It had just rained, and the wooden cross was soaked in water, making its color darker than when it was dry.

This scene was unexpected. The Nightmare's eyes flashed with a dim light, then shook his head. "This is not an illusion. The graves are real."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xing took a few steps forward. As soon as he stepped on the ground, he couldn't help but frown and almost fell to his knees.

Because he could feel that each raised mound of soil was emitting a cursed aura towards him.

The cursed object that could instantly stir up the cold ghostly aura within him, just like the mysterious black coffin in the coffin village.

In an instant, his face became paler, and his chest felt tight. Obviously, he couldn't stay in this place for long, otherwise, it wouldn't end well.

Whatever they needed to investigate, they had to do it quickly.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "p𝑎wread.com".

Relying on his long legs, Yu Xing stepped on the nearest grave mound and reached out to touch the cross.

The wood was rough and uncarved, just two rectangular wooden pieces of different lengths crudely nailed together with iron nails, and then inserted into the ground.

The wood was full of splinters, and if someone accidentally touched the cross, they would probably get splinters in their skin.

At the intersection of the cross, there was a very familiar noose. Yu Xing immediately recognized it as the noose that had hung from the tree before, attracting people to hang themselves.

The difference was that the noose on the cross was stained with blood.

"How could there be man-made objects here?" Carlos also investigated this empty ground, and the most difficult thing to understand was the presence of human traces.

You see, whether it was the coast, caves, ravines, or big trees, they were all natural formations, and the attack methods were either pure illusions or using the things of the islanders themselves, such as reflections, to kill people.

So at first, they all thought that this Undead Island had never been visited by anyone.

Nightmare stood on a grave mound, carefully holding the blood-stained noose in her hand and looked at it. The blood had deeply soaked into the rope, and she could still smell a strong stench when she got closer.

Due to being wet by the rain, the blood on the rope was actually flowing slowly. This was obviously abnormal because if blood was on the surface, the rain would wash it away, not make it flow on the rope.

She asked, "Is this the first time we've found man-made traces on the island? Could there be someone living in the center of the island?"

"No, it's not the first time." Yu Xing leaned on the cross, feeling a little weak. He took a shallow breath and said, "Strictly speaking, the bodies hanging from the trees are also man-made. The magician said that they didn't die from hanging, but rather from strangulation."

"Yes, if it's strangulation, it is indeed an act that only humans would do." Carlos stopped walking and vaguely felt that Yu Xing was not in the right state, but he didn't ask directly. Instead, he continued on this topic, "So there were indeed people on the island, at least there used to be."

Nightmare let go of the rope, remaining cautious of the blood on it, making sure not to touch a drop. "Actually, even if there were people on the island before, they are probably gone now. Because this island cannot sustain itself, the food supply is insufficient. Moreover, if there were people, they wouldn't allow us to come to the island and conduct research."

"What you said makes sense." Yu Xing said lightly, "So it doesn't matter who used to be on the island. What matters now is these grave mounds that are closely related to us."

Carlos looked at him and asked, "I know you know a lot, so tell us."

Suppressing the waves of pain in his body, Yu Xing's forehead started to sweat. "Let's leave this place first before I explain."

Nightmare asked, "Are you okay?"

"I have something." Yu Xing didn't hide it either. The other two could see it with their own eyes, so there was no need to lie. He lifted his leg and walked towards the center of the island.

This piece of land was not big, and they could see the end at a glance. No matter what they had to say, they would wait until he stepped out of this range and stabilized his body.

Carlos remembered that Yu Xing was like this in the coffin village. He inexplicably became worse outside the ancestral hall, and in the end, he almost fainted. No, it felt like he was dying. It was Xiao Xuechen who killed him with a dagger, and he only recovered after being resurrected.

Could it be the negative effect of being a resurrection sacrifice?

With this thought, Carlos became more certain of the incredible sacrificial ability. It made sense to have negative effects!

He gave Nightmare a look, and they followed Yu Xing's footsteps until they left the cemetery. Yu Xing then felt the invisible curse around him disappear.

"Phew."

Yu Xing's muscles hidden in his clothes felt sore. He took a moment to rest and looked back. "There are bodies buried in these grave mounds."

"Grave mounds should have bodies buried in them," Nightmare said with a smirk.

Yu Xing: So love can disappear, right? You said you liked me, but you don't even pretend anymore, do you?

As he sat down to rest, he said, "What I mean is that there are bodies in the grave mounds, wooden crosses on the graves, and blood-stained nooses on the crosses. Don't you think there are similarities?"

After he said this, Carlos and Nightmare recalled.

Then Carlos exclaimed, "Over there by the big tree, there are bodies, wood, and blood?"

"That's right. Trees grow in the soil, and crosses are inserted into the soil mounds. This is wood born from the earth, constantly regenerating." Yu Xing squinted his eyes, his voice becoming calm, carrying a convincing power."Blood, strictly speaking, belongs to the element of water. Wood thrives when it meets water, but blood is a major evil force, reversing the entire cycle of life into a vicious one. What would happen to a body buried or hung in such an environment?"

"Although I don't understand Feng Shui," Nightmare hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to say something but swallowed it back, "but I guess the body would mutate?"

"Not only mutation, the person who arranged this is raising the corpse. Eventually, the body will turn into a full-fledged evil object, which can be used for manipulation or sacrifice. It's quite a scheme." Yu Xing raised his eyes and calmly looked in the direction of the graveyard, "Of course, this operation is not enough. Even a hundred years of nurturing won't make it. I think the follow-up didn't keep up. It's likely that the people here encountered something and left directly. These arrangements were abandoned and merged with the illusion ability of the Undead Island."

"No wonder you claim to know a lot, you even know about this kind of thing." Carlos shook his head in admiration. However, due to the image of Doctor A Bai lacking a certain air of arrogance, this gesture failed to express the sarcasm Carlos intended.

"You look pretty tired too. Let's not move anymore and just wait for the ghoul here. We can explore the plot in the next three days." Nightmare suggested.

Yu Xing and Carlos had no objections. So, for the next while, they sat in place to rest and continuously reported their location to the four groups rushing here through the walkie-talkie.
