All nine empresses betrayed me, why am I crying after being reborn as a saint?

At the same time, Chen Yuan felt that the tight silver wire mechanism in the gap of the door lintel began to loosen slowly, and finally stopped working completely.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan also took the opportunity to collect his spiritual power, "Well, I have also broken the silver wire gap mechanism at the door, let's go in."

Chen Yuan and the other two finally stepped into the legendary ninth gate.

When Chen Yuan, the fat monk and the thin Taoist priest walked through the door, they immediately smelled a rotten odor.

"It's too dark in here, light the torch."

Since they couldn't see clearly what was inside, Chen Yuan and his two companions each held a torch and walked slowly forward.

In a dark and solemn space, an ancient coffin is placed in the center, covered with years of dust and moss, with faintly visible intricate carvings on it.

The lid of the coffin was half open, revealing a slight smell of decay.

"Wow, there's actually a coffin in here. It looks a bit creepy."

Chen Yuan slowly approached with a torch, his heart beating faster.

"Yes, this is probably where the owner of the ancient mausoleum is buried."

"Well, the air in here still feels a bit pungent, with a faint smell of decay."

The fat monk and the thin Taoist priest have been digging graves for a long time and are no longer surprised to see coffins.

Chen Yuan saw a few lamps on the edge of the wall, and instantly lit them with the torch in his hand, making the entire room no longer dim and having some light.

"Now that we are here, let's open it and take a look."

The fat monk stood around the coffin, holding a torch in his left hand and slowly extending his right hand.

My fingertips lightly touched the cold surface of the coffin, and an indescribable chill instantly spread through my fingertips to my whole body.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan and the thin Taoist priest also focused the light of their torches on the place where the fat monk touched.

The fat monk took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil, and then groped along the edge of the coffin more carefully.

"No, there seems to be something in here?"

At this moment, the fat monk's fingers suddenly felt an unusual touch - it was something soft and moist, yet a bit hard and cold.

He suddenly retracted his hand, and Chen Yuan and the thin Taoist priest immediately focused the flames of the torches on that position.

Several tiny figures were vaguely seen wriggling in the cracks of the coffin.

They either survived due to the special environment in the tomb, or they have already become strange immortal beings.

The fat monk was frightened by the touch of the edge of the coffin just now. He was sweating profusely and said with a little annoyance.

"Damn, there are bugs here, and these bugs look so weird."

The thin Taoist priest was also a little confused when he saw this.

These bugs come in various shapes.

Some are as thin as threads, completely black, and almost blend into the surrounding air.

Some were covered in colorful shells that flickered eerily under the dim torches.

They seemed to sense the intrusion of outsiders and began to wriggle more frequently, and some even tried to attack the fat monk's fingers.

"We haven't completely opened the coffin yet, but we found bugs inside the tiny gap that was left open. We estimate there may be even more bugs inside the coffin."

"And you can see the shapes of these insects. Some are pitch black, and some are colorful. This shows that there are many types of insects, and they are basically poisonous. We must not get bitten by them."

Seeing this, Chen Yuan analyzed calmly.

"What I hate most in my life is these bugs. I didn't expect there are so many bugs here. Skinny Taoist, quickly take out the Hundred Insects Powder you bought on the black market."

Upon hearing this, the fat monk and the thin Taoist priest quickly stepped back a few steps, keeping a safe distance from the coffin.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the room behind the ninth door became more tense and depressing, as if even the air had solidified.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan knew that these seemingly inconspicuous insects might be one of the most dangerous guardians in the coffin.

They must deal with these annoying bugs before they can continue to explore this ancient and mysterious tomb.

The thin Taoist priest was looking for something in his storage space and quickly replied to Chen Yuan.

"Don't worry, I'm looking for the white worm powder I bought on the black market."

The thin Taoist priest took out an inconspicuous bottle and sprayed it back at some insects that ran out of the gap. In an instant, the crawling of these insects became very slow.

Chen Yuan praised. "Oh, this Hundred Insects Powder is pretty good."

The thin Taoist priest said proudly.

"Of course, this is the Hundred Insects Powder that I bought with ten spirit stones. It can disperse or kill all kinds of insects."

With the pungent smell of drugs filling the room, the insects in the coffins moved even more excitedly.

Dense swarms of insects began to crawl out of the coffin, flew up, and continued to attack Chen Yuan, the fat monk and the thin Taoist priest.

"No way, let's be alert to these flying insects."

The fat monk felt a bit of a headache and immediately summoned a spiritual shield to resist the invasion of these little bugs towards the three of them.

But the insects were so dense that the spiritual shield summoned by the fat monk could not hold out for long.

Seeing this, the thin Taoist priest continued to attack these flying insects with Hundred Insect Powder and said hurriedly.

"These bugs may be unique organisms in coffins. After a long period of confinement and evolution, they may have adapted to the underground environment and developed unique survival skills, such as flight and aggressiveness."

Faced with the sudden emergence of a group of flying poisonous insects, Chen Yuan quickly took out a smoke bomb from his storage bracelet.

Chen Yuan knew very well that in this situation, it would not work to drive them away or attack them directly with his hands, because these insects were numerous and flew very fast, and could easily cause harm.

So he decisively pressed the switch of the smoke bomb, and a thick smoke immediately filled the entire tomb.

The smoke not only obscures the insects' vision, but also makes them lose their sense of direction, making their flight chaotic and disorderly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Yuan immediately cast the Sky-Burning Blood Curse, and waves of blood mist accompanied by the smell of smoke bombs enveloped the group of insects.

What's more, there was a thin Taoist priest on the side who continued to spray Hundred Insect Powder at these flying poisonous insects.

The double attack of the Burning Sky Blood Curse and the Hundred Insects Powder had a strong stimulating effect on the insects, causing them to fall to the ground one after another and lose the ability to fly.

Some tenacious insects tried to flap their wings and fly again, but under the continuous attack of insect repellents, they could only struggle helplessly in the end.

"Ah, we finally got these flying bugs under control."

The fat monk said with lingering fear.

"Yes, you are worthy of being Chen Yuan. With this move, you have subdued all these poisonous insects."

The thin Taoist priest praised Chen Yuan.

"Oh no, no, without your help, I would not be able to catch these bugs by myself."

Chen Yuan said modestly.

Then his eyes fell on the coffin in the ninth door, and he said quickly, "Let's open this coffin and take a look."
