Chapter 229 The Secret of Shishou Village 1
"It's not certain yet, but it's definitely a direction worth investigating."
"I understand." Fang Duobing slapped his forehead.
"Fang Xiaobao, just say what you know. Don't overreact and make yourself look silly."
Li Lianhua picked at her ears; the echo in the passage was quite strong.
"Don't interrupt. Do you guys remember those skeleton shadows we saw on the Eight Desolate Primordial Lake?"
"You mean those strange rock reflections that startled you?"
"I saw it too, and it startled me at the time," Lu Jianchi recalled.
“Yes, but Wu You, you don’t need to emphasize this. We always thought it was just a rock that looked like a skull, but I suddenly realized something.”
Fang Duobing rolled his eyes at Wu You and continued speaking.
"They're going to use monsters to attack us, but these monsters clearly can't distinguish between humans and humans. How are they ensuring they don't get accidentally hurt?"
"That goes without saying, of course they've hidden themselves."
"And if you're going to hide, hide in places these monsters are afraid of."
"Your brain has become smarter, Fang Xiaobao."
"It seems it was no coincidence that those stones were not some strange rocks that are natural wonders, but rather human heads wrapped in mud, piled up on the cliff to drive away monsters."
"Yes, that's right, they must be hiding nearby. We should go straight to the foot of Skull Mountain; we're sure to find them there."
After Fang Duobing finished speaking, he was full of enthusiasm and wanted to rush out immediately to find all the people in Shishou Village.
"Fang Xiaobao, don't be in such a hurry. Since they've been here for ten years, they won't be leaving anytime soon."
"Li Lianhua, when did you become so indecisive? Many things are better done sooner rather than later, because delays can lead to problems. Haven't you heard that?"
Fang Duobing couldn't understand where Li Lianhua's composure came from; how could she remain so calm at such a critical moment?
"Since these monsters are so afraid of these jars hanging above, the people of Shishou Village probably wouldn't dare to touch them either. Since we've come all this way, we should bring them some as a gift."
Li Lianhua pointed to the jars hanging in the passageway, drawing everyone's attention.

Inside a secluded cave, the cave is strangely decorated, with human heads hanging everywhere.
On the empty ground of the cave, dozens of people, both men and women, were kneeling in neat rows, their expressions solemn, clearly performing a mysterious ritual.
At the front of the crowd, kneeling at the very front was an elderly woman, who, judging from her position, was clearly the leader of the group.
Strangely, in front of them, where they were kneeling, was a painting, or more accurately, a strange totem.
In front of the totem, instead of the fruits, incense burners, and candles commonly used in family sacrifices, there was a small mountain of countless skulls piled together.
This scene was truly terrifying and eerie.
Before long, the people in the cave finished their worship and slowly got up from the ground.
The leader turned around, revealing his face; he was none other than the elder who had led Li Lianhua and the others into the courtyard earlier.
"Elder, Elder."
Just then, a person dressed in the same manner quickly ran in from outside.
He first bowed to Elder Shi before speaking.
"Tonight, the messengers of the God of Heads failed; they didn't capture a single one."
The newcomer explained the situation in a few words, but it caused some panic among the others, as this was the first time such a situation had occurred in so many years.
