Chapter 41: The Corpse Is Found

Green mountains and green waters, babbling streams. By the stream, four figures went upstream, looking left and right, as if looking for something.

I just searched for a long time, but I still didn't find anything.

Chen Heng couldn't help but wonder: "It's really strange, how could it be that he didn't find it, even if he didn't find anyone, at least he should leave some clues, right?"

Su Ling guessed, "Could that veil be blown from somewhere else?"

Chen Heng shook his head and said: "There are many trees on Mangcang Mountain, and it is impossible for the plan to blow from afar, but you gave me a reminder, maybe this veil came from somewhere nearby." A little further on, if we haven't found it yet, we go back and expand the scope of our search. ”

Everyone nodded, and suddenly found that Chen Heng was looking straight ahead, with a somewhat strange expression.

Xiao Bai just wanted to open his mouth to ask, but as far as his eyes could see, he found that something seemed to be floating on the water in front of him, and because the distance was still relatively far, he could only see a gray thing.

"That's ......"

Chen Heng raised his head slightly, "Let's go, go over and have a look!"

Everyone thought they had found a clue and hurriedly walked forward.

Soon, they saw that the gray thing was—

"Ahh......hh Dead man!!"

Su Ling's screams also made the others nervous, on this Mangcang Mountain, there were crises everywhere, and dead people suddenly appeared in the stream, could it be that there were some powerful brute beasts ahead?

Chen Heng said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, think about the situation we have come all the way, even if there is danger, it may not be impossible to deal with it." ”

After listening to Chen Heng's words, everyone was really relieved.

Indeed, although it had only been a few days since they came to Mangcang Mountain, there were several brute beasts that had died at their hands.

Even if there was a real danger, with their strength, it would be enough to deal with it in the periphery where there were no high-level brute beasts.

"Su Fan, follow me, fish him up, and see what you can find!"

"Good!"

Su Fan is not afraid, for him, human corpses and brute beast corpses are actually not much different, they are just creatures that have lost their vitality, and they will not jump up and bite people.

Together with Su Fan, Chen Heng carefully carried the corpse to the shore.

On closer inspection, it was a man in his thirties, his body had long been stiff, his skin was white, and some of the wounds on his body had rotted.

This person seems to be a subordinate of a certain force, dressed in servant clothes, not outstanding, and has no long body.

Chen Heng checked it a little and said in a deep voice: "This person was sealed by a sword, and the blood clot from the wound has coagulated, so he should have been dead for several days." However, the body has not been soaked in the water for a long time, and I am afraid that it was thrown into the water not long ago. ”

Xiao Bai endured the discomfort and asked, "There was a heavy rain just yesterday, could it be that the water rushed down from a high place because of the surge in water?"

Chen Heng nodded and said, "Very likely!"

"Chen Heng, look, there's still in the water!"

Hearing Su Fan's shout, Chen Heng hurriedly looked back, and sure enough, there was another corpse floating on the water, slowly floating down the current.

Chen Heng frowned slightly, and raised his head to Su Fan, who understood.

Chen Heng and Su Fan once again acted as corpse carriers, carrying the corpse to the side.

The corpse was also a man, dressed as a servant, but the clothes were noticeably different from the previous one, pale cyan in color, and the quality of the fabric was better.

His body was sturdy, and he held a long sword in his hand, which should have been practiced. It's just that there are multiple wounds on the body, mostly on the back, and there is even a large piece of flesh missing from the back of the neck, which looks extremely terrifying, and there is a chance that it was bitten to death by brute beasts.

Before he had time to think about it, another corpse appeared on the water.

The third corpse was dressed in the same clothes as the first, except that it was a female corpse, presumably in her thirties, who had also been wounded by a sword, and the fatal wound was in the chest and heart.

Except for some women's hair combs and gouache, nothing else was found on her body. It seems that he is a person who loves beauty very much, and even when he comes to this dangerous mountain, he does not forget to dress up.

"There's no end to it!!"

When the fourth corpse appeared, Su Ling was already a little gagging.

She kept holding Xiaobai's arm tightly and hiding behind her, her delicate body trembled slightly, and her face was a little pale.

In fact, Xiaobai's face is not better than hers, but she has been holding back.

Because Xiaobai knows very well the truth of survival of the fittest, if you want to live for a long time, you must adapt to various environments.

Chen Heng glanced at the two of them and did not let them leave.

Ever since he participated in the hunt in Guiyun Mountain, he had understood a truth.

No matter what the situation is, you need to keep a calm heart, which is likely to save his life at a critical moment.

The current situation is an opportunity to exercise the mind, and there will be no danger.

The fourth corpse was also a middle-aged man of about forty years old, dressed in gray servant clothes, with only some necessities for survival in the wild, such as flint and steel, and nothing else, died under the magic of the monk.

Then, they found the fifth, sixth, and even seventh corpses, and Chen Heng and the others simply stopped and waited for the corpses to be retrieved.

