Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 222 Looking for a token

Yunyi took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing her discomfort, and retrieved a sharp knife from her spatial storage to continue examining the items.

We should find an opportunity to have Zhao Dazhuang forge a shovel, pickaxe, or rake and put it in our spatial storage for future use.

At this point, weapons were the only option.

There is a river not far from the bottom of this cliff, and the banks are covered with rocks and weeds. Perhaps because it is sheltered from the wind and the temperature is relatively high, the weeds are still quite lush even though it is winter now.

Moreover, some traces indicate that wild animals frequently roam this area.

Therefore, some corpses were devoured by wild beasts as soon as they fell to the ground, and their bones were basically not intact.

Some of those who died not long ago still have rotting flesh remaining.

Even a modern forensic doctor would be overwhelmed trying to piece together so many skeletons.

But Yunyi wouldn't give up. She thought that with so many children, surely one or two would have some kind of accessory, and that one or two of their keepsakes wouldn't be taken away.

If we can find even a small clue, we might be able to further confirm the child's identity, and then perhaps even find the person who abducted the child.

Although this matter has been going on for several years, if we don't bring them all to justice, even more children will suffer in the future.

As someone who has traversed three thousand worlds and accumulated merit, it would have been fine if she hadn't known, but now that she did know and had encountered it, she couldn't just sit idly by.

However, in such a large place with so many bones, finding an object is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

"Boss, we're here to help you." Just when Yunyi was in despair, Sixteen's voice rang out.

Immediately, the wolf pack surged in from all directions.

"Your team has grown again?" Yunyi glanced at the wolf pack. There were only about twenty of them before, but now there were at least forty or fifty.

There are wolves in these mountains too, but they're too weak. I didn't even have to use my claws; Fourteen and his ten henchmen easily subdued them.

Yunyi couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips. Was this Sixteen planning to unify the wolf realm?

squeak squeak.

At this moment, Little Fox Eighteen rushed over from a distance and jumped into Yunyi's arms.

Immediately afterward, Monkey Sixteen and his henchmen charged over.

Yunyi wasn't stingy at all. Since there was no one around, she simply took out two large basins from her space, went to the river to fill them with water, and then dripped two drops of spiritual spring water into each basin.

The wolves and monkeys lined up to drink water.

Those in front knew the rules and didn't drink much; each person only took a sip.

However, there were so many of them that after several basins of water were poured out, each one drank a sip before they finally sat down.

"Let's get to work now. Search through these piles of corpses for jade pendants or similar items, anything that isn't rotten will do," Yunyi instructed Sixteen.

Sixteen then directed the wolf pack and monkey troop to start working.

Yunyi stood to the side holding Shiba, but she focused all her attention on her eyes. Suddenly, the gray and black aura around her made her feel very uncomfortable.

Suddenly, a faint red light shone from the nearby bushes.

Yunyi's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly went over and lifted the skeleton on top. She saw a relatively complete skeleton underneath, and on the wrist bone of that skeleton was a small red bead, which turned out to be a love bean. Perhaps because it was worthless, it was not taken away.

Yunyi took a handkerchief and picked up the love bean. After wiping it clean, she was surprised to find that there were words carved on it.

"Ningning?" Yun Yi frowned. Was this the child's name? In any case, it was a clue, so she put it into her spatial storage.

"Hey boss, here's a pearl flower." Sixteen called out to Yunyi.

Yunyi went over and saw that the beaded flower was very small and must have fallen off the headdress. The pearls on it were still there. This was used for little girls to tie their hair into a bun. A little girl who could afford such a beaded flower must be from a wealthy family.

Then another wolf found a piece of jade pendant in half.

A monkey found an embroidered handkerchief.

After that, they searched through almost all the bones in the area, but found nothing else.

Yunyi carefully examined the skeletons that had some belongings left behind. She was able to identify two girls and two boys. The one who died first was the little girl with the beaded hairpin, who died three years ago at the age of six.

The boy who recently passed away was the one wearing love beans. He died about six months ago, when he was around eight years old.

The other boy, who had half a jade pendant on him, was about three years old and died a year ago.

The girl near the handkerchief died two years ago, around five years old.

Yunyi looked at the four relatively intact corpses, sighed slightly, then looked at the location and found the best spot to start digging a pit.

The wolves and monkeys also began to help, some using sticks and others using their claws, and soon they had dug four holes.

Yunyi buried the four corpses and carved tombstones on wooden boards. Since she didn't know their names, she carved their genders and ages on them.

As for the others, there were too many and too fragmented for her to handle at the moment, so she could only help by reciting the Rebirth Mantra a few times, hoping that the children could be reborn into a good family in their next life and grow up safely.

By the time we finished doing all that, the moon was high in the sky.

Sixteen dispersed the local wolf pack; after all, feeding so many of them would be a challenge for the alpha wolf.

After washing herself briefly with water, Yunyi found a sheltered spot and started a fire. Then she took out a lot of meat that had been soaked in the spiritual spring water and distributed it to Fourteen and Fifteen.

After everyone had finished eating, Yunyi stood up and, without using her grappling hook, beckoned Nineteen over, grabbed its paw, and was lifted up to the cave entrance above.

However, since it was nighttime, the cave was even darker. But Yunyi's eyesight was extraordinary, so she was able to see clearly after a little adjustment.

About two or three meters inside the cave, it turns a corner, and after walking another five or six meters, it starts to fork in the road.

Yunyi didn't rush to choose which path to take. Instead, she closed her eyes and began to listen to the sounds around her. As a result, she heard footsteps behind her. Before Yunyi could turn around, Shiba darted ahead and headed straight for the passage on the left.

Yunyi hurriedly followed.

After walking for a long time, the faint sound of flowing water could be heard ahead, and there were even lights.

Yunyi quickly stopped and hid in the shadows to look ahead. In front of her was a huge stone chamber with torches burning on the walls. She could see a large pool in the center of the chamber, and in the pool was an iron cage suspended by ropes, where several children were locked.
