Chapter 699: Where the Danger Is

In this road to heaven, the most taboo thing is to fly freely in the sky. Because there is no night in this world, only day, there are all kinds of fierce beasts and mysterious beasts everywhere at any time, and flying rashly in the sky is likely to become the target of all kinds of beasts, and may even encounter and anger the overlords in the sky. Therefore, flying in the sky on the road to heaven is definitely one of the most death-seeking behaviors.

Gou Shen and Chen Youwei pursued the bloodstains and smells, and walked a long distance all the way, and finally found the bloodstains in a clearing at the end of the forest, only to see that there seemed to be a fight here, the bodies of two people were lying there, and several birds resembling vultures were pecking at their bodies there.

"There was clearly a fight here, and it was definitely not a beast that killed people, but a human monk-like existence. Chen Youwei couldn't help frowning when he smelled the stench, and waved his hand vigorously to drive away the smell, but it had no effect at all, so he had to use Xuan Li to isolate this unpleasant smell, which made him feel much better.

The wounds, except for some that could be seen to be injuries caused by Xuan Li, some could not be seen, but those knife wounds or sword wounds were so obvious that it was easy to see at a glance that these people should have died after being fought with others.

The person who died before should have been injured very seriously after a fight, and he didn't even have time to stop the bleeding, but he finally died on the way to escape.

After all, what kind of person would do such a thing? He actually killed other monks like this? These two people's clothes are different, they are clearly not disciples of Duan Tianmen, they are also disciples of other sects in Zhongzhou, Gou Shen has already keenly felt that the problem this time does not seem to be due to the road to heaven, maybe it is because there is something wrong with these people.

"Let's go, these corpses are already stinking, it is estimated that they have been dead for a long time like the person just now!" Chen Youwei said with a sigh, his eyes revealing deep worry, but he had already seen three corpses in a short time after he came, it seems that the situation here is not only not optimistic, it is simply miserable!

"No, these people should not have been dead for long!" Gou Shen shook his head and said his opinion. Seeing Chen Youwei's puzzled gaze, Gou Shen explained: "That kind of vulture-like creature likes to eat rotten meat the most, and they didn't rush to eat it when they came over just now, but just pecked a few times, indicating that these corpses have not rotted yet, but have just begun to emit a stench." The fastest update and the most stable) Moreover, this world has two suns rising alternately, the temperature is much higher than ours in that world, and the speed at which the corpses decay and stink is also much faster, so it shouldn't be too long for these corpses to die. ”

"So, the killer shouldn't be very far away from here, right?"

"It's hard to say. By the way, do you know how many people have entered the path to heaven this time?"

"This, I've heard others say that there are about thirty people in our Duan Tianmen ourselves, and if you count all the people in other sects, there are about a hundred people?"

"So many?" Hearing this number, Gou Shen's forehead was also very surprised, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed to be about the same. After all, this Zhongtong Domain is the best cultivation place in the entire continent, there are countless strong people of all kinds, and all kinds of geniuses have emerged, plus it is really reasonable for all kinds of geniuses from all over the world to have such a number of geniuses arrive.

Now, the situation is very unclear, these two corpses are almost the only clues for the two, Gou Shen can't help but set his eyes on the two corpses again, but finally found some abnormal circumstances.

Because, both corpses had a cut in their heads. At first, Gou Shen didn't notice this detail, after all, the two corpses, no one was interested in appreciating them carefully, but Gou Shen looked carefully just now, but he found that the wound on the head was extremely smooth, not like a normal injury during the fight at all, but like it was artificially cut after killing them.

What is the reason for this?

After studying the two corpses for a long time, Gou Shen never found anything else, and Gou Shen finally used his Xuan Force to blow up a big pit in the ground, threw the corpses of these two people into it, and buried them. It's better to bury it in the soil than to let the other party be in the wilderness, and if Gou Shen doesn't stop researching, then Chen Youwei probably has to wonder if Gou Shen has any special habits for corpses.

However, a few vultures in the trees were very dissatisfied with Gou Shen's behavior, and when they saw that the food in their mouths was so gone, they squeaked and flew away.

But almost at this time, Gou Shen discovered a more immediate problem, that is, the mysterious power of this world was unusually thin. Or it can't be said to be thin, but there is another force in this world that cannot be absorbed by Gou Shen and others, and the Xuan Li is only a small amount of it, and it is not enough to absorb it at all and restore the consumed Xuan Power.

