The bones of these sacrificial offerings were piled into a large pit, forming a site for rituals.
Wen Yan had heard that in ancient times, there was no such warmth and intimacy; human sacrifices were common occurrences, with many records on tortoise shells documenting numerous incidents of human sacrifices.
The murals depicted in this scene were not simply about human sacrifices; there were many beasts, and Wen Yan speculated that they might represent roles such as slaves or prisoners of war.
As the path widened, the content of the murals also increased, becoming more and more abstract towards the end.
What he saw was one ritual after another, and in the end, he saw the original large pit filled with corpses, beyond which he could no longer understand what was depicted.
In an abstract manner, it seemed like there was a gigantic tentacle monster waving its appendages, yet Wen Yan always felt that the fragmented mural didn't portray a tentacle monster.
