While everyone's attention was drawn to Nightfin's corpse, Shen Qian approached the blurry statue.
He touched the carving marks and could feel that the carving was very rough and there were many flaws. He felt that it must have been carved by an amateur who was not good at this kind of work.
In addition, there are many fine, strange scratches on the statue.
For some reason, looking at those scratches made Shen Qian feel very uncomfortable.
Shen Qian's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he squatted down, digging away the soil at the bottom. There, on the base of the stone sculpture, was a line of crooked red characters.
"I long for you, but cannot see you; this sorrow will never end!"
As Shen Qian stared at the ten small characters that seemed to flow like blood, a strange chill ran through his heart, and the system seemed to stir as well.
"It should be a Tier T Nightfin, but something's strange. It doesn't seem to have died in a battle between demonic beasts. It's more likely that another martial artist pierced its heart with a sharp weapon..."
Yang Ni stood up and said with a serious expression.
"But if it were other martial artists, why would they use lethal force, and then not take the body with them afterward?"
Upon hearing that it was likely a human warrior, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Yuan You raised her own doubts.
"That's right. Putting everything else aside, the Nightfin's wings alone are worth over a million. Who could ignore that?"
Du Qiu nodded in agreement.
Even the richest person wouldn't easily overlook a million-dollar sum, not to mention that the Nightfin's wings are almost weightless and easy to carry.
Shen Qian stood up, closed his eyes briefly, and then began to perceive and observe everything here from a different perspective.
About ten seconds later, Shen Qian spoke, directly interrupting everyone's discussion, "There are other corpses here."
"What?"
He Weichen and the others turned their heads in astonishment.
He remained silent, then leaped forward, arriving several meters away, and kicked away a boulder nearly two meters in diameter.
The boulder rolled down, revealing another monster corpse buried underneath.
Shen Qian kept moving and soon found two more monster corpses covered by weeds and mud around the area.
Yang Ni and Yuan You were the first to react and quickly went forward to check.
"A U-level monster, the Black-faced Sheep, and two V-level Shadow Rabbits."
"The cause of death is 80% similar to that of Nightfin..."
Yuan You and Yang Ni quickly reached their conclusions.
"What exactly happened here?" Gu Yungao frowned. "Could it be that some martial artist from the Mountain and Sea Realm passed by and killed them on a whim?"
"If they're just passing by, do you think these monsters have the courage to stop the mountains and seas?" Du Qiu shook his head.
While everyone was discussing heatedly, Yuan Youmei's eyes turned and then fixed on Shen Qian.
"How...did you discover the tracks of these demonic beasts?"
Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this, and then they realized, "That's right, even He Weichen, a professional scout, hadn't noticed anything just now..."
How was it discovered before it sank?
