Luo Lie strode forward, leaving the cranky Arnold far behind.

Zhang Changgong at the front of the team found a corpse, in the eyes of their group, it was not strange to find a corpse, but it was only discovered so late, and it was a little strange to find it when he walked here, it was close to three miles away from the place of yesterday's fierce battle, and then he saw a corpse, the corpse was partially buried by the yellow sand, lying face down on the sand.

They had already experienced many dangers before, and they did not dare to approach rashly when they saw the corpse. Zhou Wenhu could tell from the body's exposed uniform that the man was supposed to be a member of their army, and he told Zhang Changgong about it.

Zhang Changgong made a gesture, and Lu Weilin raised his gun and aimed it at the head of the corpse, so as not to deceive. Zhang Changgong held the knife in one hand, walked over, came to the corpse, first slapped the corpse twice with the blade of the knife, and saw that the corpse did not move, so he reached out and grabbed the corpse's shoulder to help him turn around.

The corpse flipped over, Martha let out an exclamation in fright, Yan Tianxin also subconsciously turned around, and Luo Lie immediately reached out to block Tiewa's sight.

The corpse was in a terrible state of death, its entire face was torn off, its flesh and blood were blurred, its chest and abdomen were cut open, and its internal organs were hollowed out.

Zhou Wenhu and Zhao Luxin saw that their comrades-in-arms died so miserably, and the impact on their hearts was the greatest, their eyes were hot, and the tears the size of soybeans couldn't be controlled, Zhao Luxin gritted his teeth and said, "Bastard...... If I find those brutes, I'm going to break them to pieces!" was extremely sad and angry in his heart, but the reason in his mind told him that he had no ability to do so.

Zhang Changgong carefully observed the corpse and said: "It should not be done by a human, there are traces of being bitten on the face, and the wound in the chest and abdomen should be scratched open by sharp claws, which is obviously a laceration, not a sword." ”

Lu Weilin approached the corpse with a gun and took a look, he also agreed with Zhang Longbow's point of view, no one would be so cruel.

Luo Lie thought of the one-eyed beast they had encountered last night, and the one-eyed beast should have such power. Zhang Longbow has found the footprints of the animal nearby at this time, judging by his years of hunting experience, this footprint should be the traces of the wolf's claws, which is completely different from the one-eyed beast he encountered last night, but although the shape is similar, the claw marks are larger than the ordinary wolf claws, judging from the footprints alone, if this creature is a wolf, then the size of this wolf is also extremely amazing, and the length of the body should be about two meters.

Even the blood wolf encountered in Pale Mountain did not have such a large size, and Zhang Longbow did not find many footprints, so he could basically conclude that a creature had dragged the corpse here.

Zhou Wenhu and Zhao Luxin couldn't bear the corpses of their comrades-in-arms in the wilderness, so they buried their comrades-in-arms with yellow sand.

But it soon became clear that this was just the beginning, and that the corpses of the soldiers were kept coming across along the way, almost all of them in the same tragic state, and the murderous creatures were only interested in the faces and internal organs of the soldiers, and ignored their shells.

Most of them were shocked by the tragic situation in front of them, but Luo Hunt found that this corpse was leading them to some unknown fear.

Martha whispered to Luo Lie, "Have you noticed that these corpses all appeared on the road to Helan Mountain?" Her words were not exact, there was no road in the Gobi, but the route in which the corpse appeared was exactly the same as the route indicated on the map in the Qur'an.

Luo Lie didn't think that the Temple Knight would be bored enough to kill those soldiers, and then lined up the corpses here one by one, could it be the unknown creature that caused the vision?

Zhang Longbow pointed forward and said, "Look!"

Everyone walked quickly, only to see a huge depression in front of them, a natural sand pit, in which there were dense corpses, and it was not difficult to tell from the clothing of the corpses that they were all from the army of the new battalion, and the corpses were missing, but all were transferred here.

Seeing the sight in front of them, Zhou Wenhu and Zhao Luxin could no longer control their inner emotions, and the two of them cried loudly, because of fear, because of sadness, and because of guilt, only loud crying can relieve some of the pressure in their hearts.

Yan Tianxin bit her lips, she had never seen such a cruel scene in her life, more than a thousand soldiers, no matter what the starting point of these people was, but after all, they were all fresh lives, and suddenly they became bloody corpses, and there were no dead bodies, their internal organs had been eaten by unknown cruel beasts.

Song Changjin's face was pale, and he smelled the strong smell of blood and corpses, and he couldn't help but bend down and vomit anymore.

Zhang Changgong blocked Tiewa behind him and ordered him not to look at it, although Lu Weilin was cold, he couldn't imagine anyone who could do such a cruel thing.

Luo Lie said: "Why do you want to gather all the corpses here?"

Song Changjin wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, took a breath and said, "This place used to be a sacrificial pit in the past......"

Everyone's eyes were all on Song Changjin, Song Changjin misunderstood what they meant, and said with a wry smile: "What are you looking at me for? It's not that I killed them, I just know a little more, is this still a crime?"

