Chapter 374: 374
Shen Yanxiao walked noiselessly into the depths of the forest as she followed the faint scent of blood . She wore the Moonlight Necklace and jumped on a tree branch immediately after that . She rapidly made her way forward on the tree branches .
As she traversed forth, the blood scent thickened . Shen Yanxiao noticed that some grass on the ground was stained with fresh blood . It seemed like whatever creature that did that had left only a few moments ago .
Shen Yanxiao could hear a muffled shout from inside the forest, and she immediately leaped toward it .
Mount Kuluo was exceptionally eerie and scary at night . The terrifying atmosphere intensified with the smell of blood in the air .
Shen Yanxiao could see many black shadows crouched in open space among the trees, and they had formed a circle . Their shoulders shook; it seemed like they were busy with something .
Shen Yanxiao was on a tree about ten meters away, and she narrowed her eyes to get a sharper view of those silhouettes . She could hear snapping sounds from those black figures, and the blood scent that surrounded them intensified .
The moonlight seeped through the leaves, and strands of it lit up those oddly-shaped silhouettes . At the same time, it also revealed a puddle of blood in their midst .
Shen Yanxiao realized that those figures were not humans . Their bent back was crooked in a strange shape, and they did not have a single shred of cloth to cover their bodies . There were also weird, uneven scales all over their black skin . Shen Yanxiao could only see their backs, but she knew that they were what she had been searching for—demonic beasts .
They had bones that protruded from their backs, something that was inherently different than a human .
The look on her face changed when she realized what was in the middle of the circle and surrounded by those demonic beasts .
Five to six humans with their chests ripped open were scattered on the ground, and their fresh blood dyed the soil beneath their bodies . Their internal organs were exposed; those demons had pulled them out with their sharp claws to chew on them .
Shen Yanxiao deduced that they were the mercenaries who had left the camp without permission . She bet that they had not expected to encounter demons instead of magical beasts .
The crushing and snapping sounds that she had heard were noises that the demons had made as they gnawed on the humans’ bones and flesh .
One unlucky mercenary was still alive, and she could see how his twisted hand had trembled . He vomited a large quantity of blood as those demons tore his abdomen open with their sharp claws . Then they pulled his internal organs out .
That grisly scene had occurred soundlessly under the night sky .
That was the first time that Shen Yanxiao had seen the rumored demon beasts . Even though she had seen how the demons killed the humans, she had a rather odd expression on her face . It did not look like it was fear or disgust, but it was something that one could not explain .
If someone else had seen the same scene, they would have run away in fright . However, Shen Yanxiao remained unmoved . She stood quietly on the tree branch and continued to look at the disgusting and unendurable scene .
“Xiu, are those demons?” Shen Yanxiao whispered as she pointed to the creatures that had swallowed the mercenaries’ bodies so greedily . One could not say that their eating behavior was like a human . Instead, it was much more similar to a wild beast .
