Chapter 374
Along the faint smell of blood, Shen Yanxiao quietly walked towards the depths of the jungle . At this moment, in order to be cautious, she hung the moonlight necklace on her neck . She then jumped directly to a nearby tree branch . By jumping on one branch to another, she swiftly moved forward .
Along the way, the smell of blood grew thicker . Shen Yanxiao noticed that on the patches of grass below, a few green leaves were contaminated with some blood which had not yet solidified .
It seemed that the the other party had just left recently .
A cry soon sounded out coming from between the jungle . Shen Yanxiao immediately leapt forward and looked towards the source of the sound .
Mount Ku Luo during the night was exceptionally eerie, and the faint smell of blood in the air made the horror more frightening .
More than ten black shadows were crouching in an open space surrounded with overgrown bushes and trees . They were positioned in a circle, and their slightly trembling shoulders seemed to be doing something .
Shen Yanxiao stood on a tree ten meters away . She squinted her eyes at more than ten of those shadows . A series of "Kacha, Kacha" sound came from among those fellows, and the smell of blood was very strong in here .
The moonlight was cast from among the thick foliage, and a wisp of moonlight illuminated the strange shadows along the bloody color between them .
Those fellows weren't humans . The spine on their backs which were curved into a strange shape wasn't covered with anything . And their dark black skin with uneven scales looked extremely eccentric . Shen Yanxiao could only see the backs of those fellows, but she already understood that those were probably the ones she was looking for —the demons .
She had to say that as far as figure was concerned, there were huge differences between demons and humans . Those protruding joints in their backbones weren’t something that human beings could have .
When Shen Yanxiao saw what those demons had been surrounding, her eyes couldn’t help but show a slight change .
Five or six mutilated men were thrown to the ground with their bellies opened up . Bright red blood stained the ground under their bodies . Their chests were brutally pried open, and their exposed internal organs were pulled out by the demons with their sharp fingernails . They broke them into pieces before chewing up a mouthful of it .
Looking at those people's clothes, they were clearly the mercenaries who had left before without permission . Who knew that after this group of mercenaries had left the camp, they would encounter frightening demons instead of magical beasts .
The sound of something crushing earlier was the sound of the demons gnawing at their flesh .
There was even one mercenary who hadn't died yet . His trembling hands were twisting convulsively, and his mouth was foaming from spitting out mouthfuls of blood . His abdomen had been torn apart by the demons' sharp fingernails, with his five viscera and six bowels torn out without any trace of politeness .
This bloody scene which was enveloped by the darkness of the night quietly played out .
Shen Yanxiao saw the demons for the first time, and she saw the scene of these demons as they killed humans . At this moment, her face had a trace of an odd expression . It was neither fear nor disgust, but a kind of indefinable expression .
If she were replaced by another person at this very moment, that person would immediately be frightened and flee from here after witnessing this all . But Shen Yanxiao didn't move and just stood on the branches while quietly watching the scene that most people couldn't bear to look at .
"Xiu, are those demons?" Shen Yanxiao asked softly . Those demons greedily devoured the mercenaries' bodies . Their process of eating was more like that of a beast than of a human .
