Chapter 347: A Tang Dynasty Tomb with Ming Dynasty Accompaniments? What on Earth is This? (2)

Luo Feng continued scanning.
After scanning, he looked at the familiar treasure markers but his expression remained unchanged.
Although it was a bit strange, he decided to keep digging….
Throughout the morning, he uncovered several mass burial sites.
All of the sites contained Ming Dynasty copper coins and broken silver pieces.
By evening, Luo Feng had unearthed seven mass burial sites…
“Isn’t this extremely bizarre?” he muttered.
The third day passed, and then another – the fourth day…
Originally, Luo Feng thought he would be able to leave Mount Taibai within a week, but the strange mass burial sites had significantly delayed his plans.
On the fifth day of exploring the eerie location…
Luo Feng dug up another skeleton.
The system notification still showed it as a corpse.
Luo Feng believed he had strong mental fortitude, but even he could not withstand such torment.
This was the 35th mass burial site…
With over 400 corpses found thus far.
The number was already approaching the sum of the population of several villages.
What on earth was going on?
“No one has ever impressed me when it comes to grave digging, but the host is the first!” a viewer commented.
“Hahaha, keep going, continue digging!”
“The number of corpses dug up by the host could circle the Earth!”
“I love seeing the host being both in a hurry and exasperated! Hahaha, dig faster!”
“Dig, dig, dig!” Luo Feng exhaled a frustrated breath and continued digging…
Another five days passed.
The mass burial sites in the area seemed endless.
There was never a moment of respite.
During his lunch break, Luo Feng sat under a tree and began to ponder.
One could ignore one mass burial site, even three.
But he was approaching close to seventy sites at this point.
If he continued digging like this, he would not ever have a chance to circle the Earth, and would be stuck forever in Mount Taibai.
Even though he had not made much progress over the last few days, both the broken silver pieces and copper coins could be understood as burial accessories, suggesting these were indeed mass burial sites.
After all, those killed for their wealth or those who died in battle would not have left their money behind.
“Host, just change your name already, you’re not a treasure hunter anymore!”
“Hahaha, more like ‘Corpse Digger’!”
“If it were me, I would have left this place filled with corpses a long time ago!” “The host must want to figure out what’s going on!”
Indeed, at first, Luo Feng did not bother to understand and had pushed the issue to the recesses of his mind.
However, as the number of corpses increased, curiosity got the better of him.
An ordinary person would have been driven to the brink of madness after more than ten days of encountering corpses non-stop.
“Start the scan!” Luo Feng commanded.
After scanning again, his eyes instantly lit up.
There were fewer clusters of dense treasure markers now, only seeing two.
Previously, a casual scan would reveal seven or eight treasure locations.
So, does this mean…
That I’m about to be done with this area!?
It must be.
At the beginning, there were many.
Now, there were only two spots left.
And among these two treasure spots, one had many markers – a hundred or more.
Such a quantity was still quite unusual.
“Another corpse?” [ Corpse! Valued at 3,000 yuan! Ming Dynasty! ] “Still just a corpse.”
Damn it, he had thought it was an ancient tomb.
However, it seemed like it was still a mass burial site.
After digging for a few hours, all he found were corpses, copper coins, and broken silver pieces.
“Host, this mass burial site is really huge; I’ve never seen anything like it!” “It’s a ghostly mass burial site — more like a chaotic graveyard, right?”
“Host, I’m begging you, please stop digging. I’ve seen so many corpses these past few days that I want to vomit. This place is not right; it’s easy to become cursed! ”
Indeed.
Luo Feng felt uneasy too. After all, digging up a mass burial site with ten or so people was one thing, but unearthing one with over a hundred corpses sent chills down his spine.
As night fell, Luo Feng pondered whether he should continue digging or not.
Should he keep going? Would he be trapped in an endless loop?
He covered the excavated soil back up.
Luo Feng decided not to disturb these corpses any further.
“For today, let’s leave it at that. I’ll see you all tomorrow morning!”
Luo Feng did not say much more. After ending the livestream, he went to the campsite to have dinner with everyone.
This place was no longer a mass burial site; it was a pit filled with corpses.
If they had the money for burial accessories, why could they not afford better coffins?
It was truly puzzling.
If it was an ancient village, there should have been trees around the village, right? They could have easily chopped some down and made their own coffins.
Luo Feng’s mind was a mess, and he was utterly baffled.
The next morning, Luo Feng returned to the mass burial site with over a hundred corpses. He looked at the filled-in excavations from the day before and noticed that no one had come to dig.
This meant that those who wanted to follow Luo Feng and strike it rich also despised these items, and had considered them worthless.
Of course, Luo Feng had left the broken silver pieces and copper coins to the people in his village to pick up later.
As for the corpses, valued at only around 1,000 yuan each, it was not worth the trouble to transport them around.
Certainly, no one would be willing to take them.
Moreover, tampering with the dead was considered bad luck.
The key point, however, was that there was too little money to be made. If the corpses were worth hundreds of thousands each, people would flock to steal them regardless of whether it was considered bad luck or not.
With such a bad reputation and so little profit, there would not be many people willing to do it.
After walking a few kilometers and scanning again, Luo Feng noticed there were no familiar treasure spots anymore.
Does this mean that I’ve escaped the strange loop of mass burial sites?
“How strange, the host hasn’t dug up any corpses today?” a viewer asked. “Yeah, did he find a medicinal herb instead? He’s even carrying it around himself!”
“The host might have gone crazy from all the corpses; now that he has found a medicinal herb, he treasures it like a precious item!”
Luo Feng laughed and said, “You guys don’t understand; of course, this is for the health spa I’m setting up for my dear Meiji!”
