Chapter 176: Probe
After hearing this, Yezhou became more and more solemn, her sense of smell was sensitive, and the smell of blood on An Xin's body was very unusual, she naturally knew what kind of blood it was.
"The blood on your body can't be the blood of the demons, are you? Are you injured? Could it be that the demons inside are going crazy again?"
Shen Xiu was a little worried, but An Xin shook his head and said with a flat face: "The blood on my body is indeed demonic, but I am not injured, or I haven't seen a living demon along the way." ”
"What does that mean?"
"The forest of innocence was ordered to be blocked, and no one dared to approach it in a dangerous place, even if I could only patrol in the outermost circle, today I saw that the situation was not right and went in to probe, who knows how long I didn't get closer, there were many demon corpses in the forest, and the blood on my body was found when I checked the corpse. ”
As soon as these words came out, several people present were a little shocked.
"Why are there demon corpses inside? Could it be that someone is killing demons inside?" asked Yazhou.
"It shouldn't be, this time there is a big trouble, it is the president of the Tianquan Guild who ordered the blockade of the forest of no reason, I am afraid that no one in the entire Rongcheng will dare to disobey the president's order, and the demons inside are extremely fierce, ordinary people will definitely die if they enter, let alone kill so many demons. ”
Speaking of this, An Xin paused for a few seconds, and then said: "I have examined their corpses, it is a little strange, the scars on their bodies are not caused by ordinary people, but like the traces left by their cannibalism, the wounds are extremely hideous, almost tearing people apart, a little strange." ”
"No way, demons don't kill each other. ”
Yezhou denied the other party's words, Lu Wu had said this in front of her more than once, at first she may not believe it, but as the demon blood in her body began to appear, she could also feel that there was a certain connection between the demon bloodlines, so that not killing her own clan had become an instinct, otherwise Lu Wu would not have followed her all the time.
An Xin didn't think much about it, and shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "The matter hasn't been clarified yet, so it's hard to make a conclusion for the time being, but it is said that the demons there are crazy, and it is not impossible to kill each other." ”
Yezhou fell silent when she heard this, this matter was more serious than she imagined, could it be that what really happened to the demons in the Forest of Innocence?
Xu noticed the solemnity on Yezhou's face, Shen Xiu stared at her for a while, and proposed with a smile: "Since we are all interested in this matter, why don't we go to the Forest of Innocence together later?"
Yezhou was stunned, raised his eyes to look at her, and before she could speak, An Xin frowned and said: "You said this with a relaxed face, I have already told you what the situation is in the Forest of Innocence, I can't imagine the danger inside, do you still want to go in and die?"
"What are you doing so worried, isn't it still you, besides, there is no waste here, and we don't go deeper, and we won't encounter any danger when we look outside, or are you not sure to protect our safety?" Shen Xiu asked with a smile.
"I see that you obviously want to embarrass me, the Forest of Innocence is heavily guarded, you can enter if you say you can go in?"
"The people next to you may not be able to, you are the vice president of the Heavenly Power Guild, you still have this right, right?"
Shen Xiu smiled brightly, as if he was determined to go to the Forest of Innocence to take an adventure, and An Xin had no choice but to agree.
"If you want to go, go ahead, just this time, remember to be careful, if something really happens, it's not a joke. ”
Shen Xiu nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Ye Zhou and Su Jing opposite: "Do you two want to go together?"
Yezhou pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Then let's go together." ”
The situation in the Forest of Innocence is a little weird now, and she really can't let go of it, but her current body is struggling to even evade the guards, and if she really encounters danger, she really has no confidence in self-preservation.
Su Jing is a thief, but she can go in without knowing it, but it is dangerous inside, she can't let the other party go into danger alone, and now there is an opportunity to enter openly, of course she can't miss it.
After a few people finished lunch in the Shen Mansion, they got up and left together, An Xin changed his clothes and walked towards the forest of innocence, this forest was not the first time they came, but it was extremely familiar, but the feeling was very different from before.
Yezhou carefully observed the surroundings, and soon noticed that something was wrong, and said softly, "It's so quiet. ”
"Of course it's quiet, something happened in the forest, most of the demons and monsters went to the depths, the periphery was guarded by our people, no one dared to step in, even the insects and birds in the forest were frightened and hidden, there was no sound, it was really weird to look at. An Xin said.
"Where did you find the corpse of the demon beast?" asked Yezhou.
"Not far ahead, I've had the corpses taken away and disposed of, and I can still smell some blood in the air. ”
"Indeed, the smell of blood in this area is extremely strong, and it only smells of demons, not people. Shen Xiu said.
Su Jing was a little puzzled: "What can it mean?"
"In the process of fighting with demons, people will definitely release soul power, and when the soul power sweeps over, it will leave a certain trace around, and this trace can detect the smell for a certain period of time, but there is no here, indicating that these dead demons do not think they are killed. Shen Xiu said.
"Maybe it's just because they've been dead for a while, and the smell has dissipated. ”
Shen Xiu glanced at An Xin next to him and said: "When An Xin came back before, I observed the traces on his body, the blood was stained evenly, if the corpse had been dead for a while, An Xin's clothes would have obvious dry lumps, judging by the state of the blood, those demons died for no more than two hours." ”
Hearing this, Su Jing nodded suddenly in realization: "So those demons are really killing each other?"
"I can't say for sure, I have to go deeper and go deeper, there are too few traces of clues in this vicinity, and I think that demons should rarely appear in this area in the recent period, and their range of activities is still further inside. ”
"Then we have to continue walking inside? What if there are a lot of demons gathered in it? Let's just a few people, are you sure you don't want to bring more people in?"
Su Jing was a little worried, his combat purpose has always been to run, it is not his character to go up in the face of difficulties, if he stabs into the demon's lair at that time, even if he inserts his wings, he will not be able to escape.
