Chapter 993 Opening The Coffin
When Jared let go of Edgar, the latter fell to the ground like a tattered doll.
Only then did Godrick let the two Martial Arts Grandmasters of the Deragons help Edgar up.
Jared glanced at everyone and uttered, “This painting is mine, and no one’s going to take it away from me. Whoever wants to try snatching it from me, you’re welcome to give it a try. If no one’s going to do that, buzz off!”
No one dared to have any thoughts of taking the painting after witnessing what had happened, so they all started back on the path they came from.
At the same time, the people from the Deragons held Warren and Edgar up and left.
“I swear to have my revenge. I’m going to kill him!” Edgar shouted angrily after getting out of the cave and having his martial energy restored.
“Don’t worry. That b*stard won’t be able to leave the ancient tomb. If he dares to come out, I’m going to tear him to pieces.” Warren’s eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Skylar remained in the cave after everyone had left. He merely stood there as if he was waiting for something.
“Mr. Norton, everyone has left. So why are you still standing here?” Howard asked.
“I’m just curious about what’s inside the coffin. I’d like to check it out,” Skylar answered flatly.
“But our martial energy is suppressed now, no? We can’t even get close to that coffin. How are you going to check it out?” Howard asked curiously.
“Well, we have him, don’t we?” Skylar pointed at Jared. “He can surely open the coffin.”
Howard looked at Jared and asked, “Jared, are you planning on opening the coffin?”
Jared nodded. Since I’m already here, I would have to see if the coffin has any magical items.
“You ought to be careful, though. There are a lot of traps around. Even if you can get some magical items, you might not be able to leave. Those people are waiting for you outside, after all,” Howard reminded.
“I know. But I still have to see what’s inside the coffin first.” With that, Jared jumped and landed on the coffin.
When he saw the head of a dragon that bulged slightly, he held his breath and twisted it gently.
Creak!
The sound of friction rang, and the cover of the coffin gradually opened up.
After it opened, a golden light was seen flashing from within. Jared then saw a corpse dressed in golden clothes with a crown adorning its head.
No one knew how many years it had been there, but the corpse still maintained its original posture, and it had not rotted at all. There were also pieces of jewelry made of jade placed on both sides of the corpse.
The moment the coffin opened, Jared felt a huge wave of spiritual energy coming out of it. Perhaps the corpse didn’t rot because of the spiritual energy.
“Jared, are there any treasures in there?” Howard asked curiously when he saw the coffin open up.
“No. Just some jewelry. But they’re not really helpful for cultivation, though.” Jared shook his head. He wasn’t interested in the jewelry because he wasn’t in need of money. In the end, he picked out a few items that contained spiritual energy and put them in his pocket.
When Jared was about to close the coffin, he was suddenly attracted to a black ring the corpse was wearing. Most of the kings would prefer to wear rings made of jade. I’ve never seen a king wearing a black and unattractive ring before.
Since the ring had piqued Jared’s interest, he took the ring and put it in his pocket before closing the coffin up.
When Jared got down from the coffin, Howard and Colin quickly went up to him curiously.
“Jared, show us what you found!” Colin uttered eagerly.
Right then, Skylar also approached him with the hunched-back old man.
