However, Leng Yi could not judge anything just by looking at the footprints;
After all, this road is a slope facing the wind, and there is really too little dust left on the road, leaving not many marks; but outside of the dust, there is an extremely hard gravel ground;
The ground in the Western Wilderness is extremely hard, so hard that even Leng Yi, carrying a 10,000-pound hammer, cannot make deep footprints. Therefore, the gravel ground is as clean as any other Gobi Desert in the Western Wilderness;
Leng Yi raised his head again and walked carefully on the hard ramp towards the ancient dark door. Although the door was ajar, it still could not block the strong smell of blood inside;
The dead tribe, the broken gate, the pungent blood, and the faint hint of resentment above the tribe;
Leng Yi always felt as if he was heading towards an unknown and dangerous place;
"Squeaky..."
With a scalp-numbing friction sound, Leng Yi gently opened the heavy iron door. The moment the iron door opened, Leng Yi couldn't help but narrow his eyes and take a breath of cold air at the same time;
Damn it![
Really...
Behind the gate is a two-foot-wide main road. On both sides of the main road are densely packed barbarian mud houses. They are low, dilapidated, dark and narrow. The weeds on the roofs make an inaudible trembling sound in the harsh cold wind.
It is especially eerie in the deathly silent tribe;
What's even more strange is that everywhere you look, you can see the long main road, the dilapidated earth walls, the leaning carts, the broken doors...
There were shocking pools of blood everywhere!
You can tell by looking at the blood stains that have turned black that they have been congealed for several days;
However, what made Leng Yi take a breath of air was not just the condensed bloodstains; among the bloodstains, he could see the bloodstains beside the main road, at the foot of the wall, on the threshold, and even on the broken doors...
It turned out to be corpses with dried blood, and these corpses...
They were all elderly people with gray hair and a curvy figure!
"Why are they just the corpses of old people? Where are the young adults?" Leng Yi frowned and stepped into the tribe with suspicion. It was obvious that this was no longer a simple massacre of the village...
Just after Leng Yi stepped into the gate, he discovered that there were still several corpses of young and middle-aged barbarians lying under the high wall next to the gate, and in their hands were blood-stained iron knives;
This means that the people in the tribe resisted, and resisted in an extremely hasty manner;
even……
There was even only sporadic resistance at the gate;
Leng Yi walked among the dead tribe, but found no trace of fighting, and no corpse of a young man;
What kind of power can make a huge tribe of at least two thousand people give up resistance in an instant? [
"Squeak, squeak;"
The biting cold wind blew through the lifeless tribe, blowing the tattered doors to close and open again, far and near, making the tribe that smelled of blood look even more eerie and terrifying;
"Damn it, what the hell is going on?"
Leng Yi walked cautiously on the blood-stained main road, looking at the white-haired corpses, Leng Yi's teeth could not help but gnash;
There were only corpses of old people, which clearly meant that the intruders did not want the old people at all, but in order to cover up something, they slaughtered all the old people;
Is this something humans can do?
Leng Yi did not find any traces of fighting with swords or fists. If all this was done by humans, there would be no resistance at all;
As a last resort, Leng Yi opened several old corpses, only to find that the wounds on the corpses were all parallel, and the cut wounds on the bones could be seen deeply, with as few as three parallel rows and as many as four parallel rows;
According to Leng Yi's experience, only the claws of ferocious beasts can leave such wounds!
Moreover, Leng Yi also saw a large number of paw prints and hoof prints of vicious beasts in the dust layer beside the wall...
Could it be that this tribe was attacked by a herd of beasts?
But what made Leng Yi feel something was wrong was how could a settlement that had been attacked by a herd of beasts be so complete? The walls of such an earthen house would probably collapse even if a human kicked it, let alone the rough-skinned and thick-bodied beasts.
Moreover, how could ferocious beasts eat humans so cleanly? The huge tribe did not leave a single corpse or broken flesh and bones behind?
What's more, Leng Yi has never heard of ferocious beasts eating people and being picky, so how could he leave only the old man's body?
However, it seems that only the beast herd can make a huge tribe give up resistance in an instant; after all, in the face of the huge beast herd, the resistance of mortals is so insignificant;
In this way, it can be judged that after the people in the tribe gave up resistance in an instant, all the young and middle-aged people were kidnapped by the ferocious beasts. As for the children...
But why did the ferocious beast kidnap so many young adults? It was definitely not for eating...
Leng Yi walked to the center of the tribe with a livid face, and the cold light in his eyes became more and more gloomy. It was certain that the same miserable situation existed in the villages he passed by, large and small;
Organized, large-scale and purposeful;
The wild beast...
Demon!
Leng Yi's eyes suddenly widened, and he suddenly remembered the plot of a story——
When a demon is born, there must be a human sacrifice!
Um?
However, at this moment, Leng Yi suddenly frowned, and he seemed to smell a hint of familiarity;
Only then did he realize that there were several tall brick houses in front of him; those who could afford to build brick houses in this kind of settlement showed that the family had monks, and their cultivation level was at least the third level of body tempering;
Are there any barbarians I know in this family?
A trace of doubt flashed through Leng Yi's mind, but he quickly threw it away. He knew many barbarians, but he had no friends;
"Forget it, I'd better stay away from this matter;" Leng Yi turned around and walked out of the tribe, shaking his head helplessly; of course he understood what sacrifice meant, and this matter was not his petty matter at all.
The third level of roasted bone can be blended;
Although he had to participate in the vital water incident, he understood that his so-called "participation" was actually fishing in troubled waters;
When it comes to competing, he is not qualified yet!
A small piece of vitality water, not worth a hundred taels of silver, has caused so many things;
Not only the various families in Xichuan, barbarians, ferocious beasts of the wilderness, demons, and mortals, but now even "sacrificial offerings" are popping up...
Next, what else?
Leng Yi walked out of the tribe while thinking, and closed the heavy door before leaving to prevent the roaming beasts from smelling the blood and getting in to cause trouble;
Not meddling in other people's business doesn't mean that you don't care about anything. That's all Leng Yi can do;
After leaving the tribe, Leng Yi and Xiao Xi continued to move forward. Since they roughly figured out what was going on, Leng Yi accelerated their pace;
If he doesn't provoke the demon, then the demon won't be stupid enough to come and provoke him!
The shrill cold wind blew Leng Yi's gray hair, and watching the vast Gobi desert receding rapidly, Leng Yi's eyes were filled with a trace of sadness;
After just running for a hundred miles, I passed dozens of large and small settlements far and near. Each settlement was the same dead silence, the same sadness, the same full of resentment...
