85: Underground space! Countless victims!
“As for that… oh right, the England lad drinking vodka from a round-eared bronze goblet!”
“You’re probably not right in the head!”
Wu Tian said with a cold laugh.
“Bronze is an alloy containing copper, tin, and lead. Originally, there’s no problem with it, but the lead in it is toxic and easily dissolves in alcohol. You’re using this stuff to drink alcohol?”
“I think you’re a country bumpkin burping, you’ve eaten too much crap!”
“No wonder your brain isn’t working right.”
“Turns out the kid has lead poisoning!”
“Sigh…”
Wu Tian shook his head.
“Fans, stop scolding him, stop scolding him!”
“This kid is already an idiot!”
“Give him a way out…”
England Tycoon: … After finishing off this troublemaking Englander, Wu Tian felt refreshed!
He took the Fatty and Zhang Meng and once again searched through the ruins.
Every bronze artifact they encountered on the way was put into the Fatty’s bag.
As for pottery?
Sorry, the firing technique was too poor and there was too much of it, so it wasn’t worth taking!
Under the eyes of numerous international collectors who would kill for these items, Wu Tian kicked these pottery pieces one by one to the side of the road, muttering words like ‘blocking the way’ and ‘get out of the way’ as he kicked!
This instantly made collectors worldwide stomp their feet in frustration!
They cried out that it was a waste of treasure!
But… they were completely helpless!
Their countries didn’t have a ‘Peach Blossom Garden’ like Dragon Country, nor did they have an explorer as formidable as Wu Tian!
At its core!
It was simply a lack of heritage!
How could Dragon Country, with its five thousand years of history, be compared to other countries that were only a few hundred years old?
“…”
“That’s strange…”
Zhang Meng stopped.
They had searched all the way, basically going through every house, but besides these bronze artifacts and traces of people living here over two thousand years ago.
They hadn’t found any other useful clues.
“How come there’s nothing but daily necessities here, not even a single book?”
“That’s a bit absurd, isn’t it?”
Zhang Meng said, frowning and biting her fingernails!
“Indeed!”
Wu Tian also frowned and nodded.
“Logically speaking, besides daily necessities, there should be some books on agriculture or the Chu region, unless…”
Wu Tian blinked.
“They deliberately hid them!”
“…”
Zhang Meng’s eyes lit up.
“Keep searching!”
“Let’s go!”
The two reached an agreement. This time, their search would not just be superficial; they were prepared to undertake a major project!
Even if it meant tearing down these ruins, they would not hesitate!
“…”
“That…”
Just as Wu Tian and Zhang Meng were about to start, the Fatty’s hesitant voice came from not far away.
“Boss Shifu, Sister-in-law!”
“Don’t come over here, I really need to pee, I’m just going to take a leak!”
“…”
“Bah!”
Zhang Meng spat disdainfully!
“Who’s going over?”
“Hurry up!”
“Once you’re done peeing, come over and help!”
“Awoo awoo…”
The Fatty responded, then walked into a relatively well-preserved house, unzipped his pants, and prepared to relieve himself completely!
“Hoo…”
【The Fatty is a good thing. When he’s lucky, sometimes even Narrator-kun gets a little jealous. Just as he was peeing, he accidentally stepped on a rotten plank and unfortunately fell in!】
【But it turned out to be a blessing in disguise!】
【The Fatty discovered a hidden wonder within, allowing you all to see people from two thousand years ago…】
【Spirituality + 10!】
“Holy crap!”
Wu Tian, who had been patiently listening to Narrator-kun, suddenly slapped his forehead and yelled at the top of his lungs towards the Fatty, who was half-way through peeing not far away!
“Fatty, don’t move!”
“Ah…”
The Fatty shivered!
A few drops of pee splashed onto his shoes.
At the same time, he lost his footing… “Crack!”
The decayed wooden plank was instantly crushed by the acceleration of the Fatty’s sudden movement!
“Boom!”
“Ah…”
The sound of a heavy object falling rang out, followed by a painful cry mixed with fear!
And the rustling sound of pulling up pants.
“Boss!”
“Sister-in-law!”
“Save me, quickly save me, I fell down, I can’t see anything!”
“I…”
“I’m scared!”
Creak… Wu Tian and Zhang Meng stepped on the surrounding intact planks, leaned their heads over the large hole in the ground, and looked at the panicked Fatty in the hole with a half-smile, illuminated by the moonlight.
“What are you panicking about?”
“You’re fine, aren’t you?”
Immediately, Wu Tian also jumped down, then reached out and caught Zhang Meng, who jumped down after him.
He set her down on the ground.
Wu Tian clipped his L-shaped special flashlight to his chest pocket and observed the surroundings.
“Shh…”
“Shh…”
Soft footsteps echoed in the underground space.
Under the beam of the flashlight.
The structure of the underground space gradually revealed itself to everyone’s eyes.
The entire space wasn’t very large, about ten cubic meters, and the three of them didn’t feel crowded inside.
There were no facilities inside.
Only on the wall near the south side, there was a blood-stained torture rack!
“This is…”
Following Wu Tian’s flashlight beam.
Zhang Meng slowly walked to the torture rack and observed it.
She saw that the torture rack was splattered with bloodstains. Besides the grayish-brown bloodstains from over a thousand years ago, there were also new and old bloodstains covering the entire rack!
“Could it be that this place has been used by those sorcerers to kill people and take their souls for all these years?”
Zhang Meng’s expression was a little pale.
“I’m afraid so…”
Wu Tian nodded solemnly.
“I sensed hundreds of units of resentment on this torture rack, which means…”
Wu Tian’s expression was cold.
“Hundreds of people died on this torture rack!”
“…”
Zhang Meng was stunned, then bit her lip and fell silent.
On the other side, the Fatty’s action of rubbing his bones also stopped. He stared blankly at the torture rack where Wu Tian was.
He was stunned for several seconds.
“Gulp…”
Only then did the Fatty swallow, and he spoke with difficulty.
“No way…”
“If hundreds of people died on just this one torture rack, what if there’s a torture rack like this under every house?”
“Then wouldn’t that be…”
At this point, the Fatty closed his mouth.
Such an astonishing number… made him, as a foreigner, completely unable to face it!
“Bang!”
Wu Tian punched the wall!
“Damn it!”
“These sorcerers deserve to die!”
“Don’t let me find their whereabouts so easily, otherwise… I’ll let them know that even having their souls scattered is a luxury!”
“…”
“Cough cough…”
“Young man, what did you say?”
“You’re not with those people, are you?”
Suddenly!
An old voice echoed throughout the entire underground space!
