When the corpse's body was cut open, dense black thorns suddenly fell out, like bundles of weeds.
Qiao Ye casually stretched out his hand, and the black thorns shattered into pieces and turned into a pile of fragments.
Qiao Ye checked the body of the corpse. There were no internal organs or even a skeleton. The reason why the body could be held up was because those black thorns replaced the bones and held up the flesh and blood. After the black thorns were broken, the corpse's body was
The body is completely an empty skin.
Qiao Ye endured the nausea and touched the body of the corpse. There was no feeling of blood or moisture. However, the body felt very smooth, as if there was a layer of gelatin, as if it had been processed by someone.
This picture is not as disgusting as imagined, after all, it is just an empty shell.
Qiao Ye pondered for a moment, wiped his hands and said, "I probably have some guesses."
Ding Xiang said: "What is it?"
Qiao Ye said: "The records left by your ancestors are correct. These corpses were probably planted here like plants!"
As Qiao Ye spoke, he pointed at the black thorns that were crushed into powder.
Qiao Ye said: "If the corpse man is compared to a plant, then the upper part of the human body is a flower or a tree trunk. These are actually rhizomes, which are buried in the ground to absorb nutrients and ensure the survival of the corpse man. And these two corpse men
already dead!"
Ding Xiang suddenly said: "These two corpses were planted in flower pots, and no one took care of them. The soil in the flower pots was necrotic, with no water or nutrients, so they died naturally. But the corpses I encountered before,
Because they are planted in the ground, even if no one cares about them, as long as there is enough rainfall and there are enough nutrients in the ground, they can survive."
Qiao Ye nodded, and then said: "Besides, these may really be people, they should be corpses, or even living people whose internal organs and skeletons have been eviscerated, and then made like this.
It feels creamy to the touch, as if it has been patinated, and it has obviously been processed."
Ding Xiang was stunned for a moment, then she backed away half a step while holding back the feeling of nausea: "It's too cruel."
Qiao Ye stood up and said: "At least the good news is that even if there are corpses in the ruins of this ancient city, if they were planted in flower pots, they would not be alive. Therefore, the danger of corpses can be eliminated for the time being."
As Qiao Ye spoke, he threw another corpse into the jade sign space.
The living corpses cannot be taken back, but the dead ones can still be taken back. This thing can be thrown back to the World Mystic for study.
"Walk!"
Qiao Ye said: "Let's take a look at the house!"
Qiao Ye said and took the lead into the house.
The house has two rooms. After entering, there is nothing special about it. It is just a very ordinary living room and bedroom, covered with dust and with some obvious damage. Other than that, there is nothing worth exploring or unique.
However, just because it is ordinary, it is a kind of weirdness in itself.
Who has a hole in their head to grow corpses at home?
Qiao Ye said: "Are there any hidden compartments or secret doors?"
Ding Xiang took out a yellow talisman and a charcoal pen and started drawing quickly. After a moment, a circle of golden light appeared on the yellow talisman, passing around and directly penetrating the wall and floor.
Ding Xiang shook her head and said: "I am very sure that there are no hidden compartments or secret doors."
Qiao Ye nodded and said: "Let's go then, keep walking forward!"
After leaving the room, Ding Xiang stopped riding and helped Qiao Ye lead Lin Jiao forward, while Qiao Ye kept looking around.
Is this a city?
town?
Or county or village?
Qiao Ye wasn't sure yet. Judging from the structure, they were all stone houses, much like the kind of border earth city.
The border Tucheng is very windy and sandy, and hurricanes sweep through from time to time. Ordinary wooden houses or tile roofs are easily damaged, so this kind of stone mud house is often used.
From this point of view, it is understandable that the houses in this place are made of stone structures. An earthen city in a vast wilderness will definitely face a similar environment.
But Qiao Ye still doesn't know how big the scale will be and whether it can reach the level of a "city".
Apart from that, Qiao Ye didn't bother to search anymore after searching a few houses.
Because, nothing was discovered!
The surrounding buildings are all ordinary residential buildings. If we push the time forward to when this ruin is still in normal operation, those houses are ordinary living places. Of course, there can be no secrets and nothing will be discovered.
Clues to get out of here.
Therefore, Qiao Ye needs to look for some landmark buildings, or relatively unique buildings, so that he can know where this place is and how to get out of here.
After walking forward for a while, we came to a fork in the road.
Qiao Ye suddenly raised her eyebrows, signaling Si Bu Xiang to stop.
There are footsteps!
Qiao Ye slowly reached out to the side, black smoke appeared in his palm, and quickly turned into a black spurge!
If there are footsteps, it means there is someone!
Those corpses cannot move!
And the ruins of an ancient city have been deserted for who knows how many years. Why are there people there?
Or, it’s someone who mistakenly entered this place like me!
Either that or the person who comes is evil!
Qiao Ye tightened the black spurge in her hand and waited for the other party to appear.
The footsteps slowly became clearer, and soon, a man in a white robe turned the corner and walked out of the side street.
The next moment, the other party turned around and met Qiao Ye's eyes.
Qiao Ye was stunned, and then said with joy: "Qin Jianchuan!"
The man who appeared was none other than Qin Jianchuan!
Why is Qin Jianchuan here?
For a moment, Qiao Ye was confused. According to the route map given by Qing Gui, Xuanyuan Beimu took people to the deeper parts of the mainland. Judging from the time, it would take about twenty days to reach the place Qing Gui had mentioned.
Xuanyuan Beihu led people to go deeper into the ruins, which would take more than twenty days.
In this case, they shouldn't be trapped here.
However, Qiao Ye's own journey along the way, the route and time did not match the information of the World Mystic, so Qiao Ye didn't think much about it. After all, this place was very weird to begin with.
Qiao Ye thought as she walked quickly towards Qin Jianchuan.
But at this time...
Qin Jianchuan suddenly raised his sword, grabbed the scabbard and pushed forward. The scabbard suddenly flew forward and turned into a stream of light, approaching Qiao Ye's face.
Qiao Ye was stunned again, but his body reacted instinctively and fiercely picked up the black halberd in his hand.
Bang!
The halberd blade struck the scabbard and pushed the scabbard aside.
However, just as the scabbard fell to the ground, Qin Jianchuan had already come to kill him.
