Ten li east of Silver Moon County, a red mist wrapped around the desolation of Huoxu Village.
When the young County Magistrate arrived at this place, he found that this small township was completely deserted.
This sent a shiver down his spine, for although Huoxu Village had a small population of just over 300 households, now there was not a single person to be found, only several dozen charred corpses within those houses.
It was surprising that although these people had been burned to death, most of their houses were undamaged.
"Self-combustion? Very strange, it seems like the fire started from within their organs, flesh, and marrow. What could have caused this?"
After examining several bodies, the young County Magistrate made his way to the center of Huoxu Village and stared at a huge pit there.
He glanced down and his expression subtly changed.
The pit was very deep, at least 80 zhang, and one could barely see the bottom.
