Chapter 738 The Sun and Moon Under the Same Sky!
Chapter 738 The Sun and Moon Under the Same Sky!
Han Li remained silent for a moment, then looked at Shi Hao again and asked, "Brother Shi Hao, you are the protagonist of this world, so why don't you make the decision?"
Shi Hao thought for a moment and said, "I have been to the Kunpeng Nest in the lower realm. There are indeed many rare resources there, especially some rare medicinal herbs. So I think we should still go and take a look... However, whether that place is the nest of the Ten Fiends or not, we can only draw a conclusion after we go there."
Upon hearing Shi Hao's reply, Lin Dong immediately became excited: "That's more like it, Brother Shi Hao, I've been waiting for you to say that!"
Luo Feng nodded in agreement: "It's good to go and take a look. Although the Ten Fiends' Nest is dangerous, there shouldn't be any major problems on the outside. We can explore the outside first, without going too deep. If there really is a danger there that we can't handle, it's not too late to retreat then."
Seeing that everyone wanted to go, Han Li didn't want to spoil the fun any longer, so he picked up where Luo Feng left off and said, "Since Brother Shi Hao has made his decision, I won't say any more. But I'll make this clear beforehand: if you encounter any danger, don't fight head-on. Survival is the most important thing."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Shi Hao turned to look at Lan Yichen and asked, "Do you know the location of the Ten Fiends' lair?"
Lan Yichen nodded: "I know. It's not far from Bright City. It's about a half-day's journey to the east. I can lead the way."
Shi Hao's gaze sharpened: "Alright, let's go now."
After everyone finished packing, they left Bright City without hesitation, led by Lan Yichen, and sped eastward at top speed.
Shi Hao saw some cultivators on the road.
But when the monks saw them, they all kept their distance and dared not approach.
Seeing this, Shi Hao was not surprised.
In this ancient and mysterious realm, murder and treasure-hunting dramas unfold every day.
They are quite numerous now, and they are in a hurry, so others will naturally be wary when they see them.
Half a day later.
Led by Lan Yichen, Shi Hao and the others arrived at a huge valley.
This valley is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with a flat basin in the middle, and a huge cave entrance in the very center of the basin.
The cave entrance was dark and bottomless, yet it exuded a chilling aura.
"This is it..."
Lan Yichen pointed to the hole and said.
Shi Hao and the others exchanged a glance, and then immediately walked forward.
However, when they approached the cave entrance, they found that something was wrong with the surrounding environment.
The old trees here are dense and towering into the clouds, their branches and leaves blocking out the sun completely, clearly making it a desolate place.
Moreover, an eerie atmosphere permeated the air, sending chills down one's spine.
"Look at the sky!"
Just then, the Moon Jade Rabbit suddenly pointed to the sky and exclaimed in surprise.
Everyone looked up and saw that ten suns appeared in the sky at the same time.
Beside those suns, there were thirty-three blood-red moons hanging in the sky, radiating an eerie light.
The simultaneous appearance of ten suns and the illumination of thirty-three blood moons added an eerie and mysterious aura to this lair.
"What kind of hellhole is this?"
This was the first time Lin Dong had ever seen such a celestial phenomenon, and he immediately frowned: "The sun and moon are in the same sky, and there are so many of them, what exactly is going on?"
Han Li said solemnly, "These are not the real sun and moon. They should be the manifestation of some kind of restriction in the Ten Fiends' Nest. Such anomalies often foreshadow great misfortune. Everyone be careful." Shi Hao nodded, and then directly took out Di Chong's Void Battle Halberd.
Di Chong gifted the Void Battle Halberd to his servant, who had previously been killed by him.
As spoils of war, the Void Halberd naturally became his.
Compared to the broken sword that Master Gui had given him before, he felt that this halberd was much more convenient to use.
Holding his halberd, Shi Hao scanned his surroundings and suddenly noticed several corpses lying on the ground.
The corpses lay scattered on the ground, their clothes tattered and some even rotting, revealing their bones.
Judging from the clothing of the corpses, these people should be the monks who had entered the lair with them to explore earlier.
"Someone died here."
Luo Feng squatted down and examined one of the corpses: "This person hasn't been dead for long, at most a day or two. His storage bag is still there, which means he wasn't robbed. He must have been killed by something here."
Qian Renxue frowned and asked, "Do they have any wounds?"
Luo Feng examined the body and shook his head, saying, "There are no obvious external injuries, the bones are intact, and the internal organs are not damaged."
Qin Hao's expression changed: "Could it be that their souls have all been extracted..."
Qingyi took over the conversation, her expression grave. "The Ten Fiends' lair contains remnants of their divine will. These divine thoughts specifically attack a person's soul. Once struck, the soul is extracted, leaving the body an empty shell. It seems these people were killed by the Ten Fiends' divine will."
Lin Dong swallowed hard, looked at the corpses lying haphazardly around him, and couldn't help but say, "So many corpses, at least dozens, and they all died in the same way. If this was done by the divine sense of the Ten Fiends, it's too terrifying."
Shi Hao was silent for a moment before saying, "Let's continue to go further in and take a look. Everyone be careful and don't leave the group."
The group nodded solemnly, then continued to follow Shi Hao toward the cave entrance.
However, the further they went, the more corpses they found on the ground.
Some of the bodies lay on the roadside, some lay face down on the ground, and some leaned against tree trunks, each in a different posture, but all of them died in the same way.
There were no external injuries, but his eyes were vacant.
They all seemed to have had their souls ripped out by something.
"strangeness."
Luo Dao suddenly stopped and pointed to an area in front of him, saying, "Look... those corpses are piled up together, as if they were deliberately placed there, not that they fell down naturally."
The crowd looked in the direction he was pointing and saw dozens of corpses piled up in an open space ahead, like a small mountain.
Their bodies were intertwined, their limbs twisted, their postures bizarre, giving people a creepy feeling.
Looking at the corpses, Lan Yichen swallowed hard, his face pale. "These people don't seem to have died while escaping. It's more like they were gathered together and then killed."
Luo Feng said in a deep voice, "If they had encountered a calamity, they should have scattered and fled. The fact that they are gathered together can only mean one thing: someone did this on purpose."
Han Li said, "Sixth Brother is right. It seems that there are not only the remnants of the Ten Fiends' divine thoughts in this Ten Fiends' lair, but also something else. Everyone must be very careful."
The Lunar Jade Rabbit, hiding behind Cao Yusheng, was trembling with fear as it listened to Han Li and Luo Feng's conversation: "Fatty, I'm so scared, this place is terrifying."
Cao Yusheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered, "Don't be afraid, with Brother Shi Hao here, everything will be alright."
