C239 Especially for the Sick

However, such a large meteorite should have fallen here for a very long time. Otherwise, it would have long been discovered by modern satellites and astronomical telescopes.

The middle-aged man walked up to the rock and examined it for a moment before pointing to the right.

Seeing that he had made a move, Jiang Chen did not delay any further. He continued to lead the way and walked towards the right side of the rock.

After walking along the rock for less than a hundred meters, a road appeared on the ground, which was built along the edge of the rock.

It was made of smooth, flat pebbles, each about the size of a basketball, half buried in the earth and half on the outside.

He didn't know how long this road had been built for, but it hadn't changed much in the face of wind and rain.

Jiang Chen tried touching the cobblestone. Nothing out of the ordinary happened.

He stepped forward and a cold feeling came from the bottom of his feet.

This kind of coldness was different from the cold on the ground during winter. It was a type of feeling that would cause a chill the moment it was touched.

He immediately retracted his foot and followed the stone path to take a detour to the side.

After walking around the cobblestone path for a while, the giant boulder came to an end.

Jiang Chen walked from one side of the rock to the other side. A depression immediately appeared in front of his eyes as he tightly leaned against the rock.

As for the kang and the like, they were all human skeletons that had been decayed and turned into dried bones.

Each and every one of them was incomparably pale, exuding the desolation of a life that had just passed away.

This deep pit was about ten meters wide, and it stretched all the way to the two sides. One could not see the end of the pit, and it was impossible to know how long it actually was.

Standing in front of this corpse pit, no one would be able to calm their heart.

A feeling of both fear and sadness engulfed everyone's heart.

A thin layer of mist floated around inside the pit, causing the pale bones to look even more mysterious and eerie.

"What should we do? Do you want to go through it, or do you want to find another way? "

Jiang Chen turned his head to look at the middle-aged man. Since he did not make a decision, then the dominant power was in his hands.

The middle-aged man was also thinking about this problem in his heart. He would waste a lot of time trying to find a way out. After all, he couldn't see the end of the pit on both sides.

However, if they directly passed through the bottom of the bone pit, they wouldn't even be able to escape if there was any danger.

The choice was in front of him, to ensure that they were safe and wasted some of their time; or to ensure that their time was as short as possible and that everyone was in danger.

Usually, one would have to give up some of their choices to be able to acquire some.

However, the part that was abandoned the most was also the part that made people unable to make a decision.

The middle-aged man thought for a moment before waving his hand towards the sky.

A multicolored, palm-sized bird landed in his hand.

The middle-aged man caressed the bird's head, took out a few cicada grass from his pocket and gave it to it.

The bird swallowed the fruit and happily pecked the middle-aged man's finger.

"Help me go down and test if there's any poison in this fog!"

The middle-aged man pointed at the corpse pit in front of him. The bird flapped its wings as if it understood the meaning of the voice and flew into the hole.

When Jiang Chen saw this scene, he seemed to understand it all.

No wonder this middle-aged man could easily discover them when they were in the wooden house. They had raised such an extraordinary bird.

This spiritualized animal must have been raised from a young age to develop feelings with it. Moreover, the animal must have a certain intelligence of its own, otherwise, no matter how good its relationship with it was, it would not be able to communicate with it, much less make it do things that humans could not do.

However, the formation of these spiritual objects was generally difficult. It was either due to some strange change that gave birth to their intelligence, or through some unusual means, it gave birth to their intelligence.

In short, it was not easy to make common animals gain intelligence and communicate with others.

As for the bird of the middle-aged man, it seemed to be very powerful. The middle-aged man used it to test if there was poison in the pit of the bones, it was obvious that the bird itself was not afraid of poison.

The colorful bird flew around the pit for a while before returning to the middle-aged man's side. It landed on his palm, chirped a few times, and pecked at his palm.

"You can go now. There's no danger down there!"

The middle-aged man said confidently.

Jiang Chen glanced at him and thought in his heart. That colorful bird can only confirm that there is no poison, but it doesn't know if there are other things.

After all, it would be difficult to return this time. With so many people sticking to it, it would mean certain death!

However, since the middle-aged man had already said so, he could only use the branches to probe around while he fumbled around in the bone pit.

The slope on both sides of the Bone Crater wasn't very high, and most of the dried bones were at the bottom. Thus, during the first section of the journey, they didn't come in contact with the dried bones.

However, after walking a dozen meters to the bottom of the pit, he found himself surrounded by dried up bones. With every step he took, one could hear the sound of bones breaking.

Hearing the creaking sound, everyone felt goosebumps all over their bodies.

Jiang Chen glanced behind him. He only walked about two meters into the pit, but because of the mist at the bottom, the two sides of the pit were already blurry.

"Everyone, be careful. Follow my footsteps."

Jiang Chen reminded them that no one could be trusted in this place. He didn't even believe that with every step he took, the next person would be in danger.

In this place where danger was everywhere, the situation changed constantly. Danger could appear at any time. Only when one's mind was taut, could they walk out safely, step by step.

Fortunately, Wang Han was behind him, and Fu Shidong didn't have to worry too much. Otherwise, if Jiang Chen was distracted, he might be swallowed by the sudden danger.

These people had been dead for who knows how many years, and not a single bit of flesh was left on the bones. However, due to Jiang Chen's respect for the dead, he still chose to avoid stepping on these bones.

However, he didn't know how many of these bones were left in the ground, so even though he was careful, he still couldn't help but hear creaking noises that made his scalp tingle.

"Wait, did you hear anything?"

One of the middle-aged man who was walking in the middle of the group suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Everyone tensed up and focused on listening to what was happening around them.

At first, it was nothing much, but very soon, a low-frequency creaking sound could be heard, as if someone was stepping on a dried up bone, and the sound of bones breaking was heard.

However, no one moved. How could there be such a sound?

While everyone was still in doubt, someone cried out in surprise and suddenly fell into a pile of bones.

Everyone looked towards the source of the voice and saw a hand grabbing Bai Sen's neck, dragging him into the pile of dried up bones.

The people nearby hurriedly pulled him back, but soon, they all felt bone-chilling hands tugging at different parts of their bodies. They either dragged them to the ground or to the pile of bones.1
