Suddenly, a cold wind blew, causing Wu Chen and Yu Jiaorong to stop involuntarily.
"It's strange, how can there be wind in this deep sea?"
If we were outside, it would be normal to have wind, but this is the deep sea, and there is nothing but sea water around, and there are no conditions for the formation of wind.
The two looked around to see if they could find anything, and suddenly, they saw some incredible scenes.
I saw countless corpses appearing in the space ahead. These corpses were of various shapes and were densely piled up, lying on the seabed ahead. A terrifying chill suddenly spread out, making people feel terrified.
"Why are there so many corpses here?" Yu Jiaorong asked in confusion. This was the first time she had seen such a scene since she was a child, and she couldn't help feeling a little frightened.
Wu Chen said: "Let's go and take a look."
This is the deep sea, a paradise for all kinds of creatures. Once a creature dies, its corpse will soon be devoured by other creatures, and not even a bone will be left. Even a creature as strong as the Sirius Shark cannot avoid this.
However, here, there are so many corpses. Isn’t this an obvious abnormality
The two men walked over and took a look at the corpses. Yu Jiaorong's face changed drastically, because most of these corpses were from their mermaid tribe. There were also other creatures, but very few. Most of them were from their mermaid tribe.
"How come all these people are from our mermaid tribe?"
Yu Jiaorong was confused. There were so many corpses here. What was going on? When did their mermaid tribe lose so many people? Was this a cemetery for their mermaid tribe
However, she had never heard that the mermaids had the custom of collective burial. If it was not a collective burial, then why were there so many corpses here
Wu Chen squatted down, picked up the hand of a corpse, examined it, and frowned.
"These people have been dead for at least a hundred years."
Wu Chen felt very strange. Even if other creatures like fish and shrimps did not come in, that would be fine. However, bacteria should not be unable to come in. If bacteria came in, the bodies of these people should be decomposed quickly, and nothing would be left. After all, the creatures in the sea water are all very powerful. After hundreds of years, basically nothing would be left.
"Hundreds of years, are you sure?"
Yu Jiaorong asked. She knew nothing about corpses and had no idea how to identify the age of the bones. As for whether it was the bones of their mermaids, it was very easy to identify because when the mermaids died, they would turn into their own bodies, with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish. Based on this feature, basically no one could not identify it. wavv
"Um."
Wu Chen nodded. Although he could identify the age of these bones, he still didn't quite understand how they could be preserved until now.
Is it because of the poisonous gas around
Wu Chen suddenly thought of a possibility. The poison gas here is very strong, and it has a suppressing and killing effect on bacteria, various fish and other organisms. Only a very small number of special life forms can survive in the poison gas environment.
From this point of view, it makes sense.
"Has he been dead for hundreds of years?"
Yu Jiaorong frowned. So, these people were her predecessors. Considering that more than a hundred years ago, the leader of their mermaid tribe ordered that this place and the surrounding areas be designated as forbidden areas, the deaths of these people might be related to that incident.
However, she had greater doubts in her mind: why did these people die here? Is this a large cemetery for their mermaid tribe? And what exactly happened here
A series of questions came to his mind, making him extremely confused.
"Come on, let's go in and take a look, maybe we can find something."
Just looking at it from the outside, you probably won’t be able to tell what it is, so Wu Chen thought about it and decided to go inside to see if he could find something.
"good."
Yu Jiaorong nodded and had no objection. This was the forbidden area of their mermaid tribe, and there were so many mermaid members sleeping here. There must be some secret.
The two of them walked in carefully along the bones. The further they went in, the more frightened they felt, because there were so many corpses here, tens of thousands, and most of them were from their mermaid tribe.
"What on earth is going on here?"
Yu Jiaorong couldn't help but ask the question in her heart. Their mermaid tribe has always been small in number, and it has been difficult for the race to reproduce. The current total population is only over one million. However, there are so many corpses here. This would definitely be a huge loss now.
"Yu Jiaorong, what did your mermaid tribe experience more than a hundred years ago?"
Wu Chen couldn't help but sigh. Now, even a fool could see that something must have happened to the mermaid tribe more than a hundred years ago, otherwise, there wouldn't be so many corpses here, and it wouldn't be listed as a forbidden area, prohibiting the mermaids from entering this place.
"Let me think about it."
In fact, Yu Jiaorong also wanted to figure out the whole story, but she thought hard and reviewed all the books she had read in her mind, but she did not find any secrets, but only found some unusual things.
"Wu Chen, to be honest, I just recalled it and found that there is no relevant record in the ancient books."
"Is there no record?"
Wu Chen was even more confused. Yu Jiaorong was the saint of the mermaid tribe and had a high status in the tribe. There should be no problem for her to borrow books, but she knew nothing about it. This was really strange.
"What about other years? For example, are there any relevant records from earlier or later years?"
Perhaps we can find some clues from these recent records.
"this?"
Yu Jiaorong fell into deep thought again. After thinking for a while, she said, "According to the records of our clan, some things that happened 110 years ago are all visible. There are also some records of things that happened 95 years ago and later. However, the history of the approximately 15 years in between is like a blank. Nothing is recorded."
"how so?"
Wu Chen was shocked. He had never encountered such a situation before. Was it really not recorded, or was it recorded and then deleted? He really didn't understand.
