Zhao Hai and Fatty stood at the edge of the battlefield. They carefully looked at the corpses and the traces around them. After some time, Zhao Hai turned to Fatty and said, "Fatty, what do you think?"
Fatty said in a deep voice, "This should be a mercenary group, but I can't tell who killed them or how many people killed them. What about you? Did you find anything? "
Zhao Hai replied, "Yes, this is a mercenary squad. But their enemy is only one person. This person is very strong. Most importantly, this person is a Soul Tree."
When Fatty heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but stare. Then he asked, "How can you tell if their enemy is a person or a Soul Tree?"
Zhao Hai pointed at the corpses on the ground and said, "Look at the corpses when they died. It seems like they were besieged. But look around, aside from the traces of magic attacks on the trees, are there any other traces? There are no traces on the ground, not even the slightest fluctuation of spells. Look at the traces of spells on the trees, they're all in the middle of the trees. It's very clear that the attacker was aiming for the trees, not the people. Only the Tree Soul can command the trees to fight for them. "Zhao Hai nodded, then he looked at Zhao Hai and said," That's right.
Fatty nodded, then he said, "Looking at the corpses, they shouldn't have died more than three hours ago. If the battle really happened three hours ago, then if someone used magic in the forest, then magic fluctuations should have been left behind. But there's nothing here. It seems like what you said is true, the other party is a Soul Tree."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he pointed at the tree's branches and said, "Look at those branches, there are some places where there are no leaves. Moreover, there are bloodstains. Look at the wounds on the corpse, it's very irregular. This isn't something that can be done by ordinary magic." Zhao Hai nodded, then he pointed at the tree's branches and said, "Look at those branches.
Fatty nodded, then he knit his brows and said, "If that's the case, then it's troublesome. The other party is a Soul Tree. Do you think they'll come and deal with us?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Even if they come, what can they do? Don't forget that I'm also a Tree Soul, I'm not afraid of him. Just let him come. It's just that the other party really didn't pay attention to the details, killing them and burying them. Just leaving them there is a bit too much. There are a lot of demon beasts in this forest. If those demon beasts find these corpses, I'm afraid it won't take long for them to be eaten up. Moreover, the smell of blood might attract powerful demon beasts. Let's just bury them. "
Fatty nodded and said, "Alright, I'll listen to you. Bury them."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he waved his hand as the ground around the corpses fluctuated. Then the ground turned into quicksand as the corpses quickly sank and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After dealing with the corpses, Zhao Hai looked at the tree again. Then he turned to Fatty and said, "Let's leave this place. If people find us and think that we're fighting, then it wouldn't be good. Moreover, the Boundless Mountains are full of adventurers. They're all looking for the Holy Tomb. If they find us, then they might think that we're looking for the Holy Tomb as well. When that time comes, they might attack us."
Fatty nodded and said, "Let's go. Being able to bury them is already good enough." After saying that, the two turned around and left. Not long after they left, the roar of a beast could be heard. Then a huge beast appeared. It was about two meters tall and three meters long. This beast was very strange. It had six legs. Two of its front legs were very long, but they seemed to be curled up on its shoulders. The remaining four legs were on its back. The four legs were used for walking.
The beast sniffed the area and then roared. It stretched out its forelegs and began to dig. Before long, the corpses that were buried by Zhao Hai and Fatty were dug out.
At this time, a voice was heard, "Six-legged, stop."
When the beast heard this voice, it immediately stopped. Then it turned its head towards the direction where the voice came from. Then an old man slowly walked out of the forest.
This old man looked to be about fifty years old. His green hair was already grey. The wrinkles on his face were very deep, and his skin was very rough. One could see that he was a person who had been walking outside for a long time.
The old man wore coarse hemp clothes and held a magic staff in his hand. His clothes weren't very good, but his magic staff looked very good. It was a magic staff made of fine steel. At the top of the magic staff was a green gem. This gem was about the size of a human fist. It flashed with a green light, as if it was alive. It was very beautiful.
The old man looked at the corpses and frowned. Then he waved his hand and buried the corpses. At this time, the beast went to the old man's side and laid down on the ground. It looked very well-behaved.
The old man looked at the surrounding trees, then he sighed and said, "It's a good seedling. Unfortunately, its murderous aura is too strong. Six-legged, besides the corpses, see who else came here. They all went in that direction."
The beast seemed to be able to understand the old man's words. It slowed down and sniffed around. Then it went to the place where Zhao Hai and the others appeared. Then it roared at the old man. Then it went to the place where Zhao Hai and Fatty appeared. Then it turned its head to the old man and roared twice.
Although the old man has been living with the beast for a long time, he understood what the beast was trying to say. He nodded and said, "So you're saying that one person appeared here and then left. Then two more people appeared here and then left. It seems like the person who killed these people was the one who left first. Looking at the time of death, it should be around three hours ago. Also, the soil where these people were buried should be less than an hour ago. In other words, the first person left after killing them. Then two more people came here and saw the corpses, so they buried them. Liu Jiao, let's look for those two people."
Let's find two people. "The beast roared and walked towards the direction where Zhao Hai and Fatty left. The old man also slowly walked forward. On the other hand, Zhao Hai and Fatty didn't know that someone was looking for them. The two of them didn't return to their original resting place. Instead, they went straight into the depths of the forest.
While walking forward, Zhao Hai said to Fatty, "It seems like we need to be more careful in the future. The Boundless Mountains are no longer safe."
Fatty nodded, then he sighed and said, "I really don't understand why this is happening. We haven't even seen the shadow of the Holy Tomb, yet we're already killing people. Aren't we a bit too anxious?"
