The leader smiled as he licked his lips. “Run? Can you even run?”
He had finally arrived!
And he finally caught sight of some humans.
Even better, they were a bunch of warriors.
The other nine figures swallowed hungrily, even though their mouths were dry.
They were finally here. How could they let these cultivators go just like that?
They were so hungry!
And excited!
They were deprived of blood essence, power, and guidance.
The ten figures stared menacingly at the fifty people.
The fifty men were shocked!
Immediately, they turned and fled.
After having fled Zhongzhou for many years, these fifty people were not fools.
Whoosh!
The ten figures rushed over.
“Help!” The old man yelled loudly.
As soon as he shouted, he felt something attach itself on his body.
No matter how hard he shook, he couldn’t get rid of it.
Hiss!
Suddenly, he felt pain on his neck as his cultivation seeped out of his body.
Turning his head back, he saw one of the shadows lying on the neck of the Second Master of the village, using his mouth to suck his blood.
The four claws latched onto the Second Master fiercely.
This was a monster!
A monster that was more cruel than a demon.
“Help!” The more he yelled, the faster his body’s cultivation and blood essence seeped out.
In an instant, there were fifty corpses left in the desert.
The ten figures looked very satisfied.
“It’s still not enough!”
“I don’t mind having another five hundred!”
…
“Stop shouting. We killed all fifty of them. Who will guide us now?”
“Leader, there is prenatal qi here, we will definitely meet more warriors. It will not be difficult to get another guide,” said one of the deputy leaders.
“Actually, you’re right. Since there are people here, there will definitely be more delicious humans around,” the leader said with bright eyes.
Their previous exhaustion disappeared and became replaced with excitement.
Soon, they reached a city on the edge of the desert and stared at the tens of thousands of people in the city eagerly.
“It was worth coming here! There is so much delicious meat.”
“Leader, let us eat and drink till we’re full and ready to take revenge!”
“If we eat and drink enough, it’ll be considered as a form of revenge. Anyway, there isn’t a single person in this part of the world who is innocent. We can always get back to business after eating.” The leader squinted his eyes and said.
“Great! How tasty!”
The dozen people forgot all about their previous complaints and looked forward to their meal.
Gurgle! Gurgle!
Their stomachs rumbled involuntarily.
“Remember to leave a few of them as guides this time.” The leader said as they rushed toward the town.
Whoosh!
Thousands of miles away, in a sandpit…
The smell of blood rushed up to Li Mu’s nose.
“Why is there such a smell in the desert?”
Even though the smell was very faint, it was strange to have such a smell in the desert.
Li Mu headed to the sand pit.
Searching through the sand, he found several piles of human bones.
After looking through them, he found that only their clothes were left.
“What creature can eat through human flesh so cleanly?”
Judging from the bones, it was obvious that the creatures that ate them were cultivators.
His hair stood up on its ends.
“Is there something lurking around in this desert that I don’t know about?”
Li Mu asked hesitantly as he stared at the desert in the distance.
He would go back and ask Xu Xiao about this first.
After half a day, Li Mu stopped at a small town.
There were corpses all over the floor.
Each corpse had a row of strange teeth marks on their necks.
“A blood bat?”
Li Mu walked forward to take a closer look.
The tooth marks on the neck of each corpse were similar to those from a bite by a blood bat.
“Their blood was drained in a such short period of time. But why are there blood bats in the desert?” Li Mu frowned.
These were warriors from a city with a population of tens of thousands of people.
The blood bats must be very powerful.
Each of the warriors suffered much pain before they died.
Their faces were still full with fear.
Because their blood had been drained from their bodies, their original ugly faces were now even uglier.
The wind blew again.
Li Mu frowned.
Whoosh!
He headed in the direction of the stench.
In a mountain village at the edge of the desert, there were thousands of corpses.
Li Mu squatted beside a corpse. Reaching out his hand to touch the corpse, he found that there was still a trace of residual warmth in the body.
“He died not along ago!”
Li Mu looked up and ran towards the direction of the stench.
At another city dozens of miles away from this village…
The city was in chaos.
Ten black shadows raced across the city.
Whenever a shadow passed by a human, another corpse was left behind.
“Leader, we have struck a jackpot.”
“Haha! Not only that! It won’t be long before we become masters of the True Realm thanks to these humans. Then, when we go back…” The leader laughed.
He had asked a few warriors and found out that there were several Virtual Realm masters in this part of the world.
Especially in the East Continent and Zhongzhou.
They never thought that there would be so much food for them here.
And these warriors were all so weak.
This was perfect for them. On one hand, their cultivation level was enough to nourish them. On the other hand, they weren’t strong enough to fight back.
After absorbing all the people in this part of the world, his cultivation level would improve drastically.
The old Master would be no match for him!
“Leader, you are about become our new Master.” One of the deputy leaders saw the leader’s ambition and quickly flattered him.
“Haha! Good!”
Everyone suddenly became very ambitious as well.
If they stayed here for a hundred years, they would also gain similar power to the old Master.
They might also become a Master.
The more they thought about this, the more excited the ten people became.
Everyone moved faster, fearing that others may overtake them.
Whoosh!
Just then, a blue shadow appeared on the street.
One of the black shadows who had just finished absorbing a human looked back and rushed towards the blue shadow.
Someone was nearby!
All the more food for him.
But when he reached out and grabbed it, he ended up empty-handed.
Before he could react, he felt his body go numb. His eyes dimmed as he fell to the ground.
After killing the black bat, Li Mu covered his nose and left.
“How disgusting!”
He wanted to study this creature, but Li Mu couldn’t stand the smell of blood.
The thing he killed had turned into a puddle of snow and there were not many bones left.
“Is this a kind of demon? The head especially looks like one!”
The shape of the head reminded Li Mu of the head of the demon in the vitality pit. But because it was dried up, he couldn’t see the ears and face clearly.
This was completely different from the old man from the Qianyuan Sacred Ground.
At least the old man had the shape of a human.
This thing had claws and teeth that were completely different from humans.
Whoosh!
Li Mu stopped another and chopped it up, then turned and left.
Soon, stench filled the city.
There were screams everywhere.
The louder the screams, the more excited the remaining black figures were.
Whoosh!
A dark shadow appeared on the street and sniffed.
Raising his foot, he found that his feet was covered with black blood.
His expression changed.
Looking behind him, he saw a puddle of black blood on the ground.
This blood seemed to be from the corpses of his companions.
But he could not tell whether this corpse had anything to do with his companions.
“Boss, something is wrong!” The figure hurriedly ran to the black bat with hairy ears.
“What’s the matter?”
“We may have been ambushed.”
Whoosh!
The leader froze, staring at the black shadow in front of him.
Then, his nose twitched.
He raised his head to the sky and howled.
