under chu bubai's lead, the group quickened their pace and continued walking forward. as expected, after walking for a short while, they discovered some scattered white bones on the ground. they could tell that these were the bones of spirit beasts.
at first, there were only a few scattered bones, but the further they went, the more densely packed the bones became. later on, there were even piles of bones. at this time, the sun had already set in the west, and they could inadvertently see some floating will-o '-the-wisps among the bones, also known as will-o-wisps.
the surrounding environment, which was already gloomy, became more and more terrifying under the contrast of this ghost fire. even if everyone already knew the cause and effect, now that they were really in it, they couldn't help but look at each other and feel their scalps go numb.
lin yi compared the map in his hand-they were at the unmarked common graves indeed.
it was said that all living things in the world, as long as they had spirituality, could sense their own death in advance. the more spirituality they had, the more accurate their perception was, and the earlier they could sense their death.
the reason why spirit beasts were called spirit beasts was because they were born with spirit qi, which was much stronger than ordinary species. there were rumors on the street that many spirit beasts could even sense their death date a few months in advance, and thus prepare for it.
it was a mystery, but it wasn't just a rumor-it was something that many people had experienced. after all, pets were everywhere on sky class island, and they often ran away from home before they died, dying in the mass grave.
such things often happened in the secular world. many pets often had similar situations before they died.
Lin Yi had heard from Hong Zhong and the others that almost every gathering place of the spirit beasts on Sky Class Island, especially those deep in the mountains and forests, would have a messy graveyard for the spirit beasts in the core. Almost all the spirit beasts in that area would come to the messy graveyard when they felt that they were about to die, and then quietly wait for their death there.
Although there was a strict hierarchy among the spirit beasts, and under normal circumstances, the spirit beasts who were not strong enough on the outside would not be able to enter the depths of the core at all, but only when it was about to die could they enter, and it would be unimpeded. Absolutely no spirit beast would stop it. This was a tacit understanding that existed between all the spirit beasts.
Lin Yi looked at the route carefully. As long as they passed the messy graveyard of spirit beasts, it meant that they weren't far from their destination. If everything went smoothly, the baby ginseng would be right in front of them.
At this time, Lin Yi felt that Huang xiaotao's breathing was a little rushed. She was obviously nervous and scared. Lin Yi comforted her and held her hand gently, indicating that she didn't need to be afraid.
There was a dead silence around them. The people in front could clearly feel Huang xiaotao's strange behavior. Guo dengtao even turned around and smiled, giving her a comforting expression. After all, she was a girl. Even men found this kind of ghastly place creepy, so it was understandable that she was a little scared.
"Hmph, if you're so timid, then don't come out and take risks. You're useless, and you're so troublesome ..." Feng Hongyu saw this and turned to look at Lin Yi and Huang xiaotao with a mocking face, taking the opportunity to Jabber on.
She'd been sneering at the two the whole time, as if she wouldn't be able to show off her superiority if she didn't do that. The two, on the other hand, treated her like air and didn't bother with her.
However, before Feng Hongyu could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Huang xiaotao's scream.
Whoosh! All was silent. Huang xiaotao's scream was particularly sharp, and it suddenly startled a black mass of birds not far away. Without any warning, it gave everyone a big scare.
Upon a closer look, these were not some powerful spirit beasts, but some ordinary Carrion crows and other birds. This place was a graveyard for spirit beasts. Unless it was a spirit beast that was about to die, no other spirit beast would come to this place.
"You're crazy! You're so scared, you're so timid, yet you want to scare people to death!" Feng Hongyu's face also turned pale. When she realized what was going on, she immediately started scolding Huang xiaotao.
She wasn't the only one. The faces of Guo dengtao, Wang Feng, and the others were also a little ugly. It was deathly silent around them before, and there was no movement at all. They didn't expect that there would be so many scavenger crows lurking in the dense forest. Under the night sky, their eyes shone with a dim light, and they felt like they were staring at a corpse. They simply shuddered.
"There's a ghost ..." Huang xiaotao's voice trembled as she buried her head into Lin Yi's arms. Her whole body was shaking and trembling.
No matter how strong her heart was, she was still a weak girl! Lin Yi smiled and gently stroked Huang xiaotao's back. However, when he followed the direction of Huang xiaotao's finger, his expression froze.
It was not known whether the miasma fog above their heads had become thinner at night or because this place was too strange and creepy. At this moment, they could clearly see the Blood Moon above their heads. The light was much brighter than during the day, but there was a faint layer of blood and they could even smell a bloody rotten smell.
Under the blood-red moonlight, an extremely strange scene not far away made Lin Yi and the others stop in their tracks.
A spirit beast that looked like a rhinoceros from the secular world had its head drooped powerlessly to one side. Its neck had also been twisted into a strange angle, leaving only a thin layer of skin that was connected to its huge body.
Its huge head dragged on the ground, leaving a long dark red trail of blood. On the side of its body, there was a bloody hole that was half the size of a person. Its intestines and internal organs were all over the ground, and even now, they were still dripping blood ...
He didn't know if it was just a psychological effect, but even from a hundred feet away, Lin Yi and the others could clearly smell the pungent smell coming from its body.
If it was just that, it would be fine. He could just hold his nose and bear with it. But the key was that this guy was already in such a state, but he was still alive!
The head that was dragged on the ground was actually eating something with a ferocious expression on its face. Upon closer inspection, the thing it was chewing was the intestines and internal organs that had flowed out of its own stomach. As it ate, blood bubbles could be seen at the corner of its mouth ...
At the same time, there were a few Carrion Crows at the side who were also fighting for the intestines and internal organs. Some of them even directly bit out from its stomach. This unknown spirit beast did not care about this and only continued to gnaw on its own internal organs that had fallen to the ground. (To be continued.)
