Chapter 1498 Surprised Dead Body!
In the following journey, Sima Youyue and his party would encounter some spirit beasts from time to time. The strength of the spirit beasts here is much higher than those outside. Even they would sometimes be chased by those spirit beasts and run all over the grassland.
It seems that the Xuanqiu family's research on this desert is beyond this oasis.
Except for the spirit beasts, more and more people arrived as they arrived. It seems that after the first force figured out a way, the others followed suit.
However, many people came, and many people died, and mutilated corpses were often seen on the road.
"We have been walking on the grassland for two months, but we still haven't found the mining area." Huahua sighed, chewing on the branches.
After eating so many branches in the past two months, Huahua's breath has changed day by day, which is very different from two months ago.
"It should be soon." Sima Youyue looked at the mountains ahead.
Generally, the mining areas are in the mountains, so they should be arriving soon. It's just that looking so close, I don't know how long it will take to get there.
"ah--"
A sharp cry came from ahead, and Sima Youyue keenly sensed the strangeness ahead.
"Death!" She said, and ran over there quickly.
Others quickly followed.
Sima Youyue ran through several valleys, and she saw a group of people wearing black cloaks, and several of them were carrying a corpse in their hands.
Seeing Sima Youyue and the others, the group of men in black turned around and flew away in a few moments.
Dong Laili and the others watched the men in black disappear from sight, frowning. "These people feel weird."
"Of course it's strange." Sima Youyue said, and quickly ran over to check the corpses left on the ground.
--really!
Dong Laili and the others ran over, seeing those corpses, they felt very uncomfortable.
"You said just now, of course it's strange, what do you mean?" Shui'er came behind Sima Youyue, saw her go through those corpses, a strong disgust flashed in her eyes.
"Literally." Sima Youyue felt her disdain, and didn't have a good impression of her.
Everyone in Dongnae's family was dissatisfied with her reaction. How dare a little foreign woman, with such low status and strength, dare to talk to them like this!
"You Yue, is there something on these corpses?" Xuan Qiuhe asked aloud, causing the subsequent questions from the Donglai family to die in his stomach.
Sima Youyue thought about the corpse, it would be too indecent for Xuan Qiuhe to hear it, so she stood up, condensed water attribute spiritual power, washed her hands, and dried it with a small bird. These are just a matter of ten seconds.
"Those people wearing black cloaks just now are dead corpses. They used death energy, and these corpses are also stained with it, so you feel uncomfortable looking at them." She explained to Xuan Qiuhe.
"Dead body? How is that possible? Don't talk nonsense!" Shui'er shouted.
Sima Youyue glanced at her, and said, "If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself! I think you should recognize death qi, right?"
"I..." Shui'er was at a loss for words, asked her to look through those corpses? She doesn't want it!
There was a sarcastic smile on the corner of Sima Youyue's mouth.
"Go and have a look." Shui'er commanded a maid and shouted.
"I..." The maid was also very reluctant, but she didn't dare not to listen. Holding back her nausea, she leaned over to turn over the corpse.
"If you're not sure about getting rid of the death energy from your body, it's best not to touch these corpses." Sima Youyue's voice sounded faintly, and the frightened man quickly withdrew his hand.
"You also believe what she says!" Shui'er shouted when she saw that her people were actually frightened by Sima Youyue.
"Sister Shui'er, I..."
"Go check it out, don't you want the young lady to know the truth?" Shui'er asked.
"That's not what I meant!" She wanted to ask Sima Youyue what she meant by that, but Shui'er was obviously very upset about what she did.
She was timid at first, and now she dared not refute, but she didn't want to mess with that corpse. The corpse gave her a very dangerous feeling.
"Let me do it." An older-looking maidservant beside her finished speaking, and leaned over to examine the corpses.
Shui'er glared at Sima Youyue displeasedly, nothing happened at all! Those who dare to scare Donglai's family, very good, very good!
"ah--"
The woman suddenly cried out in pain, and moved her body back, allowing people to see her red and swollen hands.
"Ah—it hurts!" The woman grabbed her wrist with her other hand, preventing the trend from spreading upwards.
"What's wrong with you?!" The maids of Donglai's family surrounded her, and when they saw her hand, they all backed away in fright.
But in just a few breaths, her fingers were already red, swollen and shiny, and someone accidentally poked them, and thick water flowed out of them, emitting a foul smell.
"What's going on here?" Dong Laili came over and asked.
The people she brought out were all the elite among the maidservants. Seeing her being tortured, she became anxious now.
"Resist with fire attribute!" Xuan Qiuhe said.
Fortunately, the maid herself was a fire attribute spiritualist, upon hearing Xuan Qiuhe's words, she quickly condensed her spiritual power to isolate her entire forearm. Since then, the red and swollen phenomenon has not continued to spread upwards.
"What's the matter?" Shui'er looked at the horrific hand, then suddenly turned to look at Sima Youyue, and said, "Is it your fault? You poisoned the corpse, didn't you deliberately punish us?"
"Hey——" Sima Youyue sneered, and said, "Miss Shui'er, if you want to wrong someone, you have to choose a good time! What she and I inspected is not the same corpse at all, how can I poison you? Besides, I I have already reminded you, but you didn’t listen to it yourself, so it doesn’t make sense to rely on me now.”
It was only then that everyone noticed that Sima Youyue inspected the corpse close to her, while the maid inspected the corpse tens of meters away from Sima Youyue but close to her own. If it is said that the poison is going to be poisoned in front of so many people, and everyone is concealed from it, in their opinion, this is also very unlikely.
"Miss Youyue, what's going on here? Why did you touch the corpse and it's fine, but my maid was injured?" Although Dong Laili's words were not as straightforward as Shui'er, there was a hint of questioning in it.
"Li, this has nothing to do with Youyue." Xuan Qiuhe didn't like her questioning Sima Youyue like that, and defended her aloud.
"I didn't say it was done by Miss Youyue. I just asked her what's going on." Dong Laili was unhappy that he defended Sima Youyue, and his face became even more serious.
"Actually, it's nothing." Sima Youyue said, "As I said, these people have death energy, and they still have a corrosive death energy. Your maid is not as good as mine, so of course she can't resist it. It's just that the dead air has corroded the fingers."
