My understanding is incredible: I gained enlightenment and immortality in the Kunlun Demon Kingdom

The two continued along the cave. After a while, something strange happened again, because the cave became wider again, and a strong and pungent stench hit their noses.

"Ugh~" Zhang Qiling couldn't stand the smell and covered his mouth and vomited.

"Ugh!!!" Zhang Qiling spit on Chen Ze's face.

Chen Ze touched his face with his hand, "Damn, what the hell?"

"Brother Chen, we can't go any further. It's the stench of corpses!" Zhang Qiling said, pointing at the dark and rumbling cave wall below.

Chen Ze looked down and said, "Damn, how did we fall into the corpse pit? Are these guys trying to drown us?"

Chen Ze and Zhang Qiling looked at each other and saw the fear in each other's eyes. Chen Ze even squatted on the ground.

Zhang Qiling quickly supported Chen Ze and asked, "Brother Chen, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Ze pointed at a pile of white skeletons at his feet and said, "See that pile of bones? Do you dare to go down after seeing this pile of bones?"

"Forehead!"

Zhang Qiling was silent. Indeed, he was scared.

"Brother Chen, why don't we retreat?" Zhang Qiling suggested.

"Retreat? We can't retreat. Let me see if I can move these corpses away." Chen Ze squatted down and began trying to move the corpses.

However, these corpses were very heavy, and Chen Ze tried to move them several times but still failed.

Chen Ze was a little anxious. With so many corpses pressing on his shoulders, Chen Ze felt like his neck was about to break.

"System, help me check the origins of these bones!" Chen Ze thought of the system store. Since he couldn't open them, he could only ask the system for help.

"Ding! The host can use the system mall to redeem items or consume points to redeem items." The system's prompt sound came quickly.

Chen Ze chose to use points to redeem items without hesitation.

Soon, Chen Ze exchanged for a shovel, which Chen Ze had bought in the supermarket before. He originally wanted to use it to sharpen pencils, but now it seems to be of little use.

"Zhang Qiling, I have some tools here. We can try to see if we can move them away." Chen Ze handed the shovel to Zhang Qiling.

Zhang Qiling took the shovel and started digging the soil. "Brother Chen, is this shovel okay?" Zhang Qiling expressed doubt.

After all, Zhang Qiling had never dug a hole before, and he couldn't dig very far with this shovel. If this was just soil, it would be fine, but what if he dug up a corpse?
Chen Ze ignored Zhang Qiling's words and began to dig the hole diligently. Chen Ze didn't understand the structure of the soil very well, but he had a feeling that if he didn't eliminate the danger as soon as possible, something would definitely happen.

So Chen Ze tried his best to dig the hole out. Seeing this, Zhang Qiling stopped talking and started to dig the hole seriously.

When Chen Ze was digging in the soil with a hoe, a gust of wind suddenly blew, causing the soil to shake.

Zhang Qiling panicked immediately. He didn't know if the vibration was caused by the pit he dug. If not, wouldn't Chen Ze be in dire straits?
Zhang Qiling thought about it, threw away the shovel in his hand, then lay down and prepared to cover Chen Ze.

But Zhang Qiling obviously overestimated himself, because Chen Ze didn't notice the detail that Zhang Qiling threw away the hoe at all, and Chen Ze continued to dig hard.

Seeing this, Zhang Qiling had no choice but to save himself.

Zhang Qiling picked up the stone next to him and threw it down. It hit the ground and a hole was created in the soil. Then he threw a few more stones down and a bigger hole was created in the soil. This would reduce the amount of mud and sand filling and prevent soil collapse.

Zhang Qiling seized the opportunity, jumped down, picked up Chen Ze and dragged him up.

The situation was better this time. Chen Ze was successfully pulled out. Chen Ze breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the hole he had smashed open. Chen Ze frowned, as if thinking about something.

Zhang Qiling saw Chen Ze's expression and asked, "Brother Chen, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

“I think I understand!”

"Understand? Who understands?" Zhang Qiling didn't know what Chen Ze meant.

"These bones have been buried for such a long time, but they still maintain their intact shape. This proves that they were in a state of movement before they died, so it is impossible for them to rot!" Chen Ze speculated.

"Then how did they die?" Zhang Qiling asked curiously.

"I don't know about that either. Anyway, the corpses haven't decayed, so they definitely didn't die of starvation." Chen Ze guessed. "So what should we do next?" Zhang Qiling asked.

"Of course I'm leaving here. I don't want to stay in this damn place anymore." Chen Ze said and prepared to turn around.

At this moment, Chen Ze heard a slight noise behind him.

"What is that?" Chen Ze stopped.

"I don't know either. I seemed to hear someone breathing. Listen!" Zhang Qiling pressed against the wall and listened attentively.

Chen Ze held his breath and listened, then raised his index finger to Zhang Qiling and made a hushing gesture.

Zhang Qiling understood and shut up immediately.

Chen Ze slowed down his breathing and moved himself slightly to keep his head level with the sound source.

Chen Ze saw a pair of green eyes through the gap.

Those were a pair of human eyes, with sunken eye sockets, exposed eyeballs, gray skin, and even visible internal organs.

Although Chen Ze is not a human, this scene still makes Chen Ze shudder.

"Brother Chen, there is someone here!" Zhang Qiling exclaimed.

Chen Ze quickly covered Zhang Qiling's mouth and signaled Zhang Qiling to be quiet.

"Who are you?" Chen Ze stared at the empty grave in front of him.

There was a rustling sound coming from the grave, as if something was crawling.

"Don't make any noise!" Chen Ze signaled Zhang Qiling to calm down.

The sound from the grave gradually disappeared, and the branches around the grave began to shake.

Then the coffin lid on the grave began to rise slowly, and a shriveled corpse crawled out from the coffin.

When Zhang Qiling saw the dried-up corpse, his calves trembled with fear. He had never seen such a corpse before. Not only was it dried up, but it was also covered with maggots and rat droppings.

"Ah~"

The corpse suddenly let out a strange cry and then rushed towards Chen Ze.

Zhang Qiling shouted, "Brother Chen, be careful!"

As soon as Zhang Qiling finished speaking, Chen Ze dodged the attack of the corpse. Chen Ze punched the corpse, and the corpse flew backwards and fell heavily several meters away.

"Bang! Bang! Bang..." Chen Ze punched and kicked the dried corpse, causing it to roll continuously. The corpse could no longer withstand Chen Ze's attacks.

"Puff!" The mummy finally couldn't hold on any longer, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then lay there motionless.

"Brother Chen, he can't be dead, right?" Zhang Qiling asked weakly as he looked at the motionless corpse lying on the ground.

Chen Ze ignored Zhang Qiling and walked around the corpse to observe.

Chen Ze looked at the body carefully. It should be a female body, about 40 or 50 years old, with an ordinary appearance and no makeup on her face.

The most important thing is that the clothes she wore were ancient costumes.

It seems that all the women in this village were buried alive. These female corpses were probably buried alive when they were alive. No wonder they are preserved so well. These women are very determined.

"Brother Chen, what should we do with this corpse?" Zhang Qiling asked.

"Take it with you first and see if we can find any clues. If we can follow the clues, we may be able to catch the murderer." Chen Ze said.

Chen Ze decided to take the body with him because he wanted to study it. Since everyone in the village was dead, Chen Ze thought the murderer might also be dead. If the body could leave any clues for him, then it would be a worthy death. (End of this chapter)
