From the remote mountainous region to the vast land, Jun Wu Xie sat within the horse carriage and could see some small towns in the distance. Those small towns that had once been peaceful were now in a state of ruin, the houses looking like they had been burnt down by a raging inferno, the charred marks covering the broken tiles.
The horse carriage stopped by the roadside and Jun Wu Xie stepped down from the carriage to stare at the ruins.
The entire town was filled with a disgusting rotting smell. On the charred ground, one could vaguely see mutilated corpses. Those corpses looked as if they had been eaten by wild beasts. Their abdomens were torn apart, and their internal organs were gone.
"Disgusting, were these done by the Poison Men?" Qiao Chu asked with a frown as he looked at the corpses. There were quite a number of young children among them but only half of the corpses were left and a large part of their heads had been chewed off.
"The Poison Men do not eat corpses." Ye Mei said with a frown as he squatted down beside one of the corpses. He dipped his finger into the dried blood and sniffed at it.
The faint scent of blood was mixed with a strange scent. That scent was a little unfamiliar to Ye Mei. "The Poison Men only attack their enemies.
They might use their mouths to bite, but they would not inflict such injuries. The internal organs of these people had obviously been eaten by something. If it was a wild beast, then it would not be just the internal organs that had been eaten. Moreover, Ye Sha and I had observed that none of the internal organs on these corpses were intact. That is definitely not a coincidence. "Ye Mei said with a frown. The injuries were different from those caused by the Poison Men and that was a very strange point.
"Could it be that they are not the Poison Men?" Fan Zhuo asked with a frown.
"Even if they are not the Poison Men, they are more or less the same. We have not been back to the Middle Realm for a long time after all and they might have found something else." Ye Sha said.
Jun Wu Xie wanted to go forward to check on the corpses, but she suddenly heard a strange sound.
Jun Wu Xie turned around and looked at the ruined houses.
Jun Wu Yao's lips curled up slightly.
All of a sudden!
Several figures jumped out from the shadows.
Qiao Chu and the others immediately got into a defensive stance. But when they saw who they were, they were stunned.
The people who appeared before them were not the Poison Men but more than ten men in tattered clothes, holding machetes and hoes in their hands. Their hair was unkempt and their faces dirty, their eyes staring greedily at Jun Wu Xie and the others.
"These people … are from the tea shop from before." Rong Ruo's sharp eyes spotted several familiar figures. Those people had been sitting in the tea shop earlier, their eyes gleaming.
One of the taller men in the group pointed a machete at Jun Xie and the others and said aggressively: "We do not intend to make things difficult for you. As long as you leave behind your valuables, we will let you go!"
When Fan Zhuo had handed a gold ingot to the teahouse's waiter, the glittering gold had immediately drawn the attention of the few refugees. They had seen that although Jun Xie and his companions had quite a number of people, most of them were youths who had yet to reach adulthood, and there were even a few children among them. Added to that, the group of people were all brightly dressed and their faces were handsome, looking just like a bunch of soft and tender looking idiots. That had caused the refugees to develop malicious intentions and they had followed the horse carriages all the way here, finally finding a chance to strike.
More than ten of them sprang out from all over the town and surrounded Jun Xie and his companions, their intentions obvious.
