Chapter 57: The Wooden Boat that Drifted Over
However, when Yun Qin got closer, she realized that this so-called building was nothing more than a big stone with lines carved into it.
When she went behind this “house,” Yun Qin saw a dead pool at the end of the underground river.
However, this pool was strange. Not only were there a few broken wooden boats by the shore, but there were also layers of white-gray unknown objects. There were so many of them that it extended into the water.
When Yun Qin walked to the side of the wooden boats, she realized that the boats were already in tatters. With a casual kick, it scattered into a few pieces of wood, making a crisp sound.
Seeing this, Yun Qin’s eyes lit up. The wooden boats here were actually dry!
Although it was slightly damp, it was still dry enough to start a fire. Presumably, these wooden boats stayed on the shore all this time and had never been in the water before, so they were not soaked.
After picking up a few boards, Yun Qin sneezed loudly.
“I have to quickly start a fire to keep warm, or else I will be in trouble,” Yun Qin muttered as she picked up the white-gray unknown object on the ground.
After looking at it carefully, Yun Qin felt that it might be the bones of some animal. It was likely that it fell into the undercurrent river and was washed up here after it drowned.
After picking up pieces of wood that could start a fire, Yun Qin picked a relatively dry place and started a fire with the lighter in her bag.
Yun Qin felt much warmer by the fire. After heating up food and water, her clothes were almost dry by the time she finished eating.
Seeing that she still had more than two hours before midnight, Yun Qin laid down and prepared to recover some strength before moving.
At this moment, she was alone in the deepest part of Black Bear Ridge with only the little ghosts by her side. She could not help but think of Song Yin.
In her previous life, after she transformed into a ghost and saw Song Yin avenge her and her son, she had a strange feeling welled up in her mind. It was as if Song Yin transformed into her savior and helped her resolve some of her grievances in the human world.
She could not tell what she felt at that time. Was it more love or more gratitude?
Soon, she would have to face this person that she cared about for decades. He was also the father of her unborn child. How was she supposed to face Song Yin?
Yun Qin thought tried to activate her “Insight” ability to sense Song Yin’s thoughts.
However, no matter how hard Yun Qin tried, she got nothing.
Yun Qin was a little disappointed. She used her backpack as a pillow and looked at the dark cave ceiling in a daze.
After a while, Yun Qin suddenly woke up from her sleep. She saw that the fire beside her extinguished, and her surroundings were dark. Vaguely, she could hear the sound of flowing water.
Yun Qin rubbed her forehead, turned on her flashlight, and observed everything around her.
As soon as she directed her flashlight onto the river, Yun Qin saw that something was wrong.
The undercurrent river, which was flowing slowly, was now flowing faster and faster. The water level at the end of the pool also raised noticeably.
From the corner, a few wooden boats floated over. They swayed gently as if there was something on them.
As the water flowed, more wooden boats floated downstream. There were many of them, but they moved forward in an orderly manner. It was extremely strange.
Yun Qin activated her ability but did not find any trace of a ghost’s aura on these wooden boats.
Could this be caused by a mechanism at the bottom of the river?
Yun Qin was puzzled, so she used a wooden stick to block one of the boats. She wanted to see what was going on inside.
Inside the wooden boat, there was a skeleton. Although the skeleton was already tattered, the unknown dirt surrounding it just barely helped maintain the human shape of the skeleton. Yun Qin barely recognized that there was once a human lying here.
On top of the skeleton, there were several iron chains wrapped around the body. One could imagine how the skeleton was treated when it was still alive.
Yun Qin was shocked. She stopped a few more boats and saw that there were skeletons on all the boats. They were once all alive.
Roughly speaking, there were at least a hundred human skeletons on these boats!
Yun Qin was bewildered and guessed that this was some sort of ritual while she flipped through the ancient book in her mind. The stone coffin in the middle of the steps suddenly lit up. Following that, a gust of wind blew into the cave, causing the wooden boats to sway. Yun Qin could not help but take a few steps back.
Then, she heard wailing coming from afar. Yun Qin immediately felt that the evil energy in the cave became much stronger.
Yun Qin thought that she missed an evil-energy-gathering array somewhere, so she quickly sent out her evil energy to probe the coffin in the center of the cave. Unexpectedly, as soon as her evil energy touched the coffin, it was absorbed completely.
In just a few seconds, the entire cave underwent an earth-shattering change.
The cave, which originally did not have a single trace of ghost aura, sucked in countless ghosts within a few seconds. They floated around the cave and wailed.
