"But if we don't know what is written, how can we be sure what Pang Zuo wants to tell us?" Keqing asked.

Ye Luo nodded repeatedly: "Good question, I really want to know the answer to this question now."

Thinking of this, Keqing sighed, "It would be great if Mr. Zhongli was here. He is well-versed in history and current affairs, so he would definitely be able to handle this kind of thing."

Ye Luo looked around and saw several deep scratches on a tree.

It was these scratches that aroused Ye Luo's suspicion: "These don't look like knife marks."

Fengyuan Manye answered directly: "This is the claw mark of the beast hound!"

"Bleeding dog?" Ye Luo blinked: "Are there any beast hounds on this island?"

Beidou and Fengyuan Manye answered in unison: "On the way to find you, the two of us encountered two not-so-powerful young beast hounds."

Ye Luo stroked his chin, thinking: "So, what really trapped them was not the pirates, but the complicated environment on the island and monsters like this. It seems that Xu Cheng did not lie..."

Feng Yan said: "If that's the case, then they are in even greater danger. Although Xu Cheng is sinister, he is still a human being. If he encounters a monster, it will be a fierce battle."

"Just think about the centipede we encountered. It caused us a lot of trouble as soon as it appeared. Pang Zuo and his men encountered Xu Cheng's pirates first. If they encountered monsters after a fierce battle, then..."

Keqing quickly stopped him: "Hey! Stop talking!"

Ye Luo looked at Keqing, who was a little agitated, and quickly patted her on the back to calm her down.

Keqing has been on edge these days. Her goal has always been to bring these trapped Qianyan soldiers back safely. At the same time, she also promised Yuqing that she would definitely fulfill her promise.

But if there is any accident...

Keqing doesn't dare to think...

Ye Luo said: "Although we can't understand the words left by Pang Zuo, it at least proves that there are traces of him being here. Since there are scratches of monsters here, we might as well follow the scratches and maybe we can find him."

Keqing looked very nervous and breathed heavily: "This is the only way. Gather the team and keep moving forward."

Feng Yan called on all the Qianyan soldiers to assemble, and sent out the two most agile and psychologically competent men to serve as scouts and go ahead.

The others followed behind, advancing slowly while waiting for news from the scouts.

Along the way, everyone remained silent for a long time and no one said a word.

Everyone fell into a subtle atmosphere, especially Keqing. She looked very anxious, and Ye Luo could easily see her anxiety at the moment.

This silence continued until two painful screams were heard at the end of the forest.

"What's that sound!" Ye Luo immediately shouted alertly.

Everyone pricked up their ears, looking focused, carefully determining the source of the sound.

Keqing made a prompt decision and immediately pointed out the correct direction: "Over there, follow me!"

The others looked at each other and followed without much hesitation.

Ye Luo was left behind at the end. He did not catch up immediately, but prayed silently. After a while, he finally caught up.

Passing through the dense forest, Keqing flashed out in an instant like a bolt of lightning, standing with her sword drawn.

The next second, the scene before her shocked her.

Those were the two scouts that had been sent out earlier. They were covered in blood, their chests were completely blown apart, and they had lost any chance of survival.

When the others rushed over, the expressions they showed were exactly the same as Keqing's.

Feng Yan's pupils trembled, his body went limp, and he knelt down in front of the two corpses, his voice trembling: "What...what happened? They are the two most skilled people in the Qianyan Army that came this time..."

Ye Luo walked over slowly with a gloomy face. He gently held the two people's already cold hands, his heart twitching.

"Why on earth... We have tried our best to do everything, why did this happen..."

Keqing clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. Although she remained silent, tears had been lingering in her eyes for a long time.

This is why Beidou and Kaedehara Manye still dare not tell her what happened on the ship.

Fengyuan Manye said: "I guess this place is very close to the monster's lair... The two Qianyan Army brothers may have been attacked by monsters."

Beidou agreed: "After all, this doesn't look like an ordinary injury. If it was an ordinary human who could cause such destructive power, extraordinary means must have been used."

Keqing's face was gloomy as she slowly walked past the two dead Qianyan soldiers: "Let's... continue looking for people..."

Feng Yan looked up at her, nodded slightly, and called on the other Qianyan soldiers to dig a pit together and bury the sacrificed Qianyan soldiers on the spot.

Ye Luo stared at Keqing's thin back from behind, his brows drooping slightly.

"Master Keqing, are you okay?"

Keqing didn't say anything, but turned her back to Ye Luo and shook her head gently.

"Every member of the Thousand Rock Army is ready to sacrifice their lives in order to choose to protect, right?"

"Their deaths will not be in vain. No matter who the real murderer is, I will avenge them."

Beidou leaned on his sword and looked at Keqing seriously, with a meaningful look in his eyes.

Meanwhile, in one corner of the coast...

The ground was littered with corpses of the Qianyan Army, blood flowed like a river, and the place was in a mess.

Standing on the opposite side was a gigantic python with two fangs as sharp as knives and a body as huge and hard as steel.

Pang Zuo was breathing heavily, his helmet had been knocked off and his hair was scattered messily on his bloody face.

He tightly grasped the no-longer-sharp white tasseled spear in his hand. His arms, legs, back, and waist were all covered with scars and bloodstains.

He was already seriously injured, but his eyes were still firm when facing this huge python that was several meters taller than him.

The python spit out its tongue and stared at Pang Zuo with greedy and bloodthirsty eyes. But in fact, it was also seriously injured. It was attacked by the Qianyan Army in turns. After paying countless lives, this big snake was already in danger of death.

Pang Zuo sneered: "You beast! Your death is near!"

The big snake opened its bloody mouth and pounced towards Pang Zuo with all its might. This was its last fight, and its goal was to bite Pang Zuo to death with one bite.

Pang Zuo raised his gun, shouted loudly, then turned around and stabbed the snake's mouth hard.
