Hearing my exclamation, everyone's relaxed state of mind immediately lifts up. They all rush over to dig through the bushes under their feet. Beneath the shrubs, a pale and rotten hand is exposed, covered with maggots that constantly wriggled, looking extremely disgusting.

Only half of the rotten hands were exposed, the rest were covered with soft soil. The sea crouched down to dig at the soil, and a corpse appeared in front of us.

It was probably buried under the soil by some unknown person, but there was sufficient rain water on the Wild Mountain, so it was washed out. Just now, I stepped on this person's hand, and that was why I fell to the ground!

"Mike?"

Zhu Yingqiong cried out in surprise. She recognized the Englishman, he must be one of Charles's team, she had cleaned up the soil on the corpse, although the corpse's face was a little rotten, but we could still see that he died peacefully, because there was a strange smile on his face, that was a smile!

The monk inspected the corpse and found that there were no wounds on the body. He frowned and said, "It's very strange, we haven't been wounded, how did we die?"

Fourth Uncle's face changed as he shouted, "Quick, dig through the surrounding soil and take a look!"

I know that he was worried that the old man would die here, so I quickly bent down to dig up the soil with the rest of the people. However, when we cleared up the weeds around the ground, all of their faces turned terrifyingly green, and we saw that it was a clearing of about ten meters in diameter, and after digging up the dirt, a dozen or so corpses laid scattered across the ground. They were all covered by the soil, but they were all shallow.

Some of the corpses were very rotten, some of them were not very rotten, and I could still make out the contours of their faces. Most of them were British, and only one or two of them were Chinese.

After all, the scene in front of me was too disgusting. My stomach was in turmoil, but I managed to endure it, and only Zhu Yingqiong, whose face was getting colder and colder, started to inspect all the corpses one by one. She did not make a sound, she was very quiet and calm!

I'm very curious, how did these people die here?

Could it be the same as before, that he was attacked by a monster?

Impossible, this area is already far away from the giant earthworms, the surroundings should still be dangerous, and looking at the scene, the bodies were all hastily buried, could it be that the remaining people buried these bodies?

If this place was dangerous, how would he have time to bury the body?

The monk looked at all the corpses, his face turning more and more serious, before finally saying: "Fourth Master, all these people did not die, they were not injured at all, they are perfectly fine, but the strange thing is that all of them had smiles on their faces right before they died, the feeling is that they died after reaching their limits!"

Hai Yang scolded, "Bullsh * t, so many people died together? What's with the smiles on everyone's faces? "

I also frowned. "It's a little outrageous. Logically speaking, they should have crossed over the giant earthworm before coming here to rest. Why would so many people suddenly die here?" Could it be that there is something dangerous about this place that can instantly take one's life? "

No one can answer my question, because our current location has already left the giant earthworm's territory, and the surroundings are very empty, there aren't many trees, and our vision is very clean, and we don't have any blind spots. If someone or some monster were to sneak attack us, we would be seen from a very far distance.

Therefore, these people had died in an extremely safe place!

Zhu Yingqiong said coldly: "There should be more who escaped, their corpses have been buried, meaning that they still have time to take care of them after encountering an accident."

Hai Yang said, "It's possible that he came back slowly to bury the body after the matter was settled."

The monk said straightforwardly: "Fourth Master, this place is not safe. We must leave immediately."

I also said, "That's right, Fourth Uncle, let's not care about how these people died. We should first find an extremely safe place for now, as the sky is about to turn dark."

Zhu Yingqiong said with her back facing me, "Is this place not safe? If we don't figure out what's going on, we might as well do the same. "

I thought to myself, even if I wanted to check, I wouldn't be able to find out. So many people died in this place at the same time, and none of them had any injuries.

Could it be that the Hades' hands were shaking when he was drawing up the Book of Life and Death, and all these people died in a single stroke?

Moreover, these corpses all had a common point. Every single one of them had a strange smile on their face. What was the reason for them to smile even after death?

The more I thought about it, the more creepy I felt. This place is too creepy, we can't stay here any longer.

The sea did not say anything, but Zhu Yingqiong felt that we should first investigate the source of this matter. In the end, only then did the Fourth Uncle make the final decision: "Right now, everything we say is unnecessary, the Wild Mountain is extremely dangerous, so we need to be extra careful with every step we take. If we do not clarify what is happening here, then it is very likely that we will encounter the same situation on our journey, and the same mistakes will not be made.

Fourth Uncle has already spoken, we did not continue arguing. Furthermore, what Fourth Uncle said made sense, if we did not investigate this matter clearly, we might encounter this kind of situation on our way.

But can you really find out if you stay here?

I maintained my doubts and started to carefully inspect the corpses of the monks, while Zhu Yingqiong followed right beside us. Every time she looked at a corpse, she would call out a name, it seemed that these people had a deep friendship with her at Charles's company.

