Meng Xiaodie guessed that this might have something to do with the fall of the ancient castle, or maybe they died because of that disaster.

But from the shape of the bones, it seemed as if there was a brutal battle going on, because some of the bones were entangled with each other, and some of the bones' fingers were clamping onto each other's necks. It might have been a fight between two opposing groups, or perhaps it was a fight for something. Meng Xiaodie looked at the jade ball in her hand and thought, could it be because of it?

The surface of the jade ball was smooth and sparkling. It wasn't a pure white color. There were some cloud-like things on it that emitted a faint green light.

"Is this a Night Pearl?" Shen Hong asked.

Meng Xiaodie had seen Night Pearls before, but they were all smaller than this one. Moreover, the light they emitted was also much stronger than the other Night Pearls.

"A hanging pearl is worth thousands of gold, it is only for the night to reward light. This pearl is indeed rare. Meng Xiaodie said.

"This is great, we have this Night Pearl to guide us and save us the fire piston. Moreover, its light is much stronger than the fire piston's." Shen Hong took it and held it in his hands, admiring the emerald Night Pearl at close range.

"Meng Xiaodie, look, there seems to be some words on it?" Shen Hong cried out.

Her discovery also caused Meng Xiaodie to be especially surprised. How could there be words engraved on the Night Pearl? If there were words, then the surface would not be that smooth, and they would definitely have marks carved into them; it was impossible for him to not notice them.

Shen Hong pointed to it for him to see. There were indeed words on it, but they weren't carved into words, but were naturally formed from Night Pearls. It was a kind of hieroglyphic script, Meng Xiaodie understood it a little, and there were only two words on it, "Volcano".

It seemed like this Luminous Pearl was not ordinary, it could predict the future. No wonder these people treated it like a god, or perhaps it was because of this that they were trying to kill each other for the pearl. In the end, none of them escaped death.

Since there was the Night Pearl, he didn't know if there had been any other traces left here. Meng Xiaodie searched through the bones and found a stone tablet. The stone tablet was also engraved with hieroglyphs.

He wanted to pull out the limestone, but just as he pulled out half of it, the bones piled up on top suddenly collapsed with a loud bang. Suddenly, a human skull flew out from the bones.

Borrowing the light from the Night Pearl, Shen Hong saw a squirming bug inside its skull. The worm was shaped like a silkworm, with two pointed heads, thick in the middle, and stripes on the top. Its entire body was white, and on its back was a row of tiny black lines.

Shen Hong cried out in shock, "Corpse level." Why would there be a corpse realm here?

"What's a dead zone?" Meng Xiaodie asked in confusion when she saw Shen Hong's frightened look.

"This is a kind of particularly terrifying ghost bug. Once it has absorbed into a person's body, it will enter their blood vessels and travel along their blood vessels into their brain, then it will parasitize in their brain, grow into a bug, and then it will be able to control their soul." Shen Hong said.

Although the worm was squirming, it was almost dried up from a long period of lack of nourishment.

Shen Hong stared at the slow-moving insect and said, "When it smells human, it will try to attach itself to human beings."

Hearing Shen Hong's words, Meng Xiaodie immediately understood. The reason why the corpse tide controlled the human skull to fly towards her was to absorb her into his body.

"Let's retreat quickly. There are so many skeletons here, there must be a lot of dead bodies inside." Meng Xiaodie shouted.

"Oh no, Jiang Bufan and the others are still there." Shen Hong also cried out in alarm.

The two hastily ran over. Fortunately, the three of them were fine, but the pile of bones was shaking. They could attack them at any time. Meng Xiaodie lifted one in each hand, Shen Hong dragged the shrimp and left the deep room.

After arriving on the street, the three of them still showed no signs of waking up. Meng Xiaodie then thought about the stone slab that he had just found. He planned to go back and bring it out with him.

Shen Hong did not agree, saying that it was too dangerous. Right now, the situation inside was still unclear, and what if those corpse tide crawled out from the skull and attacked him? What would happen after would be unthinkable.

Meng Xiaodie thought for a while and still decided to go in. She said to Shen Hong, "That stone tablet is very important. The words on it might be helpful for us to go out."

"No, that's too dangerous. If you are surrounded by the Corpse Monster, you won't be able to retreat. You don't know about these insects, they are just like terrifying ghosts. Once you attach them to a person, everything is over." Shen Hong showed rare stubbornness.

Meng Xiaodie laughed, "All the way here, which one of us is not scarier than the Corpse Mansion? We are still fine right now."

Meng Xiaodie insisted on going. Shen Hong couldn't stop her, but told him to go in and get the stone and leave, so she nodded and walked into the tunnel. This time, he took the Night Pearl with him.

Inside the house, he found that something was not right. The pile of bones had completely collapsed, and the human skull was lying on the ground, while the piece of limestone was right in the middle of the human skull.

If they did not go, and returned empty-handed, then this was not something he, Meng Xiaodie, would do. If it was in the past, then he would have to take some risk, those human skulls would not land on the green stone floor for no reason. This was most likely a trap set by the Corpse Spirit.

Just what was written on that piece of limestone? Is it useful to them? Meng Xiaodie had always been curious, so he made up his mind. No matter what, he had to get the Green Slate.

He was standing more than ten meters away from the flagstones. There were two human skulls on his side, with four black eye sockets facing him. Perhaps the corpse was peeking out from within those sockets. The other six skulls were spread out to the left and right, forming a three-sided circle. Meng Xiaodie looked at her surroundings again. The skeletons in the surroundings were scattered all over the ground.

The skeletons were not terrifying. What was terrifying was the human skulls hidden within them. There were even more human skulls hidden in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

Meng Xiaodie had a premonition that these ghosts might be even more terrifying than the spells of the earth. He had never come into contact with such things before, and it was just like when he was dealing with Xue Sha. The evil unleashed by the Earth Demons might be on the surface, but the evil unleashed by the ghosts would penetrate deep into one's soul.

It wasn't just the wriggling of a bug, it was more like a soul attack.
