"AH ~!"
A shriek was heard, startling everyone in the group. The man named Chen Binbin hurriedly ran to the side of the gorgeous woman with shoulder-length hair. With a panicked expression, he asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"Arm! Arm! "The glamorous woman pointed at something hanging from the branch. Her face was extremely pale.
Ling Ling was beside her. She lifted her gaze and saw the arm that was still dripping blood. It was a severed arm that had been torn apart from the elbow. The cut was uneven. She could even see the tendons, bones, and blood!
"Shut your mouth at once. As a Magician, even if you just saw a corpse that was torn to pieces, you should at least understand the situation first. You're not allowed to scream!" Wang Dakuo glared at the woman.
The rest of the young Magicians were not in a good mood. Most of them were used to working in offices. They had seen corpses before, but they had never seen one in such a miserable state. They could not help but wonder what the man had encountered.
"It should be a type of demon with great brute strength," Lingling said as she carefully examined the wound on the severed hand.
Chen Binbin's expression was extremely strange. Even he didn't dare to look directly at that arm. Why was this little girl still in the mood to analyze it? When he thought of a living person being torn into several pieces, Chen Binbin's whole body felt uncomfortable all over.
"Elder, we should … we should leave," Guo Muzhuang said worriedly.
"How could we leave him to die!?" Wang Dakuo harrumphed coldly.
He led the way. The others could feel the terrifying aura approaching them, yet they had no choice but to follow him.
"His head is here," Ling Ling suddenly yelled.
The glamorous woman beside Ling Ling was dumbfounded. She screamed and ran as far away as she could.
When he flipped open the large banana leaf, there was indeed a head hidden under it. What was shocking was that the neck of the head was still very uneven, and there were even some creases. It seemed like it had been directly twisted off!
"Torn, torn, gnawed … it's most likely a Hillman!" Ling Ling said to Mofan.
The Hillmen that Ling Ling was referring to were the people living in the mountains. The Hillmen were a kind of demon beast. Their physique was very similar to humans, but they had fangs like a wild boar, skin like tree bark, and claws like a giant bear. They did not know any magic, but their strength was one of the best among the Mountain Demons.
They were extremely quick and good at ambushing their prey. They were extremely cruel to their prey. Most of the time, they would tear them apart and eat their prey alive.
The Hillmen usually lived in primitive forests. there was a huge tribe that consisted mainly of Hillmen in Shennongjia... To their surprise, there were Hillmen in the outer Mount Kunyu!
Wang Dakuo did not refute Ling Ling's speculation, as he had already seen a huge footprint. The Hillmen were not much taller than humans. They were usually around two to four meters tall. Therefore, it was most likely a Hillman that had left such a huge footprint. If it was a Hunter with a strong physique, there was no reason for him to not wear shoes!
The cries of agony indicated that there were still survivors. The group continued forward, but the glamorous woman who was with Chen Binbin did not dare to go any further.
She had only seen a corpse being torn apart by five horses on TV before. The corpse was usually flat, but the pieces of the corpse in front of her were simply too gruesome. She was completely dumbfounded.
"I'm not going, I won't go any further!" the woman said with tears streaming down her face.
"Let's go, or we're going to fall behind," Chen Binbin dragged the woman along, but his eyes were fixed on the group that was moving further away.
The others had already gone to the front. The dense forest here overlapped, and it was extremely difficult to find the team with a distance of one or two hundred meters. No matter how hard Chen Binbin tried, he couldn't drag them. As soon as he heard movement around him, Chen Binbin immediately broke out in sweat.
"You're going to get me killed!" Chen Binbin yelled angrily. He simply shook off the woman who was so scared that she had lost her mind and ran in the direction the group had gone.
"Don't leave me behind …"
…
The scent of blood was getting stronger. Mofan and Wang Dakuo were leading the way. As they parted the bushes, Mofan immediately saw the back of a muscular man. The man's arms and legs were thick, and they were covered in blood …
"Son of a bitch! Run away! " Wang Dakuo yelled furiously. He quickly chased after the Hillman.
The Hillman quickened its pace when it sensed a powerful aura behind it. It quickly ran into the woods and disappeared into thin air.
Mofan did not chase after the Hillman. He looked at the grass and saw the organs and intestines smeared across it. He wondered if they were still alive.
Mofan was used to seeing blood and disgust, but he still felt a chill down his spine when he saw how cruel the Hillmen were.
