Although I had never eaten anything in order to survive during the previous battles, I had never drank the Dead Man's Water. In other words, it was Corpse Water... Ye Qiu felt his stomach twitch when he thought of this. It must be because he was so hungry.
The reason for panic is definitely not because I feel like vomiting.
"But then again, why are there so many bones here?"
Li Li asked curiously.
Ye Qiu checked it out and soon made a new discovery. There was a pool near the edge of the space, and there were several corpses lying next to the pool.
That's right, it's a corpse, not bones that have been turned into bones.
Ye Qiu walked over with Li Li on his back and looked at the pool with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Maybe this pool is connected to that lake, and that's where we came out."
"As for these corpses..." Ye Qiu put Li Li down first, squatted down, turned over the corpses, looked at them, and said, "Huh..." Li Li asked, "What's wrong?"
Ye Qiu looked at these corpses and did not rush to answer. Instead, he touched their bodies. All the muscles had atrophied and the skin had become very loose. Pulling it up could almost lift the entire skin.
Looking at their necks, they are all shriveled up.
From various appearances, it is obvious that these people have been dead for several months and have turned into mummies for some unknown reason.
But if mummies can be turned into mummies in such a watery place, then the mummies don’t need to be wrapped in so many cloth belts.
But that's not the weird part.
The strange thing is that there are some wounds on their bodies, and only the wounds are visible, but no blood flows out, which shows that these wounds only appeared after they died.
The strangest thing is that these wounds appeared on their calves and arms, as if... they had brushed against some thorns or bushes when they were moving.
But how can a dead person move?
After Ye Qiu finished his inspection, he said: "These people have been dead for several months, but it seems that they are still able to move after death. What do you think this is?"
Li Li was stunned and quickly said: "Corpse Gu!"
Ye Qiu nodded: "I think so too."
After saying that, he turned over one of the corpses.
Sure enough, a tiny wound was found on the other person's neck.
This shows that the other party has indeed been implanted with corpse voodoo! "These corpses were originally corpse voodoo! But... why were they abandoned here again?"
Li Li frowned.
"I don't know, but I have an idea. If their identities are the same as what I think, then maybe we can match up... I remember you said that the Miao tribe will leave tattoos on their bodies, right?"
"Yes, you will all have tattoos when you grow up. For example, Yao Zhenfei has one on his body, but I don't have any."
Li Li pouted.
Ye Qiu also found the tattoo on the other person at this time, and saw a ferocious ghost head tattooed on his shoulder.
The two people looked at each other, and Li Li blurted out: "Ghost clan! Why are the people from the ghost clan here?"
"really."
Ye Qiu said slowly: "As I guessed, these people are the ghost tribesmen from before. I am afraid that all the ghost tribes who came to the witch sect have been turned into corpse poison.
The reason why they were thrown here is very simple. Because of the appearance of the mysterious golden warrior, the ghost clan was suspected of having created the golden warrior. The people who controlled the ghost clan behind the scenes had no choice but to hide these corpses here."
Li Li couldn't help but frown: "Who is so scary? He actually turned the ghost tribesman who is best at corpse voodoo into corpse voodoo. This person is really terrible."
"I don't know, but he must be someone who is very familiar with the witchcraft religion. Otherwise, he wouldn't have known about this place. He might even have built this place."
Ye Qiu said casually: "Also, not all the ghost people have been refined into corpse poison. For example, the old man who came to assassinate me is a living person. However, this shows that the methods of manipulating the ghost people are very superb.
, actually even the ghost clansmen didn’t notice that their clansman had turned into a corpse Gu.”
"Think about it, the clansman who meets you every day, eats with you, and chats with you is just a corpse. How sophisticated does it take to do this?"
Li Li couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, shook his head and said: "I have never heard of anyone doing it."
Ye Qiu narrowed his eyes: "But I did think of someone."
"who?"
"Do you still remember the doctor in the copycat village? He was able to make the villagers who had just been refined into corpse voodoo behave like living people in the early stage. In the end, they even made the same cunning Gu as living people. If it were him
, maybe it can be done.”
"What do you mean, is he also in the witchcraft cult?
But didn’t the notebook say that he himself was also tricked in the end?
He should be dead, right?"
"I don't know, maybe he's not dead. Now think about it, in such a big cottage, there was actually a living person left to take care of that weird Gu. It's a bit incredible to think about it. Maybe that mother-in-law was the doctor on purpose.
He stayed, and since he stayed on purpose, then maybe he is not dead, but is just observing in secret."
When talking about this, Ye Qiu felt vaguely that he seemed to have forgotten a very crucial point.
But this crucial point, even after thinking about it, I can't think of it.
If I could remember it, I might be able to know the identity of that doctor.
It's just that this was just a thought that flashed through my mind just now, like a shooting star. If I look for it again, I will never find it again.
Ye Qiu then shook his head, no longer paying attention to the corpses of these ghost tribesmen, but said: "Now we should think about how to get out. I don't know if this water is connected to the outside world."
Li Li looked at it and said worriedly: "I don't know how long the underwater road is. If it's too long, then I'm afraid there's only one chance. If it really leads to the lake, it's okay. If it doesn't, it's okay.
Then it will be very dangerous for you to go into the water."
If you want to try it safely, Ye Qiu must come back before half of the oxygen is consumed. Otherwise, who knows whether the front is closed or open.
Ye Qiu's lips curled up: "Who said I had to go into the water by myself? Have you forgotten what I left here when I first came to the lake?
If this place is really connected to that lake, then it should be able to come over."
