Just a human corpse?
Their hearts trembled.
Along the way, most of the corpses they saw were skeletal lizards. There were hundreds of them, and they all died in the same way.
Now, in that messy group of corpses, there was a human corpse.
This discovery made them selectively ignore the silkworm-like corpses and look straight at the lonely human corpse.
There was an exaggerated laceration on the back of the corpse, and even the spine was cut off. Preliminary judgment was that it was scratched by the claws of the skeletal lizard.
Blood flowed all over the ground, and the smell of blood carried by the wind should come from here. However, deeper in the darkness, there was still the smell of blood, and there might be a more tragic situation in the depths.
Law approached the corpse and his eyes fell on it.
In terms of clothing, it was made of animal skin, long shirt, short pants, and light armor, which seemed to be made of some kind of hard shell.
His eyes swept over the exaggerated laceration on the back and fell on the back of the corpse's head. It was black hair. After a pause, his eyes shifted and looked at the corpse's thick legs that seriously did not match the body's size.
From the thigh, through the knee, and then to the calf, all the muscles were swollen, as if they were injected with gas, but the feet were of normal size.
These abnormally thick legs, coupled with a height of less than 1.5 meters, were very uncoordinated.
Biscay and Dongba also stood aside, quietly looking at the corpse. Then, they saw Law reach out and slowly turn the corpse facing the ground.
It was indeed the face of a human. It was a male, and his skin was pale due to the lack of exposure to sunlight. His facial features were not pleasing to the eye, but they were all there. The only difference was the pair of eyes that had died with grievances.
The corpse's eyes were round, a pair of eyes that seemed to have cataracts, but there was a small black spot in the middle of the pupil.
Law suppressed the shock in his heart and reached out to touch the blood, judging that the corpse had been dead for no more than an hour.
He got up, looked at Biscay, and said in surprise, "There are really humans."
Biscay pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, "Maybe the footprints on the dragon blood tree were left by them."
"It's possible."
Law glanced at the feet of the man's body. Although the legs were abnormal, the feet were normal.
If the environment on the surface was tough, then the underground space was indeed a good choice. However, the Darkness Continent wasn't so friendly to begin with, and there were many dangers even underground.
For example, cockroaches, bone lizards, and silkworm corpses.
The silkworm's body was sturdy and snow-white. There was a row of small legs under its body. One had to count carefully to find out how many pairs of small legs there were.
After taking a few more glances at the silkworm, he was surprised to find that the silkworm had a simple saddle-like equipment on its back.
His attention had been completely attracted by the human corpse just now, so he didn't notice the simple mount equipment on the silkworm's back.
In other words, this silkworm might have been a mount domesticated by this human corpse. Judging from the casualties on both sides, the battle strength of the human side was stronger.
After all, hundreds of Bone Lizards had fallen in front of them, but they had only found one human corpse and three silkworm corpses here.
Law checked the surroundings of the human corpse and didn't find any weapons such as hammers. It was really unclear how the injuries of the Bone Lizards were caused.
There was a possibility that the unknown weapon was scarce, so when humans fought with the Bone Lizards, they didn't have time to move the bodies of their companions, but they took away the weapons left behind.
Random guesses couldn't get an accurate answer at all.
Law and Biscay made the decision to continue to go deeper.
Dongba had no right to speak. Although she was happy to see the human corpse, it was still dangerous.
Everyone followed the light of the flashlight and continued to go deeper.
After walking for about 20 minutes, they found many Bone Lizard corpses along the way, as well as dozens of human corpses and white silkworm corpses.
There were still more Bone Lizard corpses, but the number of human corpses was gradually increasing, and no weapons were found.
Puzzled, Dongba's detection finally responded.
"There are a lot of moving objects in front of us."
Dongba whispered, glancing at the corpses on the ground.
"Lizards, insects, humans, it's them. They are fighting. The number of humans is less than a hundred, but there are thousands of lizards. They surrounded people."
After detecting the situation, he organized the most concise and understandable language to say it.
"Thousands of them …"
Law's face changed slightly, looked up at the Black Cat floating in the air, and made a prompt decision: "You protect Bruna and Dongba. Biscay and I will go to the front first. If I don't let you come over, don't rush over."
