C148 mountainous carcass (1/2)

As they went deeper into the Abyssal Mountain, the expressions of Qin Shaojie, Wen Ya and the others became more and more solemn.

Along the way, they had already encountered many corpses. These skeletons seemed to be born a long time ago, and even the bones would shatter upon being stepped on. If he guessed correctly, these corpses must be the so-called adventurous warriors who had fallen in the Abyssal Mountain.

But unfortunately, not only was no one able to make their corpses heavy when they died in Abyssal Mountain, it was also a luxury for them to collect corpses. Every time these corpses were stepped on, creaking sounds could be heard. In the silent Abyssal Mountain, it caused one to feel a chill even as they listened.

After all, once a warrior entered the Three Spiritual Realms, their bones would become extremely tough, and it would not be easy to crush them. The corpses of those who had reached the Earth Origin Stage were comparable to sharp weapons.

Although the passage of time and years made Qin Shaojie's judgement not necessarily accurate, his intuition told him that most of the corpses here were actually shattered before.

Could it be the magical beasts?

It was normal for magical beasts to enter or leave the Taihang Mountains near the Taihang Mountains. The majority of the magical beasts here were existences comparable to Genuine Force, and there were even quite a few that were comparable to Three Spiritual Realms. When they were in the Taihang Mountains, Qin Shaojie had also noticed how powerful the beasts were. However, because Qin Shaojie had the corpse puppet, he was not worried at all.

After continuously moving deeper into the Abyssal Mountain, Qin Shaojie and the rest finally stopped after a long time. This was because at this moment, he also discovered that the air was filled with an unusual smell. The smell of blood!

This smell of blood was unique to humans. Moreover, the smell of blood was floating in the air. It seemed like it had happened not long ago. What in the world was going on? Was someone seriously injured? But they didn't notice any sounds of fighting or movement at all.

Wen Ya and the rest were still looking at Qin Shaojie, their heartbeats speeding up. At this moment, the air was filled with the smell of blood. No one was an idiot, they knew that this was not caused by the slightest injury or else such a concentration would not appear in the air. Moreover, the deeper they went in, the greater the effect would be.

No one knew what was going on, nor did they know if they should continue moving forward.

”Everyone, be careful!”

Finally, Qin Shaojie made his decision to slowly walk towards the place that reeked of blood. His steps were slow, and even his feet had become lighter, just like Qin Shaojie. It was obvious that they didn't want to be targeted by something they shouldn't have.

The stench of blood in the air grew denser and denser, to the point that even the few people who came with Qin Shaojie, Wen Ya and some other people frowned. Such a cautious and prudent way of moving made them have no choice but to suppress their own breathing and control their own breath, afraid that a single movement would attract attention.

And with this kind of caution, Liu Mubai's face became a little pale, and some sweat unconsciously seeped out of her forehead. Evidently, this atmosphere had made his heart beat a lot faster.

”Corpse?!”

After travelling for several kilometers, they finally found the corpse lying on the ground!

The corpse was dead, but its body was covered with wounds. These wounds seemed to be quite fresh, and some blood even seeped out from the cracks on the wounds. However, when they saw the corpse, all of them tightened their fists. It was not because the corpse was scared, but because the clothes on the corpse had been torn. Other than the key parts being wrapped, the rest of the corpse was exposed. Beneath the nakedness, it was obvious that this person had at least thirty wounds on his body.

The depth of these injuries varied, but anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell at a glance that they were caused by profound strength.

However, the profound strength wasn't too great, because some of the deeper areas were merely for skin and flesh, and even the deeper areas were only for bones that could be seen. Although his injuries were quite severe, he had almost always avoided fatal spots. Thus, under normal circumstances, these injuries were far from enough to take a martial artist's life.

The true fatal injury was blood!

The constant flow of fresh blood caused his life force to be depleted, and he finally lost too much blood and died. After all, as long as one did not kill a fool, one could see that the fresh blood below this corpse had dyed the surrounding ten feet of ground completely red.

”The person who did this was too cruel!”

In Liu Mubai's opinion, this was simply masochism! Her opponent probably didn't wish for him to just die. Instead, she would torture her body to the point where she would lose her mind and die in despair!

”What did you find out?”

The others obviously agreed with Liu Mubai, as they all nodded their heads. After all, this was the only way to explain what had happened. However, Wen Ya actually noticed that Qin Shaojie's brows were tightly knitted, and seemed to be a little different, so she hurriedly asked.

”The cause of his death is so strange!”

Qin Shaojie carefully observed everything around this person's body. If he was killed, it would simply mean that there was no meaning. Because there were no signs of fighting nearby, when a person was cut dozens of times on his body with profound energy, there was no reaction. This was simply unjustifiable.
