Chu Xiu’s words compelled everyone to once again look at that corpse.
They quickly discovered that the lower half of the corpse had not disappeared but had rged into that eerie black substance, much like how the person who attacked Chu Xiu could rge into shadows!
Chu Xiu also wore a sowhat heavy expression. During his first transaction, soone had been lurking around him. That person had a strange thod of rging into shadows. If not for carelessly being detected by Chu Xiu’s Divine Sense during his approach, Chu Xiu would never have discovered him.
Moreover, after being exposed, the person could still retreat comfortably under Chu Xiu’s attack. Although, at that ti, Chu Xiu was rely relying on the brute force of the Frenzied Celestial Demon Hand, it certainly showed that person’s strength.
The initial conclusion among everyone was that this person was from the Extre Dao.
However, why was the Extre Dao here? And who killed him?
The atmosphere beca sowhat heavy, but Su Jinyu and Guan Ke, who didn’t understand the specifics, were still fine. However, Zhang Qingshan, who had seen the Extre Dao’s shadow rging Ability, looked rather grim.
That kind of Ability was very special, making it extrely difficult to kill, not to ntion the person had General Tier strength.
"The cause of death seems to be a penetrating wound at the back of the head. Soone pierced his back head with a sharp object and in a very short ti turned his brain into a pulp."
"The assailant was clearly very familiar with him, delivering a fatal blow with an injury even an Awakened couldn’t endure."
"The blood of an Awakened is usually more active. If this person’s blood is similar to that of an ordinary Awakened, judging from the coagulation, the ti of death should be between one to two hours ago."
"At that ti... we hadn’t even co down to explore."
"This ans soone is operating outside the current system of action, and their strength is above General Tier!"
Su Jinyu analyzed carefully.
This discovery made everyone’s expression even heavier.
At the sa ti, Zhang Qingshan and Guan Ke looked at Su Jinyu with an odd expression.
"The coagulation ti of an Awakened’s blood... How do you know about this?"
"Our research institute has specialized projects studying the bodies of Awakened from different professions to explore their differences from ordinary humans."
"However, such research has significantly diminished now, and is mostly superficial. Most current research data cos from thirty years ago during the Dark Age. During that ti, there were at least three docunted dissected and long-term imprisoned King Tier Awakened, sothing impossible to replicate under current conditions." Su Jinyu showed a trace of regret.
Her words made Zhang Qingshan and Guan Ke glance at each other, seemingly not expecting such research existed.
As for Chu Xiu, he wasn’t bothered by such minor issues, as Su Jinyu had copied imnse knowledge into her brain, nothing too surprising.
His current concern was what the sudden appearance of the Extre Dao implied and what kind of variables it would bring to his actions.
"The Extre Dao is backed by Outer Realm Demons. If this person is indeed from the Extre Dao, does it an the Outer Realm Demons have also intervened in this matter?"
If so, it would beco rather complex. Many issues needed consideration. What was the relationship between the Extre Dao and the Calamity? Were they similar to the Awakened, aiming to slay Calamity, or were they collaborators or so other relation?
Chu Xiu recalled that during a previous world mission, he had obtained information from an Extre Dao mber. At that ti, the core objective of the Extre Dao was to seize the Anchor Point to send more powerful Extre Dao mbers in to fight over so mysterious artifact.
Could this underground Calamity be related to the item the Extre Dao desired?
"Captain, what should we do now?" Zhang Qingshan’s voice rang in his ear.
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes: "Imdiately report the situation, and as for us..."
"Continue forward."
Chu Xiu’s words imdiately changed Zhang Qingshan and Guan Ke’s expressions. Zhang Qingshan bluntly said, "Captain, facing unexpected changes now, I think we should et up with Senior Qin first."
Chu Xiu said, "This mission indeed has risks. You and Su Jinyu may withdraw first; Guan Ke and I will continue deeper."
Chu Xiu didn’t require much of their combat strength, but he still needed Guan Ke’s reconnaissance skills.
Just as these words fell, Su Jinyu quickly interjected: "I’ll go down with you. My Rune Array will definitely co in handy."
Her response was swift, clearly afraid that leaving midway would lead to Chu Xiu not giving her the Resurrection Wine.
Zhang Qingshan, after frowning for a mont, also said, "Reporting the situation can be done through the communication artifact. We are a team, even if I don’t agree with your decision, Captain, there’s no reason to split up on the spot during a mission."
Listening from the side, Guan Ke felt numb inside—what was wrong with these two? What are they waiting for if not to leave? Why am I the one with no choice?
But as Chu Xiu still needed her reconnaissance ability, naturally he wouldn’t let her leave.
"In that case, let’s set off now." Chu Xiu didn’t say much more.
Guan Ke sighed, resigning herself to summoning a flock of spirit sparrows, sending them towards the depths of the path ahead.
In her heart, she silently cursed, thinking that the Dark Night Monarch was supposed to be a talented and cunning candidate, whose rise to power was like a rocket. Who knew he was just an obsessed, reckless gambler.
Seeing a General Tier corpse, especially one adept at hiding, lying dead before him, he showed no fear and insisted on venturing in.
Even a King Tier Awakened wouldn’t be so reckless, right?
This wasn’t just risky; it was courting death! Even if he survives this ti, sooner or later he’d et his end!
