They werenât poisoned, their souls are all gone! Itâs just, Iâve never understood how exactly are the souls extracted?â He said with puzzlement.
âWhat exactly is going on? If one forcibly extracts a personâs soul, thereâs no reason they wouldnât feel any pain. No matter how you look at it, the corpses shouldnât look like this!â Feng Xiaoyao frowned as he looked at the corpses of several people.
âThe black fog here is strange to begin with, so letâs be careful and move on!â said Mo Jiuli.
âAlright, letâs go!â Feng Xiaoyao said as he glanced at the corpses on the ground.
âWho is she?â Feng Xiaoyao suddenly turned to look at Yun Xia and asked curiously as they walked.
âShe is my Contract Beast, she just disguised herself before!â Mo Jiuli replied without hiding anything.
âI thought so, you wouldnât be so nice to others otherwise!â Feng Xiaoyao said knowingly after hearing this.
Having spent some time with Mo Jiuli, Feng Xiaoyao had come to understand Mo Jiuli pretty well. He knew that Mo Jiuli always appeared polite but was really difficult to approach, just like how he had been clinging to Mo Jiuli all this time but still couldnât earn his approval, not even knowing Mo Jiuliâs name till nowâ¦
Mo Jiuli smiled silently, while the group of four had grown lively with the addition of Feng Xiaoyao and Ma Tong, although the atmosphere was frequently interrupted by one corpse after anotherâ¦
They had been traveling for days, seeing more and more corpses along the way, some were Beast Tamers who went in with them, others were strangers!
âWhy are there some people weâve never seen before? Clearly, they didnât come in with us. Who could they possibly be?â Feng Xiaoyao wondered aloud as he looked at the corpses of two women.
âI donât know either. Judging by the temperature of their bodies, they seemed to have died around the same time as those people! Itâs just unclear how they got inâ¦,â Mo Jiuli said.
âIs it possible thereâs another Entrance to this Beast King Secret Realm?â Ma Tong asked.
âThatâs possible too!â Mo Jiuli nodded as he replied, having suspected the same thing before, and itâs the only possibility that could explain the other corpses they hadnât seen before.
Mo Jiuli and the others continued walking forward, traveling for several more hours without finding any more corpses. However, the black fog was getting thicker, and even their Divine Sense could barely see more than a few dozen meters aheadâ¦
Mo Jiuliâs Soul Power was strong and could barely see within a hundred meters aheadâ¦
âThis fog keeps getting darker!â said Feng Xiaoyao.
âEveryone, be careful!â Mo Jiuli said.
She couldnât shake the uneasy feeling that something bad was going to happen aheadâ¦
âMaster, one person is missing!â As soon as Mo Jiuli finished speaking, Yun Xia piped up.
Turning around, Mo Jiuli saw only Feng Xiaoyao behind her, Ma Tong had disappearedâ¦
âMa Tong? Ma Tong, where did you go? Ma Tongâ¦â Feng Xiaoyao exclaimed in shock.
âLetâs not get separated, letâs search aroundâ¦â Mo Jiuli said with a frown.
âAlright, be careful, everything about this place feels very eerie!â Feng Xiaoyao said nervously.
Though the journey so far had been extremely dangerous and terrifying, at least the four of them were fine. No matter how they had experienced so much together, although they didnât know each other well before, theyâd known each other for quite a while, and with Ma Tong suddenly missing, Feng Xiaoyao felt a bit uneasyâ¦
