That afternoon, Lin Yi returned to Zhang Family Village alone.
After the Vine Snake's surface tentacles had been destroyed yesterday, they had not appeared again. Lin Yi had also basically finished exploring half of Zhang Family Village's Core Zone.
Today, he planned to investigate the remaining areas.
More than ten minutes later, Lin Yi stopped in the courtyard of a residence, frowning. Inside an empty rice jar lay a dry, bleached skeleton.
The skeleton was only a little over a meter tall and appeared to have belonged to a child. Because something had happened in Zhang Family Village, the child had hidden here, yet still died.
Lin Yi took out the skeleton and found no obvious external injuries. It was highly likely that the child hiding in the rice jar had starved to death.
Presumably, this child had personally experienced the great upheaval in Zhang Family Village.
Lin Yi sighed softly, then dug a pit in an open area of the courtyard and buried the child's remains.
Other than the child's skeleton, there were no other meaningful discoveries in this residence.
Lin Yi vaulted over the wall and continued exploring the neighboring courtyard. But just then, the Strange Stone on his chest trembled slightly. In his perception, a Child Wandering Ghost took shape out of thin air and slowly floated behind him.
What was this?
Lin Yi frowned. Could this Wandering Ghost's resentful spirit have formed from the lingering consciousness on that skeleton?
Wandering Ghosts were relatively common in the Wilderness. They were the lowest-grade Ghost Spirits. It was said that living beings with intense unwillingness before death, whose wills refused to disperse, would transform into Wandering Ghosts after dying.
He had not expected to witness the formation of a Wandering Ghost with his own eyes today.
