Chapter 484
The night fell silently .
Shen Yanxiao sat in her room, waiting for the right time to come .
Vermilion Bird stood beside her in a well-behaved manner, waiting for his master’s actions .
All of a sudden, a sound of noise came from the window . Shen Yanxiao who was preparing to act was momentarily startled . She just wanted to move when the door was pushed open by Uncle Jiu .
No trace of expression could be seen on Uncle Jiu's face . He looked at the two little guys in the room and said in a heavy tone, "There's something out there . I'm going to take care of it . You two don't go out of the room . It's not safe at night . "
Shen Yanxiao nodded honestly .
Uncle Jiu hastily left .
The moment Uncle Jiu turned away, a faint smell of blood drifted from him .
Shen Yanxiao narrowed her eyes . As soon as Uncle Jiu left, she immediately got up and opened the door .
"Vermilion Bird, did you smell it?" Shen Yanxiao asked .
Vermilion Bird sniffed at the surroundings .
"There’s a scent of medicine and a little bloody smell?" The Mythological Beasts' sense of smell was very sensitive, even in such a strong aroma of herbs, he still caught the smell of blood .
Shen Yanxiao wrinkled her brows into a frown . This village truly gave her a very strange feeling . She looked up to the window and peered outside . Under the shadow of the moon, she could see some black shadows running on the village road at a very fast speed .
Those shadows were very fast and she couldn’t clearly see what they were .
"Go, let's go and see . " Shen Yanxiao always felt that Uncle Jiu was odd . Though she felt no malice on him, his interruption of Old Ba just a while ago, and the faint smell of blood made her feel strange .
While Uncle Jiu was gone, Shen Yanxiao followed the faint scent of blood and went deep into the house .
Finally, she found the source of the bloody smell in the corner of the kitchen .
The smell came from beneath the slate of the kitchen corner .
Vermilion Bird moved his fingers and the piece of stone directly turned up, a dark downward passage appeared in front of them .
"Wait here, and tell me when someone came . " At the moment the slate opened, the smell of blood became even more intense . Shen Yanxiao decided to go down in person to see what it was, perhaps she could find answers to the mystery of the village .
Vermilion Bird nodded .
Shen Yanxiao took out a light-congealing crystal from her ring and headed down the passage with its light .
A narrow staircase went straight to the bottom . The further Shen Yanxiao walked down, the clearer she could smell the bloody smell along with the fragrance of some herbs .
All the way down, a small stone room appeared in front of Shen Yanxiao . The stone room was less than twenty square meters, decorated with four wooden beds, and on each bed lay an unconscious man .
On both sides of the stone room were countless large and small medicine pots . Shen Yanxiao could tell from the smell that most of the medicinal herbs in these medicine pots were used to heal wounds .
She walked towards the four wooden beds, and through the glow of the light-congealing crystal, she saw the faces of the four people .
They were young men in their twenties . Their faces were basically covered with wounds, and looking at the wounds, they should have received them half a month ago . Moreover, according to the residue of the medical decoction on the wound, it could be guessed that these people should have been treated with a certain amount of medication .
Uncle Jiu's house suddenly popped out such a basement, and there were four lying unconscious men inside . This really made Shen Yanxiao feel very weird .
And what made her more surprised was that when she checked the four people, she found some badges belonging to the Caves Wolves Mercenary Corps!
