A Life-Buying Message

Listening to Ling Wuyuan's words,

then looking at the hand slowly withdrawing from directly in front of his face, a mere few centimeters away from touching it completely,

although he did not know what exactly would have happened if that hand had successfully touched him,

at this moment,

Hua Lishu realized one thing with absolute clarity.

The speed at which he had spoken

had successfully spared him from disaster—

At this moment,

he caught the scent of blood.

An extremely fresh scent of blood, extremely close by.

From that bloody smell and the various sounds that followed,

he could fully judge that his colleagues around him had already suffered devastating casualties—or had simply been wiped out entirely.

And the actual result was indeed so.

When he turned his gaze over,

all he saw were corpses whose faces were still frozen in shock, along with a few lucky survivors who were equally stunned by the situation, their faces filled with disbelief.

When he looked toward those Subterranean Beasts and demonic beasts, however, the situation was somewhat different.

There were no lucky survivors.

There were only corpses.

Corpses that had died with eyes wide open.

Whether they were those Subterranean Beasts

or the demonic beasts that dwelled within the Demon Luo Tree Sea, it was all the same.

In fact,

at this very moment,

Hua Lishu could still see the muscle tissue in some corpses twitching. That was an instinctive muscular movement—

Clearly,

because they had died too quickly,

the dead bodies' tissues had not even had time to react.

As though those people were still alive.

As for the fatal wounds on these corpses?

If he had not seen wrongly,

they were all at the various acupoints on their foreheads.

A strike straight at the core, killing in a single blow!!
