Chapter 59: Peculiar Smell

Lin Muye and Liu Rui did not alarm the people in the village, so they entered the secluded forest from the entrance of the village.

It was half past five in the morning, the dew on the tender green leaves was crumbling, and Mu Ye's body had become wet through several towering ancient trees, and he was wearing a light gray robe, which was not easy to be spotted by wild beasts when he walked through the woods.

"That's where I found the spotted leopard. Lin Muye whispered, pointing ahead.

Liu Rui nodded.

Lin Muye squatted down and lifted a dead leaf that was wet with dewdrops, and there were indeed blood stains underneath: "This spotted leopard should be controlled by purple energy, and its intelligence is much higher than that of ordinary beasts." ”

"It should be possible to find its lair by following the bloodstains......," Liu Rui's eyes were solemn, "Such a beast should be a social animal, I'm afraid there is more than one spotted leopard controlled by purple energy." ”

Lin Muye's expression was also a little dignified, and Liu Rui's guess might be right.

The two began to search for bloodstains in a carpet manner, and soon found two places, but the bloodstains in these two places were very far away, almost in two directions.

"There are two spotted leopards. Lin Muye squatted down, brushed aside the fallen leaves between the blood stains, and found several messy footprints, as well as a few strands of blood that were far away and scattered, "It seems that these two spotted leopards are competing for the same prey." He fell into deep thought, since it was two spotted leopards that were also controlled, their IQ should be relatively high, and they should not easily fight.

There must be prey that is very precious to them.

Lin Muye took a drop of blood from the wet leaves, and this drop of blood should be the traces left by the prey they fought for.

He sniffed lightly at the smell of blood on his hands, and a pungent fishy smell penetrated his nostrils.

"This is not the blood of ordinary people!" Lin Muye was sure that such blood must not belong to normal human beings.

Liu Rui heard Lin Muye's voice and hurried over: "What's wrong?"

Lin Muye put the undried blood on his hand in front of Liu Rui's nose, Liu Rui frowned and showed a disgusted expression, and fanned his nose with his palm.

"This blood is so strange, it seems to have smelled somewhere......" A touch of the slanting sun gently shone on Liu Rui's white and tender cheeks through the dense leaves, and after a long period of longing, her crystal lips opened slightly, and she made a surprised voice: "This is the smell of the soul well!"

"Falling Soul Well!?" Lin Muye also exclaimed, he suddenly remembered that not far from the Qiushui River on the sheepskin map that Mei gave him before was the place where the Falling Soul Well was located.

Lin Muye continued: "It seems that there is something wrong with the Falling Soul Well!" He raised his head and looked at Liu Rui, "Do you know the specific location of the Falling Soul Well?"

Liu Rui nodded: "My master is the guardian of the Falling Soul Well, I saw him three days ago, and at that time I smelled some strange smell in the Falling Soul Well. ”

The two glanced at each other, and Liu Rui led Lin Muye to turn around, and went straight to the place where the Soul Well was located, through the woods, and then crossed a stream to the place where the Soul Well was located.

The dilapidated ancient well seemed very lonely, and the surrounding towering ancient trees made a rustling sound, and the whistling sound of the wind was extremely desolate.

Next to the Well of Falling Souls, there is a huge group of wooden houses, there are more than a dozen large and small wooden houses, the wooden doors are wide open, and the dead leaves in the wooden hall and corridor seem to have not been cleaned for a long time.

Liu Rui rushed into the wooden house, and after looking around, there was no figure of the master, those tables, chairs and benches were scattered everywhere, and there were many scratches on the wooden walls, like marks left by wild beasts.

When Lin Muye came to the mouth of the Soul Falling Well, what came to his nose was the same smell as the blood in the woods before.

Head poked into the well, Lin Muye screamed in surprise, Liu Rui heard his voice and hurried over, and at the same time looked at the wellhead, she covered her mouth and gasped.

Floating in the well was a foul-smelling corpse.

Lin Muye found a few thick rattans in the woods, cut off one end of the rattan with soul power, and then tied it to himself, and Liu Rui pulled the rattan at the mouth of the well.

