Hearing Lei Zi's description of the scene inside, Qin Yujie and I couldn't help but feel a palpitation.

Thousands of withered arms, that means thousands of people have died here, and it's an unimaginable disaster.

"Mass graves?"

Qin Yujie frowned, and a look of horror flashed in her eyes: "How can there be so many corpses here?" ”

"Is it an ancient sacrifice? But what ritual requires thousands of sacrifices? ”

Hearing Qin Yujie's analysis, I immediately shook my head: "Not necessarily, I don't think it may be the sacrifice that killed so many people, maybe it has something to do with the Yellow River flood."

"Maybe the people who died during the flood control period of Dayu may be buried under the sediment of the Yellow River."

"We'll have to go deeper and see what's hidden in the depths of the rift."

I said firmly, and at the same time motioned for Lei Zi to take the lead, and we continued to move forward.

Carefully digging deep along the crack, the glow of the Thunder Torch swayed in the darkness.

As we went deeper, the temperature around us gradually dropped, and the cold atmosphere came to our faces.

Soon, we came to the "mass grave" that Lei Zi had just discovered.

The sight was staggering, with piles of dry arms scattered all over the place, like a graveyard of horror.

"These arms...... How did you gather here? Qin Yujie's voice carried a hint of consternation.

I crouched down and looked closely at the arms, which were dry but still faintly visible.

"Look, these people are no ordinary dead."

I said in a deep voice: "Through examination, I found that the corpse in it was not a normal death or a drowning death, but a death after being sucked by something to suck flesh and blood. ”

Lei Zi nodded, obviously he also saw these problems, so he continued to add: "That's right, and I found some other clues when I explored deeply. ”

As he spoke, he took out a photo from his backpack and handed it to me.

The photo shows an ancient altar with many withered arms, which bear a striking resemblance to the scene in front of you.

"This photo ...... Where did you find it? I asked eagerly.

Lei Zi pointed to a hidden corner deep in the crack and said, "I found an ancient box there, and the picture is in it. ”

"There are a few other items in the chest, all of which look ancient."

I stood up and stared firmly into the depths of the chasm, where everything was strange and terrifying.

But we can't stop there, the secret of Dayu's tomb may be hidden in this mass grave.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm the shock and uneasiness in his heart, trying to think about some possible reason hidden in this.

The "mass grave" composed of dry arms in front of me, as well as the photo of the ancient altar, all reveal an amazing secret hidden in Dayu's tomb.

After thinking about it for a while, I still proposed, "Let's go out first, and bring the lone wolf and the villager in, I don't feel at ease if the two of them are outside." ”

Lei Zi and Qin Yujie nodded at the same time, and the three of us slowly retreated back the same way, and it didn't take long for the crack to come out.

The lone wolf and the burly man finally showed a little relief on their faces when they saw us return so soon.

"What's wrong? Is there any danger encountered? ”

The lone wolf stepped forward in a few steps and asked a little nervously, very concerned about Lei Zi's safety.

I shook my head, briefly described the situation inside the rift, and said, "It's complicated inside, we need you all to go inside." ”

The burly man frowned, as if he was a little hesitant, and he had a completely timid and fearful expression.

But the lone wolf nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, I'll go with you, anyway, I'm going to cross this underground river." ”

The burly man saw that the four of us had expressed his attitude, but he was the only one who still looked hesitant, gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

So, the five of us entered the rift again, following the previous route, the scene becoming more and more eerie as we went deeper into the surrounding area.

Soon, we came to the location of the mass grave again, and the scene suddenly shocked the lone wolf who has been fighting on the battlefield all year round.

The burly man who followed the four of us turned even more pale, covered his mouth and turned his back to not dare to look.

"Whew"

"Here...... How can there be so many arms? The burly man asked in horror as he held back his disgust.

I said in a deep voice: "The owners of these arms may be the people who died during the flood control period of Dayu. ”

"Maybe they were gathered here by some kind of force, and they became a mass grave piled up here."

"And these withered arms have lost their spirits, and I suspect most of them have been robbed by some kind of evil spirit."

Anyway, I took out a photo that Lei Zi found earlier, and looked at it carefully, why is there a photo here?

Could it be that this picture was left by the last group of people who came in and found the altar here? But it's not quite like that.

The altar in the photo is exactly the same as the one deep in the crack, and the withered arms are neatly arranged, as if performing some kind of ritual.

"These arms...... Was it for sacrifice? Qin Yujie looked at the photo in my hand and asked guessingly.

I nodded and said, "It is very likely that during the period of Dayu's flood control, the Yellow River flooded, and the people were killed and injured countless times. ”

"In order to pray for peace and success in water control, they may perform some mysterious rituals."

"And the severed arms of these dried corpses may be sacrifices for sacrifices?"

The lone wolf frowned and said, "But it's too cruel to use so many people's arms as sacrifices, right?" ”

I sighed and said, "In ancient times, people used to do things that we can't understand now in order to survive and believe. ”

"It is not surprising that the owners of these arms may have been victims of the mysterious sacrificial rituals of the ancient tribes at that time."

The burly man finally stopped retching, his face softened slightly, and he was silent for a long time.

Then he shuddered and asked, "So what should we do now?" Continuing to dig deeper? ”

I looked at the depths of the crack, and a strong curiosity surged in my heart, the secret of Dayu's tomb may be hidden in this mass grave.

Even I have a hunch that as long as I continue to explore, I will definitely find the answer and reach the real Dayu tomb.

So, I said firmly: "Yes, of course, we must continue to explore deeply, the secret of Dayu's tomb is in front of you, and you can't just give it up." ”

When everyone heard this, except for the burly man, he didn't speak, and Lei Zi and the others all nodded in agreement.

I ignored the burly man, straightened my mood a little, and continued to head deeper into the crack.

Finally, we came to the end of the crack, and a huge stone gate appeared in front of us, carved with ancient words and patterns.

Qin Yu stared at the stone gate, and then Cai Jie exclaimed, "This ...... Could it be the entrance to Dayu's tomb? ”
