My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 439

Chapter 439 

Nash spent nearly an hour treating his injuries. His right hand was no longer swollen and was regaining sensation, but it was still immobile. The effects of the miraculous medicine were truly remarkable, as it had healed him significantly. 

Nash stood up and said, “Let’s go check outside.” 

He bent his legs slightly and jumped out of the coffin. Derek was squatting on the ground, examining the totem on the King of Medicine’s coffin when he heard the sound behind. He fell on his butt, startled. 

He turned around, and when he saw Nash, he let out a sigh of relief. “Mr. Nash, you scared me! I almost had a heart attack.” 

Derek got up, dusted off his clothes, and walked over to Nash. He looked at Nash’s right arm and asked, “Mr. Nash, is your injury… all better?” 

Nodding, Nash smiled faintly. “I’m fine now.” 

The others also jumped down and then stared at the King of Medicine’s coffin beneath the heavy bronze coffin, still in a daze. 

The fact that the bronze coffin lid could cut off the Undead Corpse King’s invulnerable hand meant it was incredibly heavy. If just the lid was that heavy, there was no telling the weight of the entire thing. 

Melody and Finn exchanged glances, then went to each side of the bronze coffin. Gripping the coffin, they unleashed their true energy and exerted their strength together. 

Melody and Finn could lift a large five-ton truck with ease with their combined strength. However, despite their best efforts, they could not even lift the bronze coffin an inch. 

“Let’s try again,” Melody said, seemingly determined to make another attempt. 

They put forth all their might once more, but the result was the same. The bronze coffin did not even budge. 

Anders spoke up then, “The tomb is perfectly designed. Even if someone enters it, they won’t be able to open the coffin.” 

Bradley frowned and suggested, “Is it possible that there’s some other mechanism to move the bronze coffin?” 

What the King of Medicine prized most was most certainly buried with him. They would never be able to rest in peace after going through such hardships to enter the main tomb and failing to open the owner’s coffin. 

Anders looked at the eight chains and said gravely, “There’s certainly a mechanism here, but the danger is that if the mechanism is activated and the bronze coffin is raised, it might not come down. We’d then be trapped down here.” 

Nash looked at the stone doors in four different directions. They should be the tomb’s side chambers that were used to store accompanying items. Nash led the way, and the others followed as they walked toward the side chambers. 

Beside the stone door, there was a rotary disc. Nash was about to turn it when Bradley warned, 

“Be careful, there might be a trap.” 

He then looked at Heidi and asked, “Can you sense anything?” 

Heidi smiled and said, “Of course. My sensory abilities are as good as Nico’s nose.”
