Long Wenmu stopped, and the team behind him also stopped.
In front of them was an open land.
"Why don't you leave?" Qing'er asked.
Long Wenmuzi looked at the terrain carefully: "We are here."
Everyone looked around, but there was nothing around except the thick fog.
"Are we here? This is where you kill the monsters?" Qing'er put her hands on her hips, pouted, and walked a few steps around, but saw nothing.
Yelan came to Long Wenmu's side and said, "Master, isn't this the place to kill the little demon?"
Long Wenmu nodded slowly.
That's right, although it is covered by fog, you can tell based on the surrounding terrain features that this is the place where the little demon was killed.
Two monsters died in Wushan that day, and the little monster was killed by everyone in the Liu family at this place.
"Why is there nothing?" Qing'er asked doubtfully.
Everyone had dispersed under Yu Qiandai's order. This place was not very big, so everyone searched the entire place with a simple search.
It was indeed the place where he fought with the little demon, but what puzzled Long Wenmu was that this place was actually empty.
"Where has that little demon you mentioned gone?" Qing'er shouted to Long Wenmu and asked.
Long Wenmu touched his chin and frowned: "It shouldn't be."
Missing?
That little demon has disappeared?
A little demon was at least more than ten feet long. After the Liu family took away the demon crystal and source stone that day, it was indeed thrown in this place. But how did such a big thing disappear out of thin air?
Long Wenmu himself walked around the open space without believing in evil. The traces of the battle that day were still vaguely visible, but the only thing missing was the corpse of the little demon.
Long Wenmu felt extremely puzzled, and his heartstrings became tense at the same time.
There is a chill flowing in the mist.
Everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke, making the scene inexplicably quiet.
Qian Lingxue came over: "Is this one of the two places you mentioned? Could it be that you recognized the wrong place?"
Long Wenmu shook his head and pointed somewhere.
Everyone looked along and saw traces of dried blood somewhere.
Qian Lingxue's expression also became serious.
"Master Long, could it be that someone got there first?" Yu Qiandai came up and asked.
Long Wenmu was silent.
Someone was the first to get there? It is indeed a reasonable explanation, but the key is who did it?
"Don't think so much for the moment, let's go to the next place and see." Qian Lingxue winked at Long Wenmu.
Long Wenmu didn't know whether someone had taken advantage of him. The little demon's body was gone, and he didn't know what happened to the big demon's body.
Although the most important things were taken away by Long Wenmu that day, it would be a pity even for Long Wenmu if such a large demon corpse was still missing.
Seeing the strange situation on the little demon corpse side, everyone did not dare to delay any longer and continued to move towards the mountain in a hurry.
About half an hour later, Long Wenmu stood in front of a pile of rocks in a daze.
The pile of rocks is where we fought the big demon before.
The traces left by that battle can be seen on the ground, and all kinds of blood stains can still be seen everywhere.
But only the corpse of the great demon was missing.
The cold wind blew by, making Long Wenmu feel a little sluggish.
"Look, check the surrounding area carefully and don't miss any traces." Yu Qiandai ordered in the crowd.
"Master, how come the corpse of the big demon is also missing?" Ye Lan was also dumbfounded and asked anxiously.
Even if the little demon's corpse disappeared, why did the big demon's corpse also disappear?
You must know that the corpse of the great demon is so huge, how could it be carried away without dozens of people.
"Hey, could it be possible that someone even got here first?" Qing'er put her hands on her eyelids and looked around.
Long Wenmu frowned.
Taken away by people from the Liu family? That's not right.
If people from the Liu family had taken away the corpse of the great demon, then why did Liu Yuan go to the Yu family that day to discuss hunting the monster with Yu Qiandai?
But if it wasn't the Liu family, could it be possible that after I and others left that day, there were other strangers who came to Wushan and happened to see the corpses of these two monsters?
Places like Wushan are rarely visited, so it stands to reason that almost no one would pass by.
Long Wenmu had so many things on his mind that he felt a little confused for no reason.
It's a rare trip here, and if I come back empty-handed, I always feel empty inside.
After all, it is still the skeleton of a great demon. If you get it yourself, it will definitely be of great use. It is a pity to lose it like this.
"Master! Come and take a look!" A shout suddenly came from the side.
Yu Qiandai ran over in a hurry and saw a huge broken crossbow in the grass next to the pile of rocks.
Long Wenmu also walked up.
"Master Long, look at this..."
Demon-killing crossbow. Long Wenmu recognized this thing.
All the demon-killing crossbows were damaged before, so he didn't take them away.
But if you take this thing back, it should be usable again after repairing it.
Qian Lingxue walked around and leaned over: "I've looked around, and there are nine more crossbows like this one."
Long Wenmu nodded.
A total of ten demon-killing crossbows, the same ten from that day, are all still left here.
"Don't you think something is wrong?" Qian Lingxue said seriously.
"What does Miss Qian Lingxue mean?" Yu Qiandai didn't understand what this meant.
"The Demon Slayer Crossbow shouldn't still be here." Long Wenmu said it clearly.
Qian Lingxue nodded: "If someone arrives first and takes away the corpse of the big demon, there is no reason to leave these ten crossbows here. It really doesn't fit the explanation that these ten heavy crossbows are still here. And I think
After we passed, there were no human bones left around. We went all the way, not to mention the traces of transportation, and we didn’t even see any traces of people coming and going along the way."
Yu Qiandai's eyes widened. It was better that Qian Lingxue didn't say anything. When the words came out, even he reacted immediately.
