Chapter 1726 - 1726 Resurrection
1726 Resurrection
Fang Heng looked at Lu Yanlong again. The two of them exchanged a glance, then reached out and slowly pushed the heavy sarcophagus forward.
“Chi chi chi…”
The heavy sarcophagus made a sizzling sound as the lid was removed. Fang Heng gradually saw the scene inside the sarcophagus and could not help but narrow his eyes.
A thin layer of transparent spatial barrier.
Beneath the spatial barrier, the remains of an alien spawn lay in the coffin.
Perhaps due to the spatial barrier isolating the external environment, the corpse inside the sarcophagus was extremely well-preserved.
It didn’t look rotten at all and seemed to have fallen asleep.
Fang Heng opened the lid of the entire sarcophagus and placed it on the ground.
Lu Yanlong carefully swallowed his saliva and lowered his head to look into the sarcophagus.
The corpse of the spawn?
If one had to describe it, this skeleton was very ‘fresh’!
Perhaps the spawns had a special way of preserving corpses.
Spatial storage could prevent the corpse from being destroyed by bacteria.
Fang Heng stared at the corpse, thinking about the clues.
There were still no game notifications or mission triggers.
Something was wrong…
Fang Heng placed his hand under his lips and looked at the corpse, deep in thought.
They had followed the mission all the way to this place. They had found the corpses of spawns beside the sarcophagus and had even obtained rewards from the corpses.
But what happened after that?
There was no follow-up mission?
There was nothing special about the entire mausoleum.
Was it really just to protect the mausoleum that the spawns had spent so much effort on?
It felt strange.
Based on his past gaming experience, if he were to design the game, he would definitely not place the final reward on the corpse next to the coffin, but in the coffin.
At the same time, he would also design a few traps for the players to fall into.
However, the corpse in front of him did not seem to be a problem.
So what was the problem?
Could it be…
Fang Heng stared at the corpse.
Was it the corpse?
Bring it back for research?
Or was there something hidden under the corpse?
Just as Fang Heng was pondering whether he should bring the corpse back for research, Lu Yanlong’s expression suddenly changed.
“Mr. Fang!”
Lu Yanlong called out in a low voice. There was a hint of nervousness in his voice.
“What?”
“Eyes! His eyes are moving!”
Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat, and he looked up at the eyes of the corpse.
The eyes of the corpse were originally closed.
But suddenly, the corpse’s eyelids twitched slightly!
Swoosh!!
In the next moment, the corpse’s eyes suddenly opened!
Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat!
They were completely different from the spawns he had seen before!
The spawns had white pupils but the eyes of the corpse were bloodshot!
Resurrected?!
Fang Heng stared at the corpse’s every move.
Or did he not die at all?
“Bang!”
The spawn stood up abruptly, but it slammed into the outer spatial barrier with a loud bang.
“Boom!!!”
The entire membrane barrier exploded under the impact!
In the next moment, Lu Yanlong’s expression changed drastically. At the same time, he crushed the scroll in his hand and shouted, “Mr. Fang! Retreat!”
Swoosh!!!
A white light flowed out from the magic scroll in Lu Yanlong’s hand and enveloped Fang Heng and him in an instant!
Almost at the same time, Fang Heng felt an extremely powerful spatial power fluctuation explode in the surroundings!
He was still staring at the resurrected spawn in front of him!
With the violent spatial fluctuations caused by the spatial collapse, the alien spawn actually reached out to grab him after he revived, making a gesture of wanting to attack!
Just a second before he was about to be enveloped by the spatial energy, Fang Heng’s pupils suddenly constricted, and his dagger quickly slashed forward.
“Chi!!”
Fang Heng was surprised to find that the spawn’s body was extremely dry and fragile as if there was no water in him!
With an extremely dry sound, the dagger cut off a small finger of the spawn!
The severed finger rapidly decayed in the air!
It was as if he had been dehydrated in a short period of time and lost all his vitality.
Almost subconsciously, Fang Heng reached out to grab it.
In the next moment, Fang Heng’s vision was enveloped by a world of white.
At the same time, Fana and the other players who were waiting in the passage felt the spatial energy fluctuations coming from the stone chamber!
Fana’s expression changed drastically, and she shouted, “Retreat!”
The player team realized that something was wrong and quickly retreated.
“Boom!!!”
In the next moment, the space gradually collapsed in front of everyone like shattered sand!
A moment later, the passage ahead was covered by a white spatial rift.
Traces of spatial turbulence were constantly flowing out of the spatial rift.
Without a doubt, this was the scene after the spatial passage shattered.
Everyone stood at the entrance of the passage and looked at the white spatial rift left behind by the spatial collapse in front of them. They fell into silence again.
Space had the ability to heal itself, and such cracks would slowly heal within a few days.
At that time, the collapsed space would return to its original state.
However, everything that was sucked into the collapsed space would be completely destroyed.
Fana retracted her gaze from the spatial rift and said, “It seems like they have encountered some trouble. However, with Mister Lu around, Fang Heng shouldn’t be in danger.”
At the same time, outside the mausoleum, Fang Heng and Lu Yanlong used the random spatial escape scroll and appeared above the lake.
“Bang! Bang!”
The two of them fell into the water.
The lake was less than half a meter deep.
Fang Heng quickly stood up from the water again and spread his tightly clenched palms.
A rotten and dried finger appeared in the center of his palm.
The game notification appeared.
[Hint: The player has obtained an unknown rotten remains.]
[Item: Unknown rotten remains.]
Description: Rotten remains. It seems to be obtained from a certain humanoid life form.
Description: The player does not possess the relevant skills. Unable to obtain more information.
Fang Heng put his fingers into his backpack and thought about what he had just seen.
So, the alien spawn that was placed inside the sarcophagus did not die?
Why?
Beside him, Lu Yanlong also stood up from the shallow water and walked over to Fang Heng’s side, panting with lingering fear.
“Mr. Fang, let’s not do such dangerous things in the future.”
Fortunately, he was proficient in the master-level spatial science. If it were anyone else, they would have fallen into the spatial collapse trap.
“Yes.”
Fang Heng hummed in acknowledgment and raised his head to ask, “You saw what was in the sarcophagus just now, right? What do you think?”
Lu Yanlong smiled bitterly in his heart. He knew that Fang Heng most likely did not take his words to heart.
“Actually, I didn’t see it clearly. My attention was focused on the spatial fluctuations, but that spawn didn’t die, right?”
“Yes, indeed.”
Fang Heng nodded.
He was sure that he saw the spawn in the sarcophagus resurrecting and standing up again. The latter broke through the spatial barrier and then rushed towards him.
However, at that time, the spatial trap was triggered and the entire space collapsed. He quickly retreated under Lu Yanlong’s escort.
