Chapter 3193: Chapter 3193: Are the Corpses Moving?
“I’ve heard Uncle Qiushi mention that there used to be a large village near the Saintess Sect in Yin City, where the people, whether men or women, had high cultivation levels right from birth.
Later, for some unknown reason, the people in this place caught a strange illness and all died. Even the alchemists who went to investigate their cause of death also died completely.
Because of this, it implicated quite a few alchemists from Yin City and nearby, causing panic. Not only alchemists, even living people, dared not approach this village.”
It seems that this place is the village he had heard about.
“Are these skeletons from the people of that village? Impossible, right?” the little baby asked.
Even a child of a few years old knows it’s impossible. These skeletons have accumulated over many years; it’s not something that happened overnight.
“It seems those people didn’t catch some strange disease, but were harmed by the people of the Saintess Sect, and this place became a site where the Saintess Sect people did filthy things.”
Qian Yizheng narrowed his eyes and spoke.
“This is the Ninth-grade Detoxification Pill; take it first.”
Qian Yizheng took out several Detoxification Pills and handed them to everyone present.
Although Min Yi’s account doesn’t specify how many years have passed, this place has always been used by the Saintess Sect, and it’s unknown what kind of toxins might still be here.
To be safe, it’s better to take the Detoxification Pill.
“Yes, yes, hurry up and take the Detoxification Pill. I can smell the strange odor already,” Little Nuonuo nodded repeatedly. A foul smell wafted through the air intermittently, extremely unpleasant.
Everyone: “…”
That is not a strange odor; it’s the stench from the corpses atop the pile that haven’t fully decayed yet, still emitting a pungent smell.
An Yilu took out several masks from his Qiankun Bag and handed them to everyone.
“Put them on to block this awful smell. You… make do with this.” He hesitated a bit before handing a mask to Min Yi.
The masks he brought were meant for children, not fitting well on an adult’s face, but at least they could block the odor.
Anyways, there were only them here, no need to worry about anyone seeing and feeling embarrassed; making do would work.
“Are so many skeletons meant to feed the Blood-sucking Bats?” Qian Yizheng posed his question, wondering if those bats needed so many skeletons.
Additionally, as he knew, Blood-sucking Bats don’t merely feed on blood; they also consume human flesh. One corpse could provide food for them for quite a long time.
“Impossible, there must be something bigger being nurtured,” Qian Yizheng shook his head.
With so many skeletons that one couldn’t see the peak of the corpse mountain, it’s impossible they’re merely for feeding bats. Could those bats have been sustained for thousands of years?
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, Min Yi felt his vision blur.
“Did you see that? Are the skeletons over there moving? Am I seeing things?”
There’s no air flow here, and those skeletons are stacked layer upon layer. How could the ones beneath start moving? He suspected he was seeing things.
“You’re not seeing things, I saw it too.”
Following the direction he pointed, Qian Yizheng and the others saw a slight movement of skeletons.
“Skeletons, how can they move?”
Though they were still children, they didn’t feel afraid, just confused.
