C26 (1/2)

My head hurt and I felt dizzy. I vaguely remember that I had a dream.

However, when he slowly thought back, he realized that everything was still as clear as ever. He looked around and realized that he was still in the valley. How did I fall asleep, I forget, only remember, I asked the sky why, but what, I forgot.

I have to find a dark place to hide. They want to kill me, and even if I don't want to resist anymore, they won't let me go. After a few steps, I stopped.

The surroundings were filled with corpses, and the blood had yet to congeal. From the looks of it, they had just died. Frowning, I examined their wounds one by one, all of them fatal, their hearts ripped out by a claw.

This isn't how I kill people. I've never done anything like this, but who else could be so vicious here?

This absolute valley was not peaceful!

At that moment, he could not tell whether it was night or day. The surroundings were filled with corpses and it was extremely quiet. This atmosphere was extremely strange and matched the name of the valley. But, what's wrong, I thought. After a while, I understood.

I'm not dead, and I'm not the only one!

It doesn't matter if I fainted or fell asleep, I am still not awake. Killing me is as easy as turning my hand. In this valley, even if I can't leave, it's still an extremely serious issue. There's no point in harming me. Moreover, I remember there were 106 people here, but there were only 102 corpses here. That is to say, the ones who killed these people were either the remaining four or they escaped. Either way, they must know.

After inspecting the corpse again, I found that the remaining four people were all inner court disciples, and the young man from the eighth peak was among them. The smile at the corner of his mouth caused him to lean towards the first possibility. Moreover, now that I think about it, I'm actually a little doubtful about why I'm lost.

Raising my head to look at the dark depths of the valley, I knew that I was no longer the only Huntress.

Slowly walking into the valley, I closed my eyes to feel the fluctuations of Spiritual Energy. It was impossible for a massacre like this to not use Spiritual Energy. Following the direction of the Spiritual Energy fluctuations, I should be able to roughly determine their path. Moreover, there was only one path leading straight into the darkness. The deeper one went, the darker it became. It was as if it were a type of corrosion, a type of devouring that could kill life, and even forget about time.

However, I was wrong. I didn't sense any fluctuations of spiritual energy at all. It was as if they were concealing themselves, or as if they knew I was going to search like this, they sealed their own spiritual energy.

I shouldn't be looking for him so openly. The enemy is hiding in the dark and I am in the light. I will definitely become his prey, but perhaps, the prey will turn out to be a predator.

I kept walking, but I couldn't see, so I used my hearing, step by step, to listen to everything around me.

In this endless darkness, there was no concept of time. I only know that I walked slowly like this. After walking for a long time, my patience was quickly eroded by the darkness, but I could still endure it. If they could still hold it in, then why couldn't I do the same?

Perhaps it was true from the ancient saying, 'Practice makes perfect.' As I continued to listen, my hearing had increased by an immeasurable amount. Even though I was constantly concentrating, I was still extremely exhausted.

When I became weak to a certain extent, I swallowed a medicinal pill and slowly circulated the spiritual power in my body. Absolute Canyon had no spirit, and to a living person, it was extremely fatal.

After I swallowed the two pills, I felt a weak aura not far ahead of me. I didn't dare to go forward. I was afraid that this was a trap, a bait.

I hid on the mountain wall and listened, hoping to hear what was good for me from the dead silence around me. However, after what felt like a very long time, the aura became weaker and weaker. It was now intermittent, as if it would completely disappear before long. I'm betting that his injuries are fake and it's a bait!

After a long time, the aura disappeared. I continued to lurk, waiting for the other party to reveal an opening.

However, after what seemed like a long time, I realized that apart from the dead silence, there was nothing else but the dead and the dead. Such a patient hunter was either a real killer or perhaps I was wrong.

After waiting for a long time, I decided to give it a try. If it was really a trap, I would accept it even if I met a hunter who was so patient.

I tried not to make a sound. Without saving anything, I used the Enforcer's Qi to float quietly to the place where I had heard the noise. After fumbling for a while, I found a body. As soon as I touched it, I could tell where I was touching, and I grabbed the body by the throat. However, there was no breath, nor did his neck pulse. This was a corpse!

After I took the body to another place, I fumbled with him for a moment, but there was nothing. His death was caused by someone breaking his heart from behind. It was completely different from the way those people outside died. But why did they want to kill him?

If I can't figure it out, then I have no choice. I've lost a clue, and the answer I'm trying to find is a bit of a fog. It seems that sometimes, I can't be too careful. Perhaps, even though I know that it is a trap, I should still rush in.

After hesitating for a moment, I decided to continue forward. This is because I can only continue forward. Perhaps, the end of this darkness is the light. But this time, I slowed down even more. I want to find the culprit. I feel like this culprit is not someone who came here with us, but someone who existed or was trapped here a long time ago! Scenes of what happened before I lost flashed through my mind, and I became even more resolute in my decision. If he really is the person that existed in this valley, then he is the hope for me to leave!
