Li Mu tried his best to open his eyes and look toward the place where the sound of water came from. He saw a group of phosphorus fire flickering slightly underground in the distance. It looked like a beautiful aurora, with green tulle dancing gently.
This kind of scenery is really too strange, and everyone is a little curious, wondering what these magical birds are doing in bringing everyone here.
Just when everyone was wondering what was going on, the magical bird suddenly grabbed people and threw them straight to the ground.
Suddenly, everyone plunged into the water like cannonballs.
Unfortunately, the water didn't seem to be deep, only about one meter. After everyone fell in, they stood up and struggled curiously.
Because there was phosphorescence floating in the sky, it didn't seem dark here. Su Daji got up and asked everyone: "Is everyone okay? Are you all here?"
"Basically everything is here." Lin Yingzhao stood up and said.
Seeing everyone standing up from the water, Li Mu calmed down a little and asked, "Where is this?!"
Su Daji shook her head and said: "Looking at the intertwined water systems here, it should be connected to the previous ground lake. No one knows where exactly."
"Hey, these magical birds are really lively Lei Feng. Why did they send us here and leave without even saying hello? Isn't that too polite?" Ji Qishui wondered.
Bai Fengyuan was also surprised: "Could it be that Dashan was right? These magical birds are really trying to save us."
Dashan shook his head, unsure and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple."
At this moment, the wild wolf that was thrown farthest away suddenly shouted: "Look, why are there so many jars here?"
When everyone heard this, they immediately ran over. The wild wolf had already kicked one over, revealing the contents of the jar.
After taking a closer look, he discovered that the thing inside was actually a corpse soaked in oil! And the corpse also had no skin!
"Oh my god, are all these jars filled with skinless corpses like this?" Dashan asked in shock.
Everyone's scalp is numb when they see it. There are at least thousands of such jars here. It would be really scary if they were filled with such skinless people.
At this moment, Ji Qishui suddenly squatted down and took a closer look at the skinless corpse that had been soaked in oil and discolored.
Seeing how fascinated he was, Shanzi quickly shouted: "Qishui, what are you looking at?"
Ji Qishui reached out to pat his arm, then fell silent for a moment and said, "Look at this corpse, does it look familiar to you?"
Shanzi was a little confused, how could he recognize the corpse here?
After taking a closer look, he discovered that he really knew this corpse, and he was an acquaintance!
"Ah...Long Yufei! This is Long Yufei! He is here so well..." Shanzi was stunned for a moment, her head buzzing.
This is too terrifying. Long Yufei was the subordinate brought by the Dark Dragon Guard from Lei City and has been dead for several days. How could he appear in this jar?
Did someone move his body over and put it in a jar?
For a moment, he felt as if he had fallen into a trap carefully designed by others. Is this all fake? The ancient tomb in the mountains is actually a reality show?
Just when Bai Fengyuan's mind was in a mess, Ji Qishui behind him suddenly exclaimed: "Datou! Haiwu! Laoshan!..."
Bai Fengyuan turned around and saw that Dashan was kneeling on the ground. In front of him, there was a pile of corpses. He and Wild Wolf ran over to take a look and found that these skeletons were those of the guys who had died in the lake. Many of them had already died.
The bodies were swollen and mutilated...
"How did these people get here? Did someone specifically salvage these corpses and transport them here?" Dashan looked at the corpses on the ground in surprise and murmured.
Su Daji walked to Long Yufei's corpse, knelt down and looked at the corpse carefully, and whispered: "I'm not sure about the other corpses, but this one must be those sacred birds that brought us here before.
Bring it over."
"Huh? How do you know?" Ji Qishui asked curiously.
Su Daji pointed at Long Yufei's shoulder and said: "Look, there are three obvious claw marks on this corpse, and the torn clothes are embedded in the flesh. It is obviously the mark of being scratched by an eagle's claws.
"
"But what is the purpose of these birds doing this? Are they cleaning?" Ji Qishui asked.
"Absolutely impossible! The behavior of animals is usually very simple. If they catch us not for eating, then they should be hoarding food." Dashan analyzed.
Ji Qishui obviously disagreed with Dashan's statement: "Hoarding food will at least kill us, right? Otherwise, if we have legs, won't we be able to run?"
Bai Fengyuan also agreed with Ji Qishui's view, so he echoed: "I just felt that after these magical birds left us behind, they seemed to run away in a panic. It seemed like they were escaping from something."
"How is it possible? Do you feel that something is wrong? If those strange birds were placed outside, they would definitely be the creatures at the top of the food chain. What else can scare these things? And it doesn't make sense. If these strange birds
It’s because of fear, so why are you leaving us here?”
"Could it be a coincidence?" Bai Fengyuan was speechless for a moment, but he did feel that those strange birds seemed to be afraid of something.
"I also feel strange. If these birds are afraid of something, so they leave us and flee, then what happened to these corpses? It's more like being afraid of something than throwing us here by mistake.
They deliberately piled up food to feed us something."
Ji Qishui stood up and felt a little sad. He looked at the flowing water and said, "These corpses should have been washed over by the water. Judging from the degree of swelling of the corpses, they must have never left the water."
"You can really joke. The water here is so slow. How could the corpses be washed here?" Ji Qishui went to see the corpses.
Li Mu looked at the surrounding walls that were eroded by running water, pointed to the wet water marks on them that were far above the water level, and said: "The water level here should be much higher than where we are now. I guess, the reason why this place is now
It is so shallow and the water flow is so slow. It should be the explosion we caused just now, or the large-scale Zhongru collapse in Dihu a few days ago that caused the siltation of this underground river."
Dashan nodded and said in agreement: "I also agree with Shopkeeper Bai. The underground rivers here have obvious traces of artificial construction. The stone bricks we stepped on, if it weren't for the rapid flow of the river before, I'm afraid it would at least be worse now."
There is a lot of sediment accumulated, and one thing worth noting is that the sacred bird has no flippers on its feet, so it definitely can't swim."
