Chapter 1383 Footsteps in the Dark

After seeing this corpse, both Mu Yunxi and I were shocked, and a solemn look appeared in our eyes.

In fact, the appearance of this corpse was too miserable.

I saw that the bushes around the place where this man was were all broken, and there were large patches of blood on the ground and the bushes.

Obviously, this man suffered great pain before his death, and he died after a fierce struggle.

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that this man’s entire face was peeled off, and his gums were exposed. His mouth was wide open, as if he was roaring silently.

And the empty eye sockets added a bit of viciousness and horror to him!

"Ah!"

Wang Wanzhi, who had just walked in, was shocked by the tragic scene in front of her and screamed. She subconsciously shrank back. Seeing this, Mu Yunxi grinned and said, "Your brother's life lamp is still burning, which means this person is definitely not your brother. What did you scream?"

"I, I didn't scream!" Wang Wanzhi blushed and said embarrassedly. Then she held Wang Qian's life lamp and walked quickly to the body. The

body looked extremely miserable. When she got closer, she found that not only the skin was stripped off, but also the scalp was stripped off. The eye sockets were empty, which should have been dug out.

Wang Wanzhi suppressed her physiological urge to vomit, turned the body over, then rolled up the sleeves and began to examine it.

The next second, I saw Wang Wanzhi's face change, she bit her lip and said, "He is from the main branch of my Wang family. I recognize this tattoo. His name is Wang Ping. According to seniority, I should call him cousin."

Wang Wanzhi's eyes were red, and she bit her lip and continued, "I want to take his body back. I can't let the bodies of my Wang family be exposed in the wilderness."

I shook my head when I saw this, then stepped forward, patted her shoulder, and said, "I am sorry for my condolences. Please bury the body here first, and take it back when your family comes to pick you up."

In this desolate mountain and ridge, there is no telling what strange things we will encounter soon, so there is no way we will have time to deal with this body.

Although Wang Wanzhi was inexperienced and had not yet experienced the martial arts world, she was a girl from the Wang family after all, so she naturally understood the importance of things. After hearing what I said, she nodded, then drew her sword and began to dig a pit on the side.

"Why bother?" Seeing this, Mu Yunxi stepped forward, raised his foot, and stomped lightly on the ground.

A muffled sound came out, and then, a crack appeared in the wet ground under his feet. Wang Wanzhi sent the body into the crack. Mu Yunxi stomped his foot again, and the whole body was completely buried.

Looking at the body being gradually buried, a solemn expression appeared in my expression.

"His fatal wound was a penetrating wound on his chest. He must have been stabbed to death by a sharp weapon, but why did he peel off his face? Moreover, from the traces left by this person, it seems that he did not run out from the deep forest, but ran from the outer edge of the forest to the deep forest. What is going on?" When

a normal person encounters danger, the first reaction is definitely to escape from the dangerous place.

But this Wang Ping actually chose to run deep into the forest, which obviously violates common sense.

"Could it be that the danger comes from outside the old forest, or from the outer edge of the old forest?"

I squinted my eyes and looked around, but the surroundings were too quiet, so quiet, as if isolated from the world, without a single sound.

But I know that the greatest danger is often hidden under the silence. In the darkness, there must be something strange hidden. Maybe it is secretly watching us at this moment.

"Let's go." I retracted my gaze, took a deep breath, and turned around to continue walking into the depths of the old forest.

This time, I did not let Xiao Qi continue to follow Lai Fu. Instead, I picked up Xiao Qi and put him on my shoulders, and then let Lai Fu lead the way.

Lai Fu did not show too much dissatisfaction about this. Instead, he did not let him hold Xiao Qi, which made his expression aggrieved.

Nothing unusual happened along the way. After continuing to go deeper for two hours, we have gradually entered the depths of the old forest, but there is still some distance from the center.

"It will be dawn in a few hours. I suggest we rest here and continue our journey after dawn." I whispered.

Mu Yunxi and I were fine, but Wang Wanzhi was tired because she had to hold Wang Qian's life lamp and had not rested all night and had been walking in the mountains for so long. After hearing what I said, she put the life lamp on the ground, sat down on the ground, took off her shoes, and began to rub her feet.

"Hey, such a delicate little foot, it's all blistered. Come, let your sister help you to prick the blisters."

Mu Yunxi suddenly came over with a smile. Wang Wanzhi subconsciously shrank back, but the more Wang Wanzhi shrank back, the more Mu Yunxi would lean towards Wang Qian. Finally, Wang Wanzhi had no choice but to lower her head and let Mu Yunxi grab her delicate little feet...

"Bah, Mu Yunxi is so shameless!" Xiao Qi, who was dozing in my arms, suddenly saw this scene, pouted and said, "I went out with her before, and she always targeted other beautiful girls, invited them to drink together, and invited them to go out for a full body spa together. The most annoying thing is that she didn't take me with her. Oh, I can't take it anymore. The more I think about it, the angrier I get. This stinky woman..."

"You're also asking someone to give you a full body spa?" I touched my chin and asked in a low voice, "Is it... the kind where you don't wear anything and put things on your body?"

"Yes, Mu Yunxi really likes to do that." Xiao Qi pouted, "Before, she didn't have the nerve to do it, but now she's got the nerve, so she has to go out and have fun every day. However, she's sold almost all of her burial objects, and I don't know how she can have fun when she has no money in the future."

I laughed after hearing what Xiao Qi said, thinking that this Mu Yunxi really didn't see it, and he was actually interested in... women?

"In ancient times, he was a general, and in modern times... he also has the potential to be a big brother!"

Just as I was watching Mu Yunxi grabbing Wang Wanzhi's delicate feet and rubbing them non-stop, Lai Fu, who was lying on the side, suddenly pricked up his ears, then suddenly stood up, staring at the direction of the bushes with wide eyes.

"What's going on?" I stood up quickly and looked at Lai Fu with a vigilant look.

Xiao Qi tilted his head and said, "It seems like there is a sound?"

Sure enough!

Almost as soon as Xiao Qi finished speaking, I heard chaotic and heavy footsteps coming from the direction of the bushes.

After hearing the footsteps, I immediately frowned, turned around and whispered to everyone: "Quick, someone is coming, hide first!"

After that, the group of people calmed down and slowly merged into the darkness.
