Brother Yaozi just said that, ignored Lao Bai and Zhang Xinya's inquiries from behind, and got out of the robbery hole on his own.

Seeing him like this, I knew that there should be no danger ahead, at least I couldn't see any danger, so I followed him neatly.

Waves of fishy smell hit your nose...

It's fishy, ​​but not smelly.

The air here is extremely humid, and the fishy smell seems to be attached to the water vapor. The damp and stuffy water vapor hits your face, and your face instantly feels wet. When you reach out and touch it, you can see that it is full of the unique fishy smell of trimethylamine oxide.

When I smelled this fishy smell, I felt like my whole body was tingling. Without saying a word, I just picked up the Tianguan Blade.

Trimethylamine oxide is the component of fishy smell, and what also exudes this strange smell is... wet corpse!!

Years of wet corpse!!

It's probably because it's been too old, and the coffin fluid or water in which the corpse was soaked has dried up for some reason. At this time, the wet corpse will not rot away, and the skin will show wrinkles like the wrinkles of an old man, and it will slowly ooze out.

A layer of transparent grease looks like it has just been applied with toner. It is shiny and smooth. This layer of grease will wrap the body, achieving an almost airtight effect, allowing the body to be preserved for a long time...

Wet corpses are inherently fishy, ​​and the wet corpses after the coffin fluid dries up are the smelliest!!

After using the light of the flashlight in Brother Yaozi's hand to look around clearly, I finally understood why he mentioned Yizhuang.

Yizhuang is a place where the corpses of homeless people are placed, and there are all coffins inside.

It's similar here.

This is a very open place, made of huge stones from top to bottom, left and right, and supported by huge stone pillars in the middle. On those stone pillars are carved some unrecognizable murderers, some of them are very blurry because of the strong moisture, and opposite us there are about

Thirty to forty meters away, there is a raised platform about twenty to thirty centimeters, with square sarcophagi all on it.

This scene is very much like Yizhuang in the old days!!

"Is this really the place where they buried their dead?"

I thought about it for a while and felt a little guilty.

Before the ancient city was buried, this place was excavated underground. It would not be surprising if this was a cemetery with special funeral customs!

After my master came in, I felt confident, and I walked side by side towards the sarcophagi with Brother Yaozi. When I got closer, I realized that it was not accurate to say that these things were sarcophagi, because there was no coffin lid at all, like in the countryside.

It's like a stone trough for drinking animals. The outside can be seen to be made of bluestone. The inside is dark, with a layer of something similar to the ash at the bottom of the pot attached to it...

Obviously, the stone trough looks like a coffin but not a coffin, and this place looks like a yizhuang but not a cemetery.

I walked around and looked at several stone troughs that were probably in the same situation, but I didn't see any bones.

At this time, Zhang Xinya and others also arrived one after another, observing these stone troughs, trying to see something unusual. If nothing unexpected happens, these stone troughs are the biggest secret of the Three-Eyed Kingdom. Judging from the troop allocation map

, this place was their top priority in guarding at the beginning.

"There are dead people here!"

Suddenly, Brother Yaozi's voice came from the front, and I noticed that he had walked to the front alone at some point, and was in the middle of many stone troughs.

It's not surprising that there are dead people. The smell of wet corpses here is all over the place, so it's strange that there are no dead people. I have been looking for corpses before, and it seems that there are only dead people in some stone troughs occasionally.

I quickened my pace and walked over. Sure enough, there was a wet corpse lying in the stone trough next to Brother Yaozi.

This is a female corpse, naked, the skin and flesh on her body are wrinkled like an ugly tangerine, her arms are crossed to protect her chest, and her body is twisted irregularly. It seems that she was not peaceful before death, and her appearance is beyond recognition.

No matter what he looked like before he was alive, after death he will undergo various changes and become like a nightmare.

From a human aesthetic point of view, the proportion of the female corpse's head and body is in no way coordinated. The head is too small. From this point alone, it is enough to conclude that the female corpse is one of those things from the Three-Eyed Kingdom!

What’s interesting is that she is clearly dead. There is no mushroom growing on her head, and the Tianling Cap is still there. It is completely different from the skeletons we have encountered before. Moreover, her head is indeed too small compared to her body.