The fifth and sixth bodies appeared at the same time, and they clung to each other until death, biting each other, and finally were wounded by the monk's spell and died together.

As for the seventh corpse, it should be the monk who performed the spell.

On him, Chen Heng found a manuscript of "Qi Refining Formula". It was hard for him to be able to cultivate with a manuscript, but in the end he died under the claws of the brute beast.

From the seven corpses, nothing of value was found, but the four corpses dressed in gray were similar to the subordinates they had seen in the Divine Soldier Villa.

It's just that many families in the Mandu Domain don't have accurate plans for the costumes of their subordinates, so most of them are not much different, and Chen Heng is not sure that these four people must be from Shenbing Mountain Villa.

In the end, Chen Heng only came to a simple conclusion, they should be two groups of people fighting against each other, and at the same time fighting against the barbarians, the result would be like this.

"These two groups don't know why they are fighting in such a place, it's really disgusting!"

Su Fan shook his head and sighed.

Chen Heng sighed lightly: "Judging from the injuries on their bodies, the battle is extremely fierce, you see those two people, they refuse to let go even to death, I am afraid that there are some irresolvable contradictions between the two sides." Since they all want each other to die, how can they care about the surrounding environment?"

"Why are you talking so much, since you haven't found out, let's leave! I can't stand it anymore, you're still grinding here. ”

Su Ling poked his head out from behind Xiao Bai and said to Chen Heng and the others dissatisfied.

Xiaobai hesitated: "Isn't it good to just leave?" I think it's better to bury them!"

Su Ling was embarrassed for a moment, but finally nodded, and secretly thought in his heart: Xiaobai's heart is really good!

Chen Heng and Su Fan naturally had no opinion, since they had found these corpses, they couldn't just throw them here.

So several people dug a pit not far from the stream and buried several corpses here.

Originally, Su Ling was still a little hesitant, but when he saw that Xiaobai also went over to help, he endured the uncomfortable feeling and helped together.

After doing all this, Chen Heng and the others walked upstream along the side of the stream again.

Just a few steps away, Chen Heng's eyes suddenly froze, "And?!"

Su Fan turned his head to look at Chen Heng and hesitated, "Shall we continue fishing?"

Since nothing has been found, and the other bodies have been buried, it seems that there is little point in continuing to fish.

Chen Heng pondered for a moment and said, "This should be the last one, let's be a good person to the end!"

Su Fan didn't refuse, nodded, and walked across the stream to the corpse.

On the side, Xiaobai looked at Su Ling a little helplessly, and said, "Miss Su, can you not hold my arm so tightly, it hurts me." ”

"I'm afraid!"

Hearing Xiaobai say this, Su Ling grabbed it tighter instead, with a frightened expression on his face.

Xiaobai was helpless, so he could only pretend not to care.

It's just that he didn't see that a trace of cunning light flashed in Su Ling's eyes.

Su Fan was carrying the corpse and was about to walk to the place where the corpse was buried just now, when Chen Heng suddenly sighed lightly and said, "Wait a minute!"

Chen Heng stepped forward and motioned for Su Fan to put the body on the ground, took a closer look, and found that although this person was also covered with scars, the blood in the wound had not coagulated.

"This man seems to be alive!"

Chen Heng folded his hands on the man's chest and pressed hard a few times to help him press out the water that had been inhaled into his lungs.

Sure enough, after only a few presses, the man suddenly spit out a few mouthfuls of stream water and woke up slowly.

Seeing that this person was really alive, Chen Heng and the others' faces suddenly showed a hint of joy.

The man slowly opened his eyes, looked around, and after being confused for a moment, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and hurriedly grabbed Chen Heng's hand, and said eagerly: "Please, save the little ...... Little ......"

didn't take a breath, his head tilted, and the hand holding Chen Heng fell down weakly.

Everyone's faces changed, and Chen Heng hurriedly pressed his chest again, but the faint beating that was still there had completely stopped at this time.

"Dead?!" Chen Heng frowned slightly, and finally got some clues, but the other party died like this.

Su Fan said: "Save the little one, what is the little one, is it the young lady?"

"It's a pity that we didn't bring the people of the Luo family with us, otherwise we would have known!" Chen Heng sighed lightly and said, "Let's go back to the front to find out, since there have been battles, we can always find some clues." ”

The group set out again and walked up the stream, but there were no more bodies or anything else on the way.

After walking for more than half an hour, the creek had come to an end. At the end, a huge waterfall rushed down in front of them.

The waterfall rushes straight down, the sound is like thunder, surging roaring, agitating and churning.

The water rushed down, like the Milky Way pouring down, hitting the stones at the root of the mountain, hitting pieces and stirring up thousands of splashes, which turned into colorful droplets of water in the sun.

The corpse, could it be that it was washed down from the waterfall?
