Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability Chapter 3193: Are the Corpses Moving?

"Uncle Qiushi once mentioned a significant village situated near the Saintess Sect in Yin City. It was said that every inhabitant, both male and female, possessed exceptionally high cultivation levels from birth.

However, for reasons unknown, the villagers contracted a peculiar illness, leading to their demise. Even the alchemists dispatched to investigate the cause of death met the same fate, perishing entirely.

This incident led to the implication of numerous alchemists from Yin City and surrounding areas, instilling widespread fear. Not only alchemists but even ordinary people were too terrified to approach the vicinity of this village."

It appears this location is indeed the village previously mentioned.

"Are these skeletal remains from the villagers? That can’t be right, can it?" the little one inquired.

Even a child of such tender years recognized the impossibility. These skeletons had accumulated over an extensive period; such a scene could not have materialized overnight.

"It seems those people didn't succumb to an illness but were instead victims of the Saintess Sect's machinations, transforming this place into a site for their abhorrent deeds," Qian Yizheng surmised, his eyes narrowing.

"This is a Ninth-grade Detoxification Pill; consume it immediately."

Qian Yizheng produced several Detoxification Pills and distributed them among those present.

Although Min Yi’s account did not specify the number of years that had elapsed, the prolonged use of this site by the Saintess Sect meant that residual toxins were an unknown but potent threat.

To ensure their safety, ingesting the Detoxification Pill was the prudent course of action.

"Yes, yes, quickly take the Detoxification Pill. I can already detect the peculiar odor," Little Nuonuo urged, nodding vigorously. An intermittent, foul stench permeated the air, profoundly unpleasant.

Everyone else: "..."

That was not merely a peculiar odor; it was the stench emanating from the partially decomposed corpses piled high, still releasing a pungent aroma.

An Yilu retrieved several masks from his Qiankun Bag and handed them out.

"Wear these to shield yourselves from this dreadful smell. You... please make do with these." He paused briefly before offering a mask to Min Yi.

The masks were intended for children and did not fit an adult face properly, but they would at least serve to block the offensive odor.

In their current isolated state, there was no concern of being observed and feeling embarrassed; making do was a practical solution.

"Are these numerous skeletons intended solely to feed the Blood-sucking Bats?" Qian Yizheng questioned, contemplating if such a vast quantity of remains was necessary for the bats' sustenance.

Furthermore, based on his knowledge, Blood-sucking Bats subsisted not only on blood but also on human flesh. A single corpse could sustain them for a considerable duration.

"That's improbable; something far more significant must be gestating here," Qian Yizheng countered, shaking his head.

Given the sheer volume of skeletons, obscuring the summit of the corpse mountain, it was inconceivable that they were merely for feeding bats. Could those bats have been sustained for millennia?

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Min Yi's vision flickered.

"Did you just see that? Are those skeletons over there actually moving? Am I imagining things?"

The stagnant air offered no explanation, and the densely layered skeletons made movement from beneath impossible. He doubted his own perception.

"You are not mistaken; I observed it as well."

Following the direction Min Yi indicated, Qian Yizheng and the others perceived a subtle stirring among the skeletons.

"Skeletons, how can they possibly move?"

Despite their young age, a sense of bewilderment, rather than fear, permeated their thoughts.
