C860 There Were Many Suspicious Points
"Strange, why is there wind in the deep sea?"
If it was outside, it would be normal for there to be wind, but this was the deep sea. Other than seawater, there was no other conditions for wind to form.
The two of them looked around to see if they could find anything. At this moment, they suddenly saw some unbelievable scenes.
They saw that countless corpses had appeared in the space ahead of them. These corpses were in various shapes and sizes. They were densely piled up and lying at the bottom of the ocean. A terrifying chill was felt all of a sudden. It was terrifying.
"Why are there so many corpses here?" Yu Jiaorong asked in confusion. This was the first time in her life that she had seen such a scene. She could not help but feel frightened.
Wu Chen said, "Let's go and take a look."
This was the deep sea, a paradise for all kinds of creatures. Once a creature died, its corpse would soon be devoured by other creatures, not even its bones would be left behind. Even an existence as powerful as the Sirius Shark couldn't be avoided.
However, there were so many corpses here. If this wasn't an obvious anomaly, what else could it be?
The two of them walked over and looked at the corpses. Yu Jiaorong's facial expression changed drastically because most of these corpses belonged to the Mermaid Clan. There were other creatures as well, but there were only a few of them. The main thing was the skeletons of Mermaid Clan.
"Why are these people all from the Mermaid Clan?"
Yu Jiaorong was stunned. There were so many corpses here. What was going on? When did the Mermaid Clan lose so many people? Could it be that this was a graveyard for the Mermaid Clan?
However, she had never heard of the tradition of the Mermaid Clan to bury all of them together. If it wasn't for the collective burial, then why were there so many corpses here?
Wu Chen squatted down and picked up a corpse's hand. After checking it, he frowned.
"These people have been dead for at least a hundred years."
Wu Chen felt it was very strange, even if other creatures like fish and prawns did not come in. That was fine, but it should not be that bacteria could not come in. If bacteria came in, the corpses of these people would be decomposed very quickly. Nothing will be left behind, after all, the creatures in the sea... They were all very powerful, over a hundred years old... Basically, nothing would be left behind.
"A hundred years, are you sure?"
Yu Jiaorong asked. She knew nothing about corpses and did not know how to identify the age of the bones. As for whether it was the corpse of the Mermaid Clan, it was easy to tell. Because when the Mermaid Clan died, it would become the true form of the Mermaid Clan. The upper half of the body was that of a human while the lower half was that of a fish. From this characteristic, one could tell that the upper half of the body was that of a human and the lower half of the body was that of a fish. Basically, there was no one who couldn't identify them.
"Okay."
Wu Chen nodded his head. Although he could tell the age of these skeletons, he still didn't quite understand how they were preserved until now.
Could it be because of the surrounding poisonous gas?
Wu Chen suddenly thought of a possibility. The poisonous gas here was extremely dense. The poisonous gas had a suppressing and killing effect on bacteria, all kinds of fish and other creatures. Only a very small number of special Living Body could survive in this poisonous environment.
From this point of view, it was reasonable.
"Has he been dead for over a hundred years?"
Yu Jiaorong frowned. In that case, these people... They were all her seniors. They were connected to more than a hundred years ago. The patriarch of Mermaid Clan had given the order to list this area as a forbidden area. The death of these people might be related to that incident.
However, she had a bigger question in her mind. Why did these people die here? Was this a large graveyard of the Mermaid Clan? Also, what had happened here?
A series of questions surfaced in his mind, causing him to be incomparably confused.
"Let's go in and take a look. Perhaps we can find something."
Just looking from the outside, he probably wouldn't be able to see anything. Therefore, after thinking for a while, Wu Chen decided to go in and take a look. Perhaps he could find something.
"Alright."
Yu Jiaorong nodded her head. She had no objections. This was the restricted area of the Mermaid Clan, and there were so many members of the Mermaid Clan sleeping here. There must be some kind of secret.
The two of them followed the corpses and entered carefully. The more they entered, the more shocked they became. There were thousands of corpses here, and most of them belonged to the Mermaid Clan.
"What exactly happened here?"
Yu Jiaorong couldn't help but ask the question in her heart. The Mermaid Clan had always been lacking in numbers. It was very difficult for the race to reproduce, and the total population was only a million or so. However, there were so many corpses here. If this were to happen now, it would definitely be a huge loss.
"Yu Jiaorong, what exactly did your Mermaid Clan experience over a hundred years ago?"
Wu Chen couldn't help but sigh. Now, even an idiot could see it. A hundred years ago, something must have happened in the Mermaid Clan. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many corpses here. Furthermore, it wouldn't be classified as a forbidden area, and no one from the Mermaid Clan would be allowed to enter this place.
"Let me think about it."
Actually, Yu Jiaorong also wanted to find out the ins and outs of the matter. However, she racked her brain and recalled all the books that she had read in her mind. She did not discover any secrets and only discovered some unusual things.
"Wu Chen, to be honest, I just recalled and found that there were no relevant records in the ancient books."
"No records?"
Wu Chen was even more puzzled. Yu Jiaorong was the Holy Maiden of Mermaid Clan. Her status in Mermaid Clan was high. She wanted to borrow these ancient books. There shouldn't be any problem, but she didn't know anything. This was really strange.
"What about other things? For example, a little bit forward, or some years later?"
From these close records, perhaps some clues could be found.
"This?"
Yu Jiaorong fell into deep thought again. After thinking for a while, she said, "My clan's ancient records recorded some things from a hundred and ten years ago. They were all visible. What happened after 95 years? There were also some records, only about 15 years of history in the middle. It's like a blank space, nothing has been recorded. "
"How could it be like this?"
Wu Chen was shocked. He had never encountered such a situation before. Was it true that there were no records, or was it that the records were deleted later on? He really didn't understand.
