Upon hearing this, everyone ignored the imminent Yellow River flood crisis and hurried over. The saying 'people die for wealth, just as birds die for food' held true; despite the impending threat, everyone harbored a fluke mentality until the river had truly taken lives.
Now, everyone looked at each other and rushed over, including Zhang Chen, who also ran alongside them.
From a distance, the center of the Yellow River's riverbed revealed a two-meter-wide pit, pitch-black and bottomless, with the Crystal Coffin stuck at its edge, unable to be pulled up. The ropes were taut, seemingly ready to fall at any moment.
At this moment, a laborer threw a stone into the pit, and after a long silence without an echo, he said to the general:
"General, this is not good! An underground cave appeared here, deep and bottomless. Once the Crystal Coffin falls in, it would be extremely difficult to retrieve it."
