Chapter 88 I heard? Empty Fox: Master, you're amazing!

Bang!

The coffin lid slammed shut heavily.

It felt as if the entire world had plunged into an endless, murky darkness.

Inside the coffin, everything suddenly became pitch black.

Thump-thump~ Thump-thump~

At that moment, everyone's hearts were pounding wildly and frantically.

[Holy crap! What the hell was that just now?!]

[Damn, that's terrifying! I'm spooked!]

[Oh my god, encountering a ghost so soon...]

[Brother Lu, I've decided to go steal the most effective divine statue from the temple and send it to you! Meow it, it actually scared me! I'm summoning a god to kill the ghost!]

The bullet chat froze for an instant.

Then, countless bullet chat messages flooded the screen.

The number of Lu Xian's Myriad Heavens Express deliveries surged as if in a stress response, rapidly rising to three million, four million...

Violent growth.

Suddenly.

Step~

Step, step~

The crisp sound of footsteps rang out again!

However, the footsteps seemed to be circling around the coffin where Lu Xian was located.

The sound surrounded him, clear and audible, as if right beside him; anyone hearing it would feel their heart palpitate and tremble.

Lying in the coffin, Lu Xian felt the temperature inside constantly dropping.

Everything inside the coffin became bone-chillingly cold.

He touched his eyes and felt something foreign.

With this touch, he discovered that his eyelashes had actually frosted over!

Supernatural intrusion!

"Is it really this terrifying?!"

Lu Xian was horrified.

"What should I do??"

Should he use the Empty Fox's innate talent to teleport away from this place?

But he had just arrived and didn't understand the situation outside.

He only knew that the outside had turned into a horror city, which meant there were anomalies everywhere!

"I'll hold on for a bit. If I'm about to reach my limit, then I'll choose to escape!"

Lu Xian calmed down and made a silent decision.

The Empty Fox also had a [Death Substitute] talent.

When death descended, the substitute would activate, shedding some fur to die in his place.

The cooldown was 24 hours!

An extremely powerful talent!

And as its master, Lu Xian could share its extraordinary talent abilities.

If things really went south, he would choose to teleport directly.

One teleportation cost 20 points of Stamina and soul points, allowing him to teleport to any location within a 500-meter radius, with a 5-minute cooldown.

But who could be sure if, after teleporting away, he wouldn't just be jumping from the frying pan into the fire?

Right now, Lu Xian only felt cold, which indicated a supernatural intrusion.

Based on those terrifying, spine-chilling eyes he saw earlier, a ghost must be outside the coffin.

But that ghost didn't lift the coffin lid.

Coupled with the bloodstain hint from before.

Lu Xian made a bold guess that it was highly likely that lying inside the coffin was relatively safe, and the ghost could not actively open it.

Within the rules, it was relatively safe!

Sure enough.

After waiting for about ten minutes.

The chill dissipated, and a faint light reappeared inside the coffin.

He heard the footsteps receding.

He also heard the sharp creak of a door, followed by a heavy bang.

The door seemed to have closed.

Lu Xian waited for a few more minutes.

It was silent outside.

The livestream room bullet chat urged:

[Brother Lu, go out and take a look?]

[Be a real man, don't wimp out!]

[Don't look, I'm scared...]

[Open the coffin, open the coffin! I want to see that mere C-rank little ghost with my own eyes /ヽ(ー_ー)ノ.]

Lu Xian muttered softly:

"What's the rush? We don't have anything to deal with it right now."

Be fierce when it's time to be fierce, but wimp out when it's time to wimp out.

"I can let the little fox scout the way first."

Lu Xian decided.

The Empty Fox was as cowardly as a dog; it had already retreated into the small pet space to hide.

[Eh? That works.]

[Better the pet dies than the master, that works, that works.]

[Little Fox: You guys are great, you guys are amazing. Master, you're more of a dog than a dog (▼dish▼#)!]

Lu Xian grabbed the Empty Fox out of the small pet space, propped open the coffin with his other hand, and then tossed it out in one go.

The whole process was crisp and efficient, without any hesitation.

The moment it was thrown out of the coffin, the Empty Fox floating in the air had a look of utter bewilderment.

Once it blinked away its daze, it hurriedly looked around at the empty hall and the row of deathly silent coffins.

It realized what was happening.

Its tricolored fur and three tails instantly stood on end!

"Ying ying ying~"

The Empty Fox cried out urgently, its four paws scratching wildly in mid-air before it lunged back at the coffin Lu Xian was in.

Its two small blue front paws tried desperately to pry open the coffin lid.

Unexpectedly, despite its small size, its strength was not small; it actually managed to flip the coffin lid open.

Turning into a streak of light, it instantly pounced onto Lu Xian and then vanished into the small pet space.

The entire process took less than five seconds.

The livestream room was stunned by this scene:

[Good heavens!]

[666, it's truly cowardly~]

[Brother Lu, this little fox of yours is so useless. Why not just roast it?]

Seeing this, Lu Xian also found it somewhat amusing.

It was a D-rank transcendent creature, after all!

Yet it was so timid!

But his attention had already shifted to the outside.

The coffin lid had been flipped open by the Empty Fox.

"We seem to be safe for now."

Lu Xian sat up, looked around vigilantly, and whispered.

The small test just now was worth it.

"Let's take this chance to open today's express deliveries first."

The livestream room currently had over nine million people online.

In the Myriad Heavens Express, the number of ordinary deliveries had reached over seven million.

And for the five otherworldly channels, there were twelve items in the delivery state this time.

Everyone in the livestream room indicated it was fine.

"Express delivery cutoff. Today there are a total of 7,719,200 deliveries."

Based on the ratio of people online, ninety percent of the livestream viewers had participated in sending deliveries.

Lu Xian directly took out the Myriad Heavens Express Dice.

"The old rules go without saying. Let's roll!"

However.

Just as Lu Xian was about to throw the dice.

One of the coffins suddenly made a sound:

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

"Hmm?"

Lu Xian's movements froze.

[Whoa, what's the situation?!]

[It sounds like a sound came from inside one of the coffins??]

[Hiss... I thought all these coffins were empty...]

The people in the bullet chat were also dumbfounded.

Seeing this, Lu Xian didn't linger.

He put down the dice, picked up the coffin lid again, and lay back inside the coffin.

If he wasn't mistaken, the sound from the coffin should be some way of summoning a ghost?

Sure enough.

Just as Lu Xian returned to the coffin and lay down properly.

The door to the hall was opened again, and the rusted hinges made a piercing grinding sound:

Creak~

The sound of footsteps came again.

Two black shoes stepped on the dust-covered floor, making crisp click-clack sounds.

Then the footsteps passed by Lu Xian's coffin and stopped in front of the tenth coffin away.

With a thud.

It sounded as if a coffin lid had slammed onto the floor.

"Game time is over."

A raspy voice spoke.

"That was too terrifying."

Another voice came, sounding like a young man speaking in a tone of relief after a narrow escape.

"I'm not playing anymore. I'm going back."

Then another set of hurried footsteps headed toward the door, wanting to leave this place.

Click~

At the same time, the sound of a coffin lid closing rang out.

That familiar crisp sound of footsteps followed closely behind.

Suddenly.

A horrifying scream rang out!

"Aaaaah!!"

"Ghost! Ghost!!"

"Let me go... let me go..."

"Hehe, I told you not to walk in front of me, otherwise I won't be able to resist eating you..."

Then Lu Xian vaguely heard some kind of chewing sound.

The terrifying screams lasted for a full three minutes before stopping abruptly.

The door banged shut once more.
