bai wushang walked closer to take a look, and also revealed a shocked expression.

there was a corpse in the fat and greasy abdomen of the insect!

human corpses!

even though it had been corroded beyond recognition and was a mess of flesh and blood, the main outline of the body was still there and could be easily recognized.

based on his feelings, bai wushang thought that this was a man.

because he had broad shoulders and a broad body, some of his remaining body parts, such as his left hand and right foot, were thicker. he didn’t look like a woman at all.

xue zilin put on a pair of gloves and fumbled around the corpse, slowly opening his mouth,

” this is a big-mouthed worm that i encountered ten minutes ago. according to its size, it should be in the late stage of the mature stage. ”

” after killing it, i accidentally discovered that there was a human corpse under the tear that was exposed! ”

bai wushang thought quickly.

[ big-mouth worm, elite 2-star transcendent creature. ]

as its name suggested, this creature had a huge mouth full of extremely sharp teeth.

it had a brutal personality, was not afraid of death, and was very aggressive.

however, it had a strange habit. after killing its prey, the big-mouth worm liked to swallow the prey whole and put them in a food bag to slowly digest.

“this person must be master.”

xue zilin picked up a small green object and said,”look, this is the storage ring i found on him.”

an xiaorou, jiang feng, sobina, and even bai wushang had the same expression on their faces. their brows were tightly furrowed, and they looked grim.

in any other environment, it would be a common phenomenon to find human corpses in monsters, not worth mentioning.

however, this was a relic!

why were there human corpses?

according to the big-mouth worm’s digestive ability, even the body of a soul servant-class master could be completely eaten in a day.

now that most of the corpses were intact, it meant that it had been eaten less than half a day.

“could they have killed someone outside the ruins and then entered?” sobina muttered to herself.

“i can’t rule out this possibility, but … it might be an internal force,” an xiaorou said thoughtfully.

their exploration of the ruins was still limited.

just these stone doors were densely packed, with no end in sight.

after checking them one by one, all of them were egg rooms, and there were no new discoveries.

strictly speaking, the scale of the ruins hidden deep underground was not small.

” when we came in, we checked almost every inch of the place. we were extremely careful and did not find any traces of human activity. ” jiang feng said seriously.

bai wushang also actively participated in the discussion and put forward his own point of view, ”

“there are too many roads here. are there other entrances? it’s just that we don’t know about it. ”

xue zilin didn’t speak, he pondered for a few seconds, then took off his gloves.

he took out a bottle of potion from his storage ring and poured it on the green ring to kill the bacteria.

after the owner died, the storage ring would become ownerless.

by re-forming a blood contract, one could gain ownership of it.

however, generally speaking, masters would not carry too many storage items.

too many blood contracts would affect the burden on the soul. if it was too messy, it would slow down the speed at which the soul power circulated.

therefore, basically, everyone would pursue simplicity, and they would not casually bind unnecessary relics.

” fortunately, the ring isn’t damaged. i can take out the things inside. ”

xue zilin examined it carefully, cut his finger, and dripped his blood on it to claim ownership.

it was as if a basket had been thrown out, and a lot of miscellaneous items appeared on the ground.

bai wushang swept his eyes over them.’good fellow, he’s quite rich.’

there was a thick stack of gold notes and a bulging money bag, which would not be less than 20000 gold coins.

kurong grass, crystal flower, iron ginseng … seven to eight types of medicinal herbs, a total of five to six thousand.

there were even more messy monster materials, more than thirty of which were insect materials such as hard horns, shells, and thin wings.

there were also a few insect corpses that were relatively intact!

“this is irrefutable evidence …”

” there really are other people in the remains, ” jiang feng could not help but sigh. ” what the hell … ”

everyone’s mood was similar, they were all very subtle.

he had originally thought that this was a secret place and a place of treasure that had never been explored before.

now, he suddenly found out that there were other competitors.

the string in their hearts tightened even more.

humans and beasts were different. the latter leaned towards the wild, and even if they were strong, they had weaknesses to find.

however, human masters, not to mention their wisdom, each person’s identity, background, methods, and abilities were much more complicated.

such competitors were far more dangerous than wild beasts.

an xiaorou suddenly picked up a set of leather armor and pointed at a circular pattern on its back. she asked in confusion, ”

“i think i’ve seen this somewhere before …”

it was a black dog head the size of a palm. it bared its fangs and looked very fierce.

xue zilin and jiang feng were both shocked.

the two of them were out hunting, and it was like a normal meal for them.

under his influence, he learned more about the news from various channels.

“this is the wild dog mercenary group’s emblem!” jiang feng said with certainty.

” oh, ” an xiaorou replied, as if she was recalling something. her eyes flashed with a trace of coldness, ”

” i remember now. this is a private mercenary group. they do all kinds of burning and robbing, and they have a bad reputation. ”

“it’s far from bad!”

xue zilin shook his head, ” this mercenary group is active in the endless sand region. in the past year, they have killed at least three official members of the shanhai academy for no reason. they have long been on our must-kill list. if we see them, we must kill them! ”

after a few days of interaction, bai wushang was a little surprised to find out that xue zilin and an xiaorou were actually part of the law enforcement team.

sobina was a member of the alchemy department.

jiang feng was the only one who didn’t like to rely on the department. he preferred a carefree and free life.

“how strong is this mercenary group?”

bai wushang asked a crucial question.

the danger of these remains was self-evident. unless one’s individual strength was extremely strong, the best choice was to act in a team.

moreover, the other party had a team to begin with, so there was a high probability that they would explore together.

” my information is limited. i only know that this group of people is very cunning. the law enforcement team has failed in two patrols. ” xue zilin frowned.

jiang feng stroked his mustache and said to himself, ”

” i’ve heard some news. this mercenary group has quite a number of people, about fifteen. ”

” however, as you all know, most of the desert hunters are inferior masters. their initial soul power is only at the early or middle stage of spiritualist. they also lack sufficient resources and have limited room for growth in their lives. ”

” they’ve purely relied on the accumulation of time to improve their strength. this mercenary group has an average of young men in their thirties or forties, with the majority of them being men. ”

“as for the levels of the pets, all of them are mature. most of them are in the late stage of the mature stage, and many of them are in the peak stage.”

” the two strongest people should be ‘big dog’ and ‘second dog’. they are a pair of blood brothers, and they are also the head and second head of the mercenary group. they are ruthless and unscrupulous. their pets are dog-type, which is how they got their name. ”
