Chapter 613 Disposing of a Corpse? A Hidden World!

Que'er chimed in from behind, "Yes, Miss, you must promise Granny and me this, or we'll write to the old lady right away!"

Hearing them threaten her, Li Qingluo was both amused and exasperated.

She naturally wouldn't be angry.

On the contrary, it was very heartwarming.

"Okay, I promise you."

Granny Zheng and Que'er breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily.

Zhuiyu quickly realized that the three of them were hiding something from her.

However, he is now avoiding Que'er himself, so he can no longer try to find out her secrets.

Granny Zheng has a mouth made of iron; it's impossible to saw it open.

So, Zhuiyu turned her gaze to Qinling, who also had a different attitude.

But before he even got close to Qinling, he heard Li Qing give the order to break camp and leave that very night.

Having killed over a hundred people, it's certainly not a good place to stay any longer.

However, they couldn't just leave these hundred-plus corpses lying there.

Otherwise, Liu Li's family might not have survived.

“If we burn it, it’s not far from Eagle City, and the fire will quickly attract people here, so this method is not feasible.”

"The pit is huge, with over a hundred people buried there. It won't be finished even by daybreak. And the fresh soil will be easily discovered."

How can I destroy the evidence of a body?

Killing Yi was a bit of a pity: "If only we had incinerator water."

What is that?

Li Qinglu stared at Sha Yi with curiosity.

Kill One: "Girl, that's an extremely evil poison. Just one drop, if placed on a corpse, will quickly turn into a pool of corpse fluid."

Li Qingluo: "Such a thing exists in the world?"

She had indeed never heard of it.

Liu Li hesitated for a moment and said, "Young master, although we don't have any corpse-dissolving liquid, it's not difficult to deal with these hundred-plus corpses. We can just throw them into that pool."

Li Qingluo quickly understood what place Liu Li was referring to.

"The pool you mentioned, could it be the pool in the cave where you kidnapped me?"

"How can this pool hold more than a hundred corpses?"

"Won't the bazaar find out if we just throw it in?"

Liu Li nodded repeatedly: "Yes, young master, it's that pond."

"This pool is very strange and eerie."

"Over the years, countless corpses have been thrown into the pool, it can never be filled, but it has never sunk down."

"Moreover, once the remains are thrown in, they can never be retrieved."

"It is bottomless, and no one who jumps in alive can ever surface again."

"The most terrifying place in Eagle City is also the place where many vicious criminals kill people and dump their bodies."

Even Zhuiyu felt a chill run down his spine.

"What kind of place is this?"

"Eagle City is truly a city of sin."

Li Qingluo: "No wonder, even though the pool is full of water, the people of Yingcheng are still short of water to drink."

"Because no one dares to use that pool of water."

"Let's go, transport the corpses, to the grotto!"

Li Qingluo and her group had already sold all their horses before entering the desert.

So now we ride camels.

Camels are expensive, but Li Qingluo is now very wealthy and bought twenty camels in one go.

It wouldn't be difficult to transport more than a hundred corpses using these twenty camels.

Several bodies were carried on one camel's back, and they were all carried in one go.

After saying goodbye to his family, Liu Li used a special tool to clean up the bloodstains on the ground, waved goodbye, and left with Li Qingluo and the others that very night.

Liu Li's home is not too far from the grottoes.

Half an hour later, the bodies were all thrown into the pool.

As the bodies sank one by one, everyone felt a strange mix of emotions.

The four generals tried to sink a three-meter-long stick vertically into the pool, but the stick was completely submerged, and the pool still hadn't reached the bottom.

"It seems that it is more than just a pool."

No one knows exactly how deep it is.

"Miss, shall we rest here tonight?"

"This place is a bit creepy."

Sparrow rubbed her arms, feeling a chill run through her body.

Sha San immediately draped an outer garment over her.

Granny Zheng also draped a cloak over Li Qingluo.

"Young lady, what's your decision? How about we set up camp outside?"

Li Qingluo: "I'm too lazy to bother, so I'll just make do here for the night and set off early tomorrow morning."

Zhuiyu went to bring in the thick quilt.

He threw it on the ground and made Li Qing sit down.

Then he tossed another bed aside, glancing only at Que'er: "Nothing else, just for you two little girls, I took it along the way."

Que'er hesitated for a moment, but Sha San persuaded her, "Sit down, it's alright."

During this period, it was obvious that Zhuiyu was avoiding suspicion.

He no longer pestered the sparrow, and his gaze was no longer fixed on the sparrow as it used to be.

It seems like he's really let go?

As a man himself, Sha San could sense that Zhui Yu's hostility towards him had decreased.

His hostility gradually subsided, since he was doing things in front of the girl and didn't want things to become completely awkward between them.

Before Li Qingluo could even sit down, Li Yunchu rushed in from outside in a panic.

"Fire, fire, it's fireflies, no, it's not fireflies!"

"Come out and take a look!"

