Chapter 139: The Burial Pit

"What!? And this is the case? ”

"It's serious."

The faces of Marcas's guards changed drastically, the silver-blooded family covered the sky in Marcas, and now that their people have been killed, it is estimated that the lord will be furious.

A guard hurriedly asked Bai Yan, "Are you sure it was the Black Thorns who did it?" ”

"Yes, it's true!" Bai Yan replied.

The guards immediately began to talk nonsense: "The people of the Black Thorns have just left, they shouldn't have gone far, and now they can catch up if they chase after them, if the lord blames them, we won't be able to get rid of it." ”

"No wonder I saw them in a hurry, it turned out that they were murderous."

"Let's divide into two ways, one goes to the underground ruins to confirm the scene, and the other goes to chase the black thorns." The captain of the guard said.

"Okay, that's it."

After the captain of the guard arranged the order, the guards set off quickly, not daring to be careless, and rode fast horses to chase the black thorns.

Bai Yan snickered in his heart, chase, chase, anyway, don't find yourself, Bai Yan said innocently: "Brother Bing, if it's okay, I'll leave first." ”

"Wait."

"Uh, is there anything else going on with this big brother?"

"We don't have enough manpower, can you go to the Hall of the Dead in Marcus and find the Priest of Verulus? He is responsible for recovering the bodies of the deceased. ”

"Okay, no problem." Bai Yan readily agreed.

Bai Yan found a carriage nearby and prepared to return to Makas City, which can be said to be the most common means of transportation in Tamria, and can be seen everywhere.

Ciri, Shihua, Michelle, plus Bai Yan and Kangna, there are three people and two dragons, and it is more convenient to take a carriage.

After the girls got into the car, Bai Yan also got into the car, but the body immediately sank, and the horses couldn't drag it.

The coachman said embarrassedly: "Guest, are you carrying any heavy objects?" I can't move in the carriage. ”

"Huh? That's right. Only then did Bai Yan react, his Thunder King spear weighed more than 1 ton, almost the weight of a car, and the horse could not be carried, so he had to consume a weight-reducing magic scroll before the carriage slowly drove towards Marcas City.

"This time it was a big deal, the spaceship was found, and the weapon was in hand."

The carriage was a little bumpy, and the round wheels bumped into some small stones from time to time, which made it uncomfortable to sit up, and everyone had to chat to divert their attention.

Shihua was very curious: "This weapon is not small, and I don't know what the principle is." ”

"Maybe it's a combination of science and magic, and the dwarves specialize in black technology." Bai Yan smiled bitterly, most of the magic worlds are set like this.

"Hee-hee, Captain, I'll just say I'm superAI, and you don't believe me." Ai-chan's holographic projection is active in mid-air.

"Yes, yes, I know that you are amazing, if you continue to maintain it like this, maybe you can change everyone's perception of you."

"Having said that, artificial intellectual disability is inherently defamatory, and if something goes wrong in the future report, it will be responsible."

"Yes, yes, I know you're amazing." Bai Yan said perfunctorily.

The group returned to Marcas, but Bai Yan still kept his promise and asked Shihua and the others to go back to the hotel first and go to the hall of the dead to find the priest by themselves.

*****

The Hall of the Dead is located in the most remote part of Makas City, and before he entered the door, Bai Yan smelled a foul smell, where would the place where the corpse be parked? The city of Marcus seems to have a habit of mummifying the dead, and the Hall of the Dead is where this is done.

In the dark room, only candles burned silently, and Verulus, dressed in hooded robes, was looking at a document in his hand with a sad face, muttering something in his mouth.

"Hello, are you the Priestess of Verulus?" Bai Yan stepped forward and asked.

The priest raised his head and frowned, "What's the matter with you?" ”

"There's a corpse that needs to be buried, please send someone to collect it, at the dwarf ruins, the guards asked me to inform you."

Verulus said unhappily: "Now that something big has happened in the Hall of the Dead, I can't take care of myself, what else can I bury!" ”

But after finishing speaking, Verulus's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Look at your appearance, you seem to have some skills, can you help me?" I'll pay you. ”

"What? What happened to the Hall of the Dead? Bai Yan asked rhetorically.

"I'm afraid it's a little creepy to talk about." Verulus said distressedly: "Recently, the newly buried deceased, for some reason, will be eaten, some limbs will be broken, some have their internal organs eaten, some have their arms eaten, I have carefully patrolled, I have not found any beast to do it, this matter is not good for me, in case the family of the deceased learns about this, they will report to the lord that I have mismanaged me, then I will be finished, especially the Silver Blood family, they will not let me go easily......"

Bai Yan smiled: "I see, you plan to let me help you find the beast that gnawed on the corpse, right, it's a trivial matter." ”

Verulus was overjoyed and handed a key to Bai Yan: "This is the key to the door of the Hall of the Dead, I hope you can do it as soon as possible, the morgue is in the back." ”

"Okay." Bai Yan is not helpful, or an errand runner, he just likes to hunt and adventure, just like a horror movie, looking for some excitement, so he agreed to help, now it is not early, according to common sense, it is a good time for beasts to infest.

Open the door and enter the eerie Hall of the Dead, a huge cavern that has been dug out by hand and where the inhabitants of Marcus City are buried when they die, and thousands of years later, it may become an archaeological ruin, an incredible burial pit.

Bai Yan couldn't help but shudder, the smell of this place was really disgusting, not to mention that he didn't know what kind of beast lurked in the dark.

The inside of the grotto was almost pitch black, with the bones of dead men on the left and right, and a cold breath blowing from the depths.

Bai Yan tried his best to control his footsteps and patrolled the dark tomb, but found nothing.

Just as Bai Yan was about to go home, there were some sounds in the dark, it was a slight footstep, Bai Yan was in good spirits, raised the torch, and ran along with the sound.

"Hehe, you are really brave, you smell death but are not afraid." A woman's gentle whisper suddenly came, echoing in the tomb**, far and near, unable to distinguish the specific location, extremely weird.

Is there anyone in this tomb? What the hell!?

Bai Yan stopped and said coldly: "Don't pretend to be a ghost there, you can't scare me." ”

Bai Yan held a multi-ton Thunder King spear in his hand, and if he shot it, the other party might die.

"Come on, I'm here, I know what you're looking for, and I don't intend to hide from you." The voice came again faintly, luring Bai Yan forward, as if the Kraken was seducing the voyager who was adrift on the sea.

Bai Yan was not afraid at all, strode forward, and after a corner, he suddenly found a shadow.

The woman smiled skillfully, and she said softly: "Oh, you look handsome, do you like the taste of human flesh?" ”
