Digging To Survive: I Can See Hints Chapter 248 - A Bad Guess

Chapter 248 - A Bad Guess

Klein held the shimmering Endless Sword as he walked slowly.
It was extremely quiet around him. There wasn't even any wind.
It was as though the entire world had been frozen.
It had been snapped into a photograph, frozen at a certain moment.
Klein came to the center of the village. The place had completely changed.
There had originally been a large number of white and wretched corpses.
They were all piled up and stacked together.
Such a terrifying scene had disappeared!
The place was already covered in endless weeds.
It was as if everything Klein had seen before was an illusion.
But Klein chose to believe his eyes.
He was sure that he had seen it before, and it wasn't an illusion at all.
Then it could only mean that something had happened here after Klein left!
Then what was it?
Klein squatted down and stroked the weeds in his hand.
These weeds were unexpectedly real.
Klein could feel the sharpness of the edges of the weeds, the hairs on the leaves, the firmness of the roots, and even the fragrance of the weeds.
This made Klein begin to doubt everything in front of him.
'Is it real or fake?'
Then, Klein lifted the weeds and looked at the ground.
The ground from before had been dyed black by countless amounts of blood.
That black color wasn't the black that was unique to black soil. It was a rich color at a glance.
It was pitch-black, as though there was something strange flowing between the soil.
Furthermore, the entire land emitted a stench, a fishy stench. Even someone as powerful as Klein couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine as he stood there.
It was as though all the bones weren't completely dead, and they were only missing an opportunity to be resurrected.
But now?
Klein looked at the ground that was exposed by the weeds.
It was yellow.
Roots that were covered in weeds were everywhere.
Klein grabbed a handful and placed it on his nose. He sniffed it lightly. It was the smell of soil.
He definitely couldn't have smelled it wrong.
That was because the catacombs world had the most soil.
Furthermore, they needed to constantly dig through the soil to enter the next world.
Klein could no longer remember how many shovels he had used.
The smell of digging deep into a cave and the soil emitting from it was something that Klein would never forget for the rest of his life!
At the thought of this, Klein was a little confused.
'Then what exactly is this place?'
'Could it be that a powerhouse had moved the entire place after he entered the mountain peak?'
Klein couldn't help but think.
But he quickly shook his head.
If he really had such powerful strength, why would he play such tricks?
Putting others aside, even with Klein's current strength, he couldn't make a person change places without him noticing.
Then, what went wrong?
Klein frowned, gritted his teeth, and tried his best to think.
He thought about every detail of the cave he had entered.
'I passed by the cliff, and there was a rich sword aura inside.'
'I came to the entrance of the desolate village. The entrance was extremely dilapidated.'
'I saw an endless number of corpses, and all of them had died tragically.'
'I saw a big pot.'
'A big pot?'
Klein's eyes lit up.
He suddenly thought of something and hurriedly walked over to where the big pot was.
When he arrived, sure enough, the big pot was still there.
There were still white bones piled up inside, and the stove under the big pot was still half-burned bones.
The existence of this place confirmed the true existence of the desolate village.
Klein's expression relaxed, but he quickly twisted it again. Why did the cauldron exist here alone and didn't disappear with the desolate village?
Could it be that this cauldron had another meaning?
Klein walked up and began to carefully examine the cauldron that hadn't disappeared.
The cauldron was very well-preserved.
He didn't know what material it was made of, but it hadn't rusted in such a long time.
Klein reached his hand in and gently scraped the side of the pot to take a closer look.
Not only was the pot not rusted, it didn't even have any dust.
This was very unusual.
Klein vaguely remembered that the desolate village gate, the bones, and the tattered wooden house he had passed by had all accumulated a lot of dust.
But why was the pot the only one that didn't have any dust?
Klein didn't know, so he continued exploring inside.
There were only a few bones in the cauldron. They looked like hand and leg bones.
Klein picked up a leg bone and verified it with the white bones he remembered from the desolate village.
In the end, he came to a nauseating thought. This bone didn't belong to a wild beast. It was very likely to belong to a human!
Then, he continued taking out the bones.
There were a total of eight bones, and only four of them were intact.
They were three leg bones and one hand bone.
As for the pile of fragments, they seemed to be pieces of a head.
Because they were too broken, Klein was unable to make an accurate judgment.
Looking at the bones in front of him, Klein frowned.
A bad guess spread out in his mind.
Could it be that the person cooking here was a human?
Klein himself was shocked by his own thought.
But if that was the case, then the contents of the diary he obtained in the secret room had been clearly explained.
With a thought, Klein took out the diary from back then.
'This is a huge Cataclysm. All of them are dead. No, there seems to be one who survived.'
'No, no, no. How could this be? Why are you treating us like this?'
'On the ninety-ninth day, I still haven't found a way out. I'm almost unable to hold on any longer.'
Looking at the contents of the diary, Klein connected them to what he knew.
First of all, there was the sentence, "This is a huge Cataclysm. All of them died. No, there seems to be one who survived."
It meant that a huge cataclysm had occurred somewhere in the catacombs world. The cataclysm was extremely terrifying. Everyone had died, but there was one person who survived.
It meant that the cataclysm was irreversible, and there were people who had survived.
And this diary was buried in the secret chamber of the cave. It was very likely to be referring to the caves with the Blood Ape.
The first two caves didn't match the contents of the diary, but the third cave, which was suspected to be a cave of Raksha, was very similar to the contents of the diary.
There were also many skeletons, and all of them died in extremely miserable conditions. And most importantly, this passage revealed that the Cataclysm was unstoppable.
As for the Sword Qi that cut through the mountain at the village entrance, although it had evolved over a very long period of time and the Sword Qi in it was much weaker, Klein could still sense how powerful the owner of the Sword Qi was.
And according to his guess, the owner of the Sword Qi was probably the most powerful existence he had ever seen!
This also explained why he had become an unstoppable disaster that wiped out everyone!
Then, Klein looked at the next sentence.
"No, no, no. How could this happen? Why are you treating us like this?"
This sentence was the only piece of information that Klein found intact in the countless pieces of information.
