Chapter 259 Tomb Phalanx
Following Sol’s instructions, the coachman turned onto the path to Mofan Town.
After a short while, the walls of Mofan Town and the roofs of some tall buildings appeared in front of him.
The driver reined in his horse and slowed down, "Sir, the town of Mofan is just ahead. Should I drive in directly or stop outside?" "Stay in the woods and wait for
me like last time."
Sol felt that he was waiting for me this time . It won't take too long to go to Mofan Town, it will only take half a day, so I asked the driver to wait outside.
Suddenly the coachman stared out of the woods and patted the door in horror, "Sir, look ahead!"
Upon hearing this, Saul immediately opened the window and looked out.
The next second, his brows furrowed tightly.
In front of the woods, there was originally a field. The last time Sol came, his fellow villager Ada was plowing the soil in the fields.
But now, on the flat land that was finally reclaimed, there are rows of small earthen bags half as tall as a person.
The little earth bag was like an upside-down bowl, more like a tomb without a tombstone.
At a glance, the small earthbags were arranged neatly, forming a regular square array.
After a rough sweep, there are hundreds.
"Don't come any closer, just wait here." As soon as he finished speaking, Thor rushed out of the carriage like a gust of wind.
He was moving very fast, his gray cloak flapping in the wind. The hood fell off, revealing his short black hair and light gray skin.
It's obviously midsummer, and even the morning breeze is warm on people's bodies.
But now Thor could only feel a biting coldness.
He stepped on the ridge of the field, and several small stones rolled down the soil and fell to the field below, making a "clucking" sound.
The land was as dry and cracked as stone, and not even a single weed was visible.
Sol stood at the edge of the field and immediately felt a strong smell of death.
These little dirt bags are indeed tombs.
This field, which was originally full of life, turned into a cemetery in just a few months!
Those soul fragments that are easily scattered in the air are as conspicuous as will-o'-the-wisps in Thor's eyes.
Thor narrowed his eyes and scanned the entire cemetery with his cold gaze.
"After I left, there was a massacre here. Not only that, they also crushed the souls of the dead. Are they afraid that someone who is good at dark magic will torture the souls of the dead?" There is just one thing that is strange
.
As far as Thor knows, destroying the souls of ordinary people does not require any special magic circle.
Therefore, these neatly arranged tombs appear extremely strange.
Not only are each grave mound the same size and height, but they are also vertical and horizontal, forming a square array.
But in this seemingly strange tomb square, Thor couldn't find any magic power fluctuation.
"Is this based on a witchcraft circle or a sacrificial ritual? Are the barbarians back? Or are others deliberately putting on a show to fool outsiders?" Thor sneered and then looked at the town not far away.
The gate of the town was closed tightly, and the tired soldiers who once guarded the gate were nowhere to be seen. They must have become part of the graveyard.
In fact, before Sol came, he had vaguely thought about whether there would be any accidents in Mofan Town.
He just thought that if the person who secretly obtained the Mosheng Fruit wanted to keep it a secret and not alert others, he shouldn't touch Mofan Town.
Or is it that the secrets in Mofan Town are actually more important than the fact that someone is targeting Moshengguo?
"I don't know what happened to Ada and Penny. I remember I asked them to leave here as soon as possible." Sol was a little worried about the two of them.
The somewhat dull Ada, and the cute girl Penny who is entangled in the cocoon of nightmares.
As an ordinary person, if you want to live more safely in this world, it is best not to have too much involvement with wizards.
Although they are no longer the same person, Thor still doesn't want the fellow villager who once took him in to die tragically here.
However, reason told Thor that if there really was a wizard who wanted to destroy the entire Mofan Town, those two ordinary people might not be able to escape...
"Should we just leave and pretend we didn't see anything, or..."
Sol looked at Mofan again. Town gate. The door was closed tightly, and the silence behind the back door was overwhelming.
There was no smoke in the sky above the small town, and there was no sound of insects or birds.
"Maybe there are clues about Moshengguo in the town." He convinced himself.
However, Thor did not go to the town, but jumped down from the field and walked directly to a grave.
He carefully released a detect witchcraft, and the grave had no reaction.
"Even if there were any witchcraft circles or sacrificial rituals arranged here, they are now abandoned. There is no magic wave left." After the inspection,
Thor immediately squatted down, inserted his hands into the soil, and dug out a large piece of grave soil. , set aside.
He wanted to open the tomb and see what was underneath.
"Sir, let me do this kind of work." The coachman, who was standing on tiptoe and watching from a distance, saw Thor starting to dig the grave with his bare hands and shouted loudly.
Sol didn't look back, he just raised his arms and waved to signal the driver not to come over, and continued to dig up the soil.
After the transformation, although his skin has returned to a human appearance, his strength and toughness are far superior to those of ordinary warriors.
Digging a grave with bare hands is easy and faster than holding a shovel.
As for why witchcraft is not used, it is because the energy released by witchcraft will destroy the secrets.
A few minutes later, with Saul's careful movements, a grave was hollowed out, revealing a package inside.
The material used for wrapping was just a shabby shirt with bright red blood overflowing on it.
"The blood stains are as bright as freshly shed blood. There is indeed something abnormal about this tomb square."
Judging from the size of the package, it is definitely not a complete corpse inside.
Thor frowned and opened the package.
Inside were several pieces of meat that were fresh enough to be thrown on the market board.
Sol turned the pieces of meat with his hands through the cloth.
Another eye was found under some unknown pieces of flesh.
"Dismember the body?"
It's becoming more and more like a barbarian's method.
Thor stood up and looked again at the other tombs.
He randomly selected graves to dig, some in the center and some on the edges.
Inside these tombs are pieces of flesh wrapped in a simple piece of clothing.
Thor found three hands in one of the graves. And judging from the shape of the hands, they belong to three people respectively.
Now Sol can basically confirm that the pieces of meat in each grave bag do not belong to the same person.
The bodies were not dismembered, but mixed and buried.
Saul rewrapped the stumps in clothes and placed them back in the grave, but did not immediately cover them with soil.
Thor returned to the field ridge and was silent for a long time. Then he raised his hand and called out the mage's hand to cover back the loose soil he dug up.
"There are no witchcraft props or magic circles hidden under the tomb. Is it true that someone out of boredom made an art display using everyone's corpses?" With
no more discoveries in the tomb, Thor decided to enter Mofan Town.
After cleaning up the dirt on his body and hands, Thor put on his hood and walked slowly towards the town.
However, when Sol was only ten meters away from the gate of the town, the gate of Mofan Town suddenly "squeaked" and was pushed open a small crack.
An old man leaned out half of his body.
This man was unkempt and his face was dirty, but Thor still recognized his identity the moment he saw him.
"Old madman?"
Saul walked forward quickly. Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly stretched out a dry and thin arm and pushed forward.
"Go back quickly." He said, "Don't come in."
Of course, Sol wouldn't be let go by him just like that.
Instead of retreating, he advanced, "Old madman, are you still alive? Where are the others? Where are Ada and Penny?" The
old madman was shocked. He raised his head and looked at Sol with a complicated face, and his eyes were gradually filled with crazy emotions.
"I just said that we can't make deals with barbarians, no, no... the village is destroyed, everyone is dead... the village is destroyed, everyone is dead..." He didn't wait for
Thor to say anything more, and suddenly got back inside. , slamming the door shut.
Sol walked to the city gate, put his hand on the gate and was about to push it, when he suddenly heard the sound of the tide.
"Wow... wow... wow..."
Mofan Town is located in Mobei, a place with scarce water resources. And Saul remembered that there was no river in the town at all.
Where did the surging sound come from?
