The group followed the direction of the footprints and walked for about half an hour. Bai Ruozhu, with sharp eyes, suddenly pointed at a spot and said, "Look there!"
Everyone looked over and saw a piece of white bone. Gao Zhou, a former medical student, immediately recognized it, "It's a human thigh bone."
Bai Ruozhu nodded, "It seems to have been dismantled before death. We should be careful; there might be mechanical traps nearby."
This time, Yuan Licheng and Fo Lanying walked ahead. Yuan Licheng checked the array, while Fo Lanying used mechanical puppets to assist.
Soon, they discovered a trap. It wasn't a sophisticated one, and there was no mechanism inside—just a large, deep pit with sharpened stakes inserted.
"There's blood on them; it must have killed people or animals, but the bodies aren't here," Yuan Licheng said.
The group conducted a thorough inspection around the trap but found no other traces.
