Li Qing said in a deep voice, "Don't rush, let's search around here first."

Since Dahei told him that the scents would eventually disappear here, he decided to start searching around Dahei. With that in mind, Li Qing began searching around Dahei.

Since Dahei brought them to this place, there must be traces left by the tribe here. As long as we calm down and search, we will definitely be able to find clues.

Li Qing squatted down and picked up a piece of soil with his hand.

The soil was very soft, just like the feeling when Li Qing stepped on it.

This kind of soil easily leaves footprints; if no footprints are left, there is only one possibility.

Li Qing looked up at the sky. It had rained here not long ago, and the footprints were most likely washed away by the rain.

After thinking for a moment, Li Qing brought the soil to his nose, wanting to smell it.

Li walked over to Li Qing and asked, "So, did you find anything?"

Li Qing frowned and shook his head, but just then, he suddenly smelled a fishy smell coming from the soil!

This is clearly... the smell of blood!

Seeing Li Qing's expression change drastically, Li immediately followed Li Qing's example, grabbing a handful of soil and smelling it.

Immediately, his face turned just as bad as Li Qing's!

Gritting his teeth, Li Qing held the basin of soil in front of Dahei and said, "Is this the smell you're experiencing?"

I thought Dahei would nod, but after sniffing the air, Dahei shook its head very decisively, like a rattle drum.

"Isn't that so?"

Upon learning this information, Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

This at least proves that the shamans are much safer than they expected.

But it would be even stranger if the blood came from other people or other creatures.

Where are the shamans now? Why did Dahei bring them to this place?

Li Qing looked at Li, and both of them noticed something strange in each other's eyes.

Sighing, even though the pressure on the two of them was immense, Li Qing didn't want those around him to feel it, so he stood up, trying to appear cheerful, and said with a smile, "We've all been walking for so long, let's take a rest first."

The group exchanged glances, and the few who were smarter knew that these were words of comfort. They responded with a murmur and then sat down with heavy hearts, looking at each other, lost in thought.

Faced with this situation, Li Qing had no choice but to take a deep breath and exchange a helpless, bitter smile with Li Xiang.

“Let’s keep looking. Just like Pan said, Dahei wouldn’t lie to us. Jiewu and the others must be around here. How could they just disappear?” Li Qing said with a wry smile. “Also, Dahei, you should help us look too.”

After saying this, Li Qing and Li, dragging their heavy bodies, were about to stand up and expand the search area when Hu Tun hurriedly ran over.

"Blood, there's blood!" Hu Tun exclaimed, pointing in the direction he had run from. "I see so much blood!"

After carefully examining Hu Tun and seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Li Qing suddenly stood up and said, "Okay, take me to see him quickly."

Soon, Hu Tun led the two to an open space. When they saw the color of the open space, Li Qing and Li both gasped in surprise. The ground was wet and had a faint, almost imperceptible dark red hue, which was quite unsettling.

He grabbed a handful of soil, but before he could even smell it, an extremely strong stench of blood assaulted his nostrils. The smell was much stronger than before, and Li Qing couldn't stand it. He immediately threw the handful of soil on the ground and yelled, "Where did all this blood come from?!"

Hu Tun shuddered in fright at Li Qing's fierce appearance.

"...It has nothing to do with you, I'm not angry with you."

Hu Tun hurriedly gave an awkward chuckle.

"Hey, Li," Li Qing said, feeling a bit better after venting his anger. He circled the patch of soil as he spoke, "What do you think happened here? How come there's so much blood? Although I just confirmed with Dahei that there's no smell of the Jiewu here, this bloodstain is still a bit too unusual."

Li agreed, saying, "I've never smelled blood this bad before. It smells almost like an entire tribe of warriors has died!"

"Then why did they all die together?" Li Qing asked again. "They weren't stupid; they had hands and feet. Faced with such a natural disaster, what could have prevented them from escaping and caused them all to die in this place?"

Woof! Woof!

"What's wrong?"

Li Qing suddenly heard Dahei barking urgently, so he quickly ran to Dahei and asked.

"Wheat, has Big Black found anything this time?"

Pan asked.

Li Qing pondered for a moment, then said in a tone that he himself could hardly believe, "Dahei said that it was ahead again and smelled the scent of the Jiewu."

"What? Are you saying that Dahei made a misjudgment?" Pan said incredulously. "That's impossible. Dahei is a ferocious beast. It would never make such a mistake."

Li Qing was also very puzzled. Pan was absolutely right. How could Dahei, who was so smart, make a misjudgment? He looked at Dahei in confusion.

Big Black looked at Li Qing with its innocent-looking big eyes.

“Wait a minute, Wheat,” Li said, “could it be that the smell of blood here is too strong, and with so much blood mixed together, it has caused Dahei’s sense of smell to be distorted?”

Li Qing said, "I don't know. Anyway, let's go with Dahei and take a look!"

at the same time.
