Chapter 874: Encountering Another High Pass (1)
The grassland was empty, and the sky was gloomy. Under the black sky, silver moonlight shone down from the clouds, covering the entire grassland with a layer of silver gauze.
However, this layer of silver gauze covered the ground with corpses.
It spread from the distant edge and kept shrinking inwards. Corpses circled one after another, layer after layer. Wherever one could see, the grassland was covered.
Many, especially many
From Xu Bai’s perspective, there were only a few places where he could settle down. It was as if he had experienced a terrifying battle.
Each corpse was covered in terrifying wounds.
The blood on their bodies had already dried up, soaking the withered and yellow weeds. Some of the withered and yellow weeds had already been dyed red.
Xu Bai frowned and looked around.
Such a situation was unheard of.
They had brought him here at the beginning of the game, and there was not even a single person. There were only corpses. What secret was there?
In his opinion, there must be a secret. The entire ruin was a big secret, but there were no clues now.
Xu Bai raised his hand and pinched carefully.
He had fused all kinds of techniques into a Saint Level One, yet he was unable to predict good or bad luck, let alone find any clues.
This situation made Xu Baimei’s heart beat wildly. He felt that this trip would be dangerous.
Even he couldn’t predict the good or bad luck of this place. He couldn’t even predict it with a Third Level Saint Warrior. This ruin was not simple.
“With this kind of opening, let’s just go straight to one place.”
Xu Bai first used his divine sense to spread out to find out the situation around him. After finding no useful clues, he decided to find a direction to hurry along.
There were only corpses here. Wait!
Xu Bai had just taken a step forward and was about to leave when he retracted his foot. His gaze lingered on the corpses in his sight, and soon, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
“How long has it been since I last searched a corpse?”
In the past, after he fought and killed people, he would carefully explore to see if there was a progress bar.
Later on, when he became stronger and stronger, no one fought him anymore. In the end, there was no looting.
Now that this was a relic, it was a reappearance of the era of resource depletion. If these corpses were all people in the industry, could they find some secret manuals?
“There are so many corpses. It’s too slow to search through them one by one. Oh right, I still have this skill…”
The True Core Strength in Xu Bai’s body twisted. Then, he made a hand seal. At the same time, a portion of his True Core Strength was consumed.
The Corpse Controlling Technique was obtained from the corpse collector in the previous ruins, and it had already been integrated into all kinds of miscellaneous techniques.
Since there were corpses everywhere, it was naturally easy to control them.
Soon, a terrifying scene appeared on this vast grassland.
Every corpse crawled up from the ground. Although there was no sign of life, and there were terrifying wounds and blood on their bodies, they had indeed used a different method to come back to life.
If the corpse collector saw Xu Bai using this method to simplify his method of searching the corpse, he would probably be so angry that he would run out of the coffin.
“Then…Let’s begin.” Xu Bai snapped his fingers and waited calmly.
Under the moonlight, these corpses began to search themselves. As long as there was something useful, they would find it.
Unfortunately, Xu Bai didn’t see anything related to the progress bar, and this scene made him feel that something was wrong.
These people had died here and there were wounds all over their bodies. It was obvious that they had fought for a while.
Xu Bai made a hypothesis. If these people were fighting for something, or if there was some benefit that made them kill each other.
If that was the case, the people in the industry would definitely leave something behind.
After all, a dead person couldn’t take things away by themselves.
But now, there was nothing useful, let alone a progress bar.
There was only one answer.
Some people left alive and even took away the things here, including the secret manuals that could produce progress bars.
However, there was another problem. There were many corpses here, and it was impossible for one person to take them away. Therefore, there were many people who proved that they were still alive.
“I didn’t find any traces of movement, not even any footprints. From the looks of it, it should have been through flight, then…Those who left were at least at the mortal evolution state.”
According to the scan of his soul at the scene, he did not find any clues. Xu Bai had another guess.
In such a messy place, it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens to clean up all traces. Thus, the only way to leave was to fly away without leaving any traces.
“But the key is, which direction did these people leave from?”Xu Bai stroked his chin and pondered.
He had to chase after them. If those who left really took the secret manual away, according to the number of corpses here, even if it was halved, it would not be less.
With so many progress bars, how could they slip away from his hands?
Then the question was, which direction should they go?
Xu Bai stood rooted to the ground. After a moment, he put down his hand and looked at the figures around him who were controlled by him to stand up. Then, he snapped his fingers.
The next moment, the corpses began to run in all directions.
He was alone, so he definitely couldn’t search everywhere. Then, he would let these corpses search.
Now that the Corpse Controlling Technique had been integrated into all kinds of miscellaneous techniques, it had long reached the level of a saint. The range of control it could have was extremely wide.
