DAY 334 The corpse at the bottom of the lake

 It was also pitch black under the lake, and his line of sight was completely blocked. Angel quickly built a hexagonal model in his thinking space, and with a gentle push of magic power, a white light appeared out of thin air in the light shield of the purification force field.

The ball is like a lamp, lighting up the surroundings.

This is the O-level magic light spell.

In the past two months, he had completed most of the commonly used tricks, including the light trick, which he had never bothered to learn in the past and thought it was a waste of time.

The light spell only has the effect of light, and the light it emits is not bright. It is similar to a torch. It can illuminate the surrounding two or three meters at most. However, torches cannot be used underwater, and the light spell does not have this limitation.

In fact, there is an advanced magic spell called "Shine". It can illuminate a range of tens of meters. However, "Shine" is a level 1 magic. To learn it, you need to accumulate corresponding knowledge. It takes a lot of time to learn it.

After studying for a long time, Angel has no intention of studying for the time being.

With the help of the light spell, the dark and cold lake water finally had a little brightness.

Using the dim light to look around, he saw that there was unknown black debris floating in the water, and he also found some strange black threads, like human hair, floating quietly in the water.

Looking at the bunch of black hair wrapped together, Angel could still imagine how disgusting the smell was even though there was a purification force field.

The lake was not deep, about four or five meters, and Angel quickly reached the bottom of the lake. The bottom of the lake was full of unknown black paint-like things. He thought they were primary petroleum resources at first, but they were wrapped in magic balls.

Part of the black paint entered the purification field, and instantly a nauseating rancid smell filled the tip of the nose.

It's not oil. Angel thought about it for a long time, and based on his experience, he didn't know what it was, so he had to give up.

The bottom of the lake is not deep, which also proves one thing. In the past, the villagers could not live on this water alone. This lake may have been living water in the past, but now it is blocked for some unknown reason.

With this idea in mind, Angel began to search for possible blocked pipes in the dark water.

Every few steps he took, a "wind tornado" was activated from Angel's hand, rolling up the dregs at the bottom of the water. The bottom of the lake began to stir violently, and many things hidden in the dregs were lifted out.

Angel has been maintaining a purification force field, temporarily blocking off the sewage and garbage, and adding the light spell, so he can clearly see many strange things.

For example, a small, worn-out iron box flashed past Angel's eyes.

He quickly captured the iron box and dragged it into the light mask of the purification force field. Angel estimated that the iron box had not been opened for a long time. He was afraid that opening it would cause qualitative changes in the contents, so he followed suit and

He didn't try to open the iron box, but put his spiritual tentacles inside to observe the situation inside.

Angel was a little surprised by the picture fed back by the mental tentacles. Looking at the exquisiteness and sealing of the box, he thought it was for decorative treasures, but the box contained mostly undamaged medical equipment, such as

Needles, medicine bottles, syringes and the like.

Angel thought for a while, then used the Cleaning Technique to clean up the debris outside the small iron box, then used the Purifying Technique to remove the smell, and finally put it into the bracelet.

The reason why Angel didn't discard the box was that the medical equipment inside had a strange symbol -

A snake coils around a cone.

This sign may reveal some information about the village here.

As the "wind tornadoes" went down, the dark objects that had been buried for nearly a thousand years surfaced one by one. Among them, there were even several white bones with heads that had not yet faded off.

No one's bones were seen in the village. Angel thought that everyone here had escaped, but it seemed that was not the case now. He only cleaned a corner of the bottom of the lake, and a total of 8 corpses appeared.

Judging from the area, how many bodies have sunk to the bottom of the lake?

Could it be that the whole village was dead at the bottom of the lake?

Thinking of this possibility, Angel felt a little creepy. No wonder the smell of this lake is so bad. It has been dead for thousands of years and has countless corpses. It's strange that it smells good.

Angel jumped out of the lake with the bones, placed the bones by the lake, and began to inspect them one by one.

When all eight bones were inspected, Angel's face showed a smile. After careful inspection, he determined that these bones were all human beings, not humanoids. And based on the height and bone size distribution, Angel judged these possibilities.

He is Zhiren and belongs to the mainstream genus of the Southern Region.

This answer made Angel even more convinced that he might not have left the wizarding world.

It is not that there are no human beings in other planes, but most of them are mortal beings, not ordinary humans. Angel is very sure that these skeletons were once ordinary people. In addition, although the deserted villages in the center of the earth are wonderful, after passing Angel's section

After searching for a long time, we can roughly judge that there should be no ordinary things in the village.

A village full of ordinary humans would never appear outside the wizarding world!

Since he is still in the wizarding world, what does Angel have to worry about? As long as he never strays far away, there is always a way to go back.

