  Su Yu and Ma Zi Ye crouched together, quietly making their way through the bushes for seven or eight meters before they saw a scene in front of them several meters away. Then, both of them stiffened, an eerie feeling rising up in their hearts.

  On the ground several meters away from the thicket, a group of goblins wearing leather armor were scattered all over the place, and the sound of something crashing to the ground just now was made by them.

  What made Su Yu and Ma Zi Ye feel eerie, even hair-raising, was that there were no visible wounds on the bodies of these goblins, yet they had fallen to the ground motionless, their breathing gone, all dead. Moreover, on their ugly faces with deep wrinkles, smiles were stretched out, carrying a kind of strange happiness and satisfaction.

  Watching a group of unharmed earth spirits, with stiff happy smiles, die here, Su Yu and Ma Zi Ye exchanged a glance, both feeling extremely eerie.

  "Everyone come quickly." Su Yu hesitated slightly, issued a voice, and Qin Jia Gui et al., who had stopped in their tracks, immediately rushed over through the thicket.

  Ma Ziyue walked up to the group of goblin corpses, just about to kick one with her foot, when Su Yu hastily said: "Don't touch them, these goblins died too strangely, it's better not to touch them."

  Ma Ziyue glanced at Su Yu and withdrew her foot.

  Qin Jiagui and others also saw the corpses of these earth spirits at this moment, and everyone felt the same way as Su Yu when they first saw them, feeling extremely eerie.

  It's not surprising to see the corpse of a goblin, but it's strange that it has such an eerie smile on its face, and just now it was still alive, walking tens of meters away from the crowd before suddenly falling to the ground one after another, which made everyone feel strange.

  "What does this mean? One by one, they died with a smile?" Zhang Zhongmou had an expression of utter bewilderment.

  Qin Jiagui was more cautious and said thoughtfully, "Everyone must not touch the corpses of these earth spirits. I think they may have been poisoned. You all should have heard that there are some poisons that can make a person smile strangely when they die."

  When Qin Jiagui said this, the crowd was stunned for a moment, and then they all tensed up again. If the earth spirit really was poisoned, this poison was more terrifying than monsters, and it was impossible to guard against.

  Zhao Shichang said: "But if they really died from poisoning, what kind of poison was it? And where is it? What kind of poisonous substances are there around here? Is it poisonous insects, snakes or poisonous gas?"

  "Spare no thought for how these earth spirits died. We'll retreat immediately, circle around and get as far away from here as possible."

  Everyone nodded to each other, and then didn't dare think more, immediately retreated from the thicket again, and hurried in the opposite direction, hoping to get as far away from this group of goblin corpses as possible.

  The more unclear things are, the more frightening they become. This group of goblins who died in such a bizarre manner has instilled an unknown fear in everyone's hearts.

  Everyone quickened their pace, and Zhao Shichang's bone knife continued to slash, cutting branches and clearing obstacles in front of him. It could be said that Zhao Shichang's bone knife was the most convenient and sharp tool among all people.

  One by one, the branches were cut down by Zhao Shichang, and soon everyone rushed through the dense forest for over a hundred meters, far away from those corpse-like ghouls.

  "Ah——" Suddenly, Zhao Shichang cried out in a loud voice and stopped dead in his tracks.

  Right behind him, Lei Ru was distracted for a moment and bumped into his back, letting out a soft cry. Then she stretched her head and saw two corpses of strange creatures with their entire bodies greenish-blue lying not far in front of Zhao Shichang.

  "Big Brother Lin Bu beast......" Zhao Shichang sucked in a breath of cold air.

  Su Yu hastened her pace and walked up to see that the two corpses lying on the ground were those of the two big brothers Lin Bu. There was not a single wound on their bodies, but their faces wore that strange and sinister smile, their facial muscles stiffened in a frozen grin, their eyes wide open as if they had seen the most beautiful sight in their lives just before they died. However, this expression looked utterly terrifying and eerie to Su Yu and the others.

  "Go the other way." Su Yu immediately took a step back and pointed in the opposite direction.

  "Go." Qin Jiagui didn't have time to think much anymore, as a group of earth elementals and two corpses of giant Linbu beasts suddenly appeared. Everyone's hearts were filled with an inexplicable sense of fear, and they changed direction again, speeding up their flight.

  "Hurry up and leave this place." Qin Jiagui's heart was racing as he constantly urged everyone to speed up.

  Su Yu remained silent, his face stern, with an unusual power surging within his left arm, every muscle in his body tensed up. As soon as he sensed anything off, "Rending Storm" would burst out with a force akin to thunder, annihilating all danger.

  "Ah, this is——"

  Soon, Zhao Shichang and Li Dong in front of them were shocked again, because this time, they saw the corpse with a smile on his face again. Five ghouls, one big brother Lin Bu beast, plus a human corpse.

  This time, everyone stopped and took a closer look at the human corpse. It was a man in his early twenties, with tattered clothes and yellow skin, seemingly having gone hungry for many days. He lay on the ground, without any wounds on his body, but with an eerie smile of satisfaction and happiness on his face.

  Whether it's humans or other monsters, everyone dies in the same way.

  "Leave." Qin Jiagui glanced around a few times, then growled in a low voice. Everyone had an ominous premonition and no one said anything else. No one had the energy to speculate about the identity of this young man in his twenties, or how he ended up dead here. Now, everyone's top priority was to get away from this place, which was just too eerie.

  But what happened next made everyone more and more afraid, more and more terrified.

  No matter which direction they choose, no matter where they run, they will inevitably encounter corpses with eerie smiles along the way. These corpses include goblins, powerful goblin knights, and giant limb beasts, among which there are also human corpses. These humans, men and women, old and young, ugly and handsome, all have one characteristic in common: a stiff and eerie smile on their faces as they died.

  Suddenly, Su Yu stopped.

  "What's wrong?" Qin Jiagui asked somewhat breathlessly.

  "Since we can't escape, there's no need to run anymore. Every direction is the same. Qin Jia Gui, let's choose our own path northward. Whether it's good fortune or bad, misfortune can't be avoided." Su Yu said as she strode towards the northern direction with large steps, her left hand occasionally revealing and concealing black scales that seemed quite mysterious.

  Zhang Zhongmou absolutely trusted Su Yu and followed him without saying a word.

  Qin Jiagui hesitated for only a second before waving his hand: "Everyone follow me, corpses are appearing everywhere, in that case, let's stick to the original plan and head north."
