Chapter 19: Bones

Early morning. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Dryad Lair.

Since the sun does not shine on the valley here, it is still very dark even during the day.

Fortunately, there is still light in the valley, which is enough for an ordinary person to see things clearly.

I don't know if it's because there is no sunlight, the yin in the place where he lives is too much, or there is something else weird, Chen Li woke up early.

After a night's rest, his body gradually eased up.

Although he is still somewhat weak, he has no problem moving.

......

As soon as he opened his eyes, Chen Li saw the layout of the room clearly through the faint light from outside the room.

It's just that as soon as he saw the scene in the house, he was startled when he just woke up and his eyes were still a little fluttering, and he woke up in an instant.

He didn't expect that the place where he lived overnight was full of human bones.

Scattered and scattered, all over the place.

Some of the corpses are not yet decomposed, some have only bones left, some are still sitting in the same position as before, and some have nothing left.

It's no wonder that when he entered the house last night, he smelled the stench and blood.

Both of these smells should be emitted by these bones.

It's just that for some reason, the smell is not too strong, and it can be tolerated.

After seeing the scene in the house clearly and reacting, Chen Li was a little nervous and a little worried.

Nervousness is naturally due to the body's natural reaction, and as for worry, it is for the sake of one's own life.

He knew very well that there were germs in such an environment.

If you continue to stay in this room, you may die of the plague, even if you are not killed by the dryad.

It's a pity that although he understands this, he can't leave this room.

Looking at the closed door, I could only bear it helplessly.

......

However, in addition to worrying about the germs brought by the rotting corpses, Chen Li also found other discoveries in these bones.

He saw that many of the corpses that had not yet decomposed were wearing Taoist robes or monk's robes, indicating that the identity of these people was either Buddha or Tao.

This and the message, in Chen Li's opinion, are worth thinking about, and may help him.

Obviously, if you want to get some help, though, you'll have to watch carefully.

As soon as his mind turned, Chen Li tore off a piece of cloth from his underwear and immediately covered his mouth with it.

Then, by the glimmer of light, he looked at the bones.

The bones were scattered and not placed together, except that they were relatively clean near the doorway.

In the rest of the place, there are some traces of corpses.

Either bones, rotten clothes, or a fairly intact dried corpse.

Of course, there are also a few corpses that are decomposing.

Walking between these things, Chen Li's face was not very good-looking, although he had some souls from his previous life, and he was still quite mature, but in the face of such a scene, he was still somewhat uncomfortable.

If it weren't for the opportunity to reluctantly endure the nausea and fear, he would have squatted back at the door and vomited.

Even if I barely hold back, my stomach is still a little tumbling.

......

"Click......"

Due to the messy situation in the house, Chen Li would step on the bones on the ground from time to time, and the crisp and strange sound immediately sounded in the house, which was particularly infiltrating.

When encountering such a situation, Chen Li could only confess in his heart, and now he didn't have the strength to care, he stepped on other people's bodies.

After a few laps, Chen Li really made some discoveries.

After his observation, most or all the bones in the house were basically monks.

It's either a Taoist priest or a monk.

This also made Chen Li have some conjectures, these bones here are very likely to be the remains of those mages who came to Lanruo Temple to subdue demons.

It is very likely that the opponent was defeated or captured by the Dryad, and then locked up here, and then died.

As for why he died here, but was not devoured by the Dryad, Chen Li couldn't think of a reason.

Other than that, he found no more information.

There was basically nothing on the bodies of these monks and Taoists except for a piece of clothing, and some even had their clothes rotten.

Nothing useful was left at all.

Seeing this, Chen Li was somewhat regretful, if he could find a few magic talismans or magic weapons or something, maybe he could still help himself.

Of course, he also thought that if it was true that these dead mages were all captives of the dryads, it was impossible for them to leave anything behind.

Not to mention the magic weapon, it is already very good to be able to leave a piece of clothing.

......

After searching like this, but there was no gain, Chen Li was a little discouraged.

By the time he drew his attention from the bones in the room, a long time had passed.

It's just that during this time, no one, or female ghosts, passed by here.

This made him frown even more.

It felt as if the dryad and the female ghost in the valley had forgotten him, and something was wrong.

All he could feel was silence in the valley.

......

Could it be that the dryad has forgotten about me and wants me to fend for myself here?

Like these corpses?

Chen Li couldn't help but think like this.

But after thinking about it, he shook his head again, if this was the case, the dryad would definitely not bother to bring him back to his lair, and also ordered Xiaoqing to suppress him.

Instead, he would have been killed long ago.

Thinking about it this way, the dryad should not let him die for the time being, but what is the plan?

Shaking his head, Chen Li could only guess about these out of thin air, and as for what the other party thought, he had no way to confirm it.

What he should be paying attention to now is how he survived these few days of detention.

If he is really like these predecessors and dies here, it is not Chen Li's willingness.

Thinking like this, Chen Li returned to the place where he had been last night and sat down, looking at the bones in the room, and fell into deep thought.

For the time being, it is better not to consume physical strength.

......

Just when Chen Li was suffering in the hut that was darker than the prison, the Dryad was still punishing Xiao Qian.

With Xiao Qian's near-betrayal behavior, it was naturally impossible for the tree demon to spare her by killing only one Ning Caichen.

Xiao Qian was hanging in the air at this time, the dress on her body was already messy, and there were many whip marks on the ghost body, and the whole person was pale and very embarrassed.

From time to time, whips were struck on her body.

"Bang! bang!"

Whipping like this, since returning last night, Xiao Qian has been whipped by the dryad with a special rattan all night.

Just looking at Xiao Qian's clenched lip and the weak appearance of the ghost's body, you know the pain of this punishment.

The dryad is ruthless, and he has no feelings at all, and at this time, his cruel character is undoubtedly revealed.

Although she seems to like Xiao Qian on weekdays and seems to be very close to Xiao Qian, she just uses a group of female ghosts as tools in her bones.

Even if there is a difference, it just depends on which tool is prettier, or which tool is more useful, and that's it.

Obviously, in her eyes, Xiaoqian is just a beautiful tool.

Once this tool does something that makes the owner unhappy, as the master's dryad, he naturally has to work hard to adjust it and let the tool remember the lesson.

......

"Okay, grandma, I'm going to retreat for a few days, Xiaoqian will stay here first, and you all go down. ”

Perhaps tired of watching, the dryad waved his hand to stop the female ghost who was whipping Xiao Qian.
