Everyone stopped and looked at the human corpses. Zhao Tianyang nodded and said, "It's them."

Everyone understood the meaning of his words. He was talking about them, and he meant that they were members of the team that explored north yesterday.

"It seems that they walked all the way here before they were attacked by two stone-clawed beasts. After that, they lost five people, but the two stone-clawed beasts were also killed." Sun Yaojie analyzed.

Zhong Ding said: "Although five people died, there are still nearly forty people left. They should have continued to move forward." As he spoke, he pointed forward.

About a hundred meters ahead, there was a colorful cloud shrouded in mist. Everyone understood that those were the miasma and poisonous mist in the swamp, and they did not dare to be contaminated.

"It's a pity that the damn dust covered up the footprints on the ground, otherwise it would be clearer where they went." Sun Yaojie sighed.

Zhao Tianyang supported Wu Die, the woman next to him, pointed with his hand and said: "Let's go there and avoid this poisonous fog. I think those people yesterday should also avoid it. They will never directly

Walking into the poisonous fog."

"Well, these clouds are colorful. Normal people will know there must be something weird when they see it. They shouldn't be so stupid." Among the crowd, Miao Fu, who was originally a conductor, said.

Others also nodded, and a group of a hundred people began to walk to the right, exploring carefully. When they finally got around the colorful cloud that covered a wide area, suddenly, everyone was shaken and stopped.

They looked at each other, with a look of shock but excitement in their eyes.

After bypassing this cloud and mist, the scene that appeared in front of everyone suddenly changed dramatically.

This area has always been a scene of water plants and mud everywhere, plus some bushes and some trees.

But at this moment, far away from everyone, among the bushes, sparse trees and water plants, the shadow of the building appeared faintly.

The first thing I saw was the ruins of a collapsed building a hundred meters ahead.

"Let's go -" Zhong Ding shouted.

Everyone could no longer contain their excitement and began to run.

Although what you see in front of you is just a pile of ruins of buildings that have collapsed to the point where it is almost difficult to distinguish their former appearance, it is a huge hope for everyone who has almost fallen into despair and sees no future.

Since there are buildings, it means that people have lived here before. Even if it has become a ruins now, it also represents a kind of hope.

Perhaps, the real human settlement area is not far from here.

"Damn it, couldn't it be that those boys found a way out and ignored us and left on their own?" Everyone saw the ruins of the building in front of them and couldn't help but start to speculate.

Originally, most people guessed that the people in this team probably encountered a large number of stoneclaw beasts, and maybe they were all dead, but now it seems that this may not be the case.

They quickly arrived at a distance of 100 meters. Everyone slowed down. The buildings were so badly damaged that they could only see piles of broken masonry walls, but they were covered with plants and grass.

, looks very old.

"Look -" Among the crowd, Zhong Ding screamed again.

Lin Xiao, Sun Yaojie and others hurriedly walked over, only to see that behind a broken brick wall, there was solidified blood everywhere, and the corpse of a stone-clawed beast and three human corpses were lying there twisted.

It could be vaguely seen that there had been a fierce fight between them.

"Everyone go in and take a look, but be careful. Stone-clawed beasts can easily be hidden in places like this." Zhao Tianyang raised his voice.

Others couldn't help but grab the thick wooden sticks and short knives in their hands, and then began to enter the ruins of the building, wanting to see if there was anything valuable left here.

As they groped inside, everyone was secretly shocked. The ground was littered with corpses of stone-clawed beasts and humans.

Looking along the way, I saw at least seven or eight stone-clawed beast corpses and twenty or thirty human corpses.

These human corpses were all members of the eighth team that explored the north at that time.

Everyone looked at these human corpses and vaguely guessed in their hearts that this eighth team was probably ambushed here with its entire army, and it was not that they found a way out and left alone without caring about them.

Lin Xiao held a thick wooden stick in his right hand and a short knife in his left hand. He followed Sun Yaojie, Fang Zhirong and Wu Wenxu. Not far behind him, there were two girls, Fang Xinyi and Han Yu.