Zhao Hai looked at Fatty, then he smiled faintly and said, "Who said that killing people must be for the Holy Tomb? Why can't we kill people for other reasons? Don't forget, they're all adventurers. "
Fatty stared, then he immediately reacted. He understood what Zhao Hai meant. Those people were all adventurers. Adventurers didn't kill people just to find the Holy Tomb, they also killed people for money.
Fatty smiled bitterly and said, "I still haven't adapted to the identity of an adventurer. Old Zhao, when you were an adventurer, were you also like this, killing people for money?"
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "Not every adventurer is like this. In fact, most adventurers respect the rule that if people don't offend them, they won't offend them. If I didn't smell blood today, then I wouldn't have approached you. This is because whether an adventurer is fighting a demon or a human, if other adventurers approach, they would be regarded as hostile. In that case, both sides might end up in an immortal state. In the wild, no one would casually offend people. Even if you're stronger than the other party, you still shouldn't offend them. This is because you don't know when the other party will suddenly plot against you. If the enemy suddenly attacks you while you're fighting a demon, then you're dead. Of course, if you have to offend the other party, then you must kill them. You can't give them a chance to flip their cards. This is the law of survival in the wild."
Fatty nodded and said, "I understand. To put it bluntly, if you want to survive in the wild, then you have to be like a beast. Beasts have their own territories, and two beasts whose territories are close to each other won't fight unless one of them goes to the other's territory. But if it comes to a point where you have to fight, then you have to beat the other party, or even kill them, right?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Right, that's what I mean. I call this the law of the jungle. In the wild, everything is the law of the jungle. It's completely different from the city."
Fatty nodded and said, "Well said, the law of the jungle. There's no more suitable description than this. Hahaha, Old Zhao, I found that you're quite talented."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly. Just as he was speaking, his expression suddenly changed as he said, "Be careful, there's a giant beast coming towards us. Hm? There's someone behind it, it seems to be coming for us. "
When Fatty heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but stare. Then his expression changed as he said, "Giant beast? What kind of giant beast? "
Zhao Hai looked at Fatty and said, "How would I know? I just felt a very powerful beast's aura coming towards us. Behind this beast's aura, there's also a person's aura. Moreover, this person's strength is very formidable. We need to be careful." Naturally, Zhao Hai didn't tell Fatty the truth. He knew that Fatty was a member of the Imperial Family, so he was very familiar with the cultivation methods of each soul. If he showed a completely different cultivation method, then Fatty would certainly feel strange. Therefore, Zhao Hai didn't tell the truth.
When Fatty heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but chuckle. He didn't say anything, but the two of them had already taken out their staffs, ready to attack at any time. The two of them waited for half an hour before they heard the beast's roar. When Fatty heard the roar, he looked at Zhao Hai in surprise and said, "Zhao Hai, you're really strong. You can feel the enemy from so far away?"
Zhao Hai smiled bitterly and said, "It would be great if I could feel the enemy from so far away. When we were moving forward, I would use an early warning spell every once in a while. I would use it on a tree. As long as someone passes by, it would produce early warning fluctuations and I would know."
Fatty had an envious expression as he said, "That's good. No wonder people say that no one can defeat a Soul Tree in the forest. With this ability, no one can defeat you." As he spoke, a black head suddenly appeared behind a tree. This head looked like a tiger's head, but it was much bigger than a tiger's head.
After this head appeared, a pair of cold and ruthless eyes swept towards Zhao Hai and Fatty. The two of them couldn't help but feel nervous. Then the huge beast slowly revealed itself. When Fatty saw this beast, he exclaimed, "Tiger King Beast! It's actually a Tiger King Beast. "
Zhao Hai looked at Fatty with a puzzled expression and said, "What Tiger King Beast? I've heard of tigers, but I've never heard of a Tiger King Beast. "
Fatty smiled bitterly and said, "Most people wouldn't have heard of a Tiger King Beast. This is because Tiger King Beasts are very rare and incomparably powerful. Did you see it? It has six legs, and its two front legs are its main weapons. Not only are they incomparably strong, they can also dig. These two front claws aren't like the claws of a tiger, but more like the claws of a human. Whether it's grabbing or tearing things, it's much more convenient. This kind of beast is much stronger than a tiger. "
"Hehe, not bad. I didn't think that there would be someone here who could tell the origin of these six-legged beasts. Young man, it seems like your identity isn't ordinary. Ordinary people wouldn't know about the Tiger King Beast." An old voice was heard from behind the Tiger King Beast. Following this voice, an old man slowly appeared in front of Zhao Hai and Fatty.
Zhao Hai looked at the old man and said, "Old Mister, what do you mean by this? Why are you following us? "
The old man looked at Zhao Hai and Fatty. His gaze lingered on Zhao Hai for a while before he finally said, "Not bad, young man. I didn't think that you would discover me so quickly. Tell me your identity. Are you also looking for the Divine Tomb? "
Zhao Hai and Fatty looked at each other. Then Zhao Hai opened his mouth and said, "We just came to the Boundless Mountains to explore. When we passed by the Boundless Mountains, we heard about the Divine Tomb. Therefore, we came here to try our luck. We also heard that there are a lot of experts here, so we wanted to exchange blows with them."
The old man looked at Zhao Hai and then at Fatty. Then he nodded and said, "Not bad, it seems like you didn't lie. Let me ask you, did you bury the corpses in that place?" Then he pointed at the road that they came from.
Zhao and the fat man looked at the direction the old man was pointing at. Their expressions changed. Zhao nodded. "Yes, we did bury them, but we didn't kill them. We just found their bodies and buried them." Zhao nodded. "Yes, we buried them, but we didn't kill them.
