Chapter 779: The Dead Old Man
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“I feel like someone is watching us. Could it be a demon?” The cultivator couldn’t help but feel fear.
After Qin Chen and the others left, they continued to walk along the path that cut across the demon race’s forbidden ground.
As long as they could leave, they would be safe. After all, there were many spies of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect here, but after leaving, the chances of them encountering those disciples were much lower. With that, they should be able to survive successfully while their safety was increased.
Qin Chen and the others were extremely lucky for the past half a day. They hadn’t even encountered a single demon or human cultivator.
Then, after some time, they saw the corpse of an old man in front of them.
This old man had been extremely powerful when he was alive. However, for some unknown reason, there was a penetrating wound on his head. It was as if some kind of attack had instantly penetrated his head, resulting in his tragic death before he could react.
Judging from the old man’s attire, he should be an expert from a large sect or faction. He might even have some status.
It was a pity that this person died here for no reason, and there was no one to collect his corpse.
Seeing this, Qin Chen reminded everyone to be careful and pay attention to any possible dangers. After all, it was impossible for him to take care of everyone every time. The death rate in this demon race’s forbidden ground was quite high too.
Everyone looked at the wound on the corpse’s head. The bloody hole indicated that the wound had been inflicted by a single finger, and it was extremely shocking.
God knows if they would be killed by the same attack ahead. They didn’t even know if the culprit was a human or a demon.
With this, the possibility of them successfully being on guard became extremely low. Qin Chen carefully observed his surroundings.
There were many auras not far away, but they were very weak. He did not even have any interest to look for those weak creatures.
They could be almost sure that there might be some powerful existence here. As such, they needed to be more careful to pass through this place safely.
As for why there were so many weak auras, it should be a disguise used by the existence behind it. This was the only way to minimize the vigilance of ordinary people.
When the time came, the other party could make a move stealthily, and there was a high chance he could kill his target. This also indirectly showed that the creature here should only be able to sneak attack and would not attack openly.
Therefore, as long as they were on guard, they would be able to block the first attack. There was a high chance of survival.
Everyone was convinced by Qin Chen’s analysis.
It seemed that the powerful enemy in the dark had high intelligence. They might have been targeted by the other party, but the other party hadn’t made a move yet. He should be observing them and waiting for an opportunity to move.
In just a short moment, Qin Chen and the others were so shocked that they broke out in cold sweat. They felt as if someone was pointing a sword against their backs. It was as if a ferocious creature was staring at them in the dark like a poisonous snake, waiting for an opportunity to attack.
Everyone could not help but feel immense pressure.
The big scorpion became increasingly nervous. He looked back every three steps, seemingly very worried that a terrifying existence might suddenly appear behind them and kill them in an instant.
Qin Chen had already extended his divine sense to cover the surroundings. As long as there was a slight fluctuation, he would immediately react.
From there, he would attack at the first moment..
