In the center of the main tomb chamber, the coffin emitted a strange aura that made Harrison uneasy.
But they had already come this far, and returning empty-handed was not an option.
Not only would he not accept it, but no one who came with him would either.
At that moment, a Grandmaster-level expert from the Ward family nodded and said eagerly, "Yes! There's only one possibility left! The treasure is inside this coffin!"
Others chimed in, "The best treasures are always kept close to their owners."
"Who knows what incredible things could be inside that coffin?"
"A treasure that can help a family in dire straits like ours must be something extraordinary!"
"Let's open it up! Who's going to do it?"
Harrison gestured to several members of Mountshifters and said, "Open the coffin carefully!"
"Yes!" replied one of them.
The next second, they took out a white candle and walked towards the southeast corner of the tomb chamber before lighting it carefully on the ground.
According to their rules for grave-robbing, anyone who wants to open a coffin after entering must light a candle at the southeast corner first.
If there is suddenly a crowing rooster or if the candle goes out when opening up a coffin - these are all bad omens.
In such cases you must put back anything taken from within or face disaster.
After the Mountshifters disciples lit the candles, they began using tools to open the coffin. At the same time, Harrison also stared intently at the candle in the southeast corner. For a while, everyone in the tomb felt both nervous and excited.
Boom!
In just a moment, accompanied by the sound of the coffin lid being pushed open, the pitch-black coffin was opened. However, at that moment, a cold wind suddenly appeared in the tomb. The candle in the southeast corner was immediately extinguished, and the entire tomb seemed to darken.
"The candle went out?" Harrison, who had been staring at the candle, exclaimed. Everyone felt a shiver run down their spines.
"What's going on? How could the candle go out?"
"Damn it, did Master Flame leave a dangerous trap for the Ward family?"
"Mr. Segal, are you playing tricks on us?"
"That's right, trying to scare us away so that the Mountshifters can keep the treasure for themselves, right?"
As the candle went out, the atmosphere in the tomb became even more tense and eerie. In this state of mind, everyone was filled with uncertainty and speculation. Some were panicking, some were angry, some were unwilling, and some were filled with suspicion.
Joseph's eyes flickered as he remembered Anders' instructions. He gritted his teeth and said, "What are you afraid of? Even if the candle goes out, so what? We have martial experts and experts in the occult here. Even if we encounter a ghost, what can it do? We've come this far, we have to see what's inside this coffin! There's no way we're leaving empty-handed! Mr. Segal, Gonzo, am I right?"
Joseph stared directly at the two of them, his voice deep and firm. The members of the Cohen family also looked at them, with a hint of suspicion, wondering if Harrison was intentionally causing trouble.
However, at that moment, after absorbing the aura of the living, a pair of dark hands suddenly emerged from the coffin, gripping the sides. The next second, a figure slowly sat up from the coffin.
In an instant, the entire main burial chamber was filled with a chilling aura.
"This... What is this?" Everyone held their breath, witnessing this terrifying scene.
