1440 Should Not Hesitate (1/2)

The dead body had been badly damaged, but the skin at the back still looked like it was in good condition. On top of that piece of skin, there were two little round holes which looked like they were nailed in. Di Fuyi turned over a few corpses, and every corpse had the same two holes on their backs.

Gu Xijiu checked the wound, and she wondered. ”Were they bitten by some animal with sharp fangs? Why did the animals bite the same spot?”

Di Fuyi looked serious when he reponded, ”It's a Nail-Tooth Beast. This was the culprit that led to the destruction this place.”

Gu Xijiu thought that she had sufficient knowledge about the fierce beasts in this continent. However, it was the first time she heard about the ”It can destroy the entire town… Is it one of the level eight beasts that came from the eighth peak?”

Di Fuyi shook his head. ”This beast is not high in spiritual power. It is a level seven beast, but it is very fierce. It likes to consume human hearts. After it consumes the human's heart, the soul of that person will be dissipated and can't even reborn anymore. This beast is born by the hostility of the world. It used to reign in this continent 4,000 years ago but had been destroyed by my team and me. I never expected to see them appear again at this place…”

He carefully checked the wounds on the bodies. ”There seems to be at least eight over here…”

Gu Xijiu looked at the ruined houses around. ”However, if they were killed by the beasts, why would they destroy the houses?”

Di Fuyi thought for a moment. ”The ruined houses should be man-made. If I guess correctly, the small town was destroyed by the war at first. However, some people were reluctant to leave their homes and unfortunately were killed by these beasts…”

At the moment, the town was getting surrounded by mist. Although it was now summer, the fog made the town chilly and mysterious.

Gu Xijiu looked up at the sun over her head. It was such a sunny day. Why would there be mist all of a sudden?

Di Fuyi suddenly pulled her to his side. ”Be careful! They are coming!”
