Lai Yiteng caught the scent of something horrible once he made it out of the forest. A stench rancid yet familiar to what he experienced at dungeons of Lushang Sect; rotting flesh.
The area before him was lifeless and dead land, boulders spread far and wide. Stones of huge shapes and sizes, some more square and some rounded, and the smell came from a shallow pit between some of the boulders.
Inside of it were corpses piled on top of each other, at least ten or more.
Mildew cawed and flew over it in a circle before landing on a nearby boulder. This is what it wanted him to see. Lai Yiteng frowned and quietly stepped over to the pit.
The bodies inside were wearing coarse clothes and reed sandals. They looked like farmers, yet there were patches of skin with purplish dots as though from a strange disease, and their bodies had dents as though they'd been dragged a long distance before being left here to rot.
