Chapter 60: Sliding Coffin
That’s right, ever since Yun Qin entered the cave, she also became one of the “voodoo worms”.
After Yun Qin saw this beast ghost, she immediately gave up on the idea of fighting it head-on.
Not only did this beast ghost have a strange appearance, making it hard to find its weakness, but the amount of evil energy surging off its body was three times more than Yun Qin’s.
Moreover, it had already lost its mind. It only had violent and murderous desires. It was not afraid of death at all.
If Yun Qin wanted to fight it, she would have to stake it on her life.
However, after her near-death experience at the Song family mansion, Yun Qin did not want to experience that again. Plus, she still had her and Song Yin’s child in her belly.
Seeing that the beast ghost was about to charge toward her, Yun Qin quickly ran behind the stone coffin and stared at the beast ghost vigilantly.
She did not expect that this strange coffin would become something that could temporarily protect Yun Qin.
When the beast ghost saw that Yun Qin was hiding behind the coffin, it rushed over. However, as soon as it was within range, the coffin sucked away the evil energy emitting from its body. It immediately turned around and rushed away, staring at Yun Qin from afar as if it was staring at its prey.
Clearly, in its eyes, Yun Qin was much more desirable than the coffin.
Yun Qin felt that once the beast ghost kills her, it would immediately pounce into the coffin and turn into nourishment for the blue bead.
Even if the beast ghost wanted to become nourishment, she did not. Yun Qin was very unwilling. Her hands searched the coffin, trying to pry open the coffin lid again.
However, just as she walked to the other side to get a better grip to lift the lid, she suddenly felt a groove at the bottom of the coffin.
This groove had a strange shape. It was smooth and round to the touch, but there were also zigzag patterns on the sides.
She suddenly had an epiphany. Yun Qin took out the jade pendant from her pocket and pressed it against the groove at the bottom.
After adjusting the angle and direction, she heard a clicking sound. The jade pendant perfectly matched the groove at the bottom.
After placing the jade pendant in, the stone coffin made a sound that was like friction, as if some mechanism was activated. After a while, the lid on the coffin slowly slid open and blue light shot out.
This coffin had a sliding lid? Yun Qin was shocked.
However, when the blue bead’s light shot out, it caught the beast ghost’s attention and the ghost quickly rushed towards Yun Qin and the coffin.
Yun Qin did not know why, but she felt that the beast ghost was choosing between herself and the blue bead. It seemed as if it was debating which side was more attractive.
As the stone coffin opened, the interior of the coffin was completely exposed. The blue bead’s lustrous light instantly covered the entire cave.
The beast ghost seemed to make up its mind. The blue light in its eyes intensified, and it condensed its evil energy into a ball.
It wanted to use up all of its evil energy to smash Yun Qin to death, and then fuse with the blue bead.
Yun Qin immediately used her “Insight” ability to detect what the beast ghost was thinking. She was shocked. At this moment, it was already too late to escape. The beast ghost’s self-detonation would affect the entire cave. Even if she survived the beast ghost’s attack, she would still be smashed to death by the falling stones.
Looking at the large ball of evil energy smashing at her, Yun Qin made a very risky decision.
She used her mana to hold the blue bead and then used all her strength to throw the blue bead at the beast ghost. Her series of actions only took about two seconds to complete.
Then, a violent wave of evil energy fluctuations occurred about ten meters above her head. The intensity of the fluctuations sent her flying down the stairs. Fortunately, Yun Qin subconsciously wrapped herself with her evil energy, so she was not seriously injured.
When she raised her head, the beast ghost already disappeared, leaving only a blue bead in the air.
The blue bead slowly floated back into the stone coffin. When Yun Qin followed it to take a look, she found that the man in the coffin turned into a pile of ash. The corpse of the man who never aged seemed to be just a dream.
However, Yun Qin already remembered that man’s appearance of that man. He looked like a typical Northerner. His forehead was a little flat, and there was a protruding black mole on the side of his face.
It seemed that after the bead left his body, the corpse no longer had a source of energy to prevent his body from rotting. Therefore, the corps quickly aged and decayed, finally turning into a pile of ash.
Looking at the blue bead that was still emitting a gentle and soft light despite having absorbed so much evil energy, Yun Qin thought about reaching out and taking it.
What if there were answers on this bead?
However, just as Yun Qin touched the bead, she was shocked by the large amount of evil energy contained within.
She had never seen such surging and turbulent power. When she touched the bead, she felt like a mayfly staring at a large tree.
How many battles would she have to go through to absorb this much evil energy?
But in the blink of an eye, the bead disappeared into thin air, leaving no trace behind.
Yun Qin was stunned. She sensed that there was no additional evil energy in her body.
