She knew what was going on even without asking. Obviously, these bones were the sacrifices that had been chosen. After they became sacrifices and their blood was drained, the elders immediately activated the trap and let the corpses slide into the tunnel.
Ye Leng’an squatted down and examined the bones. She couldn’t help but say, “The villagers are indeed worse than beasts. These bones belong to young girls.”
She was a doctor, so she could tell who these people were from these bones. Previously, she knew that the villagers wanted to choose pure girls as sacrifices. She just didn’t expect that so many innocent girls had died here. Moreover, instead of being buried after death, they were casually thrown into this tunnel.
“The people here have been trapped for too long and have long lost their conscience as humans.” Huangfu Ruiling frowned. “I don’t know where they got the method to break the curse. They actually use so many girls as sacrifices.
“Unfortunately, they have been trapped here for generations.” Ye Leng’an said with a sneer, “They deserve it. After committing so many murders, it is simply wishful thinking to want to leave this place.”
Although she did not know what the so-called curse of this village was, and why the people here could not leave for generations. However, just by looking at how many innocent people they had killed, it was obvious that these people deserved to be trapped here. Moreover, she did not believe that using some pure girl as a sacrifice could break the curse. If that was really the case, then the person who cast the curse was not a good person.
“There are so many skeletons here. How did they come here?” Huangfu Ruiling frowned. “If they really came here by mistake, there wouldn’t be so many people!’
“The villagers will find a way.” There was a hint of mockery on Ye Leng’an’s cold face. “I think they’re not thinking about leaving. They’re thinking about how to lure people in!”
“Let’s continue walking!” Huangfu Ruiling shook his head and said, “When we get out, let someone come in to deal with the bones here! It is time to let these people rest in peace.”
The two of them continued to walk forward. The flame was like a lamp, brightening their path.
“Look…” Ye Leng’an suddenly noticed something. She pointed at the wall and said, “Take a look. Is this a mural on the wall?”
Hearing her exclamation, Huangfu Ruiling took a closer look. “Yes, it is. Also, the mural seems to be depicting the history of this village.”
She also began to read it carefully after hearing his speculation. “It seems to be true. It is indeed the secret of this village. They are really unable to leave here for generations. And the reason behind this is actually because of the curse!” She had only heard of curses and had never been exposed to them before. She did not expect them to actually exist. When she heard that everyone in the village was cursed, she was a little skeptical.
However, after seeing the mural, she finally understood what was going on. At the same time, she could not help but sigh again. They did deserve it.
“No wonder the people here are so crazy! They’re rotten from the roots.” Her lips curled into a sarcastic smile. “Their ancestors committed such a sin, bringing disasters to their descendants. And their descendants continued the killing in order to break the curse. This is simply a vicious cycle!”
Three hundred years ago, this place was just an ordinary village in the southern boundaries. However, there was something special, the people in this village all knew how to refine Gus. However, they could only refine some simple Gu worms. As for the Gu Kings, forget about them.
The days passed peacefully until an ambitious tribe leader appeared in their village. The tribe leader was called Duo Benli. Ever since he became the patriarch, he had always wanted to surpass the other villages and make their village become the number one in the southern boundaries.
However, having ambition was one thing, whether it could be realized was another. Although Duo Benli was very ambitious, if he wanted to make the village strong, he needed even more powerful gu skills..
