Chapter 5 Mysterious Corpse
It's already afternoon.
Arka lay on the beach, resting in the shadow of the cliff.
There was also a short shovel stuck in the sand next to him.
There are all kinds of potholes around.
These holes are not dug randomly, but are explored based on the surrounding reference objects that do not change.
While resting, Alka once again flipped through the treasure hunting manual in his hand.
All of it is about various information and inferences about the "magic treasure".
Looking at these inferences, from a modern perspective he had to admit that he did have some talent.
If it hadn't died from the curse of extraordinary power, this body might have become a true treasure hunter.
Alka couldn't help but study it carefully.
"All this information and inferences indicate that Jack intentionally left clues to his treasure when he died."
Could it be the one I just saw?
Thinking of this, Alka stood up immediately.
He took a few steps back and looked up at the cliff carefully.
Sure enough, a cave entrance was seen under a thick tree that was growing obliquely out of the cliff.
"Will it be there?"
Never mind. It will be dusk soon if we delay any longer. Let’s go up and take a look first.
If it doesn't work, you can redraw a detailed map.
Alka immediately went to the tool bag next to him and took out a thick, long hemp rope with a grappling hook next to it.
I didn’t find anything in this treasure, but the equipment looked pretty decent.
Do poor students have more stationery?
Holding one end of the grappling hook, he looked at the bent tree that was about ten meters high.
He swung one end of the grappling hook and threw it hard towards the big tree.
Very smooth.
Although it was his first time to do it, Alka felt it was very smooth.
The remaining memories and physical sensations seem to indicate that he has practiced a lot for this.
Although it felt smooth, it undoubtedly flew off course.
It is at least two or three meters away from the big tree.
Cough cough.
It’s the first time, so it’s normal to miss the target.
Walk over, pick up the grappling hook and swing it again.
After several attempts, I finally tied it to the tree.
I have to say that the physical strength of the alien world is great.
If a body were to try it, it would definitely not work.
Not to mention that this body is a 16-year-old boy.
Alka wrapped the rope around the tree trunk twice and pulled it down hard twice.
Very stable.
He walked over, put on the tool bag, put the remaining short piece of rope around his waist, and tied a safety knot with the sling next to it.
When working at heights, safety facilities must be in place.
Take a deep breath, hold the rope with both hands, step on the cliff, and start climbing up slowly.
After a while, Alka crawled out of the cave.
Looking inside through the sunlight.
Although it was dark inside, I could feel that it was not very deep.
There was an unknown dull smell in the air, which I had felt when I was digging holes as a child.
Sit at the edge of the cave, untie the knot around your waist, and press the rope with a piece of gravel next to you.
Alka was at the entrance of the cave and took out the torch from his backpack.
Take out the flint and light the torch.
With the lighting of the torches, the darkness in the cave was instantly swept away.
I stood up and walked inside. The entrance of the cave was about two meters wide and a bit narrow, but it became more and more spacious inside.
After walking a few steps inside, I could vaguely see the bottom of the cave.
“Wow!”
The torch that was originally held vertically shook.
Alka was so frightened that he couldn't help but take a step back.
A corpse appeared in the area illuminated by the torch.
Neither the original self nor the former self had ever seen such a scene.
Take a deep breath and calm yourself.
He mustered up the courage to approach the corpse and check how the man died.
The corpse's clothes were rotten and torn, and the whole body was in a prone position.
The entire skeleton had a very obvious fracture at about the sixth lumbar vertebra on the back, which extended directly toward his ribs.
There were indeed scars there as well, but they were much smaller than those on the lumbar spine.
Being attacked from behind and killed in one blow?
It was good that it was killed by a human, and Alka's mood calmed down.
He was afraid that he would die because of this cave.
But it makes sense when you think about it. After all, the difficulty level is only for adults and there are no special requirements.
After all, I was scaring myself.
The most urgent task is to return the silver coins first.
After fumbling for a few times, he immediately took out the silver coin from his trouser pocket.
Click, click!
"Fuck!"
Alka finally couldn't help swearing, and the torch in his hand almost fell to the ground in fright, and he quickly took a few steps back.
The sudden fright made his heart almost jump out of his throat, and his whole body felt as cold as if he had entered an ice storage.
"Calm down! Calm down! Is this adult difficulty?"
"Are the adults in this world so powerful?"
The corpse that had fallen to the ground stood up.
He hurriedly passed the torch to his left hand, squatted down, and took the machete from the cloth bag.
After thinking it was not right, he immediately replaced the machete with a short shovel.
The length of the shovel is much longer.
Alka had completely retreated to the edge of the cave, and once the skeleton rushed over, he immediately slid down the rope.
However, after the corpse stood up, it did not move at all, but just stared at him with its empty eyes.
Gulp !
Swallowed.
The sound of Alka's heavy breathing echoed throughout the cave.
The corpse's right arm slowly raised.
“Haaaaaah!”
Alka shouted, his body shook, and he raised the shovel in front of him to encourage himself.
The corpse opened its five fingers, and then stopped moving.
Suddenly, as if it had lost all its energy, the corpse collapsed and all the bones fell apart and piled up into a pile.
The original silver coins also flew over.
Instantly, Alka felt something was wrong with his body, and he felt more comfortable and relaxed.
This was something he had never felt since he traveled through time.
I feel like my whole body is healthier.
The "curse" disappeared?
Alka thought of something and couldn't help but pick up the torch and start walking forward again.
He came to a place not far from the pile of bones, picked up a shovel and poked it twice. After making sure that it was just bones, he bravely walked over to the side.
There was still no movement from the pile of bones.
Alka was still worried, so he picked up a shovel and completely swept away the entire pile of bones.
After making sure there was no movement, he finally felt relieved.
I couldn't help but squat down and carefully examine the corpse.
That was definitely a supernatural power.
So this world definitely has extraordinary abilities.
It's not just a curse that can curse yourself to death.
Just now, the extraordinary power really appeared in front of him and it was visible.
Thinking of this, Alka couldn't help but get excited.
This is an extraordinary power!
At this time, I saw the left hand of the corpse in front of me, with a ring on the ring finger.
"I'm sorry, don't take it as an offense. I will definitely bury you properly later."
Alka muttered as he squatted down and took the ring off the skeleton's finger.
The ring has turned a little black and yellow, and is obviously made of silver.
The ring is about one centimeter wide. After blowing off the dust on it, it looks somewhat familiar.
I took a torch and took a closer look.
There is tiny text engraved on the inner ring.
"To my beloved Lisha Monk - Sivers Lagu."
Memories flooded out of my brain like crazy.
These are the names of my father and mother.
Then this corpse...
