Chapter 886 Source

There are several burial grounds in Moonlight City, and each one is a large pit filled with corpses, filled with the stench of death and stench.

We didn't find any abnormalities or clues in the first bone burial ground. In order to go back as soon as possible, I signaled to Ren that he didn't need to waste too much time here and could rush to the next bone burial ground to explore.

The second burial ground is less than a hundred meters away from the first burial ground. The pit is also full of piles of corpses and has an unpleasant stench. Like the first burial ground, we did not find it. Any useful clues.

I felt quite unhappy, frowned, and signaled Ren to start exploring the third burial ground.

Being able to search for clues at night is something you can't do in Airui City. After all, there is a rich nightlife there, and noise and light pollution abound. Finding clues in that situation is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But Moonlight City is different.

This place is called Moonlight City, not only because the aborigines here, the goblins, are a race full of literature and art, but also because here, the moon looks rounder, bigger, and brighter.

Under the flawless moonlight, I could see everything on the ground clearly, just like daylight.

So, when we searched the first two bone burial sites in vain, I almost immediately decided to start exploring the third bone burial ground.

The third bone burial ground seems to be deeper and larger than the first two bone burial grounds, and the number of corpses piled in it also seems to be slightly less than that of the first two bone burial grounds. Huh? Why less?

I was startled and squatted down at the edge of the pit to take a closer look. However, the bodies were piled about one meter away from the edge of the pit, so I couldn't fully see the truth inside the pit!

In order to find out what was going on, I felt anxious and motioned to Ren to help with the sentry, while I jumped into the pit.

The feeling of stepping on a rotting corpse is the same as stepping on a rag. The only difference is that there are bones hidden in the corpse, but not in the rag.

Squatting down, I began to observe the corpse.

Most of these corpses were rotten or withered. When I stepped on them, black liquid would seep out from the surface of the wounds on some corpses. I observed each corpse carefully. Some of them were old, some were young, some were intact, and some were seriously injured. The ones that cause death, there are elves, and there are goblins?

Goblin corpse?

I suddenly thought of something, stepped on the earth wall beside me, jumped up, and jumped out of the burial ground.

"Did you find anything?" Ren asked.

"I found something." I nodded and said, "The corpses in the pit were all from a long time ago."

"how do you know?"

"I found the corpses of some goblins, all of which were severely injured and died. I am certain that these goblins were all victims of the previous massacre."

Ren pondered for a while and said, "Is there anything else?"

"The decomposition of the corpses is very serious, and some have begun to develop into mummies." I sighed and said, "But none of them are fresh corpses recently."

"You mean, maybe the fresh corpses have been turned into carrion monsters?"

"Yeah" I nodded: "That's it."

"What are we going to do next?" Ren asked.

"Look around to see if there are any clues," I said. "If the corpses in this burial ground were used, there will definitely be some traces left behind, for sure!"

After that, Ren and I split up and searched around the burial ground. After searching for a long time, we still couldn't find any traces of the dried corpse water, but we found a few fragmented organs and tissues.

When I arrived at the place where Ren found the organs and tissues, I squatted down and observed them carefully.

While studying the broken tissue, Ren said: "This is a fragment of human spleen. It is likely that it was broken by external force."

"Is it possible that friction or tearing left it in this place?"

"It's possible," Ren said, "Look here, the fracture surface is not neat, and even drags along for a while. In other words, this broken piece of tissue experienced a period of friction and tearing before it broke. "

I nodded: "In that case, could it be that the original owner of this organization, the body that was dumped here, was stolen, and the person who stole it had no choice. He directly resisted it and chose to drag it out of the pit. During the dragging process, some of the organs and tissues that had originally flowed out of the wound were broken due to the external force and were left behind. Are you still where you are?"

"What you said is generally reasonable," Ren said, "but organs and tissues are not as fragile as you think. The reason why this broken organ and tissue was broken off and left here is probably its original owner. He had been severely injured before he was alive, and his internal organs were severely damaged before he died. Later, when his body was dragged, the internal organs that were already about to break were finally unable to withstand the friction. The load is broken."

I couldn't help but sigh: "It's really miserable for these poor elves to have to suffer such a miserable experience after death."

"On this point, I agree," Ren said: "Even an assassin, after assassinating the target, will show respect to the corpse and will not insult and play with it at will. This stolen corpse hidden in the dark is used to make Monsters can indeed be called evil to a certain extent."

Sighing, I said: "Anyway, we finally have some clues now, but it's still not enough. Let's continue towards the next burial ground and see if we can get more powerful clues."

After that, we searched for several bone burial grounds in succession, and finally explored all the bone burial grounds before dawn.

After finishing the work, we made a detailed record. In addition to the fresh corpses in the third bone burial ground that were missing, the fresh corpses in the other two bone burial grounds were also missing.

Although it is still unclear whether there is any connection between these bone burial grounds, what is certain is that the source of the monsters composed of carrion is indeed provided by the bones in the bone burial ground.

This news is both good and bad for me.

The good thing is that I finally found the source of the carrion monster, but unfortunately, I guess that among the elf patrols and secret sentries, there must be an accomplice of the person who created the carrion monster, and this person's status is not low, I even I wonder if this has something to do with the elf elders?

Of course, everything is just a hypothesis. Before there is definite proof, I can't point the finger at a certain person or a few people.

Moreover, the most important thing now is not to consider these issues, but to consider whether to stay here all day or to find a way to get out of here quickly.

After all, the lingering stench is unbearable.
