Ancient Sword II: The Tracking of the Fierce Mountain

Chapter 180 IX: The Road to Sacrifice ([-])

Next to the mural is a corpse, or in other words, a corpse lying on the mountain wall, as if it wants to climb up.

The corpse was some distance away from Shen Ye and the others, so apart from being able to judge that he was a man, the only thing that could be seen clearly on the whole face were those eyes.

Those eyes were so dark that the whites could not be seen.The eyeballs are so big that they are different from ordinary people, as if the whole eyeballs are exposed.

Xie Yi removed the flashlight and moved slowly.Under the hard ice and snow, there is a well-protected corpse.In other words, these people under their feet were "lucky" to lose their lives in an instant, and they were sealed forever without feeling pain.

If you look carefully, you can find the corpses under your feet, which can be roughly divided into two categories.

One is a corpse similar to a man, posing in various poses in order to escape, with eyes full of fear.One type is obediently lying down, with its head on the ground, as if worshiping the corpse.

Those crouching corpses are so orderly, there are seven people in a row, there is almost no gap between each person in each row, and it looks square.In addition, these corpses were all wearing black cloaks and did not wear any accessories of other colors. It is no wonder that the four of them looked down and thought that they were rocks instead of human bodies.

This group of corpses has been spreading to the distance, their movements are consistent, almost no difference can be seen, occasionally there is a vacancy in the team, and the extremely abrupt corpse can be found nearby.

They either grabbed the mountain wall, ran, or fell to the ground. Some of them simply fell on the companions behind them.But what is amazing is that these fallen people have painful expressions, but the people below them are like stone statues, and their movements are still exactly the same as those of their worshiping companions, without the slightest movement.

If it weren't for some of their arms or legs being trampled off, and you can see white flesh and blood splattered around, you really have to wonder if they are sculptures.

It's just that the limbs are all broken, why is there no response at all?It seems very pious, so pious that it is almost terrifying.

Majestic and chaotic, this is the feeling of the corpses under your feet.

Xie Yi couldn't see anything weird anymore, so he took the flashlight back.

For a while, no one spoke.

"Are they... suddenly buried alive?" After a while, Le Wuyi asked softly.

"Maybe." Xie Yi said.

Seeing the appearance of the fleeing corpses, they were indeed extremely frightened and panicked.If there is an avalanche and there is nowhere to escape, it makes sense.

"Then why are the others motionless? Just praying?"

"probably……"

Shen Ye said, "Don't care about them, let's look ahead."

The four of them walked forward again, perhaps they knew that there were densely packed corpses under their feet, or maybe it was the light projection of the flashlight, the feeling of being spied on could not dissipate no matter what.

When Le Wuyi occasionally lowered his head, he could see a struggling corpse.Some of them were facing upwards, while others were lying sideways with their faces half up.What was even more exaggerated was a dead body with a broken head. The head was rolled in a corner not far from the neck, and the eyeballs were also stubbornly upward.

Meowing, it looks like it's staring at us.Le Wuyi rubbed his arms, feeling goosebumps almost rising.

"Are you okay?" Xia Yi suddenly asked.

Le Wuyi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: "It's okay, it's just that I'm not used to it, don't worry."

Le Wuyi is right, who can step on the dead body in the air and still feel at ease?

The ground under his feet has remained the same width since he encountered these corpses, and it has an inexplicably formal flavor.The fairy picture beside her changed from smiling to solemn and solemn, as if telling the four of them that their destination was approaching.

Turning a corner, the eyes of the four suddenly opened up.In the wider hinterland, there are two butt-joint, excavated rectangular underground caves.

The cliffs on both sides of the cliff were excavated at the bottom, and the entrance was supported by stone pillars, which were more than four meters high.

Xie Yi's flashlight shone at the bottom of the pillar, but he saw a woman standing there quietly with her back turned to them.The long hair is loose and the figure is slender.The steady beam of light couldn't help shaking.

Seeing this scene, not to mention Xie Yi, everyone was shocked.But after being shocked, I took a closer look and found that it was actually a part of the stone pillar—the lower half of the stone pillar was all carved into the shape of a woman.

The interior of the cave was even darker, so Xia Yi turned on a new flashlight.

Separated by the cliff, there are four stone pillars erected on each side, with one side facing away from them and the other side facing them. The bottom is full of stone carvings of women.The style of the stone carvings strives to be authentic, so it's no wonder that Xie Yi and the others recognized their mistake at a glance.

It's just that for some reason, the eyes of the women are all closed.And what the woman was holding in her hand made everyone frown - it was a vivid baby's head.

The fat and puffy little baby, the corners of the mouth are raised high, the cheeks and mouth are specially lit with vermilion, plump and cute.It's just that when the laughing baby has only its head on someone's hands, it looks weird no matter what.

Unlike women with closed eyes, these babies whose heads were cut off all looked like they were smiling with their eyes open.

"Meow meow, what kind of strange hobby is this?" Le Wuyi took a look and then looked away.

Xie Yi couldn't bear to look any further, and shifted his gaze to the direction the woman and the baby were facing.

It's just the end of the light, gray and obviously never ending.Not far away, there are also a few stone pillars erected.Xia Yi moved the flashlight over, but when the light passed over the babies' heads, something flickered.

The movement of his hands stopped suddenly.

"Yi Ze, what's the matter?" Le Wuyi said.

Xie Yi and Shen Ye also turned their heads.

Xia Yi frowned and didn't speak, but focused the light on the baby's eyes.

This time, all four of them saw the light.

There was a circle of halo in the baby's eyes, which became more transparent and brighter under the light of the flashlight.

"Is it a gemstone?" Xie Yi asked.

"It should be." Shen Ye nodded.

Using gemstones as eyes is also a big deal.

But Le Wuyi is increasingly unable to understand the designer's intentions: "Meow meow, the more you look at it, the weirder it gets. Let's go?"

Xia Yi nodded and moved the flashlight over.

On the next road, there were bright beams of light moving in the darkness, and the four of Shen Ye saw many stone pillars with the same style one after another.

Of course, the style is the same, but the specifications have gradually changed.At first, there were four in a row, and after a few rows, there was suddenly another stone pillar.Soon after, there was another one.

Continue to go forward like this, until when the nine roots are in a row, not far away, a blue-white stone step finally appears.

The four couldn't help speeding up their pace, but when they came near the stone steps, they all frowned in disgust.

Is this the first time?

Xia Yi and Xie Yi rubbed their brows, and the other frowned, neither of them had anything to say.Le Wuyi was about to vomit, but Shen Ye's expression didn't change much.

The surface of the stone steps in front of me is uneven, and the ups and downs are all made of skulls.Those are the smiling faces of babies, very similar to the objects held by the stone carving woman, and they are crowded with each other.In order to leave no gaps, many heads were crushed, leaving only one eye, or half a bright red mouth.More commonly, the entire head is squeezed out of shape, and the facial features are severely distorted.

What Xie Yi and the others care about the most is the material they reveal, not stone chips but fine bones.

These are probably not stone carvings, but real baby heads.
