Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 1063 - 191: Part 2

The coffin is very large, made of bronze, with giant raised eyes carved on top, seemingly scanning in every direction.

Zhao Yi: "If you want to ensure absolute safety, now is the time to act. Before the coffin lid opens, we should step forward and apply the Seal in advance."

Li Zhiyuan: "Suggestions not in my favor next time can be withheld."

Zhao Yi shrugged.

He was a loner, only wanting to ride out this wave and extend his life with merit, so he naturally opted for the safest approach.

As for Li Zhiyuan, during the first round of broken jade competition, he did everything possible to delay time, allowing his allies to recover from injuries. Even until the end, he tried to avoid combat expenditure, including when facing the Yu Family's two members outside. Despite knowing they were severely injured, he chose not to find excuses for a fight.

The goal was to enter here with as much composure as possible.

Having survived the tough blow, he couldn't be powerless when enjoying the sweet fruit.

The door he chose represents the puppet, aiming to seize opportunities in this regard. If you block the danger, you naturally block the opportunity.

Li Zhiyuan raised his hand: "Everyone, adjust your state."

Run Sheng took out compressed biscuits and distributed them to everyone.

Others took small bites, while he stuffed piece by piece into his mouth, savoring the aroma while not forgetting to suck the crumbs in his palm into his mouth.

"Buzzing... buzzing..."

The heavy coffin lid slowly moved forward.

In such situations, regardless of what's lying inside, if possible, continue to keep it enclosed.

Now, instead, you have to stand far away and wait quietly.

The coffin lid didn't fully open, just slid out by a third.

By human standards, if there's a person inside, it should open up to their chest position.

A pair of slender white hands slowly reached out from within the coffin.

Ten long nails, five on the left hand are red, five on the right are black.

Suddenly, the ten fingers crossed upwards!

"Pa!"

The white cocoon on the green stone column fell at this moment, heavily landing on the ground.

The ten fingers slowly released.

The white cocoon slowly tore open.

"Yeeeeee..."

A long sound came from within the white cocoon, echoing in the vacant surroundings.

Hands clapped.

"Pa!" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

The white cocoon cracked, revealing a figure dressed in white.

Actually, what it's wearing is not white clothing but rather some kind of raw silk.

Moreover, although it stood up like a person, you couldn't see its hands and feet.

Hands flipped forward.

The head of the white shadow tilted down, immediately turning red as if wearing a red lacquered mask.

Above the coffin, the fingers didn't pause anymore, continually crossing with increasing speed from slow to fast.

The movements of the masked figure also evolved from initially stiff and jerky to more fluid, as the white silk weaved its hands and feet, gradually becoming humanoid.

This entire set of movements was like the start of a dance, rhythmic and musical, reaching towards a climax.

Zhao Yi: "What do you think, this looks like..."

Li Zhiyuan: "Nuo opera."

Nuo opera has a long history, originating from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, evolving differently in various places, and in many areas, it's also referred to as a "ghost play."

The movements of the masked person became increasingly coherent, its figure spinning sideways continuously, then abruptly stopping, arms close to its body, leaning forward, seemingly about to fall.

Soon, it began to stride towards the location where Li Zhiyuan and the others were, step by step, the pace accelerating faster.

It charged forward.

But Li Zhiyuan's main focus wasn't on it.

The young man was fully focused on the hands above the coffin.

Those hands were controlling the masked figure.

"Lin Shuyou, go!"

"Understood!"

Lin Shuyou leapt down, just blocking the path of the masked figure.

The masked figure stalled, its feet touching the ground, upper body spinning in place, and then suddenly pounced at Lin Shuyou.

To an ordinary person, this movement would seem fast, but to Lin Shuyou's perception, it was somewhat slow. He didn't even need divination, normal skills could handle it.

They exchanged punches and kicks for several rounds, and Lin Shuyou found the opponent's strength was just so-so.

After another punch exchange, Lin Shuyou immediately moved aggressively closer, pulling out his trident, directly stabbing into the masked figure's chest, then slicing sideways.

"Swoosh..."

It sounded like tearing silk fabric.

The masked figure's body split in two, fell to the ground, fire surged, and self-immolated.

In an instant, only two thin layers of ashes remained, separating above and below, and in the next moment, scattered without wind.

The opponent was very weak, almost no threat, after dealing with it, Lin Shuyou didn't even have the mind to claim credit.

Yet, he still turned back to glance at Brother Xiao Yuan behind him.

But he found Brother Xiao Yuan already sitting cross-legged, and the irritating Zhao Yi was in the same posture.

Zhao Yi: "Nuo opera puppet technique, very exquisite."

Li Zhiyuan: "Hmm."

Zhao Yi: "This is the first round."

Li Zhiyuan: "This is the opening move."

Zhao Yi: "It will go from simple to challenging, once greed surpasses, shipwreck is inevitable, we might die here, don't forget, this stone gate holds our two votes."

Li Zhiyuan: "Greed is expected."

Zhao Yi nodded: "This is from your standpoint."

Li Zhiyuan: "Hmm, but you're still talking nonsense."

At this moment, two black shadows slid down the green stone cone, landing in the white circle at the bottom apex.

The fingers above the coffin crossed again.

"Pa!"
