I Did Many Dangerous Things After Knowing When I Would Die Chapter 21
Advertisement
John hugged the goods tightly. He shot a fierce gaze at the members, like a wild animal unwilling to share its prey.
However, the other members of the expedition team's desperation overpowered his fury!
In the face of John's headstrong resistance, the members of the expedition team did not show any mercy. They promptly brandished their shovels that hung at their waists and struck John!
At this moment, there were no cameras and the livestream had already been canceled. It was as if everyone had torn off their disguises and revealed their true nature!
Men have to grab opportunities for themselves, or else who will?
Everyone wore a wide, selfish grin and swung their shovels down deliriously, coming down on John's body repetitively.
Although he was paralyzed by the ghostly qi and had lost his sense of pain, John was still a mortal.
Under the fierce barrage of attacks, his arm broke from the impact and both arms protecting the treasures dropped weakly.
Bang!
A member landed a forceful kick on John and he was rolled onto his side, helpless.
The gold, silver, and jewelry in his arms were scattered all over the ground.
"Hahaha! Mine! These are all mine!"
The member of the expedition team screamed excitedly as he bent down and gathered the pile of riches into his arms.
As he did so, the corpse worms that were concealed in the valuables swarmed into his facial orifices and abdomen.
However, the other members of the expedition team acted as if they overlooked these terrifying corpse insects. They fought each other wildly, their hands thrown at each other ceaselessly.
They were entangled with each other, feuding with each other just like that.
Blake stared at the atmosphere of the tomb. With the power of his Yin-Yang Eyes, he could see the ghostly qi spreading through his teammates' bodies uncontrollably.
Their pupils dilated at that moment, black fog seemingly swirling within them.
"These guys have been corrupted by the ghostly qi. Their minds are no longer clear..."
Blake's brows were tightly knitted together.
He did not have much time. He had to open the coffin as soon as possible and find a way to restrain the ghostly Qi.

Focusing on this goal, Blake held the Obsidian Carving Knife horizontally in his hand. He pressed the tip of the knife against the seal of the coffin, which produced a sizzling sound.
The Obsidian Carving Knife flashed up in flames, but the seal was not broken.
Blake frowned.
'This shouldn't be happening...
'Wasn't this Obsidian Carving Knife supposed to be able to break any seal?
'How could it not even break open this ordinary coffin?
'Did someone cast a secret spell on this coffin?'
Blake thought suspiciously.
Immediately, he realized the reason why the group of grave robbers hadn't opened the coffin.
It was because of this seal!
This seal was exceptionally powerful, to the point that not even the Obsidian Carving Knife was any match for it. There was no wonder why the group of grave robbers couldn't open it at all...
Crack, crack, crack...
The compass that had been quiet all this time suddenly started to form cracks.
Not good!
The ghostly qi had intensified, and the compass couldn't hold on any longer!
Blake grimaced and tightened his grip on the Obsidian Carving Knife.
There wasn't much time left for him.
He had to open the coffin as soon as possible!
Sizzle!
Sizzle!
He slashed the Obsidian Carving Knife across the coffin, radiating streaks of fiery light.
In Blake's Yin-Yang Eyes, the seal placed on the coffin was like a hemp rope, its threads slowly snapping.
This meant that the Obsidian Carving Knife was indeed weakening the seal.
As long as Blake was given enough time, he would definitely be able to break through!
Realizing that he had a chance, Blake's entire body was suddenly filled with power, and the strength of the carving knife in his hand gradually increased!
'Soon...
'Soon!
'It will be broken soon!'
Blake swung his Obsidian Carving Knife into the air and yelled with all his might.
In the distance, the ghostly qi circulating in the bodies of the members of the exploration team became stronger and stronger, and their brawl against each other became more and more barbaric.

