A man, like a spider, was guarding the center of the giant spider web. But this was a dead man. The ground was in a mess. The soil and broken jars were scattered all over the ground. No matter how one looked at it, it looked weird. It was very discordant, abrupt, and a little absurd.
But Caspian didn’t laugh…
There was no extra expression on his face. The reason was very simple. The news leaked by the corpse joint bamboo told him that someone had died here. And many people died. The Rancorous Qi even seeped into the stone. Caspian even suspected that the cultivators of the families that disappeared very likely died here. The bound body was a little far away. Caspian decided to get closer and see if there was any new discovery.
He took a step forward. The moment he stepped on the mud in front of him, Caspian felt that something was wrong.
The ground was too soft. Moreover, there were some elasticity. To put it in words, it was like stepping on a large pool of sticky snot.
He lowered his head and narrowed his eyes.
Cracks appeared on the muddy ground beneath his feet. It was dark red. A strong smell of blood gushed out at the same time.
“Blood…” Caspian murmured.
He looked up, then he had a vague feeling. The so-called mud ground was just a floating dust on the top. Beneath the dust was a sea of blood.
Taking a deep breath, Caspian stomped down and suddenly stopped in the air. In an instant, the blast wave formed by the huge force shattered the soil under Caspian’s feet and spread out in all directions. There was no sound, but the mud ground kept cracking and rising and falling like waves. Deep red seeped out from the crack. The smell of blood, which was so thick that it could not be dissolved, instantly made Caspian feel as if he had been soaked in a sea of blood. His breath was full of the smell of blood.
“It’s all blood!” Caspian was certain.
In this cave, the ground was probably dug into a deep pond. The pond was filled with blood. The blood was too thick, so even if it was covered with a thick layer of soil and broken jars, the soil and jars would not sink.
“It’s fierce enough… Of course, the blood couldn’t have been injected here a long time ago. Otherwise, it would have dried up. Judging from the situation, it should only be recently. Everything has proved my speculation one by one…“
Caspian looked up at the bodies in the distance.
“Now, let’s see who the corpse is… The Great Leisure Court!”
He took a step forward. A long shadow appeared in the void. He moved as fast as lightning and arrived in front of the corpse in an instant. He used the Void Spiritual Steps again. Instantly, his feet hovered above the soil, about the height of two fists. In this way, even if there was blood under his feet, he would not be affected and would not fall. This magic, which was regarded as useless by others, made it convenient for him this time.
Caspian was standing in the air, looking at the corpse carefully. Judging from the situation of the corpse, it should have been years since he died. His clothes were covered with a thick layer of dust. However, what puzzled Caspian was that the dead man was not only a cultivator, but also commit suicide!
Caspian didn’t notice it because the hands of the corpse were folded in front of his chest and stooped. Now that he was getting closer, he could see that the corpse was holding a small sword in both hands. And the small sword, which still looked extremely sharp so far, pierced through the heart of the corpse. He had to admire the other party’s courage to commit suicide. But at the same time, the behavior of the corpse also raised a huge doubt in his heart.
Cultivators of Heavenly Spirit Realm were said to be able to heal themselves even if they were dismembered by five horses. As for whether the corpse was a Pulse Control Realm or not, Caspian did not even think of it.
Caspian tried to grab the wrist of the corpse, trying to pull it out a little. However, he didn‘t expect that he could crush the body’s wrist before he used any strength.
With a click, he was also stunned. The corpse was like a dead tree that had been exposed to the wind and sun for an unknown period of time. However, his broken wrist had helped Caspian a lot. Half of the small sword pierced into the body’s heart. The remaining half, including the hilt, was exposed.
Caspian looked at the little sword. The surface of the small sword was engraved with lines. These lines were complicated and seemed to contain some mysterious power.
