YM778.TV Chapter 33: Deadly Trap
After returning to the real world and getting rid of his status as a prisoner on death row…
Besides practicing martial arts, Su Mu also read books in order to understand more about this world.
He had once read about the varieties of breathing earth in a random book.
Breathing earth were very mystical types of soil. There were many different types of soil, each with their own functions.
The Yin Wood soil of breath was one of them.
It was said that this mystical soil could absorb Yin Qi, evil Qi, and all kinds of filth, suppressing evil.
This thing was the complete opposite of the Yin Crow’s Blood that Su Mu had used in the previous simulation.
One was the catalyst for the birth of fiendish demons.
One was to stop the birth of demons.
However, there was a huge difference in the grade of the two.
The Yin Wood soil of breath was considered a top-tier treasure, and even a small portion of it was extremely rare.
The bronze coffin was surrounded by a thick layer of energy that was over a meter thick!
Even so, the coffin still affected things in the outside world.
Even the vegetation on the ground was affected!
What did this mean?
This meant that the thing buried in the bronze coffin was extremely terrifying!
Even a large amount of Yin Wood soil could not completely suppress it!
Su Mu’s breathing became heavy.
He realized that they seemed to have discovered something incredible!
Su Mu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
But after a pause, he swallowed his words.
Although he was taking a huge risk, he still wanted to understand more about this bronze coffin.
Don’t ask. Asking means you’re not afraid of death!
…
The bronze coffin was dug out bit by bit, gradually being released from the surrounding soil.
However, before it could be completely excavated, something terrifying happened!
Clang! Clang!
The bronze coffin suddenly shook.
Then, a gray gas burst out from the coffin and spread out at an alarming speed.
That feeling was like detonating a bomb!
Wherever the gray gas went, life would be extinguished!
A soldier who was digging was engulfed by the gray gas before he could react.
The light in his eyes faded instantly, and his originally strong body was like a deflating balloon, instantly shriveling up like a dry corpse.
As for his scalp, skin, and so on, they were all aged beyond recognition.
In the blink of an eye, a young man had been mummified alive.
Everyone who was corroded by the gray gas died as quickly as this person.
This scene shocked Su Mu, and he quickly retreated.
He had been mentally prepared, so he was the only one who reacted in time and made a move to escape.
But even so, Su Mu only managed to escape three meters before he was hit by the gray Qi, and his world went black.
He was dead!

[Prompt: the completion rate is lower than 90%. The dungeon is not completed. You cannot leave.]
In the white room, Su Mu helplessly massaged his brows.
He knew that the bronze coffin was very terrifying and dangerous.
After all, after the excavation, the [Spiritual sense] talent had never once calmed down.
However, Su Mu did not expect the coffin to be so brutal!
In a breath, more than a hundred soldiers had died silently.
Even Liu Gaotian, a first-rate warrior, didn’t have the chance to struggle.
What was buried in this bronze coffin?
Su Mu carefully thought it over.
Before his consciousness completely dissipated, he vaguely heard a shrill and strange roar coming from the bronze coffin.
It sounded like… A female voice.
Was a woman buried inside?
However, why would they build such a huge coffin to bury a woman?
In addition, when so much Yin Wood soil of breath was involved, the person or organization that buried this coffin was definitely not simple!
Su Mu searched in the system store and found that a small bottle of Yin Wood soil of breath that cost 500 points.
One could only imagine how precious the Yin Wood soil around the bronze coffin was!
“This bronze coffin must be hiding a huge secret.”
“It’s a pity that I can’t touch it with my current strength!”
“No, I have to try again!”
Su Mu was unwilling.
With the same set of talents, he entered the simulation world again and started the second life of the dungeon.
…
In this life, Su Mu had been paying close attention to that barren land.
Before he was four years old, which was six years before the Tianqi era, the land there was still fertile and there was a bumper harvest every year.
However, since the sixth year of the Tianqi era, no crops could be grown on it.
As time passed, only those blood-like flowers grew.
After another two years of observation, Su Mu did not make any special discoveries.
And so, he used the same method to trick Liu Gaotian into digging a hole.
With his previous experience, Su Mu knew that the bronze coffin should not be dug.
What he was after, was the Yin Wood soil around the bronze coffin.
Even if he couldn’t touch the bronze coffin, couldn’t he touch the dirt around him?
Su Mu had to try!
When they found the yin Wood soil of breath, Su Mu told Liu Gaotian about the special properties of this divine soil.
He also suggested that he should just take some Yin Wood soil of breath and stop digging.
After some persuasion, Liu Gaotian listened to Su Mu’s suggestion and took a small amount of Yin Wood soil to fill up the big pit.
However, Su Mu’s plan still failed.
The bronze coffin had existed for countless years.
The Yin Wood soil of breath in the surroundings had absorbed a great deal of evil Qi and deathly Qi, and was already corrupted!
After he brought it back to the military camp, an even greater disaster happened!
From that day on, strange things happened frequently in the military camp, and evil spirits continued to appear.
Fortunately, he didn’t have to worry too much about such a “small problem.”
This was because the Yin Wood soil of breath possessed a strong aura of death.
Although it wasn’t as terrifying as the gray gas that burst out of the bronze coffin, which could kill people instantly, it was still a very powerful weapon.
But it wasn’t any better.
In just two or three days, the people in the military camp died of old age, one by one.
On the fourth day, only Su Mu, Liu Leqing, and a few other children were left.
However, they only managed to hold on for one or two more days before they too died, one by one.
Maybe it was because he had a weak resistance to Yin and evil, Su Mu was the last one to die.
As he looked at the corpses all over the camp, Su Mu sighed helplessly.
He closed his eyes and lost consciousness.

[Comment: Your short life only lasted for a mere 6 years. Not only did you have no achievements, but you also killed 832 people in passing.]
[Prompt: The completion rate is lower than 90%. The dungeon is not completed. You cannot leave.]
“Well. I got even more people killed this time.”
In the white space, Su Mu had a helpless look on his face.
He had wanted to get some benefits from the bronze coffin.
In the end, he made a fool of himself and killed an entire camp of people.
It seemed that Su Mu really couldn’t touch this thing now, because he would definitely die if he touched it!
After a while, Su Mu started the third simulation.
This time, he decided not to seek death and worked hard to live.
This way, he could properly explore the general situation of this instance dungeon.
