Main Text Volume Chapter 334 Corpse at the Bottom of the Lake

It was also pitch black under the lake, and the view was completely blocked. Angel quickly built a hexagonal model in his thinking space. With a slight push of magic power, a white ball of light appeared out of thin air in the light shield of the purification force field, like a beacon, illuminating the surrounding area.

This is an O-level magic light spell.

In the past two months, he had completed most of the commonly used tricks, including the light trick, which he had never bothered to learn in the past and thought it was a waste of time.

The light spell only has the effect of light, and the light it emits is not bright. It is similar to a torch. It can illuminate the surrounding two or three meters at most. But torches cannot be used underwater, and the light spell does not have this restriction.

In fact, there is an advanced magic trick called Light Technique: Shining Technique. It can illuminate a range of tens of meters, but the shining technique is a level 1 magic. To learn it, you need to accumulate a certain amount of corresponding knowledge. It takes a long time to study to learn it, and Angel has no plans to learn it yet.

With the help of the light technique, the dark and cold lake water finally had a little brightness.

Using the dim light to look around, he saw that there was unknown black debris floating in the water, and he also found some strange black threads, like human hair, floating quietly in the water.

Looking at the bunch of black hair wrapped together, Angel could still imagine how disgusting the smell was, even if there was a purification force field.

The lake was not deep, about four or five meters, and Angel quickly reached the bottom of the lake. The bottom of the lake was full of unknown black paint-like things. He initially thought it was a natural resource of petroleum, but he used a magic ball to wrap a part of the black paint into the purification field. In an instant, a nauseating rancid smell filled the tip of his nose.

Not oil. Angel thought for a long time, and based on his experience, he didn't know what this thing was, so he had to give up.

The bottom of the lake is not deep, which also proves one thing. In the past, villagers could not live solely on this water. This lake may have been living water once, but now it is blocked for some unknown reason.

With this idea in mind, Angel began to search for possible blocked pipes in the dark water.

Every few steps he took, a "wind tornado" arose from Angel's hand, rolling up the debris at the bottom of the water. The bottom of the lake began to stir violently, and many things hidden in the scum were lifted out.

Angel has been maintaining a purification force field, temporarily blocking off the sewage and garbage, and adding the light spell, so he can clearly see many strange things.

For example, a small, worn-out iron box flashed past Angel's eyes.

He quickly captured the iron box and dragged it into the light shield of the purification force field. Angel estimated that this iron box had not been opened for a long time. He was afraid that opening it would cause qualitative changes in the contents inside, so he learned the lesson and did not try to open the iron box. Instead, he put his mental tentacles in to observe the internal situation.

Angel was a little surprised by the picture fed back by the mental tentacles. Looking at the exquisiteness and sealing of the box, he thought it was for decorative treasures, but the box contained mostly undamaged medical equipment, such as Syringes, medicine bottles, syringes and the like.

Angel thought for a moment, then used the Cleaning Technique to clean up the debris outside the small iron box, then used the Purifying Technique to remove the smell, and finally put it into the bracelet.

The reason why the box was not discarded was that Angel found that the medical equipment inside had a strange symbol——

A snake coils around a cone.

This sign may reveal something about the village here.

As the "wind tornadoes" went down, the dark objects that had been buried for nearly a thousand years surfaced one by one. Among them, there are even several white bones with heads that have not yet fallen off.

No human bones were seen in the village. Angel thought that everyone here had escaped, but that didn't seem to be the case now. He only cleaned a corner of the bottom of the lake, and eight corpses appeared. If we look at the area of ​​the entire lake, how many corpses have sunk to the bottom of the lake?

Could it be that the entire village was dead at the bottom of the lake?

Thinking of this possibility, Angel felt a little creepy. No wonder the lake smelled so bad. There are countless dead bodies in this dead lake for thousands of years, so it’s strange that it smells good.

Angel jumped out of the lake with the bones, placed the bones by the lake, and began to inspect them one by one.

When all eight bones were inspected, Angel's face showed a smile. After careful inspection, he determined that these bones were all human, not humanoid. And based on the distribution of height and bone size, Angel judged that these might be Zhi people, belonging to the mainstream genus of Homo in the Southern Region.

This answer made Angel even more convinced that he might not have left the wizarding world.

It is not that there are no humans in other planes, but most of them are mortal beings, not ordinary humans. Angel was certain that these skeletons were once ordinary people. In addition, although the deserted village in the center of the earth is very strange, after Angel's search during this period, he can roughly judge that there should be no ordinary things in the village.

A village full of ordinary humans would never appear outside the wizarding world!

Since he was still in the wizarding world, what was Angel worried about? As long as you don't stay away, there is always a way to go back.

