Chapter 93: The Dark Rift

Oh, my God. Bai Mei followed the hidden eyebrows, and her gaze fell on the black dry bones that were covered by the cane.

"Some of the flesh is still there, some of them are almost ashes," Kupe bent down, fingers twisting one of the forearm bones to look at it carefully, then tossing it back aside, "Some of these people have been dead for less than five days. ”

"There are all kinds of ways to die," said Yin Xinmei, "I have taken a look at it, some have had their throats cut, some have been cut in half, some have been strangled to death, some of these bodies are whole, some are mutilated—in short, there must have been a terrible massacre here." ”

"But this is not the scene after a large-scale battle," said Kupe, frowning, "the trees are intact, the branches and foliage are undamaged, there is no trampling, no slashing, no fire...... If there had been fierce fighting or massacres here not so long ago, it would not have been as quiet as it is now. ”

"Maybe the bodies were brought in from elsewhere. Hidden eyebrows thought slightly.

"It's quite possible. Kupe nodded.

"Except for those absurd legends, Captain Ku," Bai Mei lifted a thin stone on the ground, revealing a pale face underneath, and the three of them were startled for a moment, although the man was out of breath, his eyes were wide open, and the expression on his face was frozen in a state of horror, "Can you still provide some reliable clues? What is in this woods? You see, this person," Bai Mei pointed to the dead man's face, and Kupe and Yin Xinmei gathered around and crouched down, "I must have seen an extremely terrible scene before I died." ”

After a moment of silence, Yin Xinmei suddenly spoke, "He looks like he was scared to death." ”

No one answered her, but from their expressions, they all agreed with her.

What kind of scene would scare a heavily armed young man to death?

The three of them looked at each other and asked the same question in their hearts, but in the same way, none of them could give a reasonable answer for a while.

At that moment, they heard a faint click, like someone accidentally stepping on a dead branch.

The three of them were all agile men, and they suddenly flew like scattered larks to the sound, but no matter how swift they moved and how agile they reacted, the sound did not appear again, and there was not even half a figure around them, except for the birds that were alarmed by their running.

"Did you find anything?" asked Hidden Eyebrows, lowering her voice, as White Charm and Kupe walked towards her from the front, and the three of them were together again.

The trees where they were now were thicker, and although there were no bones on the ground, and no stumbling low bushes, it was a very different atmosphere from the place where they had washed and stationed, the trees seemed to be taller and thicker, and the surroundings were more and more eerie, except for their breathing and talking, the surroundings were eerily quiet, and the damp condensation of water droplets occasionally rolled down from the motionless leaves.

These branches do not shake, there are no birds, no insects, no wind and no water, but they all feel a kind of reproach, malice, and even hatred at their eyes, and in this atmosphere, everyone feels uncomfortable, almost like a man's back, and makes people tremble involuntarily.

"I didn't find anything, master. Bai Mei whispered.

"I've found nothing," Kupe said in a low-voiced voice, and in this hostile atmosphere, they always felt like they were surrounded by invisible enemies, and their voices involuntarily became lower and lower, almost whispering, "I even wonder if that kara sound was made by a raccoon or some other animal." Are we making a big fuss?"

"We didn't make a big fuss," Yin Xinmei immediately picked up, "I saw a figure flashing by, and the shadow ran towards it. ”

As she spoke, Yin Xinmei stretched out her finger and pointed, and the other two looked at her hand, only to see a small gap in the dense forest like a wall not far away, and a particularly narrow white path could be seen leading to the depths of the dense forest.

It's just that the direction of this trail is completely opposite to the southwest where they want to cross the forest, the three of them have different expressions and moods, Bai Mei is uneasy, Kupe is full of suspicion, and the hidden eyebrows may have been too heavy recently, her face is not as white as words, and after this tossing, it is as white as a shroud, and her uncharacteristically expressionless face, Kupe has been secretly observing her from the side, but he can't read anything from her expression.

"I'm going to go over and take a look. Yin Xinmei said simply, although her two companions did not ask, but the four eyes kept asking her.

"I'll go with you, master. Bai Mei said immediately.

"I'm going with you too. Kupe continued.

"No, the eunuch team will be leaderless without your leadership," said Hidden Eyebrow, "so you can't go with me, Kupe." ”

"But what if it's a trap?" asked Kupe, rhetorically, "this woods are so strange, aren't we going to destroy the Devil's Blood Diamond and join your ogre friends on the way—but are you two putting the cart before the horse now when you go after a strange figure who is eavesdropping on us?"

"Everything that happens here is not a meaningless coincidence," Yin Xinmei whispered, "I said that there is something wrong with that figure, and I will definitely find useful clues by following that shadow." You should trust my judgment, Kupe, after all, I saw the black dots, and I noticed the figure. ”

After a long time, Kupe whispered, "Okay, you're right, I'll listen to you." ”

"If, after two hours, we haven't returned," said the hidden eyebrow, "Kupe, you can continue to advance southwest with your men." ”

"But what do you do if that's the case?" asked Kupe.

"I'll be fine, at most I'll be delayed for a while," Yin Xinmei smiled at him, "Didn't we take out the Devil's Blood Diamond from the Snake Valley last time? Didn't I faint on the way up the cave, and it was up to you to carry me all the way down the hill? Since then, my instincts have become even stronger—as if the door of the Spirit Realm has opened to me, and I can strongly feel that there may be something in this gap that I need to find." ”

"In my opinion, this is not a good thing," Kupe looked skeptical and uneasy, "The farther away ordinary people are from the spirit realm, the better, I've been with Bloody Meili for four years, and I know how terrifying this kind of esoteric knowledge and otherworldly perspective is. ”

"But you forgot," said Hidden Eyebrows calmly, "I'm not an ordinary person. ”

"The daughter of the Eternal King, the only Hidden Lotus Man, the queen of many nations, the regent of Verogosa," Bai Mei added respectfully, "not to mention the spirit realm, she has also been to the underworld to save her fiancé, and the gods of heaven have summoned her, and the spiritual realm where the second heaven intersects with the first heaven is nothing to my master." ”

"Okay. Kupe lowered his head, and his eyes became complicated again as he watched the hidden eyebrows, as if he could not always connect the slender and fair-skinned girl in front of him with the astonishing array of titles and miracles.

Hidden Eyebrows and White Charm turned to leave, and were about to go into the dark gap.

"Be careful. ”

At this moment, Kupe grabbed Yin Xinmei's arm and admonished again with an uneasy look.

Yin Xinmei didn't speak, just pressed his hand that grabbed her arm, but her eyes were extremely determined, and she was using an indescribably good eloquence to calm Kupe's restless heart a little.

Kupe was left alone, watching the backs of the two girls, and his heart was mixed.
