1171 Dried Body
Seeing that the dozen or so people were chasing after him and passing through a large area of the sky in the blink of an eye, Chu Nan’s heart stirred and he still followed.
However, he was not in a hurry to catch up. Instead, he followed from afar and let those people maintain their perception.
After the dozen or so people flew for more than 300 kilometers in the sky, the group of people had already chased into a mountain.
The surrounding mountains were surrounded by clouds. As soon as everyone flew in, they immediately disappeared.
However, they had always been in Chu Nan’s perception range. Now that they were all mobilizing spatial energy to fly with all their might, they were as bright as lights in the night and were not worried that they would leave like this.
Therefore, Chu Nan still estimated the distance and slowly followed behind. He was still not in a hurry to catch up.
The reason why he chose to do this was completely because he was very curious.
Since that guy had come to participate in the Garden Hunting Assembly, why had no news been released?
Although Chu Nan felt that he could not be considered a good friend of that guy, their relationship was definitely not that unfamiliar. That guy clearly knew very well that he would definitely participate in the Garden Hunting Assembly, so why did he not contact him in advance?
Moreover, if Chu Nan was not wrong, the figure he saw in the space station was this guy.
At that time, he would definitely have seen him, but he did not come up to meet him. Instead, he directly avoided him and left. This was too incompatible.
The most important reason was that Chu Nan had glanced over and discovered that that guy should have fled ahead with his other four companions.
Be it that guy or his other four companions, they emitted an aura that made Chu Nan feel uncomfortable.
This made Chu Nan very concerned. Therefore, although he wanted to go up and grab that guy to ask, he still planned to observe first.
With his clear perception, Chu Nan was still following behind those people. After walking around the surrounding mountains for a while, he suddenly heard an extremely miserable scream coming from the mountain peak ahead.
Chu Nan was immediately stunned. He spread his senses over with all his might and discovered that there was already a spatial energy fluctuation missing from the people ahead. Clearly, at that moment, someone had already been heavily injured or even directly killed.
“Could it be that guy…”
Chu Nan’s heart skipped a beat. He no longer deliberately suppressed it and increased his speed in the direction of the scream.
A moment later, he had already arrived beside an especially tall mountain.
With his powerful A.I.-like brain, he was certain that the scream had happened at this location. However, when he looked around, his vision was covered in clouds, so it was very difficult to see further.
However, the only thing Chu Nan focused on was that he immediately discovered a faint bloody aura coming from below.
Chu Nan immediately floated down along the smell of blood. Before long, he discovered a corpse on a tree trunk at the waist of a mountain.
Flying to the corpse and looking at it, Chu Nan immediately frowned.
This corpse was lying on the tree trunk with its head facing up. Its limbs were drooping and there was a huge hole in its chest. It seemed that it was a fatal injury.
In this huge hole, the place where the heart should have been was now empty. It actually looked like it had been dug out.
This was not what attracted Chu Nan’s attention the most.
Chu Nan’s gaze landed on the corpse’s face and he frowned.
From the situation where blood was still flowing out of the wound on the corpse’s chest, he should have just died, but this guy’s entire body seemed to be extremely withered. His flesh seemed to have completely shriveled, and his face was extremely pale and completely pale.
It would be fine if a person who had been dead for a long time had such an expression, but he had clearly just died. How did he become like this?
Moreover, this guy’s eyes were deep and his cheeks were also deep. Coupled with the situation of his body, it was as if his entire body had been sucked dry.
“How did this guy die to become like this?”
As soon as the question arose in Chu Nan’s mind, another scream sounded from the clouds on the right.
Chu Nan immediately flew over and soon, he discovered another corpse on a protruding rock on a mountain.
This corpse was the same as the corpse Chu Nan had discovered earlier. It was as if its flesh and essence had been extracted and it seemed to have turned into a dried corpse.
While Chu Nan was still checking the situation of this corpse, two screams sounded from two different directions.
The scream only sounded for a moment before it stopped, as if someone had suddenly grabbed his neck.
Chu Nan no longer flew in the direction of the scream. Instead, he focused and released his senses with all his might.
With his current strength, if he sensed with all his might, it was enough to include the fluctuations of spatial energy in all the space in a radius of more than a thousand kilometers with him as the center.
This time, he released his perception with all his might and immediately sensed that there were a total of 11 special energy fluctuations moving at high speed in the mountain peak.
Five of the spatial energy fluctuations gave Chu Nan the same feeling as the guy he had seen and his four companions, proving that the five of them were fine. The four people who were already dead clearly belonged to the people chasing them.
The five of them were now scattered around the mountain peak, and the remaining seven people chasing them were also scattered.
However, Chu Nan could clearly sense that the five of them seemed to have a special contact method between them. Clearly, they could cooperate extremely tacitly and easily gather to attack the lone pursuers.
Their strength was clearly not weak. Against so many enemies, they could naturally easily complete the kill.
Chu Nan had only released it for three minutes before two more people were killed. Screams sounded from the mountain peak and shook slightly between the mountains, filled with a miserable and terrifying feeling.
From this point, the five of them had probably been chased by more than ten people on purpose just now. They wanted to lure them to these mountains to set up an ambush and kill them.
At this moment, the remaining five pursuers seemed to have sensed danger. In Chu Nan’s senses, some of the five scattered fellows flew into the sky with all their might, and some flew back in the direction they had entered the mountains. Clearly, they planned to escape separately.
“Heh, I’ve already fallen into a trap. How can I escape so easily?”
Chu Nan grinned and shook his head.
With a glance just now, he could confirm that other than that guy, none of these people were people he knew and had an impression of. If they were dead, so be it. He did not have that much sympathy.
As expected, after another ten minutes, although the remaining five people fled separately, other than the only one who darted to the top and suddenly dissipated his aura to escape Chu Nan’s perception, the remaining four people emitted different screams. Clearly, they had all been defeated and died.
Feeling the auras of the five of them gather again, Chu Nan had a thought and his Internal Breath flowed. The spatial energy around him suddenly fluctuated intensely and instantly erupted with a powerful aura.
As expected, as soon as he released his aura, he sensed that the five of them only paused for a moment before flying over.
Before long, the five auras arrived in front of him.
Five figures suddenly darted out from the cloud at the same time and five terrifying blood-colored hands slapped Chu Nan.
Before his palm could approach, Chu Nan smelled a strong bloody aura that made him want to vomit. It almost made him nauseous.
Chu Nan frowned. The Lightning Star Cloud in his dantian circulated at high speed and strands of lightning condensed around him. At the same time, they emitted a faint golden light. It was the Arhat Overlord Golden Body that had fused with a high-level wind elemental power cultivation method and blocked the five palms that slapped over at the same time.
Then, he turned his head slightly and his gaze landed on the face of the person attacking him from the left.
After seeing that person’s face, Chu Nan could not help but cry out in surprise.
“Feng Mingxi, how did you become like this?!”
