C195

The coffin was quite large, and also very tall. It was at least half the height of a person. If there was no mystery behind this, then this was definitely not a human coffin. All the races on the Ksitigarbha continent were about the same height. Apart from the few cave-dwelling Goblins, even the dwarves who were known as Dwarves were no different from ordinary humans in height. The reason why they were called Dwarves was because they were good friends with the Giants. No matter if they were fighting or living, they would always be close to Meng Yinsan. However, the number of Giant Tribe members was getting smaller and smaller, to the point that it was even less than the Goblins. In order to preserve the continuity of their race, the upper echelons of the Giant Race made a decision to stop participating in the struggle for power. Moreover, they had left the dwarves who had always advanced and retreated together.

Even before he reached it, Ji Feng discovered that the yellow color on the surface of the coffin was caused by the accumulated dust over the years. It was just like a sacrificial altar. Even the sides were covered in such a thick layer of dust, and there were almost no other elements here. One could imagine how long it had been here.

Ji Feng gently caressed the surface of the coffin. Then, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped on the surface of the coffin. Following that, a cloud of dust rose into the air and a large piece of solid mud fell to the ground. It revealed a metal that was as black as an altar.

"Stand back, I'll clean the surface of the coffin."

When Andrea took a few steps back, Ji Feng immediately made his move. After a series of crackling sounds, the mud on the coffin fell to the ground. A black coffin appeared in front of the two of them.

The two of them quickly realized that the coffin was one entity. Not to mention a gap, there wasn't even a scratch. Ji Feng immediately released his spiritual energy to check the inside of the coffin. However, the moment his spiritual energy came into contact with the surface of the coffin, it was repelled. Andrea did the same. Both of them were dumbfounded. Of course, he didn't think it was just a piece of metal.

Therefore, the two of them circled around the coffin to the left and right to start inspecting it. In the end, the two went around in a circle and jumped up to the top in succession, yet they still could not find anything useful.

Ji Feng suddenly thought of a question and said, "Andrea, do you think there is a pedestal at the bottom of the pedestal and the pedestal on top is just right on top?"

"Whether this is the case or not, we'll know once we try."

Thus, the two of them immediately started pushing each other. For this reason, Ji Feng mobilized 90% of his Zhen Qi. However, the coffin didn't move at all, and in the end, the two had no choice but to give up.

They didn't push the coffin forward, but their true qi didn't suffer any loss. This was because this place was filled with an exceptionally rich earth element, and the Nameless Art did not require much energy. Thus, the Zhen Qi consumed by the two of them pushing the coffin was quickly replenished.

Both Ji Feng and Andrea discovered that the true energy color within their meridians and dantian was quietly changing from colorless to earthen yellow. This was caused by absorbing too much earth elemental energy. For this reason, Ji Feng carefully examined the green ball that was still in the middle of his dantian. The small ball ignored the true energy around it that was biased towards the earth attribute, and there was no interaction between the two. This situation allowed Ji Feng to slowly calm down.

At this moment, Andrea spoke up. "We can't open it at all, Bonan. Shall we go?"

"I have a feeling that if we want to leave this place, we should start with this coffin."

"But we can't open it at all?"

"That's because we didn't find the right way. We must have missed something." As Ji Feng spoke, he jumped on top of the coffin and squatted down to take a closer look.

He looked over the coffin carefully, but he still couldn't find anything. Just as he was about to jump down, he caught a glimpse of the surface of the coffin and his eyes widened. When he looked closely, he saw nothing. However, he had already thought of the reason. He tilted his body and once again looked at the surface of the coffin. He immediately saw some marks. These imprints could only be seen by reflecting light.

With this discovery, Ji Feng immediately said to Andrea, "Come up and take a look."

She had gone up to take a look and had looked very carefully, but she hadn't seen anything. Thus, when she went up, her face was full of doubt. This was because the top of the coffin was as dark as the surroundings. Nothing could be seen. Andrea still hadn't seen anything.

"Try looking sideways at the surface of the coffin."

Andrea immediately realized that she had overlooked something. She bent over to look at the surface of the coffin, as Ji Feng had told her to do. Immediately, she saw the patterns on the surface of the coffin. The patterns were very complicated, covering every corner of the coffin's ceiling. Then, Ji Feng jumped down and used the same method to look around the coffin. He immediately realized that the surface of the coffin that he hadn't seen before had very complex patterns on it.

Looking at the magic array, Ji Feng immediately thought of the printed circuit on Earth. These patterns were too similar to the printed circuit, the only difference being that the printed circuit could see some marks, but the patterns on it could only be seen from a certain angle.

Then, Andrea saw the invisible pattern around the coffin and said, "This is a magic array. The magic array's inscription method has long since been lost."

"How much do you know about magic arrays?" he asked.

"The composition of the magic array is too complicated. I've only seen a few before when I was bored, so I don't know much. I can only recognize a few symbols."

"So, this is really a magic array?" Ji Feng couldn't help but think of the books he bought about making magic tools. There were some simple magic arrays on top of them. As long as it was a magic array, it would definitely be sealed. The complexity of the magic array determined the quality of the magic tools.

"It must be. I can recognize some simple symbols of earth-type magic arrays."

"It seems like we can only think of another way to leave this place."

"That's not necessarily true."

"Do you have a way to activate the magic array on it?"

"It's just an idea. I don't know if it will really work."

"Hmm?"