, but compared to the skeletons we saw before, they are much larger...

In short, this is a very strange female corpse!!

"There's something on her chest."

Brother Yaozi said, staring at the chest of the female corpse, which was protected by crossed arms.

"This kind of wet corpse is extremely poisonous, especially the layer of transparent grease on the outside, which protects the corpse, but if anything unclean is stuck on it, you will contract strange diseases if you touch it."

I immediately stopped him, then took out the rubber gloves from my backpack and put them on. In order to prevent the corpse from breathing, I held my breath and bent down to pull the female corpse's arm.

Wet corpses are generally not stiff, their limbs are not much different from when they were just dead, and their bones and joints can still move. This female corpse is different. The arms are protected in front of the chest and cannot be pulled at all. Moreover, the weight of the female corpse is too heavy.

Do not move!

Weird!

I secretly screamed in my heart. I had no choice but to tilt my body and reach in through my arms. It felt quite disgusting, like catching a pig in the water, it was greasy...

I rubbed away the grease in some places, and once the skin underneath was exposed, it immediately turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This is only the beginning. The protective layer of grease has been destroyed, and it is estimated that the body will rot away soon.

I no longer cared about this, because I found a hard object, only the size of a palm. When I pulled it out, I discovered that it was a jade pendant!

I'm definitely not as good as experts like Fu Huicheng when it comes to treasure appraisal, but I know a little bit about it, and I can tell that this jade pendant is made from Hetian jade seeds.

Jade and jade have become very popular in recent years, especially Hetian jade. How many people rely on this stuff to make a living, but there is not enough to dig out, especially the seeds. Fu Huicheng said that large pieces are rarely seen on the market in recent years.

There are seeds, and there are some that are hidden occasionally, but they were all purchased more than ten or twenty years ago.

This jade pendant is about the size of a palm, and it is not the blue and white jade in the seed material, but the serious mutton-fat white.

The corpse was holding the jade in his arms, but it didn't have any clear color. The jade pendant should be carved with some kind of strange beast. It looked like a fox, with nine heads and nine tails...

"This is a leech."

Brother Yaozi said: "It is said that the sound of this thing is very similar to the sound of a baby. It attracts people and then eats it. It is one of the many mythical beasts in ancient legends and the most cunning and cunning among the ferocious beasts. Jade is originally a gentleman, and there is no such thing.

Leave a trail of eagles and leeches behind."

He said this, and after my master rushed over and took a look, he said softly, "Hey" and frowned: "I have seen this strange mutton-fat leech pendant before!!"

Seeing us looking at him, he shook his head and said: "I can't explain why. Last time I traveled around, I went to Tianmeng and saw this thing there. It's exactly the same. Let's wrap it up first and wait.

Ask Qingzhu when I get back, she should be able to tell me some of the origins."

I nodded and was waiting to take advantage of the opportunity to dig into the contents of my master's bag. However, my master waved his hand and said: "Don't talk about this in a hurry. Let's find out the way to this place. This female corpse has nothing to do with us."

The bones we see are all different, so maybe the answer we want lies here."

Hearing this, we could only scatter in all directions.

There are too many stone troughs, and these stone troughs are very high, almost reaching the level of a person's ribs. It is impossible to see them clearly at a glance, so we can only check them one by one.

The fishy smell here is too strong. This smell is not something that can be permeated by just one wet corpse. I conclude that there are other wet corpses.

Sure enough, one after another, we found many wet corpses...

These wet corpses... are very strange!!

We have seen those skeletons outside, they are uniform in size!

But the wet corpses here have heads of different sizes, some are big, some are small, and they all hold a mutton-fat leech pendant in their arms!

Wet corpses are different from skeletons, and one can tell their age. There are men and women in the stone trough, but they are not very old. The oldest one should be the female corpse we saw first, and she looks like she is in her twenties at most, while the youngest

The child... looked to be six or seven years old at most. The key is, the child's body... was just like a human being!!

In other words, this is a person!!

After reading it, I roughly concluded a rule.

The older you get, the smaller your brain becomes...

When they are six or seven years old, they are no different from humans!!

Reconnecting it with the mummy with a baby in its arms that I saw before, an idea gradually emerged in my mind...
Chapter completed!
