Chapter 1036: The Demon Race Actually Slaughtered
After a few words of conversation, Qing Yin Xianyun instructed the two to inspect the flying boat, preparing to set off again.
While they were busy, Yi Feng was bored.
Lying on the bed with his hands behind his head, he glanced over with the corner of his eye.
The three aliens were each going about their tasks, all looking solemn, occasionally glancing around as if they dared not underestimate the demon race.
Being cautious wasn't wrong, but the more Yi Feng watched, the more puzzled he became.
These three experts were very concerned about the demon race, which logically meant the demons should be extremely powerful. So why were the ones he encountered all weaklings, easily defeated like chopping vegetables?
Could it be that the strong demons were all encountered by the aliens, and he only met the weak ones?
Unless...
He was stronger than these three experts?
This thought flashed through his mind, and Yi Feng slowly sat up, his expression becoming somewhat complicated.
If it were true, he didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
After a long period of tangled contemplation, Yi Feng gradually became dazed and sat stiffly.
Just as he was lost in confusion about life, a toad suddenly jumped out from behind him, hopping around on the flying boat. Its inconspicuous size didn't attract anyone's attention.
After a few hops, it jumped off the flying boat and disappeared.
"Let's go."
Qing Yin Xianyun's firm voice spread, instilling confidence in everyone who heard it.
The two attendants took their positions, and the flying boat began to speed forward again.
The flying boat raced through the thick black fog, emitting a faint glow.
Throughout the journey, the three remained highly vigilant, even more cautious than before.
But strangely.
After several hours of travel, they didn't encounter a single demon. The entire journey was eerily quiet, which was very unusual.
Qing Yin Xianyun and the old man exchanged glances, both with suspicion in their eyes.
The young man walked over from the rear of the flying boat, his face full of doubt as he saluted.
"My lord."
"Forgive my boldness, but we haven't encountered any demons for a long time. It's very strange..."
The old man also spoke up at the right moment, his expression serious.
"My lord."
"I dare to say, this matter is indeed strange. There might be a demon trap."
The words of the old and young made Qing Yin Xianyun's eyes grow heavy.
The unease in her heart was amplified by their words. Though she wasn't panicked, she felt some pressure.
She nodded and softly ordered.
"Stop the flying boat."
"The three of us will investigate the surroundings and then decide what to do."
The prudent strategy was met with approval from the two, who saluted in unison.
"As you command."
The three then left the flying boat to explore the surroundings.
After stepping on the ground and searching for a long time, they finally saw a strange sight.
In the thick black fog, there were hundreds of demon corpses lying around, covered and stained by the black fog, long devoid of life, just a pile of broken flesh.
Looking at the giant corpses scattered everywhere, the young man's face was full of doubt.
"There are so many corpses. Could someone have passed through here before us?"
Qing Yin Xianyun didn't respond, her clear eyes fixed on the nearest giant corpse, several zhang tall.
She took a few steps closer.
She carefully examined it, her gaze drawn to the strange wounds that ran across the giant corpse's body.
The old man followed closely behind, also examining the surrounding giant corpses.
In just a few moments, both of them showed shock in their eyes.
"This is definitely not the work of human hands!"
"My lord is right. These wounds are not caused by blades!"
The young man was even more astonished and curiously examined the corpses himself.
Upon closer inspection, even he was stunned!
The giant demon corpses all had extremely irregular wounds, the flesh torn as if by jagged teeth, not at all like cuts from swords, but more like they were torn apart by sheer brute force.
A single glance was enough to send chills down one's spine!
Looking closer, the wounds conjured images of terrifying death scenes, making one's back go cold.
Looking around, some corpses were split in two, some only had heads left, and without exception, there were no intact giant corpses. Broken limbs were scattered everywhere!
The more they looked, the more horrifying it became, and the stench of blood in the air grew stronger.
Sweat had already begun to bead on the young man's temples, his face full of disbelief.
"How... how is this possible!"
"Demons have incredibly strong bodies, almost surpassing ordinary weapons. How could they be torn apart alive? Hundreds of demons slaughtered like this... how could this happen?"
Qing Yin Xianyun's beautiful face darkened as she warily surveyed the sea of terrifying corpses.
After a long time with no further discoveries, they had no choice but to return.
Back on the flying boat, they continued forward, their expressions even more tense, the atmosphere heavy. Even with their powerful cultivation, they began to feel an unknown fear.
The black fog remained as silent as ever, but it now sent chills down their spines.
Not long after they set off, they kept encountering such horrifying scenes, with demon corpses scattered everywhere, their gruesome deaths making one's heart tremble.
The three stood at the front of the flying boat, their faces grim.
Qing Yin Xianyun no longer had her previous absolute confidence, her clear eyes filled with doubt.
"What on earth happened..."
"Could it be that the demons are killing each other?"
The young man no longer dared to speak out of turn, only the old man responded with a salute.
"My lord makes a good point."
"But... although demons do fight among themselves for territory, I have never heard of internal strife on such a scale. Thousands of demons dead... this can't be explained by mere internal conflict."
Qing Yin Xianyun's eyes grew heavy, her heart churning like turbulent waves amidst the extremely quiet black fog.
The more she thought, the more puzzled she became. She had never encountered such a strange situation in her life.
The sea of terrifying corpses alone, just being in its midst, made one feel the terrifying aura of death. Even they didn't possess the sheer power to slaughter demons like that.
What kind of terrifying demon could exist in this endless black fog?
Just as the three were lost in their thoughts, a sound came from the black fog in the distance.
"Boom!"
The faint sound of the tremor seemed to come from far away.
But even this faint sound, coming through the absolute silence of the black fog, was like the tolling of a bell, tightening the already tense strings of their hearts.
Curiosity and tension intertwined as the three stared intently into the distance.
"Boom!"
Another tremor came, becoming slightly clearer as the flying boat moved forward.
It seemed to be not far away.
Qing Yin Xianyun's heart grew even more tense. The unknown black fog increased her pressure, and even her commanding voice became more steady.
"Let's investigate further ahead, but remember to be cautious."
The two behind her solemnly saluted, their expressions resolute as if they had already steeled themselves.
"As you command!"
The three left the flying boat again, stepping onto the black fog-covered ground to move forward.
As they cautiously explored, they saw more giant demon corpses, several times more than before, but all of them were mutilated, with broken flesh scattered everywhere.
It was hard to imagine that the powerful demons had been slaughtered like cattle!
"Boom!"
The sound of the tremor came from the black fog ahead, and the ground beneath their feet also shook.
The three silently exchanged glances, the pressure in their eyes increasing.
Qing Yin Xianyun no longer spoke, only solemnly transmitted her thoughts.
"Later, we'll act according to the situation. Be extremely careful!"
The two attendants nodded gravely, their breathing becoming cautious.
The sound continued to come from the black fog, like the drumbeats of death, filling the three with immense curiosity while also covering their hearts with great pressure.
Moving silently through the sea of corpses, the sound of the tremor became increasingly clear!
After passing a pile of giant corpses as large as a mountain, they finally saw the truth.
In the thick black fog ahead.
A shadow thousands of zhang long flew through the air, circling in the night sky like a black dragon soaring through clouds, a sight that filled one with terror at first glance!
Even more terrifying.
As the giant shadow flew, demon corpses kept falling from the sky!
"Boom!"
With a loud crash, a mutilated demon corpse was thrown in front of the three, creating a deep crater several zhang wide!
Dirt and rocks flew, flesh and blood scattered everywhere!
