She Shocks The Whole World After Retirement Chapter 274 - The Woman with the Carved Doll

Chapter 274: The Woman with the Carved Doll

Yu Huang and the others landed beside a fruit tree. On the fruit tree, there was a type of transparent black fruit. It looked clear, sweet, and delicious.

Many Beast Tamers plucked fruits and ate them. Yu Huang also picked one. Her poison test needle tested the fruit flesh and confirmed that it was not poisonous.

Even so, Yu Huang still didn’t eat any fruit.

In the sky, there was something that was exuding a white l.u.s.ter. Yu Huang reached out her hand to catch it. She could feel the pure and rich spiritual energy in its body.

She said, “It’s a spiritual body.”

Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang looked up together and saw a white ancient tree on the top of the highest mountain in the mystic realm.

That was the Spirit Gathering Tree.

The ancient tree’s roots spread out from the mountain peak in a radioactive manner. They did not take root in the soil, but clung to the soil. They extended all the way to Yu Huang’s feet and onto the distant beach.

Yu Huang lowered her head and looked at the large tree root under her feet. She said, “Look at these tree roots. Doesn’t it look like the bloodline in a person’s body? Look at that Spirit Gathering Tree. Doesn’t it look like the heart in a person’s body?”

Sheng Xiao nodded and agreed. “Yes.”

The Cong Wolf Mystic Realm was only open to the public for a month. The mystic realm had been opened countless times, so the good stuff had long been plundered clean by the first batch of experts who entered the mystic realm.

Now, the only real treasure in the mystic realm was that Spirit Gathering Tree.

Everyone hurried to the Gathering Spirit Tree. Yu Huang asked Sheng Xiao, “Where are we going?”

Sheng Xiao said, “It’s rare for us to come here. Let’s walk around.” Cultivating under the Spirit Gathering Tree for a month was equivalent to three years in the outside world. Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao were gifted. They could cultivate faster than others. They were not in a hurry to go under the Spirit Gathering Tree.

The two of them strolled around the mystic realm. Yu Huang even took out her phone to take pictures. She wanted to let her mentor and father take a look when she returned.

After walking around, the two of them arrived at the only building in the mystic realm.

It was an ancient building three stories high. The sign on the door said, “Cong Wolf Region.” Sheng Xiao said, “This should be Prime Emperor Cong Lang’s collection room.”

In the cultivation world, the ‘realm’ represented a person’s state of mind and taste. Clearly, this should be the collection room used by Prime Emperor Cong Lang to store collections.

The two of them walked into the storeroom and saw the floor full of leeches.

On the ground, the boxes containing the treasures were scattered all over the ground. It was obvious that the person who had broken into the mystic realm had once roughly swept through this building.

Yu Huang saw a painting on the ground. She bent down and picked it up, only to realize that it was a woman.

The woman was slightly plump and was wearing a pink dress. She had countless red hairpins and gems on her head. She held a carving knife in her right hand and a doll-like thing in her left.

Yu Huang noticed that on the wall facing the door of the collection room, there was a metal nail. Clearly, this painting was hung here originally.

The person on this painting was not considered beautiful. The artist who painted this painting had average drawing skills, but it was placed in the collection room by Prime Emperor Cong Lang as a treasure and hung in a place that could be seen the moment the door was opened.

It was obvious that the person in the painting was Prime Emperor Cong Lang’s darling.

Sheng Xiao thought about the same thing as Yu Huang. He said, “The woman in the painting should be Prime Emperor Cong Lang’s wife.”

“Yes.”

Those people had stolen their treasure, but they had abandoned Cong Lang’s real treasure on the ground and trampled on it at will.

Yu Huang wiped the dirt off the drawing and hung it on the wall again. She said, “It looks better this way.” Yu Huang said to Sheng Xiao, “If anyone breaks into my mystic realm and throws your drawing on the ground, I will kill them.”

Sheng Xiao smiled. “Draw one for me when we get back.”

“Sure.”

The treasures on the ancient shelf on the first floor had long been robbed. They did not stop and walked straight to the second floor.

Every room on the second floor was a mess. After confirming that everything had been plundered, they went to the third floor.

The third floor was also covered in debris, but this time, what fell to the ground was not Cong Lang’s collections, but a pile of dolls.

The doll was a wooden doll. It was unknown what material was applied to the doll, but it was very good at preventing decay and decay. After so many years, the doll was still well-maintained.

Yu Huang picked up a doll beside her feet and realized that the doll’s head was broken. She picked up another doll and realized that the doll’s arm was broken.

There were dolls everywhere. They were all dismembered.

Sheng Xiao picked up a doll and touched the material. He suddenly said, “This paint…” Sheng Xiao frowned and said,” It’s corpse oil. ”

Yu Huang quickly squatted down and picked up another doll. She carefully touched the baby’s skin. After Sheng Xiao’s reminder, Yu Huang also felt that the paint looked like corpse oil.

“Is it animal corpse oil, or human?”

Sheng Xiao put the doll in front of his nose and sniffed it. He said, “Human.”

Yu Huang immediately threw the doll away.

Sheng Xiao did not react as violently as she did. He picked up another doll and looked at it. In the end, he found that all the dolls were covered in corpse oil.

Why did someone smear corpse oil on the dolls’ bodies?

The two of them looked at each other and said, “Strange.”

Before she left, Yu Huang picked up a beheaded doll and put it in the storage device. Then, she followed Sheng Xiao downstairs.

When they reached the first floor, Yu Huang raised her head and glanced at the painting. She said, “The Cong Lang Emperor probably isn’t from the Holy Spirit Continent. Look at the clothes on his lover’s body. They’re not from the Holy Spirit Continent’s ancient times.”

Sheng Xiao said, “They should be from another world.”

As they spoke, they walked toward the Spirit Gathering Tree at the top of the mountain. After a while, Yu Huang grabbed Sheng Xiao’s hand. “That’s not right!”

Sheng Xiao stopped and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Yu Huang looked up at Sheng Xiao and said, “That painting is wrong!” Yu Huang’s pupils dilated. When she spoke again, her tone suddenly became nervous. She said, “Did you notice what the woman in that painting is doing?”

Sheng Xiao thought about it and replied firmly, “Carving dolls.” Thinking of the dolls on the third floor, Sheng Xiao felt a strange sensation.

Yu Huang nodded. She said, “That’s right, she’s carving a doll. But when I hung that painting on the wall earlier, the doll in that woman’s hand was a doll that was about to be finished. When I left just now, I glanced at that woman. If I remember correctly, the doll in that woman’s hand had no head!”

Sheng Xiao’s pupils dilated.

“You sure?”

Yu Huang felt a chill down her spine. She let out a sigh and said, “Let’s go back and take a look.”

“Alright!”

The two of them quickly ran back to the collection room and pushed open the door.

As soon as they looked up, they b.u.mped into the painting.

In the drawing, the woman’s posture did not change. She was still carving the doll. Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao slowed down. They walked to the drawing and leaned closer to it. They looked down and saw that the doll in the woman’s hand was really headless!

At that moment, the woman in the painting suddenly turned her head around. She glared at Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao with her empty black eyes.
