[Book Title: Chapter Shocking Discovery of a Corpse! By:]
In the later part of the journey, Sima Youyue and the rest would occasionally encounter some Spirit Beasts. The Spirit Beasts here were much more powerful than those outside. Even they would sometimes be chased all over the grassland by the Spirit Beasts.
It seemed like Xuan Qiu Clan's research on the desert only extended beyond this oasis.
Other than the Spirit Beasts, more and more people had arrived. It seemed that after the first force had thought of a way, the others had followed suit.
However, there were many people who came, but there were also many who died. Mutilated corpses were often seen on the road.
"We've been walking on the grassland for two months, and we still haven't found a mining area." Huahua sighed as he chewed on a twig.
After eating so many twigs in the past two months, the Huahua's aura changed day by day. It was very different from two months ago.
"It should be soon." Sima Youyue looked at the mountain range in front of her.
Most mining areas were in the mountains, so they should be arriving soon. However, it seemed so close, and he didn't know how long it would take to reach it.
"Ahhh!"
A sharp shriek came from the front. Sima Youyue sensed that something was wrong.
"There's an aura of death!" After saying that, she quickly ran in that direction.
The others hurriedly followed.
Sima Youyue ran past a few hills and saw a group of people in black cloaks. A few of them were carrying a corpse.
Seeing Sima Youyue and the rest, the group of men in black turned around and flew away.
Eastern Lai Li and the others frowned as they watched the men in black disappear from their sight. "These people feel so strange."
"Of course it's strange," Sima Youyue said and ran over to check the corpse on the ground.
— — As expected!
Eastern Lai Li and the others ran over. When they saw the corpses, an uncomfortable feeling arose in their hearts.
"You just said, of course it's strange. What do you mean?" Shui 'er came behind Sima Youyue. When she saw her rummaging through the corpses, her eyes flashed with intense disgust.
"Exactly what I said." Sima Youyue could feel her disdain and did not have a good impression of her.
Everyone in the Donglai family was dissatisfied with her reaction. How dare a puny girl from another clan, whose status and strength were so low, talk to them like that!
"You yue, is there anything on these corpses?" Xuan Qiu He asked, causing the people from the Eastern Lai Clan to hold back their questions.
Sima Youyue thought about this corpse. If Xuan Qiu He smelled it, it would be too indecent. Hence, she stood up and condensed water attribute spiritual power to wash her hands. Then, she used Little Birdie to dry it. All of this happened in less than ten seconds.
"Those people in black cloaks are all corpses. They use death aura, and these corpses are also stained with it. That's why you feel uncomfortable looking at them. "She explained to Xuan Qiu He.
"Undead? How was that possible? Don't talk nonsense! "Shui 'er shouted.
Sima Youyue glanced at her and said, "If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself! I think you should be able to recognize the death aura, right? "
"I …" Shui 'er was at a loss for words. Asking her to search through those corpses? She didn't want that!
Sima Youyue's lips curled into a sarcastic smile.
"Go and take a look." Shui 'er ordered one of the maidservants.
"I …" That maidservant was unwilling, but she didn't dare to disobey. She held back her disgust and bent over to search through the corpses.
"If you don't have the confidence to get rid of the death aura on your body, it's best not to touch these corpses." Sima Youyue's voice sounded faintly, scaring that person so much that she quickly retracted her hand.
"You believe her words!" Shui 'er shouted when she saw that her person was frightened by Sima Youyue.
"Sister Shui 'er, I …"
"Quickly go and check. Don't you want Young Miss to know the truth?" Shui 'er questioned.
"That's not what I meant!" She wanted to ask what Sima Youyue meant, but Shui 'er was obviously unhappy that she did that.
She was originally timid, and now she didn't dare to refute, but she didn't want to touch that corpse. The corpse gave her a very dangerous feeling.
"Let me do it." An older maidservant beside her said and bent over to check those corpses.
Shui 'er glared at Sima Youyue unhappily. Nothing happened at all! She dared to scare the people of Eastern Lai Clan. Very good, very good!
"Ah — —"
That woman suddenly cried out in pain, and her body retreated backwards, revealing her red and swollen hand.
"Ah — — it hurts!" That woman used her other hand to hold her wrist, not allowing the pain to spread upwards.
"What's wrong with you?!" The maidservants of Eastern Lai Clan surrounded her, and when they saw her hand, they retreated in fear.
In just a few breaths, her finger was so red and swollen that it was shining. Someone accidentally poked it, and thick liquid actually flowed out, emitting a stench.
"What's going on?" Eastern Lai Li walked over and asked.
The people she brought out were all elites among the maidservants. Seeing that she was being tortured, she panicked.
"Quickly use the fire attribute to resist!" Xuan Qiu He said.
Fortunately, that maidservant was a fire attribute Spirit Master. When she heard Xuan Qiu He's words, she quickly condensed her spiritual energy and isolated her entire forearm. From then on, the red and swollen phenomenon did not continue to spread upwards.
"What's going on?" Shui 'er looked at that horrible hand and suddenly turned to Sima Youyue, saying, "Is this your doing? You poisoned the corpses and purposely tricked us, right? "
"Pfft — —" Sima Youyue sneered, saying, "Miss Shui 'er, even if you want to accuse someone, you should choose a good time! She and I checked two different corpses, how could I poison you? Moreover, I've already reminded you, but you didn't listen. Now you're blaming me, this is unreasonable. "
Everyone then noticed that Sima Youyue checked the corpses near her, and that maidservant checked the corpses near Sima Youyue that were tens of metres away from her. In their opinion, it was impossible to poison someone in front of so many people and hide it from them.
"Miss Youyue, what's going on? Why are you fine after touching the corpses, but my maidservant is injured? "Although Eastern Lai Li's words were not as direct as Shui 'er's, there was a hint of questioning in it.
"Li, this has nothing to do with Youyue." Xuan Qiu He did not like her questioning Sima Youyue, so he spoke out to defend her.
"I didn't say that Youyue did it. I was just asking her what's going on. "Eastern Lai Li was unhappy that he defended Sima Youyue, and her face darkened even more.
"Actually, this is nothing." Sima Youyue said, "I said that these people have the aura of death on them, and it's a corrosive aura of death. Your maidservant's body is not as good as mine, so of course she couldn't resist it. Her fingers were corroded by the aura of death. "