The others had caught up to the group. They immediately vomited when they saw the things on the ground. Even Hunters would not be able to bear the sight, let alone Mages who were used to living in comfort in the wild.
"Where's the elder?" Guo Muzhuang asked in a panic.
"He went after the murderous Hillman. He was too fast, I couldn't keep up with him," Mofan said.
"Huh? How could the elder leave us behind? What are we going to do now? "Zhong Mi asked.
"Why are there only a few of you here? Where's the rest?" Mofan turned around and saw Zhao Manyan, Chen Binbin, and the frightened woman were not with the group. He remembered that they were not far behind the group.
Chen Ying turned around and was surprised when she did not see anyone for a long time.
"How … how did we suddenly fall behind!?" Wang Hua blurted out angrily.
"AHHHH!"
A piercing cry of agony suddenly came from the direction they had come from.
The cry was incredibly miserable, as if the person was being tortured. Everyone shivered when they heard it.
"I … I think it's Hu Duo's cry!" the woman called Zhong Mi blurted out in disbelief.
"Did something happen to Hu Duo?"
The moment they thought of the torn corpse and the mess on the grass, everyone's faces turned ugly.
"Phew, phew, we finally caught up to you. Why are you running so fast …" Chen Binbin came running out of the woods and asked the group, panting heavily.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a puddle on the grass. He subconsciously tried to identify it, but when he realized what it was, he suddenly vomited violently and couldn't even speak.
"Wasn't Hu Duo with you?" Guo Muzhuang asked with wide eyes.
"Ah? I was worried that she would fall behind, so I asked her to follow me. What happened to her? "Chen Binbin said.
"You … you son of a b * * ch, if anything happens to her, I won't forgive you!" Guo Muzhuang yelled furiously. He sprinted in the direction where Hu Duo was screaming before the group could make a decision.
"Don't go alone!" the skinny man who was with Guo Muzhuang yelled. He clenched his teeth and followed Guo Muzhuang.
…
The others did not move. Wang Dakuo, who they were relying on, had gone deeper into the woods. They might lose contact with Wang Dakuo if they continued to run away.
Zhao Manyan and another woman seemed to have fallen behind too. Mofan was not too worried about Zhao Manyan. He could easily protect himself. He was more worried about Hu Duo, whom Chen Binbin had left behind. It was unlikely that things would end well for her if she was left alone in such a dangerous place.
"The Hillmen are relatively intelligent among the demon creatures. Even the lowest-level Hillmen are good at working together to hunt for prey …" Ling Ling said.
"Did the Giant Purple Linden summon them here?" Mofan asked.
"It's hard to say, the Giant Purple Linden is most likely a place for neutral creatures to settle down. Normally, the Giant Purple Linden won't accept demon creatures like the Hillmen that eat two or three living creatures in a day," Ling Ling said.
"Speaking of which, we did hear a lot of cries of agony. It sounded like a group of people was in danger, but if we were to count the corpses, it felt like they belonged to a single person …" Mo Fan said.
"Say, aren't you being a little too careless? You're still in the mood to talk about something like that? I bet the rest of the team was eaten by those demon creatures!" Chen Binbin said with a pale face after he finally recovered from the shock.
"I just find it very strange …" Mofan said.
While he was talking with Ling Ling, there was a sudden movement in the bushes. Everyone who was scared stiff immediately turned around. The colorful Star Orbits and Star Maps on their bodies all lit up.
To their surprise, a slender woman in glamorous attire walked out from the woods. Everyone looked at her and saw that it was Hu Duo!
She was still in a daze. She had yet to recover from the shock. She blurted out in fear when she saw everyone looking at her in astonishment, "What … what happened to you all?"
"Didn't you see anything?" Mofan asked when he sensed something was not right.
"No, I'm just a little scared. I thought I lost my way when I came here alone. Chen Binbin didn't wait for me, either …" Hu Duo said.
"But … but we clearly heard you …" Zhong Mi blurted out in disbelief.
"I didn't make any sound. I was worried that I might attract the demon creatures, so I kept covering my mouth …" Hu Duo was confused too.
Mofan and Ling Ling exchanged glances with one another. They immediately had a bad feeling!
"Crap, Guo Muzhuang and the man might have fallen into a trap!" Mofan said.
"What the f * * k is going on?" Wang Hua was utterly confused.
