Ye Xiao frowned and his expression suddenly became serious. Seeing this, Qu Wuyan shrank his neck and took a deep breath again.
"Is this the smell of blood?"
Subconsciously, Qu Wuyan also frowned and took another deep breath for final confirmation.
At this time, there was a smell of blood floating in the air around the two people. Although the smell of blood was very faint, you could smell it as long as you concentrated.
"Although we don't know where the bloody smell comes from, at least what we smell is not too strong now, so it should be still a long way away from us, but just in case, we'd better be cautious."
Seeing Qu Wuyan's thoughtful expression, Ye Xiao reminded him, and then the two of them continued walking deeper into the forest.
As the two of them went deeper, the smell of blood in the air began to become thicker. At the same time, a pungent odor was mixed in, making both of them retching.
"Damn it, uncle, what on earth is this smell like? The smell is so strong!"
The palm of his hand moved back and forth in front of his mouth and nose twice, and Qu Wuyan showed an extremely disgusted face.
"If you feel it's too smelly, you can breathe in through your mouth?" Ye Xiao, who was walking in front, rolled his eyes at Qu Wuyan, drank in a low voice, and then covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves.
At this time, the Destruction Spirit Ring in his hand suddenly flashed with a spiritual light. Ye Xiao naturally penetrated a ray of consciousness and found that Shangguan Rou had woken up from his slumber.
Even Qu Wuyan and I couldn't stand this fishy smell. Rou'er, as a woman, might have vomited non-stop and fainted if she smelled it.
Originally, he wanted to release Shangguan Rou from the spiritual ring, but after considering the situation in front of him, Ye Xiao immediately gave up this idea.
Although in the spiritual ring, the World-Destroying Heavenly Lord was absorbing the energy of refining the spiritual Kun and could not be disturbed by outsiders, in Ye Xiao's view, Shangguan Rou was intelligent by nature and was more aware of words and expressions, so he would not be ignorant enough to disturb the World-Destroying Heavenly Lord.
"Brother Xiao, in my opinion, it really doesn't work. Let's go in another direction. This fishy smell almost makes me suffocate!"
Behind him, Qu Wuyan tugged on the corner of Ye Xiao's clothes and whispered, his eyes were bloodshot, as if he was deliberately holding back the smelly smell not wanting to inhale more.
"Shh!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xiao turned around and silenced him. At the same time, he pointed a finger at the bushes in front of him, asking Qu Wuyan to step forward to inspect.
Unexpectedly, I didn’t know this, and I was shocked when I saw it.
Looking along the depth of the trees pointed by Ye Xiao's finger, Qu Wuyan's face suddenly showed an extremely frightened expression. After his chest had been suppressed for a long time, he was frightened again due to the influence of his desire to survive.
He took a deep breath unconsciously.
As the fishy smell invaded his lungs instantly, Qu Wuyan's eyes raised upwards and suddenly turned pale. If Ye Xiao hadn't pinched his thigh hard and stimulated Qu Wuyan to wake up with pain, he would have been like that just now
One bite, and there was a faint tendency to send him to the afterlife.
"call!"
After his eyes returned to clarity through practice, Qu Wuyan exhaled a breath of fearful breath, adjusted his posture a little, and then looked deep into the trees again.
They saw an open space spread out deep in the trees directly in front of the two people. On this open space was the corpse of a ferocious beast as big as a hill.
The corpse of the ferocious beast was bloody and bloody, with rotten holes on the surface. In these holes, there were maggots as big as calves squirming and crawling slowly. Ye Xiao and Qu Wuyan were disgusted by the sight.
The scalp feels numb.
After all, Qu Wuyan, a native of the Void Spirit Realm, had never seen such a big maggot, let alone Ye Xiao.
As for the dead ferocious beast, although it has begun to rot, its general shape can still be seen. This ferocious beast is covered in golden fur, with a pair of golden horns on its head that look like horns. It looks like a tiger and has a bloody mouth.
It has teeth, but it does not have the markings on its head and body that only tigers have.
However, what frightened Ye Xiao and Qu Wuyan the most was not just that. On top of the giant beast's corpse, beasts covered in black and white spots that looked very much like giant leopards were jumping up and down.
, using the sharp fangs in its mouth to tear off pieces of carrion from the giant beast.
These wild beasts had bright eyes and feasted on the corpse of the giant beast. Anyway, they would not let go of anything on the corpse of the giant beast, as long as they could eat it.
Even the maggots crawling on the corpses of giant beasts are eaten without mercy. It's just that maybe maggots are disgusting in nature and have soft bodies. These leopard beasts don't like to eat them very much, and they often eat them.
After biting off the entire head and sucking out the essence inside the maggot, the shriveled corpse of the maggot was left to dry.
I don’t know if he was born to be able to eat. Even though his belly was full, he still kept chewing in his mouth, as if he wanted to eat himself to death.
Moreover, these beasts not only eat an astonishing amount of food, but also are numerous in number. Not to mention the backs of the corpses of the giant beasts that Ye Xiao and Qu Wuyan cannot see, there are more than ten that can be seen in front of their eyes.
"Oh my God! They are really lucky. The corpses of the giant beasts have rotted like this, and they can still go down... vomit!"
