Chapter 300: The Moon is Dark and the Wind is High and the Night of Murder

What Yu Mo saw was a corpse, a dead person, so it wasn't Su Wen.

This is the lakeside, not the foot of the iceberg, so the deceased is not Chai Ping, but someone else.

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely solemn.

Yu Mo took the lead in stimulating his imperial book position, leading Bilu to rise to the sky, pinching the chess pieces at his fingertips with one hand, and taking cautious steps, he came to the front of the corpse.

Under the light of talent, the corpse's face looked extremely ghostly, as if it was smiling faintly, and its thin cheeks were annoyed with a glowing green light, like a dry corpse in a tomb that had been weathered for many years.

Yu Mo took his gaze away from the deceased's face and landed on the clothes the other party was wearing.

That's not the standard uniform of the Seven Academies.

This shows that this person must be from one of the three countries of Liao, Yan and Loulan.

But which country is the student, Yu Mo can't recognize it, in fact, let alone him, even if Su Wen is standing here now, I'm afraid he won't be able to recognize it.

Because this person's appearance has changed drastically compared to when he was alive.

Not only did the whole person shrink in a circle, but the shriveled skin was stuck to the bones, and the face was folded with fine and crowded folds, and from a distance, it looked like an old man of eighty or ninety years old.

Yu Mo turned his head to look at Meng Yun and said in a low voice, "Help me watch some." ”

Then he crouched down and reached out to untie the deceased's robe, revealing a patch of gray and wrinkled skin.

There was not a single wound on the body, and there was not a trace of blood on the ground. It's hard to figure out how he died, and more importantly. The satisfied smile on the corner of the deceased's mouth seemed to tell everyone that he died without pain and willingly.

A moment later, Yu Mo stood up from the ground, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

Meng Yun took the initiative to lean forward and asked in a low voice, "What do you see?"

Yu Mo shook his head. Just as they were about to say something, they saw that Gojo and Zixi, who had been lagging behind them, also walked up.

Seeing this, Yu Mo had no intention of competing again. Instead, he silently took two steps back and let Zixi and the two over.

"Ahh

An exclamation sounded from Gojo's mouth, and little Lori seemed to be frightened by the scene in front of her, and quickly took a few steps back. Cover your eyes with your hands. Don't dare to look at it again.

For these proud sons of the sky, they have seen a lot of dead people, but it is really rare to see such a strange death, even Yu Mo also felt a chill in his vest before, and his face was a little pale, not to mention Wujo?

However, the unexpected is that. is also a girl, but Zixi doesn't look like she's making a fuss. Instead, he squatted down like Yu Mo before and carefully checked the situation of the corpse.

At this moment, even Yu Mo couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and secretly said in his heart: "What a stupid and bold person!"

Compared with Yu Mo, Zixi's observations are more nuanced, and the conclusions drawn are closer to the truth.

"The biggest possibility for him should be from Liao, and the cause of death should be that he was drained of blood. ”

In the previous sentence, Zixi said more conservatively, but it was reasonable, because she once met two Yan people with Su Wen and cut off their left arm, but the left arm of this corpse was intact, so the probability of this person being a Yan country person is very low.

In addition, when she was outside the Yellow Crane Tower, she was deeply impressed by the scene of Shen Mu teasing the girl of Loulan Country who was stunned, so even if the deceased was a little smaller, it would never be the northwest man named Xiaosi.

Combining these two judgments, the possibility that the deceased came from the Liao State is indeed the greatest.

And Zixi's last sentence was categorical, perhaps in order to prove her judgment, she didn't even hesitate at all, she picked up the jade pen in her hand and slashed at the corpse's chest.

"Sneer......"

The sharp edge of the pen was like a sharp sword to cut open the skin on the deceased's chest, revealing the white bones inside, as well as the shrunken and blackened organs, however, not half a drop of blood flowed out.

Zixi's guess was right, this person was sucked dry of blood all over his body before he died.

Seeing this, Yu Mo immediately spit out three words from his mouth.

"Peacock Bat!"

Yu Mo's response was very fast, but it didn't mean that he was talking nonsense, in fact, his guess was also very tenable.