Looking at it, Zhu Yingqiong's face suddenly changed. She seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly got up and leaned towards the edge. I anxiously shouted, "There's a giant earthworm's territory in front, what are you planning to do?"

Zhu Yingqiong ignored me, walked to the edge of the battlefield with an anxious face, and then stopped and walked step by step towards us, until she arrived at the location where we discovered the corpse. |

She shook her head, seemingly sensing that something was wrong. She immediately turned around and walked to the edge, then ran back. However, she still shook her head as she continued to run back and forth. No one knew what she was doing.

Hai Yang asked, "Sanjin, is Fake Foreigner crazy? Running around trying to lose weight? "

The monk said while smoking, "Did she discover something?"

Hai Yang waved her hand. "Discover my ass. Don't you see that she is measuring the land? Was she going to help these corpses build their graves? Damn, could it be that she's too depressed and wants to break out of the world to build a house here to live in seclusion? "

I thought to myself, 'This guy from the sea is full of nonsense, his mouth is full of bullshit. Who would be willing to live in such a shitty place?'

After we watched for a while, Zhu Yingqiong was still running back and forth. I was stunned, afraid that the ocean was right, she had been provoked to the point where she is as crazy as Ji Xiang?

Just as I was about to stop her, Fourth Uncle said to me, "Don't panic. She might have thought of something."

Hai Yang stood up and shouted, "Big sister, what are you doing? If you want to build a house, you don't need to stay here. Sanjin's house in Zhejiang is big enough, if you don't want to, I also have an ancestral house in my hometown. Although it's in the countryside, the scenery is beautiful and the air is good.

Zhu Yingqiong completely ignored him. After walking back and forth two rounds, her face suddenly revealed a look of excitement, as she walked to our side and asked: "My team, they should have also been rushing over from the Black Lands previously right?"

I knew she was talking about the dead Englishmen, so I said, "It must be coming. Why are you asking?"

Zhu Yingqiong then asked, "If we were them, and escaped here with a narrow escape, what would the first thing be?"

Hai Yang was the first to say, "Do you even need to ask? He will definitely run away. Damn it, I almost died inside. If I ran out, would I still be waiting for death?"

The waiter who had just finished puking also said, "My first thought is to leave this place immediately."

The monk frowned, "It's all running away, there's no need to think too much about it!"

Fourth Uncle said: "If we hadn't discovered these corpses, we would have already left this place. Everyone's first thought should be the same.

Zhu Yingqiong looked at me again. I immediately took my place as an Englishman and managed to escape from danger with my life on the line. I wanted to escape immediately, but just as the words were about to reach my mouth, I suddenly thought of something else.

F * ck, after we escaped from the giant earthworm's territory, the first thing we did wasn't to immediately flee, but to sit down and rest!

Thinking of this, my heart inexplicably felt a chill. Could it be that these corpses died due to resting?

I looked at Zhu Yingqiong and whispered, "Are you saying that when we came out, we didn't run over and instead sat down to rest?

I think this is too absurd. Resting for a bit and then people die, and it's not just one or two people, it's a dozen people. Doing it at the same time when a dozen people are resting is too unbelievable!

Besides, we're also resting. Don't tell me we're also dead?

But Zhu Yingqiong said: "Other than resting, we also did something else at the same time!"

Hai Yang anxiously said, "I said, can you not keep us guessing?" If you have to say it quickly, say it! "

Zhu Yingqiong glanced at the ocean, and immediately said: "Actually, most people's thoughts are the same. After escaping, they would definitely leave this place immediately, but we did not do so, but immediately went to rest in place, and not only us, I'm afraid my dead friends are also the same. Furthermore, they also did the same thing as us, not just resting, they even smiled!"

When I heard this, my heart thumped, and my scalp went numb!

Looking back, when we escaped, we were indeed resting on the spot. Furthermore, when we survived the disaster, everyone laughed. Not only us, but this group of English people must also be resting and laughing happily while they escaped.

However, the moment they started laughing, they all died together. This was also the reason why all the corpses had smiles on their faces. After dying, their limbs would be stiff and their muscles would harden.

But what kind of thing could kill more than a dozen people in the instant everyone was laughing?

One had to know that these foreigners all carried a large amount of firearms. Even if they met a ferocious beast, it was impossible for them to lose more than ten people!

Could it be that this isn't related to resting, but rather to the place where he sat down? However, upon careful consideration, something didn't seem right. After escaping, he sat down on the spot, this is a very common occurrence, so why would he die at the same time because of where he sat?

The more I think about it, the more unreliable I feel. I asked Zhu Yingqiong: "What do you think?"

Zhu Yingqiong said with a slightly pale face: "It's impossible for humans to kill so many people in an instant without making any sound, and without any injuries, even ferocious beasts would not be able to do it, there's only one possibility for this situation …"

At this point, her face turned even paler. We hastily asked, "What possibility?"

Zhu Yingqiong faintly said one word: "Ghost!"
