Human?
Hearing Chen Changan's words, everyone hurriedly looked toward the corpses. But no matter how they looked, none of them thought it seemed like humans had done it.
Because the state of these corpses was exactly the same as that of the victims killed by those ghostly things.
"Elder Chen, I think there must be a lot of those ghostly things around here."
