Hearing this, Lu An frowned slightly.
He put down his bowl and chopsticks, and pondered seriously. In fact, he trusted Yao's intuition very much, just like how he trusted his own. Furthermore, he could faintly sense that Yao's perception was especially strong in certain aspects, as though she was born with it.
Yao grew up in Sengoku, and logically speaking, it was a mystical place, so she should have seen many mystical things. At the very least, Yao did not look surprised when Lu An released many Heaven Arts. If even she said so, then it was probably a very good thing.
"Alright." Lu An nodded after some consideration. "Let's go take a look, but if it's really troublesome, there's no need to force it. Let's just leave."
"Mn." Yao nodded and replied.
After the two of them finished eating and paid the bill, they rushed towards the northeast of the village. Although Lu An did not know the exact location, he was not worried at all with Yao around.
Under Yao's lead, the two of them went over several mountains. It was only in the evening that the two of them slowed down slightly.
"It's in the mountains ahead." Yao frowned slightly and said.
Lu An nodded, but he was shocked by Yao's perception. The two of them had been rushing for the entire afternoon, and had run for at least a hundred miles. How could he not be surprised that Yao could sense such a far place?
"Slow down." Lu An looked at the slightly dark forest in front, and said with a frown. "Don't run off alone, follow me closely."
"Alright." Yao said.
The two of them set off again, and walked towards the forest in front. The forest was low-lying, and there was a lot of fog. The fog blocked a lot of vision, and Lu An was not stingy either. He directly used Scorching Sun Nine Suns to sense the surrounding situation.
Birdsong and beast cries could be heard from the forest, making the already oppressive dusk seem even more gloomy. Lu An And Yao walked in the fog, and Lu An frowned slightly. Until now, he had not seen or sensed any mystical beasts or Heavenly Masters.
Furthermore, he did not hear any sounds of fighting. The entire foggy forest was especially quiet, which made the birdsong so clear.
The two of them moved forward very slowly. Lu An carefully observed his surroundings. The more tempting something was, the more dangerous it was. He had to be careful, not to mention that the current situation was completely different from what the villagers had described.
Right at this time, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew over, making Yao involuntarily shudder. Lu An's frown deepened. At this moment, he suddenly saw something.
Urging his horse forward, Lu An walked in front and approached the shadow. When he finally saw the black shadow, he was startled and frowned!
It was a corpse, a corpse hanging from a tree.
This person was hung to death on the tree branch. His eyes were wide open, as if his eyeballs were about to fall out. His entire body was tattered and covered with wounds. There were traces of weapons and beast claws. Perhaps this person was already dead before he was hung on the tree.
This scene was very terrifying, especially in the twilight fog. Yao, who was following behind him, couldn't help but scream in a low voice when she saw this scene. She was clearly frightened.
Lu An glanced at Yao, took a light breath, got up, and jumped onto the tree branch. He carefully inspected the corpse. From the other party's body strength, he was most likely a peak level one Heavenly Master. For a Heavenly Master to die so tragically here, it really made one sigh.
Back on the horse, Lu An turned to look at Yao and asked, "How are you feeling? If you're feeling unwell, let's leave."
Yao lightly shook her head, took a light breath, and said, "I'm fine."
Lu An frowned when he saw this, and then he nodded and continued to lead Yao forward.
The deeper they went, the thicker the fog became. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be so much fog in the forest at dusk. Not long after, two more corpses were hung on the tree.
Lu An inspected them one by one, not letting any of them go. These two were Heavenly Masters as well, and they were both peak level one. With such strength, they could be considered as the mainstay of a city. Yet, they had both died tragically here, which made one feel uncomfortable.
However, what made Lu An concerned was, why were there knife wounds on these people's bodies? Moreover, why were they all hung on the tree? Who would do such a senseless thing?
After walking for a while, more corpses appeared one after another. These people were all hung on the tree without exception. Their deaths were tragic, and all of them died with their eyes wide open.
Finally, after walking for a long time, Lu An suddenly heard a sound coming from the front. Lu An's heart trembled. Listening to this sound, it seemed to be the sound of people fighting!
Lu An calmed his mind and continued to ride the horse forward. Less than half a mile later, he finally saw a trace of a figure in the forest.
He stopped and brought Yao to hide behind a big tree. He stuck his head out to take a look. Indeed, he saw people fighting.
However, when Lu An saw through the fog, his body trembled!
He saw at least four mystical beasts and eight Heavenly Masters fighting in front. If it was just this, it wouldn't be enough to shock Lu An. What shocked him was that these Heavenly Masters and mystical beasts were actually fighting together, attacking randomly without distinguishing between each other!
It was as if they had gone mad!
Lu An stared at this scene with wide eyes. This was his first time seeing such a crazy scene! These Heavenly Masters' faces were all distorted. They opened their mouths wide and roared, even drooling! They roared and attacked everything around them. Even if they were injured, they didn't feel it at all!
Blood splattered everywhere. The mystical beasts also went crazy. Compared to humans, they had even less scruples. Their huge bodies swung around wildly, throwing punches at their companions. The surrounding forest was destroyed by these battles. In the fog, the battle didn't stop.
Not only that, Lu An even saw in shock that a Heavenly Master on the verge of death was actually crawling on the ground with one arm. In the end, he tried his best to climb up a tree, then personally tore off a long piece of cloth and hung himself!
If he didn't see this scene with his own eyes, Lu An absolutely wouldn't believe that someone would hang themselves! In his opinion, these people were truly crazy!
Although Lu An didn't know why, he vaguely felt that it must be caused by something here. These mystical beasts and Heavenly Masters were all attracted by this thing, and then started killing each other!
Not only that, after careful observation, Lu An realized that no matter if it was a human or a mystical beast, the blood that flowed out from their wounds would slowly dissipate into the air, causing the surrounding fog to become redder and redder, and more and more the smell of blood. This smell of blood seemed to have stimulated these people and mystical beasts, causing them to kill each other even more crazily!
This wasn't a place to stay for long!
Lu An immediately made up his mind to leave. No matter what, if the mystical beasts and humans here were to attack without reason, then they would be in great danger as well. Being targeted by these people who didn't care about their lives was the most terrifying!
Thinking of this, Lu An immediately turned to look at Yao and said. "Let's leave …"
Lu An suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Yao behind him in shock.
Yao's face became a little sluggish, and her eyes became empty. Her mouth was slightly opened, and a trace of saliva flowed out from the corner of her mouth. Her temperament had completely disappeared, and her beautiful face was filled with emptiness!
Could it be …
Lu An widened his eyes and looked at Yao. Could it be that Yao was also affected?
Lu An quickly took out a Constitution-Enhancing Pill from his ring, and sent it into Yao's mouth. However, Yao's condition didn't improve at all, and it even seemed to be getting worse!
Lu An's heart shook, and he immediately frowned, and hit Yao's neck with his hand! Suddenly, Yao's eyes softened, and her body went soft, and she fell into Lu An's arms.
Lu An heaved a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know why he wasn't affected, the smell of blood in the fog was too strong. He wasn't interested in that thing at all, and only wanted to leave quickly, for fear that something would happen to Yao!
However, just as he carried Yao and was about to get on the horse and leave, he suddenly realized that something had happened to the two horses!
The two horses looked ferocious as they looked at each other, and roared!
Following that, the two horses suddenly neighed, and rushed towards each other!
"Awooo!!!"
The sound here instantly attracted the mystical beasts and humans from afar!
