"You look pale. Are you scared by the Bone-Eating Spiders?" Mofan asked Walden.
"No … no," Walden shook his head.
"It's quite dangerous, but don't worry. Nothing will happen to you if you stick with the ninth team," Mofan patted Walden on the shoulder.
"Oh, oh, let's hope so," Walden replied. He subconsciously glanced at Mo Fan's back, who had already left.
As a matter of fact, he was quite touched when he heard Mofan's words after being humiliated by the mercenaries. However, Walden felt like he should not take everyone's words too seriously. Even if Mo Fan was able to protect himself on Tianshan Mountain, he might just turn around and run away like the other experienced mercenaries if something happened to him. Everyone knew how to say nice things.
…
The only good thing about the disaster was that the Mailong Private Military Group now had a clear idea of the path ahead.
The landslide had come from a level above, so they could not go wrong by following the debris of the landslide.
After waiting for about half a day, the flood turned into the most common sand and rocks. Although it had changed a lot of landforms in the Great Rift Valley along the way, the Great Rift Valley was still a Great Rift Valley. It would not be blocked by the impact of the flood, nor would it disappear because of the flood.
"I think the cause of the Tianshan Rift Valley is most likely related to the mudslide. For a long time, the Tianshan Rift Valley has existed under the surface of the Tianshan Mountain. However, it has always been buried under the surface of the Tianshan Mountain, among the rocks and glaciers. Recently, the mudslide broke through the surface of the Tianshan Mountain and opened up a passage for us to enter," Ling Ling analyzed seriously.
"Yeah, otherwise, why would such a spectacular Rift Valley appear so easily?" Nan Jue agreed with Ling Ling's speculation.
The valleys, river valleys, and streams were all formed by the constant erosion of rainwater. The Rift Valley of Tianshan Mountain was formed by the erosion of countless landslides. Half a month ago, an entrance to the Rift Valley was finally formed at the foot of Tianshan Mountain, allowing the Magicians to enter it.
Therefore, the ultimate source of the rift valley must be the Tianshan Mountain Glaciers.
Even the strongest Mages would struggle to defend themselves against the Ice Invasion Wind. It was like the magic formation of Tianshan Mountain that rejected all invaders. However, if anyone could enter the Ice Invasion Wind in the Rift Valley of Tianshan Mountain, they would be safe from the Ice Invasion Wind. Most importantly, they would be able to enter the Scar of the Heavens!
No wonder so many Mages had come from all over the world to the Rift Valley of Tianshan Mountain. As a result, many Mages could enter Heavens Scar's treasury without a high level of cultivation.
…
After the flood flowed past, the entire Barren Rift Valley fell silent. Along the way, some corpses buried on the surface could be seen. Clearly, the creatures that lived here sometimes couldn't avoid such a sudden disaster.
"There are some corpses here," Tommy, who was in charge of scouting ahead, said.
"What's so strange about a corpse?" Gavin asked.
"It's human."
"Oh, there's nothing strange about that."
Tommy glanced at Kuma and said, "These people weren't killed by the flood. They must have tried to avoid the flood like us, but we don't know why they died."
"Maybe they were killed by some demon creatures," Gavin said impatiently.
"I didn't find any obvious signs of death."
"Maybe it's some kind of poison," Kuma said.
"Mm, I think so too. If they died along the way, it means we might stumble into them too," Tommy said.
In the eyes of the mercenaries, corpses were no longer scary things. Every path leading to the treasury was filled with corpses. Most of the time, the corpses could indicate the situation around them. If a corpse was broken into pieces, it meant there was a ferocious beast nearby. If a corpse was left with only bones, it meant there was a group of hungry predators nearby. If a corpse was perfectly preserved, it was likely to be poisoned, or something else. It could serve as an early warning to the mercenaries.
…
The team walked past the corpses. The ninth team, which was at the back, finally saw the corpses after a while.
Ling Ling was obviously experienced. She immediately put on a pair of gloves and a mask and went up to the corpses to inspect them.
Walden and the other members of the ninth team had strange looks on their faces when they saw the young girl running toward the corpses with glittering eyes.
Ling Ling did not seem to mind. The corpses contained too much information. The path ahead was filled with both natural and demon creatures. Even though Mo Fan and the others were strong, they would still encounter problems that their cultivation could not solve. How could they possibly guarantee everyone's safety when there were so many people in the team?
Therefore, information was very important. Any important information collected from this unknown Tianshan Rift Valley could help avoid some uncontrollable nightmares.
"Did you find anything?" Mo Fan asked Ling Ling.
"It's strange." Ling Ling's first sentence made everyone's heart skip a beat. "Judging from their clothes, they must have reached the Meadow Layer. The moss and Yin Grass that only exist in the Meadow Layer are still hanging on their clothes."
"If they had left the Desert Layer and reached a higher altitude, why would they come back here and die?" Nan Jue asked.
"What's the cause of death?" Mo Fan asked.
"The cause of death is asphyxiation, but I can't find the cause of it," Ling Ling said.
"Poison?"
"I thought so too, but if it's poison, they should have stayed in the Meadow Layer. Anyone with common sense would know where the poison is, and they should be looking for the antidote nearby," Ling Ling said.
"Is it possible that they were poisoned in the Meadow Layer and were swept down by the mudslide?"
"There aren't any traces of the mudslide on them. I'll keep a sample. Let's keep going. We might need to analyze the environment to determine their cause of death," Ling Ling said.
"Maybe they were too weak, too."
"They weren't weak, one of them was a Great Advanced Mage."
"There aren't any traces of a battle on them. It means their deaths have nothing to do with their strength …" Nan Jue said.
"The team is already ahead. Let's keep going. If anything happens, the Mailong Private Military Group will take care of it," Ai Jiangtu said.
"Old Ai, is that the real reason why you joined the Mailong Private Military Group? So you can use them as a shield?" Zhao Manyan smiled.
"You talk too much," Ai Jiangtu said.
