Chapter 4784: Buried Secrets

Seeing the skeleton in front of him, Lin Yi frowned.

There were corpses in this place, and they were gathered together. It must be due to sudden death for some reason.

But according to previous speculation, the Naxi clan eventually went extinct due to inbreeding, but if this was the case, the distribution of the corpses should not be so dense, but would be scattered everywhere.

Judging from the distribution of the corpses in front of me, it seems more like a sudden collective death, which is contrary to my own guess.

Is there another reason for their demise?

"Stay where you are. Don't bring too many people. Go check the body first to see what caused the death."

Hearing Song Jinmin's words, the team doctors of the two teams walked towards the corpse.

The clothes on his body had long since weathered away, but he still retained the appearance of a corpse for the time being.

I have encountered this situation before. With the slightest touch, even the slightest disturbance, it could turn into a ball of ashes.

When he got there, Luo Qi did not act rashly. Instead, he took out his camera and kept taking pictures, recording every angle for later analysis.

"Look at the necks of these two bodies. There seems to be a little mark. If it were a normal person, it should be the location of the artery. These people are very likely to have been killed." Lin Jingzhan said.

"If so, this place is interesting."

Song Jinmin said: "This place is in the center of the ancient city. According to the class division, only people of high class or high caste are qualified to come here. People who appear here must be extraordinary. So if someone dies here, it is even more extraordinary."

Lin Yi also understood what Song Jinmin meant. Killing people openly in such a place was strange in itself.

"Could it be that the dwarves sneaked in and killed people?" Luo Qi said.

"It's unlikely. There's an open space around the ancient city. It's unlikely that they could sneak in. There must be other reasons, but we don't know them yet." Lin Yi said.

This problem troubled everyone. Although the truth was not very important for the current situation, everyone had a hunch that this might have a lot to do with the demise of the Naxi clan.

Lin Yi and Lin Jingzhan looked at each other. They both had a premonition that the demise of the Naxi clan might not be so simple and there might be other secrets involved.

However, there are too few clues at the moment, and we still don’t know what the secret is. We can only explore further.

"Why are you two not talking?" Song Jinmin walked over and asked, "Did you find something?"

"I haven't discovered anything, but I just feel that the extinction of this race may not be so simple, but I don't know the details." Lin Jingzhan said.

"Then let's continue exploring. Maybe there will be clues somewhere else."

The stand-ins withdrew and the others were responsible for taking photos and examining the body. It took more than an hour to capture all the clues.

Then everyone gathered together and began to analyze the clues left in front of them.

"According to our analysis, they had fatal wounds on their bodies, and they must have been killed. Judging from the state of death of the bodies, these people did not struggle before they died. The murderer was very skilled and killed them all with one blow."

Luo Qi said:

"Besides, judging from their wounds, it was probably not done by the dwarves. It was most likely done by someone within their group."

After listening to Luo Qi's analysis, Lin Yi frowned and thought for a long time.

"Is there a civil unrest?"

"It's unlikely." Song Jinmin denied Lin Yi's guess:

"When we came here, we passed by the armory. The weapons were neatly arranged inside, without any signs of having been moved. From this, we can tell that it is unlikely to be a civil war."

"I agree with Old Song. After driving the dwarves out, they should be living in peace. It is unlikely that there will be a civil war."

"I was wondering if it was a drama of nine princes competing for the throne, and only a small-scale conflict broke out." Lin Yi said.

"That's unlikely. Even if it's true, it's unlikely that the weapons would be left there intact." Lin Jingzhan said:

"In short, the previous analysis may not be correct. We should change our perspective and rethink the reasons for their demise."

After analyzing the matter to this point, it seems like we have reached a dead end. No one can provide a new angle to analyze this matter, so we can only put it aside.

"Boss, we discovered something else." Luo Qi said:

"One of the bodies was a bit strange. Its bone structure was different from that of a normal person, which is what we often call a deformity."

Hearing the word "deformed", Lin Yi instantly became alert, because this might confirm his guess to some extent.

"Is this only the case with one body? What about the others?"

"We couldn't see the others clearly, and we didn't dare touch them. Judging from the current situation, if we touch them, they will turn into ashes. This is all we can observe for now."

"Go over and take a look."

Lin Yi walked to the skeleton again. Because they were sealed in this place, the clothes on his body were still intact, but past experience told Lin Yi that they would turn into powder if touched. But now these bones are no longer of any use value. Even if they are turned into powder, it will not have any practical impact on him. He can try to turn them over.

Tentatively, Lin Yi took the dagger and lifted the clothes on the skeleton. Even though his movements were very light, the skeleton still collapsed in an instant, causing a chain reaction and turning it into powder.

This was also expected by everyone.

"Did you discover anything?" Song Jinmin asked.

"I think my previous guess may be correct, but I can't check the other bodies and can't find more clues to support my idea."

“But these people were clearly killed.”

"These people were killed. This does not conflict with my guess. There is no need to stay here. Let's move on and see if we can find more clues."

After listening to what Lin Yi said, everyone began to pack up their equipment and did not plan to stay any longer.

No one knows what is ahead, but this place feels more and more weird, as if there are many secrets buried here.

In this way, everyone continued to explore forward with cautious steps.

They didn't know how long it had passed before they arrived at an open space in front.

Something that shocked them happened again. Many skeletons appeared again, at least hundreds of them!
