Chapter 147

In addition to the white bones under his feet, there were more dried corpses on the bronze walls on both sides of the front corridor.

After a few more steps forward, I found that a pair of bronze statues appeared in front of me, although these bronze statues still looked like nine-tailed people, but they were a little different from what we had seen before.

We found that the upper body of the two bronze statues was missing, as if they had been split alive with a sharp weapon, and there were traces of sharp blades everywhere, indicating that there may have been a fierce battle here in ancient times.

Many people died in the battle, as can be seen from the bones on the ground, the broken bronze statues, and the many stumbling knife marks on the bronze walls.

I suddenly thought of the Fatqiu Heavenly Official, who was wearing armor and holding the Heavenly Sword.

In the distant past, perhaps it was the Faqiu Heavenly Official who led a group of Jinjin Lieutenants to come here, and then encountered unexpected dangers, resulting in the entire army being wiped out in this place, and finally he had no way to walk, and he picked up the Heavenly Sword and committed suicide.

Of course, these are just associations I made based on the remains at the scene.

"It's so tragic! This is supposed to be an ancient battlefield! What kind of danger caused so many people to die? Along the way, there were corpses everywhere, and these corpses added up to at least a thousand. Sakurai Shika muttered to herself when she saw the scattered bones, as if she was also curious about the cause of these people's deaths.

However, no one knows how the owner of these corpses died, and those scattered bones will not tell us the answer themselves.

In addition to the bones of Bai Sensen, there were rusty and rotting swords on the ground.

The weapons were scattered on the ground in a very messy manner, and it seemed that they had encountered unexpected danger at that time, and the scene was chaotic.

Judging by the scattered bones and rusty weapons on the ground, as well as the scarred sword marks on the bronze walls, the group of people who came here must have encountered great fear and died in a panic.

It's just strange that except for the corpse of the Faqiu Heavenly Official I saw at the beginning, none of these bones on the ground are complete, and the dried corpses leaning on both sides of the bronze wall are covered with thousands of holes, as if they have been eaten by some insects.

All these bones on the ground were shattered into bone chips, which is more accurate to describe as bone dregs.

"How the hell did these people die?" I looked at the scene in front of me and couldn't help but wonder in my heart.

"Could it be that after these people came here back then, they encountered the kind of people of the Western Queen Mother clan depicted in the bronze statue, and all of them were killed by these alien races living underground?" Sakurai Zika said with some uncertainty beside her.

She and I thought together, we have indeed seen the traces of the activities of the West Queen Mother here, along the way, these bronze statues, murals are more of the image of the West Queen Mother.

Xi Chen, who we met before, and the instigators behind the group of demon soldiers near the Reincarnation Lake, were all members of the Western Queen Mother clan of the Nine-Tailed Human Body.

I think what Sakurai Shika said makes some sense, but these bones are incomplete, and all of them have turned into bone slag, which suddenly makes me think of something.

I once read a scientific report that carnivores such as tigers and lions have this indigestible bone residue in their excrement.

I told Sakurai Shika my inference, and Sakurai Shika nodded and said, "Now it seems that the scattered bone fragments on the ground can only be explained in this way!" These bone slags may be the excrement produced by some kind of monster in the Huainan Demon Tomb after eating people. I just don't know what kind of monster it is, actually feeding on people? Are they a group or just one? And having killed so many people at once, how big of their appetite should be? ”

Sakurai Zika asked me rhetorically: "If you deduce that Faqiu Tianguan and a group of people encountered a monster here that eats people and does not spit out bones, logically speaking, that monster should also be near this space." But now that the space is quiet, we haven't encountered the man-eating monster, so could it be that those monsters and the group of people have finally died together......"

"Judging from the clues at the scene, all of them were killed, and none of them got out alive, and I think the man-eating monster is still alive, even watching us somewhere in the dark at this moment......" I reminded from the sidelines.

After saying this, Sakurai Zika looked at me with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Sakurai Zixiang looking at me with a stunned face, I was a little embarrassed, touched my nose and said, "Ah Zi, am I not right?" ”

"Nope! This argument of yours may be the only plausible explanation. Sakurai Zixiang nodded and said: "In this Huainan Demon Tomb, we have seen the stingfish, the fox, and the drought fish before, even if the shadow ghost encounters any monsters again, I will not be too surprised." ”

Sakurai's various inferences made me feel that the road ahead was bleak and unpredictable, and I couldn't help but feel a little desperate and sat on the ground.

I was hungry and thirsty after such a long journey, and we could sit down and recuperate while we had time, and think about what to do next.

Shika Sakurai took out some compressed biscuits from her satchel and told me to eat some.

Sakurai and I sat under the bronze statue of the nine-tailed human body, and the two of us reached out around the bronze oil lamp to keep warm.

"Ah Zi, we have to be careful on the next road, if you find anything wrong, tell me quickly! I always feel very quirky about this place. I munched on the compressed biscuit as I said to Shika Sakurai.

Seeing Sakurai Zixiang agree, I plan to take a good rest and replenish my strength.

Sakurai Zika deliberately flicked the only bronze oil lamp used to illuminate it a few times, so that the fire in the bronze oil lamp was not so violent, and basically kept a little flame.

That little green flame had no heating effect, and it was also a psychological comfort for me to surround Sakurai Zixiang, and according to Sakurai Zixiang, the grease in this bronze oil lamp was not kerosene, but corpse oil squeezed from the dead man.

I wore little clothes on my body, and when I escaped from the reincarnation lake, I played machismo and took off my only shirt to wipe the nosebleed for Sakurai Shika, and as for the lower body, it was still a big pair of pants, and I shivered with cold.

But in front of Sakurai Zixiang, I'm not too embarrassed, after all, we are the same family of the corpse chaser faction, and we are all senior sisters and younger brothers in terms of seniority, and we are all our own people, so there is nothing embarrassing or embarrassing.
