The most prosperous capital of the Holy Dynasty, at this moment, is as silent and empty as a dead city.
Mu Feng and Jiuyuan's expressions became extremely solemn, but their hearts were full of doubts.
How could such a huge capital become like this?
"Could it be that You Ran and the others took away everyone in the capital?" Mu Feng asked.
Jiuyuan shook his head and said: "Impossible! The Nether Clan has never been interested in the human race. Why did they take so many people away? It makes no sense at all."
Mu Feng was silent, and Jiuyuan stopped talking. The two of them continued to search the city.
"Huh? There's something weird in this space!"
Suddenly, Jiuyuan stopped at the end of a street, his eyes fixed on the drainage outlet at the left end of the street.
This drainage outlet is not large. It is made of bluestone and has a network of holes all over it. Under the holes is an underground ditch, which is specially used to transport rainwater and sewage from the ground to the ground below.
In Jiuyuan's eyes, in the underground ditch below the drainage outlet, there are subtle fluctuations in the space, but they are so subtle that most Imperial Masters cannot notice them.
Mu Feng didn't notice it at first, but now that Jiuyuan reminded him, he looked carefully and discovered that there were some doorways in the underground ditch below the drainage outlet.
Whoosh!
Jiuyuan swept out of the wordless golden book and came to the top of the drainage outlet. A pair of black eyes stared directly at the drainage outlet below.
Mu Feng silently watched this scene in the golden book. He clearly saw that when Jiuyuan fell to the open space above the drainage outlet, waves of waves surged out of the space, just like ripples coming out of a stone falling into water.
Jiuyuan's hands were seen making complex hand seals, and golden glows emerged from his hands. If he looked carefully, he found that these golden glows were actually composed of complex golden runes.
In about tens of seconds, Jiuyuan's right claw sent out, and the golden light containing golden runes shot out and rushed straight into the drainage outlet.
time , the space above the drainage outlet seemed to be squeezed and began to twist, constantly organizing the invasion of golden light.
"break!"
Jiuyuan spoke like thunder, and the resistance above the drainage outlet suddenly collapsed. Then the drainage outlet exploded, and a hole big enough to accommodate one person appeared.
This hole leads directly to the underground ditch below. It is so dark inside that it is impossible to see what else exists deep in the underground ditch.
"It stinks!"
When the seal on the drain was broken, Jiuyuan frowned. He smelled an overwhelming and pungent smell that rushed out from under the drain, giving him an unbearable feeling of nausea.
"Jiuyuan, what's wrong?"
In the golden book, Mu Feng naturally saw the strange look on Jiuyuan's face and couldn't help but ask.
"There is a very disgusting odor in the underground ditch under the drainage outlet. It smells like the stench of an extremely rotten corpse!" Jiuyuan turned into a golden light and returned to the world of the Golden Book.
He fanned his paws and said.
Mu Feng's pupils narrowed slightly, as if he thought of something, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go into this dark ditch and take a look!"
Jiuyuan nodded, that was exactly what he meant. Although he was disgusted by the corpse smell, he was also very curious in his heart as to what was down there that could emit such a strong corpse smell.
Jiuyuan controlled the golden book, entered the cave below, followed the tunnel of the underground ditch, and continued to dive deeper.
The further down you go, the stronger the corpse stench becomes, almost reaching a suffocating level. Fortunately, Jiuyuan and Mu Feng are both in the golden book, so they naturally don't smell the corpse stench.
Soon, the two of them reached the bottom of the underground ditch.
This is an artificially constructed underground river that flows eastwards and converges with a large river outside the city.
This underground ditch river is mainly used for drainage and sewage discharge.
But when Jin Shu arrived here, Mu Feng and Jiuyuan discovered that the underground river was blocked and the water flow was stagnant.
Moreover, they also discovered that the dark water of the underground river was mixed with a strange bright red color. Looking further ahead, they saw sparse corpses floating faintly.
Jiuyuan and Mu Feng controlled the golden book and headed downstream along the underground river. Along the way, they found that the number of corpses floating on the underground river was increasing.
Moreover, most of these corpses have hideous faces and shriveled flesh and blood, obviously resulting from very painful torture during their lifetimes.
Seeing more and more floating corpses along the way, Mu Feng's face suddenly darkened, and he had a very bad feeling in his heart. .??.
Following the underground river, after walking for about a full stick of incense, Jin Shu hovered at the source of the underground river blockage, a mountain of corpses that almost blocked the entire underground river space.
This mountain of corpses is completely made up of thousands of corpses, old, young, male, and female, piled randomly in the underground river, stack after stack, reaching the lowest point of the underground river.
The space is completely blocked.
It is precisely because of the existence of this mountain of corpses that the underground river stops flowing.
And the source of that strong corpse smell is here.
Looking carefully, most of the corpses piled up in the mountain of corpses are shriveled, but they have begun to rot, with countless maggots crawling crazily inside the bones.
This scene is shocking!
"They all died in the same way. They all died by being forcibly sucked dry by something from the inside of the body!" Jiuyuan stared at the mountain of corpses in front of him with a solemn expression.
Mu Feng's face became very ugly, and his eyes were filled with Angry, he roared: "These Nether Tribes deserve to be damned, they actually dared to massacre the city and massacred the entire sacred city! It's simply inhumane!"
Jiuyuan sighed: "I guess that the Nether Clan slaughtered a large number of human races in the sacred city. I am afraid they are not killing for the sake of killing. I suspect they are doing some kind of experiment!"
Mu Feng forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart. Although he now wanted to kill all the Nether Clan, he also knew that this was an unrealistic idea and he had to calm down now.
"Jiuyuan, how can you see it?" Mu Feng looked at Jiuyuan and asked.
Jiuyuan waved his sleeves and grabbed a corpse from the mountain of corpses, entered the central continent of the Golden Book World, and placed it in front of the holy spring where Mu Feng was.
"Look at the exposed bones of this corpse!" Jiuyuan pointed at the hand bones of the corpse. Mu Feng found that the hand bones of the corpse had turned black.
This corpse was highly decomposed, and the bones were exposed in some parts of the body. In addition to the hand bones, the exposed parts of the foot bones, skull, etc. were also extremely dark.
"What did you think of when you saw the appearance of this corpse? Do you feel like you have seen it before?" Jiuyuan looked at Mu Feng and asked.
Mu Feng's eyes narrowed, and his mind immediately recalled the bones of the Nine Swords Martial King that he had seen in the tomb of the Nine Swords Martial King.
Inside the coffin of King Nine Swordsman, his bones were curled up and turned black and purple.
At that time, Mu Feng thought that the Nine Swords Martial King had been poisoned by some kind of poison before his death, and the poison had penetrated deep into the bone marrow, which was why he turned black and purple.
Later, after learning about the existence of the Nether Clan such as Ansi, he understood that this was the result of being parasitized by the Nether Clan.
The power of the Nether Tribe is evil and strange. If it parasitizes any living creature, it will contaminate its flesh, blood, bones and other parts of the body. Therefore, the bones of the parasitized creature will turn black after death.
