"what are you up to?"

Zhang Yangqing looked at the little squirrel in confusion.

Because of Zhang Yangqing's body, he has no energy and cannot perceive anything, so many things can only be observed with his eyes. Then the pets with stronger perception become another pair of eyes for the Chosen Ones.

Hearing Zhang Yangqing's question, the little squirrel pointed to some gloomy corners of the pet park with its furry little hands.

There was clearly no wind in those places, but one could still see the leaves swaying strangely.

There is no accumulated water, but ripples suddenly appear.

If you pass by these places, you will feel a biting cold.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" The little squirrel waved the Ten Thousand Souls Banner excitedly, meaning that there were ghosts wandering in those places and it wanted to absorb all of them.

Because of the sacrifice of the mythical snake demon from the previous level, the little squirrel gained some of the snake demon's abilities and was able to see souls that ordinary people could not see.

Zhang Yangqing thought for a moment and realized that the rules did not prohibit the absorption of souls here.

And looking at the dilapidated scene, it seems that a lot of people must have died, so it might not be a bad idea to let the little squirrel gather some "helpers".

Maybe it will be useful then.

"Go ahead, and be careful." Zhang Yangqing nodded in agreement.

Regarding the use of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, he had already taught the little squirrel some basic methods.

Under normal circumstances, ghosts cannot manifest themselves and hurt people, but after being refined through the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and combined with soul-controlling techniques, ghosts can be materialized and attack the enemy.

The strength of these ghosts depends partly on their strength in life and partly on the little squirrel's cultivation.

Watching the little squirrel carrying the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and jumping around to "catch ghosts", Zhang Yangqing and other pets officially entered the pet park.

The pet park exudes a decadent smell late at night.

The air was filled with the stench of rotting meat mixed with the pungent smell of disinfectant.

With every step, the soil under your feet makes a sticky sound, as if you are stepping on the internal organs of some living creature.

The first stop was the bear zoo area.

The exhibition area, which should have been bustling, is now deserted, with only a few rusty rockery and dried-up pools left.

The park introduction sign reads: [Six-armed bear - rare and exotic animal, gentle in temperament, likes to interact with tourists]

[If you accidentally fall, please keep your face on the ground and wait for the staff to come over]

While seeing this row of notices, Zhang Yangqing saw through the faint moonlight that in the iron cage in the center of the exhibition area was the corpse of a strange six-armed bear.

What’s even more horrifying is that all six arms of the corpse are missing, and the broken ends are so smooth as if they were cut off by some sharp weapon.

Dried blood was scattered around the corpse, forming strange symbols.

"squeak!"

The white-haired monkey suddenly called out and pointed in a direction.

It keenly noticed that something seemed to be moving in the shadows of the rockery.

Every time it turned its head to look, the thing disappeared.

Because it was night, the view was not very clear and the white-haired monkey was not sure.

The brave maned monkey was directly coated with a layer of golden light and ran in the direction pointed by the white-haired monkey.

I arrived at that place in almost the blink of an eye, but there was nothing there.

The broken-horn goat looked around and called out a few times, as if asking the white-haired monkey whether he was sure there was something here.

Before the white-haired monkey could speak, the maned monkey squatted on the ground and pointed to a piece of mud.

Everyone can see that there is a footprint here, and it is still very fresh.

Zhang Yangqing took a look and found that the footprints were not very clear, but they should be the footprints of a small animal, such as a fox, rabbit, or vole.

But voles have tails and generally leave drag marks, so they can be ruled out.

According to normal thinking, Zhang Yangqing thought that there should be more rabbits, because rabbits have strong explosive power and extremely fast speed, and can leave directly when the maned monkeys run past.

Considering this is a world of ghost stories, there are all kinds of strange things, so it is not certain that it is a fish.
But one thing is certain, that is, they have been discovered by unknown creatures as soon as they entered this pet park.

At this time, the broken-horned goat pulled Zhang Yangqing's trouser leg.

Because it discovered that the corpse of the six-armed bear, which was clearly lying on its back just now, had now strangely turned into a side-lying position!
What's even more terrifying is that when it blinked again, the corpse returned to its original posture, as if the previous change was just an illusion.

The Broken-Horned Goat thought that this place was very strange and that perhaps he was not seeing things, so he told Zhang Yangqing about it.

This allowed Zhang Yangqing to obtain many strange clues.

It’s still the same old rule, it’s just a first glance, there isn’t much information to clue in, Zhang Yangqing can only memorize it first.

After passing the bear park, we will arrive at the sheep park.

Similar to the tragic situation in the bear park, there were many sheep carcasses lying all over the place.

Under the moonlight, the wool that should have been snow-white had turned dark brown, and the shriveled skin and flesh clung to the skeleton, forming a series of terrifying silhouettes.

The introduction sign clearly reads: [Flowerhorn sheep - gentle and cute, their horns change color with the seasons].

But the most striking thing about these corpses is that the horns on their heads are all gone.

The broken corners were jagged, as if they had been sawed off by some blunt instrument.

What was even more bizarre was that all the sheep corpses fell neatly towards the north, as if they were all looking in the same direction before they died.

From their open mouths, their tongues stuck out unnaturally, as if they were about to make a final wail.

The Broken-Horned Goat did not water ski this time, but instead tried very hard to observe.

It discovered that the blood flowing from the corpses strangely gathered together to form a distorted pattern on the ground.

The blood turned dark red after it dried, and it glowed strangely under the moonlight.

The white-haired monkey also made a discovery. It noticed that at each corner of the pentagram, there was a pinch of grayish-white powder.

When the breeze blows, the powder will float strangely, forming a vague human face shape in the air, and then quickly dissipate.

Zhang Yangqing squatted down and gently touched the edge of the pentagram pattern with his fingers.

The touch from his fingertips made him frown slightly. The blood seemed to be mixed with some sticky substance, which felt like melted wax.

"It seems that some kind of sacrificial ceremony was held here."

Zhang Yangqing said softly, his eyes sweeping over the strangely placed sheep horns.

This sacrificial ritual is different from the one used by the little squirrel.

The little squirrel sacrifices other creatures in exchange for gaining some power.

The ritual here is, to be more precise, the 'sacrifice summoning' ritual.

There are roughly two types of sacrificial summons, the first of which is direct summons.

It is to sacrifice these flower-horned sheep in order to summon some terrible creatures to appear.

The second is soul calling.

For example, using yourself or some sacrifice as a medium to invite the gods to possess you.

Zhang Yangqing couldn’t tell which one it was for now, so he could only continue collecting clues.

But here, there is already a special hint.
