Chapter 186 Destruction
Chapter 186 Destruction
As soon as Chu Deng and Jin Dahai entered the passage sealed by the white netting, they were pushed to the very back by the slippery passage. Chu Deng controlled his body and slowed down, then grabbed Jin Dahai, who was sliding away quickly due to his weight.
Jin Dahai stretched out his arms as much as he could to reduce the pressure on Chu Deng. He looked down and saw the gravel slide past him with a "thud" and fall into the snake bone pit below.
Occasionally, you can see a few finger bones, human and monkey skulls, and white silk wrapped around them.
Master Jin could even see the marks on the bones from being cut by a sharp instrument, and guess what kind of mutated animal could have caused such marks.
There were also a few strange corpses, with their white skeletons arranged neatly. Apart from the lack of flesh, even the most experienced forensic doctors would have to say that they were textbook examples of perfect skeletons.
There are only two possible reasons for this: either a special medicine separates the flesh from the bone, or a skilled executioner slices the flesh off the bone piece by piece.
Thinking about this, Jin Dahai felt a chill run down his spine.
Chu Deng thought one step further than him, focusing on whether there were any teeth marks on the bone. After confirming that there were none, she breathed a sigh of relief.
In the end times, when food was scarce, cannibalism occurred.
Chu Deng had encountered such a person before, someone who had survived being besieged by zombies. This person only had the biological instinct to survive in their eyes. Chu Deng would never forget that numb and cold gaze, and the special smell that came from eating their own kind.
Chu Deng, who had been reflexively thinking about cannibals, came to her senses and chuckled at herself for being too nervous.
Although there are people with superpowers now, it is still far from the chaos of the apocalypse.
Regardless, the number of human bones in this cave is no less than two fingers. Even if the mutated animals here don't primarily feed on humans, they certainly wouldn't mind taking superhumans as snacks.
Next to the snake bone pit was a small pool, which was probably the restaurant for the mutated animals. Chu Deng held Jin Dahai with one hand and tied the vine that was hanging down to Jin Dahai with the other hand to secure him. Then he flipped over and used the momentum to swing from the passage to the edge of the snake bone pit and landed silently.
The gloomy cave reeked of decay and blood. Chu Deng exhaled, for even a superhuman with heightened senses would find such a harsh environment a test.
Because the cave was covered in white netting, Chu Deng couldn't use his senses, and even if he did, he wouldn't be able to detect anything. There were two other passages inside the cave, so it seemed that the restaurant was located separately beneath one of them.
While Chu Deng was observing, Jin Dahai was also brought down by Huoshu. He didn't act rashly, but seeing the white silk net, he knew that Chu Deng was collecting this stuff. Jin Dahai took the initiative to suggest, "I think this place is quite safe. You go ahead first, and I'll wait here for you to clear the area before going in. It'll also be good for Xiaoshumiao to bring the fruit wine over and collect the white silk."
Chu Deng nodded without objection, looking at the two paths in front of him, pondering how to ensure Jin Dahai's safety.
If you can't use your senses, you won't know which path is safe. What if you take the wrong path and another mutated animal suddenly appears in the restaurant and swallows Jin Dahai as an appetizer?
Chu Deng has never liked these kinds of either-or questions, so she chose simple and brutal destruction.
With a deafening roar, a fire dragon roared and plunged into the passage on the right, exploding at the farthest point in Chu Deng's field of vision. The passage was destroyed, and the entrance was sealed off by a boulder.
Chu Deng nodded in satisfaction and stepped onto another path.
Whatever scenery the road offers, she can't appreciate it, so she simply chooses not to look at it!
