Chapter Seventy-Four: The First Emperor's Subordinates

The night was dark and dark. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

If it weren't for the scattered moonlight reflected on this gloomy white bone, then even Shi Wuwei and the others might not be able to discover the existence of this corpse.

"Senior brother, why did this person die in this forest?" Mu Yiyi asked.

In fact, she was puzzled that the corpse would be here.

By her judgment, it did look like the body had been dead for months or more, but she always felt that something was wrong, as if the development had exceeded her expectations.

Shi Wuwei saw his junior sister asking, so he lifted the sword in his hand and gently slashed at the armor on the deceased's chest.

The armor was already tattered and covered with rust. Thus, with this stroke, the armor detached and fell off, revealing the chest and abdomen hidden in it.

Compared to the exposed white bones, there was still a little flesh and blood on the chest of the deceased that had not yet rotted.

But the flesh had turned yellow-green, and it still emitted a foul smell, and it was disgusting to look at.

However, fortunately, at least this flesh and blood is still there, and it can still provide a clue for Shi Wuwei.

Because, he found that the corpse had two holes in its chest and abdomen, one large and one small.

One of the holes was in the heart of the deceased and was supposed to be the fatal wound that caused his death.

The other hole is under the abdomen of the deceased, that is, the dantian.

In fact, as early as when Shi Wuwei found this corpse, he had already noticed that this soldier of the Ming army must be a cultivator in front of him.

Because even after dying for so long, he can still feel the existence of the true qi from the deepest part of the opponent's bones.

"One by one, this person is estimated to have been pierced through the chest and dantian with a cone-shaped object." Shi Wuwei replied while continuing to rummage for clues.

However, feeling the eerie atmosphere around him, coupled with the strange shapes of the trees around him, which seemed to be like monsters with teeth and claws, Mu Yiyi finally frowned and expressed his concerns.

"Senior brother, you said that if this person is a soldier who came with the first emperor, why did he die under this big tree?"

After Shi Wuwei listened to his junior sister's words, he also felt that this matter was strange, so he began to look left and right, trying to find a clue.

As soon as Mu Yi saw that his senior brother had not yet understood what he wanted to say, he knew that he must have lost his due judgment because of the joy in his heart.

"Senior brother, if the first emperor brought a large army here, then this person should not die at the hands of his own people. But if it wasn't after dying of his own people, then why didn't the first emperor order someone to bury him alive? … You know, if this person is allowed to expose his body here, how can he calm the hearts of the army, and how can he be worthy of these soldiers who were born and died for him? ”。

As soon as these words came out, Shi Wuwei suddenly seemed to have opened his mind, turned his head suddenly, and exclaimed, "Could it be that there are others here who have made a move on the emperor?" ”。

Mu Yiyi saw that his senior brother had finally discovered the strangeness, and he was also relieved in his heart, and then said, "There may indeed be other cultivators on this island, after all, you and I can come, so why can't others come." However, there is another possibility, that is, there are likely to be some things that ordinary people cannot understand in this fairy island. Otherwise, it stands to reason that the first emperor's army must be quite numerous, and it should not be easily defeated."

Not only that, but Mu Yiyi also knew. The Jianwen Emperor in the mouth of the world, although he is young and has a strong cultivation, he will definitely not be under some grandmasters.

……

At this point, Shi Wuwei finally began to realize his problem.

He found that the desire for revenge in his heart, and his dedication to finding the first emperor, had gradually disturbed his mind and made him lose his due judgment.

So much so that he couldn't even find such a superficial inference in the mouth of his junior sister.

So, he had to lift his breath and concentrate, began to calm his restless heart, and began to think about how to deal with the current situation....

After a while, the search was fruitless. There was nothing but the rattan in the sky.

So, the two of them had to give up the idea of staying here to find it any longer, and instead continued to move forward according to the path they had planned before, in the direction that their hearts had guided.

………

As the two of them continued to go deeper, the trees around them became thicker and thicker, and the black rattans hanging across the sky became more and more dense.

Mu Yiyi vaguely remembered that when he first entered this forest, the size of the surrounding trees was twice as small as here. And before that, she could at least see through the rattan in front of her and see the scenery behind her.

However, at this time, the dense branches and rattans not only blocked the sight of the two, but also caused great difficulties for the two to travel.

Not only that, the deeper he went into this forest, the more Mu Yiyi's heart sank.

She always felt that this forest was very strange, and it seemed to have a feeling of being watched.

And just when Mu Yiyi was uneasy about this strange forest, he saw that Shi Wuwei had already waved the sword in his hand, "whoosh", "whoosh", "whoosh" and "whoosh" cut off the rattan in front of him.

"One by one, the smell here is indeed strange." Shi Wuwei frowned and said in a deep voice.

Yes, from the very beginning, he faintly noticed the smell of this forest, which was somewhat special.

Although he knew that the place was unusually damp, and the dead trees were prone to decay. The lichens, fungi, and mushrooms that can be found everywhere seem to prove that there is a large amount of decaying wood here.

However, what puzzled him was the smell of the air, not the smell of rotting wood, as he thought. Rather, it is more like the smell of decay in a dead person.

The smell is very pungent and extremely disgusting.

And Mu Yiyi, who is already a woman, already hates the smell of decay that permeates the surroundings. Therefore, when she heard that her senior brother felt the same way, she immediately said, "Senior brother, this place is more like the smell of a mass grave."

Regarding the mass grave mentioned by the senior sister, Shi Wuwei felt that this description was not too much. Because this smell is indeed unusually unpleasant.

Simply, he had to say, "One by one, I think we should hurry up."

He also wanted to get out of this eerie woods as soon as possible.

However, just as Shi Wuwei turned around and just took a step, there was a stroke under his feet, if he hadn't stabilized the game in time, I was afraid that he would have fallen to the ground.

"Senior brother, be careful!!".

Mu Yiyi saw that his senior brother almost fell, so he stepped forward and took the handle and helped the other party's right arm.

However, at the same time as she stepped forward, Shi Wuwei had already turned his head.

At this time, there was a trace of shock and a trace of hesitation in his eyes.

"One by one, this tree!! There seems to be a quirky !! ”。

He was sure that he hadn't slipped by accident.

Rather, the roots of the tree beneath his feet were twitching........
