It snowed heavily all night last night.
The girl's body was buried deep under the snow.
Qin Ze flicked a wisp of blue flame towards the ground with his index finger.
The tiny flame instantly released a tremendous amount of heat.
The snow within ten meters melted instantly, quickly revealing the body.
Just as Wang Biao said last night.
The girl had no fatal injuries, but the right side of her head was deeply sunken.
Only the inside collapsed; there were no external injuries.
Slacking on the Sidelines sighed, then prepared to put the corpse into his storage space.
"Wait a minute."
Qin Ze stepped forward and squatted down next to the corpse.
He extended his right index finger and easily poked it into the corpse's head from above.
Wang Biao and the others were stunned, not understanding what was going on.
Qin Ze gently stirred his fingers inside his head, and when he withdrew them, they were covered with a red and white gelatinous substance.
"She's still mentally sharp."
"The collapse was caused by the melting of the right half of the skull."
"Of course, her brain melted away too."
Qin Ze stood up, blue flames flickering at his fingertips, burning away all the filth.
"I didn't expect you to have the potential to be a coroner," said Slacking on the Sidelines in surprise.
Wang Biao frowned slightly. "You previously suspected it was the work of the Ghost Type?"
Qin Ze shrugged. "It doesn't seem that way now."
He scooped up the body by paddling Slacking on the Sidelines, and seeing Wang Biao's solemn expression, he patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, your men are all martial artists, nothing will happen to them."
Wang Biao's eyes were dim; this was the only reason he could use to comfort himself.
Composing himself, Wang Biao continued leading the way.
The group passed through the entrance and entered the Ring Mountains.
The Ring Mountains is very large, with more than twenty entrances alone.
Last night, more than two hundred clones entered the mountain from different entrances, like rice thrown into a lake, scattered very far apart.
After an entire night, only one-tenth of the exploration has been completed.
They encountered no living people, saw no corpses, and saw no trace of living things.
The entire area Ring Mountains is a barren wasteland.
Even though there was no real danger, several clones were still destroyed last night.
Two guys insisted on going into the Domain of Extreme Cold to see how cold it was inside, and ended up freezing into ice sculptures.
Some of the clones happened to encounter a small hot spring lake on the outskirts, and when they went down to bathe, they were boiled alive.
His clone, who was with him, insisted on pulling the other out to taste him, but ended up slipping on the shore and falling in as well.
Such a skill can only be performed by someone with a clone.
After entering the Ring Mountains, the blizzard disappeared.
The interconnected mountains act as a barrier, keeping out the wind and snow.
However, the temperature inside the Ring Mountains is at least ten degrees lower than outside.
Lu Tongtong was red from the cold.
Qin Ze Blue Flame Release, transforming into a human-shaped heater.
The Little Deer's eyes lit up, and she moved closer to him.
Wang Biao said, "Yesterday I walked on the right, today we'll walk on the left."
Qin Ze and the others had no objections and followed behind Wang Biao.
Slacking on the Sidelines, he asked, "Can you still feel that inexplicable calling now?"
Wang Biao nodded. "Yes, and it's getting stronger."
Qin Ze remained unmoved.
The stronger Wang Biao's feelings were, the closer the opening of the Otherworld was to come.
At this moment, Thousand Faces sent a message via the Local Area Network.
"I looked through the recent files of the Inspection Team and came across something rather interesting."
Thousand Faces did not follow them into the mountains.
Instead, he went to the Inspection Team early in the morning.
He wanted to start by checking the Inspection Team's archives to see if there was any information about the Ring Mountains.
Qin Ze: "Speak."
At this moment, Thousand Faces was sitting in a captain's office, with his feet propped up on the desk.
"The number of missing persons in Snow City began to surge three days ago."
"In just three short days, the case files alone recorded 321 people."
"These missing people have nothing in common; they include men and women, the old and the young."
" The Inspection Team has already begun its investigation, but there hasn't been any progress so far."
After hearing Thousand Faces's report, Qin Ze was greatly shocked; so many people had already gone missing.
Are all these people around the Ring Mountains?
Or is there another hidden story?
Thousand Faces later added, "There are no relevant files Ring Mountains."
"A godforsaken place; no normal person would go to such a godforsaken place."
"I'll continue to keep an eye out for relevant information while I'm in the Inspection Team, and I'll let you know as soon as there's anything."
Although not on the front lines, the Son of the Version is still putting up a strong fight.
" The Ring Mountains is too large. I suggest we split up and search separately," said Slacking on the Sidelines suddenly.
Qin Ze had no objection. "Okay, Tongtong will be on my team."
This girl is too weak; she's practically helpless when in danger.
Slacking on the Sidelines nodded. "No problem, we'll each fight our own battles."
"If there are any new discoveries, contact us using the communication card."
Qin Ze took out a black card from his storage space. " Brother Biao's add each other as friends."
After exchanging contact information, the group began to choose a direction to explore.
Passerby A to speak, "I'll go back; there's a fork in the road behind that Brother Biao hasn't been to before."
Hearing the sound, Wang Biao looked over and exclaimed in surprise, "So you came too!"
Passerby A sighed silently; he was already used to it.
Qin Ze said, " Tongtong and I are heading towards the central lake."
Slacking on the Sidelines, "Then Brother Biao and I will continue exploring ahead. There are two paths not far ahead, we'll take one to the left and one to the right."
Wang Biao clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I entrust this to you all."
The group parted ways, and Qin Ze led Lu Tongtong toward the central lake.
Not far away, on the mountainside, Fairy, Aries, Capricorn, and Ma Yan stood watching Qin Ze and his group from afar.
They were all dressed in white, Fusion perfectly into the surrounding scenery.
Capricorn gritted his teeth. "What a small world! I never expected to run into them here again!"
He still looked very old, but his complexion was much better than before.
Give me half an hour, I'll be right back.
Having said that, Capricorn prepared to descend the mountain.
Suddenly, green vines sprouted from the icy ground beneath his feet and tightly wrapped around his ankles.
"Don't let your personal matters ruin the chairman's plans." The Fairy's voice was colder than the temperature Ring Mountains.
Capricorn gritted his teeth, watching Qin Ze and his group disappear into the mountains with resentment.
The Aries behind him yawned. "Speaking of which, didn't we just collaborate with the Chamber of Commerce not long ago?"
The Fairy said calmly, "The past is the past, the present is the present. Do your job well."
Aries shrugged and said nothing more.
The Fairy watched Qin Ze and Lu Tongtong's retreating figures before turning her gaze away.
"It's almost time."
"Walk."
Lotus flowers bloomed beneath the Fairy's feet, and she walked towards the central lake, stepping on the lotus flowers.
The three Aries followed closely behind.
Are you cold?
Qin Ze asked Lu Tongtong, who was standing beside him.
The Little Deer answered softly, "It's alright, not too cold."
Qin Ze then released another wisp of blue flame, which enveloped the Little Deer in intense heat.
Lu Tongtong blinked and leaned closer to Qin Ze.
So heartwarming!
Qin Ze released his spiritual power and carefully searched his surroundings.
Bang--
After crossing a mountain, Qin Ze suddenly kicked something.
He looked down and saw it was a leg.
(Thanks to "Steel Coin Battery" for the great health care, may the boss be rich and prosperous!)
