Lu Xuan saw a few bloodstains beside the silver-glowing axe...
Damn! Blood again! To be honest, Lu Xuan felt a little nauseous when he saw the red liquid.
If I think about it carefully, how much blood have I seen since I landed on the island?
What made Lu Xuan sigh even more was that almost every time he saw blood, it meant that there were survivors on the island who had died for various reasons.
So on this deserted island, blood is equivalent to death!
"Handsome guy, what's going on? What did you see?"
Seeing that Lu Xuan was fine, he suddenly jumped into the sea and swam to the shore by himself. Yin Yichen, who was on the boat, had a confused look on her face and was rowing the boat slowly towards the shore.
"Don't row over here. Just stay there and keep your distance. Tie one end of the hemp rope to your boat, leaving twenty meters, and throw the other end to me."
Lu Xuan didn't want Yin Yichen to see the situation on the beach at this time. After all, it was meaningless except for adding to someone else's distress and nausea.
"Oh, go on."
Yin Yichen was a straightforward person. Even though Lu Xuan didn't let her go, she didn't ask any questions. Following Lu Xuan's instructions, she used the machete on the boat to cut about 20 to 30 meters of hemp rope, tied one end of the rope to the boat, tied a knot at the other end, and threw it to Lu Xuan.
Taking the hemp rope thrown by Yin Yichen, Lu Xuan temporarily ignored the bloodstains on the ground and tied the hemp rope to the unattended boat.
"Wait a moment, I'll be back soon."
After finishing all this, Lu Xuan still wanted to look around. If possible, it would be better if he could find some clues.
The beach here was nowhere near as wide as the one on the other side of the cliff. The estimated distance from the shoreline to the jungle behind it was only about ten meters. The entire beach was not very long, forming an arc. Facing the shoreline, to the right was the direction of the cliff, and to the left a short distance away was a coast made up of jagged gravels.
Lu Xuan lowered his head to check the bloodstains on the ground. It was obvious that they were still pointing towards the jungle.
Lu Xuan picked up the axe on the ground and slowly walked towards the jungle.
The jungle here seemed to be much denser than the one in Lu Yuqiang's place. Standing on the beach, it was almost impossible to see the situation in the jungle. Lu Xuan bent down, deliberately lightened his steps, and moved closer to the jungle step by step.
Carefully pushing aside the huge leaves of the bushes, I was greeted by a vast expanse of lush vegetation stretching as far as the eye could see.
At the edge of the dense and deep unknown area, Lu Xuan cautiously took the first step of exploration.
The sunlight penetrates the dense treetops in dappled patterns, casting fine light and shadows, as if it is a guiding path specially laid out by nature, but endless secrets and unknowns are hidden in every inch of light and shadow.
At first, the road was covered with dense vegetation, and Lu Xuan had almost no place to step, making it quite difficult to walk.
Only when the undergrowth thinned did the view suddenly open up, and a strange and stunning tropical rainforest scene suddenly came into view. Towering trees, their trunks so thick they required several people to hug, intertwined their branches and leaves, forming a green canopy that blocked out the sun, completely isolating the noise and disturbance of the outside world.
The air is filled with a fresh scent mixed with soil and vegetation, and occasionally you can catch a hint of the fragrance of unknown flowers.
However, Lu Xuan was in no mood to admire the tropical plants, nor did he have time to appreciate the shock this rainforest brought him. He just wanted to find out where the bloodstains on the beach came from...
In reality, Lu Xuan himself was conflicted. Due to human nature, he didn't want to find any human blood, nor did he want to find another human corpse. However, if he really didn't find anything, it would only make him even more anxious and confused...
At this time, Yin Yichen, who was waiting for Lu Xuan on the boat, was even more anxious than Lu Xuan. He picked up the telescope from time to time to check the situation on Lu Xuan's side, as if he was afraid that Lu Xuan would run away.
Of course, looking around at this moment, besides herself, Lu Xuan was the only one left. If Yin Yichen was left to face this unfamiliar environment alone, no matter how brave this girl was, she would have to back off.
Lu Xuan in the jungle had already entered the depths of the jungle. After he continued walking forward for dozens of meters, he made a discovery.
In a dense vegetation, there is a piece of land that stands out particularly. There are no plants on it, only a bare piece of land. Moreover, the soil has obviously been dug up, with obvious traces of human activity.
Lu Xuan looked around vigilantly. Only the occasional bird calls could be heard from afar. Apart from that, the surroundings were eerily silent.
Seeing the traces of human digging on the ground, Lu Xuan had a sense of déjà vu.
Lu Xuan walked to the land, raised his foot and stepped on it twice. The ground felt soft and loose...
It was obvious that the soil had been turned out and then filled in, but the way of digging the hole and filling it in seemed quite perfunctory.
Thinking back to the body burial pit that Leng Mengyao and I discovered when we were traveling alone, the two places had similarities, and it was likely that they were done by the same group of people.
There are two major questions facing Lu Xuan.
First, if this is really another body burial pit, who is buried underneath?
Second, why was this group so keen on burying bodies?
He was afraid that he would not be able to answer the second question for a while. Even if the group of professional corpse burials appeared in front of him, Lu Xuan estimated that the probability of them turning around and running away was much higher than going up to ask them why they wanted to bury the body.
After all, the murder and burial might have been done by a group of people.
However, Lu Xuan wanted to answer his first question on his own.
This time when I went out, I didn't bring a shovel. Besides the Swiss Army knife that I always carry with me, the only thing I had in my hand was the axe I picked up on the beach.
Lu Xuan swung the axe, randomly cut a thicker branch, and then started digging a hole with the branch.
Fortunately, this group of people were really careless in their work, and the soil they filled in seemed to be just for show, so Lu Xuan didn't have to work for long before he found the target object buried under the soil.
After poking it twice, it felt somewhat elastic, so it was most likely a corpse.
Thinking that he would have to deal with corpses again, Lu Xuan said that he was not panicked at all and was calm, but that was all exaggeration.
But at this moment, Lu Xuan really wanted to know who was buried underneath.
Lu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. Curiosity overcame his fear, and he dug the soil again with all his might.
Once we confirmed which side was the head of the corpse, the workload on our side became much lighter.
After a while of stirring, the human face under the soil gradually emerged.
Lu Xuan didn't care about anything anymore and simply used his hand to brush away the last layer of dust covering the face of the corpse.
Squatting down, Lu Xuan took a good look...
