With his previous experience, Fade entered the tomb at a much faster pace.
He quickly passed through the passageways, went through the side tomb, and entered into the main tomb.
As soon as he stepped in, he saw the residual stinking black liquid on the ground. There were also signs of the wooden door and bricks being demolished. It seemed that it was caused by the emergence of the corpse.
Judging from the traces of the black slime, the corpse had probably crawled out from the main coffin.
Upon seeing this, he walked over to the main coffin and started to ponder. "Who is the owner of this tomb? Why did they have to mutate a decaying corpse like that," he thought to himself.
He slowed down and covered himself with a shroud of positive energy. He then carefully walked over to the main coffin.
When he arrived at the main coffin, the lid was already open. He looked inside and realized the coffin was dark and messy.
However, after taking a closer look, he saw something. There seemed to be some bones underneath the black gooey matter.
"What's going on? Did the corpse leave his skull here when it escaped?" Fade was puzzled. "That's impossible. The corpse I fought with had a skull."
"Could it be that there's more than one corpse inside the main coffin!" He gathered his positive energy as he thought of this. He peeled back the black matter and discovered an entire skeleton beneath it.
However, he quickly noticed that there were marks of chopping and heavy blows on it. From the marks on the skeleton, it wasn't left from when the deceased was alive. It was left on it when someone tried to beat the corpse.
"What's going on? He was puzzled for some time. "Someone tried to beat the owner of the coffin after he died? Could it be the doings of grave robbers?" He thought to himself.
However, he shook his head and overruled his guess when he saw the untouched burial objects.
Just as he was puzzled, his eyes suddenly lit up and his gaze fell on the position of the skull.
Inside the skull's mouth was a black plant.
"This is..." He bent down to take a look. He was suddenly extremely excited and overjoyed as he exclaimed softly, "Lunar Doria. It really is a Lunar
Poria."
The Lunar Poria was a very precious Yin herb. It had harsh living conditions so it was very rare and difficult to come across.
"I never thought that a Lunar Poria would grow here!" Fade was surprised as he thought to himself.
At that moment, he suddenly thought of something. He looked at the skeleton in the main coffin and his expression changed. "Even if the tomb was suitable for the Lunar Poria's growth, it wouldn't grow in a coffin under normal circumstances, let alone a corpse's mouth!" He thought to himself.
"Therefore, the Lunar Poria didn't grow naturally but was planted by someone."
As he thought of this, he remembered the Ice Lotus being planted in Quin's body. His expression suddenly grew cold.
He carefully plucked the Lunar Poria along with its roots and carefully examined it in his hand. The quality of the Lunar Poria was quite good. However, it wasn't growing well and needed further cultivation.
The mastermind had prepared everything beforehand. He buried the owner of the tomb and waited for the Lunar Poria to ripen.
However, he never would've guessed that something like this would happen in the tomb.
For some unknown reason, one of the four people buried with the tomb owner didn't die back then. Instead, he was buried alive in the tomb.
Therefore, when the tomb was sealed, the person who was still alive came out from the coffin and looked around for an exit. In the end, he must've failed.
With hatred in his heart, he came to the main coffin and opened the lid. He destroyed the coffin and even beat up the owner's corpse with vengeance.
That was the reason why there were marks on the tomb owner's coffin and bones.
Although he vented his anger, he couldn't escape his fate and was still trapped in the tomb.
However, his actions spoiled the once sealed main coffin and affected the growth of the Lunar Poria. At the same time, the Yin energy that was meant for the Lunar Poria entered the person that was buried with him.
As a result, that person mutated into that decaying corpse and evolved into that previous scene.
After straightening his thoughts, Fade returned to the main tomb and looked carefully at the layout of the chamber. He specifically looked under the main coffin.
Sure enough, he noticed that there was a formation in the main tomb to gather Yin energy under the coffin. It was used for the Lunar Poria's growth.
