Chapter 590 The First Corpse

"Could it be...could it be that someone is missing again?" Someone shouted, but no one answered him. It seemed that this was already the default practice.

Because since they entered the Demon Realm, one person has disappeared every night. Everyone has gone from fear, to everyone being in danger, to finally falling into numbness.

Where that man went is unknown.

It was like disappearing out of thin air, evaporating from the world without leaving any trace.

It was as if a powerful energy had moved him out of this time and space out of thin air.

Maybe that person is in purgatory at this time, or maybe he is in a fog and will never be able to get out.

Who can know all this? The only thing they know is that they hope they will never become the next missing person.

Ye Shuo sometimes recalled the monster he saw that day. Its speed was so fast that in just a blink of an eye, he could no longer feel any fluctuations in the monster's power. And Yin Ze couldn't tell the difference between it and the one that attacked him.

Are the monsters the same one?

Moreover, were the monster beasts they encountered in the Demon Realm the same one from beginning to end, or were there...several ones?

Because their styles are different, the one at night is murderous and comes and goes without a trace, while the one that attacks Yin Ze and Su Yanmo during the day has a significantly lower force value than the two of them.

They fought for a long time, but in the end not even one of them was killed.

But the weirdest thing is the one that stole the map and the distress firework on the same day.

It neither hurts nor captures anyone. Its purpose seems to be just to steal everyone's survival tools. Why is it doing this? Is it because it wants to trap everyone here and slowly ravage them?

Turning over, Ye Shuo sighed under the bright moonlight. There were too many things he couldn't figure out.

…

It was another quiet and windless night.

Beside the bonfire, among the sleeping people, I quietly opened one eye.

The man's face was dark, with only a few sparse hairs on his head, and his face was pockmarked. Although he opened his eyes, he was still lying on the ground motionless.

"Damn it, I didn't dare to drink more water before going to bed. Why do I still have to urinate urgently in the middle of the night..." The man cursed in a low voice, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, his bitter face drooping even more.

"The moon is still so high. I'm afraid it's just past the ugly time, right? There are still several hours before dawn. How can we survive this?"

Obviously that person also knew that leaving the team alone at this time was courting death. At first, he tried to fall asleep again, but the more nervous he became, the more obvious the urge to urinate became. He tossed and turned for a while, but he became more and more awake.

.

The man let out a long breath, as if he had made up his mind. He sat up resignedly, stretched out his legs and kicked another young man sleeping not far away: "Zhao Wu! Zhao Wu, get up and accompany me."

It’s convenient for me to go!”

The young man Zhao Wuzheng was sleeping in a daze. He rubbed his eyes. When he realized what he said, he was frightened: "Don't, Brother Zhu... This is a fool's errand. It's not safe for us to go out..."

The man from before was named Li Zhu, and when he heard this, his face was straight: "You are the only one who needs you! Are you going to leave? If you don't leave, I'll give you double the gambling debt I owed you!"

This sentence seemed to hit Zhao Wu's Achilles' heel, and he immediately got up: "Brother Zhu, be merciful, be merciful... Okay, I'll go, can't I go?"

Li Zhu was still cursing, and dragged Zhao Wu away. The two gradually moved away from the team, and their shadows were dragged extremely long on the ground, mixed in the dense grass, as if they had stretched out rows of ferocious tentacles.

Zhao Wu was timid to begin with, and he kept screaming in surprise along the way. Li Zhu himself was also frightened, and he was scared to death by Zhao Wu countless times. Of course, Zhao Wu was always the unlucky one in the end.

Finally, the two of them climbed over a small field ridge, and Li Zhu raised his chin: "Just wait here, I will go over there..." After not hearing Zhao Wu's answer for a long time, he noticed that there was suddenly an empty space next to him.

, turned around in shock, and saw that Zhao Wu had squatted on the ground at some point, holding a lot of paper money in his hand, and was tremblingly lighting a fire. But because his arms were shaking too much, he couldn't light it for a long time.

Li Zhu was extremely frightened and angry. He rushed forward and slapped Zhao Wu on the back of the head: "What are you doing?"

Zhao Wu smiled apologetically: "Brother Zhu, I think the legend Su Yanmo told on the first day is true. People who are dragged away by monsters here will turn into ghosts and drag their companions into the water. I...

...I just want to burn some paper money for them so that they never come back to me..."

Li Zhu was so angry that he slapped him again: "I need to go now for convenience! You are just burning paper money here. Aren't you disgusting me?" As he spoke, he spat fiercely into the grass: "What bad luck!"

Zhao Wu nodded and bowed repeatedly, but as soon as Li Zhu's figure disappeared into the grass, he lit the fire again and kept chanting: "The sky is Lingling, the earth is Lingling..."

Li Zhu didn't dare to go too far, so he found an open space. As soon as he took off his belt, he saw a black shadow in front of him. He was frightened and took a big step back. It took him a while to see clearly.

It was actually his own shadow under the moonlight. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but he always felt that the shadow was constantly moving, as if something was about to crawl out of it.

"Grandma, there can't be anything unclean in this damn place..." Li Zhu cursed and was about to solve the problem quickly. At this time, a pair of lantern-sized eyes suddenly appeared in front of him, almost glued to his face.

on his face.

…

"ah--!"

"Wow!" Zhao Wu heard the screams not far away and knew something had happened to Li Zhu, so he ran away in fright.

"Brother Zhu, it wasn't me who killed you. You must never come to me... When you go back, I will definitely burn a lot of paper money for you..."

Zhao Wu stumbled all the way back to the team. Everyone was awakened by the noise here and got up one after another and started looking for Li Zhu.

For so many days, every missing person has been completely missing. No one is found alive or dead. Although everyone has long given up hope in the search work, no matter what, there is always a search.

Even if you can't find the missing person, you might still be able to find some clues left by the monsters.

All this is just the tacit struggle of everyone before reaching the final desperate situation.

The gauze on Su Yanmo's forehead was stained with blood again. After so many days, his injury seemed to have never healed. But at this time, he also followed behind everyone, calling out to Li Zhu.

name.

At the same time, everyone must be careful to avoid the traps scattered everywhere. Wang Daqi dug it spontaneously a few days ago, claiming that it was to resist the attacks of monsters. The traps were filled with sharp wooden stakes. But after a few days,

But not a single monster was caught.

After searching, they found nothing again. Everyone was about to go back to sleep when Kemei's scream suddenly came from not far away.

The team gathered over, and at this time everyone saw that in a trap set by Wang Daqi, Li Zhu's body was lying there, with wooden stakes penetrating through his chest, almost nailing him to pieces.

A hedgehog with blood flowing all over the ground.

This was the first corpse that appeared in front of them.

Unfortunately, he died in Wang Daqi's trap.
