The Divine Land, the Northern Desert.
Ice and snow ravaged the entire land. The mountains and valleys were all covered in silver. Heavy snowflakes fell from the sky. Looking from afar, the sky and the earth were all one color.
On the winding mountain road, a caravan was resting. The wind and snow were too heavy for the carriages to move. They had to wait for the wind and snow to die down before continuing.
"Look, coffin carriers!"
A middle-aged man's exclamation caught the attention of the caravan. They curiously looked into the distance. After a few glances, they were all shocked!
The wind and snow were howling, and the world became misty. In the distance, a mysterious golden coffin loomed and gradually appeared in people's sight.
The golden coffin was two meters long, one meter wide and one meter high. The walls of the coffin were engraved with ancient patterns and talismans.
The patterns and talismans emitted a dim light, blocking all the falling snowflakes. It was extremely strange.
What shocked people was the coffin carrier in front of the coffin.
It was a teenager, about 14 or 15 years old.
His upper body was bare, and his back was hunched. He grabbed two huge cold iron chains with both hands and carried the chains on his shoulders. He was trying his best to pull the coffin forward.
In a world of ice and snow, a teenager was pulling a coffin!
This scene was visually impactful and breathtaking.
The dim light emitted by the golden coffin blurred the teenager's body. People couldn't see his face clearly. In a trance, they seemed to see a god pulling a coffin.
"This teenager was born with great strength."
The middle-aged man exclaimed again. Many people came back to themselves and looked at the teenager carefully. After making sure there was no Xuan Energy on him, they were shocked again.
An ordinary willow coffin weighed three or four hundred pounds. This coffin was cast in gold, so it was at least three thousand pounds.
Without Xuan Energy, the teenager was not a real warrior. Even a strong man could only have the strength of five or six hundred pounds.
The teenager could pull a coffin that weighed three thousand pounds. Although it seemed a bit strenuous, it was enough to shock people.
"He is so young and handsome, but he is pulling a coffin. Does he want to be unlucky for the rest of his life?"
An old man sighed. Many people nodded in agreement.
Coffin carriers were not common, but it happened occasionally in the history of the Northern Desert. People knew something about it.
When important elders of the big families of the Northern Desert died, they liked to be buried in giant golden coffins.
These giant coffins would not be buried under the ground, but placed at the peak of the ice mountain. It was said that this would protect the people of the clan.
When the clan was in decline or met with a major change, the clan would hold a Coffin Pulling Ceremony and look for a new iceberg to transfer the ancestral coffin of the clan. The Fengshui would be changed and the welfare of the clan would be rebuilt.
That was where the Coffin Carrier came into being.
Carrying coffins was harmful to one's luck. In the minds of many people of the Northern Desert, one's luck would be absorbed by the corpse in the coffin. One's Profound Qi and life span would also be absorbed. One would suffer bad luck or suffer from diseases for the rest of one's life.
Therefore, coffin carrying was the most humble job in the Northern Desert. No matter how high the pay was, young warriors would not be tempted. Only the old warriors in dire straits would carry coffins.
The young man had beautiful features. He was about 1.75 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His legs were slender and muscular.
He wore an ancient beast tooth on his neck, which made him look very wild. In terms of appearance, he was not bad.
He was fourteen or fifteen years old, had a handsome appearance, and possessed a terrifying divine power. His conditions were not bad.
Why did he come to do the most humble and insidious job of carrying coffins?
Wasn't he afraid that his luck would be taken away, his life span would be shortened, and he would suffer bad luck for the rest of his life?
The middle-aged man stared at the Golden Ancient Coffin and said with relief, "This seems to be the Coffin of the Liu Family?
That's right. I heard that the Liu Family had been through a great change recently.
They offered a lot of pellets and Xuan Artifacts and hired people to carry coffins.
It seems that this young man has been tempted. He is willing to sacrifice his luck and life span to carry coffins. "
"Hush, the Liu Family is here." An old man suddenly said. Everyone in the caravan shut up and looked into the distance.
Woo, woo!
