"There's a smell, a really strong smell around here." The young man knew what Xie Yuhua was thinking and didn't mind explaining.

Wu Xie sniffed the air carefully and said, "What does it smell like? It all smells the same to me." Equally unpleasant.

The fat man returned to the spot where Shi Xi had fallen. Seeing that Shi Xi was indeed gone, with only scattered bloodstains on the ground, he turned back and shook his head to indicate that what he had just seen was indeed Shi Xi's body.

It had been a while since Shi Xi left, but the smell in the air still lingered. The young man frowned. Why was there still a smell? Could it be that the smell wasn't coming from Shi Xi?

After thinking for a moment, the young man immediately snatched Ling Xiao from Jie Yuhua's arms and was about to throw it to the ground. Of course, he wasn't really going to throw it; he was just making a fake move. He was betting that if it was really a baby, it would either cry or open its eyes and look around. But if the baby was a corpse, it would definitely move.

The baby also transformed instantly, sticking out its injured tongue and struggling in the air. Its body slowly changed into a different state, its nails grew long, its five fingers joined together to form a shape, its limbs quickly withered, and its face no longer resembled that of a baby, but was abnormally ferocious, with bulging veins.

Jieyuhua felt a little uncomfortable; he had been holding this thing for so long, even treating it like a child…

No one expected the corpse fetus to turn into an infant. It wasn't until the young man chopped it in half that the fat man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This thing should be considered a scam. It looked harmless, but it turned out to be something like this."

"What about the child?" Wu Xie felt a pang of heartache seeing Xie Yuhua's deep sorrow.

"It seems this corpse fetus was injured. Perhaps it saw the young master or that guy impersonating the young master and hid under his identity to avoid suspicion. Unexpectedly, the fake Ling Xiao died, so it had to turn into the form of an infant, which led to us connecting the dots," said Black Bear.

Wu Xie nodded, finding his analysis quite reasonable, but it was difficult for Ling Xiao, as he hadn't yet found out where Ling Xiao was.

"Is anyone here? Why aren't you coming down?" Shi Xi called out weakly from below. He wanted to finish the mission quickly and return to the medical ward. He was bleeding his own blood, which was being used by their modified bodies. However, this blood was non-renewable and non-circulating; once it was gone, it was truly gone.

“I think we should go down. This person must know something related to the Master. Perhaps, judging from the current situation, he is really trustworthy.” Cheng Yu looked at Xie Yuhua expectantly, hoping that he could make a decision so that he could go to find the Master.

Exhausted, Xie Yuhua nodded silently. Cheng Yu darted into the cave in a flash. Fatty rubbed his eyes and cursed, "What's with this bastard running so fast? Why don't you wait for your fat grandpa!" He then tied the rope and followed after him.

Xie Yuhua was in great pain, both mentally and physically, but time was indeed of the essence, so he had to endure it no matter how much it hurt.

Wu Xie could understand Xie Yuhua's feelings very well. To be honest, he almost threw up when he saw what that thing looked like. Xiao Hua had hugged him for so long, and he remembered what Xiao Ge had said about the smell. He felt like he was covered in that smell, and Xiao Hua must have felt even worse than him.

"What should we do?" The mercenary hadn't had a chance to speak until he saw someone jump down, and then saw that the people above weren't doing anything. He wasn't sure what to do either, and since he couldn't understand what they were saying, he decided to just ask.

“You jump. I watch,” Black Bear said in broken English.

"What?" The mercenary looked at him with a "you're kidding me" expression, looked around, and found that no one was paying attention to him. He shrugged, reluctantly put away the rope, and jumped down.