The peacock bat is a mid-level demon beast, its bloodthirsty habits are well known, and compared with other demon beasts that also live by sucking blood, the biggest feature of the peacock bat is that after sucking the blood of the prey, its bite marks will gradually disappear, just like the corpse in front of everyone now.

But Yu Mo's answer, now in the Yellow Crane Tower, has a very fatal flaw.

"Not peacock bats. ”

Surprisingly, it was not Zixi who refuted Yu Mo's words, but Gojo, who had been hiding behind everyone and looked weak and afraid.

Yu Mo was stunned, and then thought of the reason, because since they entered the Yellow Crane Tower, no one had ever seen a single demon beast, whether it was the grassland on the first layer, the Gobi on the second layer, or the field on the fifth layer!

Judging from the death of this person, it is naturally not due to the collapse of the Yellow Crane Tower, and if it is not the monster beast's doing, then there is only one answer left.

It's artificial!

No one said this, but the faces of the four people became extremely grim.

In the end, Meng Yun said four words in a deep voice, and came to the final conclusion for this unexpected discovery.

"Be careful. ”

When these words fell, the four of them did not speak again, and even Yu Mo, who had always been talkative, stopped his voice, and unconsciously, the relationship between the four seemed to become more tense.

He took two steps back gently, timidly avoiding Meng Yun and Yu Mo's gaze, and also kept a certain distance from Zixi.

The lazy smile on Yu Mo's face disappeared, he licked his somewhat dry lips, and moved without a trace, guarding Meng Yun beside him.

It's also a bit of a coincidence that the four people who appear on the shore of the lake now are all from four different countries, which also leads to the fact that at this moment, none of them can trust each other.

Because the corpse appeared on the shore of the lake, and the four of them were the four closest people to here, would there be a murderer in them?

No one knows.

At this time, no one can convince anyone, so they can only stalemate in place, once they make a mistake, they will be targeted!

If this scene is seen by the barefoot young man, I don't know if he will laugh off his big teeth, maybe this is what the demon high priest said, people's hearts.

In fact, the same scene does not only take place on the shores of lakes, or in the mountains and forests, or on the side of snow and ice, but every once in a while, one or several shriveled corpses will appear.

The cause of death of these people is the same, they are all sucked up in blood, and they all die with a satisfied smile and a peaceful or calm face.

It has been less than two hours since the collapse of the Yellow Crane Tower, but nearly half of the students of the Ten Kingdoms who entered the Holy Pagoda this time have already been lost! Moreover, most of these people did not die of natural disasters like Chai Ping, but of man-made disasters!

No one knows how these people died, and who killed them, and the students of all countries of the human race have pointed the finger at each other, at this time, no one dares to believe anyone, even if it is the new four great talents, even if it is the same sect in their own country, they are also wary of each other.

In such a situation, many people choose to go alone, and naturally become the next prey, dying silently.

Once death begins, it never ends until the hunters find the prey they need most, or slaughter the entire Yellow Crane Tower.

This night is the sixth night since the opening of the Yellow Crane Tower, and it is also the first night of the birth of a new world in the building.

The bright moon was still hidden in the sky, but no one could see the three black shadows walking in the night.

Except for one person.

Haoma did not go to find Su Wen's traces as Xun Chen expected, on the contrary, from the very beginning, he caught three figures invading from outside the Yellow Crane Tower.

But he did nothing, just quietly followed behind them.

He followed the three of them across the lakeside, through the jungle, through the mire, over the snowy mountains, he watched the future of the human race die one by one at the hands of the three of them, but he was indifferent and treated him coldly.

He didn't even give the Terran boys a warning.

He just looked at it and wrote it down.

Just like the conversation between the Demon High Priest and Huang Tingjian in the Nebula Corridor, his position has never changed, and the two do not help each other and owe each other.

It wasn't until he sensed that a wave of holy intent appeared in the southwest direction, and his footsteps finally couldn't help but pause, and when he raised his head again, the three people in front of him had disappeared without a trace.

Haoma pondered for a moment, then turned and galloped toward the lake to the southwest.

At this time, he didn't know that his turn would be a mistake for a hundred years. (To be continued......)