"Be careful. Liu Rui instructed gently.

Lin Muye gave a thumbs up, looked at the corpse that had been soaked in the well water, and stepped on the uneven stones by the well and descended.

It was not easy to pull the body up, and Lin Muye sat on the ground limply, panting for breath. The smell below is really disgusting, and if you stay for a few more minutes, I'm afraid you will be stunned by the pungent smell.

Finally breathing a sigh of relief, the eyes of the two of them were fixed on the decomposing corpse.

He was not tall, and his clothes had become sparse and tattered. It's like going through a fierce fight.

Lin Muye sorted out his clothes with his hands, and found that there was a symbol on his chest that belonged to the Soul Crossing Master Academy: "Ni Spy! His voice almost trembled.

The deceased turned out to be a student of the Soul Crossing Academy, and he was a Soul Crossing Master ranked thirtieth, and his strength could definitely be called first-class.

So who was he victimized by?

"It's strange......" Liu Rui frowned, pinched her nose and rummaged around Ni Spy, but didn't find anything missing from his body, "His body is very complete, what did those spotted leopards get?"

"There were signs of blunt force wounds! like hammers and stuff. Lin Muye carefully observed his chest, there was a bone crack, although it had been soaked in well water for some time, although the specific time of death could not be judged, but the dent caused by the blunt object on his chest was very obvious.

When Lin Muye looked at Liu Rui, she found that her pupils were constricted, her expression was dull, and her crystal lips and teeth slowly opened: "Master's Mu Chen Hammer!" She showed an unbelievable face and slowly looked up at Lin Muye, "Impossible...... Master, he will not harm his fellow disciples. ”

Lin Muye frowned slightly, it seemed that Ni Spy's death was inseparable from Liu Rui's master.

The boiling well water quietly began to churn, and a pungent stench erupted from the soul well!

This pungent smell was exactly the same as the smell on Ni Spy's body, Lin Muye walked to the Soul Falling Well, poked his head over, and the churning well water blew a cold wind on his face, and the smell in the wind was much stronger.

"That smell is not from Ni Spy, it's down there!" Lin Muye pointed to the turbid water in the well.

Liu Rui came to Lin Muye's side before she could recover from the shock, and she also smelled the smell.

In this way, there is something under the Fallen Soul Well!

Lin Muye decided to go down and investigate.

Liu Rui grabbed his arm: "The Soul Well is not allowed to enter the Demon Race or the Supreme Soul Crossing Master, and if you enter rashly, you will die." ”

She didn't know that Lin Muye was the descendant of the demon clan, so she looked a little nervous, Lin Muye pursed her lips, and didn't bother to explain to her, so she shook her head, revealing a fearless look.

Lin Muye smiled faintly: "It's okay! Death is death, what are you afraid of." ”

When Liu Rui heard Lin Muye say this, her fingers grabbed Lin Muye's arm even harder, her gentle eyes had a hint of worry in them, and her white and tender breasts rose and fell slightly.

She lowered her eyebrows, blinked her big eyes and looked at Lin Muye and said, "I'm worried about you, so don't go down." ”

Lin Muye said lightly: "It's okay, I'll go down, if there is any danger, you can leave first!"

"Don't go, really!"

Liu Rui's pleading gaze made Lin Muye's heart tremble, is there really love at first sight in this world? Lin Muye can't answer such a question now, and he doesn't know what the woman in front of him has plans for him, all of which can't be explained.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Lin Muye could only say that, gently broke her hand away, turned around and jumped into the soul well!

The water splashed, and Liu Rui lay on the edge of the Soul Falling Well and looked at the figure that disappeared into the well with worried eyes.

The turbid water in the well made Lin Muye feel as if he had fallen into a turbid world, and he released his soul power to burn the dirty impurities around him, and his vision was barely clearer.

Diving down about ten meters, the well water became much clearer, and at the bottom of the well, a splendid palace became clear, and the red lacquered rosewood pillars under the golden glazed tiles supported the whole palace.

The bright red wooden door is inlaid with ninety-nine golden nails.

Lin Muye fell to the door, and a plaque stood horizontally on the door frame.
