Wow, this rough-around-the-edges pregnant wife is something else, she's incredibly ruthless!

The source of the blood was six corpses with their bodies half-submerged in the water on the riverbank.

They were wearing the cheapest linen clothes, and their exposed skin was dark and cracked, as if they hadn't bathed for at least three months!

After chasing bison and other animals for a day and a night, Meng Tong and Lu Chuan saw this scene before them. The once lush jungle across the river was charred black, and they could even hear the sound of branches cracking from the heat.

With a furrowed brow, Meng Tong turned his gaze back to the six corpses by the river.

Why were they here, and why were they killed?

"My wife, I'll go into the water and take a look first. You wait for me here."

"it is good."

Meng Tong nodded, found a flat patch of grass to sit on, but his eyes were scanning his surroundings.

Fortunately, there is a river here, otherwise the fire would probably have continued to burn.

The reason for the sudden rampage of the large animal has been found. Meng Tong is now wondering who started the fire?

And what about the body in the river?

The Laoshan Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, and it's impossible for Meng Tong to know the entire area. She doesn't even know what the Laoshan Mountains, thousands of miles away, are.

Chaotic times are never short of daring people. If their family dared to venture into the deep mountains, others would also risk their lives to do so.

Are these six people in the river refugees who were already living deep in the mountains, or were they hunted down and brought here?

Meng Tong had no idea.

Here, Lu Chuan swam to the other side of the river where it was shallower, tossed his hair, and came to the six corpses.

The stench was nauseating. The twelve stiff and swollen legs lay crookedly on the shore, some of their clothes washed away and others buried in the water.

Overall, it looks rather strange.

Holding his breath, Lu Chuan bent down, picked up a rag from the shore, and grabbed one of the people's ankles.

With a strong pull, the body that had been submerged in the river was exposed.

"vomit……"

His body's instinctive reaction caused Lu Chuan to turn his head and gag, his dark eyes becoming moist.

The scene he had just witnessed kept replaying in his mind, and Lu Chuan's sense of nausea grew stronger and stronger.

The person who was pulled out was headless.

Shaking off the ankle he was holding, Lu Chuan knew without a doubt what would happen to the next five.

Who on earth is so cruel?

Although he had seen many corpses, Lu Chuan really couldn't stand this. He turned his head away and did a long mental preparation. When he was about to turn back to continue, he saw that his wife was already squatting on the shore, seriously studying the six corpses.

"Mother, wife? When did you arrive?"

"When you throw up."

As Meng Tong spoke, he calmly looked at the pile of human figures on the ground.

Judging from the extent of the soaking and rotting, it has been dead for about five or six days.

"This……"

Lu Chuan was a little flustered, and looked at Meng Tong with disbelief in his eyes.

Doesn't she feel scared or disgusted?

A flicker of heartache crossed Lu Chuan's dark, deep eyes. He didn't think Meng Tong was that impressive.

She must have experienced something far more cruel and disgusting than this.

Suppressing his discomfort, the man quickly walked to the shore and pulled the woman who was squatting on the ground up.

"I'll take care of it, my wife can watch over things."

"you are not……"

"I'm fine." Shaking his head awkwardly, Lu Chuan replied, "I didn't know I was too close just now. Now, my wife can just direct me."

Blinking at Lu Chuan's serious expression, Meng Tong remained silent for two seconds before agreeing.

She said to Lu Chuan, "Take off all their clothes first and check if there are any fatal wounds."

"it is good."

With swift movements, Lu Chuan reminded himself that this was just a lump of meat.

After removing all the clothes, Lu Chuan inspected them one by one.

Everyone has some unhealed wounds on their body, but the most fatal one is probably the neck.

The jumbled cuts, and the flesh on the back of the neck that had been cut but hadn't fallen off, all confirmed a hypothesis.

They were likely beaten for a long time and rendered unable to fight back before being killed piece by piece with a knife.

Murder is not surprising; what is surprising is why they would come to this remote mountain forest and use such a heinous method.

Where's the head?

Do they not want people to know who they are?

Meng Tong felt that this was a premeditated murder, and wondered if the reason for setting fire to the mountain was to create a false impression.

A fog of confusion enveloped her heart. Meng Tong looked at Lu Chuan, who was standing to the side in a daze, and asked, "Do you know what's on the other side of Laoshan?"

"what?"

The man dazedly came to his senses, his face somewhat pale.

"What's wrong with you?" Meng Tong asked anxiously.

Then she raised her hand to support Lu Chuan's arm, a look of worry flashing in her eyes.

"I'm fine, my wife, don't worry."

"Are you sure you're okay? Look at you..."

"vomit……"

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Chuan bent over and vomited, almost bringing up bile.

Meng Tong quickly helped him away from the shore, let him sit on the grass, and then channeled his supernatural power into him to relieve the pain.

"Hoohoho..."

Bai Ye, standing on the opposite bank of the river, paced back and forth anxiously, her eyes fixed on the two of them.

While channeling his supernatural abilities into Lu Chuan, Meng Tong glanced at Bai Ye and raised his right hand to wave it, indicating that it was alright.

With the input of supernatural abilities, Lu Chuan's condition improved.

Lu Chuan glanced at Meng Tong somewhat embarrassedly and said in a low voice, "Please forgive my embarrassment, my wife."

"What's the big deal? It would be strange if you didn't throw up!"

The smell was too strong. Meng Tong only threw up because of her superpowers; otherwise, she would have done the same.

It's just a physiological reaction, it's perfectly normal.

Seeing that Lu Chuan had almost recovered, Meng Tong withdrew her supernatural powers and sat down beside him, asking, "What do you think is going on with them?"

“Let’s kill each other!” Lu Chuan replied.

"My lady, were you just asking me what the other side of Laoshan is?"

"Ah."

Meng Tong nodded and looked at him.

The man narrowed his eyes slightly and continued, "Actually, I'm not sure if it's true. When I was about ten years old, a man in his thirties came to the village. He said he came from Dawn Island."

"Dawn Island? What does that have to do with Laoshan?"

"Because the village chief later asked him what Dawn Island was, and he said it was the other side of Laoshan Mountain."

"You mean there's an island on the other side of Laoshan Mountain."

"Well, we're not sure, because none of us have been there, and not everything that person says is entirely reliable."

After hearing Lu Chuan's words, Meng Tong fell silent. She felt that it was true and that these six people came from there.

Without sufficient evidence, Meng Tong would not speak recklessly.

The reason she cares about these things is simply because she doesn't want to get involved.

Since someone has the ability to enter the deep mountains and even kill people, it means that their family is not entirely safe either.

A cold glint flashed in Meng Tong's eyes; she wouldn't allow anyone to disrupt her life.

She's not strong enough yet.
