Chapter 248: Speculation

Siyu naturally didn't know what Guo Zixu thought, if he knew, he would have waited for him a long time ago. Instead, he continued to hold Xin'er's hand and followed her side by side at the front of the line.

The crowd walked slowly, leaving deep footprints on the thick snow. I don't know how long it took, Guo Zixu couldn't help but say again.

"I said, are we in the wrong place, are you sure this is the village of Trembling? It looks so tattered, and there is no one. ”

Indeed, everyone walked for a long time without finding a single figure, although there were several houses made of ice cubes around, but all of them had closed their doors and there was no movement, and it seemed that they were the only ones in the entire trembling village, and the others did not know where to go.

This made Ma Dian also wonder: It doesn't make sense, aren't the villagers of Tremor Village very enthusiastic? Why don't anyone come out, what is going on, are all the rumors false?

After all, Ma Dian was also here for the first time, and he didn't have much more experience than others, so he could only frown, sigh and say, "Let's take a look again, maybe you can see people in two more steps." ”

With that, he continued to move on with the others.

"Cut, that's what you just said. Guo Zixu muttered.

said so, but Guo Zixu still quickly followed me and walked behind silently.

"Wait...... Don't leave me, hey!"

......

Sure enough, after a while, there was something more in front of me, but it was not a person, but a pool of flush, which opened in the snow-white snow, and it looked dazzling.

Seeing this flush, everyone's expressions couldn't help but be a little solemn, and there seemed to be a faint bad premonition in their hearts.

Ma Dian took a deep breath and slowly walked to the piece of Chaohong, and the others gathered around Ma Dian one after another, only to see him pick up a small pile of blood that was flushed red, and after looking at it carefully, he said in a deep voice.

"It's blood, and it's human blood. ”

Hearing this, everyone was silent, Sakura subconsciously took two steps back, only to feel that the soles of her feet suddenly stepped on a hard object, and a cold feeling spread from the sole of her shoes to the soles of her feet.

"Ahh

Sakura Meng screamed and jumped up, leaning on Lu Qiuhao, her body trembling slightly.

Xin'er, who was closest to Sakura, instantly squatted at Sakura's feet, digging down her footprints, and after digging for a long time, three fingers appeared in front of Xin'er's eyes, and the remaining two were broken around. Xin'er subconsciously swallowed her saliva, plucked up her courage, and grabbed the three fingers and lifted them up. A purple arm covered in frost and frostbite was pulled out by Xin'er.

Xin'er held this arm, only to feel a cold air burrowing into her body along her palm, and hurriedly put this arm in the snow. Sakura looked at that arm, her face trembled, and she trembled.

"I ...... I just ...... Is it stepping on ...... Stepping on this?"

Xin'er looked at Sakura and didn't speak, just nodded silently. Seeing that he had just stepped on the hands of a dead man, Sakura Meng only felt a burst of nausea, her stomach was tumbling, and she vomited out all the bile with a "wow", Lu Qiuhao hurriedly hugged Sakura Meng and calmed her emotions.

The rest of the people did not choose to appease Sakura, but observed this arm, Ma Dian squatted next to Xin'er, and said lightly: "This arm should have been buried for a while, and it has been at least nearly half a month." Because the wind and snow were too strong, it was buried early, and if Sakura hadn't accidentally stepped on it, it might have disappeared into the wind and snow forever. ”

Xin'er frowned slightly, "Here, what happened before? How could a broken arm be left in the snow." ”

Xin'er looked at Ma Dian, the two glanced at each other, nodded at each other, and dug down along the surroundings. The rest of the people also understood and helped Xin'er and Ma Dian dig up the snow under their feet.

It didn't take long for the surrounding snow to be cleared by several people, and the flush was removed, and only one piece of clothing was found inside, and the clothes were also stained with flush, and there was nothing else.

Seeing that the thin clothes were blown away by the cold wind, everyone didn't know what to do for a while.

"Let's keep digging around! Maybe we'll find any clues!" Ma Dian suggested.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and dug up the surrounding snow one after another, although Sakura Dream was still a little frightened, but still under the support of Lu Qiuhao, he worked silently.

