Chapter 79: Soul Disappears

On the mountain road, the wind howled.

Everyone in the caravan all looked at Lu Heng in awe, thinking that Lu Heng had killed the terrifying evil beast Xiqu.

But Lu Heng knew in his heart that he didn't do anything at all.

He was even sure that no one was watching him with Dharma eyes this time, and that Xiqu running in the forest fell by himself.

This time, it really has nothing to do with him, Lu Heng!

Lu Heng looked at Xiao Ai beside him, and was about to speak, but saw Xiao Ai looking at him with extremely respectful eyes.

Obviously, even the little girl thought that the charging beast was scared to death by Lu Heng...

Seeing this scene, for some reason, Lu Heng suddenly felt a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart.

He wanted to tell everyone seriously - this time it really has nothing to do with me!

But obviously, even if Lu Heng really said that, everyone present would not believe it.

He was silent for a few seconds, and then said, "Xiao Ai, come with me and take a look."

After saying that, he walked directly into the forest and left Chidao.

In the forest with rustling leaves, there was a faint smell of blood drifting along the wind.

Lu Heng understood that the smell of blood might be the reason why Xiqu suddenly collapsed.

Probably before meeting everyone, Xiqu was already seriously injured. This ferocious beast ran all the way here, not to attack the people in the caravan, but to flee for its life in a panic.

But when it happened to rush in front of Lu Heng, its injuries worsened and it died immediately.

Because this scene was too coincidental, it looked like Xiqu rushed in front of Lu Heng and was frightened to death by Lu Heng...

Lu Heng didn't bother to defend himself. No one believed him anyway. He walked directly into the woods to check the cause of death of the strange beast Xiqu.

This ferocious beast has been entrenched here for decades, but it suddenly died today. There must be someone behind it.

Lu Heng wanted to see what kind of master killed this Xiqu.

Now go over there and maybe get a taste of exotic beasts.

Since Xiqu looks like a cow, does it taste similar to beef? Lu Heng was very curious.

As Lu Heng walked into the woods, the smell of blood in the air became stronger, and Xiao Ai, who was following closely behind, also smelled it.

The little girl's eyes narrowed slightly, and she subconsciously walked to the Lord Wolf God as a warning.

Soon, one man and one wolf passed through the dense bushes and saw the huge strange beast lying in the forest.

Xiqu's burly figure was like a hill, roughly estimated to be two feet high. With such a huge body, even if it is really just a cow, it can still give people a huge sense of oppression.

What's more, this rhinoceros has a ferocious face and blood-red eyes, making it much more ferocious and scary than ordinary cattle.

Just the blood-red eyes that opened with resentment were bigger than Xiao Ai's head.

Although Lu Heng's shrunken body was larger than an ordinary wild wolf, it was nothing compared to this terrifying beast.

"Lord Wolf God..."

Xiao Ai suddenly called out softly, pointing his finger at a terrifying crack on Xiqu's back.

On the back of this terrifying beast that looked like a giant bull, there was a huge wound with bones visible, and dark blood was constantly pouring out of the wound. As the strange black blood gushes out, a strange stench gradually fills the air.

Lu Heng's eyes instantly became serious.

Because the jet-black blood gushing out made him feel a strong evil aura.

Moreover, the color of the blood between Xiqu's mouth and nose was clearly blood red. But the blood pouring out of the wound on the corpse's back was contaminated, foul-smelling black blood.

Seeing this scene, Lu Heng knew that the person who killed Xiqu was probably not an expert, but some kind of weird evil thing...

"Go back," Lu Heng glanced at the woods in front of him with cold eyes and said, "It's better to do less than to do more!"

Although Lu Heng's sky thunder is the nemesis of evil spirits, evil spirits always have many tricks up their sleeves. If the other party does not confront him head-on, but attacks secretly, even if Lu Heng is not afraid, then everyone in the caravan will be in danger.

Moreover, Xiqu's corpse became so disgusting that even the blood had deteriorated, and Lu Heng had no appetite.

He led Xiao Ai back directly, intending to stay away from Xiqu's body.

But before the two of them had gone far, a strange sound suddenly sounded from the huge wound on Xiqu's back.

Gulu—Gulu—Gulu—

Dark blood bubbles kept pouring out of the wound, as if something was trying to crawl out.

A certain gloomy and terrifying aura lingered among Xiqu's corpse.

Lu Heng's eyes narrowed, and a thunderbolt struck out.

"disease!"

Boom!

A terrifying loud noise exploded among the mountains.

The blazing white sky thunder, carrying the mighty power of tribulation and punishment, turned the wilderness and dense forest pale, and even frightened everyone in the caravan on the road not far away.

After the lightning dissipated, the burly Xiqu's corpse had turned into a ball of charcoal, and even the bones had turned into black powder.

But above this huge mass of charcoal, a translucent shadow actually rose.

It was a rhinoceros that had shrunk many times, and was now struggling and roaring desperately in the void. But there was a dark chain on its back, pulling on it and trying to drag it into the dark forest.

And the location of the chain was exactly the wound on Xiqu's back!

Seeing this scene, Xiao Ai's eyes widened in shock.

"Lord Wolf God!" She said in disbelief, "This... is this a soul?"

Lu Heng nodded, his eyes gloomy.

The one locked by the black iron chain and struggling desperately in mid-air was obviously Xiqu's soul.

This was the first time he saw the soul of a dead thing.

In this world, there is no netherworld. After a person dies, the soul will dissipate between heaven and earth.

But it is obvious that Xiqu's soul is not going to dissipate, but was caught by some terrifying evil thing.

The black chain rattled, dragging the struggling Xiqu soul into the dark forest.

At the last moment, Lu Heng clearly saw that the originally translucent Xiqu soul was gradually stained with a strange black, emitting the evil spirit of demons and evil things.

In the end, under the gaze of Lu Heng and Xiao Ai, Xiqu's soul was dragged into the depths of the forest by the black chain and completely disappeared from their sight.

Xiao Ai also understood that there was someone else who killed Xiqu, and it was a demon...

"Lord Wolf God..." The little girl looked at Lu Heng, hesitant to speak, "Should we chase him?"

Lu Heng shook his head and said, "This matter has nothing to do with us. It is important to send Xin Sheng and the others down the mountain first. If the demon doesn't come to us, we will ignore it."

After that, Lu Heng led Xiao Ai out of the gloomy and strange forest.

Before leaving, he took a deep look at the direction where the black chain disappeared.

He didn't tell Xiao Ai that the demonic aura emitted by the black chain seemed to be from the same source as the demon species that appeared in the Shuisheng Village...

It seems that he has a good relationship with this Qingming Cave.
