Seeing Caspian coming over, there was only a trace of surprise in Journey’s eyes, but he didn’t say anything and just signaled him not to speak casually.
Caspian nodded, indicating that he understood, and then walked behind the man and the woman. The two squatted and Caspian stood, so he immediately saw what they were observing.
It was a stone tablet half-covered under the black gravel. This stele looked more like a Realm Tablet.
There were three twisted words written on it, “Crossing Soul River”.
“It’s here…” Caspian then heard the woman speak to Journey. The woman who spoke was the one that “did not exist” mentioned by Bowen.
Perhaps it was because of the psychological effect, Caspian felt as if his blood vessels had been injected with ice water the moment he heard the other party’s voice. A chilling sensation quickly spread throughout his body. However, Caspian noticed the woman again.
Caspian was extremely sensitive to vigor, he could clearly feel that there was vigor surging inside the woman’s body. This meant that the other party was a living person. Although this made people confused, it also made Caspian pay more attention to her. Both Journey Doney and the two guys he brought were not simple characters.
After hearing the woman’s words, Journey did not respond immediately, but turned to look at the short man.
After a while, as the short man nodded, Caspian suddenly found that Journey looked relieved.
“Well, get ready to leave. Come here.” Journey greeted everyone.
The crowd didn’t know what was going on, so they all came over. Yvonne and Bowen leaned close to Caspian.
Journey stood in front of the crowd. He took out a clay jar the size of two fists from his storage pouch.
Seeing the jar, no one else had any special reaction. But Caspian and Yvonne looked at each other in surprise.
It was a jar used to bury ashes. Although in the mortal world of continent, some ancestors had passed away. They were all placed in coffins and buried in them. But on the battlefield, it would not work. In this great battle, too many people died, and both sides had dead people.
Who would spend so much manpower and material resources to bury them one by one?
If it was better, he would set a fire and burn them all to ashes. If anyone wanted to pay their respects, then they could use this clay jar to grab a random one, put it in, and bring it back for a thought. If he didn’t even bother to burn, then he would throw the body there and let wild animal bite and rot.
Caspian and Yvonne were both from the mortal world, and they had experienced wars, so they were very familiar with this kind of pottery jar. Therefore, at this moment, when the others saw Journey take out a handful of black powder from the jar, which was neither black nor gray, and showed a look of interest, Caspian and Yvonne already knew what the powder was, it was ashes.
In addition, on the battlefield, the corpses full of violence, unwillingness, anger, despair, and other negative emotions were turned into ashes.
Journey sprinkled the ashes out.
The ashes emitted a strange green light in mid-air, and then disappeared as if they had been absorbed by the darkness of the Chaos. For some reason, everyone present felt their hearts tighten when they saw this scene.
Immediately afterwards, a gurgling sound rang out from the depths of the darkness. It was as if a spring had been opened. Everyone looked at each other and looked around. Even Journey couldn’t help looking around in confusion.
Caspian and the other two were much calmer in comparison. In fact, Caspian had seen a lot more scenes than this. So he just felt surprised for a moment and then returned to normal.
As for Yvonne, Caspian was by her side. Although she often refused to admit defeat, Caspian’s calmness gave her great confidence.
Caspian and the other two had their own reasons for coming here, so they did not hesitate to board the ship.
