Of course, Qianmian was not intimidated by the little girl's threat. She used three sticky magic arrows to nail the little girl to the ground.
"Fuya!"
She struggled to break free from Qianmian's arrows, but it was meaningless … This guardian of the ruins was weaker than Qianmian had imagined.
"Let's go and take a look."
Thousand Face didn't pay attention to the girl anymore. He brought Fu Ya to the woman who was floating in the air.
When Qianmian was about to take a closer look at the middle-aged woman, the moment she took a step forward, the magic surrounding the woman's body suddenly disappeared. Her body also lost the protection of magic and fell to the ground.
At this moment, Thousand Faced Assassin nocked another arrow on the bowstring. She stared closely at the woman who had fallen to the ground, afraid that she would suddenly wake up and attack.
This kind of waiting lasted for a few minutes, but the middle-aged woman on the ground did not react at all.
Qianmian's ears slightly pricked up. She was trying to catch the woman's heartbeat.
But there was no heartbeat. Qianmian did not hear the slightest trace of heartbeat from the woman's body.
"Dead?"
Qianmian glanced at Fuya behind her who was pulling the corner of her clothes. Fuya shook her head slightly, indicating that she also did not understand what happened.
Another minute passed. Qianmian slowly walked towards the middle-aged woman on the ground. The arrow was always aimed at her head, but until Qianmian came to her side, the other party did not react.
Qianmian half-knelt down and touched the middle-aged woman's neck with her hand.
There was no pulse, no heartbeat. From a physiological point of view, it could be attributed to a state of death.
But just by touching her skin, Qianmian could be sure that this woman should be alive a second ago.
This body did not have any signs of decay.
"Don't touch her!" The prophet-like girl shouted at Qianmian uncontrollably.
"Is your mother dead?" Qianmian asked her aloud.
She gritted her teeth tightly. It seemed that she didn't know how to answer Qianmian. The dark elf exuded a cunning aura, making her understand that Qianmian could analyze a lot of information from her words.
"It seems like she is still hiding something. Sublimator-Style magic-guided machinery. I guess this body should be just a container."
Qianmian opened the text message and sent the encounter here to Josiah.
"The Sublimators are indeed good at building solid bodies that can pass off as real. It is a magic doll that looks and feels similar to a human. In order to rule out the possibility of feigning death, bring this body to the Venerated Skeleton to have a look."
Josiah had little experience in autopsy. Among the people that Joah knew, only the Venerated Venerated Skeleton was.
"I will bring it over as soon as possible."
Qianmian picked up the middle-aged woman who fell to the ground. She looked around again.
As the core of Yanorod, there were still many places to explore, but Qianmian was not sure if this body would rot after a long time.
"Princess Freya, we can go back." Qianmian said to Fuya.
Fuya had been in a state of fear since she entered here. Qianmian didn't understand what Fuya was afraid of, but this was also the reason why she didn't want to stay here.
As for the girl … I will interrogate her later when I have the chance.
…
Qianmian's efficiency in performing the mission was also impeccable. After comforting Fuya, she took this body to the Haze Forest.
Because Josiah informed the Venerated Skeleton in advance, Qianmian did not encounter any terrifying undead along the way. She arrived at the gate of the Venerated Skeleton's castle smoothly.
The gate of the castle slowly opened. As soon as Qianmian entered the door, she heard a passionate symphony orchestra ensemble. It sounded like the Venerated Skeleton's orchestra was busy rehearsing some new songs.
Qianmian came to the center of the castle hall with this body, and the music stopped abruptly.
"Josiah, this guy has brought me another trouble!"
The Venerated Skeleton's voice echoed throughout the castle. A skeleton passed through the wall and came to the hall.
The moment Qianmian saw the Venerated Skeleton, the muscles on her cheeks became a little stiff. Among the four dukes of the Demon Realm … except for the Black Dragon Grand Duke, the Venerated Skeleton was the most dangerous one that Qianmian felt was the most.
"Venerated Skeleton." When facing the Venerated Skeleton, Qianmian could clearly feel … a pressure from the soul.
"Put it on the table directly. I don't have time to waste on a dead body now."
The Venerated Skeleton's slender bones waved gently, and a long table appeared in front of Qianmian.
Josiah handed her a music score called "1812 Overture" yesterday.
After reading the music score, the Venerated Skeleton had been practicing with his orchestra until today.
Qianmian chose an inopportune time to visit the Haze Forest. If it was another living creature … it would probably be endowed with the immortal attribute by now.
She didn't dare to make any unnecessary movements in front of the Venerated Skeleton. She honestly put the female body on the long table.
The Venerated Skeleton floated in the air and looked at the woman.
"This body is still alive." The soul fire in the Venerated Skeleton's eye sockets flickered. Her impatient tone gradually disappeared. She had a little interest in this body.
"Her heartbeat has stopped for almost an hour." Qianmian whispered to the Venerated Skeleton about the corpse's status.
"Are you questioning my conclusion?"
"I dare not."
The Venerated Skeleton snorted coldly and approached the middle-aged woman's body directly. An unknown undead magic hovered above the Venerated Skeleton's bone finger, and then the Venerated Skeleton's finger penetrated into the woman's body.
"A human body. Tell Josiah that this guy's body is not created, but born from the mother's womb." The Venerated Skeleton said to Qianmian.
Before Qianmian came, Josiah had instructed the Venerated Skeleton about some information he wanted to know.
The Venerated Skeleton carefully explored for a while again, and then made a sound of amazement.
"Where did you find this old woman?" asked the Venerated Skeleton.
Old woman …
Qianmian remembered that the age of the Venerated Skeleton should be almost a hundred years old. Although her age was several times that of the Venerated Skeleton, in terms of human age … the Venerated Skeleton could be called an 'old woman' …
"The core area of Yanorod," said Qianmian.
"Core … Demon Realm has a lot of weird places. There are a lot of traces of inscription transformation in this guy's body. The technique is superb. She uses this method to extend her life. Her actual age may be more than three hundred years old, or even longer," said the Venerated Skeleton.
"Sir Duke, can you wake her up?" Qianmian asked the question she was most concerned about.
"This body is just an empty shell. The soul has disappeared. According to human understanding, it is indeed in a dead state, but this body has no signs of decay." The Venerated Skeleton thought for a while and said, "Leave this thing with me first. I may be able to find a way to find where her soul has gone."
