Chapter 1154: Chapter 884, General's Tomb_2 Chapter 1154: Chapter 884, General's Tomb_2 Three Iron Puppets were in combat; one of them was already shattered, and the remaining two were being suppressed by the skeleton attendants.
The middle-aged Steward waved his hand and led his people to launch directly into the fray, accelerating the clearing of targets.
After all, it was still unclear whether the owner of the ship was still alive.
On board the Association's ship.
Wu Heng's gaze was fixed on the derelict ship, covered in holes and dark green moss.
There were no pop-ups or descriptions!
Is this ship not a Special Item?
I thought it would be a Special Item as unique as the Phantom Train.
But now it seems that the special effects are not coming from this ship.
“Wu Heng, there is a coffin inside, and there are other buried goods like objects in the other cabins,” Glenda flew back and directly reported.
Xiao Xiao expressed surprise, “So it is indeed a grave. Auntie, is it the Pirate King's tomb?”
Glenda showed a hint of surprise and replied, “It is possible it's the Pirate King's; he fits the idea of using a ship as his final resting place. Xiao Xiao, you're quite clever.”
Xiao Xiao felt a bit embarrassed and said, “It wasn't me who thought of it, it was those Association members who analyzed it just now.”
Wu Heng followed up with an explanation, “The sailors just fished out a flag from the sea, which contained clues left by the mercenary group, suggesting that this ship is a graveyard.”
“Oh!” Glenda nodded, then added, “The Stone Coffin is opened, and it's filled with many filthy things.”
“Opened? Are there any bodies inside?” Wu Heng asked.
“There are some remnants of bodies inside, not sure if they belong to the original owner of the coffin!” Glenda answered.
Wu Heng nodded, “Let me have a look!”
Glenda dove into her body, and the scene inside the ship was shared.
In the central district of the ship, it was constructed like a building, the eaves and the pillars, as much as possible, mimicked the feeling of a normal house.
Glenda's perspective began to move, passing through several cabins.
Inside the cabins, the furniture was rotten, and the mud and debris on the floor were mixed together, with only the exposed edges of some objects distinguishable as supposed burial goods.
Then, she passed straight through walls to enter the ship's main tomb chamber.
A Stone Coffin was placed central to the room.
Upon seeing the Stone Coffin, even Glenda seemed somewhat surprised, hesitating for several seconds before approaching and flying over.
The lid of the coffin was positioned about a meter away from the coffin, and the coffin was filled with a lot of turbid material.
Upon closer inspection, you could see black substances and some fragments of bones.
Then, Glenda circled around once more before flying back.
After viewing the shared images, Wu Heng released Glenda.
“What do you think caused the coffin lid to open?” Glenda inquired.
“We can't be certain yet, will have a look when we go in,” Wu Heng said.
There are only two possibilities: the tomb's owner opened it from inside or someone went in and opened the coffin lid.
The information left by the mercenary group mentioned the graveyard; there's a chance they found some way to bypass the puppets and opened the coffin.
“Island Lord Wu Heng, the battle is over,” a Captain called out after observing the scene.
“Mhm,” Wu Heng nodded and walked straight onto the ghost ship.
The skeleton 'Shanshan' flapped its wings and flew over, while several members of the Alliance were inspecting the puppets on the ground in the distance.
The middle-aged Steward led his team towards Wu Heng as he boarded the ship.
“We've never seen this type of Iron Puppet before; they're not fashioned by the Alliance or any mainstream puppet makers,” he said.
Wu Heng didn't understand much about this, as the Iron Puppet he exchanged for merit before was handed over to Andre Willow and he'd never observed it.
“Let's go. We'll study these puppets when we get back,” Wu Heng suggested.
“Okay!” The Steward nodded, then turned to give orders, “Some of you stay outside to guard the ship, the rest come with me inside.”
“Yes!” The group answered.
Being led by Wu Heng made the journey much less stressful for everyone.
With the deck in such a state after battle, if there were still dangers inside, they were likely to have already emerged.
What remained was to inspect the ship and investigate.
Originally expecting to lose half of their manpower in this exploration task, such ease of completion left the others quite delighted.
Moreover, there would definitely be significant merit awarded once they returned.
Everyone responded vigorously, moving according to orders.