Your Nameless Art can absorb any type of energy, and you can try to use earth attribute true energy to permeate from the source of this magic array. Presumably, as long as we find the first line of the magic array and you try to condense earth element and go along that line, you will be able to activate the magic array and even open this metal coffin.

"No, I can't do it. The lines of this magic array are too long."

"Do you have any other way? "If not, why not give it a try?"

"Just as you said, but how are we going to find the source of the magic array?"

"The start of any magic array can be traced. High level array masters can hide their starting brush very well, but the start of a magic array does exist. As long as you put your heart into it, you can find that it's different from other places."

"Can you be more specific?"

"The start of a magic array has a lot to do with the habits of array masters. There are no fixed marks."

"You make it sound like you didn't say anything."

"Of course I know it's hard, but it's the only way I know."

After that, the two of them split up to the left and right to look for the place where the magic array had been drawn. This was not an ordinary difficulty. Even though the two of them were cultivators, they could only use their eyes to look for the place where the brush started. However, this altar was too big. If Ji Feng did not instinctively believe that there was a way to leave, he would not have done so because the altar was too big.

Not long after they started, the two of them noticed the ground trembling and immediately thought of the Earth Bugs they met earlier. They looked at each other, then jumped onto the altar at the same time, looking towards the direction where the vibration came from. As cultivators, their eyesight was very good. Not long after, they saw something appear on the ground in the distance. In a few moments, they could clearly see that it was actually the Earth Toad that they had thought of.

Although they immediately thought of the Earth Bugs, they were still somewhat surprised when they saw it. They didn't think that this thing would actually catch up to them. Ji Feng had no intention of continuing to flee, because the Earth Bugs could not possibly climb onto the altar.

"Bonan, could it be that these bugs are here to avenge their comrade?"

"I don't think so. I've never heard that these bugs are so united."

"Then for other reasons?"

"Maybe it's because of this altar."

Andrea fell silent. Clearly, she too agreed with Monsoon.

Worms were after all bugs. No matter how big or small they were, the way they travelled was about the same. As a result, their speed was naturally not very fast. However, with their size, their walking speed was much faster than an ordinary person's.

Not long after, both Ji Feng and Andrea clearly saw the number of bugs. There were more than a hundred of them, not more than a dozen. This result was out of their expectations. However, they were sure that their previous guess was correct. In other words, these bugs weren't chasing after them, they were chasing after the altar. With this conclusion, the two of them once again sized up the altar beneath their feet. Besides the magic array carved on top of it, he hadn't been able to find anything else out of the ordinary.

The bugs were making a lot of noise, raising dust everywhere they passed. Due to their huge size, as they got closer, Ji Feng and Andrea could feel the tremors getting stronger and stronger.

Under the gaze of the two, more than a hundred ground borer bugs finally arrived in front of the altar, and Ji Feng also confirmed the specific number of earth borer bugs in total of 147.

When they were about thirty meters away from the altar, all the earth borers stopped in unison. Their heads were raised, just like soldiers who were being scrutinized.

"Bonan, what are they doing?"

"I don't know. I've never seen anything like this before."

As they spoke, one of the ground borer moved suddenly, and they immediately stared at the earth borer to see what it was up to. Immediately, their eyes widened. This was because they saw that when the Earth Borer arrived in front of the altar, it did not slow down, but instead directly crashed into it.

Feeling some weak vibrations, the two rushed to the edge. When they looked out, they saw that the bug had actually crashed into it. Its head was already smashed, and the earthen yellow fluid was splattering everywhere. Then, their eyes widened even more as they saw the earthen yellow juice seep into the black metal. They saw where the liquid had seeped in, and the light seemed to shine. The color of the light was also khaki. If it wasn't for the two of them staring at the screen, they probably wouldn't have noticed this detail. Seeing this, the two of them looked at each other again. They could see the same thought in each other's eyes.

At this moment, the second Earth Borer also started up. It repeated the movements of the Earth Borer Worm from before and crashed onto the altar. Their mouths were open when they saw the bug rush to the altar. The mouth was a weak place for the earth borer, and also the most vulnerable place for an adult.

Under the gaze of the two, the second earth bug also collided with the altar, because the place of impact was the mouth of the earth bug. Under the gaze of the two people, the second earth bug also crashed into the altar, because the place of impact was the mouth of the earth bug. Once again, Monsoon and Andrea saw the glimmer of light.

Then there were the third and fourth ?. It was strange to both of them that the ground borers had all been killed in the same place. "What happened, Bonan?" Andrea said, still in awe of the Bugs' suicide party.

"Maybe there's something in the altar that controls them."

When the fiftieth bug was killed, the two saw a change in the place where the bug committed suicide, where the magic array lit up. The jumbled magic array symbols clearly appeared in front of the two of them. They no longer needed to change their angles to carefully look at them.

"Bonan, that's where the magic array started! I never thought that the altar and the magic array on the coffin would be one. No wonder we can't find it. "

"It would be weird if we could find it. Don't you see how big this altar is? It would be good if we could find it in half a month's time."

"That's true."

After the magic array was lit up, the rest of the Earth Borer Worms seemed to have received some sort of stimulation. At the same time, they raised their heads and fixed their small eyes on the place where the sacrificial altar was lit up.

The rest of the bugs still methodically rushed over one by one to commit suicide, each one without any hesitation. Seeing this, the two of them felt their hearts sink. Although the bugs were not their own kind, seeing them die one after another in front of them, they couldn't help but feel some sympathy.
