The man said, "Has anyone seen Ah Liang? He just said he was going out to relieve himself, and then I heard him calling, 'Ah Liang~ Ah Liang~ Ah Liang, where are you?'"
The shout woke up everyone, whether they were asleep or still awake. After hearing what the person said, everyone became worried about their companion named Ah Liang and set out to search for him.
Old Wu, looking worried, held up his flashlight and said, "Ah Liang! Ah Liang! Let's go, let's all go look for him and see if that kid has run into trouble or where he went."
Ah Liang is one of Lao Wu's men, so Lao Wu is also very worried that something might happen to the people he brought.
Uncle Zhao and Lao Hei have already sent their men to help look for people, while Jiang Yan, Yue Jiu Nian, and the others have been arranged to stay at the entrance of the tent, where they are watched over by the fat man.
No one dared to split up too much, so they searched in groups of two or three. However, they didn't search for long because someone soon found Ah Liang. But finding him or not finding him made no difference, because Ah Liang was already dead.
Yue Jiu Nian could smell the stench of blood from afar. Her vision was excellent in the darkness, and she saw a mangled corpse lying on a grassy field not far from them. The corpse belonged to one of their team members.
Old Hei shone his flashlight on the corpse, his face grave and sorrowful as he asked, "What happened to him? Why was he bitten like this? Did you see anything when you came over?"
The first person to discover Ah Liang's body was one of Uncle Zhao's men. He shone his flashlight on the body and said, "When I came over, I thought I saw something, but that thing was very wary. As soon as I shone my flashlight on it, it ran away, so I couldn't see what it was. But judging from its size, it didn't look very big. It just ran too fast to see what it was."
Ah Liang's body looked like it had been torn apart by something. His head and face were covered in blood, and his stomach was also torn open, with his intestines and other parts spilling out. Some parts were even incomplete, as if they had been eaten.
Old Wu frowned as he looked at Ah Liang's terrified and unseeing expression, and sighed deeply, saying, "Let's bury it first, otherwise that thing will probably come back to eat it after we leave."
The people following behind him happened to have tools in their hands, so they dug a hole for Ah Liang on the spot and buried the body there.
On the way back, everyone was in a heavy mood. Lao Hei told them, "From now on, don't go out alone, and don't go too far."
Yue Jiuzai and Yue Jiunian had already witnessed the entire process of burying the body and returned to their tent. Yue Jiunian lay on the ground, chewing on a blade of grass, and said, "Guess what bit him?"
Yue Jiuzai shook his head and shrugged, saying, "I don't know, but I heard from that person that it ran away as soon as the flashlight was shone on it. Do you think that thing might be afraid of light? Otherwise, why didn't it just attack the tent? You know there are even more people inside the tent."
Yue Jiu couldn't guess what had attacked Ah Liang, but she could tell it wasn't anything good, because its eating habits were truly disgusting.
"Forget it, let's not worry about it for now. As long as it doesn't attack us on its own initiative, that's fine," Yue Jiu thought for a moment, then crossed her arms and said, "Hey, by the way, did you see Jiang Yan's face just now? The death aura on his face has receded by more than half. Before he went to sleep, his face was full of death aura, but I just saw that it had receded by more than half."
"He retreated by more than half? No way, could it be that his fate was altered? Was it because of our appearance that it was altered, or was it altered after Ah Liang died?"
Yue Jiuzai was also full of surprise. When they decided to come here, they planned to rescue Jiang Yan. However, even after they had been with this group for so long, the death aura on Jiang Yan's face was still so strong. They never expected that after Ah Liang died tonight, the death aura would actually recede by half.
Yue Jiu thought to herself, "Tsk tsk~ Could it be that it's really because Ah Liang died that his death aura dissipated? Or did our arrival change his fate?"
"I don't know, but it's good that he withdrew; at least the chances of him dying have been greatly reduced."
Yue Jiuzai was quite pleased that Jiang Yan's death aura had receded by half.
