Chapter 364 A Figure by the Woods
Chapter 364 A Figure by the Woods
Black Bear didn't find it disgusting at all; he picked out the heart separately from the pile of internal organs.
This heart was completely different from other organs; it was translucent and contained some residual fluid.
There is also a small gap on top.
Zhang Qiling silently stood up, seemingly intending to make another trip.
"Alright, if we kill any more, this team will fall apart. Let's find another opportunity to make our move on the way."
They don't know much about Venus umbrellas, but if they can grasp even one clue, they can obtain a lot of information.
But if we attack again, those monsters will probably become desperate and act recklessly, and the whole camp will be in chaos.
Zhang Qiling stopped and silently sat back down in his original spot.
In the eyes of others, Cheng Feng and his two companions had become the most abnormal of all.
The scene where Hei Xiazi dissects a human body and holds the heart in his palm is especially entertaining.
vomit~
Wu Xie was vomiting profusely in a corner of the tent.
Xiao Hua helplessly supported him from the side. He hadn't reacted much at first, but now, having been led astray by Wu Xie, he started to feel nauseous.
"Cough...cough...Little Flower, why did they kill people for no reason, and...and...ugh~"
Wu Xie vomited until tears and snot streamed down his face, but Xie Yuchen didn't show any disgust. Instead, he took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped the filth off Wu Xie's face.
"Wu Xie, this is the world of martial arts. Sometimes you don't need a reason to kill someone. To be honest, it's not too late to leave now."
Xie Yuchen's words ignited Wu Xie's stubbornness, which temporarily overcame his nausea.
Taking the tissue from Xie Yuchen, Wu Xie wiped his face vigorously twice before speaking:
“I’m not leaving. You, Xiuxiu, and my third uncle are all here. I will never leave on my own.”
Unbeknownst to the two, Wu Sansheng was watching them from their blind spot.
Wu Xie's miserable state made Wu Sansheng's eyes flash with worry, but he had no intention of showing himself.
He had been watching Wu Xie's movements all along, and had even intentionally revealed the location of their gathering point to Wu Xie.
Wu Sansheng didn't really want Wuxie to get involved in this mess, but the Wu, Xie, and Qi families had made an agreement.
That means all three families' descendants must gather before they can go to the Second Mausoleum in the World.
Taking this factor into account, Wu Sansheng left the choice to Wu Xie himself.
If Wu Xie chooses to stay at home, the pressure on the Qi family will be borne by the Wu and Jie families. Under the protection of his two third uncles, Wu Xie can live a normal life.
Unfortunately, Wu Laogou's influence on Wu Xie came into play.
Wu Sansheng watched as Wu Xie, supported by Xie Yuchen, walked into the tent before quietly leaving.
Time passed slowly amidst the crowd's discussions, and as the last ray of sunlight disappeared on the horizon, night fell.
Fires were lit in the clearing outside the woods, and those who remained coexisted harmoniously with the Venus umbrella.
One was chattering away, while the other was making constant clapping sounds. Despite the language barrier, the two were having a lively conversation.
Suddenly, a commotion interrupted their conversation.
The person who spoke to the Venus umbrella stood up and walked towards the crowd with their teammates.
As they approached, they discovered that someone had fired a flare into the woods, and everyone was startled when the light illuminated the scene.
At the edge of the woods, a dozen pale-faced people stood with their backs to them.
The bolder members of the group huddled together and headed towards the woods.
As they approached the figures, the figures moved; they stiffly turned around, and those in the distance could only see their lips move.
They seemed to have said something, and then the people who went to look for them rushed straight into the woods like madmen.
"Are they possessed? How did they suddenly disappear into the woods?"
“Those guys are acting strange. Go get your weapons and fire a burst of bullets at them to test the waters.”
Apart from Wu Xie and Huo Xiuxiu, who were tourists, the rest of the group consisted mainly of elite tomb raiders.
Seeing that something was wrong, someone immediately took out a firearm.
Bang bang bang,
The gunshots rang out louder in the darkness, the bullets striking the eerie figure at the edge of the woods with pinpoint accuracy.
The figure fell to the ground with a thud.
"Go on, take them all down first."
At the leader's shout, gunshots rang out in succession, and the dozen or so figures in front of the woods were all shot in no time.
The gunfire only stopped when no one was left standing.
At this moment, Hei Xiazi, who was watching the commotion from a distance, turned to Cheng Feng and said:
"Should I take some men over and take a look?"
"Be careful not to get caught if you stay too far away. You might just disappear into the woods, and I don't want to play hide-and-seek with you in the middle of the night."
Cheng Feng's words successfully dissuaded Hei Xiazi from joining the fun.
Although Cheng Feng stopped Hei Xiazi, some people couldn't suppress their curiosity.
For example, a naive young man.
At this moment, Wu Xie and his two companions followed the crowd to the edge of the woods.
When they got closer, they could see that the clothes worn by the fourteen people were quite old, probably from before the reform and opening up.
"Is it a zongzi?"
Huo Xiuxiu suspected that these people were already dead, and that they were standing in the woods because they had come back to life.
"No, one of them clearly said something to those people earlier."
Wu Xie stared at the corpse not far away with a furrowed brow, a strong sense of foreboding filling his heart.
At this moment, the teammate who had suddenly run into the woods earlier suggested going into the woods to rescue the people.
However, very few people responded.
Someone advised against it, saying, "It's too dangerous to search for someone in the woods at night. Let's wait until dawn."
Having found a way to back down, the person who had suggested going into the woods didn't say anything more.
The group then dragged the fourteen corpses back.
On the way, Wu Xie was somewhat downcast. The bloodshed during the day had made him realize the cruelty of the martial world, and his recent encounter had made him understand its ruthlessness.
Neither Xie Yuchen nor Huo Xiuxiu offered any words of comfort.
This is a mental journey that Wu Xie must go through, and only when he understands it will it become nourishment for his growth.
Cheng Feng wasn't interested in the corpses controlled by the Venus Umbrella and told everyone to rest early.
The next day, the sun rose as usual.
While Cheng Feng and the others were eating, Wu Sansheng sent someone to deliver something to Cheng Feng.
Last night, Wu Sansheng and his men discovered that the stomach of the corpse was bulging out, so they used a knife to cut open one of the corpses.
As a result, a large number of irregular black stones were found in the corpse's stomach.
I don't know if Wu Sansheng did it on purpose, but he just happened to deliver this thing while Cheng Feng and the others were eating.
"Tell Wu Sansheng that this is a birthmark, and tell him to find a place to bury it immediately."
Cheng Feng, looking disgusted, told Wu Sansheng's men to leave with Shi Gongzhi.
Looking at the freshly cooked rice porridge in front of him, Cheng Feng frowned and put down his chopsticks.
"I'm going out for some fresh air, you guys eat."
Everyone looked at Cheng Feng with concern.
"The head of the family..."
Seeing Huo Ling's worried look, Cheng Feng explained helplessly:
"That birthmark on the stone has accumulated the aroma of human flesh, and now the whole tent smells like that."
