Chapter 1564: Chapter 1400: Opening the Coffin

"Open the coffin!"

Su Ran couldn’t contain the excitement in his heart any longer, and reached out for the lock chain. Following standard procedure, one must pull the lock chain apart first before there’s any hope of opening the coffin.

However.

The moment Su Ran’s skeletal claw touched the lock chain, something unexpected occurred.

"Zzzt~!"

An electric current suddenly burst from the lock chain, traveling up his skeletal claw and through his entire body. The loud crackling noise startled Su Ran so much that he nearly passed out from being electrocuted, with smoke virtually coming out of his orifices.

"Holy heck, this lock chain is electrified!"

Su Ran was taken aback; he had never expected the lock chain to harbor such danger. It was fortunate that he had no flesh on his bones, otherwise he would have been scorched...

He quickly scrambled a few steps backward and, once he felt that the electric current was no longer a threat, he took out a handful of grave grass to hurriedly replenish his blood.

Luckily.

This lock chain did not seem intent on utterly annihilating Su Ran. The electric current lurked within the chain, and had Su Ran not experienced it himself, he would never have believed that the chain could be offensive. The hide-and-seek nature of this device was too profound!

However, when it came to electric attacks, Su Ran had his doubts. He wasn’t sure if the Heavenly Thunder Bead would be effective or not. He remembered clearly that the Heavenly Thunder Bead only shielded against lightning attacks, and it was uncertain whether the electricity in the lock chain originated from heavenly thunder...

Back when he was adventuring at the Cloud Summit Thunder Pond, Su Ran had taken the Heavenly Thunder Bead from the Guardian Thunder Tower. He had not had the time to return it, and now it came in handy, proving to be an unexpected fit for the situation.

Thinking of this, Su Ran took out the Heavenly Thunder Bead and, undeterred, reached for the lock chain once again.

Thankfully, the Heavenly Thunder Bead did not disappoint him. The electric current hidden in the chain seemed to vanish like a mouse that had spotted a cat, without even a trace, let alone attacking Su Ran.

With the electric current no longer a threat, the lock chain was reduced to mere decoration. After much effort, equivalent to the strength of nine bulls and two tigers, Su Ran finally managed to remove the chain and revealed the true form of the coffin.

Subconsciously, Su Ran tried to stuff the lock chain into his crotch area, but it was to no avail, as it didn’t fit in at all. He gave up this impractical idea, focusing all his attention on the mysterious coffin instead.

"Whew, the super jackpot is finally about to be unlocked!"

How could he not understand? This was the most thrilling moment. After all, what was contained inside was none other than the legendary Fire God!

"Creak~~~"

As he continued to exert force with his bony finger, the coffin made a strange noise, ratcheting Su Ran’s tension to the ultimate level. But this was a necessary part of the script he must go through. He possessed the Ball of Fire Source, and as the chosen one, he presumed that the Fire God wouldn’t smack him down instantly upon opening; this was without doubt.

"Crack."

With a crisp sound, the coffin lid was pried open by Su Ran, revealing the sight within.

"Oh come on, what’s all this about?"

Su Ran was surprised to find that the contents of the coffin deviated greatly from his expectations. Not to mention the Fire God, there wasn’t even a skeleton to be found. There was only a dark brown heart lying in the corner of the coffin. On its surface was an intricate lock chain pattern, which looked rather unique.

What astonished Su Ran even more was that this heart was still faintly beating—this was beyond the realms of science.

"Fire God Heart?"

Su Ran spoke to himself with uncertainty. Apart from the heart of the Fire God, he really couldn’t guess whose heart could be so formidable.

Just as he was lost in his wild thoughts, the system notification finally sounded, acting like a guiding light and saving him from taking any detours.

"Ding! The Fire God Trial has officially begun. Use the Heart and Soul Key to unlock the Heart and Soul seal. Mission hint: Trigger all the mechanisms in the secret passage, and the Heart and Soul Key will appear."

"Uh, trigger all mechanisms? Isn’t this setting a bit too harsh?!"

Recalling Old Man Fan’s disheveled appearance, if it were him, how anxious would he have to be?

Talking more is unnecessary, Su Ran could only turn around and leave the secret chamber, heading towards the secret passage.

Unexpectedly, before he had gone far, a lustrous key was floating midair, extremely conspicuous. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

"What the heck, is the task already complete?"

Su Ran looked at the key with a strange expression, realizing that Old Man Fan’s constant triggering of traps had a deeper purpose, and that he himself was unaware. He now understood that Old Man Fan had been silently helping him, sacrificing the individual for the greater good, and without seeking any reward...

Such a good person!

Su Ran was immensely touched, he didn’t let Old Man Fan’s kindness go to waste, and directly grabbed the Heart and Soul Key in his hand, going back to complete the mission.

Arriving next to the coffin, Su Ran directly stabbed the Heart and Soul Key into the heart, and instantly, a sudden change occurred.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"

Three consecutive blades of wind shot out from within the heart, directly severing the chains engraved on the surface.

This unexpected situation gave Su Ran a fright; he would have never thought that the heart could launch an attack, quickly retracting his hand and stepping back repeatedly to avoid getting caught in it.

After the chains suffered destruction, the pattern gradually faded and soon disappeared from the surface.

With the chains’ restraint gone, the heart’s pulsation visibly quickened, slowly hovering in the air and radiating a red light from its surface, giving it an illusion of sanctity.

"Ding! Fire God Trial’s second stage, collect the Fire God’s body and use the restoration liquid for casting."

After hearing the system notification, Su Ran’s face showed an ’as expected’ expression.

Just as he anticipated, the skeletons that had just been excavated must be the so-called Fire God’s body. As for why they weren’t properly staying inside the coffin, he couldn’t concern himself with that; probably even the Fire God did not know why, assuming it was a sleepwalk.

However, actually using the restoration liquid here was quite unexpected for Su Ran, complicating Uncle Yu’s task within the territory and adding another worry to his mind, which was quite a headache.

Since all the materials and items required for the mission were ready, Su Ran did not hesitate anymore and threw all the skeletal parts towards the heart.

"Boom! Boom!"

The heart emitted a strong drumming sound, numerous bloodstreams shot out precisely wrapping the skeletal parts inside, forming connections through the blood under Su Ran’s intense observation. The skeletons autonomously assembled into a framework, the heart returning to its place, beating even faster now.

Unfortunately, even though the skeleton appeared complete, one could tell from its hollow gaze that the Fire God had not fully recovered— the spirit had not yet returned. Even if the heart beat vigorously, it couldn’t awaken the Fire God from its slumber.

Without a doubt, it was time for the restoration liquid to make its mark.

With the guidance from the system, Su Ran didn’t need to ponder anymore, directly took out the bottle of restoration liquid, and threw it hard at the skeleton.
