"What is this?"

As a result, just after they finished tidying up the fragments of the shelf, the trio found an odd pattern on the place where the shelf used to be.

The pattern was a circle with an evil ghost engraved within it.

The evil ghost seemed alive, as if it was real, even radiating a sort of spirituality. Upon seeing Xiao Mu and the others, the ghost in the circle bared its teeth and glowered.

"Something's off!"

Zhao Yan stared at the evil ghost pattern on the ground, trying to scrape it off with her hand.

"If we don't leave now, we'll be too late. We've been here too long, Lan is about to return."

Xiao Mu reached out to pull Zhao Yan.

From Zhao Yan's actions, he could tell that she probably wanted to scrape off the pattern.

"It can't be scraped off, stop trying."

The pattern was a whole piece, seemingly carved into the ground. At a glance, Xiao Mu could tell it couldn't be scraped off.

"Who's scraping?"

Zhao Yan's face flushed.

She did initially want to scrape the pattern off, but after hearing Xiao Mu's words, she immediately felt a bit embarrassed.

"Let's go, quickly!"

Xiao Mu once again urged, reaching out to grab Zhao Yan's arm, "If we don't leave now, Lan will be back soon."

Before Xiao Mu had finished speaking, Wang Tong checked his cellphone and anxiously said: "The Ghost Servant sent a message that Lan is suspicious and is on his way to the camp."

"Let's go, quickly!"

Feeling an utmost urgency, Xiao Mu pulled Zhao Yan along, "Lan is coming back, if we don't leave now, it'll be too late."

If they let Lan return and they were caught in the camp, they would undoubtedly die.

"Let's go!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yan no longer insisted, she rose and walked out with Xiao Mu.

Still, unwilling to give up, she conjured a lightning blade just as she stood up.

She threw the lightning blade out, hitting the pattern directly.

Boom!

A loud noise rang out, as if activating a certain mechanism.

The wall behind the shelf suddenly moved revealing another room.

"What is this..."

Everyone was stunned.

With just a simple throw, Zhao Yan triggered a mechanism that opened another room.

"What's in there?"

The three of them peeked together into the other room.

The size of the room was similar to the one outside, but in this room, there was only one coffin.

The coffin was very old, filled with a decaying scent, and made from blood-red ancient bronze.

This was a strange bronze coffin, rusted as if it had been there for hundreds of years.

The coffin emanated a strong evil aura.

Even worse, this evil aura turned the air above it blood red, inducing fear.

What's going on?

Feeling this evil aura, Xiao Mu, Zhao Yan, and even Wang Tong were stunned.

Our aura usually comes from zombies.

While the aura on an evil ghost is mainly evil.

This doesn't mean that ghosts don't have auras; they do, but relatively their evil aura is stronger than the evil aura.

In contrast, zombies also possess some evil aura, but are primarily shrouded in an evil aura.

Could there possibly be a zombie inside this ancient bronze coffin?

Judging by the intensity of the aura, this is probably not a normal zombie, it could possibly be a corpse general.

Zombies and evil ghosts are mortal enemies.

Why would there be a zombie in Lan's treasure vault?

"The Ghost Servant sent another update, Lan will be at the camp soon, we need to leave now or it'll be too late."

Wang Tong held his cellphone, his face full of anxiety.

After Lan returned, the Ghost Servant immediately followed with the Yin Wind Carriage.

As a Netherworld Treasure, the Yin Wind Carriage is a magical implement. Even when compared to the Curse Ghost, the speed of the Ghost Servant driving the Yin Wind Carriage is slightly faster.

Under aggressive tracking, the Ghost Servant found that Lan returned to the camp and immediately notified Wang Tong.

The Ghost Servant became anxious, worried that Xiao Mu and the others might not be able to escape in time and would be trapped in the camp.

If they were cornered inside the camp by an entity of the Curse Ghost's level, given Xiao Mu and their team's strength, they would undoubtedly be doomed.

"Get moving!"

Wang Tong urged again, his sweat flowing due to anxiety.

From the Ghost Servant's anxiety, he guessed that Lan had probably reached the outskirts of the camp.

If they did not leave now, they would definitely be trapped inside.

"Ahaa~"

All of a sudden, an amazing howl came from the ancient blood-red bronze coffin.

This howl was filled with majesty, packed with a strong deterrent power, clearly it was emitted by some powerful entity.

However, this sound wasn't loud, as if it was under some kind of a seal, obstructed and so, sounded confined, making it hard to propagate.

Meanwhile, this sound inside seemed to carry a plea for help.

Xiao Mu and Zhao Yan exchanged glances, both faces filled with seriousness.

Should they stay or leave?

If they stayed, Lan would be back soon, and if they didn't leave, they'd definitely be trapped in the treasure vault.

If they left, the ancient blood-red bronze coffin seemed to have a powerful Zombie sealed within it. Judging from the aura the assumed adversary had released, it was at least a corpse general.

This corpse general seemed to hold a grudge against Lan, utilizing the blood-red bronze coffin to seal it within the inner layer of the treasure vault.

Furthermore, from the corpse general's earlier howl, they assessed that this corpse general was pleading with them for help.

So, should they stay or leave?

In an instant, Xiao Mu and Zhao Yan both made their decision, exchanged a significant look, and resolutely walked deeper inside.

"You guys..."

Seeing this, Wang Tong's face changed dramatically.

Lan would be back soon, yet Xiao Mu and Zhao Yan were actually both headed into the treasure vault.

However, as a teammate, he felt helpless. He couldn't just abandon Xiao Mu and Zhao Yan and escape by himself.

He gritted his teeth and followed them inside.

"Ahaa~"

The Zombie's howl came from inside the bronze coffin again.

By this time, both Xiao Mu and Zhao Yan had approached it.

The blood-red sucker dyed the bronze coffin in red. The coffin had become completely transparent, so they could clearly see the interior.

At one glance, they saw a Zombie sealed inside the bronze coffin.

On its back was a triangular flag.

This was the Corpse General Banner.

Apparently, this was a corpse general.

But then, they were both shocked.

There was not just a triangular flag on the corpse general's back.

Next to the triangle flag, there was a blood saber.

A blood-red small knife, parallel with the Corpse General Banner, inserted in the corpse general's back.

The second Evil Soldiers!

The faces of Xiao Mu, Zhao Yan, including the newly arrived Wang Tong, were filled with astonishment.

This corpse general actually possessed two Evil Soldiers.

Only, this corpse general seemed injured, with wounds all over its body from its head downwards. Chunks of flesh seemed about to fall off, black blood continuously flowed out, forming a layer inside the bronze coffin.

The corpse general's body was soaking in the blood that had flowed from its wounds.

"Ahaa~"

Seeing Xiao Mu and the others, the wounded corpse general roared again, its blood-red eyes gazing at them.

By now, the plea for help was even more apparent.

It wanted Xiao Mu and the others to open the bronze coffin to let it out.
