C35 (1/2)

Hearing my exclamation, everyone's relaxed state of mind immediately lifts up. They all rush over to dig through the bushes under their feet. Beneath the shrubs, a pale and rotten hand is exposed, covered with maggots that constantly wriggled, looking extremely disgusting.

Only half of the rotten hands were exposed, the rest were covered with soft soil. The sea crouched down to dig at the soil, and a corpse appeared in front of us.

It was probably buried under the soil by some unknown person, but there was sufficient rain water on the Wild Mountain, so it was washed out. Just now, I stepped on this person's hand, and that was why I fell to the ground!

”Mike?”

Zhu Yingqiong cried out in surprise. She recognized the Englishman, he must be one of Charles's team, she had cleaned up the soil on the corpse, although the corpse's face was a little rotten, but we could still see that he died peacefully, because there was a strange smile on his face, that was a smile!

The monk inspected the corpse and found that there were no wounds on the body. He frowned and said, ”It's very strange, we haven't been wounded, how did we die?”

Fourth Uncle's face changed as he shouted, ”Quick, dig through the surrounding soil and take a look!”

I know that he was worried that the old man would die here, so I quickly bent down to dig up the soil with the rest of the people. However, when we cleared up the weeds around the ground, all of their faces turned terrifyingly green, and we saw that it was a clearing of about ten meters in diameter, and after digging up the dirt, a dozen or so corpses laid scattered across the ground. They were all covered by the soil, but they were all shallow.

Some of the corpses were very rotten, some of them were not very rotten, and I could still make out the contours of their faces. Most of them were British, and only one or two of them were Chinese.

After all, the scene in front of me was too disgusting. My stomach was in turmoil, but I managed to endure it, and only Zhu Yingqiong, whose face was getting colder and colder, started to inspect all the corpses one by one. She did not make a sound, she was very quiet and calm!

I'm very curious, how did these people die here?

Could it be the same as before, that he was attacked by a monster?

Impossible, this area is already far away from the giant earthworms, the surroundings should still be dangerous, and looking at the scene, the bodies were all hastily buried, could it be that the remaining people buried these bodies?

If this place was dangerous, how would he have time to bury the body?

The monk looked at all the corpses, his face turning more and more serious, before finally saying: ”Fourth Master, all these people did not die, they were not injured at all, they are perfectly fine, but the strange thing is that all of them had smiles on their faces right before they died, the feeling is that they died after reaching their limits!”

Hai Yang scolded, ”Bullsh * t, so many people died together? What's with the smiles on everyone's faces? ”

I also frowned. ”It's a little outrageous. Logically speaking, they should have crossed over the giant earthworm before coming here to rest. Why would so many people suddenly die here?” Could it be that there is something dangerous about this place that can instantly take one's life? ”

No one can answer my question, because our current location has already left the giant earthworm's territory, and the surroundings are very empty, there aren't many trees, and our vision is very clean, and we don't have any blind spots. If someone or some monster were to sneak attack us, we would be seen from a very far distance.

Therefore, these people had died in an extremely safe place!

Zhu Yingqiong said coldly: ”There should be more who escaped, their corpses have been buried, meaning that they still have time to take care of them after encountering an accident.”

Hai Yang said, ”It's possible that he came back slowly to bury the body after the matter was settled.”

The monk said straightforwardly: ”Fourth Master, this place is not safe. We must leave immediately.”

I also said, ”That's right, Fourth Uncle, let's not care about how these people died. We should first find an extremely safe place for now, as the sky is about to turn dark.”

Zhu Yingqiong said with her back facing me, ”Is this place not safe? If we don't figure out what's going on, we might as well do the same. ”

I thought to myself, even if I wanted to check, I wouldn't be able to find out. So many people died in this place at the same time, and none of them had any injuries.

Could it be that the Hades' hands were shaking when he was drawing up the Book of Life and Death, and all these people died in a single stroke?

Moreover, these corpses all had a common point. Every single one of them had a strange smile on their face. What was the reason for them to smile even after death?

The more I thought about it, the more creepy I felt. This place is too creepy, we can't stay here any longer.

The sea did not say anything, but Zhu Yingqiong felt that we should first investigate the source of this matter. In the end, only then did the Fourth Uncle make the final decision: ”Right now, everything we say is unnecessary, the Wild Mountain is extremely dangerous, so we need to be extra careful with every step we take. If we do not clarify what is happening here, then it is very likely that we will encounter the same situation on our journey, and the same mistakes will not be made.

Fourth Uncle has already spoken, we did not continue arguing. Furthermore, what Fourth Uncle said made sense, if we did not investigate this matter clearly, we might encounter this kind of situation on our way.

But can you really find out if you stay here?

I maintained my doubts and started to carefully inspect the corpses of the monks, while Zhu Yingqiong followed right beside us. Every time she looked at a corpse, she would call out a name, it seemed that these people had a deep friendship with her at Charles's company.

Looking at it, Zhu Yingqiong's face suddenly changed. She seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly got up and leaned towards the edge. I anxiously shouted, ”There's a giant earthworm's territory in front, what are you planning to do?”

Zhu Yingqiong ignored me, walked to the edge of the battlefield with an anxious face, and then stopped and walked step by step towards us, until she arrived at the location where we discovered the corpse. |
