Chapter 393: Chapter 268: Do Loulan People Still Have a Culture of Hanging Corpses?_2

Ye Changan was no ordinary person, but she was still a girl who had never killed or drawn blood, so she exhibited the normal reactions that one should have.

Although she regained her calm in just a moment.

"Sorry," Ye Changan’s eyes conveyed, and Yi Sui immediately withdrew his hand.

However, the delicate and soft touch combined with a faint fragrance still made Ye Changan feel very strange.

Perhaps she was thinking about how that same hand had wielded an ordinary sword and slew lives one by one like a warrior..

"What are these? Are there people inside?" Xiao Yu of Rong Army didn’t skimp on her professional and cold judgment, although she glanced at Ye Changan right after speaking.

"It should be, looking at the volume and shape of the object in this bag.." Ye Changan joined the conversation.

Yi Sui glanced at her, "Maybe we should open it and have a look."

This look... trying to scare me?

Ye Changan returned the look and repeated something she had said before, "I have studied medicine, Miss Sui, you shouldn’t underestimate me."

"I wouldn’t dare," Yi Sui hooked his lips slightly, then the Demonic Que Sword Tip sliced...

Rip!

The burlap bag couldn’t withstand the sharp Demonic Que and was directly ripped apart, and then..

Sparse hair, rotten, with two eyeballs barely clinging on in the sockets, a decaying corpse just appeared before them, motionless even though the bag had been torn, with both legs in a kneeling posture.

It seemed as though it was fixed in place.

There was a lot of dust on his body.

Xiao Yu and Yi Sui looked on, their reactions very calm. After all, one was naturally cold-hearted and had killed many with her own hands, and the other was a military woman seasoned with years of iron blood; this rotting corpse truly wasn’t frightening to them.

In their eyes, it was much like a skeleton displayed in a showcase.

Looking at Ye Changan again..

"It’s a bit strange, looking from the condition of the flesh, the decay on this middle-aged man can only be as much as a month, but the skin is completely shriveled, as if it had gone through countless years,"

"And his clothes..." Ye Changan was not fearful or timid, but very serious and meticulous in her observation, and gave her comment...

"Is it from ancient Loulan?" Yi Sui asked.

"Yes," Ye Changan nodded very certainly, paused, and then added, "And he was a military man."

Yi Sui and Xiao Yu didn’t deny Ye Changan’s professionalism, just watched as the latter took out a small camera...

"Do you know about Loulan culture?" Yi Sui suddenly asked.

"I understand a bit, but whether it’s correct or not still needs evaluation from Loulan people"

"So, did Loulan have the custom of hanging corpses?"

Xiao Yu looked at Yi Sui whose tone was chillingly thin, her gaze slightly flickered: "And hanging groups of corpses."

Just as Ye Changan was about to press the capture button, she paused and said, "Actually, to really determine this person’s cause of death and the state of preservation, we’d have to dissect it and see.."

Xiao Yu: "I can lend you a knife."

Yi Sui: "Do you want to do it now?"

Ye Changan: "...I was just saying."

You all shouldn’t be so serious.

Click! Ye Changan still pressed the button, and then...

She took down the camera, her expression paled a bit.

Incredulous and very puzzled, she looked down.

Her breath tightened suddenly.

What?

The two hurriedly looked towards Ye Changan’s swiftly moving camera.

The small screen showed a photo, still of that rotting corpse, but...

The face was different.

The flesh on the face of the corpse in the photo had clearly shriveled somewhat.

The sensitive Yi Sui and Xiao Yu immediately noticed the difference.

"When I pressed the shutter just now, the light fell on his face, it seemed like his facial skin was wriggling down, I thought it was an illusion, until I saw this photo..."

Ye Changan’s tone was gentle, as she slowly spoke...

There’s something odd about this corpse!

The three stepped back simultaneously.

Yi Sui quietly clenched the Demonic Que, while Xiao Yu stepped to one side, protecting Ye Changan behind her.

"Let’s go!"

The three turned and quickly headed towards the end of the corridor, but did not dare to make much noise..

Just as their spotlights moved away...

The keen-eared Yi Sui immediately heard a hissing dense sound behind them.

Dense and numerous...

Magnetic Sensation quickly retreated backwards... soon seeing the gaping opening of the corpse’s stomach behind them, and countless black beetles crawling out from it...

If this one had, what about the other corpses?

"There are beetles inside these corpses, they’re coming.."

The word from Yi Sui instantly altered the expressions of the two, speaking of beetles, nothing was more terrifying than the sacred beetles inside the Egyptian Pyramids, although they didn’t know what these beetles looked like or their threat level, just hearing the word easily brought to mind the horror of the sacred beetles, and clearly, Yi Sui’s tone was very obvious.

Danger, very dangerous!

Run!

The three instantly fled for their lives, but soon, even Ye Changan and the others heard the rustling sound behind them, like countless insects crawling through the dense underbrush..

It was hair-raising to hear!

However, it turned out that the reality was even more terrifying than they thought.

Or rather, ahead of them.

The beetles seemed to have made some noise, or perhaps that rustling sound was their very essence.

As the noise spread...

Click, click, click!

Yi Sui and the others rushed past the burlap bags beside and ahead of them... which were being bitten through!

Wham!

Wham!

In the dim light of the torches, group after group of black specks, each about the size of a fingernail, swarmed out of the holes bitten through the burlap bags...

This was absolutely the worst-case scenario!

Just as the beetles were about to encircle them from front and back...

But...

"They are afraid of light!"

The three immediately directed their spotlights towards three different directions to the left, right, and front. (To be continued.
