100: Chapter 100 The Long Sleeping Palace 27

"What do you see?" The Man in Black Turtleneck could not see, but he could feel the Man in the Suit beside him gasp, so he could not help but ask with a frown.

"...A coffin, extremely huge. Visually, it is about three to four meters long. It seems the owner of this Underground Palace of Eternal Sleep is lying inside."

The Man in Black Turtleneck frowned, lost in thought. Normally, the size of a coffin is custom-made based on factors like the tomb owner's height and weight. This coffin is so big... what kind of monster is inside?

He did not reveal what he knew, just continued to ask, "Is that it? Is there only one coffin here?"

"There is also a fairly wide waterway circling the coffin, likely to prevent tomb raiding. There is some gold and silver around, but other than that... there really is nothing else in this Secret Room," said the Man in the Suit standing to the side.

In the surrounding corners, there were many stacked crates and scattered jewelry, gold, and silver. However, as players, although these treasures looked priceless, they were actually useless. They could not be spent, could not be taken away, and were no different from stones. Thus, neither of them paid any attention; no player would care about these things.

Luo Yuejian did pay attention.

This game was so realistic in every aspect that it felt like the real world; this gold was actual, genuine gold and silver! Who would not be envious seeing this?

Now Luo Yuejian finally understood; the dome constructed of night-luminescent pearls outside was nothing compared to the treasures stored in this Secret Room.

A tomb raider's delight...

Although it is true that gold and jewelry in games cannot be taken with you in life or death, there is nothing wrong with her just feasting her eyes on them, right?

As mentioned before, when people are not specifically paying attention to Luo Yuejian, her presence is very weak.

Previously, the Man in the Suit and the Man in Black Turtleneck had been keeping a constant watch on Luo Yuejian out of vigilance. Now that they had encountered a new dilemma, their attention was temporarily diverted.

The Man in Black Turtleneck kept his eyes closed, the bloodstains on his face wiped away by his black sweater, so he did not look as disheveled as before.

He mused, "It seems we have to go to that coffin to take a look; perhaps the thousand-leaf lotus is inside that coffin."

In this Secret Room, the most eye-catching thing was undoubtedly that coffin. However, wanting to get across, the three-meter-wide waterway in the middle was still a tricky problem.

It was not that they could not swim across or anything, it was just that everyone was very clear that there must be danger in this waterway. After all, it served as a barrier protecting the coffin in the middle; it would be hell if it did not have some kind of threat.

The water in this channel looked somewhat murky, as if it were a pool of stagnant water, completely impossible to see the bottom, let alone estimate its depth. Under such circumstances, they could not take the risk.

The Man in the Suit nodded, casually picked up a pearl about two centimeters in diameter from the ground nearby, and threw it into the river.

With a "splash," the pearl entered the water; other than splashing up a bit of water, there were no other changes.

"It seems there are no living creatures," the Man in the Suit analyzed calmly. "If there are no living creatures, it is much easier to handle. We just need to ensure we do not touch the water surface, and we should not encounter any danger."

A waterway over three meters wide; trying to leap across it was almost impossible. Therefore, they still needed to find another way...

As the Man in the Suit thought this, his gaze slowly swept across the Secret Room, and suddenly, his vision locked onto a certain spot.

Luo Yuejian was holding a wooden box, not sure what she was doing.

A wooden box?

The Man in the Suit's eyes suddenly lit up.

That is right! A wooden box! As everyone knows, the density of most wood is lower than water, which means they can easily float on the water surface.

If they put the wooden box on the water, would it not be equivalent to a stepping stone, making it easy to cross the water?

The Man in the Suit's gasp of surprise was caught by the Man in Black Turtleneck. He frowned, "What happened?"

"She found a wooden box," the Man in the Suit sighed.

The Man in Black Turtleneck immediately understood the purpose of this wooden box. Obviously, while they were still observing the waterway and struggling with how to cross, Luo Yuejian had already found a way to get across.

Both of their moods became somewhat heavy.

Although they had long known that Luo Yuejian was very strong, being outdone by her every time was indeed an unpleasant feeling.

Moreover, both of them harbored hostility toward Luo Yuejian, and seeing their enemy be so powerful naturally made them feel even more uneasy.

"She is truly amazing," the Man in Black Turtleneck sighed softly, his words revealing his wariness of Luo Yuejian.

As if realizing something, the Man in the Suit narrowed his eyes slightly, his hand seemingly inadvertently touching the hand of the Man in Black Turtleneck, and then he quickly traced a few strokes in the other person's palm with his finger.

The Man in Black Turtleneck nodded almost imperceptibly.

At this moment, the audience in the livestream room:

[Holy crap, what do these two guys want to do?]

[They seem to have ill intentions... I felt there was something wrong with these two guys before, they look shifty.]

[Are they trying to make a move on Goddess Yue? My god, Goddess Yue seems completely unaware of them; she would not fall into a trap, would she?]

[Hahahaha, Goddess Yue has screwed them over so many times, if I were them, I would definitely hold a grudge too.]

[A bit worried, but not that worried. With Goddess Yue's strength, I feel like whatever those two jerks do will not affect her.]

[Come on, brother, is a sneak attack from behind the same as a frontal attack? What if Goddess Yue is really caught off guard and gets hit?]

[What can you do? Can you warn her? Heh, just wait and see the result; I think these two guys are about to make a move.]

[Waiting to see Goddess Yue counter-kill them on the spot~]

Luo Yuejian completely failed to notice the silent exchange between the two people behind her; she was currently staring at the wooden box. She now understood why some people would buy the casket and return the pearl. The patterns carved on this treasure chest were practically works of art! More importantly, it was also inlaid with quite a few gemstones.

Among them, there was one gemstone almost half the size of her palm, with a surface so smooth it was like a small mirror.

Want to pry it off...

Action speaks louder than words! Just as Luo Yuejian put the pried-off gemstone into her pocket, the admiring voice of the Man in the Suit rang out from behind her: "You are truly amazing, to be able to think of using a wooden box to cross the river so quickly."

Luo Yuejian: ?

What wooden box? What crossing the river?
