"The flesh and blood of the corpse disappeared so fast, it was so fast that it was weird!" Gu Nian said.
Generally speaking, the body of a killed animal needs to go through a complex process of decay, transformation, and death under normal temperature and humidity conditions, before the organic matter that makes up the body can be wiped out.
But now...
The flesh and blood of the beetle's corpse disappeared in just a short time, less than half an hour, leaving only an empty shell!
Apart from the empty shell, no other traces were left at the scene.
This can only mean that the beetle's body disappeared inexplicably, rather than being discovered by other animals in the forest and picked up as a packed lunch.
Gu Nian secretly guessed that the bodies of the ants and orchid mantises that had died together in the fight must have been in the same condition as the beetle that she and Lin Chen had killed.
Otherwise, in this dry and slightly cold weather, the body should be preserved without decaying for a longer time.
What's more, when she and Lin Chen discovered the corpses of the ants and the orchid mantis, what they saw were not the rotting corpses, but the shells the two little guys carried before they died!
"This place turns out to be not only ridiculously big, but also full of all kinds of dangers, especially those hidden dangers. We must be more careful." Gu Nian analyzed.
Having said this, she remembered another strange thing.
"Do you still remember the two birds that I killed before and fell under the tree? When I was making the scarecrow, I climbed under the tree but did not find the bodies of the two birds."
She didn't think much about it at the time, thinking that the carcasses of the two birds had been picked up by some wild beast and served as a delicious meal.
Now that I think about it, I can't help but feel strange.
Because it’s not just the bodies of the two birds that have disappeared. Even the blood stains that were spilled when they died have disappeared!
"According to common sense, it takes much longer for a body to decompose naturally. So, what happened on this land, and why did such a weird and terrifying thing happen?" Gu Nian said with a frown.
Gu Nian was puzzled and had no choice but to say to Lin Chen, "Let's go back to the camp first."
Along the way, the more she thought about it, the more terrible she felt.
Now, corpses on the ground will mysteriously disappear without leaving any traces.
So, as the danger level of the game increases, will living people also encounter the same threats?
What is the culprit that causes this terrible threat?
Lin Chen saw that Gu Nian's face was not good-looking, so he had to comfort her and said: "The game has just begun. If there are any clues, we need to discover them together slowly. If there are any problems, we can discuss them together and face them."
"
"Let's... go hunting tomorrow." Gu Nian said.
After the hunt was successful, she wanted to hide secretly and observe to see what happened to the corpses.
"Okay." Lin Chen nodded.
He also wanted to know what happened.
The two men returned to their base with deep thoughts.
Fortunately, everything is safe here at the base.
In order to relax the serious-looking Gu Nian, Lin Chen decided to let her divert her attention.
He pulled her: "We only ate steamed buns for lunch today, but we didn't eat them well."