In this way, if the huge bones of the Great Demon were to be transported away, a huge amount of manpower and material resources would be required, so how could it not even leave any traces?
Not to mention, if someone takes away the corpse of a monster, is there any reason not to take the monster-killing crossbow with them?
After all, the Demon Slayer Crossbow is a kind of demon weapon. Anyone who sees it can tell that it is good. Even if it is damaged, it still has the value of repairing.
The demon-killing crossbow is still there, but the corpses of demon beasts and humans have disappeared?
A sharp chill came from Yu Qianyo's spine and went straight to his forehead.
"Then...then what is going on now? Is it possible that this was not done by humans?" Yu Qiandai panicked a little.
How could you not panic? It wasn't done by humans. It was probably done by monsters.
There was a ridiculous idea popping up uncontrollably in his mind.
It disappeared. Wasn't it moved away? Could it be that it was eaten by other monsters?
Speaking of which, it is indeed such a strange statement.
According to legend, monsters have a habit of protecting and devouring each other.
Generally, monsters are huge in size, and higher monsters will devour lower monsters if they need to satisfy their hunger.
The monsters eat the weak, protect each other and devour each other, and the monsters will gain more power after devouring their own kind. This is one of the reasons why monsters are so tyrannical.
When this thought came to his mind, Yu Qiandai shuddered suddenly.
Looking at the surroundings, the light is dim, the fog is dense, and the ice is biting. The towering ancient trees are moving in the cold wind, like ferocious living creatures.
"Master Yu, please gather all your subordinates back." Long Wenmu said to Yu Qiandai.
Yu Qiandai nodded blankly and quickly went to call on everyone.
"What do you think?" Qian Lingxue asked.
Long Wenmu touched his chin: "I don't think this is something done by humans. 50% of it is cannibalism, otherwise many things cannot be explained."
Qian Lingxue also said: "If you want me to see it, the possibility is more than 50%. I don't know if you have noticed that the fog on this mountain is not clearing, but before entering the mountain, I observed the surroundings. Except for this foggy mountain, the surrounding area
There is no place like this in the mountains, why do you think this is?"
She didn't say anything explicitly.
Why? Long Wenmu swallowed lightly.
Why? Because there may be another reason for the fog here.
According to legend, wherever the Cloud Hidden Beast appears, there is often heavy fog...
The strange climate, the skeleton of the great demon that may have been swallowed, if these are connected together...
Even if this was just a guess, Long Wenmu felt a little trembling all over.
Is it cannibalism? Could it be that the one who swallowed the corpse of the big monster was another big monster?
No, if it was another big monster, it would be impossible for it to eat this big monster without leaving any traces.
Worse than the Great Demon, and possibly even above that!
Probably not... Could it be that this is...
Qian Lingxue could feel Long Wenmu's fingers trembling slightly, the corners of his eyes were sharp, and his breathing was heavy.
This unintentional performance seems to be both worried and excited about something.
Long Wenmu is a calm person. Most of the time he hides his emotions under the surface. They will emerge on the surface unless he can't control it.
Yu Qiandai trotted back again: "Master Qian Lingxue, Mr. Long, I have reorganized the troops, what should we do now?"
Looking at the surrounding fog that was still thick, Qian Lingxue said: "The corpses of the monsters have disappeared. This foggy mountain is really weird. No matter what, we will retreat outside the foggy mountain first and then think about it. We must not let the team disperse on the way.
Let everyone cheer up."
"Okay." Yu Qiandai replied quickly.
In fact, Qian Lingxue didn't need to say anything, he could feel the creepy coldness himself.
In this atmosphere, Yu Qiandai was unwilling to stay for a long time.
After greeting the team, we were ready to go down the mountain.
Qian Lingxue also greeted Long Wenmu, who was in a daze: "No matter what you are thinking, let's leave Wushan first and then reconsider. There are so many ordinary people in the team, staying here is not a wise choice."
Long Wenmu pondered for a moment, then stepped forward to follow the team.
And just when he was about to leave.
Long Wenmu suddenly sensed something and raised his head suddenly. Qian Lingxue and Yu Qiandai also stamped their feet in unison.
Among the treetops in the distance, a cold wind suddenly blew up, and the dense woods danced wildly in the wind.
"Since Yunxuan Kingdom and Qingyun Castle's Qianlingxue are here, why bother leaving in a hurry?" An uncertain voice echoed in the jungle.
Strong pressure suddenly came, and Qing'er and Yelan, as well as everyone in the Yu family, involuntarily became shorter.
Long Wenmu snorted, feeling as if something extremely heavy was suddenly pressing on his shoulders.
Among all the people, Qian Lingxue is the only one who will not be affected by this pressure.
Enemy attack?
"Who is pretending to be a ghost?" Qian Lingxue yelled, and with a flick of his arm, the same demonic power burst out and enveloped the crowd.
The pressure exerted on the crowd dissipated.
There were countless laughter from all directions.
This laughter seemed to come from the same person, but it came from different directions, making it difficult to catch.
Qian Lingxue's eyes turned around and finally settled in a certain direction.
I saw that on the top of a certain towering tree, the space became distorted, and even the surrounding environment was distorted.
In the center of the twisted space, a figure in black appeared out of nowhere. It was like a master using ink to outline a figure in the air.
Judging from the body shape, he looked like a man, with his face covered by a mask and his hands clasped behind his back. He was obviously standing there, but to everyone, it felt like nothingness like air.
Since that person appeared, five or six more people appeared one after another.
