"I'll take a look!"

The tension and silence lasted for about five minutes, and a woman with what appeared to be a fluffy rabbit face finally lost her patience and jumped towards the screaming place.

Naturally, it was impossible for the team leader to watch the second team member have an accident, so he immediately waved his hand and motioned for the other two to follow.

After a few moments, they dragged an unrecognizable corpse back to the campfire.

To be precise, the corpse's head was smashed alive by something unknown, and its limbs were rudely torn off, making it look like a rag doll.

What's even more terrifying is that all his internal organs have been dug up, most of the blood has been drained, and the wounds are as clean and tidy as if they have been licked.

"What do you see?" asked the team leader with a grim face.

"Sorry, we didn't find anything. There were no footprints, no signs of a struggle or struggle, no signs of being dragged on, and I found only Kanter's body. The rabbit-faced woman shook her head helplessly.

It can be seen that her relationship with the deceased is quite good, so her eyes are full of pain and regret.

"No footprints, no signs of a fight or struggle? How is this possible!N'Golo Kante is the most powerful member of us, and if he can't put up the slightest symbolic resistance, how strong must the attacker be?" muttered the leader, frowning.

You must know that in this crazy world full of all kinds of monsters and robbers, death is certainly a very ordinary thing, but it is definitely not "normal" to let an experienced adventurer die quietly without leaving even a trace.

If there's anything that can kill a senior member quietly, it's a huge threat to the rest of the team.

Just when everyone was staring at the tattered corpse with heavy expressions, Luke, who had never said a word, suddenly bent down, gently opened the white wound caused by excessive blood loss, and asked in a slightly puzzled tone: "Such a huge wound, the blood has actually been sucked dry? Have you checked whether there are traces of massive bleeding around the corpse?"

"No! All the blood that came out of the body, including the brain, seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. Another man, who followed later, quickly explained.

"What, did you find anything?" the leader quickly shifted his attention to the boy.

Although Luke looks very young, one might even say young, he has already proven his abilities on a long journey, as well as his sanity and maturity that is not commensurate with his appearance.

"No, nothing. I just think it's a little weird. Look at this mutilated corpse, if the target is a beast or a monster, will it just tear the body apart, eat all the internal organs, drink the blood, and then touch the rest of the flesh?" Luke bluntly offered a hypothesis.

After all, this is a world of extremely poor resources, and the vast majority of lives do not spare even carrion, let alone fresh corpses that have just died.

The team leader was undoubtedly aware of the abnormality, and gently touched the thick short beard on his chin: "What do you mean...... It wasn't a monster that killed Kanter, but a living person like us?"

"Maybe, maybe not, who knows. But one thing is certain, and that is that this brutal method of killing is more of a panic creation than a release of nature. With that, Luke set his eyes on the dark forest in the distance.

He could feel a strong malice in the darkness that had locked onto the camp next to the campfire, but he never revealed his location because it was too well hidden.

"He wants us to be nervous, scared, panicked, and then take advantage of the chaos to kill everyone else?"

The team leader subconsciously clenched the weapon in his hand, and anger was brewing in his mind.

He can accept that his team members will be killed or even eaten by wild beasts, but he will never accept that the other party will treat the entire team as prey to play with at will.

"Yes, if I guessed correctly, we met a fierce and cunning hunter in his eyes, and in his eyes each one of us was prey, a source of pleasure for him. Unless the last person dies, he will always follow and look for opportunities. Well, are you interested in going deep into the forest with me now, and playing a life-and-death game with this sneaky fellow?" Luke's mouth turned up slightly, and he invited again.

Because he knew that without himself, this team would never have been able to get out of the forest alive.

Judging by the stealth and sneak attack skills displayed by the hunters, unless these people are always together and do nothing to separate, once they are separated, or if their eyes are shifted, one or two will be killed in an instant.

The gap in absolute power cannot be bridged by experience, wisdom and prudence.

The team leader is obviously very aware of this, his face is very ugly all of a sudden, and he makes eye contact with the team members around him from time to time.

You must know that according to the original plan, the team just took a short rest on the outskirts of this forest to replenish the precious drinking water, and did not even think of risking their lives to enter the depths of the ruins.

But now, they are approached by an unknown enemy, and they either retreat immediately at the risk of being followed and hunted, or they risk being swallowed by the forest, risking the lives of every member of the team to bet that the guy who brutally killed Kanter would not dare to enter the depths of the forest.

There is no doubt that this is a dilemma, and no matter which one is chosen, the result is likely to be total annihilation.

After much hesitation, the leader finally took a deep breath and responded in a categorical tone: "Of course! We're ready! But I have a question, how are you going to fool this living forest?"

"It's very simple! Let the non-thinking plants treat you and me as their kind. This is a special agent that allows the user to exude the natural scent of plants for a short period of time. As long as you don't act aggressively, such as directly attacking stout trees and vines, you will be considered part of the forest. ”

Luke pulled out a dozen potions from his pocket that glowed dark green, and handed them to the frightened team members one by one.

This is the recipe he got from the Darrant hidden behind the scenes after solving the previous puzzle.

The other party obviously knew his destination, otherwise the plane where this recipe appeared would be a little too coincidental.

In addition, he also felt that the mysterious hunter was also a pawn sent by the Darrants to interfere with him, or part of the game that the two had agreed on in advance.
