"Brother Lu Xuan, there's blood all over here too. It smells terrible..."
Soon, Taylor also found bloodstains in the grass on his side.
Lu Xuan carefully examined the mottled bloodstains in the grass, and an ominous premonition quietly crept into his heart.
The most frightening thing is that the shocking crimson color seems to have life, and is slowly extending to the low-lying areas in the north, like a ghost lurking in the dark night, silently telling of unknown fear and anxiety.
"Lu Xuan, there's... there's... a corpse here."
The first person to notice something was wrong was Leng Mengyao. The girl covered her mouth and nose lightly, raised her slender finger slightly, and pointed to the south. Then, as if pulled by an invisible force, she involuntarily took a few steps back.
"A body?"
Lu Xuan muttered to himself, but countless scenes popped up in his mind.
Deep in the dark jungle, there is an abandoned, nameless corpse; under the moonlight, there is a pale and distorted face; and there is a silent cry for help, forever echoing in the empty night... These images are intertwined to form a series of chilling pictures.
"All of you, stand back!"
Lu Xuan keenly caught the subtle changes in Leng Mengyao's expression. Obviously, the tragic state of the corpse was enough to make anyone's stomach churn.
In their small team of three, Leng Mengyao, as a woman, was naturally weak, while Taylor was still a young boy with childishness. Faced with such an uncomfortable situation, Lu Xuan naturally stepped forward and took the brunt of it.
Arranging the two behind him, Lu Xuan, holding a flashlight, slowly approached the direction Leng Mengyao pointed.
Sure enough, there was a corpse in the jungle, or more accurately, a headless corpse. The neck was cut by a sharp weapon. Although the knife edge was neat, a large amount of blood was still oozing out because the aorta was severed. The scene was so horrific that it was beyond words.
Out of instinct, Lu Xuan reflexively wanted to avoid looking directly at the headless corpse, but he forced himself to take a deep breath, calm his mind, slowly squatted down, and began to carefully examine the various characteristics of the corpse.
The corpse's clothes were ragged and stained, clearly a male. His broad frame suggested a robust pre-natal life, but now, his shrunken muscles and protruding ribs revealed the torment of hunger he had endured.
When he saw the man's slightly twisted right hand, Lu Xuan seemed to guess who the body belonged to.
"Brother Lu...Brother Lu Xuan...Boss, boss..."
At the same time, Taylor, who had been standing behind him and watching, pointed two or three meters to the left of Lu Xuan and said a chilling word in an almost trembling voice.
Lu Xuan directed the flashlight beam to the left front of him.
Then, a familiar yet slightly unfamiliar face came into Lu Xuan's sight.
The fat pig's appearance now exuded a ferocious and terrifying aura. The most striking thing was its face. Its eyes were bulging, seemingly popping out of their sockets, and its pale complexion added a touch of eeriness. Even more eerie was the head standing there alone, with nothing around it, appearing particularly abrupt and terrifying.
"call……"
Lu Xuan really didn't want to stare at this creepy head any longer, so after looking at it for three seconds, he withdrew his gaze, stood up again, and let out a long sigh.
"It was a fat pig. Someone chopped off its head with a sharp blade. The method was brutal. It was most likely that Oriental woman."
Lu Xuan was very familiar with this technique, so he came to the conclusion without thinking too much.
Leng Mengyao and Taylor were obviously frightened by the scene. They both turned their heads away and did not dare to look straight ahead.
"I want to go a little further and see if I can find some clues. Can you guys keep going forward? If not, go back and meet up with Shen Keyin and the others, then go back to the cave and wait for me."
Although even Lu Xuan felt a little nauseous at this time, after taking a few deep breaths, Lu Xuan decided to walk further south. He always felt that he could still find some clues.
"No...it's okay, Brother Lu Xuan, I...I can do it."
Taylor also slowed down for a few beats, then straightened his back again and nodded firmly at Lu Xuan.
"I...I'm fine too."
Although Leng Mengyao looked unhappy, he still tried hard to nod at Lu Xuan.
"Then let's go, follow me closely."
Lu Xuan didn't say much. He took the two of them around the corpse and continued to walk south.
The good news was that as we moved away from the corpse, the unpleasant smell of blood gradually disappeared, replaced by the unique fresh scent of the deep jungle.
"Brother Lu Xuan, there seem to be footprints here."
Although Taylor and Leng Mengyao fell behind Lu Xuan, they observed very carefully and soon found the footprints that had disappeared for a while.
"Lu Xuan, these must be the footprints of those people. There should be just two people. The terrain here is low and the soil is a bit muddy, so the footprints are very clear."
After hearing what Taylor said, Leng Mengyao immediately squatted down and observed carefully, and then came to a conclusion.
"Let's go, keep heading south. If we see torches, we'll definitely catch them."
Lu Xuan's hatred for the Japanese woman was deep in his bones. He didn't sympathize with the fat pig. The man had betrayed him many times, so there was nothing to sympathize with. He just felt that the Japanese woman regarded life as worthless and her killing methods were extremely cruel. She should go to the eighteenth level of hell.
If he were to catch up with her today, Lu Xuan would shoot her head and that black heart three times without mercy.
"Lu Xuan, this way..."
The three of them continued to walk south for another hundred meters, and Leng Mengyao guided them by carefully observing the footprints on the ground.
What made Lu Xuan a little anxious was that although the three of them were moving forward quite quickly, they still didn't see the fire that they had been looking forward to for a long time.
"Lu Xuan, wait..."
Just as the three of them continued to move forward several hundred meters south, Leng Mengyao suddenly called out to them.
"What's going on? Did you find anything?"
Lu Xuan turned around and frowned as he looked at Leng Mengyao who was half-squatting on the ground examining the footprints.
"Lu Xuan... the footprints here seem to be forked?"
"Bifurcation? What does that mean?"
After hearing this, Lu Xuan also took a few steps back, squatted down, and carefully examined the footprints on the ground.
Just as Leng Mengyao said, after reaching this place, one pair of footprints continued to move south, while the other turned east.
Now, Lu Xuan was also a little confused...
Where should I go?