Wu Heng, accompanied by two skeletons and several members of the Alliance, ventured into the cabin.
The creaking sounds came from underneath their feet; the three-meter-high corridor was decaying, damp, dripping water from above.
Wu Heng led several people all the way to the main chamber.
The middle-aged Steward took out two Illuminating Stone lanterns from the Space Ring and handed them to two association Captains behind him.
For illumination.
A few words were written on the door of the main chamber.
Open the door and die!
Previously, Glenda had entered directly through the wall, so hadn't noticed the words on this door.
This doesn't bode well!
“Open the door,” Wu Heng waved his hand.
The two Skeletons behind him stepped forward and forcefully pushed the door open.
Bang~!
The door fell inward as a whole, smashing onto the ground.
Entering the tomb chamber, a tall platform stood in the center, on which lay the Stone Coffin Glenda had seen.
The entire platform and Stone Coffin were connected as one, as if they had been carved from one complete piece of stone into their current shape.
The people from the Alliance tensed up again, the middle-aged Steward seemed to want to say something several times.
But all his words were held back.
Following in Wu Heng's footsteps, they climbed the stone steps approaching the Stone Coffin.
Wu Heng cast a [Dance Light Skill] above the Stone Coffin, and four balls of light orbited overhead, illuminating the surroundings brightly.
The scene inside the Stone Coffin was exactly the same as before.
The Coffin lid was placed to the side, murky inside.
The middle-aged Steward looked at the opened Stone Coffin with a solemn and wary gaze, speaking, “Has the person inside the Coffin come out?”
The moment these words were spoken, the people behind immediately tensed up.
If the master of the tomb had become an undead, it would likely be far more dangerous than the puppets outside.
Wu Heng said, “Not found on the ship; if it really came out, then it has left this ship.”
The people from the Alliance completely trusted Wu Heng now, but the departure of the tomb's owner was still a significant matter.
They said, “If he's come out, it's not a small matter. We must immediately report back to headquarters for a thorough investigation.”
“Let's check it out first,” Wu Heng spoke, then turned to his rear and said, “Dig around, see if there's anything inside.”
Skeleton Shanshan extended its arm and scooped around in the murky sludge.
Some broken bones and pieces of Armor were pulled out and tossed on the ground, and a stone tablet covered in text was also retrieved.
Wu Heng took out a bottle of water, the people from the Alliance immediately responded, stepping forward to rinse the stone tablet.
The text on the stone tablet gradually became clear.
Wu Heng examined the text closely; the writing on the stone tablet appeared to belong to the ancient text of this world.
But in his eyes, it had already been translated.
It described how a Princess, for bewitching the king and inciting public rage, was beheaded directly.
The tomb's owner had been ordered to escort the Princess's corpse back to her homeland to arrange her final affairs with full honors.
After numerous hardships, he finally reached the Princess's homeland and on returning to his own–
He found that the dynasty had changed, with no hope for salvation of the Kingdom, and with no place left to call home, he built a burial chamber on this ship and eternally rested here.
The translation of the text might not be complete.
But essentially, this was the gist of it.
Seeing Wu Heng reading seriously, the middle-aged Steward curiously asked, “Island Lord Wu Heng, what does it say on there?”
Wu Heng looked up and repeated the content for them.
Not only to these people, but the three invisible Ghosts were also listening intently.
The middle-aged Steward said with a smile, “Island Lord Wu Heng can actually understand these characters.”
“I have some understanding from being at the Hongwen Alliance,” Wu Heng said, continuing, “The stone tablet does not mention the tomb owner's name, but he could have been a Captain from some Kingdom, his level likely wasn't very high.”
By not high, he certainly meant he hadn't reached Level 20.
Otherwise, he wouldn't still refer to himself as a Captain.
“Yes, you're probably right.”
Through this stone tablet, it can be confirmed that the person isn't a Pirate King, and if his level isn't high, then even if he's transformed into a Corpse Ghost or a Ghost, the danger wouldn't be so great.
It could be somewhat safer.
Tap tap tap~!
At this moment, footsteps came from behind.
Everyone's attention turned, cautious, only to see the two who were guarding outside walking in.
“What's happening?” The Steward asked in a stern voice.
One person said: “Steward, a corpse has been found on the ship, belonging to a Dwarf.”