Finally, with the joint efforts of everyone, a large area of snow was cleared around, however, no clues were found, only a dozen broken arms and some torn clothes were dug out of the snow by everyone.

At this time, those broken arms were neatly placed in front of everyone, although the broken arms were already as hard as steel pipes, but everyone still felt that there was a strong smell of blood from the mouth of the broken arms, and it was inhaled by everyone along the nasal cavity.

Ma Dian frowned, and said calmly: "These broken arms should belong to the villagers here." ”

"What, how could it be?" everyone exclaimed, except for Xin'er, who nodded silently with a serious expression.

Ma Dian picked up one of the broken arms and said: "You see, this broken arm is very small, like a child, but it is very thick, some of it is covered with wrinkles, and the hands are even more dissatisfied with calluses. It can't be a child's hand! It can only be an adult's hand, a short, sturdy arm that characterizes the arms of the villagers here!"

Everyone was silent, and Ma Dian slowly lowered his arm and continued.

"And the clothes and fabrics we found before are very primitive, they are all simply sewn from animal skins, it is impossible for the adventurers who come here to wear such primitive clothes, if outsiders wear such clothes, they will not be able to survive here at all, only those who live here, those who are accustomed to the environment here, will wear such clothes. Therefore, I dare to conclude that these arms were left by the villagers who once lived here. ”

"That's ......"

Everyone was subconsciously stunned and took two steps back.

Sakura Meng was still a little unwilling, echoing the cold touch on the soles of Fang Cai's feet, Sakura Meng only felt an unspeakable pain welling up in her heart, walked quickly to the nearest house, knocked on the door and said, "Hello, is anyone there?

There was no movement in the house, and only the cries of Sakura Dream kept ringing in the empty village.

"Hello, is anyone there, and if so, open the door?"

"Hello, please open the door, I need help!"

"Please, if anyone is inside, open the door, okay?"

......

Sakura Meng knocked on the door door, but did not get any response, and in the end, Sakura Dream simply broke into the door, but what she saw was still an empty room, in addition, she saw not only half a figure, but not only a little human voice, only the merciless wind, blowing Sakura's lost mood.

In the end, Sakura Dream staggered back to everyone with the support of Lu Qiuhao.

"Why, why would the villagers here leave only their arms in the snow for some reason, why? Why?" Sakura was a little desperate.

"My guess is that the villagers here must have been attacked. Ma Dian said in a deep voice.

"Who? Who is it? Why are you attacking the villagers here, why are the villagers here so kind and enthusiastic, why are they attacking them!" shouted Sakuramu.

"I don't know exactly who it is, but the attack was brutal, and I guess the whole village must have died. Ma Dian said lightly.

"What about the escort team? Why haven't the imperial guards come yet, what are they doing to eat! With so many people dead here, don't the guards of the Ming Great Empire react at all! Just treat the people of the royal family as human beings, and you can ignore the lives and deaths of others?" Sakura Meng said with some excitement.

"Sakura Meng, calm down, the guards of the Ming Empire have either not received the news yet, so they are on the way here, this is also a helpless thing, you must know that the population here is too sparse, and the villagers in the only village have disappeared a lot, and the news will not be able to wear it for a while. Coupled with the fact that the traces here have long been covered in snow, it is even more difficult to spot. As far as I can guess, the Imperial Guards didn't notice the tragedy at all, and we were probably the first to find out. Lu Qiuhao grabbed Sakura Meng's shoulder and said.

"How could it be...... How so. Sakura's expression was a little sluggish. I saw him shake his head and shout desperately.

"Who's it! I'm going to kill him!"

Xin'er said in a deep voice: "I think that the one who attacked them is exactly what we are looking for on this trip-the ninth-order snow ape bear. ”

"What!Xin'er, are you sure?" Sakura said in surprise as she looked at Xin'er.

