He entered the cave, which was not dark inside; sunlight streamed through the entrance, brightening the area. The leader's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his nose twitched as he detected a foul odor.
He had a vague sense of foreboding, but under Old Pan's lead, they continued walking further inside. After about a dozen breaths, they reached the end.
All were somewhat stunned, standing still, incredulously staring at the scene before them.
Corpses, densely packed, were monkey corpses, shrunken in size with dull skin, clearly dead for some time. Strangely, there were no maggots feeding on these monkeys.
It was somewhat suspicious.
"Ghosts, there are ghosts!"
Old Pan's eyes flickered as he suddenly shouted.
"Snap."
One of them slapped him on the head:
"Damn it, what are you yelling about!"
"Are you fooling us again?" the leader, a man with a scarred face, glared fiercely at Old Pan, his long knife resting on Old Pan's neck.