As soon as the voice fell, Law let Bruna leave his shoulder. The latter was very cooperative, stretching her jellyfish-like body and floating in the air.
Dongba heard the words and breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of her heart. There was a big fight ahead. It was best not to get close.
After settling down, Luo had the black cat swallow Allah out and hold it in his hand. Then, he and Bishi rushed into the darkness in front of them as if they were on fire.
There was a human settlement.
This was the conclusion after seeing dozens of corpses and hearing Dongba's report.
Yes, there was indeed a human settlement in the Dark Continent. Although there were some subtle differences, it was indeed human.
Saving the hundreds of humans besieged by the bone lizards, and then following the group of humans back to the settlement, was Law's decision immediately after he got the information.
He had absolute reason to believe that the humans living in the underground world were humans who had reproduced from ancient times to the present. They did not leave the Dark Continent, but survived in a difficult way.
This information was also not known by the humans of the six continents after many times of setting foot in the Dark Continent. And this group of indigenous humans must have a lot of information about the Dark Continent.
Law's decision was similar to Biscay's. Both of them realized the importance of this group of humans. Even if they saved one, they must not let all of them die.
He was a little anxious and even wasted his Telekinesis to increase the speed of his journey.
A few minutes later, there was a violent sound in the darkness ahead.
It was the inexplicable cry of the bone lizards, the screams of human characteristics, and the sound of many heavy objects falling to the ground.
Putting away the flashlight, he picked up the glowing seaweed and stuck it to his body.
Law and Biscay were like two small glowing suns. They came to the edge of the battle group and attracted the attention of both sides at the first moment.
The group of bone lizards was indeed as Dongba said. There were thousands of them, surrounding a group of humans who were fighting like trapped beasts. There were less than a hundred of them left, all riding white silkworms.
There were many corpses lying on the ground around them. At a glance, there were thousands of bone lizards, and hundreds of human and white silkworm corpses.
For some reason, the bone lizards did not devour the human and white silkworm corpses. They did not know the motive of attacking the humans.
The bone lizards looked at the two people who suddenly appeared. With their brain capacity, they immediately included the two people in the camp that besieged the humans.
As for the human team that formed a circle and was fighting hard, they were surprised and looked at the two humans who were somewhat different from them.
There were less than a hundred people left in the human team. Their way of fighting was very unique. They rode on white silkworms, but when they attacked, they jumped into the air, their feet emitted a faint red light, and they stepped heavily on the skull of the bone lizards.
A step can make a bone lizard fall to the ground.
Later, several white silkworms pulled the people who jumped out back to their original position, but they were the white silkworms.
Law and Biscay just glanced at the battle situation, but the group of bone lizards had already moved, and a large group on the edge rushed directly towards the two of them.
Without time to communicate with the group of human beings riding white silkworms, Law and Biscay were wrapped in the telekinesis field and faced the rushing bone lizards.
There is good news, that is, the bone lizards have no telekinesis, so it will be easier to deal with them.
Law opened his field and suddenly included dozens of bone lizards in it, using invisible sniper. However, the expected head explosion did not occur.
The head of the bone lizard that entered the field was only slightly flattened, and then fell to the ground. It did not die immediately, but it did not get up for a long time. It seemed that it had lost its fighting power.
After the effect of the first attack came out, Law realized that the bone lizard's defense was not weak, and even the lethality of the invisible sniper was greatly reduced.
Law put away the field, held the True Lord in his hand, switched it to the [Blunt Knife Mode], and his figure was like lightning, turning into a sharp sword and piercing into the group of lizards.
As soon as the long knife slashed, more than a dozen bone lizards fell to the ground, and there was an obvious blunt wound on their heads.
Biscay also launched a close fight with the bone lizard, punching the skull of the bone lizard, causing the skull to cave in and killing it instantly.
"It's hard."
Biscay was slightly shocked.
Although she could kill it with one punch, the hard head of the bone lizard was still beyond her expectations.
Following that, a few more White Bone Lizards approached her, but they were all killed by a few quick punches.
After Law and Biscay attacked, they killed nearly seventy or eighty bone lizards in less than ten seconds.
After the human team saw Law and Biscay's outstanding record, they were shocked. Although they didn't know why, they were sure that the other party was not an enemy, and they were here to help them.
