It turned out that the loosening of the soil in the stratum was due to the fact that the corpses had been opened and buried, and this ten-meter-long and wide stratum room was simply an underground burial pit.

"Thousands of corpses? ......" Hearing Zhang Liang say that there were thousands of dead lives buried underground, Mulan's expression instantly darkened. Her pupils constricted as she looked at the headless corpse lying on the ground, and the heavy rancid smell washed away the earthy smell around her, rushing straight into their nostrils, and a heavy feeling of nausea immediately welled up in her heart.

Mulan frowned and looked at the cruel head of the corpse, and then looked at the dozens of hands and feet sticking out of the pit, and suddenly shouted to the gray-haired wolf: "Two ashes! Dig a few more corpses up and take a look. ”

The gray-haired wolf raised his head and looked at Mulan, blinking his eyes and whispering. Living with people all year round, although I don't understand human language, I can still understand the meaning that humans want to express...... So it deflated all of a sudden, and its gaze was quite complicated. (Here the gray-haired Kui wolf psychological shadow: it!) These things are scary like dogs, can you stop digging them! ）

But when Mulan said so, the gray-haired wolf could only bury himself pitifully in the pit full of corpses' hands and feet, wrinkling his nose and continuing to dig up. Ten minutes later, the gray-haired wolf dug out seven or eight more rotting and terrifying corpses from the pit, and then lay down on the ground with four paws in his hands, sticking out his tongue and panting...... It looked like a tired and paralyzed dog......

Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan looked at the seven or eight corpses that had been turned out of the pit by Erash with solemn faces, and found that they were all ordinary people dressed in rough cloth, adult men and women in their twenties and thirties, their cloth clothes were tattered, and their bodies that began to decay had more or less purple scars that had been whipped, however, the most shocking thing was that they had no heads.

The nine corpses before and after these were all headless corpses without heads! "Both...... No head? Mulan frowned and exclaimed, "Why did you cut off all the heads of the corpses?" She looked at the brutal corpse and thought that these people were adults who had been forcibly recruited from the country by Yingzheng. Looking closely, Mulan soon found that these people were all extremely thin and weak, and it was obvious that they had been suffering from hunger for a long time. It seems that Zhang Liang has been calculated, and the lack of food is indeed the biggest problem, so these people are starving to death after all......

Thinking about it this way, I'm afraid there are few of those millions of people alive, but what Mulan can't understand is why she is so cruel, even though people have starved to death, they still have to cut off their heads!

"Maybe it's not after a person's death is cut off their heads...... From the corpses alone, it was not clear that they must have been starved to death, and there were no other lethal wounds on their bodies, the only fatal wound was a broken neck...... The real way they die may also be to die with a severed head! Zhang Liang thought for a while, and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid the corpses buried in the ground are all headless corpses......

"Decapitation? Why use such cruel and troublesome means, and...... Why do you have to kill these innocent people! Mulan couldn't help but ask rhetorically, at this moment, looking at these miserable and pitiful headless corpses, she only felt a nameless anger burning in her heart.

"I don't know, it's just a guess,......" Zhang Liang shook his head and said. But no matter what the truth is, it is very cruel to turn these innocent ordinary people into headless corpses, and the initiators behind the scenes are extremely evil.

"Let's go......" Zhang Liang said to break the silence, "We have to continue to explore, the masked man doesn't know where to go......" So the two stopped staying and left the room, and the gray-haired wolf naturally didn't want to stay in this weird place for a long time, and immediately followed Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan out.

After leaving the soil room, Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan returned to the silent and long earth tunnel, and the light of the ancient book of words and spirits in Zhang Liang's hand swept forward, illuminating the tunnel that stretched far away, as well as the pitch-black hole doors lined up on both sides of the tunnel.

Behind each of those pitch-black cave doors were the same earth layer rooms that Zhang Liang had just entered, and in each earth layer room was fluffy black soil, and under each piece of black soil were thousands of headless corpses.

Looking at the silent and long tunnel and the dense doors on both sides of it, Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan both subconsciously imagined that countless headless corpses were buried in this layer of soil beneath their feet. Unspeakable horror and misery spread in their hearts, and at the same time, a silent anger swelled in their hearts.

That man, the man who sat on the throne with the eyes of the dragon—Ying Zheng—he was clearly the author of all this, killing thousands of people, leaving them without leaving them all, turning them into a cruel headless corpse, and he was bound by the sin of thousands of lives!

"Let's go......" Zhang Liang said softly, so the two of them did not hesitate, and walked towards the depths of the soil tunnel, the gray-haired Kui wolf seemed to be afraid, and no longer wandered around, but followed closely behind Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan, moving forward.

"Liangliang, have you found any trace of that unknown person......" No longer deliberately thinking about the burial caverns on both sides of the tunnel, Mulan said suddenly as she walked. Well...... It feels like it's not far from us, but I don't know where he is," Zhang Liang said in a deep voice, "Now stretching out of the ground, there are sedimentary earth and stones on all sides, and it is difficult for my soul perception to spread out on a large scale, so I can't detect his traces......"

"Actually, there is a little bit of ...... I don't think the unknown person is hostile to us. Zhang Liang suddenly thought for a while and said, "And we are all intruders who infiltrated Afang Palace, our positions are not opposite, in fact, there is no need to be too hostile to each other." ”

"But after all, we are in a trap and we have a task on our shoulders, so we have to be cautious." Hua Mulan said in a deep voice, "The people you meet are either friends or enemies, you can't" um......" Zhang Liang agreed softly, and the two continued to move forward, and soon, under the light of the fireflies released by the ancient book of Yanling, they saw the end of the tunnel.

"There's no way out?" Mulan looked at the closed port in front of her and pondered, "Is that all...... "...... Perhaps, there is another secret path......" Zhang Liang thought and said. At this moment, the gray-haired wolf suddenly passed through the gap between Mulan and Zhang Liang and ran to the end of the tunnel. Then he sniffed carefully on the ground at the end of the tunnel, and suddenly screamed "whoa".

Hearing the gray wolf's roar, Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan were a little surprised, but immediately, the gray wolf raised his head, pointed to the ground where it was lying with his nose, and yelled at Zhang Liang and Mulan. "Two Grays, this is ...... Did you find anything? Mulan was puzzled and walked towards the gray wolf.

"I'm afraid I found the man's traces...... Two Gray had sniffed the man's scent before. Zhang Liang said as he followed. After walking over, Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan saw the gray-haired Kui wolf half-crouching, pointing at the hard soil ground with the tip of his nose, and then poked out his paws and touched them lightly.

I didn't want the gray-haired wolf to touch his claws, and the black ground immediately rippled like water, and in the blink of an eye, a black shadow with a radius of one meter appeared—another secret passage. Seeing this dark shadow-like secret passage, Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan couldn't help but glance at each other. They still came to the stratum of Afang Palace through such a secret passage, thinking that the secret of Afang Palace was hidden here, but they didn't want to see the same secret passage here again.

"This passage should be connected to the lower strata." Mulan stared at her. "Hmm...... The unknown man has apparently gone down......"
