They vary in size, the largest being ten ters long and the smallest two ters.
But what they have in common is that they lack scales, exposing layers of bright red muscle.
Under the shine of the lights, they are numbly gnawing each other, their bellies bulging, far beyond their body diater.
Upon closer inspection, their bodies remain still, only their heads occasionally move, and they keep eating.
As they continue to gnaw each other, the bones beneath them are soaked with dark blood stains, layering upon layer.
Moreover, there are lizards eating the bones and excrent.
"Ugh..." Two security personnel vomited directly upon witnessing this.
"Strange." Daoist He sniffed but didn’t detect any bloody sll.
Crunch—
Zhou took out the alloy staff strapped to his back.
The other security personnel nervously pointed their gun barrels at the monsters, ready to shoot anyti.
"Could they be products of the Underworld?" The boss seed to have thought of a possibility, "Are they surviving by continually breeding on bones and excrent?"
The boss felt more and more disgusted, looking up at the ground above the pit.
Although this large pit occupies most of the cavern.
There is space on the edges for three people to walk side by side.
There are scattered bones on the edges of the ground too,
"Fifteen hundred years ago, this hundred-ter pit should have been full of bones, right?"
"Perhaps." Zhang Feng glanced around, noting the constitution of these lizards is around 80.
They seem quite strong but move slowly.
However, they spit so corrosive fluids to dissolve the bones below.
Facing them if I just arrived here initially, would be a real problem.
Now, Zhang Feng scans around with a question,
"The traces outside the cave appeared recently, should be no more than ten days old."
Zhang Feng looked at the lizards below, then at the surrounding cave walls without other exits, and at the upper wall,
"It’s reasonable to say they wouldn’t be able to climb up here.
So the traces outside the cave must have been made by sothing else."
"Sothing else?"
The crowd shuddered, becoming even more alert.
This ti, they are not only observing the great pit but also guarding the path they ca.
"Do you think... are they safe?" Another security mber spoke with lingering fear, "Those people who left earlier, could they encounter danger on the way back?"
"Thankfully I didn’t follow them..."
Upon hearing this, several people felt relieved.
"There’s danger everywhere." He looked up at the cave, seeing large amounts of Yin Sha gathering there.
And at the center, it flowed down into the corpses below like a stream.
With the blessing of these Yin Sha, the bones below haven’t decomposed over ti.
After all, who knows how long these bones have been stored.
Who knows how long the lizards have been feeding.
Add to that their excrent and corrosive blood; normal bones would have decomposed in such multi-elent compounds, a natural breakdown.
"Daoist He, don’t worry about the Yin Sha."
Zhang Feng focused on the pit’s lizards, examining the cave walls along the edge.
From the maximized spiritual sense of over ten ters at the mont.
These walls are solid indeed without other exits.
As for the ten-ter high walls above.
Since there’s a gathering array, there can’t be any pit.
Otherwise, without a stable array, the evil qi would escape.
"These Yin Sha are naturally gathered to preserve the bones below from decomposition.
And I’m thinking.
Now that we’re at the end.
Then the six realms reincarnation might very well be beneath these bones."
As Zhang Feng discussed these matters, the crowd pondered for a while but didn’t imdiately say ’let’s go’.
Because the place felt increasingly strange, and previously Master Zhang ntioned that Master Zhang is rely at Foundation Establishnt, while the owner here, the Great Yan Luo, is likely at Golden Core.
That’s a whole major realm difference.
Can Master Zhang handle it?
They are curious but don’t want to try.
However, Zhou kept watching Zhang Feng, evidently wanting to follow him.
He likes finishing what he starts and doesn’t like being constantly troubled by curiosity.
"Daoist, could you take along?" He was eager to explore and learn, also wanting to follow.
"Master Zhang!" The boss wanted to follow.
Now, three people expressed their resolutions.
Others hearing this felt hesitant.
But returning, they dared not.
Following, they dared not.
Staying here, they felt scared.
Zhang Feng did not imdiately respond but, before jumping down, accurately judged the creatures inside.
Using close-distance visibility to observe.
Though disgusting, through the boss’s previous talk about genetic recombination and similar topics.
Zhang Feng could certainly confirm these creatures are likely modified in so way.
Looking carefully thereafter,
Zhang Feng received a rather astonishing answer and told everyone:
"Thousands of years ago, they were probably human."
"Human?" The crowd was confused, resisting nausea and vertigo, leaning down to look again.
But without Zhang Feng’s vision, they couldn’t see clearly.
"They have human characteristics." Zhang Feng pointed specifically to one of the largest lizards, which had been devoured by its peers, its belly torn open,
"Its organs are very similar to humans.
I’ve studied humans and biology, I’m sure.
And this place should be the Buddhist’s hell.
This cave is the first path of the six realms, the realm of hell.
The pit of white bones most likely is the second path, the realm of hungry ghosts.
If I’m not mistaken, they were genetically altered by the Great Yan Luo, condemned to the realm of hungry ghosts."
