On the beach, the sand that was washed by the sea was particularly smooth, and the lines naturally formed on the fine sand. It was beautiful, and if a patient with OCD would see this scene, he would be cured immediately.
However, on the other side of the beach, corpses lay on the beach one next to another. From the looks of the bones, they must have just died, but the flesh on the bones was all gone! Only bones could be seen! Some blood sank into the beach, and as the sea ran against it, the blood was brought into the sea little by little and gradually disappeared.
Henry glanced at the corpses and found that there were more than a hundred of them. Obviously, the flesh and blood on the bones had been removed. Some of the bones had traces left by a sharp knife, and some of the bones had not been shaved clean. Moths that could not be named were crawling on them. As soon as people walked over, these moths flew up to the sky and fled in all directions.
"Look over there!"
Gardiner stretched out his hand and pointed at a piece of yellow cloth under the body.
Henry went forward and took out the cloth. On the cloth, there was an embroidery pattern.
Henry's brows furrowed slightly. "This is the symbol of the Grand Xia Dynasty. They're all the people who came with us."
"The flesh and blood have been shaved off. It can't be done by the wild animal. Look at these footprints. They were attacked by others, and the number of enemies is not small."
Gardiner found some traces behind the beach.
"Let's go over and take a look."
Henry motioned to the three people with his lips, and then the four people restrained their Qi, separated into four directions, and walked out of the beach.
Behind the beach was a dense forest, covered in lush greenery. One couldn't see what was hidden there at all.
More than ten minutes later, Henry received a message from Gardiner, saying that the three of them couldn't find anything.
Henry shot out a faint sword light in the jungle and cut a few giant leaves above his head. This was their signal, representing that the alarm.
The four of them gathered under a big tree in front of them.
"It seems that there are guards here all the time."
Gardiner was still cautiously observing his surroundings.
"Search the surroundings. We're unfamiliar with this place, so try to get as much information about this world as possible."
Henry said.
Most of the understanding of the outer world of the Vast Thousand Worlds was based on the tattered book in Nahir's hands. What was recorded in that book were all things recorded in the Mountain and Sea Scripture, and it was very likely that this book was specially left for Nahir by the fake Heavenly Way. They would have to figure out what the world was like by themselves.
The four of them shuttled through the forest for more than half an hour. During this period, they did not dare to use the Qi but relied on their physical qualities. It was not difficult for Henry and Gardiner to search in this kind of jungle, but it was very difficult for Ranjeet and Jone. After all, in the jungle, people had to be vigilant all the time, which was great consumption of mental energy.
Suddenly, smoke rose from the jungle. When the smoke rose, Henry and Gardiner relaxed at the same time.
Gardiner patted Ranjeet's shoulder and said,
"Okay, Sun God, don't be so tight. Your face is so tight that it makes me uncomfortable."
Jone had killed people before, but when it came to treating other people's bodies like food, it was disgusting to just think about it.
Although Ranjeet did not speak, the coldness in his eyes indicated that he was also shocked by the scene in front of him.
"There they are."
Henry stretched out his hand and pointed.
They held back their discomfort and looked over. At the back of the camp, there were two wooden cages. The cages were surrounded by Qi. In one cage, there were imprisoned men. There were some familiar faces among those people. They were the ones who came out from the island. At this time, they were locked up here, and their clothes had been taken off. Everyone was naked.
In another cage, there were women who came out of the island. They were all frightened and had no clothes. There were two strange men with disgusting smiles on their faces. They opened the door of the cage and dragged the two young women out. The two young women were screaming and begging for mercy. However, the other side only laughed more wildly.
There were about 300 people in the camp and they were all clad in clothes that had been taken from those people on the island. Some of them were dressed shabbily, but those who were dressed in tattered clothes had the strength of the Divine Bridge realm. How was it possible that they couldn't even afford to wear clothes?
The people in the camp were all sallow and emaciated. They looked at the food roasted on the bonfire. Each of them had a face full of saliva and it didn't seem weird for them to eat their own kind.
"Are these people cannibals?"
Ranjeet lowered his voice.
"I've been observing for a while. If there's no accident, we will kill them all."
A fierce light flashed in Henry's eyes. He was not a good man, but what these people had done really disgusted him.
