As Mao Qi walked, the surrounding air and scenery seemed to ripple, causing waves. Shen Liu’an exchanged glances with his two sons.
“Father, there’s a barrier here,” said Shen Yuyan, leading the way. “1’11 go first. Brother, you and Father follow behind me.”
“There’s no need to be so nervous. There’s no danger here yet,” Mao Qi said as he walked forward.
The three of them quickly followed.
The four of them circled around the dense thorns in front of them. The seemingly blocked path would open up as soon as Mao Qi turned around. There was a huge maze barrier here that ordinary people couldn’t easily step into.
After a series of twists and turns, the four of them walked past the brambles and arrived at a cave.
Mao Qi stopped in his tracks.
Turning around to look at Shen Liu’an, Mao Qi took out four disgusting black balls from his sleeve. “There’s miasma in this cave. Take the antidote and remember not to get injured after entering. Otherwise, if the miasma enters your body through your wounds, something bad will happen.”
Seeing Mao Qi swallow one of the pills, Shen Liu’an, Shen Yuyan, and Shen Yifeng followed suit.
The bitter taste made the faces of the father and sons contort.
Mao Qi smirked and led the way into the cave.
Not long after they entered the cave, the smell of burnt blood assaulted their faces, making the father and sons feel a little nauseous.
“Let’s hide here and watch.” Mao Qi brought the three of them to a corner and hid there, looking into the cave.
There was a fire inside the cave. The high temperature made the rancid smell of blood in the air even more pungent.
Shen Liu’an, Shen Yifeng, and Shen Yuyan looked into the depths of the cave together and saw a scene that they would never forget.
The space in the cave was larger, and there were a few large pots placed inside. The charcoal fire below was burning continuously, and there were a few large pots of white wax boiling in the pots. There was also a pond around the pots. The stones around the pond were covered in a layer of black blood, and the pond was filled with sticky blood.
A person covered in white was standing by the pond. He was holding a wooden stick and stirring the blood inside with a wooden expression.
There were also a few other strange-looking people who were also busy in the depths of the cave.
Shen Liu’an and the others couldn’t help but look at the fair-skinned people. When they took a closer look, they couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat.
How could that white figure be a real living person? It was clearly a wax figure made of pewter.
They were completely naked, and the surface of their bodies was covered in a thick layer of wax. The facial features on their faces looked a little stiff and rigid, and their expressions were very dull.
Waves of fire assaulted their faces, and the wax figures were baked until they were sweating profusely. Their sweat was also white wax liquid that fused into the large pot and fused with the other wax liquid.
It was also because the fire was so hot that the wax man’s face gradually melted. Then, with a plop, one of its eyes fell out of its eye socket and into the big pot.
The wax figure hurriedly reached out to scoop it up, but its arm melted along with it, revealing the bones made of wood inside.
The wax men at the side seemed to be used to this scene. One of the wax men casually picked up a wooden skeleton by the side and threw it into the pot to stir. A distorted humanoid waxman appeared.
Then, the wax man sitting in front of the blood pool pulled his new companion to his side. He opened his new companion’s mouth to a strange extent and poured a large basin of stinky blood into it.
“Ugh…” Shen Yifeng couldn’t help but feel a little nauseous. He watched as the new wax man, who had absorbed the blood, developed new facial features and then joined the team to make new companions.
“Most of the people you see in the village are made this way. Now that you know the secret, come with me.” Mao Qi took a step back and accidentally broke a tree branch on the ground.
With a crisp crack, it attracted the attention of all the wax figures!
