Chapter 4785: More clues?

Seeing the piles of corpses in front of them, no one moved.

The situation in front of me is similar to that before. Not to mention a touch, even a slight airflow could turn these skeletons into ashes.

There are at least dozens of skeletons in front of us, scattered everywhere, and at first glance there is no pattern.

Looking at the surrounding environment, the open space is even wider, and dense words and pictures are still engraved on the wall, which makes people dizzy.

But apart from these, there is nothing else to see at the scene.

However, opposite this open space, you can still see a dark passage, and I don’t know where it leads to.

"Team doctor, follow me. Everyone else stay where you are."

Lin Yi said this, and Luo Qi and the people from the Porker organization followed him and carefully went forward to check the condition of the skeletons.

Step by step, several people came to the bones, and no one acted rashly.

"The clothes these people wear seem to be different from the dwarves we met before." Luo Qi said.

"I've also discovered this. As we advanced, we also encountered some dwarf corpses. But judging from the material, the clothes on these skeletons are more refined," said Alice.

"This also confirms my guess from the side. Those who can come here are not ordinary people. They should be members of their royal family. But I still don't understand why they all died here."

"Brother Lin, look, this skeleton is a little different. The bones of the arm are twisted. From the perspective of modern medicine, it should be a congenital deformity."

Lin Yi observed carefully and found that Luo Qi's guess was correct.

"First, take photos to collect evidence, and then check other skeletons to see if there are any similar features."

"understood."

Everyone went up to check and first counted the number of skeletons, there were 48 in total.

Within the ancient city, and moreover within the underground ruins, considering the population size at the time, 48 skeletons were not a small number and could be considered a large-scale massacre.

As to why this happened, it is still unknown.

About half an hour later, Luo Qi returned to Lin Yi.

"Brother Lin, we just counted and found a total of 11 skeletons. The bones on their bodies have different degrees of deformation. This number and proportion are not small. Perhaps your speculation is correct. This group may have had some problems when it was reproducing, which eventually led to its demise."

"It's probably impossible to determine if the other skeletons have deformities, but it's not like there are no deformities, right?"

"Yes, and the causes of death of these people are similar. Almost all of them were killed in one blow. The murderer was very skilled. The fatal wounds were all on important blood vessels in the body, mostly in the arteries and heart. However, judging from the scattered positions of the bones, they may have struggled before they died, but the degree was not that great. It can be said that it was a one-sided massacre without effective resistance."

"This is very strange. Who killed these people?"

"I think they should be from their tribe." Alice said:

"Your initial speculation may be correct. Because of inbreeding, this group has many people with physical deformities and low intelligence. It is very likely that the royal family gathered them here and slaughtered them all in order to maintain the purity of their bloodline and prevent such offspring from occurring. But even so, it still failed to prevent their demise."

Lin Yi thought about it for a few seconds and suddenly felt that this statement made sense. Perhaps this was the truth of the matter.

But even so, it failed to prevent the extinction of the species.

Whether they are the Naxi or the Dwarf, they are all victims of war.

"Take photos first, keep all the evidence, and then move forward."

"understood."

After handing over the follow-up work to Luo Qi and others, Lin Yi returned to Lin Jingzhan and told them his analysis.

After listening to it, Lin Jingzhan also felt that it made sense, maybe this is the truth of the matter.

"I think we can speed up." Song Jinmin said:

"After so many years, these skeletons are still intact, which means that this area may be different from other ruins and there is no large-scale biological activity. Even if there is, it may be somewhere else. At least the land under our feet is relatively safe."

Lin Yi also felt that what Song Jinmin said made sense, but he still felt that this place was full of weirdness, as if there were many secrets waiting for him to explore.

It took the two groups about half an hour to collect evidence in the open area ahead.

In addition to the skeletons in front of us, there are also murals and texts on the walls.

When everything was settled, he left carefully.

When I arrived in front, I found that it was not a flat passage, but a dark tunnel that extended downwards.

After seeing this scene, no one dared to move forward rashly.

Countless experiences have told them that the area ahead might be the core area, so they must be careful.

"Let's go back the same way, look at the situation above, take a break before coming back." Song Jinmin said.

"Ah."

After deciding on the next plan, everyone returned the same way.

Although it took a long time to get here, after running at high speed, everyone was back on the ground in just over half an hour.

It was already dark outside, and Moon and his men dispersed to various places. Fortunately, no organization came and everything around was peaceful.

"What's the situation down there?" Moon asked.

"I don't see any immediate danger yet, but it's very weird."

Song Jinmin explained the following situation, and Moon said:

"It seems that all the people of the Naxi tribe are dead. The next thing to be on guard against is whether there are large creatures."

"In fact, I think we can't simply think that inbreeding led to their demise. This may be just one of the factors," Jiang Zhengnan said.

"From the perspective of social structure, the number of dwarves is not very large. Even if the two races live in peace and intermarry, there is no guarantee that such a thing will not happen. Perhaps it is due to some kind of radiation that their bodies have become deformed, thus affecting their reproduction. This is also very likely."

After thinking for a while, Jiang Zhengnan continued:

"And the reason why those people were killed was most likely for the survival of the race, or they were infected with a deadly virus and only by killing them could the spread of the virus be stopped."

"I think this is possible. But if that's the case, why do we have to do it in the underground ruins? We can just find a place to deal with it secretly. There's no need to let them all die in the ruins." Lu Yu said.
