Chapter 1348: Chapter 1348: Damn, Is This Thing Defying Heaven? (Third Update)
Seeing that most of the day’s time has been spent, Ye Haochuan’s heart grew increasingly anxious.
No matter how anxious he was, that small coffin showed no signs of moving, remaining incredibly hard and stubborn. No matter what methods he tried, he couldn’t open it even a bit.
Damn it, if I can’t open you, I’ll practice you!
Ye Haochuan bit his teeth and stomped his foot, squeezing out a drop of Essential Blood from his fingers and dripping it onto the coffin.
Woo~
Upon meeting the fresh blood, the small coffin suddenly let out a pleasant tremor.
Ye Haochuan was secretly pleased, thinking there was hope, and quickly planted his Spirit of Blood.
Yet in the next second, he felt his sense towards the Essential Blood growing weaker, and it completely disappeared in just a moment.
“What’s going on?” Ye Haochuan wondered and squeezed out another drop of Essential Blood.
Unsurprisingly, this drop of Essential Blood also lost contact with Ye Haochuan after a moment.
As for the small coffin, after absorbing two drops of Ye Haochuan’s Essential Blood, it even jumped with excitement twice.
What the hell, is this thing going to defy the heaven?
Ye Haochuan was completely disheartened.
This small coffin couldn’t be opened or broken, and even the refinement of Essential Blood was completely ineffective on it. He suspected that even a cultivator at the level of Yang Sen couldn’t do anything about this object.
This time, Ye Haochuan was completely helpless, slumping to the ground like a deflated balloon.
For the first time, he felt so useless, with his beloved woman lying on a hospital bed waiting for him to rescue her, while he, evidently having reached the last step, was stuck dead here, unable to proceed even a bit.
“Big Brother, what do you want to release Ziyi’s soul?” Ye Haochuan bitterly spoke, voicelessly.
The small coffin naturally had no response, just rolling endlessly in Ye Haochuan’s palm.
In the next second, it actually took the initiative to strike Ye Haochuan’s middle finger. However, its aggressiveness was truly limited, causing Ye Haochuan no harm at all.
Yet this scene caught Ye Haochuan’s eye, making him brighten up.
Judging from the small coffin’s behavior, it seemed to still desire Ye Haochuan’s Essential Blood. Such a reaction indicated that this small coffin definitely had some intelligence.
Since it has intelligence, can it be communicated with?
Ye Haochuan suddenly put on a coaxing smile, “hypocritically” grinning, “Release Ziyi’s soul, and I’ll give you a drop of Essential Blood, how about it?”
The small coffin seemed to understand, and its rolling body suddenly stopped. Then, a small gap finally appeared in its coffin board.
Through this gap, Ye Haochuan saw several “petite” figures lying inside. Among them, a phantom figure was none other than Zhang Ziyi.
When its lid was opened, the phantom soul of Zhang Ziyi quickly floated out.
Ye Haochuan was glad, immediately using his own soul to gather it into his mind, to prevent prolonged exposure to the air from damaging Zhang Ziyi’s soul.
He originally thought it would take much effort to save Zhang Ziyi’s soul, not expecting it to be so simple.
Actually, it wasn’t as simple as he thought, as Essential Blood isn’t ordinary blood. Having already sacrificed two drops of Essential Blood, Ye Haochuan’s face was slightly pale.
Yet despite this, he decisively squeezed out a third drop. Compared to Essential Blood, Zhang Ziyi’s position in his heart was evidently much more important.
If following his previous habits, after making the small coffin release Zhang Ziyi’s soul, he could completely refuse to comply. Given the small coffin’s ability to attack, it couldn’t harm him.
However, he did not do so because there were still a few other people inside the small coffin.
“Release everyone else, and I’ll give you another drop!” Ye Haochuan continued.
Having had a straightforward “transaction” with Ye Haochuan before, the small coffin opened its lid promptly upon hearing these words.
Yet, it did not release everyone, only letting one out.
“One is not enough, it must be all!” Ye Haochuan insisted.
Honestly, these people held little value in his heart, exchanging a drop of Essential Blood for them felt like a loss.
However, these people were living souls, and were Zhang Ziyi’s mentor and classmates, so Ye Haochuan reluctantly saved them.
The small coffin seemed somewhat unwilling, continuously colliding with Ye Haochuan’s fingers.
“It must be all, no negotiation!”
No matter how the small coffin collided, Ye Haochuan remained firm on his stance.
After a long time, the small coffin realized it couldn’t escape the situation, and tentatively released another person.
“All!”
Ye Haochuan uttered just two words, then turned his head away.
The small coffin finally surrendered, releasing six or seven people in total.
Yet Ye Haochuan noticed that there was still a woman’s body inside the small coffin. This woman was extremely beautiful, dressed in clothes not of the modern era, like a wealthy young lady from ancient times.
“I said all, and there is still one inside!”
Ye Haochuan pointed to the belly of the small coffin, pursing his lips.
The small coffin suddenly shut its lid tightly, appearing “alert”.
This time, it not only stopped striking Ye Haochuan’s fingers but seemed to want to fly out from Ye Haochuan’s palm.
Huh? For this woman, it doesn’t even want the Essential Blood. Could it be that she is very important to the small coffin?
Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but have this suspicion arise in his heart.
Perhaps this woman wasn’t actively swallowed by the coffin, but also the owner of the small coffin?
With this thought, Ye Haochuan did not dwell on the woman, grabbing the small coffin, saying, “Fine, fine, I don’t want this woman. But if you want the Essential Blood, I have one more condition.”
Saying this, a subtle, meaningful smile appeared at the corner of Ye Haochuan’s mouth.
“As long as you agree to follow me in the future, I’ll give you this drop of Essential Blood!”
This coffin had such strong defensive capabilities and could hide people, it was truly a rare treasure, and Ye Haochuan wouldn’t let it go so easily.
Though for now, there’s no way to refine it, with time, a method to refine it will surely be found, right?
Yet he didn’t expect that after he put out the lure, the coffin remained exceptionally quiet without giving any response one would expect from agreement.
What the heck, is one drop of Essential Blood worth so little that you aren’t even willing to follow for it?
Ye Haochuan felt vexed.
“How about this, as long as you follow me, I’ll continue to give you Essential Blood to drink in the future, how does that sound?” Ye Haochuan tentatively suggested.
As soon as these words were spoken, the coffin immediately became unsettled, quickly rolling in Ye Haochuan’s palm, seemingly overjoyed.
Ye Haochuan was also delighted, promptly fulfilling his promise, offering another drop of Essential Blood.
After four drops of Essential Blood, Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but feel a rush in his head, nearly fainting.
However, he had no regrets at all, for if the coffin was used well, it would absolutely be worth more than those few drops of Essential Blood.