Zhang Changgong shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be a simple sacrifice. ”

Arnold said: "What is it that is not a sacrifice? should it be kind enough to drag these corpses to this pit and bury them?"

Lu Weilin said: "How is it possible, I think this place will be like a place to store food." ”

Arnold's head shook like a rattle: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, it's so hot, it will become stinky meat in a while, do they like to eat carrion?"

The ground shook beneath their feet, and they hurried back, only to see that parts of the sand pit were beginning to collapse, and the bodies on them fell with the collapsed parts.

Zhang Changgong said: "Let's get out of here first." ”

Luo Lie felt that the sand surface under his feet began to vibrate irregularly, and something seemed to be shaking underneath.

Tiewa suddenly pointed into the distance and exclaimed, "Look!"

Everyone looked up, but saw that on the south side of the sand dune, a beast the size of a yak was standing at the top, its fur was brown and yellow, almost blending into the surrounding rolling sand dunes, its head was huge, with a mane like that of a lion, its head held high, staring at the humans below, and a pair of blue eyes showed a proud and cold light.

Most people's first reaction was that it was a lion, but the hair on the lion's body should not be that long, Song Changjin said: "Ghost mastiff...... That's a ghost mastiff......"

Lu Weilin picked up his rifle and magnified the beast's head through the scope, and found that it actually had black-brown markings on its body, and the outline of its face was more angular than that of a lion, with a broad forehead, a narrow jaw, and a prominent mouth and nose, more like a wolf with a long mane.

Before he was sure whether the ghost mastiff was going to attack them, Lu Weilin didn't shoot rashly, but he quickly entered the battle state, and from behind the sand dunes, one after another ghost mastiffs appeared, and the ghost mastiffs immediately rushed towards everyone after they gathered.

Lu Weilin no longer hesitated, aimed at the ghost mastiff that had already been locked, and shot out, the bullet hit the head of the ghost mastiff, and the ghost mastiff rolled over and fell to the ground.

Luo Lie shouted: "Follow me!" He ran towards a mausoleum on the right, there was no place to hide around them, as far as the eye could see, there were at least hundreds of ghost mastiffs, only by seizing the terrain at high places first, holding the high ground to counterattack, and only in this way could casualties be avoided to the greatest extent.

The tomb chosen by Luo Lie is not high, the overall height is only about eight meters, because of weathering, the top of the tomb has long been eroded into flat ground, which can just provide them with a foothold.

A group of people have just fled to the top of the tomb, the group of ghost mastiffs have surrounded here from all directions, fortunately they have enough ammunition, Lu Weilin, Yan Tianxin, Zhou Wenhu in the team are all sharpshooters, Zhang Longbow and Tiewa are also good at long-distance attacks, Arnold and Luo Lie are responsible for throwing grenades, and the rest are responsible for responding, although those ghost mastiffs are fierce and strong, but their bodies are not steel and iron bones after all, they can't resist the shooting of guns and bullets, and more than half of them will be killed and injured in a while.

Song Changjin also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, in fact, the ghost mastiff he said was just one of the mastiffs, this kind of mastiff usually lives in the uninhabited Gobi, does not like to live in groups, and likes to eat carrion and internal organs, it seems that the previous seriously damaged corpses were caused by them.

Zhou Wenhu and Zhao Luxin hated these cruel ghost mastiffs very much, and the two raised their guns and aimed at the ghost mastiffs below, and fired frequently.

The mastiffs suffered heavy casualties after being shot, and they began to realize that if they tried to attack them, they would not be able to attack the high ground, but would be wiped out by this group of well-armed humans, so the surviving mastiffs began to retreat.

Luo Lie reminded his companions not to go down in pursuit, but only to shoot from a distance.

Lu Weilin squatted and shot, he didn't miss a shot, and a ghost mastiff was shot by him on the spot without firing a shot, and the rest of the people stopped shooting, they didn't have such magical marksmanship at such a distance. Lu Weilin's marksmanship had a powerful deterrent effect on the ghost mastiff, and the ghost mastiff continued to retreat into the distance, returning to the place where they had just appeared.

Song Changjin muttered, "It's strange, ghost mastiffs rarely appear in this area, and it's even more unheard of to be in groups. ”

Luo Lie said: "What is recorded in the Three Springs Map?"

Song Changjin nodded and said: "This thing likes to eat carrion, is good at digging holes, likes to dig up the graves of the dead and steal carrion......" The ghost mastiff in the distance let out a terrible howl, and the howls came and went.

Zhang Changgong frowned and said, "They're calling for their companions?"

Lu Weilin fired another shot, this time it missed the target, and the ghost mastiffs had already fled out of his range.

Yan Tianxin reminded everyone: "Look at that sand pit!"

Everyone looked at the sand pit, only to see that a huge hole had collapsed in the center of the sand pit, and most of the corpses in the sand pit had fallen down just now.
