In the heart of the place, a platform had been built.
Pretty high, and there was a fire on top.
Although there were people below, quite a lot of them, they seemed to hardly make any noise.
All very quiet.
So quiet that they could even hear the wood in the center crackling as it burned.
"Always feels like we've stumbled into some kind of cult," Lin Murong said in a low voice as he lay on the edge of the path.

Although she said she had never directly seen a cult or watched how they conducted their ceremonies, she had watched enough dramas to have a bit of experience.
Some understanding, at least.
"It's called Goldfish Base, right? Living in caves, don't they get sick? Speaking of which, zombies can't get in either."
"Mutated plants can, though." Like those strange mushrooms that thrive in damp environments like this.
This cave was just damp.
Very suitable for mushrooms to grow.