Sha Yi and Zhui Yu immediately went out together.

The two men entered with grave expressions: "Miss, quite a few troops are heading this way."

"Judging from the flames, there are at least five hundred."

"Judging by the distance, we should arrive here in no more than fifteen minutes!"

Granny Zheng nervously supported Li Qingluo: "Have we been discovered?"

Li Qingluo immediately stood up and looked at Liu Li: "Is there a place to hide here, or another exit?"

Liu Li: "Yes! By going around from the side, we can temporarily avoid it and reach the back slope."

Li Qingluo made a decisive decision: "Let's go!"

However, it is very difficult to move twenty camels away quickly.

Fortunately, Liu Li knew how to drive camels, and he easily drove them all up the hillside.

Not long after they circled around to the back slope, they heard a rumbling sound of footsteps ahead.

"Search here, search there!"

"Boss, someone definitely came here. There are footprints all over the ground!"

The sounds could be faintly heard, indicating that this was not a true hiding place.

Seeing that they could be found at any moment, Li Qingluo and her group had no choice but to continue searching for a way out.

Just then, Sha Wu noticed that the stone he was holding was different from the ones around him.

He quickly used the hilt of his sword to poke around the stone.

He soon discovered that the surrounding soil was too soft.

Although Eagle City is located in the desert, it is not entirely desert that a city can be built here.

In particular, Yingcheng and its surrounding areas are covered with relatively hard yellow sand and soil.

However, the place where they are hiding now is quite different.

Kill Five landed a punch.

He actually hammered a large hole into the soil.

Kill Five was so surprised that his mouth was half open, and then he threw another punch.

Soon, Sha Er noticed his unusual behavior and followed him over. He saw Sha Wu hammering a hole in the stone wall and quickly started hammering as well.

For some reason, six killers suddenly came over and started punching him.

The commotion was quite loud, and Li Qingluo heard it too.

"What's wrong?"

Before the words were even finished, a loud 'boom' suddenly sounded in front of Sha Wu and the others.

The stone wall collapsed.

Looking inside, a huge hole had collapsed out.

Sha Er poked his head in for a look, then turned back with some surprise: "Miss, there's a hidden world inside."

The group went inside.

Unlike the previous entrance, this one is a dark and damp stone path.

Torches were lit.

Li Qingluo walked in the very middle.

Liu Li led the way.

"What kind of place is this? I've never been here before."

"I've lived in Eagle City for over ten years and I never knew there was such a place behind this grotto."

"I wonder what lies ahead?"

Soon, the sound of water ahead became more and more obvious and louder.

Before long they arrived at a cliff waterfall.

Water flowed out from two dark streams beside it.

The water gathered at their feet, forming a pool, and then became a waterfall that flowed down.

If you walk forward, there is a dark and bottomless abyss!

"Be careful, young lady!"

Granny Zheng held Li Qingluo tightly, preventing her from going any further. Looking up, she saw stone pillars overhead that resembled icicles.

Looking down, even with a torch, you can't see what's under your feet.

"Look, girl, there seems to be an iron chain over there!"

Sha Yi pointed to the dark, suspended space and said.

Upon closer inspection, everyone saw that it was indeed an iron chain as thick as an arm, hanging at the mouth of the waterfall, stretching towards an unknown place that was dark and shrouded in mist, with no end in sight.

Sha Yi turned around and asked for permission: "Please allow me to go ahead and scout things out, young lady."

Li Qingluo nodded: "Be careful, go ahead."

Sha Yi glanced at Zhui Yu and nodded to him secretly, indicating that he would leave this place to him.

He leaped onto the iron chains and carefully walked forward, soon disappearing into the mist.

After a while, the rattling of the chains stopped.

"Kill one?"

Kill Two shouted.

The only response was the thunderous sound of water.

The chains were definitely no longer moving!

Everyone couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Zhuiyu shouted a few times, "Hey! Kill One!? If you're still alive, answer me!"

Kill two, kill three, kill four, and so on, and they all started shouting "Kill one!"

However, there was still no response.

Everyone's hearts sank to the bottom.

Liu Li remained relatively calm, and hesitantly guessed, "Could it be that the chain is too long, or perhaps this guard has already gone somewhere up there?"

Just as Liu Li finished speaking, the iron chain suddenly shook violently again!

Then, Sha Yi suddenly leaped out of the mist.

"girl!"

Sha Yi landed steadily and then reported, "Miss, there is a pitch-black statue opposite us."

There seems to be something behind the statue.

"I'll return and report to you first. Would you like me to continue investigating?"

Seeing that he had returned unharmed, Li Qingluo also breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhuiyu punched him in the chest, angrily saying, "What's wrong with you?! We've been shouting ourselves hoarse over here, didn't you hear us?"

Sha Yi was puzzled: "I really didn't hear it."

The last character, "杀" (kill), suddenly said, "Miss, there seem to be footsteps behind us."
