He recalled Mi Li's previous analysis, and realized that perhaps this time, the secret realm would really require the two of them to work together.
After his words of comfort, Pei Mianman calmed down a bit, but she was still somewhat absent-minded and lacked her usual enthusiasm.
As the two continued their journey, they discovered several more similar pits, containing skeletons that were all decapitated, totaling approximately a thousand skeletons.
Although the number is not as large as in the big pit outside, it should be noted that the remains here are all those of local nobles and high-ranking warriors, and their quality is far superior to those outside.
Feeling Pei Mianman's body tremble slightly, Zu An pulled her forward quickly, wanting to leave this place as soon as possible.
However, he had to stop after walking for a short while because the scene before him made even the bravest man's scalp tingle.
Because another sacrificial pit appeared before them. This pit was smaller than the previous one, but the contents inside were very special.
Because inside sat 17 babies, not baby skeletons, but babies in their exact likeness, except that they were completely black and had all sorts of strange patterns on their skin.
If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't detect their breathing, Zaun would have even thought they were still alive!
"How could anyone be so cruel, not even sparing a baby?" Pei Mianman bit her lip tightly, her voice filled with fear and anger.
Zuan said in a deep voice, “In the world of my dream, there was a country called Thailand. In ancient Thailand, there was a general named Khun Phaen who conquered a city. The city's chief offered his daughter as a gift to Khun Phaen, so Khun Phaen married her and lived in the city until his wife became pregnant. However, later, Khun Phaen's relationship with the chief deteriorated. Finally, the chief ordered his daughter to poison Khun Phaen's food, intending to kill him. When Khun Phaen learned of this plan, he first stabbed his wife to death as revenge. After his wife died, Khun Phaen cut open his wife's stomach, took out the baby, and took him to a temple. He first lit a fire, then wrapped the baby's upper body in a cloth with scriptures written on it and roasted it over the fire until the baby's body shrank and dried completely. Throughout the process, Khun Phaen kept chanting scriptures. When the entire ceremony was over, the baby had become a lively spirit that could talk and communicate with him. Khun Phaen named him ‘Kuman Thong’ and took him to conquer all directions, becoming invincible.”
Zu An paused, looking at the scene of the sacrificial pit in front of him, and said, "And these babies look a lot like the legendary 'Kuman Thong'. I didn't expect the Yin Shang people to use such a vicious method."
As soon as he finished speaking, the infant corpses, whose eyes had been closed, suddenly opened their eyes, each with a red glow in their eyes, and slowly crawled from the bottom of the pit toward where the two were.