Suddenly, Lin Xiao seemed to realize something, and turned around suddenly. Almost at the same moment, about ten meters away, from behind a dilapidated wall that collapsed to only half a meter high, a group of slender black shadows burst out.

"Ah, be careful -" Beside the wall, there were several people looking around. Some of them reacted quickly and couldn't help shouting.

With sharp eyes, Lin Xiao saw clearly almost instantly that the slender black shadow that jumped out from the wall turned out to be an unprecedentedly huge snake and python.

This snake python, according to a rough estimate, is at least four meters long from head to tail, with a waist as thick as an adult's thigh, and its entire body is khaki, with patches of black spots appearing on it.

The speed was as fast as lightning, and it sprang out in an instant. Even Lin Xiao just turned around in surprise and had no time to make any other movements.

With a "thick" sound, the thick snake python sprang out, opened its mouth, and bit a young man closest to the wall at once.

The young man screamed sharply and was knocked back two steps by the thick snake and python.

The giant snake swung its tail, and with a "snap", another Miao Fu, who had just been thinking about rushing to save him, was whipped away.

Miao Fu screamed. The giant snake was more than four meters long and as thick as an adult's thigh. A flick of its tail could weigh hundreds of kilograms.

Hitting Miao Fu's chest, he felt as if his chest had been hit by a giant hammer. He groaned and fell down. The breath in his chest could not be recovered for a long time.

Lin Xiao, Fang Xinyi, Han Yu, Sun Yaojie, Zhao Tianyang and others had already reacted and pounced on the giant earth-yellow snake.

Since entering this poisonous mist swamp, the dangers they have encountered have always come from stoneclaw beasts. This is the first time they have encountered a second terrifying monster besides stoneclaw beasts.

After the giant earth-yellow snake bit the unknown young man's neck, it immediately retracted without giving him a chance to fight back, leaving only a few deep snake bite and fang marks on the young man's neck.

The young man's pupils were dilated and he stared at the giant earth-yellow snake. He made a "gurgling" sound in his mouth. He pressed his neck with his left hand and pointed the wooden stick in his right hand at the giant earth-yellow snake. He seemed to want to attack the giant earth-yellow snake.

Suddenly his eyes rolled up, and he fell straight to the sky. His face turned exactly the same khaki color as the giant snake, with black spots the size of fingernails appearing on it, and the spots on his neck that were bitten by the snake.

If there is a blood stain, black blood will gush out.

After falling to the ground, he expired.

"This snake is poisonous -" Zhao Tianyang couldn't help shouting loudly, with a look of shock on his face.

In just a few seconds, the young man was bitten by a giant earth-yellow snake and died immediately. What kind of poison was this? Is it so terrifying?

An atmosphere of fear spread among the people around.

Lin Xiao jumped out with lightning, and slammed the thick wooden stick in his hand towards the retracted earth-yellow snake.

In terms of speed, after possessing the parasite of a small stone-clawed beast in his body, his speed has become the best among all.

The giant earth-yellow snake jumped out diagonally, swung its tail, and moved like lightning. It unexpectedly avoided Lin Xiao's wooden stick in an instant. The smaller half of the snake's body was suspended in the air. It was almost no shorter than Lin Xiao when it was lifted up. It was about to bite him in the same way.

Lin Xiao.

Almost at the same moment, there was a "whoosh" sound, a white light flashed in the air, and a short knife flew over, instantly piercing the thick body of the earth-yellow snake.

The giant earth-yellow snake, which had been severely injured, let out a strange silky cry from its mouth. It raised the snake's head, which was originally about to bite Lin Xiao, but also jerked away.

After Lin Xiao smashed the wooden stick into the air, he had already pulled out the short knife with his left hand and slashed it forward.

Just one stroke can exert hundreds of kilograms of force.

With a "chi" sound, he cut off the head of the giant earth-yellow snake up to the neck. Then, he retreated violently to prevent the blood in the snake's body from being highly poisonous.
