Volume 7 Chapter 69, The Carcass of the Beast
A terrible silence swept over Chen Chen and his companions, the sun had completely sunk below the horizon, the light became darker and darker, and soon after that, the junior sister finally got used to the smell here, stopped vomiting, the wood ape took a big stride, walked to the middle of these wolf beasts, he stretched out his big hand, picked up dozens of trees on the ground one by one, and threw them aside, some of the fierce beasts that were suppressed under the trees were more clearly exposed in front of Chen Chen, and made Chen Chen nauseate for a while, and the junior sister retched a few times, the cause of death of these fierce beasts was basically the same, they all opened a big hole between their eyebrows。
The wooden ape grabbed the ear of a wolf beast from the ground and lifted the wolf beast up, the wolf beast is different from ordinary wolves, its body is as big as a buffalo, its black hair is very hard, and its head is as big as a buffalo, but it is very small in the hands of the wooden ape, Chen Chen saw the wooden ape staring at the wolf beast carefully, he suddenly realized that maybe since they entered the Fengxin Forest, the real danger is coming, and whether they can pass through these dangers only God knows, he looked at his junior sister, and only hoped that she could be safe.
Although the death of the wolf beasts on the ground was very disgusting, Chen Chen forced himself to stare at these wolf beasts, he wanted to check what these wolf beasts had encountered. There was a wolf beast in the middle of every stall of blood, the blood soaked the leaves on the ground, although the wolf beasts had a hole in their foreheads, but there were no injuries elsewhere on their bodies, maybe invisible scars, Chen Chen thought secretly, he bent down and groped for the bones of a wolf beast all over its body, he was careful not to let himself stick to the bloodstains, he found that the wolf beast had no other bones damaged except for the broken skull. He became more and more frightened, maybe it was just this situation with this wolf beast, he checked another one, checked another one, checked a total of eight, came and went on the bloodstained ground, although he was very careful, there were still a lot of blood stains on his shoes, he only felt a chill down his spine, what could make the wolf beast die like this.
"The wolf beasts all died from broken skulls!" the wood ape said in a deep voice the fact that Chen Chen already knew.
"They don't have any other scars on them. Chen Chen also knew this.
"And they've all lost Neidan!" Chen Chen didn't notice this, he leaned down again, grabbed a wolf beast, and checked the wolf beast's body with his consciousness, sure enough, the place that was originally Neidan was empty, and Neidan seemed to have been taken out from the hole in his forehead, and there was a passage from his forehead to Neidan. What was it that was going to take out their inner pills? what was it that could make a group of wolf beasts die in the same way?Chen Chen was terrified again.
"Uncle Wood Ape," the younger sister whispered, "These wolf beasts are all of high grade, almost all of them are seven to eight grades."
That's right, Chen Chen also discovered this, but he was not surprised, the fierce beasts living in the inner layer of this Fengxin Forest will naturally not be low-grade, which is also what makes people feel frightened, since they entered the Fengxin Forest for a while, they have been wondering why in addition to the crystal beast, not a single fierce beast has been found, and now it is found, but I didn't expect it to be a bunch of dead fierce beasts.
"Why did they die here?" Senior Sister asked a question that Chen Chen also wanted to know: "And there are so many fierce beasts, why do they all die in the same way, who took their Inner Dan?!"
"Just look and you'll find out," the wood ape replied, and it must be true that he had learned from thousands of years of life. He was surveying back and forth in this field, Chen Chen didn't know what clues he had found, but after Chen Chen's observation, his conclusion made him not believe it.
By the time the ape stopped his tracks, a few stars had risen in the sky, and night was about to fall.
"Uncle Wood Ape," Chen Chen asked this time, because he really couldn't believe the conclusion he had reached. "Did you find anything, and how did they die?".
The ape was silent for a moment. The crystal beast jumped to a tree stump, pointed to a hollow pit where the branch was broken, and squeaked, and the wood ape gave it a look, and it jumped into the arms of the junior sister again, and stopped chirping.
"Xiaojing, what's wrong?" the junior sister asked, "Did you find anything too?" The crystal beast shook its head and was silent, but Chen Chen's heart was shocked, because it was based on those depressions that he had also come to conclusions.
"There are no other traces of a fight here except for the lodging of these big trees," said the junior sister, the answer became more and more obvious in Chen Chen's heart, but he became more and more confused, "How did they die, Uncle Wood Ape?"
Chen Chen looked at the wooden ape, wanting to get an answer from there, but saw the wooden ape pretending to be relaxed and replied: "How did you die, this wolf beast is particularly delicious when roasted, I found that we have to eat it tonight, you two little guys have a good mouth tonight, you have also eaten wild vegetables and wild fruits for a long time, not to mention how delicious Xiaojing's barbecued meat is, I will change the taste for you tonight!"
Chen Chen only felt a burst of nausea, after seeing the miserable situation of these wolf beasts, he couldn't eat the meat of this wolf beast, and sure enough, the senior sister was about to vomit again.
