Chapter 397: Corpses
When I first descended the cliff, the clouds were sparse, and I could still see the black-gray moss on the cliffs, but gradually, the fog was shrouded, and it was difficult to distinguish between the fingers, and only the sound of the whirring wind and the heavier and wetter air currents could be heard in my ears.

"I've really seen the undead!How can there be such a deep cliff?Next time I go to Maple Dew City, I'll definitely go to find it."
Merlin felt like she had been cheated by that old guy in Turin once again.
After descending for about a hundred meters, the sound of gurgling water was gradually heard below, and the fog gradually thinned.
The bottom of the cliff seems to be quite wide...... At least it was more than the top of the cliff, but now looking up to the sky, all I could see was a gray mist. If it weren't for the cliffs on both sides, it would be almost indistinguishable from the top. The sound of water that Merlin had just heard came from a small river running through the bottom of the cliff.
Judging by the map, it was time to head south, and Merlin released Longbottom and all of them, and then took out the bone horse herself to act as a mount...... It's a pity that the Phantom Pine Cat is still asleep, otherwise with this early warning expert, safety is more guaranteed.
The map is somewhat simple, but so is the path at the bottom of the cliff...... Just walk along the river and don't worry about taking a fork in the road.
The road is obviously getting narrower and narrower, and the mountain stream in the middle suddenly narrows and the water flow becomes faster, making a gurgling sound of water. The stones on both sides were wet with splashes, and the people walked up very slippery, and Merlin walked Longbottom and Victoria each blessed them with a blast to speed up their journey.
Suddenly, Yulundo, who was walking in the front, stopped, as if he had noticed something.
Oh, sure enough, there's something black whirring on the ground. Merlin rode over to take a look, frowning slightly...... It's not a rarity, it's seven skeletons. However, the seven skeletons were clearly not the bones of undead creatures, and they looked to be at least thousands of years old, with their muscles and hair long since turned to ashes, leaving only deep white bones and tattered clothes and armor.
But when Merlin got off her horse and pulled out the bones with her sword, she let out a low exclamation.
Among the clothes left behind by the seven people, three were wearing wizards' robes, which looked like two white-robed wizards, and the other three skeletons were obviously warriors, with thick bones and armor...... Although a long time has passed, the surface of the armor is still shiny, and it is clear that it is a fine product forged from the nectar of the legendary dwarves.
In the position of the chest of the warrior's armor, there was a coat of arms of a lion with the right front paw resting on the hilt of a sword...... This badge Merlin had seen before in the books of the Rubik Library, which was the emblem of a Lionheart Empire nearly 10,000 years ago. A warrior who can wear this emblem should at least be a royal guard.
There are also two people, looking at the clothing and equipment, it should be slender hands, the bowstrings of the two bows have long been broken, looking at the beautifully carved bow body and the handshake that has been sharpened quickly without patterns, it can be imagined that these two archers must be the strongest in the same profession.
Such an expedition was much stronger than the syphilis of today, and why did they come here, and why did they die here?
Merlin was a little curious, originally she wondered if Turin was fooling her, but now it seems that there is indeed another mystery under this cliff. What are these people here for, and why are they dying here?
What's even stranger is that Merlin found that there didn't seem to be any serious injuries to those bones, which I don't know what happened to me?
Although she is not in danger at the moment, a shadow has cast on Merlin's heart, and she has an inexplicable premonition...... Although this trip will not be empty, I am afraid that it will also encounter inexplicable dangers.
Merlin also took out the lightning gloves and put them on, in this inexplicable environment, there is a psychic alley with attack power, which undoubtedly has a better chance of survival.
She had a guess that the Turin hadn't been here, or had been, but not from this place...... The latter possibility is almost non-existent, since the map shows the direction where she came down.
"Old man Turin, when I have time to go to Maple Dew City, I will definitely tear down your old bones and broken shop!" Merlin was ruthless again.
……
"Ahh
In a small shop in Maple Dew City, a small witch suddenly sneezed, blowing up dust on the counter and splashing his face, and he blinked suspiciously...... Just now, in the midst of the gradual improvement, a full of hostility suddenly came from the darkness, which made him terrified. But after carefully looking around, the old wizard categorically thought that he must have had a nightmare just now.
……
Merlin and his party continued to move forward, and before they had gone 20 meters, they found another place of death, six skeletons at least a thousand years old had fallen to the ground, including at least one official wizard, two wizard apprentices and three warriors, and two wizard canes and some weapons that had long since decayed to the ground.
Further forward, there is another group of human skeletons, this group of explorers should have appeared in the past thousand years, they are still a combination of wizards and warriors, but they should seem to be more powerful than the previous groups.
What's going on here?
You know, even if there are humans on the undead plane here, it is extremely rare, and Merlin doesn't think these corpses are like people from the undead plane...... For example, the earliest corpses were found, the Lionheart Empire was an ancient empire in the wizarding world, she didn't think it would be such a coincidence, there was also a Lionheart Empire on the undead plane, and even the logo was the same.
One skeleton after another brought an extremely strong impact to Merlin, and those dead explorers were only stronger than Merlin in their lifetime, but they all died here silently. From the traces left at the scene, it can be seen that there is no sign of a fight, so what is the cause of the death of these explorers?
Don't...... Is this the grave of the explorer?
Or is there some curse?
Merlin's face was filled with a solemn look.
Further on, the road became narrower and narrower, the river was almost completely submerged at the bottom of the cliff, and the horses could no longer move on, and even Yurendo dismounted his dead horse and climbed forward against the cliff, while the two undead mounts were collected into the white ghost.
Merlin was surprised to find that the road was completely gone, and the cliffs in front of her were thousands of feet high, and the rushing river was sucked in by a crack in the ground. At a height of 20 meters above the ground, a large platform appeared, and at the end of the platform was a dark hole.
