Chapter 10: Vast Land

Inside the dark bronze coffin, silence gradually fell, and no one spoke. All were filled with fear and looked at the bronze coffin that contained the remains of a person. The heavy breathing of the crowd was audible, and each person's heart was tight with tension.

"The cause of all this must be related to the Five-Colored Altar on Mount Tai."

After a long time, the crowd finally whispered to each other, trying to figure out what was happening and why.

"It should be related to the Five-Colored Altar, which attracted the nine dragon corpses and the bronze coffin," someone said.

Everything they had seen was too unbelievable, seriously challenging the cognitive thinking of those present. The Five-Colored Altar was built by the ancient ancestors and was so mysterious and boundless. Ye Fan wondered how many secrets were hidden in the ancient history.

"There was a time when the nine dragon corpses were summoned by the ancient ancestors," someone suggested. "But the ancient people have been gone for many years."

"What I mean is that the nine dragon corpses were late in coming, and their appearance now is a response to the ancient ancestors."

When a female classmate put forward this idea, everyone was stunned. The call from the ancient ancestors, the late arrival of the nine dragons, and the ancient coffin, all responding across thousands of years, were simply too incredible!

"We have no way of knowing the truth, and everything is just speculation with many possibilities."

"Yes, maybe the nine dragon corpses have nothing to do with the ancient ancestors at all, and they returned on their own."

"Have you seen the bronze carvings inside the dark bronze coffin? There are ancient ancestors, ancient gods, and many figures carved with tears, making people feel a sense of desolation and sadness, as if telling a distant story."

"Perhaps it is true, the Nine Dragons Coffin, breaking through the dangers, returning to its hometown! A story of tears..."

Could it be that the ancient ancestors really had unknown means and explored a distant and unknown place? The Nine Dragons Coffin, returning to its hometown, born and gone, bones returned, wrapped and buried.

Amidst the discussions, the fear of the people gradually diminished, and various possibilities were imagined. However, the bronze coffin in the central position was still regarded with awe, and no one dared to touch it, let alone open it.

"I think the rescuers should have climbed Mount Tai by now, maybe they are not far away."

"Hopefully, nothing unexpected happens and we can be rescued soon."

There was no way for the people to leave the ancient coffin, as the bronze coffin was over ** meters high and sealed tightly by its lid, making it impossible to escape.

As they hoped for a quick escape, the bronze coffin suddenly shook violently, causing everyone to lose their balance and fall to the ground.

"What's happening? Did something happen?" The people were uncertain and anxious. Some female students even started to cry and held tightly onto those around them.

"Have the rescuers arrived? Are they trying to rescue us?"

Amidst worry and fear, the shaking of the bronze coffin became even more violent, causing everyone to be unable to stand, and almost all fell to the ground, intimately touching the cold bronze coffin.

"Boom!"

Another violent shake, like a plane passing through the cold clouds in high altitude, covered with a thick layer of ice, constantly shaking.

"Boom!"

The last violent shake, like a thunderbolt, as if it wanted to shatter all tangible matter, clearly felt that the bronze giant coffin had undergone a great collision.

However, at this moment, within the dark bronze coffin, the bronze carvings emitted faint glimmers, instantly neutralizing an unimaginable impact.

The crowd was puzzled. They had just felt that the world was about to turn upside down, but it suddenly became calm in an instant, giving rise to a strange illusion.

"No, there was indeed a terrible impact just now, why did it suddenly stop?"

"It's not an illusion. The bronze coffin did undergo a violent collision and overturned several times, but we were not affected."

At this moment, the crowd was surprised to find that the small bronze coffin containing the remains was hanging on the side wall of the coffin, firmly fixed there and not falling down.

"Now that the bronze coffin has overturned, the small coffin containing the remains must be firmly cast at the bottom of the large coffin and cannot be moved at all. Therefore, when the coffin is overturned and tilted, it looks like it is hanging on the side wall."

It can be imagined how huge the terrifying impact just now was, but it was dissolved by the faint glimmers emitted by the bronze carvings, making people feel incredible.

"Light, the light coming in from outside!" Li Xiaoman exclaimed.

Everyone turned their heads to the direction where Li Xiaoman was looking, and indeed there were faint rays of light coming in.

"The bronze coffin has overturned, the lid is tilted, and a gap has opened up. We have finally escaped!"

The bronze coffin lid had deviated from its original position, and the gap was large enough for two people to walk out side by side, but it was dim outside, so the light entering the bronze coffin was not very noticeable.

The crowd cheered and rushed forward, eager to escape this dark and terrifying space, not wanting to stay for even a second longer.

However, when they rushed out of the bronze coffin, they were all stunned.

The ground seemed to have been stained with blood, presenting a reddish-brown color that was cold, hard, and desolate. In their eyes, there was nothing but barrenness and vastness, and scattered giant rocks stood on the ground like tombstones.

The light was dim and gloomy, shrouded in a faint black mist that felt like a lifeless twilight.

The people were stunned, this couldn't be the summit of Mount Tai!

The vast expanse of red-brown land was remote and lifeless, with no sign of any life, and it was completely unfamiliar and mysterious.

Never seen before, never heard of before, it was completely an unfamiliar and mysterious place!

"Where is this... have we left Mount Tai?" The person speaking was trembling.

"Did the rescue team isolate us in a no man's land, afraid of any danger from the nine dragon corpses?" The student who spoke these words found it hard to convince even himself.

A sense of unease rose in everyone's hearts, as if something extremely ominous had happened to them. At this moment, many people tried to make a phone call with their mobile phones, but it was impossible to get through, as there was no signal.

"Where are we? This is not Mount Tai," many people showed a panicked expression, with no joy after escaping from the bronze coffin, only fear.

In just fifteen minutes, from being trapped in the bronze coffin to walking out, the scene before their eyes had completely changed, the majestic and towering Mount Tai, with its vast mountains and breathtaking scenery, had disappeared, and in front of them was an endless desert covered with gravel and hills.

Ye Fan looked at everything quietly, his ominous premonition had indeed come true, when he saw the Tai Chi Bagua diagram condense into a dark and massive passage from the top of Mount Tai, he had a bad feeling. Although he didn't see the nine dragon coffins enter the passage that led to the unknown territory, at this moment, he didn't need to think too much, what he saw in front of him was enough to explain everything, they were not on Mount Tai, and perhaps not even on Earth.
