Chapter 81: Dried Corpse
Xiao Ning was dragged to the wasteland by Ealing Ruth, and when they arrived at the scene, the place was already surrounded by a circle of people.
"Get out of the way!
Yilin Ruth shouted, and squeezed into the innermost part with Xiao Ning.
When Xiao Ning saw the scene inside, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
That thing seems to be a corpse! a human corpse!
The corpse, covered in a white cloth, looked like it had been air-dried.
The corpse's hands, clenching its chest, and on its chest, a crystal cross was inserted!
At the top of the cross, there is a blue gemstone the size of a walnut!
Illuminated by the sun's rays, this blue gemstone shines brightly.
"Are you here? Could this be a vampire?"
Chen Ling and Chen Xue were also at the scene, Chen Ling stared at the cross on the chest of the dried corpse, and said curiously.
"Vampires, you think you're reading fantasy novels!"
Xiao Ning smiled and shook his head.
The owner of this corpse probably committed some mistake in his life, so he was punished to be crucified.
This was a very common thing in ancient Europe.
It's just that it's a little strange for such a corpse to appear on a desert island.
Could it be that a long time ago, Europeans were stranded on this desert island?
This group of Europeans is a group of people who believe in God? One of their companions betrayed God and was killed by them?
All of this was Xiao Ning's conjecture, and Xiao Ning didn't know how to explain this corpse.
"Burn it, keep farming. Xiao Ning waved his hand.
It's just a corpse, there's nothing to tangle about, just burn it.
So they gathered firewood, put the body on the firewood, and lit it.
However, in the midst of the raging fire, the corpse was not even ignited!
Until all the firewood was burned, the body was still intact!
"Oh yes, what's going on? This can't really be a vampire, right? The corpse of a vampire can't be burned!"
Chen Ling felt a little frightened in his heart, and couldn't help but hide behind Chen Xue's back.
"Superstition!"
Xiao Ning gave Chen Ling a blank look, then stepped forward, kicked the ashes away, and pulled the corpse out with a wooden stick.
Xiao Ning narrowed his eyes and said, "It should be the reason for this cloth on his body!"
"This cloth is probably made of flame-retardant materials!" Xiao Ning said.
Xiao Ning took a hoe from the hand of a person next to him and tried to use the hoe to pull the cloth on the corpse apart.
However, the cloth was a little tight, so Xiao Ning called a few more people to help.
It took a lot of effort to finally pull off the strip of cloth that was wrapped around the corpse.
On the body of this dried corpse, the clothes have not completely decayed, and through the clothes, it seems that this is still a certain prince and nobleman!
On this dress, there are also small flowers and epaulettes, which are very similar to the ancient European aristocratic clothes that Xiao Ning has seen on TV.
"Burn it. "Xiao Ning is once again igniting.
This time, the corpse was burned cleanly, and Xiao Ning asked people to collect some of the ashes and set up a grave elsewhere, which can be regarded as a respect for the dead.
As for the crystal cross, Xiao Ning kept it for himself.
This thing, like the flame retardant cloth, is very fire-resistant, and it may be of great use in the future.
"Get on with your work. Xiao Ning waved his hand and turned to leave.
But he hadn't gone far before he heard a burst of exclamations, as if something had been dug up!
Xiao Ning hurriedly ran back to look, and as a result, he saw a dried corpse again!
This dried corpse is exactly the same as the one before!
On the chest, too, there is a crystal cross!
"Keep digging for me!"
Xiao Ning squinted, and did not remember to burn the dried corpse, but ordered people to continue to expand and excavate with this as the center.
"Dig up another one!"
Within minutes, a third dried corpse was dug up.
"I've dug it out too!"
Ilyimia shouted, and she joined in the digging.
Soon, the fifth, the sixth, and the seventh ......
Dried corpse after corpse after corpse was exhumed.
On each corpse, a crystal cross was inserted.
Xiao Ning was shocked in his heart, don't want it, so far, no less than thirty such corpses have been dug up.
What kind of place is this? Could it be that it is a group of tombs in ancient times?
"Pull the cloth off!"
Xiao Ning ordered to pull off all the cloths on the corpses that had been dug up.
Soon, a corpse with strips of cloth stripped of it appeared in front of Xiao Ning's eyes.
The clothes on these people are almost all aristocratic clothes!
"The tomb of the prince and noble?"
Xiao Ning's mind is very confused now, what does the appearance of these corpses represent?
Not to mention its own origin, just appearing on this desert island seems very weird.
Could it be that this desert island originally belonged to the European plate, and later became independent and floated here because of some crustal movement?
And it just so happened that the cemetery of a European nobleman was on this desert island, drifting out with the desert island?
This is the only reasonable explanation that Xiao Ning can think of at present.
If this is the case, then the origin of this desert island can be solved!
"What about these corpses?" Chen Ling asked.
"It's all burned!"
"The others continued to dig, and they turned around for me, and burned all the corpses that were dug up!"
Xiao Ning gave the order, and he didn't bother to investigate the origin of these corpses, anyway, they are all in the past, what matters at the moment is to reclaim the wasteland, and other things are not important.
However, everyone dug up for three days and three nights, and in the end, there were thousands of corpses dug up!
The appearance of these thousands of corpses made everyone in the Yilin tribe panic, they never thought that there were so many dead corpses around their tribe!
For a time, some rumors began to spread within the Ilin tribe.
Some people accuse that the reclamation of wasteland is against the laws of nature and should be stopped immediately!
Some people shouted, Xiao Ning is a foreigner, he shouldn't point fingers at them, Xiao Ning's appearance will bring bad luck to the Yilin clan!
Although Xiao Ning relied on his own strength to convince many Yilin people, there were still some Yilin people who were jealous of Xiao Ning and couldn't see his goodness.
Now, it is just through the matter of the corpse that Xiao Ning is touched and Xiao Ning is taken the opportunity to knock Xiao Ning off the altar!
However, no matter how those jealous villains shouted, it was the patriarch Yi Linfeng who made the final decision!
After two days of uproar, Yi Linfeng stood up and made a clear statement.
Wasteland, keep reclaiming!
Everything, obey Xiao Ning's command!
Yi Lin Feng's strong statement made some red-eyed villains in the Yi Lin clan stop.
At the same time, Xiao Ning was also very satisfied, and Yi Linfeng slowly believed in himself.
