No one can be seen walking around in the village, and no livestock can be heard. Moreover, it must be dinner time, but there is no smoke at all.
"Could this be their stronghold?" Roaring Sky Dog asked.
Gao Shan nodded and said: "It's really possible, so let's not rush in and take a look around first!"
After finishing speaking, Gao Shan took the roaring dog and looked around the village. He didn't see anything special. It's just that the village seemed like a dead village, and he couldn't feel any life.
Villages like this are relatively common nowadays, and only one insect beast is enough to kill the whole village. Some villages are more unfortunate, and insect beasts happen to fall, and Gaoshan and others cannot take care of such small villages, so this village is...
They will suffer the fate of being massacred.
Gao Shan and the others have not seen many villages like this during this time.
It's just that the current village is a little different. The villages that were massacred before were in a mess, with corpses, mutilated limbs, and blood stains everywhere on the roads. But now the streets of this village are very clean, and there are no insects at all.
Signs of a beast attack.
This also makes the village feel very abrupt to Gaoshan. It is possible that the Zerg cultivators deliberately created the illusion of a massacred village, but they did not do it in such detail.
As for the villagers, they may indeed have been killed, but not by insect beasts, but by the cultivators who occupied this place.
After guessing this, Gao Shan felt that those Zerg cultivators were hiding in the village.
But if it was really there, he couldn't rush in rashly.
Gao Shan hesitated for a moment and decided to observe first and be careful about the Wannian Ship!
In this way, Gao Shan and his barking dog were observing outside the village for a long time and a night, but no one was seen and no sound was heard.
At night, I didn't see any house turning on the lights.
Roaring Sky Dog even drove a sheep into the village, making a lot of noise, but still no one came out.
"We won't stay here for so long, and it would be embarrassing if there wasn't even a shadow of a ghost!" Roaring Sky Dog's spiritual consciousness said.
Gao Shan was also worried that he had guessed wrong and said, "Didn't you say that they entered the village and there was no trace of them leaving the village?"
"I didn't smell it, but that doesn't mean they didn't leave. What if they came here and blocked the smell. Or the smell dissipated due to some special reasons?"
"Damn! If you hadn't told me earlier, I thought you were sure they were in the village."
Roaring Sky Dog also followed suit and said, "Damn! I didn't expect such a simple truth, and neither did you!"
Gao Shan gave Roaring Sky Dog a blank look and was too lazy to argue with him.
They really couldn't wait like this, otherwise they would lose everything, so they still had to go down to see the situation and find out what was going on.
"Don't worry, I've set up a small teleportation array here. If something goes wrong, we can just find a way to exit and teleport away."
Roaring Sky Dog carved a small teleportation array when he was idle. The teleportation distance is not far, but it can escape tracking.
Gao Shan naturally knew about this teleportation array. He was afraid that when the situation was critical, he would not have a chance to break out and would not be able to get here.
But he didn't say anything, he would go down and see the situation before talking.
Gao Shan carefully entered the village with Roaring Dog.
Arriving at the village, Roaring Sky Dog sniffed and said, "They not only passed by here, they must have stopped here, because I smelled it in many places, old and new. This should be one of their strongholds."
Roaring Sky Dog's tone was very determined.
Now that it is certain that this is the destination for Zerg cultivators, we must be even more cautious.
Gao Shan just didn't understand why they didn't show up. Was it because he was cautious and worried that he might have a backup plan, so he was observing in secret? Or maybe they had already left?
There is no point in continuing to speculate now. We have already entered the village and can see what is going on.
Gao Shan took Roaring Sky Dog and checked the houses one by one. He found nothing in the first two houses, but when he opened the door of the third house, he was shocked. Because there were bones inside, a room full of bones, which was shocking.
Gao Shan cautiously stepped forward to check. There were about a hundred white bones, including old ones, young ones, men and women. Judging from the time it took about a week for the bones and flesh to separate from each other.
"These should be people from the village!" Roaring Sky Dog suddenly said.
Gao Shan looked sad and nodded: "It should be so. The time of death was close to the time when those Zerg cultivators and insect beasts fell. It should be their fault."
"What can devour flesh and blood so cleanly, leaving only white bones?" Roaring Sky Dog asked curiously.
Gao Shan didn't know either. He had never met any other Zerg cultivators except Gao Yang, and he didn't know what abilities they had.
“I don’t know, keep looking elsewhere!”
Gao Shan and Roaring Sky Dog continued to search, but still found no Zerg cultivators. However, they found a pile of bones in another house. These bones belonged to adult men and women.
"They divided the villagers into two places for massacre!" Gao Shan sighed and said.
Another two hundred lives were lost, and each of these Zerg cultivators was stained with countless blood.
Gao Shan counted the lives of those killed by insect beasts as those of the insect cultivators.
Because according to Gao Yang, these insect beasts were brought by these insect cultivators.
Furthermore, there are still more than a hundred lives of members of the Sky-Slaying Team!
The debts owed by Zerg cultivators are too numerous to mention!
It's just that this time it seems that it was all in vain, as the Zerg cultivators don't seem to be here.
Otherwise, they have no reason to be so calm, and they should at least test it out.
Although there are still a few houses that have not been checked, Gao Shan has no hope.
Gao Shan turned around and was about to go out. The barking dog suddenly barked twice, and then his spiritual consciousness said: "Something's wrong."
"What's wrong?" Gao Shan looked puzzled.
Roaring Sky Dog did not answer immediately, but crawled towards the pile of bones, turned over it and smelled it again and again, and then said firmly: "These people are not villagers, but the Zerg cultivators we are tracking!"
"What!"
Gao Shan was also shocked when he heard this. He had subconsciously recognized these bones as belonging to the villagers and didn't think much about it.
After Gao Shan was shocked, he immediately went to test Roaring Sky Dog's conclusion, and found that the time of death of these people was indeed not long ago, less than two days, and the time coincided with that of the escaped Zerg cultivators.
In addition, Gao Shan found spiritual energy residue in the bones. Although it was very weak, it could still be detected. This corroborated what Xiao Tian Quan said.
"How could this happen? Why are they all dead? Who killed them?" Gao Shan frowned.
They had been tracking the Zerg cultivators, hoping to find their lair, but unexpectedly they only found a group of bones in the end.
"It's very possible that they are one of their own," Roaring Sky Dog said.
Gao Shan nodded in agreement. He came up with this guess after asking himself, because their death conditions were the same as those of the villagers.
The fact that those villagers are Zerg cultivators is scary, and so are they.
