C1091 Thousands of Bones
At the end of the tunnel is a fork in the road with two wooden doors on the left and right. The iron chains on them were already rusty. This was the place used to lock people up. And right in front of them was a huge space. That was the cellar used to store all kinds of things in the past.
Xuan Yu turned around to look at Yang Xuan, then carefully walked forward. But when he saw the scene in the cellar, his face instantly turned pale.
Xuan Yu's footsteps suddenly stopped, but Yang Xuan didn't have time to react. He actually bumped into Xuan Yu. Caught off guard, Yang Xuan lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Yang Xuan fell from Xuan Yu's side into the dark cellar in front of him. He only stopped after crashing into something. He opened his eyes and saw an arm next to his head.
He thought Xuan Yu had fallen beside him after being knocked down by him. He said apologetically, "I'm sorry, senior."
As he spoke, he looked up and found Xuan Yu standing at the entrance of the cellar, looking behind him. He was stunned for a moment, then looked at the arm he was holding. A terrifying thought appeared in his mind. Although his strength had already reached the Nascent Infant, and he was carrying the Flame of Separation, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage even if he were to face a strange opponent. However, this feeling still made him feel a chill down his spine.
He seemed to know why those disciples of the Xuan Martial Pavilion reacted so strongly just now.
Yang Xuan stood up from the ground. He felt his heart beating very fast. He looked up along his arm. What appeared in front of Yang Xuan was a naked female corpse. The expression on the corpse's face was terrifying. Its mouth and eyes were wide open. It seemed like it was in great pain before its death.
And below her neck, there was a place that should have been a private part of a woman, but there was nothing that should have appeared. The skin there was completely black, and only the two bumps on her chest were able to determine her gender.
Yang Xuan reached out and pressed on the upper half of the corpse's body. The skin there was very hard. It did not look like human skin, nor did it look like it was on her hands or after she got sick. If he really wanted to say it, it would be more like some iron rhino. Or the rough skin of a wild bull or some kind of ferocious beast.
This black skin extended from the bottom of his neck all the way to the middle of his thigh.
But this was only the tip of the iceberg in this gloomy and terrifying cellar. When Yang Xuan saw the entire scene in the cellar, he immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.
This cellar was at least five meters tall, and in front of Yang Xuan... It's a hill at least half the height of this cellar. This small mountain was made up of corpses, and these corpses were in a very miserable state. Some parts of their bodies were no longer the same as before. Instead, there were all kinds of strange things.
Yang Xuan roughly estimated that this small mountain was made up of at least ten thousand corpses. Of course, not all of them were humans. There were also some ferocious beast.
Xingyun also came out from Yang Xuan's body. He looked at the corpse mountain with an ashen face. Yang Xuan and Xuan Yu looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Yang Xuan turned around and wanted to walk back, but he was stopped by Xuan Yu.
Xuan Yu forced himself to calm down when he sensed Yang Xuan's almost tangible killing intent. He said to Yang Xuan, "Little brother, don't worry. There are still other rooms here. We'll talk after we finish looking at them. If I'm not wrong, we can definitely find other clues here. "
After hearing Xuan Yu's words, Yang Xuan nodded and stopped.
The mountain of corpses piled up in the cellar was too strange, even though judging from their corpses, these people weren't experts, but they were all cultivators. Although in Central Province, the number of cultivators living here was several times higher than in the other four continents. But there were thousands of cultivators here, if they disappeared together... It would definitely attract the attention of others.
However, Yang Xuan didn't intend to dig out the corpses in the depths of the mountain of corpses to determine the time of their death. Yang Xuan believed that if he hadn't sealed his five senses with the Spiritual Force, must have passed out by the smell here. Even though his five senses had been sealed, Yang Xuan could still feel the discomfort from his body. The cellar was very damp, and he stayed there for a while. It made Yang Xuan feel as if there was something attached to his body.
It was as if the souls of these dead people were seeking Yang Xuan's life.
Under Xuan Yu's lead, the three of them left the cellar.
On both sides of the cellar door, there were two paths made of stone. The walls inside were carved with all kinds of patterns.
Under Xuan Yu's lead, the three of them walked into the path. Different from the previous paths, the walls of this path actually had a spirit stone lamp hanging on them, emitting a dim yellow light that lit up the path.
Walking along the passageway, what appeared in front of everyone was... It's rows of iron cages. This was the dungeon of Xuan Martial Pavilion, but it was different from the damp cellar just now. The dungeon was very dry. After Yang Xuan studied it for a while, he discovered that there was a formation that could remove moisture on the ground and the ceiling.
"Ah ~" In the quiet dungeon, there was a slight hum, which made Yang Xuan shiver. He looked in the direction where the sound came from and found a living person in the cage not far away.
It was a man with disheveled hair. He was completely naked, and only his private part was covered by a piece of tattered cloth. His arms were tied up by chains, and they were firmly fixed on the wall. Even his ankles were hung with a huge iron ball.
When he came in front of the man, Yang Xuan was surprised to find that the skin on the man's chest had been peeled off by some vicious means. Then, he covered the hard black scale armor that Yang Xuan had seen on the woman's body in the cellar.
The door of the cell was locked by an iron lock, but this couldn't stop Yang Xuan. He pinched the iron chain with both hands, and with a sudden pull, the lock's lock core was broken.
With a bang, the iron lock fell to the ground. It also alarmed the man. However, the man only raised his head to take a look before lowering his head. From his eyes, Yang Xuan did not see the slightest fluctuation of emotion. It was as if everything that had happened had nothing to do with him. Such eyes were like the eyes of a dead man.
"Are you alright?" Yang Xuan came to the man's side and asked with concern. However, the man didn't move and didn't answer.1
Yang Xuan quickly checked the man's body and found that he had reached an extreme point. The Qi wheel in his body was spinning very slowly and his stomach was empty. Obviously, it had been a long time since he had eaten anything.