Angel dug a huge pit with his magical hands and put 8 corpses into the pit. He maintained basic respect for the dead.

Angel did not bury it immediately, but continued to go to the bottom of the lake to stir up waves.

As he expected, the entire bottom of the lake was simply a mass grave. He fished out corpses one after another, including men and women, old and young. Among them was the corpse of a baby held in the arms of his mother. Looking at this

Seeing the corpses of a mother and child that seemed to be full of motherly love but also indifferent, Angel felt mixed emotions in his heart.

It is impossible for a baby to actively seek death, so this corpse seems to prove one thing: the people here may have been killed or committed suicide.

Putting aside the murder, if it was suicide, Angel didn't understand what kind of emotions this mother had. She would rather die than take her baby with her.

"Alas..." Sighing softly, the past has long been buried in time, and no one can explain why. Mortal feelings, because life is too short, explode with more passion and excitement. This is a wizard with a long life.

, a kind of blazing that is missing.

Perhaps a bloody disaster occurred here thousands of years ago. Or—

Angel turned back and looked at a certain part of the village. There was a nest that had been there for many years, and colorful dragonflies made their home there. Angel didn't know if their visit might have caused a problem here.

However, who can clarify what happened thousands of years ago?

Corpses, like piles of bones, were dragged out from the bottom of the lake by Angel and thrown into the huge pit. What he didn't know was that while he was doing these things, a golden vertical pupil was hiding at the bottom of the lake.

He stared at him quietly.

In the end, Angel removed nearly a hundred corpses from the bottom of the lake. This number seemed like a lot, but according to the size of the village, there should be more than a hundred people living there.

"Perhaps some of the remaining people escaped from the village?" Angel guessed.

Angel cleaned the bottom of the lake for a long time and took out almost all the corpses. However, the "underground passage" he was looking for to prove that the lake was once a living water lake was not found.

"Could it be that my guess is wrong? In fact, there are other water sources in this deserted village in the center of the earth? Is this lake just built to look good?"

But who would deliberately build a stagnant lake for people to see?

Or is this lake actually the tomb of the villagers? They ended their lives in water burial?

Angel speculated to himself. He couldn't get the answer and couldn't find the exit. He could only leave the bottom of the lake and bury the bones first.

There were too many corpses, and the initial hole was a little small. Angel commanded Toby to violently smash a larger hole nearby, and then put the corpses into it one by one.

After the soil was covered, Angel also found a big stone, melted it into a monument through thermal melting, and carved a neat row of universal text with his magic hand:

"In an unknown deserted village, more than a hundred corpses were buried in the lake. Now a monument has been erected to commemorate them."

"The monument was erected by: Angel Pat."

As the inscription was erected, Angel began to wonder if there was any other way. In fact, there was a stupid way to dig a road by himself, but he didn't know the location of the infrastructure in the center of the earth. If he accidentally dug a road, it would collapse.

That's not good.

At this moment, Angel suddenly heard a gurgling sound coming from the lake behind him.

He turned around and saw that a whirlpool had appeared on the lake?!

How could Angel not know what the whirlpool on the lake meant? His face showed joy, he called Toby back, and then he plunged into the lake.

Angel came directly to the whirlpool, and he was surprised to find that a dark hole suddenly appeared at the bottom of the lake.

It is this abrupt hole that causes the vortex.

"Didn't you see a cave entrance here before?" Angel was full of doubts, and then began to recall what the previous situation was here.

But after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of any useful information. Because the bottom of the lake was too dark, even with the light spell, it could only illuminate two or three meters nearby. In addition, the bottom of the lake was uneven and full of black paint-like things. He

It's normal not to remember.

"Perhaps the wind tornado was used to lift up the entrance of the cave, and then when the villagers were buried, the last layer of membrane was crushed through due to water pressure?" Angel had no other guesses.

, and there is no one else here, so we can only make such a guess.

As for whether it is the undead causing trouble... Angel can still tell the difference. He did not feel the fluctuations of the undead here. In addition, the chance of ordinary people turning into soul bodies and surviving is too low, and now another thousand years have passed.

For a long time, it is impossible for the undead to exist.

When the bottom of the lake became calm again, Angel carefully stepped into the dark cave entrance.

There is an unknown cave entrance, an unknown path, and no one knows what the path ahead is. All Angel can do now is to be on full alert.

"Toby, you should also be careful!" Angel also reminded Toby, but when he turned to look at Toby, he found that Toby's eyes were very solemn.

"Toby?" Angel asked doubtfully.

Toby made two gestures to Angel: "Jigujigu."

"You said you want to go out?" Angel was a little surprised. Didn't Toby always love cleanliness the most? It's not good to stay in a purification force field. You have to go out and come into contact with dirty and rancid water?