"Oh, little girl, what are you spitting up, isn't my old man's proposal bad!" the wooden ape rolled up Chen Chen and his junior sister, put them on his shoulder, and then lifted a wolf beast, "I don't think it's too early, let's get out of here."
Chen Chen sat on the shoulder of the wooden ape, and as he walked, he watched this endless forest turn from dark green to dark in front of him, and then to dim, there were more and more stars in the night sky, but there was no moon, his nerves had always been tense, he knew that the real danger was waiting for them, he watched left and right along the way, trying to find the hidden danger from the darkness, but found nothing. The junior sister was asking about the cause of death of those wolf beasts along the way, but the wood ape kept diverting from other topics.
The night was getting darker, and the air was full of cold. The wooden ape walked until the moon rose into the air and did not intend to stop, it was already far away from the place where the wolf beast died, they walked through the forest for a long time, the road in the forest was not very easy to walk, even the wooden ape had to go around inside, but their direction was always along the direction of the central tower, and the junior sister began to wonder: "Uncle Wood Ape, aren't you very tired in the afternoon, and said that you are resting tonight, why did you walk for so long and still not stop, it is already far away from there."
"You think my old man is so useless when he is old, I can still go." The apes walked a long way before they stopped, and decided to rest here, a road in the woods, and there were exactly three huge stones on the side of the road, two on one side and one on the other, and they were going to stop and rest among these three boulders.
Chen Chen used the excuse to find firewood to make a fire, in fact, he wanted to check the surrounding forest to check whether there was any danger, he stepped into the forest on the left side of the road, the forest was too dark, except for the night wind blowing sometimes, the leaves rustled, there was no sound, the moonlight drilled through the gaps in the leaves with difficulty and left a little mottled shadow under the tree, Chen Chen stepped on the soft leaves, while picking up firewood while checking the surrounding situation, about ten minutes later, he concluded that there was no danger here, and then he sent the firewood to the middle of the rock, and then went to the other side to check, the situation was basically the same。
By the time he returned to his companion with another handful of firewood, the Crystal Beast had already lit a large fire, and the Wood Ape didn't dare to get too close to the flames, so he skinned the wolf beast beside him. Chen Chen also added the firewood in his hand to the fire, the firewood here was very dry, the flame suddenly tripled, the junior sister played with the flame on the side, the firelight illuminated her face red, the flame danced in her eyes, she was still thinking about everything that had just happened. The crystal beast nestled in her arms and stared at her junior sister.
When the wooden ape put the stripped beast on the flame and sat down cautiously, the junior sister raised her head and asked, "Uncle Wood Ape, can't you tell me how those fierce beasts died?"
Chen Chen saw the wood ape shrug helplessly. "You little girl, why are you so stubborn? I don't want you to be scared if I don't tell you. Your senior brother should know" The wooden ape looked at him and said, "Boy, tell me what you think."
Chen Chen felt that his opinion was too crazy, and he didn't know how to speak for a while, but finally said: "I think they were killed by hitting a tree!"
"Huh?" This result was too unexpected, and even Chen Chen himself felt a little cheating, and the junior sister couldn't close her mouth in surprise. "How is this possible, so many beasts are killed together! Are they crazy?"
Chen Chen didn't dare to be sure of his answer, and looked at the wood ape, these were too unbelievable. "Tell me your reasons," said the wood ape.
"There are no other scars on those wolf beasts at all," Chen Chen looked at his junior sister, "They all have a big hole in their heads, the skull is shattered from the outside in, there are no traces of a fight at the scene, there are traces of their claws crawling on the ground, and there is a big crater where each tree is broken, which Xiaojing also discovered."
The Crystal Beast jumped to the ground and bounced around on the ground. Its snow-white fur turned golden in the firelight, flickering and dimming as the flames danced.
"Boy," said the wooden ape, "you have observed carefully", and he looked at his sister again, "You are right, these fierce beasts are indeed crazy, they are driven crazy by a force, it is this power to take out their inner pill, so that they will not want to live, so in the end they hit the tree and die, breaking the skull, and the inner pill is also taken out."
"I also thought that there is some kind of power, they can't go crazy for no reason" Chen Chen said: "But what power can drive a group of fierce beasts crazy, and can also take out their inner pills, I searched every book I read and didn't find the answer."
"Don't say it's you," the wood ape sighed helplessly, "I've never seen this kind of power in all this long life, and I'm only inferred from the way those wolf beasts died......"
The wolf beast on the fire was burned with a thunderclap, exuding an attractive fragrance, the oil dripped on the fire, making the flame rise again, the spark slowly rose into the air, and then extinguished, although the wolf beast was roasted very crispy, but that night, no one could eat a piece of barbecue, and no one fell asleep that night, Chen Chen lay down for a while, only panicked in his heart, and always felt that something was secretly staring at them, the senior sister kept turning over at night, and in the middle of the night, Chen Chen got up again to meditate and practice, rather than wasting time when he couldn't sleep, it was better to use this time to improve his strength。
