Shen Yue heard him but didn’t respond.
Instead, she walked straight to where she remembered the pool of blood had been during the day, squatting down to examine the ground.
The ground was spotless, as if it had been washed clean by a downpour.
Shen Yue’s gaze darkened.
Bai Chaosi had been right.
The pool of blood had clearly been cleaned up, leaving not even a single trace behind.
’These people sure are fast.’
’It seems there’s a huge problem with this pool of blood. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been in such a hurry to dispose of it!’
Seeing how intently she was examining the ground, Bai Chaosi assumed she was simply refusing to give up.
"There’s no point in looking. They cleaned it spotless, without leaving a single trace of blood!"
Huang Ziyue heard him, but he ignored Bai Chaosi completely.
He simply stood quietly behind Shen Yue, confident that she would have a solution.
In his heart, he believed nothing was too difficult for her as long as she set her mind to it.
Sure enough, just as Bai Chaosi’s words fell...
A flashlight suddenly appeared in Shen Yue’s hand, casting a bright beam directly onto the ground.
At the same time, two small bottles of liquid also appeared in her hands.
Bai Chaosi and Huang Ziyue were both astonished, not understanding how the two items had appeared in the blink of an eye.
But neither of them spoke, watching quietly so as not to disturb her.
Both of them had a tacit understanding that Shen Yue possessed extraordinary abilities and was shrouded in a great mystery. Or rather, she herself was the mystery.
She was like something from beyond the heavens, always bringing them surprises and things they couldn’t comprehend.
But that didn’t change their love for her, or their desire to protect her.
Bai Chaosi had previously seen Shen Yue use a flashlight in the underground Mist Cave, back in the fissure on Wilderness Mountain.
But seeing it again now still sent a thrill through him.
It reminded him of their time in the Mist Cave, when they had faced life and death together, fought off the Lizardmen, and passed through the Gate of Life and Death.
The feeling was so vivid, as if it had only happened yesterday, a memory he cherished deeply.
Bai Chaosi was lost in thought.
Meanwhile, Shen Yue had already spotted some grains of sand remaining in the cracks of the earth.
She uncapped the bottles of phenolphthalein reagent and solvent, and let a few drops fall onto the sand and the residual dust on the ground.
Then, she switched off the flashlight.
The moonlight cast a soft glow on the ground, neither bright nor dim. But to the naked eye, the area where the liquid had been dripped slowly began to turn a faint pink.
At the same time, a faint scent of blood rose from the pink-tinged sand and dust.
Huang Ziyue had been watching Shen Yue’s every move intently. When he saw this, his eyes flashed, and his heart gave an uncontrollable leap.
’The blood has appeared!’
’He knew Shen Yue would have a way.’
Bai Chaosi, who had been lost in his memories, was snapped back to the present by the scent of blood. He looked down to see the ground slowly turning pink.
His expression froze, and a soft, amazed light shone from his narrow eyes.
The way he looked at Shen Yue was filled with utter awe.
’How did she do that?’
’The ground had been washed so clean that even his spiritual power couldn’t detect a trace of blood, yet Shen Yue had revealed it just like that?’
’It would be a lie to say he wasn’t shocked. This was simply incredible!’
As the bloodstains appeared, Shen Yue used a handkerchief to carefully collect the tainted grains of sand.
She had secured the blood sample.
For masters like Huang Ziyue, even this tiny trace of blood was more than enough.
Identifying someone from the aura of their blood was a simple matter.
Shen Yue carefully put the handkerchief away and stood up.
