Chapter 79: Dormant Them
Stench!
As the rubble exploded, revealing the hole below, Donald was about to take a few steps closer to check the situation, when he immediately smelled an unbearable and disgusting odor.
"It doesn't seem like a good place here. ”
Using the wind elemental spell to blow away the stench in front of him, Donald retreated a little helplessly.
"It should be that the flesh has rotted and has been locked in a confined space for many years, which makes this place cough cough, no, I'm a chef, I have to stand farther away, if you still want to rely on me to cook in the future. ”
Anthony said as he stepped back, in his opinion that facing this kind of place was more challenging than fighting in the previous Ghost Tide.
"Lilo, I'm afraid you'll have to go down by yourself this time, we're nearby, and if there's any danger, we'll be the first to help. ”
Lilo is an undead spirit, and she can close off her human senses whenever and wherever she wants, because she doesn't have to breathe at all, and naturally she doesn't feel the stench.
Actually, without further ado, Lilo was already walking towards the hole that had been blown out over there.
And Donald was not idle, took out the wolfhound scroll, and summoned a wolfhound to follow behind Lilo as his own eyes, if there was really an accident in the cave, he would naturally not stand idly by.
The inscription activated, and Donald closed his eyes and leaned against the stone, and immediately a piece of backward grass appeared in front of him, as well as the "tall" back of Lilo in front of him.
The wolfhound is only one lap larger than the average earth dog, so the angle of view is low, but it doesn't affect it much.
"It's a strange hole, and I can be sure it's not a basement or some kind of secret warehouse or something. ”
In order to let other people also have a general understanding of the situation, Donald worked part-time as an announcer, dictating what he saw to the three people next to him.
Through the wolfhound's vision, he could see the irregular shape at the edge of the hole, which he had not blown open, and although the power of the blasting inscription was great, it was not large enough to blow a deep layer of earth into an internal cavity.
"There is a blockage at the entrance of the cave, I saw stone bricks and some sundries from inside, it should have been blocked by someone in an organized way, if nothing else, it should be someone from the Emerald County Government, some stones have a strange shape, semi-circular arc, large fragments"
The whole cave entrance is not directly exposed because the external stones are blown up, and there are all kinds of debris piled up under the stones, which should be specially moved here to plug these things, but it is not tightly blocked, it can only be said that the vicinity of the cave entrance is sealed, so that it is easy to cover the top with some broken stones for cover.
Relying on Lilo's "violent demolition", a large number of stones were directly carried by her from the inside of the cave to the outside, and soon cleared a hole that was barely passable for people to pass through.
As the sunlight shone in, Donald soon noticed that some of the inner stones were special, different from the previous upper stones, and many broken stones with sleek curves could be seen going down.
"Anthony, you were right in your previous thoughts!"
Further down, Donald's face suddenly became serious, and he saw that there were severed limbs and severed arms between the cracks in the stones
It wasn't a great experience, but it was definitely impressive.
Donald now somewhat regrets why he used the Wolfhound Inscription Scroll himself.
The rough and jumble of stones squeezed the flesh and blood, and Donald could even imagine what had happened here at the time.
He wasn't sure if the "flesh filling" was still breathing when it was thrown down the cavern along with the stones, but in any case, this kind of crude desecration of corpses was not so acceptable to normal people.
Perhaps because it had been buried underground, the flesh and blood of the corpses here had not completely melted, and many of the bone racks still had brown shriveled muscles sticking to them, and even Donald had seen a few heads that were still fleshy.
Even in the sunlight, they exude a hideous and dark aura all the time.
"These are supposed to be the corpses of the people in the town, using them as materials to fill this cave, so it can be seen that the situation was very urgent at that time, what was it that made them so panicked that they did such a thing by desecrating corpses?"
As mentioned earlier, much of the world places great importance on the placement of the dead, and the desecration of corpses is a very serious crime in many areas of faith.
In recent terms, the previous Morning Light Sect is a typical representative of this.
Donald didn't know much about all the strange phenomena he had seen so far after entering the ruins, and his quick thinking made him vaguely seem to have touched some clues, but he really had to think about it for a while and had no clue, so he could only have a headache in vain.
Lilo completely ignored these things, corpses were not too ordinary in her eyes, and she still took care of herself to clean up the stones and go down, and the movements were getting faster and faster.
It wasn't until Lilo actually stepped on the ground or water of the cave that Donald realized why the hole was here.
"Well!"
Donald's voice suddenly raised.
Yes, he was sure that this place was originally a well, and the broken semi-circular stones he had seen before were obviously the broken walls of the well, as evidenced by the water that was gradually flowing out of the piled up of rubble.
Although the flow was not large, Donald was certain that the place was a cave with an underground waterway.
"Wait, Jing Liluo told me before that as long as you don't drink the water in the ruins, you will be fine, and there is no river around this town, and the water must rely on the underground river and the well here, which means that the root of the problem is here, and the problem is in this well!"
Donald had just discovered the problem, and he thought he would find out more, but then he realized that he was thinking too much.
Controlling the wolfhound to sway from side to side, there was nothing but rubble.
Lilo had already begun to absorb the special energy she needed.
There is no specific location, as if these special energies have already existed in this cave**.
Surprisingly smooth.
When Donald saw those corpses and rubble, he was actually a little worried that there might be some kind of monster in the cave** or something similar to the resentment collection he had encountered in the wasteland before, and he was ready to go over to help, who knew that it would go so well.
In fact, Donald thought too much, since the Emerald County government dared to let this place idle and not send people to guard it, it was naturally confident that nothing would happen here.
Or that the existence of ghosts, ghosts, and grudges is their caretaker.
Either way, something extraordinary that once appeared in the ruins of the plague must have been resolved.
Now is not a war era, more than ten years, if the Emerald County feels that it can't be controlled, it can be reported to the Lane Empire, and if it can't be solved by itself, can't the Imperial Government's Heterogeneous Bureau still solve it?
"We came too late, and now we want to trace back to what happened back then and dig out the truth, I'm afraid it's impossible. ”
Looking at Lilo, who began to have gray air currents around her in view, Donald was naturally very happy about her recovery, but he still felt a little sorry for missing the truth behind the ruins of the epidemic.
Donald doesn't know what he's missing yet.
Some things will disappear in the dust with the passage of time,
There are also some existences, even if they have been dormant for an unknown amount of time, when the right time appears.
They're going to make a comeback!
