"These are the petals of the White Witch Flower," Ellenpi patted off the mud on it with his hands. Although the thing was a little deformed and tattered due to the tread of Ellen's water, he still recognized it and handed it to Ellen. In front of the water, "Come, let's eat and see."
"That's not necessary," Fei Huihua quickly stopped, "This is an important piece of evidence, and it's not very clean either."
"It seems to make sense." Ai Lunpi was persuaded and took his hand back, while Ai Lun Shui was completely unmoved and couldn't tell which of the two was mentally ill.
Kun Yi took the petals from Ellenpi's hand and rubbed the surface with his fingertips: "It's still a little moist, it should have fallen freshly."
Yi Liuling came over and took a look: "The flower of the White Witch Flower is the real body, and the petals cannot fall off at a touch. It must have been attacked, right?"
"It's possible, but I'm not sure what the specific situation is." Kun Yi raised the petals, dissing that the fluorescence was not bright enough, and shined a light on it again, "Hey, there seems to be some golden runes on it, ah, this is not a time system. Magic lines?"
Although Kun Yi has not learned time-based spells, the book that Kunt forced him to read did involve it, so at least he knows what it is and can roughly deduce: "It has something to do with the reversal of time."
"I see." Ellenpi put one hand on the other and tapped the back of his hand with his index finger. This is an action he often does when thinking. "No wonder the white witch flower is a universal healing plant. It turns out that its healing properties The principle is to restore the injury to the condition before the injury, so it is not restricted by type.”
"But if we go back in time," Fei Huihua interjected, "wouldn't it be similar to the time barriers we encounter now?"
"Yeah, so I was wondering, could this incident be related to the White Witch Flower that almost disappeared?" Kun Yi examined the petals, "This is a very strange thing in the first place. A place grows all over the mountains and plains, but suddenly disappears without changing the environment. Even if it is over-collected, it is almost a hundred years since it has recovered, right?"
"Anyway, if we go inside, we might be able to get the answer." Yi Liuling patted the flowerpot with her hand comfortingly. Ever since he walked in here, he found that Yousheng was a little anxious, and it was very... Clearly conveying a desire to move inward.
In this way, the six people walked deeper into the tunnel again. Gradually, some broken bones appeared on the ground, some of which were humanoid and some of monsters, and there were also traces of being entangled and deformed. Apparently the white witch flower once grew on these bones, but doesn't that plant exist in the wild? Why does it appear underground in the ruins?
To be honest, a shadow gradually fell over the hearts of several people. They felt that there must be some terrible facts hidden behind this holy medicinal spiritual plant.
The road always ends, and they come to an empty stone room, but this is not the deepest part. It can be seen from the row of holes on the stone wall that there are other rooms. However, just the sight shown here is enough to make people feel sick.
There were corpses everywhere, and unlike before, this time there were only humans on the ground, but it had been there for some years, and not even a single rag was left.
On the side of the stone chamber without the entrance, there is an altar soaked in blood with mysterious runes engraved on it. However, after the knowledgeable Ellen Pi and Kun Yi identified it, they found that it was just some random graffiti and did not have magical effect.
There is a stone platform behind the altar, and there are signs of breakage on the top, which should correspond to the bookshelf that fell to the ground. There may have been a book here.
Kun Yi knelt down, picked up the stone book cover, which was not too heavy, and found a line of words engraved on the back. It was not a common language, but he knew as much as Ellenpi about the various languages of the Eighth World, so he translated it directly.
"Sacrifice to the God of Fertility."
"Tch, what the hell is that?" Kun Yi only glanced at it and threw it to the ground with a look of disdain. The magicians were all atheists, and the guys from the warlock department only thought that they were interacting with their superiors. Make deals instead of being sheltered and believe in relationships. The only ones who really think there are gods in this world are the guys from the Light Temple and the Dark Temple.
Yi Liuling saw that he was not very happy, but she couldn't understand it, so she could only ask: "What's wrong?"
"I probably know what's going on. The white witch flower is not a wild plant at all," Kun Yi said. "It is artificially cultivated. I asked how it is possible for plants with this growth method to survive in large numbers in the wild!"
"In other words, this place is used to cultivate white witch flowers?" Fei Huihua's eyes widened, and his voice was a little louder unconsciously, "Wait a minute, you mean, the people here use living people to do this." Flower grower?"
"Obviously, if it's not a living sacrifice, there's no need to create a fake sacrifice ceremony to deceive people. Return to the God of Fertility, haha." Kun Yi looked at the corpses here with disdain.
Hearing this, Ellenpi sighed: "What a despicable descendant."
"Descendants?" Jonathan finally understood a word and asked immediately, "Do you know their ancestors?"
"I don't know, but I can tell," Ellenpi pointed at the corpses on the ground, "These are obviously human beings, but those in the tunnel outside are not. They are the corpses of demons and monsters, and some of them have been carried out. The traces and broken bones on the ground must have been accidentally dropped.”
"Moreover, this stone chamber looks like it was dug from behind, and the color of the stone is different from that in the passage." Yi Liuling touched the stone wall. It was not as smooth as the outside, and it had obviously not been polished for a long enough time.
In this way, the past events about this village were exposed.
In the beginning, perhaps some powerful warriors discovered the plant White Witch Flower, and with the mentality of using waste, they used the killed monsters and demon corpses to cultivate them, and they became a specialty of this place.
However, maybe this place has never produced any strong people since then, at least no famous people in history that Kun Yi remembers came from here. In short, the villagers lost a sufficient source of corpses, but were reluctant to part with this business, so they switched to human sacrifice.
Judging from the number of corpses on the ground, many passers-by must have been murdered. Perhaps the frequent disappearances later inspired the idea, or it may be other reasons that led to the cessation of sacrifices in this area. Eventually, the village declined because of the loss of the White Witch Flower.
As of today, there has been no trace of the White Witch Flower on the market for a long time, so the possibility of the villagers here cultivating it again can be ruled out. After all, they do so many evil things to produce goods, and goods have no value if they are not sold.
"So, something happened now that time was distorted, and someone was kidnapped." Yi Liuling looked at the dark holes, "Did something happen to the White Witch Flower underground?"
He was not unreasonable, because Yousheng told him that it smelled the emotions of other plants in the air.
The emotion of hunger.