Angel dug a huge pit with his magical hands and put 8 corpses into the pit. He maintained basic respect for the dead.

Angel did not bury it immediately, but continued to go down to the bottom of the lake and stir up waves.

As he expected, the entire bottom of the lake was a mass grave. He fished out corpses one by one, including men, women, old and young, and a baby's body in the arms of its mother. Looking at the mother and child's body, which seemed to be full of maternal love but indifferent and ruthless, Angel felt mixed emotions.

The baby couldn't ask for death on his own initiative, so the body seemed to prove one thing: the people here might have been murdered or committed suicide.

Let's not talk about the murder for now. If it was suicide, Angel didn't understand what kind of emotion this mother had, and she would rather die with her baby?

"Alas..." With a sigh, the past had long been buried in time, and no one could tell why. The emotions of mortals, because life is too short, explode more passionately and excitingly. This is a kind of fiery that wizards with long lifespans lack.

Perhaps a bloody disaster happened here thousands of years ago. Or maybe——

Angel turned his head and looked at a certain part of the village, where there was a nest that had been there for many years, where colorful dragonflies made their home. Angel didn't know if it was their visit that caused the problem here.

However, who can clarify what happened thousands of years ago?

One by one, corpses, like a pile of small mountains, were dragged out from the bottom of the lake by Angel and thrown into the huge pit. What he didn't know was that while he was doing these things, a golden vertical pupil was quietly staring at him from a hidden place at the bottom of the lake.

In the end, Angel cleaned up nearly a hundred corpses from the bottom of the lake. This number seems a lot, but according to the size of the village, there should be more than a hundred people living there.

"Maybe some of the remaining people escaped from the village?" Angel guessed.

Angel cleaned the bottom of the lake for a long time, and almost all the corpses were taken out, but he didn't find the "underground passage" that he wanted to find to prove that the lake was once a living water lake.

"Could it be that my guess is wrong? This deserted village in the center of the earth actually has other water sources? This lake was simply built to look good?"

But who would deliberately build a dead water lake for people to see?

Or is this lake actually the villagers' grave? They ended their lives with water burial?

Angel was still guessing, but he couldn't get an answer, and he couldn't find an exit, so he could only leave the bottom of the lake and bury the corpses first.

There were too many corpses, and the pit at the beginning was a little small. Angel directed Toby to violently smash a bigger pit nearby, and then put the corpses into it one by one.

After covering the soil, Angel also found a big stone, melted it into a monument through the heat melting method, and carved a row of neat general text with the magic hand:

"An unknown deserted village, more than a hundred corpses sank into the lake, and now a monument is erected to commemorate."

"The person who erected the monument: Angel Pat."

As the inscription was erected, Angel began to wonder if there was any other way? In fact, there is another stupid way, which is to dig a road by himself, but he doesn't know the location of the infrastructure in the center of the earth. If he accidentally digs a landslide, it will be bad.

At this moment, Angel suddenly heard a gurgling sound from the lake behind him.

He turned his head and found that there was a whirlpool on the lake? !

What does the whirlpool on the lake mean? How could Angel not know? He showed joy on his face, called Toby back, and then plunged into the lake.

Angel came directly to the whirlpool, and he was surprised to find that there was suddenly a dark hole at the bottom of the lake.

It was this abrupt hole that caused the whirlpool.

"Didn't you see a hole here before?" Angel was full of doubts, and then began to recall what was going on here before.

But after thinking for a long time, he didn't remember any useful information. Because the bottom of the lake was too dark, even with the light spell, it could only illuminate two or three meters nearby. In addition, the bottom of the lake was uneven and full of black paint-like things, so it was normal for him not to remember.

"Perhaps the wind tornado had almost lifted up the hole, and when the villagers were buried, the water pressure squeezed through the last layer of membrane?" Angel had no other guesses. There was no one else here, so he could only make such a guess.

As for whether it was the work of the undead... Angel could still tell. He did not feel the fluctuations of the undead here. In addition, the probability of ordinary people turning into souls and surviving was too low. Now a thousand years have passed, and it is impossible for the undead to exist.

When the lake bottom was calm again, Angel carefully stepped into the dark hole.

Unknown hole, unknown path, no one knows what is ahead, and all Angel can do now is to be on guard.

"Toby, you should also pay attention to the guard!" Angel did not forget to remind Toby, but when he turned his head to look at Toby, he found that Toby's eyes were very solemn.

"Toby?" Angel asked doubtfully.

Toby gestured to Angel twice: "Jigujigu."

"You said, you want to go out?" Angel was a little surprised. Didn't Toby always like cleanliness? Why did he have to go out and touch the dirty and smelly water when he couldn't just stay in the purification field?
