"There was blood on the ground!"

Zhang Tao's expression was solemn, staring at the mottled blood stains on the ground that spread all the way to the depths of the alley, and a fine light flashed in his pupils.

Judging by the extent of these blood stains, it was less than two hours!

"Then Zheng Yucheng is probably already more than lucky." He spoke his own judgment.

At this time, no one dared to contradict his words.

Ever since they had seen the terrifying shadow tentacles with their own eyes, they had begun to believe in Zhang Tao's judgment.

"Keep up!"

After speaking, Zhang Tao turned into an afterimage and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes in an instant.

Seeing this, everyone quickened their pace and trampled on the sunny place, and those dark corners they avoided like snakes and scorpions.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Tao's figure appeared a hundred meters away, and he stopped in front of a boot that had fallen on the bluestone floor.

"This is Chu Chen's shoes..."Fang Zhibai reminded.

"He should have sensed the danger here, so he climbed out of this wall."

Zhang Tao bowed his head, his eyes resting on the gray wall beside him, and there were some slight trampling marks.

Based on his observation of Chu Chen, although the other party's cultivation was low, he had a deep means of concealing aura, coupled with a super sensitive reaction, he completely believed that the other party had fled before the danger came.

"That kid claims to be a descendant of the Holy Gate, and he must have escaped...... This shoe may have been left behind by his shadow tentacles. Zhang Tao added.

Fang Zhibai asked, "Then should we go with us?" ”

As he spoke, he looked over the two-foot-high gray and white courtyard wall.

"Don't you want to look for that lost companion?"

Zhang Tao raised his eyebrows, looked at the other party in surprise, and said, "Judging from these traces of blood dripping, the partner you want to find is very likely to be in front." ”

He had already released the fire jackdaw in advance, and observed the situation around this deep and strange alley.

Judging from the perspective of the fire jackdaw's feedback, at the corner of the alley a hundred meters away, there was a fragmented corpse.

From the bloody corpse costume, it was easy to tell that the other party was a Sky Surveyor.

"It's better to look for Zheng Yucheng, don't worry about the life or death of that thief boy!"

Hearing this, Fang Zhibai's expression froze, and he gave up pursuing Chu Chen's whereabouts without hesitation.

Whether the other party is dead or alive, he doesn't care at all.

And all he cares about is the safety and situation of his companions.

Half a column of incense after that.

Zhang Tao led everyone cautiously to the shadow where the wreckage was.

"Lao Zheng!!"

The moment they saw the corpse, Fang Zhibai and the others were shocked, and they wanted to rush up to clean up the wreckage.

But when they saw Zheng Yucheng's body shrouded in dim shadows, they were discouraged.

I saw that the corpse was dismantled, the arms, thighs and body were all cut by sharp blades, the skin disappeared, and only the scarlet flesh was exposed to the air, which was terrible.

"I'll help you!"

Seeing this, Zhang Tao looked calm, and took out a finger-thick straw rope from the bag on his waist.

He mobilized the true qi of death containing an ominous aura in his body and gathered it on the straw rope in his hand.

In an instant, the grass rope seemed to be alive, and the cold aura emitted made Fang Zhibai and the others feel terrified.

It writhed and twisted in the air, like a vine waiting for an opportunity, entangled all the creatures in front of it.

"He's got so many strange items on him!" Someone sighed.

"Seeing this straw rope, for some reason, it makes me feel suffocated..."

Everyone looked at Zhang Tao holding a strange straw rope, and couldn't help whispering and communicating with each other.

"This grass rope is also supposed to be a supernatural object, full of ominous evil powers." Fang Zhibai muttered to himself.

Meanwhile.

Zhang Tao waved the straw rope, which was the first time he used this supernatural item in his bag.

I saw that the moment the straw rope touched Zheng Yucheng's stump in the distance, it immediately wrapped and contracted, and stretched out deep lines on the wrist of the broken arm.

It's like the rope around the neck of the hanged ghost, and the more he struggles, the tighter it shrinks, until he dies.

After a while, Zhang Tao collected the fragmented corpse and placed it in the warm sun.

"The cross-cut wounds of these corpse parts, smooth and crisp, should have come from the hand of the same weapon!" Zhang Tao analyzed silently.

Fang Zhibai's face gradually froze, and he said, "Judging from the regular traces of these wounds, they are from the eight-sided iron sword specially equipped by our Heaven Survey Division. ”

"Is this someone trying to set the blame?" Someone was suspicious.

"It's possible that he committed suicide and dismantled himself!"

At this time, Zhang Tao was not shocked, and said a bold guess, saying: "Perhaps, after being completely swallowed by the darkness, he lost his sense of self and committed suicide by those weird shadow tentacles manipulating the blade!?" ”

"Skinning, dismembering...... All this because he can't control his actions! He added.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed suddenly, and they all gasped.

They looked at the high walls around them, a look of horror rose in their pupils, and the thought of leaving the place suddenly occurred in their hearts.

This place is very dangerous, and it is not advisable to stay for long!

"Damn, what the hell is this place!"

Fang Zhibai scolded in a low voice, his expression was very solemn, he looked at Zhang Tao, who was calm and composed, and proposed, "Let's get out of here quickly...... You're right, it's too dangerous for us to be a part of. ”

"Whether it's the ferocious horse bandits, or the weird and terrifying night in the town, it's all beyond our ability to deal with!"

After a pause, he said seriously: "Instead of staying here to die, we might as well return to the Heaven Survey Division and report the situation here and the terrifying monsters in the Five River Valleys!" ”

"I agree with the old party's decision!"

As soon as the words fell, the Sky Survey Guard, who had broken a few fingers, immediately echoed.

In this dangerous and strange place, he didn't want to stay for a moment.

Especially, after seeing the tragic death of their companion Zheng Yucheng, the fear in their hearts became even stronger.

"We should get out of here!" Everyone replied in unison.

"In that case, let's go!"

Zhang Tao withdrew the straw rope and felt that his arm was strangled a little painfully, and the strangulation marks were clearly visible.

Obviously, the use of supernatural items comes at a cost!

He dispersed the fiery jackdaws overhead, looked for a relatively safe direction, and said, "After this wall, we will be able to reach the bustling streets." ”

"Without further ado!"

Hearing this, everyone's faces were overjoyed, and they hurriedly urged, followed each other's pace, and disappeared into the alley behind the inn.