From the distance came some howls of beasts. A team of warriors in black armors riding on Silver Wolves rushed over. Before they got close, they could feel the ferocious qi and energy from the Silver Wolves.
"Silver Wolf Escorts. They really are warriors of the Liu Family."
People nodded to themselves. Within a radius of more than 300 miles around the Wu Ling County, there was only one troop riding on Silver Wolves. That was the most powerful Silver Wolf Escorts of the Liu Family.
The Silver Wolf Escorts stopped after they caught up with the young man. A middle-aged man at the front with a long whip in his hand shouted to the young man in a cold voice, "Lu Li, hurry up!
If you can't get to the Black Hawk Ridge before dark, you will not get any reward. "
The young man called Lu Li looked up and saw that he was surrounded by more than a dozen Silver Wolves that were three feet tall and two feet long. However, he did not show much fear. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, Lord. I will get there before dark."
"Go!"
The big man shouted in a deep voice and rushed away with the Silver Wolf Escorts. Soon, they disappeared into the vast mountains in the distance.
Lu Li glanced at the caravan that stopped nearby and continued to carry the coffin in silence.
He grabbed the huge cold iron chain with both of his hands and carried it on his shoulders. Every step he took was extremely difficult. His muscles were trembling.
Even so, he did not stop. Soon, he passed the caravan and walked into the distance.
"So heavy!"
After a couple of miles, Lu Li stopped after he climbed up a steep slope.
He was so tired that he was out of breath. He was sweating in such a cold weather. It was not hard to imagine how exhausted he was.
He wanted to rest for a while. After he put the coffin in place, he sat on a rock and took out some water and dried meat from the jute bag on his back. He chewed and swallowed to replenish his strength.
"About a dozen miles?
I should be able to get there before dark. "
After eating a few pieces of dried meat, Lu Li looked at the sky. His eyes lit up and he said to himself, "I can get a pellet for one coffin. I wonder if the Body Refinement Pellet of the Liu Family is really as the legend says. One pellet can increase strength of 250 pounds."
"If it really can increase strength of 250 pounds, then I only need to carry more than a dozen coffins to reach 11,000 pounds of strength. Then … I can awaken my Bloodline!"
"Wait until I awaken my Bloodline and become a powerful Bloodline Warrior.
Who else in the tribe dares to bully my sister?
Ha-ha, I will soon be able to lead a good life with my sister. "
Thinking of this, Lu Li's tired face lit up. He quickly got up and carried the coffin forward. This time, his steps were steadier and faster.
Rustle, rustle, rustle!
After a couple of miles, a voice came from behind. Lu Li looked back and his face was a bit gloomy.
There was another coffin puller behind him, but this one was an elder.
The elder's hand that was holding the iron chain glowed with white light. There was also a faint white light circulating on his feet.
He was fast, much faster than Lu Li. He was getting closer quickly.
"Xuan Energy …"
Lu Li murmured enviously. The white light was the Xuan Energy that only warriors could have.
Warriors with Xuan Energy would be much stronger. The elder had used his Xuan Energy to move the coffin as if he was flying.
The elder caught up with Lu Li. He looked at him and said with a frown, "Young man, why do you carry coffins as well?
This will damage your luck.
You are still young. Don't ruin your future for some petty profits. "
Lu Li smiled and said nothing. The elder looked at him for a bit and said nothing more. He quickly carried the coffin and left.
After the elder was far away, Lu Li sighed with a bitter smile, "Future?
I can't cultivate Xuan Energy. I can't enter the gate of Wu Dao.
If I can't awaken my Bloodline, what kind of future do I have?
I will be mediocre for the rest of my life. I will be bullied every day and my sister will suffer because of me. "
"No, this is not the life I want!"
On thinking of this, Lu Li's face became twisted. He roared, clenched his teeth and carried the coffin forward quickly.
The wind and snow were getting heavier and heavier. The sky was getting darker. In the vast mountain path, the dim light emitted by the Golden Ancient Coffin was faintly discernible, which was very strange and enchanting.
