The root of the ancient vine was stuck in the rock, and it was extremely sturdy. The vine had many branches that hung down to the bottom of the cliff. The vine that hung down was as thick as a person's wrist and just happened to be in his hand.

Meng Xiaodie wanted everyone to stay there, so he decided to go down and find the way. If he found his way down, he would shake the vines and signal the people up there.

Meng Xiaodie followed the branches of the ancient vine and fell by about sixty to seventy meters. The ground under his feet suddenly felt like he was stepping on something, and when he looked down, he saw a piece of rotten wood. The board was very thick, and although it had been corroded, its surface was still smooth and was covered with mottled black paint. Meng Xiao squatted down and was about to stretch his head out to look at the bottom of the wooden board when a withered hand suddenly reached out from under the board. The withered hand was long and slender, and its joints were protruding, and five fingers grabbed onto Meng Xiaodie's boots like five hooks. Meng Xiaodie wanted to struggle free, but she couldn't.

How could there be human remains here? Could it be that there was a coffin at his feet? Meng Xiaodie suddenly remembered that in some tribes in the south, there was a popular burial method called 'Cliff Burial'. The tribesmen used several holes in the cliff to nail the wooden posts, placing the coffins on them. Some placed one end of the coffins in the cave, while the other rested on a wooden stake nailed to the cliff wall. People could see the coffins at the foot of the cliff, so they were called floating coffins.

Could it be that there was a floating coffin beneath his feet? He was standing on the coffin lid?

Seeing that the withered hand was still holding on to him, Meng Xiaodie took out the black sword and chopped off the withered hand from the wrist. He shook his boots, and those fingers fell onto the wooden board, then fell down, floating into the clouds.

Meng Xiaodie grabbed onto a vine and swung it to the side. He could clearly see the wooden board beneath his feet. It was indeed a coffin. He looked around and saw that there were many similar coffins around him. They were all arranged on top of the cliff. They were large and small, arranged in an orderly fashion. Meng Xiaodie took a look around. Most of the coffins were made of wood, and there were holes in the wall that were as dense as beehives. There were huge, red, colourful rock paintings with colorful contents, such as horse and arrow archers, dancers, entertainers, and even some strange animal drawings.

He continued to descend for a few dozen meters, and the fog became thinner. Meng Xiaodie found a protruding rock to her left, and under the rock there seemed to be a cave, although it was not far, but the vines could not reach it, and when he saw the two coffins in the middle, he gave up on the vines and jumped onto the first coffin, and just as he landed, he felt a strange vibration inside the coffin, like the sound of insects, and immediately after the lid rose, he jumped onto another coffin, and when he looked back, he saw a gray withered hand under the coffin.

Meng Xiaodie did not wait for the coffin to tremble as she jumped and jumped onto a rock outside the cave. The cave entrance was not big, it was about three to four meters wide, and it was flat, and after entering the cave, he found that it was extremely spacious, like a hall with a stone table in the middle and a stone bench in the middle. To the right of the cave, there was a carved stone altar, and further in, there was an object shining, because it was too dark to see what was inside. He saw a jade coffin here. Moreover, it was a massive jade coffin. It was truly unexpected.

Meng Xiaodie remembered that in the Celestial Water Cave on the Dragon Tiger Mountain, there were ancient tombs floating on top of the cliff. They looked mysterious and strange. The shape and size of the tombs are rare. When he had seen such a wondrous sight, he had wondered how those jade coffins on the cliff had been placed inside. And how did he hang the jade coffin on the cliff wall? With so many questions, no one could answer them.

Now, when Meng Xiaodie saw the huge jade coffin inside the cave, she was even more surprised. This jade coffin was many times bigger than the one inside the Longhu Mountain Immortal Water Cave.

The jade coffin was placed in the center of the cave. Surrounding it were carved stone terracotta soldiers, stone horses, stone swords, and some incomplete stone swords. On the left side of the jade coffin was a stone cave. The cave entrance was shaped like a circle, and there were eight seal characters written on it: Life and death are fated, and wealth reigns in the sky.

On the right side of the jade coffin, there was also a stone cave. It was rectangular and there were also eight seal characters written on it.

From the shape of the two holes and the words, one of the caves could be the passage to the next street. He retreated out of the cave and jumped past the two coffins. Pulling up the thick vines, he forcefully waved them, and brought the ancient vines near the cave.

The vines kept a distance from the two coffins, so Meng Xiaodie jumped over and pulled the vines to the rocks near the cave entrance. He turned around to look at the two coffins, but they were no longer shaking. However, those two floating coffins were too strange. Meng Xiaodie didn't know why the black hands would reach out from the coffins. Could it be that the corpses inside these coffins had mutated? Or was it a smoke screen shot by an Earth Demon? In short, it was better to stay away from them. He did not want to destroy those floating coffins. If the ones buried inside were the ancestors of some tribes, then wouldn't that mean he had committed a great evil?

After fixing the ancient vine, Meng Xiaodie shook the vine and sent a signal to the top. He jumped onto one of the floating coffins, and before he could stand still, a gray hand reached out from under the coffin's lid and grabbed his boot. He struggled a few times, but before he could break free, like Meng Xiaodie, he took out his sword of golden light and cut off the hand. Who knew that the movement inside of the coffin would suddenly increase, and as the lid rose up, he almost flipped the green-eyed dwarf over the top, he saw a head of black hair sticking out of the coffin, covering his face, but he could still see a pair of black holes.

The corpse inside the coffin pushed with all its might, causing the heavy coffin lid to fall down. The coffin lid struck the rock wall, causing a violent sound of "bam bam bam bam" to ring out. The scattered wooden board flew down, almost smashing the people outside the cave entrance, causing everyone to hurriedly run into the cave, not knowing what was happening above.

"This green-eyed dwarf is probably causing trouble again." He knew that the green-eyed dwarf must have messed with one of the floating coffins and alerted the corpse inside, causing the strange corpse inside to jump out.
