Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 744

Chapter 744: Chapter 179: Oh No! We’ve Been Discovered (Third Update)

"What are they looking for?" Xi Qianxue leaned close to Mu Qingge and cautiously asked.

Mu Qingge slowly shook her head, "Wei Molili said they’re collecting the remnants of souls from the Ancient Battlefield, and some other unknown things. We’ve previously discovered a number of missing corpses, not sure if it’s related to them."

Ji Yaohua added, "The corpses here are already petrified, what can they find?"

Suddenly, a short green-skinned creature seemed to discover something and shouted excitedly.

His shout instantly made the four’s nerves tense up.

Fortunately, this time he wasn’t attacking, just gesturing and speaking to the tall green-skinned creature.

"We can’t understand what they’re saying." Ying Ze frowned.

Ji Yaohua murmured, "I also wonder what interface these creatures come from?"

"Three Thousand Worlds, Billions of Mortal Realms, there are so many things we don’t know." Mu Qingge sighed. Her former home, the Mortal World called Earth, now she doesn’t know how far it is from her, nor in which position within these Billions of Mortal Realms. And Jiang Li... after falling from the Cold Inch, where did she end up?

For the past two years, Si Mo has continuously sent people to look for her. The only certainty is that Jiang Li is no longer drifting in the void black hole. So, there’s only one possibility left; she went through unknown experiences and fell into some world. Perhaps, just like her.

"What are you thinking?" Xi Qianxue’s voice pulled Mu Qingge back from her thoughts.

She restrained her thoughts, slowly shook her head at Xi Qianxue.

"Look, what is that little creature holding?" Ji Yaohua suddenly alerted the others.

Mu Qingge narrowed her eyes, fixed her gaze. Her eyes fell on the thing in the little creature’s hands who was showing off to the tall creature, suddenly, her eyes shrank, using a very low voice, she transmitted to the other three, "It’s a heart!"

"What!" Ji Yaohua nearly cried out in surprise.

Luckily, he reacted quickly, covered his mouth, and switched to transmitting sound.

"A heart?" Ying Ze also looked at Mu Qingge with a grim expression.

Xi Qianxue’s face changed slightly, and said to Mu Qingge, "Why are they digging the hearts out of these corpses?"

Mu Qingge slowly shook her head, continuing to stare intently at those small creatures.

Ji Yaohua looked around at the piles of petrified corpses in surprise, "Unbelievable, tens of thousands of years have passed, these corpses are petrified, yet the hearts are still bloody."

Mu Qingge pressed her lips, her eyes fixed ahead.

She saw the tall creature take the heart from the little creature’s hands, and then threw it into the bag on its back. Then, he directed the little creatures to continue digging at the corpses.

A dozen little creatures surrounded the two big ones. All the little creatures kept digging into the petrified corpses.

Their claws were sharp, able to easily break through the petrified skin, then dug out the hearts.

’Collecting remnants of souls... collecting hearts... might even collect the corpses... what do these creatures intend to do?’ Mu Qingge frowned slightly, she sensed that things might not be as simple as they appeared.

And moreover, she had an indescribable feeling that these green-skinned creatures were likely the lowest existence in their interface, not here for training, but enslaved for labor. Their task was to collect these things.

"It seems like they have a hierarchy, the tall creatures seem to be the commanders, directing the little creatures to work." Xi Qianxue looked at Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge nodded.

She had noticed this as well.

From Ji Yaohua’s previous probing, going out to scout were the little creatures, and the current situation, all proved this point.

"Then should we capture the big ones or the small ones?" Ji Yaohua rubbed his hands and asked.

This question made Mu Qingge frown.

After a moment, she said, "Keep observing."

The four quietly followed, just like what Wei Molili had done before.

The green-skinned creatures, after digging for a while, held out some hearts again, let the two big creatures put them into the bags on their backs, then continued forward.

"Those two bags seem to be like Sumeru Containers, otherwise they couldn’t have stored so much along the way without any change." Ji Yaohua said something that everyone had already seen.

Naturally, no one paid him any attention.

He innocently pursed his lips, decided to be a silent handsome man.

The four silently followed, if they needed to communicate, they simply transmitted sound. Meanwhile, the green-skinned creatures kept searching, ignoring everything else but the hearts inside petrified corpses.

Mu Qingge felt puzzled throughout the journey, generally speaking, since the corpses had petrified surfaces, the organs inside should have petrified together too.

Why had the corpses of these Gods and Demons only petrified on the surface, while the inside seemed freshly deceased?

This answer, despite her bitter contemplation, she could only conclude — the bodies of Gods and Demons aren’t comparable to normal people!

All the way following, the four hadn’t found a good opportunity to act.

Mainly because these dozens of creatures have always acted together, the little ones always surrounded the big one, with the little ones doing the work.

They hardly ate or drank, resting together when tired, then continued working after resting.

A single little creature’s scream was enough to hinder them; if a dozen little creatures attacked together with the big one, they wouldn’t have a chance to act!

"Damn it! Waiting for them to be alone is too difficult! These guys stick together all day, don’t they get tired?" Ji Yaohua couldn’t help but complain.

Their original plan was to follow the green-skinned creatures and immediately strike if a lone creature appeared, then quickly retreat.

But now...

Clearly, after days of tracking, this plan had no chance of being executed.

"Now it’s a test of patience." Mu Qingge’s voice was slightly heavy.

This endless tracking was certainly wearing. If she hadn’t had similar experiences in her past life, she might have lost her temper.

The four quietly waited; their tracking over these days wasn’t without gain.

At the very least, after continuous attempts, they now clearly knew how much distance to keep from the creatures to ensure absolute safety.

When the creatures rested, they cultivated on the spot.

When the creatures left, they left together too. This was like waiting for something to happen, a game testing both patience and determination. So, they couldn’t rush.

...

Xi Qianxue ended her cultivation, opened her eyes, and saw Mu Qingge leaning to the side, holding the Golden Palace Bell she always wore at her waist.

The Palace Bell was very beautiful and exquisite, uniquely shaped with hollow patterns.
