Rebirth in Another World: My Brother is an Intelligent Being

Chapter 236 Picking Up Corpses

Regardless of the era, enclosing land and demarcating territory is the most exciting thing. If successful, they would be considered to have made a great contribution to the organization and be able to upgrade to gold medals.

Perhaps he was too excited, Ying Er failed to control his clone, and the clone was tripped by something and stumbled.

The clone couldn't speak and actually had no eyes or ears. Shadow Two immediately rushed forward to observe the situation, only to see a skeleton lying on the ground that had been dead for who knows how long.

Ying Er explained the situation to the people behind him. Zero stepped forward, and Li Xingchen nervously grabbed his brother's arm and followed behind him.

He can now accept corpses well, but skeletons are still a little scary.

Zero: "Looking at the bones, they're around 20 years old, so they've been dead for about a year. There are a lot of bite marks on the bones. There must be some man-eating monsters around here."

Shadow One and Shadow Two immediately tensed up and looked around nervously.

Li Xingchen poked half of his head out from behind Zero to glance at the skeleton. Suddenly, he felt that the clothes on the skeleton looked familiar. Well, they looked like the family clothes on Li Shaohua.

Uncertain Li Xingchen frowned and suppressed the discomfort in his heart. He bravely picked up a dead branch to pick the sleeve of the skeleton. Sure enough, there was a word "Li" engraved on the left arm.

He then picked up the skeleton collar, and the coat was opened, revealing the exclusive white T-shirt of Hanlin College underneath.

"The college students who gained experience last year?" Ying Er guessed.

Shadow One: "Very likely."

A month ago, he thought that the internship at Hanlin was just a free-range camping trip. Only then did he realize that it was not that simple. People could die during the internship, and Ren Jianfei did not scare them.

Li Xingchen suppressed his fear and nausea as he looked at the bite marks on the skeleton.

"The wound is very small, I can't tell what bit it..." Li Xingchen paused, thinking back to the dense swarm of bat-like monsters that flew out before he entered the house. "Are those bats?"

Zero corrected, "Night Blood Bats. Dark elemental beasts. Unlike ordinary dark elemental beasts, they can convert the energy of their food into dark elements. The abundance of dark elemental power here is largely due to their contribution."

Ying Er, who was breathing heavily, frowned upon hearing this. Doesn't that mean they were absorbing the energy converted from the corpses eaten by the Dark Night Demon Bats?

Thinking of this, he felt nauseous and his chest ached, and he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Zero noticed it immediately and a finger of white light sank into Shadow Two's chest.

Li Xingchen supported the man and said, "Don't think too much when you are lucky, it is easy to get carried away."

He has experience in this matter.

Yingyi was a little dumbfounded by Yinger's actions.

This is not a big deal. They have committed many murders and arson while carrying out their missions. They are just absorbing the dark elements in the air, not eating corpses. Ying Er's reaction is really embarrassing for the killer...

Zero's elemental force guided Shadow Two's dark elements to circulate in his body for two cycles. The white energy turned into dark elements and was absorbed into Shadow Two's body. Shadow Two instantly felt calm and peaceful.

Ying Er was surprised. This feeling was so strange.

This person's elemental power is a bit weird...

The thought was just a fleeting thought as he stood up to thank Zero.

Zero said, "I'll punish you by giving you an extra hour of luck. If you make another mistake, you'll stay here like him."

As he spoke, he pointed to the skeleton beside him.

The two people Yun Shang assigned to them were too incompetent. Not only could they not protect the little thing, but they also asked him to heal their wounds. Zero felt a little disgusted.

Ying Er's face was full of rejection. He looked at Zero's expression and bowed, "Yes."

College students don’t wear watches, so Yingyi could only go forward and feel around the body. After searching around, he found two black translucent stones, a mobile phone, and a pendant.

Li Xingchen asked Yingyi to put the things away. After all, the deceased was a member of the Li family. The cell phone and pendant could confirm the identity of the deceased. He would then hand them over to Li Shaohua for him to deal with.

Ying Yi put away the things, took a stone and squinted to observe it. Seeing this, Ying Er grabbed another one and took a look.

"Elemental crystals are between mid-grade and high-grade. There aren't many dark elements on the market, so they can be sold for a good price."

As he said that, he handed it back to Yingyi, who took it and put it into the watch space.

Ying Er is quite knowledgeable about crystal jewelry and various stones, so what he says is almost always accurate.

They all belonged to the two masters for the time being, and the looted items naturally belonged to the two young masters. Knowing that Li Xingchen would definitely dislike the items being taken from dead people, he kept them for the two young masters first.

Elemental crystals are actually concentrated versions of elemental power. They are of little use to humans, but for beast pets and spiritual pets, they are great items for advancement.

Since the price of upgrading a pet to a higher level will increase several times or even dozens of times, the price of elemental crystals is not cheap.

Of course, pets of different grades require different quality and quantity of crystals, but this thing is hard to come by and can only be found in places with rich elemental power.

Someone once spent a lot of money to hire a Taoist priest to set up a spirit gathering array in order to induce labor, but it was unsuccessful.

Yingyi put away the things and controlled his clone to continue exploring the way. However, after they had taken a few steps, they found another corpse not far away.

The skeleton of this corpse was obviously larger than the previous one. After examining it, Ying Yi said, "It's from Bing Ning Country."

Li Xingchen got over the initial fear and was now a little braver, mainly because Zero was holding his hand. He felt confident and was able to look at the skeleton straight in the eye.

The two of them walked forward and took a rough look. Li Xingchen guessed the general situation: there was a conflict between the people of Bingning and the students of Hanlin. After the battle, both sides were seriously injured if not killed. They were probably unable to move and were picked up and eaten by the returning Dark Night Blood Bats.

"Search." Li Xingchen said to Erying.

Ying Er and Ying Yi, who had calmed down, searched the corpse together.

A machete, poorly made, Ying Er kicked it aside.

It was a watch, a small brand, worth tens of thousands, so Ying Yi bought it.

The cell phone was worthless, so I threw it away… Three minutes later, the second shadow stood up.

Ying Er said, "This Bing Ning countryman is really shabby. Apart from that watch, he has nothing valuable."

Li Xingchen: ...

Ying Yi slapped Ying Er on the back of the head, "Young Master, you didn't find anything useful."

Li Xingchen was stuck in a trance. He had asked them to "search" to find any useful enemy information, but Ying Er actually thought he wanted to make a fortune by picking up corpses...

Li Xingchen rolled his eyes at Ying Er and said, "If you don't have anything useful, then let's go."

After being slapped, Ying Er finally realized that he had misunderstood his young master. He stood up and followed him, shutting up and not daring to say anything else.

After walking for a while, they came across some other skeletons, some from three to five years ago, and some even older. There was basically nothing on those older corpses.

Li Xingchen didn't find it strange. He thought it was probably looted by someone who came in later.

Three hours later, Li Xingchen and his team harvested five crystals, three weapons, two first aid kits, and a forest map from Bingning Country.

Li Xingchen opened it and took a quick glance, and Zero suddenly extinguished the white flame used for lighting.

The two shadows immediately dispersed and stood in the dark to be on guard. Li Xingchen also held his brother's hand and held his breath.

Soon, they heard faint footsteps coming from the front.
