I, the only extraordinary in this world

Chapter 87
"how so……"

Li Heng stared at the inside of the iron coffin with the light on, but his face showed an extremely rare and incredible color.

He thought of many possibilities—it was a mummified corpse, or a skeleton, or nothing at all, just an empty shell, and even a lifelike and incorruptible corpse was acceptable to him.

But he never expected such a scene.

A pile of corpses, a large number of corpses are piled up in this coffin!
But not human corpses, but rat corpses!
It is not clear whether it is dozens or hundreds of rats, anyway, a large number of rat corpses have been decomposed and mummified.

Could it be that the god worshiped by the fucking White Lotus is a bunch of mice? ?

There must be something strange in this!

Li Heng directly dug open the pile of rat corpses, and suddenly a stench surged up, but fortunately, he could no longer smell it at this moment.

He had already taken a deep breath of air that was full of lungs before this, enough to last for more than ten minutes.

When turning over the pile of rat corpses, Li Heng also noticed something was wrong.

too big.

These dead mice were too big, and they were not noticed at first because the mouse corpses had weathered and shrunk, and their volume had shrunk to a certain extent.

Looking at it now, these mice obviously have an abnormal body shape, far larger than ordinary voles and mountain mice.

Suddenly, he remembered that story.

It was the story of the Republic of China period that I heard from the old man not long after entering the mountain!

Mice, giant mice, is there a relationship between the two?
Li Heng naturally established a connection between the two in his mind. After all, such a coincidence is hardly accidental.

What's more, it is very strange that a natural mouse can grow so large, and all kinds of weird things are hard to explain.

Li Heng could only continue to search on his own, and continued to dig through these disgusting rat corpses to find clues, until he found something inside.

He twisted a dry bone with his right hand and put it under the light for a closer look, for a moment he narrowed his brows and eyes slightly.

This is a small piece of human bone, which has nothing to do with the corpses of these big rats, but it has been gnawed heavily and is already very damaged.

Li Heng continued to search, and as his movements became more detailed, the more clues he found.

He dug out more and more bone fragments from the coffin and put them aside.

After holding his breath for a while, he got up and left the range of the coffin, exhaled the residual exhaust gas in his lungs, and then took another breath of outside air.

At this point, he was able to make a bold guess—there was a corpse in the coffin, but it had been eaten up by the swarms of rats.

When he continued with his second breath, the evidence of this argument was soon found. He found a gap at the corner of the side of the iron coffin, and a shriveled mouse corpse was stuffed in the gap.

The location of this gap is tricky and it's too dark here, so I haven't found it before.

He tore off the dead mouse, revealing a gap with jagged edges, which made him frown.

If this irregularly shaped breach was not caused by humans with tools, it could only be - bitten out!
But thinking about it this way makes one's scalp tingle.

As a rodent that can't stop mouthing, the most disgusting thing about mice is gnawing and destroying.

But it was the first time Li Heng saw a rodent that could gnaw on iron.

Imagine this scene, the overwhelming number of mice swarmed over, climbed onto these coffins along the stone beams and iron chains, and then desperately gnawed on the iron skin of the coffins, making a bone-piercing sound, and finally got a bit by bit A hole was gnawed in a weak place, and then got in. Countless rats began to gnaw on the corpse in the coffin frantically, until it was completely torn apart!
And after eating the corpses, a large number of rats died suddenly on the spot and became these dried corpses left in the coffin.

And judging from the situation at the scene, none of these wooden tribute tables and tablets were bitten or even disturbed. What does this mean?
This means that it seems that these rats are coming for these coffins!

Turning a blind eye to everything else, just for the iron shells hanging here, or for the corpses inside.

Do things like mice still have purpose?
"I'm afraid I'm not the first to come to this place after it was abandoned by the White Lotus Sect."

"This group of rats came here earlier than me and devoured the important things here"

Li Heng looked up at the remaining iron coffins hanging. If there were no accidents, the other coffins would be in a similar situation.

In other words, the so-called "Great Immortal" he was thinking of had already been destroyed.

This can't help but make him a little disappointed, but after only a moment of loss, he suddenly thought of something.

"The whereabouts of rats are regular, and the flow of large groups of rats will leave specific traces..."

Li Heng is really curious now, the feng shui terrain of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the place where Immortals can be forbidden to become immortals, the legends and stories before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the ancient religious secrets of more than 100 years, and the abnormal biological behavior...

Everything happened here, deep in the Qinling Mountains, in the land of dragon veins.

He has a feeling that something key is the node of all this, and that node is what he is looking for!
He began to search non-stop for all possible traces of large-scale movement of rat groups, although this may have been traces of the past many years.

But fortunately, here is the underground that does not see the sun, without the influence of wind, rain and environmental changes, and the traces of many years ago can still be preserved.

Directly pinning the long-term lighting on the top of his head, he measured and retrieved the mountain cavity step by step like a bottom-drilling miner, looking for clues like a firefly in the dark.

"These are desiccated rat droppings..."

Until he found the powder hidden in the crevices of the stone in another darkness, these leftover substances formed a trail extending back and forth in the dark underground.

But compared to where the mice ended up, Li Heng was more concerned about where they came from!

So he finally chose to trace backwards, going deeper and darker underground.

Going deeper, the artificial traces began to decrease sharply, and the primitive and natural mountain cave landforms filled what Li Heng saw. It was obvious that even the White Lotus Sect back then was unwilling to go deeper.

But this also means that the road behind is more difficult to walk. The cracks in the rock formations torn out by geological changes are really rare.

And there is no sense of direction at all down here, and Li Heng doesn't know where he should be on the ground now, and he is still near the entrance where he came down.

However, he wasn't too worried that he would get lost here. With his mental strength and his enhanced physical perception, even the slightest fluctuations in the hairs on his body caused by air currents could be captured and sensed by his nervous system.

As long as there is still gas flowing underground, it means that there must be a hole connected to the atmosphere, so he doesn't worry about getting out, unless he senses a space that is completely stagnant and stagnant, then he will not be in danger.

Li Heng felt as if he was walking in the esophagus of a gigantic beast in the winding rock channel.

Until he encountered another artificial product again, at the end of this dark and narrow stratum, he encountered another artificial product that could not have appeared here.

He saw a well.