Their clothes had been tattered, revealing many scratches and injuries inflicted onto their bodies by one another.
There was even a trace of blood at the corner of the mouth of one of the teammates.
The few of them pushed and stumbled over the corpses of the tomb robbers, crushing and shattering the bones.
The brutal behavior caused many more of the flasks that the corpses were hugging to be broken. Their contents were exposed, revealing even more gold, silver, and jewelry!
In an instant, the crazed expedition members became even more hysterical!
They lunged toward the funerary objects and tried to snatch as many as they could for themselves.
They stuffed them into their underwear, pockets, bags, and anywhere else they could think of.
As they were frantically shoving the treasures, they failed to notice that more corpse worms were crawling into their clothes and gnawing on their skin. "Ah!"
Many of them screamed in pain.
However, that didn't stop them from what they were doing.
At this moment, this group of people had completely been taken over by the ghostly qi and dominated by their own greed!
...
Crack!
On the other side, the seal could be heard breaking as fissures crawled all over it.
The seal on the coffin was finally broken!
Blake put away the Obsidian Carving Knife in his hand as he looked at the loose coffin cover and heaved a long sigh of relief.
The coffin had finally been opened!
However, he did not stop there. He placed his hands on the coffin cover before pushing it forward with all his might.
Creak... Creak!
The coffin lid ground against its wooden body and revealed an opening.
A pure black mist then diffused out from the coffin into the air!
Blake watched as black mist rushed out from the coffin.
His compass needle was flailing about indicating danger.
This black mist was deadly!
This ghostly qi was more threatening than any other that had spread out before!
Blake hurriedly withdrew from the coffin, without enough time to push open the remaining half of the lid.
However, he suddenly saw that the lid was moving on its own!
It was as if there was an invisible hand inside the coffin that had reached out and gently pushed it aside.
Not long after, the lid slid down from the coffin and landed on the ground with a thud.
A large mass of abnormally dense ghostly qi surged out from the new opening, and Blake could feel that these were completely different from before.
He could only see this thick ghostly qi when he opened his Yin-Yang Eye.
It intertwined to form a small whirlwind of ghostly qi.
Blake could clearly feel that as the black cyclone emerged from the coffin, the temperature in the entire tomb had dropped even more!
The temperature had already been low, but after the further drop in temperature, it was instantly on par with the South Pole.
'The method to stop the ghostly qi is really in this coffin?'
Blake looked at the spiraling black mist, and his heart was filled with skepticism.
His instincts told him that he had freed an extremely ghastly existence.
'Could it be that the system lied to me?
'No.
'It can't be.'
Blake thought firmly in his heart.
On the other side, the exploration team had also grown aware of this unnatural situation. However, their reactions were different from Blake's.
As these guys laid their eyes on the opened coffin, their eyes widened as if they had seen an extremely rare treasure, and they immediately started howling uncontrollably.
"Treasures! So many treasures!"
"We're rich! We're rich!"
The members of the expedition team shouted excitedly as they charged toward the coffin!
When Blake saw this, he was completely stumped.
With the vision of his Yin-Yang Eyes, he could clearly see that there was nothing inside the coffin!
There was no treasure at all!
"Could it be... another illusion yet again?"

Having subdued its surrounding enemies, the former Sulic Empire is faced with unrest brewing from within. Society is torn in two. The reigning mentalists constantly persecute the subjugated elementals under the pretence of curbing the explosive potential of their destructive powers.

And in the shadows, Sulic’s old enemies have been lying in wait a long time, looking for the first sign of weakness to make their move.

If they step out of line, the Governance system corrects it. But when Kal encounters a young boy whom he suspects might be an illegal earthborn, he can’t bring himself to report him. Despite his training and the advice of friends, he decides to help him onto what he believes is the right path.

Don't Come Inside, Okay?
Lars Cromwell just got dumped by his girlfriend of 3 months, apparently because she found someone better. Although the normal man would have been bummed out by this, Lars didn't particularly mind. Because Lars just won the lottery, which meant he was about a billion dollars richer now. And he had one less person to share it with! Even if he was single, at least he was filthy stinking rich! In any case, this is Lars' story. A story that begins just like how many others do. With his death. Join Lars as he reincarnates into another world as his Avatar together with his favorite game's Dungeon and it's NPCs! = This Work is on an indefinite Hiatus. I do not know when I'll get back to this, but I plan to rewrite a bunch of stuff when I do. If you liked this, keep following it so that I can inform you of when I improve this! = Hello, I'm Lire, and this is my 2nd fiction. I recently got into the whole dungeon thing, and thought that I wanted to write one of my own! Chapter Length: 2000+ Words. It can only be more, never less. Chapter Release Schedule: Whenever I can write. I am juggling this with my main Fiction, so yeah... Disclaimer: - Don't expect much statistical growth from the MC. Although I plan for him to refine his techniques and increase his repertoire. - You can guess from the name, but there will not be too much action in the dungeon itself. Plus, the dungeon has been fully built, so not too many things will be added either. The whole idea is to kill potential intruders before they enter the Dungeon. - This will be more like a Kingdom building story, than a Dungeon Building one. MC will try to dominate his surroundings so that he can keep his Dungeon safe. - There will be Slice of life elements, since realistically speaking, events aren't supposed to happen all the time. - This work is inspired, to a certain extent, by Murayama-sama's Overlord Light novel. Minus the 'emotionless' undead MC, and the premise of misunderstandings. The NPCs will also be aware that they were characters in a game, that came to life for some reason, so no need for MC to role-play to pull the wool over the eyes of his own allies. Also, unlike Overlord, there is a chance for the cast of characters to increase through a built-in gacha system(This is not a spoiler, this will literally be explained in the first few chapters.), except that the rates are absolutely abysmal, so it won't happen frequently. Maybe I'll use a poll to decide the next ally? We'll see.
