Corpse Recovery Diver

Tan Wenbin: "We just need to clean up the mess."

Lin Shuyou: "But won't tourists feel this place is gloomy? After all, so many people have died here."

Tan Wenbin: "Aren't the tomb scenic spots crowded with tourists during holidays?"

Lin Shuyou: "That makes sense."

The road beneath their feet grew wider as they walked, and a relatively flat area appeared ahead.

On the platform, there were twelve grooves, in which eleven stone coffins were embedded.

The shape of these stone coffins was identical to the one where the noblewoman killed at the construction site had lain during the day.

Li Zhiyuan had initially suspected that the noblewoman had been excavated by the Old Transgender from a nearby ancient tomb, but now it seemed he was wrong. The noblewoman was originally the "funeral accompaniment" of the Old Transgender.

The Holy Maiden is essentially a professional title within a belief system.

Historically, some Holy Maidens became the central belief of a large region, while others were perhaps only revered by their small village.

The predecessor of the Old Transgender should have been a high-status Holy Maiden; otherwise, the burial items wouldn't be so extravagant.

However, out of the remaining eleven coffins, nine have been opened, leaving them empty inside.

The two unopened coffins were also chained up.

The nine empty coffins were likely cleared out by Dragon King Zhao when he visited here.

Li Zhiyuan noticed that the chains binding the coffin were corroded and had lost their original effectiveness.

The young man pointed at them with his hand, and his companions understood, gradually approaching the two coffins.

When Dragon King came, he arrived gracefully, suppressed everything, and then left in style.

That's the demeanor of a Dragon King.

They are far from Dragon King level now; a small team operates in its own way.

If the threat is too great, they can avoid it and only complete the main task. If the danger is controllable, they'd prefer to spend more time defusing these two bombs in advance.

To avoid unexpected twists on their way out afterward.

However, at that moment, a heartrending scream suddenly echoed from deep within, followed by a second, third...

Tan Wenbin: "Damn, is she going into labor?"

Yin Meng: "Isn't it written on the Dragon King's stele that she performs a blood sacrifice during labor?"

Lin Shuyou: "Right, hasn't the massacre begun yet?"

Run Sheng: "Premature birth."

Accompanied by the screams, the chains on the two coffins fell off, and the coffin lids were lifted.

Inside, two female corpses stood upright. Their skin once seemed fair, indicative of noble status, but quickly turned grayish blue, with black mist swirling around eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, while viscous, foul-smelling liquid seeped out.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

The two corpses leapt out of the coffins, yet did not attack, but instead tip-toed toward the entrance, seemingly to guard it.

The screaming continued.

Li Zhiyuan faced two choices.

He could proceed steadily, overcoming obstacles one step at a time.

Or he could bypass the obstacles most cost-effectively and rush into the core area, the "delivery room," at full speed.

It could be a trap or an opportunity.

Yet, thinking in reverse made the choice easier.

Historically, when the Old Transgender last went into labor, it required Dragon King to personally intervene. Dragon King Zhao personally slew the Divination Child.

Thus, the threat of the Divination Child was considered greater than the mother, the Old Transgender.

Even if it's a trap, it's nothing more than a divide-and-conquer strategy, and the risk is bearable.

Li Zhiyuan made up his mind and spoke:

"Lin Shuyou."

"Present!"

"Hold them off."

"Understood!"

Lin Shuyou first patted the talisman needle in his backpack, a psychological cue for himself, and a clear signal to the child about to descend.

Daytime was just a warm-up; the real task starts now.

Lin Shuyou opened his left hand, clenched his right fist, stomped one leg on the ground, activating the vertical pupil, and the White Crane Child descended!

Upon descending, the child didn't speak, executed his Three-step Praise, shifted his form, and quickly approached a corpse, grabbing its clothes and pulling it back.

Simultaneously, his right hand reached out, conjured an invisible vortex in his palm, forcefully dragging another corpse, forcing it to follow his steps.

Even among the official general lineage's old divination child, sightings of the Lord of Yin using skill are rare, leading to a prevailing belief that official generals only engaged in close combat against Evil.

In truth, they could use skills, but it consumed their own power, which they were reluctant to expend.

But now, the child was unhesitant.

He likely harbored personal thoughts, but had to face reality.

Rather than being subjected to the teenager's whims, the child couldn't bear to have his divination child replaced for poor performance despite enduring immense compromise.

On the night of the third day of the New Year, the scene where Lin Shuyou touched the statue of Zeng and Sun agitated the child deeply.

The child showcased his prowess, forcefully separating the two corpses, clearing the path.

Li Zhiyuan climbed onto Run Sheng's back once more, waved his hand, and the others rushed inside.

The two corpses were at the same level as the noblewoman encountered during the day, not formidable but difficult to kill; at this point, they weren't worth spending much time on.

Beyond the platform lay a viscous pond.
