When Kong Rui saw the scene in front of her and then at the hundreds of human bones on the ground, she couldn’t help but sigh.
Right after she had left that space, many voices whispered in her ear.
She couldn’t make out what the voices were saying, but she could sense that they were anxious to confide in her.
“Miss, now we…” Ling Nuo looked at the skeletons on the ground and swallowed hard before asking, “What are we going to do?”
“Bury them,” Kong Rui said calmly.
Ling Nuo was about to agree, but when he turned to look at the large sea of skeletons, he hesitated for a moment. “Should we… dig a hole and bury them… all?”
Seeing Ling Nuo’s meek appearance, Kong Rui couldn’t help but shake her head.
“Step back!” Kong Rui instructed in a low voice.
Ling Nuo didn’t dare to hesitate and immediately retreated dozens of meters.
A black dagger appeared in Kong Rui’s hand.
She suddenly threw the dagger.
The dagger flickered with a cold light and circled the dense forest in front of it before returning to Kong Rui’s hand.
Just as Ling Nuo was wondering what this dagger could be used for, she saw dozens of trees in front of her fall in the same direction almost at the same time.
The huge tree fell and smashed into the ground, creating a huge ditch. The skeletons were buried between the tree trunk and the ditch.
“This…” Ling Nuo seemed to want to say something. Seeing that Kong Rui was about to turn around and leave, he jogged a few steps and followed behind her.
After taking a few steps, Ling Nuo turned around to look at the skeletons buried by the trees again. He pursed his lips and thought to himself, “Her way of burying them is too… sloppy!”
Although Ling Nuo felt a little dismayed, he still turned around and followed Kong Rui in the other direction of the dense forest.
Kong Rui suddenly stopped again and frowned as she looked to the right.
Ling Nuo immediately turned around to look, but he didn’t see anything.
“Little…” Ling Nuo was about to ask when Kong Rui stopped him with a shushing gesture.
Ling Nuo didn’t dare to say anything else. Then, he saw Kong Rui listening to something carefully.
However, no matter how hard Ling Nuo tried to listen, he still couldn’t hear anything.
Kong Rui blinked and looked in that direction while trying her best to distinguish what the voices in her mind were saying.
She listened to the vague voices that seemed to be guiding her in that direction.
However, she was still not sure if those souls were hostile or friendly, so she didn’t dare to rashly follow those voices.
After a while, she composed herself and said to Ling Nuo, “Go and see if there’s anything buried under the ancient tree over there.”
Ling Nuo looked at Kong Rui quizzically, but then he ran under an ancient tree a few meters away from them.
She dug a few meters deep beside the ancient tree, but Ling Nuo found nothing.
He turned around and shook his head at Kong Rui, indicating that he found nothing.
Kong Rui frowned slightly and began to wonder if those souls were lying to her.
At this moment, a voice overshadowed the other vague voices. “Five feet under the tree.”
Kong Rui questioned the other party, “If we dig a pit five feet around the entire tree, not to mention that the sky will have brightened by that now, the tree will also collapse!”
However, the voice insisted, “On the east side of the tree, five feet below the tree.”
Seeing this, Kong Rui could only instruct Ling Nuo to dig a pit about five feet in the direction the voice instructed.
Just as Ling Nuo was about to report that he didn’t discover anything, he touched something much harder than the surrounding ground.
He immediately turned around and started digging around the thing.
When he dug out the hard thing, Ling Nuo immediately rushed to Kong Rui and presented it to her. “Miss, I found it!”
Kong Rui took the thing and took a closer look. It seemed to be a bronze jewelry box.
How could such a thing be buried here?
Under the encouragement of the voice in her mind, Kong Rui opened the lid of the jewelry box.
Ling Nuo was about to stop Kong Rui, but Kong Rui had already opened the lid.
The two of them looked at the box at the same time and saw a small white bone placed in the jewelry box.
This was too strange.
The other bones were piled into a mountain and gathered together, but only this small finger-like bone was placed in the jewelry box and buried so deep.. Why was that?
