Chapter 1382: Faceless Corpse

This scream was so sudden that it instantly broke the silence of the night, but it went away so quickly that the whole world returned to silence again in just a moment.

I suddenly opened my eyes, then stood up and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

"It came from the woods."

Mu Yunxi's figure flashed and quickly appeared beside me, with a vigilant look in his eyes.

I nodded. At this time, Wang Wanzhi was also awakened and asked in some doubt: "Brother Qianyu, what happened?"

"Where is Wang Qian's life lamp?" I asked.

"Here." Wang Wanzhi returned to the fire and brought Wang Qian's life lamp over. I squinted my eyes and saw that although Wang Qian's life lamp was burning, the flame was more crooked than before. In particular, the flame was no longer as stable as before, but twisted, pointing in the direction of Lao Lin and jumping non-stop.

"What's going on?" I pointed at the flame and asked Wang Wanzhi.

After seeing the abnormal movement of the flame, Wang Wanzhi's face immediately became ugly, but she did not speak immediately, but squinted her eyes and observed carefully.

After a while, I saw Wang Wanzhi bend her fingers and flicked, and a strand of blood was immediately flicked into the life lamp.

When this strand of blood entered the life lamp, the originally flickering flame immediately twisted, and then the blood floating in the life lamp suddenly surged, and then, it completely swallowed up the blood that Wang Wanzhi had ejected into the life lamp.

"What does this mean?" I looked at Wang Wanzhi and asked.

Wang Wanzhi's face was very ugly. She bit her lip and said, "My brother is in danger. Under normal circumstances, anyone's blood and qi, even blood relatives, will be excluded from the life lamp. But if the owner of the life lamp is in danger, it will devour the blood and qi of blood relatives. This is a signal for help."

After that, Wang Wanzhi looked at me anxiously. Seeing this, I glanced at Mu Yunxi and said, "Don't rest, go see what's going on."

After extinguishing the fire, everyone made some preparations and walked quickly towards the old forest.

At this moment, we were still about a hundred meters away from the old forest, but even so, we could feel the thick corpse gas in the old forest.

Mu Yunxi took a deep breath, then grinned and said, "This corpse smell is much stronger than the last time I came here. It seems that the person in the corpse field should have awakened."

After that, she turned her head and looked at me: "It seems that your trip this time is destined to be unsuccessful."

"Sister Yunxi, you are so stupid, bah, bah, this time it will definitely be smooth." Xiao Qi was unhappy, rolled his eyes at Mu Yunxi, and then turned his

head away with a cold snort. "Yes, yes, I am so stupid, okay." Mu Yunxi touched Xiao Qi's head, then picked up Wang Wanzhi again and quickly flew to the old forest.

Seeing this, I turned around and looked at Lai Fu, and said, "Take good care of Xiao Qi."

After that, I put Xiao Qi on Lai Fu's body, and then the group entered the old forest.

From the outside, this old forest is lush and green, giving people a vibrant scene.

However, when we really entered this old forest, we found that the scene in the forest was very different from what we saw outside.

I saw that many trees and vegetation in the forest had shown signs of dying. Some shrubs seemed to be full of vitality, but the roots had turned yellow. I dug the ground with my hands and found that the roots of these shrubs had rotted.

"Brother Qian Yu, there is blood in the soil." Wang Wanzhi suddenly exclaimed. I walked over to take a look and saw that Wang Wanzhi pulled out a few shrubs, and the roots of the shrubs were stained with a trace of blood.

I squatted down and used the stick to pierce the soil.

When I pulled the stick out, I found that it was stained with blood. When I looked at the soil inside the pit I pierced, the color of the soil had changed. The yellow was mixed with a lot of blood.

"It looks like this place has been greatly affected." Mu Yunxi sniffed the soil and said, "The smell of corpses mixed with the evil spirit has polluted the land here. Logically, this place should have become a dead land, but why can these plants still maintain vitality?"

This old forest is indeed strange. Not only is it filled with thick corpse smell and evil spirit, but it is also filled with a smell of decay. It feels as if these seemingly vibrant trees and vegetation have already decayed.

And this is just the outer perimeter of the old forest. What should the interior of the old forest look like?

I turned my head to look at the life lamp held by Wang Wanzhi, and then I found that the jumping flame was tilting to the southwest, and the tilting arc was very large.

"My brother is in this old forest, and he is very close to us." Wang Wanzhi said.

I nodded and said, "Let's go."

After that, the group quickly walked forward according to the guidance of the life lamp.

As the group walked deeper and deeper, the vegetation and trees in the old forest became denser, but there was one thing that was very strange, that is, this forest was too quiet, so quiet, as if there was no life at all, not even the sound of insects.

After walking for about half an hour, I suddenly frowned because I smelled a hint of blood in the thick corpse odor.

The smell of corpses and murder here was so strong that everyone's five senses were seriously affected, but even so, I still caught a trace of bloody smell, and the source of the smell was near us.

"There are traces of someone passing by here." Wang Wanzhi suddenly pointed to the broken bushes on the side and said.

I walked over to take a look, and immediately found that these broken bushes were broken in one direction. Obviously, someone had passed by here, and walked very quickly and in a panic.

"Woof woof..." Lai Fu on the side suddenly growled. I turned around and looked at Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi said, "Lai Fu said that someone who passed by here was injured, and the injury was very serious. He went in that direction."

"Lai Fu lead the way!"

After hearing what I said, Lai Fu ran out directly, and everyone hurried to follow. After walking through the old forest for about 20 minutes, Lai Fu suddenly stopped, bared his teeth, and growled at the bushes in front.

"You have something in the bushes!" Xiao Qi said.

Hearing this, everyone stopped, and after Mu Yunxi and I looked at each other, we flashed and quickly appeared in the bushes.

However, when Mu Yunxi and I appeared in the bushes and saw the scene inside the bushes clearly, we were all shocked.

Because, what appeared in the bushes was actually a corpse!

A very miserable corpse, with the skin all peeled off and blood all over the body!
