The depressed atmosphere was spreading, Qiao Xin tightened the branches in her hands, these damn human traffickers.

"Xin, Xin." Lang Yu's voice was low, "I saw someone."

Lang Yu spread his legs from the river bank and ran towards him, followed by Leopard Star.

Lang Rui transformed into his animal form while running. Lang Yu and Leopard Star instantly got behind his legs. They looked up and found that they were too tall and too big for concealment, so they started running back again.

Being able to hide at such a close distance without being discovered by Lang Rui made him prepare for it.

Lang Rui was very fast. When he saw the so-called person floating on the river, "...!"

Qiao Xin held the scimitar in her hand and stood side by side with Lang Rui on the river bank, looking at the "people" floating down the river.

"Dead." Qiao Xin has seen many more dead people than living people, and she can tell the difference between dead and alive as soon as she looks up.

Lang Rui pursed his lower lip and said, "It's a slave."

A few people did not stay on the shore, packed up their things, and set off under the scorching sun.

There are still a few days away from Blackthorn City, but unexpectedly, we see dead slaves. I don't know if this is a coincidence or something happened.

Soon they realized that it was no coincidence. As they went west, more and more bodies were seen floating down the river.

Each corpse exuded a stench, so Qiao Xin used animal skins moistened with spiritual spring water to cover everyone's noses to block the possible plague.

"Are you sure this river will not merge into the Piranha River?" If it does, they must return immediately.

Lang Rui nodded affirmatively, "This is a branch of the Qin River, and it merges into the Jing River in Black Rock City."

The Piranha River flows directly into the sea.

After walking ten miles, the further we go, the higher the number of corpses. There are already hundreds of them.

As time went by, the bodies we saw were still decaying.

The vigilance in Lang Rui's mind was raised to the highest level.

As night fell, everyone seemed to be covered with a layer of protection. Lang Rui found a cave for Qiao Xin and the others to rest.

Several people made a tacit agreement not to light a fire outdoors for cooking.

Qiao Xin didn't go into the space to cook. She stayed outside, which was considered a point of combat strength. She gave each person two pieces of dried meat and slept with her clothes on.

"Do you want to return?" Niu Biao asked.

Lang Rui shook his head, "This place is only 40 sunsets away from the Huaxia tribe. It's too close. We need to understand what happened to avoid darkness under the lamp."

Qiao Xin's adrenaline continued to secrete, and she was ready to feel the excitement she had not experienced in a long time. "With so many corpses, they did not choose to bury them, but threw them into the river in the most convenient way. Something must have happened ahead."

Lang Rui cleared his throat, "Orcs are not buried after death. They are thrown deep into the forest and returned to nature."

It can also be regarded as food for the wild beasts.

Qiao Xin, "...the city too?"

Lang Rui, "The dead people in the city will be gathered in one place, the human flesh market, and sold to the cannibal tribe."

Yue...!

Qiao Xin couldn't help but vomited, "Throwing these away, doesn't it mean too many people died?" It was too late to eat and it stunk?

"I have to go check out the situation. You guys stay here and wait." Lang Rui didn't want them to take risks, but he couldn't go back without knowing anything.

Qiao Xin was worried, "I'll go with you."

Lang Rui thought about Qiao Xin's physical skills. It was indeed okay for her to go, but others could not go. "You two stay here and watch the cubs. If we don't come back in five days, you will return immediately."

Niu Biao's eyes widened. Hearing that he was not being taken with him, Niu Biao became anxious and said, "It's too dangerous. I'll go and let Master Qiao Xin stay."

Mao Bai patted his arm, which was thicker than his thigh, "Your size is so eye-catching, you might as well go with me!"

"That won't work. You can't fight and run, but you can't run. So you went to deliver food!"

The cat gave him a blank look, "So neither of us will cause trouble."

When Lang Rui saw that Mao Bai had convinced Niu Biao, Qiao Xin took out enough food for a month from the space and warned, "You can find another place to hide tomorrow and just leave a mark. Remember, we won't come back after five days. Return immediately."

This was said to Mao Bai, he could control Niu Biao.

Mao Bai nodded and watched the two of them disappear into the night.

Qiao Xin did not ride a horse, but a wolf.

Lang Rui ran at full power all night, and when the sun rose, he found a place to hide.

The two of them ate something casually and squinted for a while.

Awakened by the sound of barking dogs, the two of them sat up in shock, both hands on the knives at their waists.

Listen carefully.

In addition to the barking of dogs, there were more than a dozen chasing footsteps and a chaotic sound.

The two of them hid in the tree and looked towards the sound. The first thing that appeared in front of them was a tall male with a green vine tied around his leg, strangling the bleeding spot, and there were bite wounds all over his body.

He didn't look back at all, he just ran forward with all his strength.

When the man appeared, all the blood in Lang Rui's body rushed to his head. He bent his bow and drew an arrow. When the orc behind the man appeared, the arrow pierced into the man's eye socket with a whistling sound and came out through the brain. , with the remaining momentum, penetrated the person behind him.

Three other shorter arrows followed, hitting the other three.

Qiao Xin's archery power is not as good as Lang Rui's, but her arrow speed is fast, and she can fire three arrows at once.

In a few rounds, without waiting for the opponent to react, he will catch all those who are chasing him.

Several slender-legged dogs eventually followed their owners home.

The person they rescued disappeared from sight at this time. He was standing on the tree and escaping, but he didn't see it.

Qiao Xin tsked lightly and looked sideways at Lang Rui without thinking about this person.

I saw him lightly raising his eyelids, looking into the distance, quickly chasing after him, and disappearing into the forest with a few light hops.

Qiao Xin did not chase after him, but took out the animal skin, dipped it in the spiritual spring water, covered her mouth and nose, and started digging a hole with a shovel.

As soon as they were buried, a familiar whistle sounded in the distance. After filling in the last shovelful of soil, they gave a funny salute, "See you again, Rock Dog Clan."

When Qiao Xin saw Lang Rui, she could see the uneasiness in his eyes. She stepped forward and pried off his fingers one by one. There were blood marks on his palms.

Qiao Xin opened her fingers and interlocked with his, making sure that he would not hurt her again, and then went to look at the man who was running away.

The man was so skinny that he almost looked like a skeleton with a layer of skin attached to it, worse than the man she had rescued from the flood.

And there were old and new wounds everywhere on his body, except for his face which was intact.

But it was too dirty and she couldn't tell the appearance. She could barely tell that it was silver hair, which made her look at Lang Rui sharply.

Lang Rui said with a cold face, "It's my eldest brother."

Qiao Xin was surprised. Looking at the old scars on this man's body, it was obvious that they were accumulated over time. It would have been if Lang Rui's second father, the eldest brother's father, had participated in joining forces with outsiders to destroy the Silver Wolf clan.

Then he shouldn't be here, let alone have so many injuries.

"Let's find a place to wait until he wakes up."

Lang Rui took a deep breath. No matter how many questions he had, he had to wait until someone woke up.