Under the cover of the trees, Qu Wuyan saw the wild beast feasting on its food. Before Qu Wuyan could finish his words, he suddenly felt sick and started to vomit without turning his head.
"Can you be of some use? We are not far away from them now. If you want to vomit, please make the noise smaller for me. If those beasts find out, it will be enough for us to eat a pot!"
Seeing Qu Wuyan vomiting out the jaundice water, Ye Xiao immediately said rudely. Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, he turned his head and saw the scene of the beast biting off the head of the maggot and then the juice exploded. Suddenly, he couldn't hold it back anymore.
He turned sideways and vomited wildly.
Fortunately, the noise of the two people vomiting was not too loud, and the maggots on the giant beast's corpse were noisy, so the brutal beast did not notice the presence of the two.
"vomit!"
After a long time, the two of them gradually recovered after there was nothing left in their stomachs to vomit. However, when they saw the maggots wriggling on the corpse of the giant beast, they still inevitably felt sick.
"Almost done!"
Ye Xiao wiped away the remaining bitter bile from his mouth and gently patted Qu Wuyan's back a few times with his hand, and the latter regained his composure a little.
"What on earth is this dead giant beast? It's so huge, and what are those beasts jumping up and down on his body? Why does it feel like it can never have enough to eat?"
Perhaps he was starting to get used to it. Looking at the corpse of the giant beast again, Ye Xiao no longer felt as disgusted as at the beginning.
"Looking at its size and appearance, as well as the two golden horns on its head, this giant beast is very imaginary with the strange beasts and giant pigs from ancient times! As for the beasts next to its body, they also look like the beasts recorded in ancient classics.
pole."
Beside, Qu Wuyan, who had recovered somewhat, slowly spoke.
"Giant Pig? Meng Ji?"
Ye Xiao frowned and listened carefully to Qu Wuyan's words, and after Qu Wuyan's explanation, he also understood.
This is the ruins of the ancient gods, and most of the strange beasts and ferocious beasts that exist in this place are also ancient things. Therefore, in his opinion, the corpses of the giant beasts and the many beasts that are hungry are undoubtedly the giant pigs and Meng Ji.
.
According to Qu Wuyan, this giant pig is a ferocious beast from ancient times, similar to today's tigers, so it looks like a tiger, but its size and strength are much larger than today's tigers.
.
Among the exotic animals in the world, tigers are the masters of killing. In ancient times, giant pigs also had the same connotation. Therefore, the practitioners at that time were also willing to adopt giant pigs as mounts and raise them. There were many ancient gods with hands and eyes that could reach the sky.
At the same time, this giant pig is born with the ability to draw thunder and lightning, and it can also absorb the power of thunder and lightning into the body and use it for its own use. Thunder and lightning are one of the punishment types in the rules of heaven and earth. With the blessing of thunder and lightning, the giant pig's murderous aura is even more powerful.
It's a bit richer.
Legend has it that in ancient times, an adult giant pig raised its head to the sky and roared, and the surging power of thunder and lightning poured out of its body. It was so powerful that it leveled tens of thousands of mountains and evaporated thousands of rivers in an instant.
If the opportunity is perfect and the Tianbao is obtained, he can transform into a human and evolve into a more advanced existence, and his strength can even rival some ancient gods.
But Ye Xiao couldn't figure out how such a famous giant pig could die here and be eaten by a group of Meng Ji.
As for the group of Mengji who ate the corpses of giant pigs, although their status and strength could not be compared with those of giant pigs, they were also one of the most numerous beasts in ancient times, and they were also the daily rations of many giant beasts. Of course,
Giant pigs are also one of the giant beasts that prey on them.
Although the Meng Ji beast is ordinary, the strength of the adult Meng Ji can only compete with those in the ordinary realm of transformation. If you only encounter one, there will be no danger.
But what gives many cultivators a headache is that although the Meng Ji beast is very weak, it is very good at group activities, and a Meng Ji beast group is based on hundreds as the basic unit at least. If the number is large, it can even reach up to
Tens of millions.
With such a huge number, if they were encountered by ancient gods, it would be a good thing. They could all be wiped out with a raise of their hands. If they were encountered by ordinary cultivators, they would inevitably experience a fight, and whether they would survive in the end was unclear.
Still an unknown number.
Precisely because the Mengji beast is good at group activities, many of the giant beasts that feed on it will not confront them head-on. Instead, they use their strength to intimidate and threaten them. Once they find a lone Mengji beast, they will attack decisively.
It's just a pity that the giant pig that was supposed to feed on the Mengji Beast ended up being eaten by its own prey. Thinking of this, Ye Xiao couldn't help but think of an old saying, always floating around in the rivers and lakes, how can there be anything?
If you don't get stabbed, you will have to pay it back sooner or later. This dead giant pig is the most direct example.
There's just one thing, Ye Xiao still doesn't understand. It's simply impossible to kill the giant pig based on the few Mengji beasts in front of him. And judging from the degree of decay of the giant pig, it's already dead.
long time.
Combining all these factors, Ye Xiao couldn't help but make a bold guess, that is, in this Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts, there is something more terrifying and powerful than the giant pig!
