1094 A Hole Worn Down by Dripping Blood (2/2)

-The handprint… it's still fresh!-

The blood had not dried yet, meaning that it had been left on the box mere moments ago!

”Watch out!” Mo Fan warned the others.

Ayleen and Mu Ningxue regrouped with Mo Fan instantly, and observed their surroundings on full alert. Tony was frightened by how serious Mo Fan was, and quickly hid between the three.

”What...what's going on?” Tony asked in a trembling voice.

”We've found the treasure, but I'm afraid the person that was holding it just then is in deep trouble!” Mo Fan flipped the box over and showed the handprint to the others.

Tony's face instantly turned pale when he saw the bloody handprint. He said nervously, ”I wasn't able to hear them just then… does...does that mean...”

Drip, drip, drip...

A clear sound came from the side all of a sudden. It sounded like water drops falling to the ground.

Mo Fan looked up at the boulder and saw liquid dripping continuously into a hole on it.

Ayleen had noticed it, too. She cast a Brilliant Light to light the place up, including the liquid that was dropping onto the boulder... and it turned out to be bright red!

The liquid was none other than fresh blood!

The viscous blood was dropping onto the boulder at a constant rate. Most shockingly, the top of the boulder where the blood was falling onto had fully caved in, as if it was a huge bowl.

A hole worn down by dripping blood!

For some reason, a terrifying thought crossed Mo Fan's mind.

There was a saying that even the smallest drops of water would eventually wear out a rock if they continued to fall over a long period. After realizing that the top of the boulder where the blood was falling was the only part that had caved in, Mo Fan immediately assumed that the boulder had only caved in after blood drops had been falling on it for a very long time!

The question was, how long and how much blood would it take to wear down such a huge boulder?

”There...there are people hanging above us!” Tony shivered in fear, even his voice sounded different.

The light slowly rose, allowing them to look higher up. However, they immediately witnessed a shocking sight. A few people, not sure if they were dead or alive, were hanging upside down above the boulder, and the blood was dropping from one of them!

”It's Kelly and his team!” Ayleen said.

”Are they dead?” Mu Ningxue was shocked too. Where was the thing that hung them up like sausages?

”Let's leave this place!” Mo Fan frowned. He was deadly serious.

”So we're just going to leave them?” Ayleen was still trying to learn the truth, yet Mo Fan was already leaving the Seven Serpents Dragon Pond.

Mu Ningxue did not say a word. She quickly followed Mo Fan. Tony had almost wet his pants, and had no intention to stay behind either.

Ayleen bit her lips and withdrew the light. She quickly left with the others.

Mo Fan was walking quickly, as if he did not even want to stay a second more in that place. Mu Ningxue rarely saw Mo Fan in such a panic...

”Fatty, lead the way!” Mo Fan urged.

Tony walked in front and brought the three toward the exit.

After some time, Ayleen who was deeply troubled finally spoke, ”Are...are they all dead?”

”Yeah, they were all dead,” Mo Fan nodded firmly.

”I didn't hear their heartbeats, either,” Tony turned around and said.

Ayleen was lost for words. Her face seemed puzzled and troubled.

”What exactly happened to them?” Ayleen said.

”I don't want to know,” Mo Fan replied.

It was not like Mo Fan had suddenly lost his courage, nor was he so cold-blooded that he did not bother checking if the people were dead or not, but it was very easy to speculate what happened by considering the details...

Kelly and his group were all members of national teams. The fact that his group had all died so quickly, without any scream or sound, meant the creature in that place was a few levels stronger than them!

How could they possibly stand a chance against a creature like that?

Mo Fan was an adventurous man, but he was no fan of death, and even he felt threatened in the terrifying Seven Serpents Dragon Pond. He felt a great sense of death from the darkness above him!

Mo Fan strongly believed that the creature that had murdered Kelly and his group was right above them!
