"Chewed?" Old Hei was so disgusted he wanted to puke. Didn't Lin Yi mean that someone ate him to death?
"He was eaten by his partner?" James felt disgusted as well- could it be that the people who came were cannibals? Internal strife, killing people was one thing, but why did they eat people?
"I don't know," Lin Yi shook his head, "Maybe they're humans, maybe they're not. Either way, be careful."
"Even if he was eaten, what's there to be surprised about?" Elder Yu saw that there were no other dangers, so he spoke up, "Maybe they ran out of food in the tomb, and because of that, they fought amongst themselves, and one of them died, and because of the lack of food, his body was eaten by his comrades."
"Haha …" Lin Yi didn't explain anything, but he felt that this Elder Yu's imagination was really wild … Other than training, did he live in a fairy tale world?
Everyone walked forward, and the jade's warning signal didn't disappear, but it didn't get stronger either. This meant that the danger was ahead, but it hadn't appeared yet.
Elder Yu was a bit disdainful as he looked at Lin Yi's serious demeanour. They'd been walking for so long without any danger, and Old Hei and James relaxed as well.
But, after another kilometer, Lin Yi stopped again.
"What now?" Elder Yu asked after seeing Lin Yi stop.
"Another one." Lin Yi said.
"What another one?" Elder Yu paused.
"Over there … There's another pile of bones!" Xiaoke's eyes were sharp, and she saw a pile of human bones not far away.
"Another one eaten?" Elder Yu said solemnly after a sigh.
"Yeah, another one eaten." Lin Yi didn't deny it, but his meaning was completely different from Elder Yu- what Lin Yi was referring to wasn't being eaten by their companions.
Lin Yi didn't care about the others and walked over. He simply looked at the bones on the ground and found that they were similar to the ones he found before. They were all gnawed by something, but Lin Yi didn't think it was a human. No one would come here to rob a tomb without sufficient food. Even if they didn't have enough, they could go back and get it. This place wasn't difficult to walk, and there wasn't any danger along the way. Why would they eat people?
Most importantly, the teeth marks on the bones didn't seem to be left by a human.
This time, Lin Yi didn't stop for too long. He continued to walk forward. Not long after, another pile of bones appeared on the ground. It was similar to the previous one, and there were traces of gnawing on it.
"These people sure can eat. They ate three in such a short time! Haha! "Elder Yu laughed after seeing it.
Lin Yi was speechless- this person's IQ was truly shocking. Even if they were eaten by their companions, who could eat three people in one day? That was more than a hundred kilograms! How much meat could you eat in a day?
He continued walking forward, and not long after, another pile of bones appeared on the ground. The distance between the two piles was much closer, only a few hundred meters apart.
"Another one?" Even Elder Yu was suspicious- just how many people had been eaten this time? Even if it was an internal conflict, there shouldn't be this many dead, right?
Lin Yi had a bad premonition in his heart. There seemed to be something alive in this tomb, especially after seeing so many white bones. Lin Yi's premonition grew even stronger.
He moved forward once more. This time, he didn't go far before the warning signal from the jade pendant suddenly became stronger.
Lin Yi quickly stopped.
"What now? White bones again? "Elder Yu asked subconsciously.
"There seems to be danger," Lin Yi said.
"Danger?" Elder Yu paused, and so did Old Hei and James.
Lingshan and Yutian listened to Lin Yi completely, so they moved closer to Lin Yi as soon as Lin Yi said that. Only by staying together would they be safe.
"How come I don't feel it?" Old Hei was confused. The place Lin Yi was at was empty, and there was nothing there. It was just a part of the passageway, and logically speaking, there shouldn't be any danger here!
In ancient times, there were no precise electronic measuring devices and calculating devices. After walking for such a long distance, it was impossible to set up any traps in a passageway that had no rulers or markings. Otherwise, even their own people might accidentally fall into a trap!
Of course, those tombs that wanted to be sealed forever were an exception, but Old Hei and James hadn't seen that before.
"Let's wait here for a bit." With that, Lin Yi prepared to sit down on the ground and stop moving forward.
There weren't any forks in the road, and he stopped without seeing any danger. Naturally, Elder Yu wasn't satisfied. He'd been delayed for so many days already, and he hadn't even entered the underground palace yet! It pissed him off that he was stuck on the road! His time wasn't limitless, and the noble house association was watching him. If he was out for too long and they didn't notice him, he'd be in big trouble!
"What's there to wait for? There's no village ahead or shop behind, what do you want? "Elder Yu was suspicious of Lin Yi's intentions.
Lin Yi looked at him, too lazy to explain.
"Hmph! What do you guys think? I think we should keep going! " Elder Yu had heard Lin Yi say that it was dangerous, but they didn't see any danger at all, so he didn't really believe Lin Yi's words. He thought that he was just trying to scare them, or maybe he was trying to make them rely on him.
"Alright, let's keep going then!" Old Hei and James looked at each other- they could see the greed in each other's eyes!
Greed was boundless, especially after Lin Yi asked for fifty percent of the loot. The two of them wanted to exclude Lin Yi from the equation, and now was the perfect opportunity! Lin Yi had been so suspicious before, saying that there was danger here and there, but there hadn't been any danger along the way. Other than a few skeletons, there wasn't anything out of the ordinary, so they relaxed a little.
"Good luck, you guys." Lin Yi smiled, not saying much.
Xiaoke decided to stay. She felt that Lin Yi couldn't harm her, but she didn't know what Old Hei would do. Xiaoke was starting to regret accepting this mission. This Old Hei was cruel and didn't treat her as an equal at all. He was using her as cannon fodder.
Elder Yu brought Old Hei and James away before Lingshan asked, "Male thief, is there really danger ahead?"
Because of Xiaoke's presence, she called Lin Yi a male thief.
