Xu Jinxiu looked straight over, and that unkind look made me tremble.

I wisely chose to keep my mouth shut. At this time, not speaking was the right thing to do.

"So in your eyes, I'm not attractive enough, right?"

Seeing her suddenly leaning over me, I kept dodging my eyes: "No! No, I didn't mean that."

"Chen Changyan, you are not a liar!"

I scratched my head in embarrassment and looked towards the fire in a daze, and the sound of oil squeaking and splattering came.

And I can smell it, the smell of burning grease is particularly noticeable.

I was stunned for a moment, squinting as if trying to see clearly through the firelight what was burning inside!

Seeing my expression suddenly becoming serious, Xu Jinxiu frowned and asked.

"What? What are you looking at?"

I pointed to the fire and asked, "What are the things in here? There is nothing that can be burned here. What are you using..."

Looking at the bones lying next to him, I was shocked for a moment. This little girl must have used the bones of a dead person as firewood to burn.

After years of storage, the bones will become dry as they age. Although they are not flammable, the grease on the bones is the best combustion accelerator. Once burned, the properties of these bones are like special solid charcoal. , and the burning time is extremely long.

But in the current environment, there must be something wrong, but what makes me even more puzzled is not the light of the fire, but where do these bones come from?

If I remember correctly, this place is connected, and there is no exit or dark room. Could it be that I missed something?

"Where did you find these bones?"

I asked, but Xu Jinxiu pointed to the position behind me. You can tell if you look there.

Looking in the direction of her finger, I discovered that there was a water outlet not far behind us.

The water flow just blocked my sight. If I didn't look carefully, or if I looked carefully, it would be difficult to find the clues behind it.

I raised my hand and touched the baking clothes. The single clothes were almost dry. After quickly putting them on, I walked towards the direction of the water flow.

As the view in front of me gradually became clearer, I couldn't help but say "Hey!"

This is really a good place. The design is somewhat similar to the Water Curtain Cave, but it is not so eye-catching.

"Have you already gone in?"

Xu Jinxiu nodded silently: "There is a tomb inside, but I don't know the exact size yet. I was worried that there might be some mechanism, so I got what I needed and came out."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At least she wasn't so curious, otherwise something would definitely happen.

"Pack your things and let's go in and take a look."

Suddenly I felt excited, and even had a premonition that there would be a dark room here, and there must be a secret hidden in it.

It's even possible that this is the only place we can go out!

I was about to leave, but I was held tightly by Xu Jinxiu behind me.

"The situation inside is not very good. You'd better be mentally prepared. But let's not rush. Let's replenish our physical strength first, eat something and we will exercise next."

I turned around and realized that Xu Jinxiu had already prepared, as if he had calculated the time for me to wake up.

In the current environment, food is actually not very good, and there is nothing to eat, just plain water and compressed biscuits.

After boiling the pot, the compressed biscuits turned into a pile of yellow paste. Although it looked like a pile of Ollie, the taste...

Extremely average! I swear, I never want to eat this kind of thing again in my life.

It was very sticky and had no flavor because it was cooked unevenly and had some particles. It was like drinking a bowl of colored but tasteless Ollie.

What’s more disturbing is not this thing. Think about it, this is rice cooked with the bones of dead people. How do you feel? As a person involved, how do I feel?

I looked pained and ate it quickly.

After a brief packing, we took out some emergency equipment from our backpacks in case of emergencies.

Fortunately, the backpack is waterproof and everything inside is protected.

I took out two spare batteries, a light stick, and a wolf flashlight, and groped into the hole with Xu Jinxiu.

Looking around with a light, I realized that the small place in front of me, tens of square meters, looked like... Yin Ruins?

"Could it be the ruins of the royal tombs of Yin Ruins?"

I was stunned for a moment. If it was really the Yin Ruins, I would have gained a lot this time!

"Chen Fan, come and see!"

Behind me, Xu Jinxiu suddenly called me. I turned around and looked almost shocked.

Not far away, against the wall, there were several mummies. Their bodies were thin and bent, their waists were dragging, and their hair was disheveled. Especially the red clothes on their bodies made people feel chilling.

Because the meat pieces were dried and tightened, the postures of these corpses were very strange, as if their backs had shrunk.

"These people...were they all buried together? Were they hanged here?"

I calmed down, observed it carefully, and shook my head slightly to deny it.

"These people are not burial objects, but sacrificial objects!"

"What...has it become a sacrificial object? Shouldn't the sacrificial objects appear on the altar?"

I don't agree with Xu Jinxiu's statement, but it's not completely impossible. However, these corpses in front of me are indeed sacrificial objects.

Combined with some of the designs in the tomb, I am even more convinced that this is most likely the Yin Ruins!

"Not necessarily. Look at the clothes they are wearing. They are all special sacrificial clothes. This tomb probably comes from the Shang Dynasty. Only people from the Shang Dynasty have the habit of offering sacrifices to ghosts and gods."

While I was observing carefully, I suddenly looked up and found that there was a hanging coffin above my head!

I pulled Xu Jinxiu beside me, and the two of us quickly retreated to the wall. When I shined my flashlight over it, I was shocked to find out!

Just above the hanging coffin, there is something, a piece of clothing to be precise.

A strange red dress made of red silk that was floating and swaying!

This scene ended in a weird and uncomfortable way. Even though I have seen weird things many times, what happened in front of me still made my scalp tingle!

I don’t know if it was my imagination, but there was no wind at all in the tomb, but the red clothes floating on the top actually started to swing.

The goosebumps on my arms were popping up uncontrollably.

The hanging coffin floats, the red clothes sway! This must be a place of great danger and disaster!

"Be careful!"
