The further in he went, the stronger the smell became. The green-eyed dwarf could not hold his breath and took a deep breath before spitting out a pool of bitter water.
He hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with his hands, not daring to make a sound. After walking for about thirty to forty meters, he saw a vague shadow in front of him. Shen Hong thought it was a shrimp and shouted twice.
This caused everyone to immediately become nervous. From the looks of it, the black shadow was standing there alone. If it wasn't a shrimp, then what could it be? Could there really be a ghost in this house?
Meng Xiaodie took two hurried steps and ran over. When she arrived in front of the black shadow, she found out that it was a shrimp. However, his expression was sluggish, as if he was scared of something.
When Shen Hong saw that it was a shrimp, he was slightly relieved. As he walked to this point, the unpleasant odor vanished, replaced by a faint fragrance of flowers.
"Shrimp, what's wrong with you?" Shen Hong nervously asked.
He looked at Shen Hong and grinned. Pointing to the front, he said, "Look, it's a white flower."
Shen Hong looked in the direction the shrimp pointed at and sure enough, there was a large bunch of white flowers in front of them.
"Flower of Darkness?" Shen Hong cried out.
"What?" Flower of Darkness? This is the first time I've heard of it, and also the first time I've seen it. Jiang Xian asked curiously.
"The Flower of Darkness was only recorded in the medical books because no one had ever seen it before. It was just a legend." Shen Hong stared at the white flowers with a puzzled expression. She didn't seem to believe that this was real.
"Brother Shrimp, you couldn't have come into this house to see these flowers, right?" The green-eyed dwarf raised a question.
Indeed, no one would believe that the shrimp entered this dark house to see flowers. This flower of darkness was hidden deep within the house, so it was impossible for him to see it. Then, what had attracted him to this room?
In response to the green-eyed dwarf's question, the prawn declined to comment. He seemed to have forgotten everything that had just happened, and the only thing in his mind was the flower of darkness before him.
Naturally, Meng Xiaodie had never seen the Flower of Darkness before, not even heard of it. He approached the flower bush, wanting to take a closer look at it. Shen Hong hurriedly said from behind, "Don't go near it, that flower is poisonous."
He was only one step away from the Flower of Darkness. Each flower was about the size of a palm, and each flower leaf was oval in shape, with each flower having three layers inside and out, more than a dozen flowers. Looking carefully, he found that those white flowers were almost transparent, like warm white jade.
He astonishedly discovered that the flower bush was growing on top of a pile of white bones. Could it be that the Flower of Darkness grew from within the white bones? Was that pile of bones human or animal?
Shen Hong also saw the white bones underneath and was incomparably shocked. The medicine book didn't mention just what it grew on. The miraculous Flower of Darkness actually grew on top of a white bone. This was truly unimaginable.
"How fragrant." The green-eyed dwarf shrugged his nose and said.
"Of course, its real name is Crystal Fragrance." Shen Hong replied.
"Crystal? This name sounds really like the name of a flower. " Jiang Bufan was also close to sniffing the fragrance of the flower.
"Crap." "" Shen Hong suddenly shouted. " I remember that this flower was not only poisonous, but also had hallucinogenic effects. "
"Miss Shen, why didn't you say so earlier?" Before he could finish his sentence, he felt dizzy. A green-faced, fanged ghost appeared in front of him, opening its bloody mouth and pouncing towards him. In a moment of desperation, he pulled out his golden treasure sword and hacked down.
Following that, his body stabilized, and his back felt as if it had been pressed down by a finger, causing him to fall to the ground. The Green Eyed Dwarf's ghost that he saw was Shen Hong. He crazily slashed his sword at Shen Hong, and Shen Hong was already prepared. He continuously retreated, but fortunately, he was not injured. Meng Xiaodie jumped forward and pointed at the Green Eye Dwarf's acupoints.
As soon as he had dealt with the green-eyed dwarf, Jiang Feifan suddenly gave a shout and leaped up, swinging the flying snow sword in his hand and thrusting it towards Meng Xiaodie. Meng Xiaodie dodged the sword's edge, but she did not expect Jiang Feifan's movement to be so fast, he used the flying snow sword, and Meng Xiaodie was afraid of injuring Jiang Feifan, so she kept retreating. Jiang Feifan's craziness was more powerful than the green-eyed dwarf's, so he continuously jumped, and his body floated up to the crystal flower. Meng Xiaodie didn't think too much as she flew over and blocked the flying snow sword, pulling Jiang Bufan over. Jiang Bufan used his sword blade to slice open Meng Xiaodie's arm, and just as he was about to stab her again, Shen Hong anxiously shook out a Hundred Blossom Silver Needle and pierced it into Jiang Bufan's wrist.
Jiang Bufan's body softened and he fell into Meng Gaodie's arms. The two of them were caught up in Crystal Fragrance's hallucination, but the Shrimp just stood there in a daze, completely unresponsive to everything that was happening in front of them.
Meng Xiaodie had the ability to resist the poison. Shen Hong was a poison master, so this hallucination naturally couldn't hurt her. It was just that Jiang Bufan and the green-eyed dwarf were both under the effects of the Fantasy Flower, so they didn't have the antidote for a while.
Shen Hong first helped Jiang Qisha dispel the poison from the Hundred Blossom Silver Needles, and then each of them stuffed a pill into their mouths. This pill was just an ordinary antidote, and Shen Hong wasn't sure if it could dispel the scent of the Fantasy Flower.
They moved the three of them outside. When they passed by a pile of junk, Meng Xiaodie touched something that was piled on top of the junk and was about to scatter when it landed on the ground. Meng Xiaodie used a fire piston to light up what looked like a lacquer box. The jade ball gradually began to glow. The light became brighter and brighter, illuminating the area around it.
Meng Xiaodie looked around and found that this room looked like a rectangular hall. There were circular stone pillars around the room, and each stone pillar had relief sculptures on it. However, most of the stone pillars had already collapsed and were severely damaged. Looking at that pile of junk, Meng Xiaodie was startled. It was a pile of enormous bones, which looked like human bones. With that pile of bones, there were at least one to two hundred people.
Why are there so many corpses here? Meng Xiaodie was quite surprised. Shen Hong also saw the pile of bones, and she sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Heavens! There are so many corpses! Could it be that they died together?" Shen Hong said in surprise.
Meng Xiaodie also couldn't understand, how could there be one or two hundred corpses piled together here? Was someone purposely stacking the corpses here? Or did they all die together? No one knew what exactly happened here, but it seemed that an extremely terrifying thing must have happened that led to their collective deaths.
