Seeing everyone die so mysteriously, everyone panicked.
The key point is that there wasn't a single wound on their bodies!
Someone squatted down beside the corpses and reached out to examine their bodies: "They weren't poisoned... Hmm, it's like their life essence has been drained?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Ma Huang. Ma Huang was startled and hurriedly waved his hand, saying, "It has nothing to do with me. Many people can testify that I was here the whole time and didn't have a chance to make a move."
Prince Silver Shark also said, "I can testify to this. I was watching him closely, and he definitely didn't make a move."
Having just witnessed him suck the giant crocodile dry, and with wounds on his own body, he was worried that the other party might have malicious intentions towards him, so he had been on guard the whole time. Unexpectedly, he ended up becoming a witness for him.
He regretted it as soon as he said it. He should have gone with the flow and gotten rid of this dangerous guy. Not only would he not have to worry, but there would also be one less person to share the treasure later.
Unfortunately, once the words are spoken, there's no going back.
Fortunately, someone else raised a question at this time: "Even if it wasn't him, there might be his clansmen hiding in the shadows, otherwise who could have sucked their life essence?"
Upon hearing this, everyone brandished their weapons at Ma Huang, while warily eyeing the unfamiliar people around them.
Everyone is afraid of becoming the next victim, so they would rather kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.
Ma Huang's expression changed drastically: "Do you think I'm afraid of you?!"
He had roamed the world with an unbridled spirit, and had never suffered such humiliation before. He drew his weapon, ready to retaliate at any moment, and the two sides were on the verge of clash.
"In times of crisis, it is often people's hearts that are thrown into chaos first. I didn't expect the demon race to be the same." Yun Jianyue's lips curled into a sneer as she detachedly appraised the situation. The danger before her was indeed somewhat eerie, but it did not frighten her.
Yan Xuehen also watched coldly. After all, they were Grandmasters with extraordinary eyesight and had already figured out what was going on. But these guys were demons, so there was no need to worry about them.
Just then, Princess Soren stepped forward: "Everyone, don't be impulsive. After being drained of their life essence by vampires, their entire body will turn into a dried-up corpse. But look at these corpses, their skin is intact, and they look no different from when they were alive. It's just that the life essence in their bodies has withered beyond recognition."
Everyone nodded in agreement; it certainly didn't seem like the methods of vampires.
"What is this?" Princess Soren's gaze suddenly sharpened.
Following the direction she was pointing, everyone noticed tiny green shoots, like mung bean sprouts, emerging from the ears of the corpses.
"There are some here too!" the others exclaimed in surprise. They discovered that, apart from the ears, tiny saplings were sprouting from the nostrils, mouths, eyes, and even the tops of the corpses' heads. The leaves were a bright green, and although they were small and tender, no one dared to underestimate them.
"They weren't here just now!" At this moment, someone cut open the clothes of the corpses and found that the skin on their bodies had also broken open in many places, and dense green shoots were emerging from their bodies.
It turns out that these saplings had drained them of all their life essence!
"Why would they have such a sapling inside their bodies?" Everyone had this question.
"Could they have been poisoned before?" someone suggested.
"Many of them don't know each other, so why are they all poisoned by the same kind of virus?"
At this moment, someone said timidly, "Don't you guys think that the leaves of these saplings look... a lot like the leaves of these big trees next to them?"
Upon closer inspection, everyone realized that, as expected, although it was much smaller, its shape and texture were exactly the same.
Everyone was terrified; it turned out the poison was under these trees!
Looking again at the dense forest around them, a chilling thought suddenly rose in their minds: With so many trees, could there be a victim under every single one?
Could these people be the next batch?
A group of people were discussing it, completely baffled as to how the trees could have been poisoned.
"It's not poison, but the seeds. These trees scatter their seeds everywhere in the air. These seeds are extremely small, and with the cover of the thick fog, they are hard to notice," Yun Jianyue explained to Zu An and the others. "As long as you have enough cultivation to protect your body with your vital energy, or have a protective magic treasure to shield yourself from all dust, you will be safe and sound."
Each of them possessed profound knowledge and numerous magical treasures. Coupled with their formidable strength, the seeds seemed to know they were not to be trifled with and refrained from harassing them.
People nearby overheard their conversation, and the news spread like wildfire until everyone finally understood what was going on.
Many people glanced at her in surprise, originally thinking she was a concubine brought out by a rich young master, but they didn't expect her to have such knowledge.
Those who had magical treasures used them, while those who didn't burned their elemental energy, preventing the surrounding seeds from approaching them.
Some people, worried that they had inhaled the seeds, hurriedly used their internal energy to expel the impurities from their bodies, and sure enough, they actually found them.
Those with high skill levels quickly used secret techniques to remove the seeds that had taken root and sprouted within their bodies, while those with weaker skill levels had no choice but to struggle on. In the end, they could not overcome the tenacious vitality of those seeds, and were completely drained, with tree buds bursting from their skin, and died tragically on the spot.
The other demons showed no intention of helping. The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, was ingrained in everyone's bones; they had no concept of friendship or mutual assistance.
Going out to search for treasure is inherently risking your life; losing your life is perfectly normal. Besides, it can also filter out some competitors, so why not?
Having found the culprit, some people were still furious and decided to take their anger out on the big trees. They brandished their weapons, trying to cut them down. You have to know how strong cultivators are; cutting down a tree would be easy for them.