"There is very little Xuan Power here, so you must be cautious and careful when using Xuan Power, and don't overuse it, otherwise the situation will be very dangerous. Before Gou Shen came here, he didn't hear Li Er mention this, so he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, and opened his mouth to remind Chen Youwei, Chen Youwei's face was also tight, and he nodded solemnly.

Xuan Li is the life of Xuan Xiu, if the Xuan Li is sufficient, as long as he does not die, there will be almost no injuries that cannot be recovered, but if the Xuan Li is exhausted, then the life of Xuan Xiu is more fragile than rotten wood, this problem cannot be ignored.

Out of this forest, it is a wasteland with gravel hills, but when you look around, it is still like a forest. Gou Shen raised his eyes and looked around, and found that there was a mountain peak in a certain direction, thinking that the weather was very sunny and the visibility was very high, and Gou Shen could even faintly see that there were buildings on it, so he had the idea of going to see it.

He felt that there was a good chance that something would be discovered over there!

"Let's go over there. Gou Shen said, and he didn't wait for Chen Youwei to agree, he just went directly in that direction, as if he was just telling Chen Youwei just now, and he was not asking for the other party's opinion.

"I said, Gou Shen, let's better find a few people to talk about it, it seems to be very evil here, so many genius masters have died here, we are not safe here!"

"Hey, Gou Shen, wait for me!"

Gou Shen heard Chen Youwei's words, but he suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Chen Youwei and asked again: "There is one more thing I want to ask you, among the people who have entered the road to heaven this time, what is the cultivation of the person with the highest cultivation, do you know?"

"Well, I know this, that is our senior brother Duan Tianfeng, his cultivation is already a half-step Xuan Emperor's peak cultivation, and he may be promoted to Xuan Emperor at any time, in addition, there are several Xuan King peak existences, all of whom are infinitely close to Xuan Emperor, come here to find an opportunity, Gou Shen, why are you asking this?"

"Why do you ask this? Haven't you noticed it yet? The real danger lies not in the other problems here, but in the other people who have come to the path to heaven!"

Gou Shen said, glanced at him, turned around, and continued walking. Chen Youwei was a little unclear, so he hurriedly caught up with Gou Shen and asked, "Hey, Gou Shen, you can be clear, what's going on?"

Gou Shen said slowly as he walked: "Although there are dangers in this road to heaven, it is definitely not a place of death, but those places with treasures hide great dangers, if you are cautious and want to save your life, it is not difficult at all! Moreover, there is no problem at the intersection of the road to the sky, but those people have no way to come back, don't you feel a little strange?"

"Are you saying that there is no problem with this road to heaven, but the geniuses who have come here to experience it are killing each other?" Chen Youwei was not a stupid person, and he quickly understood the meaning of Gou Shen, and couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Or what do you think? If I'm not mistaken, maybe some anti-heaven and earth treasure was born and caused everyone to fight, or maybe everyone was controlled by some strange thing, so they did this kind of cannibalistic thing. ”

"In this path to heaven, there are all kinds of strange beasts, but there will never be human monks, because the mysterious power here is too rare, but those people just now clearly died in the hands of human monks, what do you think is the reason for this?"

After Gou Shen finished speaking, he stopped talking, and Chen Youwei also shut up and began to think, feeling that what Gou Shen said was very reasonable.

No wonder, Emperor Duan Tianxuan kept explaining before leaving, after coming here, everything must obey Gou Shen's arrangement, it seems that this Gou Shen does have two brushes! Ordinary monks are all obsessed with cultivation, especially in this Heavenly Gate, all kinds of cultivation resources are quite abundant, ordinary people rarely go outside to contact all kinds of things, and their experience is much less, not at all as agile and meticulous as Gou Shen.

Chen Youwei glanced at Gou Shen's back, and began to admire Gou Shen more and more in his heart, feeling that although Gou Shen's cultivation was a little lower, it might really be a wiser choice to walk with Gou Shen by himself.

But suddenly, Chen Youwei's heart began to be scared again.

Danger is not only in the environment, but at this moment, the other monks have become the greatest danger. So, how should I face other monks in the future? There is also the question that Gou Shen asked just now, the highest cultivation among the monks is already a half-step Emperor Xuandi peak powerhouse, half a year has passed, it is very likely that he has encountered some chance, or swallowed pills, absorbed spirit stones, and cultivated to the level of Emperor Xuan.

If such a person did it to himself, how sure would he be that he would escape? In an instant, Chen Youwei's back began to feel a little cold, and he felt that he was not here to save those monks, but to send them to death.
