Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 189 The Foul Smell

Filled with confusion, Su Yue quickly withdrew her mental energy from the first room.

After catching her breath, she took a deep breath and entered the second stone door.

Upon entering, she found that the layout was exactly the same as the previous room, with an enormous pool as well.

The pool was also filled with countless corpses.

However, upon closer inspection, Su Yue was surprised to find that the number of corpses here was less than that at the first stone gate.

After searching around, I couldn't find the exit I was looking for.

So she slowly withdrew her outward-radiating spiritual energy and continued to explore the next stone door.

When the spiritual energy penetrated through the next stone gate, what came into view was still a huge pool.

However, this time the number of corpses in the pool was slightly less than the previous one.

And so, Su Yue continued to probe with her spiritual power, and the situation she saw at each new stone gate was roughly the same.

The pool still exists, but the number of corpses in it is decreasing.

Finally, when her spiritual power reached the last stone door, Su Yue saw that there was also a pool inside.

Unlike before, the pool was significantly smaller, with only twenty or thirty corpses lying haphazardly inside.

These corpses appeared to be different from those in the previous stone gates.

Su Yue couldn't tell exactly what was different.

Just then, Su Yue keenly noticed that there was another stone door hidden inside this stone door, with the other door facing upwards.

The spiritual energy continued to rise along the passage, and after traveling about one or two hundred meters, there was no way forward. There was a stone door there.

When her spiritual power penetrated the last stone gate, Su Yue was delighted to find that outside the gate was another desert with sandstorms raging and stones flying everywhere.

Finally found it! Su Yue cheered excitedly in her heart and quickly withdrew her outward mental energy.

Overwhelmed with emotion, she didn't even glance at the corpse in the pool again.

"Great! Dali! I've found the exit!" Su Yue couldn't contain her joy and whispered in Dali's ear.

Dali was equally overjoyed, nodding vigorously. This time, she was determined to stay close to Su Yue and not get separated from her.

Just as the two stood up and were about to step into the Corpse Refining Hall, they suddenly heard footsteps approaching from afar.

Peeking out, I saw a group of people slowly walking towards me from another road not far away.

This team was the law enforcement team. They marched in unison, each with a long iron chain trailing behind them, and at the other end of the chain were corpses.

As these people drew closer, Su Yue took a closer look and couldn't help but gasp.

It turned out that the corpses being dragged by chains were all people who had been defeated and died in the arena just now.

What shocked her even more was that among the corpses, she immediately spotted the familiar figure, Old Kui.

Old Kui had long since lost his life, his body scraping against the ground as the iron chain dragged him along.

Not only that, but the body of the person who was responsible for banging the gong was also among them.

The enforcement team members, expressionless, roughly dragged the cold corpses one by one, heading straight into the Corpse Refining Hall.

They pushed open the gate and entered through the first stone door.

Meanwhile, Su Yue's powerful mental energy closely followed the law enforcement team, observing their every move.

At that moment, she finally understood where the strong, nauseating stench came from.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the bloodstains were actually from the corpses that had been dragged in and rubbed against the ground.

The enforcement team threw the bodies one by one into the huge pool, then watched helplessly as they slowly sank into the depths of the water until they disappeared from sight.

After doing all this, they put away the heavy iron chains and turned to leave the stone gate.

Inside just the first stone gate, there were already a large number of corpses piled up, roughly estimated to be at least a thousand!

Moreover, Su Yue's spiritual power detected that there were a total of twelve such stone gates here.

If we don't count the corpse in the last stone gate, then the number of corpses here has already exceeded tens of thousands.

Su Yue couldn't help but wonder how long this place had existed in her mind.

The number of people who died here is countless!

What exactly is this Black Illusion City like?

And who built it?

What was the purpose of building it?

A series of questions flooded her mind, giving Su Yue a headache. She was new to this place and couldn't figure it out at all.

Since I can't figure it out, I might as well stop worrying about it.

The most important thing right now is to leave here as soon as possible.

Su Yue and Dali hid in a corner, patiently waiting for the law enforcement team to completely leave.

After a while, once they were sure there was no more movement around them, the two of them carefully emerged from their hiding place.

The two pushed open the heavy door of the Corpse Refining Hall, and with a creak, a stench hit them.

Su Yue, pulling Dali along, ran towards the last stone gate without hesitation.

When Su Yue pushed open the stone door, she was greeted by a deep, dark tunnel.

An even stronger, more pungent, fishy stench suddenly wafted over, and even wearing a mask couldn't block out this nauseating smell.

The smell was so strong that the two of them felt their stomachs churning as soon as they smelled it, and they almost vomited on the spot.

However, they endured their discomfort and continued walking deeper into the tunnel.

With each step forward, the stench grew stronger, as if it were the stench emanating from countless rotting corpses piled together.

Even though they pinched their noses tightly, the smell still managed to seep into their nasal cavities and stimulate their olfactory nerves.

This tunnel is exactly the same as what I found using my mental powers before.

The two quickened their pace silently, the ground beneath their feet was damp, and they didn't know if it was from blood.

After walking for about ten minutes, we finally arrived at the location of the pool.

Su Yue took out an oil lamp from her spatial storage. The weak flame flickered in the darkness, and the dim yellow light was even more frightening in the eerie atmosphere.

Just then, Su Yue suddenly realized something, but before she could say anything to remind Dali beside her not to look into the dark pool.

However, it was too late.

Dali turned his head slightly, his gaze involuntarily falling on the surface of the pool.

Instantly, her face turned deathly pale, and her body began to tremble violently.

It turned out that there were corpses floating in the dark pool!

The corpses swayed gently with the ripples, emitting a nauseating, fishy stench.
