The interior of the bronze coffin gradually quieted down. No one spoke anymore. Everyone was filled with fear as they stared at the coffin containing the corpses. Everyone was very nervous.
The bronze coffin was mottled with green rust. What kind of person was inside?
"All of this should be related to the Five-Colored Altar on Mount Tai."
After a long time, everyone began to discuss in low voices. They wanted to know why all of this had happened.
"It should be related to the Five-Colored Altar. It was the one that brought the nine dragon corpses and the bronze coffin here."
Everything they had seen was too unimaginable. It had seriously impacted everyone's cognition. The Five-Colored Altar was built by the ancient people and could be said to be endlessly mysterious. Ye Fan thought of many things. How many unknown secrets were hidden in the history?
Since nothing dangerous had happened, everyone gradually calmed down and began to seriously speculate about what had happened.
"Maybe the nine dragons pulling the coffin was called here by the ancient people." As soon as this was said, someone immediately retorted, "The ancient people have been dead for who knows how many years."
"What I mean is, the nine dragons pulling the coffin was late and only appeared now. This is a response to the ancient people."
When a female student said this, everyone was startled. The call from the ancient people, the late nine dragons and the coffin, a response that spanned thousands of years. This was a bit unbelievable!
"What is the truth? We have no way of knowing. Everything is just speculation. There are many possibilities."
"Yes, maybe the nine dragons pulling the coffin has nothing to do with the ancient people and returned on their own."
"Do you see those bronze engravings? There are ancient ancestors, primordial deities, and many of the engravings have tear stains on them. It makes one feel desolate and sorrowful, as if they are telling a story from long ago."
"Maybe it's true. The nine dragons pulling the coffin broke through the natural barrier and returned to their homeland! It's a bloody past … "
Could it be that the ancient people really had some unknown method to explore an unknown and distant place? The nine dragons pulling the coffin, returning to their homeland, returning to life, returning the bones, and returning the corpses.
In the midst of the discussion, everyone's fear lessened and they began to speculate about all kinds of possibilities. However, they were still full of reverence for the bronze coffin in the center. No one touched it, let alone opened it.
"I think the rescuers should have reached Mount Tai by now. Maybe they are not far away."
"Hopefully, nothing unexpected will happen and we'll be rescued as soon as possible."
No one had a way to escape from the ancient coffin. The bronze coffin was eight to nine meters tall, and it was sealed shut. There was no way to escape.
Just as everyone was hoping to get out of danger as soon as possible, the bronze coffin suddenly trembled violently. Everyone lost their balance and swayed. Many people directly fell to the ground.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Everyone was bewildered. Some of the female students even started to cry, tightly grabbing onto the people around them.
"Have the rescuers arrived? Are they here to rescue us?"
Amidst the worry and fear, the copper coffin began to shake even more fiercely. No one could stand still, and almost everyone fell to the ground, making intimate contact with the cold bronze coffin.
Bang!
There was another violent tremor, as if a plane was passing through the cold clouds at high altitudes, forming a thick layer of ice armor, constantly shaking.
Boom!
The final violent tremor was like a clap of thunder, as if it wanted to shatter all tangible matter. One could clearly feel that a great collision had occurred with the bronze coffin.
However, it was also at this moment that the bronze carvings inside the pitch-black bronze coffin began to emit a faint light, instantly counteracting the unimaginable impact.
Everyone was bewildered. Just now, they clearly felt that the sky and earth were about to be turned upside down, but in the blink of an eye, everything had calmed down. It gave them a strange illusion.
"No, there was indeed a terrifying impact just now. Why did it suddenly stop?"
"It was not an illusion. The bronze coffin did indeed have an intense collision and flipped over a few times. However, we were not affected."
At this moment, everyone was shocked to find that the bronze coffin was hanging on the side wall of the coffin. It was firmly fixed there, and did not fall down.
"The bronze coffin has already flipped over. The small coffin holding the corpse must have been firmly cast at the bottom of the big coffin, and it would be difficult to move. Thus, after the coffin flipped over and tilted, it looked like it was hanging on the side wall."
One could imagine how terrifying the impact just now was, but it was neutralized by the faint light emitted by the bronze carvings. It was inconceivable.
"Light, the light from outside!" Li Xiaoman exclaimed.
Everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction that Li Xiaoman was looking at. In front of them, there was indeed a faint light shining in.
"The bronze coffin flipped over, and the coffin lid tilted, opening a gap. We are finally out of danger!"
The bronze coffin lid deviated from its original position, and the gap was large enough for two people to walk out side by side. However, it was very dark outside, so the light that shone into the bronze coffin was not obvious.
Everyone let out a cheer and rushed forward, wanting to escape this pitch-black and terrifying space. They did not want to stay for even a second longer.
However, when everyone rushed out of the bronze coffin, they were all stunned like clay sculptures.
The ground seemed to have been soaked in blood. It was reddish-brown, cold, and lonely. What entered their eyes was a vast and desolate expanse. There were a few large rocks scattered on the ground, and they looked like tombstones as far as the eye could see.
The light in this world was dim, and it was dusky. It was like a lifeless dusk, and there was a faint black fog lingering around.
Everyone was dumbstruck. This place could not be the peak of Mount Tai!
The reddish-brown land that stretched as far as the eye could see was remote and deathly still. There was not a single sign of life. It was not a place that they knew of at all.
They had never seen it before, and they had never heard of it. It was a completely strange and mysterious place!
"Where … is this? Have we … left Mount Tai?" The voice of the person who spoke was trembling.
"The rescuers isolated us in a no man's land. Are they afraid that the nine dragon corpses will be in danger?" The student who said these words could not even convince himself.
Everyone had a bad premonition, as if something extremely bad was about to happen to them. At this moment, many people used their phones to call out at the same time, but it was impossible to get through. There was no signal at all.
"This is not Mount Tai. Where are we?" Many people revealed a panicked expression. There was no joy after escaping, only fear.
From being trapped in the bronze coffin to walking out again, only a quarter of an hour had passed. However, the scene in front of them had completely changed. The majestic and majestic Mount Tai that could overlook tens of thousands of mountains had disappeared. In front of them was a boundless desert covered with gravel.
Ye Fan watched all of this quietly. The bad premonition had indeed come true. When he saw the Eight Trigrams of Tai Chi condense on Mount Tai and form a dark and huge passage, he had a bad feeling. Although he did not see the nine dragons pulling the coffin into the passage that led to an unknown area, there was no need to think too much at this moment. The scene in front of him was enough to explain everything. This was not Mount Tai, and it was not even on Earth for a long time.