Xin'er nodded: "It shouldn't be wrong, you take a closer look at these stumps, there are no obvious cutting marks at their roots, and there are no traces of being torn, only deep tooth marks, wanting to bite off people's arms in one bite, ordinary people can't do it at all, only huge spirit beasts can do it, according to my guess, it should be the snow ape bear who came to the village, attacked the people in the village, grabbed their arms, and ate their bodies!" Then they threw their arms aside, which is why so many arms were buried in the snow. ”

Hearing this, everyone's stomachs were overturned, and they barely controlled themselves not to vomit. Although the cause of the villagers' death has been found, the specific reason Xin'er still has no clue, it stands to reason that generally the high-level spirit beasts here will choose to stay in the core area of the Extreme North Wasteland, because where the heaven and earth elements are the most intense, the most suitable for high-level spirit beasts to live. It is extremely rare for high-level spirit beasts to infest the periphery of the Far North Wasteland, and cases of attacking ordinary people are even rarer.

But now, there are high-level spirit beasts that not only infest the periphery of the Extreme North Wasteland, but also leave the Extreme North Wasteland and attack the residents of the entire village, which is really incredible.

Xin'er was still thinking about it, but she heard a trembling voice reach her ears.

"According to you, the villagers here are ......," Sakura said again.

Xin'er nodded, "Yes, it should have been eaten by the snow ape bear!"

Hearing this, Sakura Meng couldn't recognize it anymore, and spit out bile with a "wow" again, but this time, she didn't retreat, she was not afraid, but wiped the bile from the corner of her mouth, stepped out, and walked to the front of the line.

"Sakura Meng, where are you going?" Lu Qiuhao asked subconsciously.

Sakura didn't reply: "The Far North Wasteland!"

Lu Qiuhao quickly followed behind Sakura, and the others also silently followed, heading towards the Extreme Northern Wasteland.

......

The two of them walked all the way, and were about to walk out of the village of Trembling, when they suddenly saw an igloo appear in front of them. Not far away is the Far Northern Heath.

Looking at the igloo, Sakura Meng instantly felt a little emotional, although she already knew the result, Sakura Meng still couldn't help but step forward and knock on the door.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Hello, is anyone at home, and if so, please open the door?"

"If there's anyone, open the door, okay. ”

"We need help, can you please open the door?"

Seeing that no one responded, Sakura Meng sighed, and Lu Qiuhao put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Let's go." ”

Sakura nodded, leaned on Lu Qiuhao, got up with him, and slowly walked forward. The others followed, and Guo Zixu was alone at the back of the line, as he crossed the igloo.

Suddenly!

A dark gaze peeked through the cracks of the igloo, in this cold wasteland, that gaze was like a small grass, pitiful and helpless, but full of stubbornness and unyielding, full of hostility to the surrounding ice and snow, and full of hostility to everything around it.

Guo Zixu instantly felt this special gaze, turned his head suddenly, and instantly met the dark gaze, which was like a frightened mimosa, and immediately took it back, leaving a white igloo alone.

Guo Zixu was very sure that someone was observing them through the igloo just now, so he immediately stopped and shouted excitedly: "Everyone, stop, stop, there are people inside, there are people inside!"

The people in front stopped one after another and gathered around Guo Zixu.

"Where's anyone?"

Guo Zixu pointed to the igloo in front of him and said incoherently: "It's here!

"Are you sure!"

Guo Zixu nodded very affirmatively, excited, and danced with his hands: "That's right! There is really someone in the igloo! When I stepped over the igloo just now, I felt a very special gaze behind me! When I turned around, I instantly saw a pair of dark eyes looking at me through the gap in the igloo! But I immediately hid again!"

Sakura immediately walked to the door again and kept knocking.

"Is there anyone inside? open the door, okay?"

"We're good people! We're here to help you, please open the door!"

"We won't hurt you, trust us, open the door!"

Although there was still no response, everyone could clearly hear the sound of rapid breathing and trembling, which made everyone very sure that there was indeed someone inside!

Inside, a pair of dark eyes were hiding in the dark corner, silently staring at the dark door.

Sakura took a deep breath and said to the cold snow gate, "The people inside, please stand back, we're coming in!"

With that, Sakura raised her right foot, her toes shining with golden light, aimed at the door, and kicked out.

Second-Order Gold Magic - Flashpoint Kick!

Just listen to the "bang",

The door opened.
