It's night, quietly descending.
Shen Yanxiao sat in the room, waiting for the opportunity to come.
Zhuque stood obediently beside her, waiting for her master's action.
A loud noise came from outside the window, and Shen Yanxiao, who was about to take action, was slightly stunned. Just as he was about to make a move, the door was pushed open by Uncle Jiu.
There was no expression on Uncle Jiu's aged face. He looked at the two little ones in the room and said in a deep voice, "There's something going on outside that I need to deal with. Don't go out of the room, it's not safe at night
Shen Yanxiao nodded obediently.
Uncle Nine left immediately.
At the moment when Uncle Jiu turned around and left, a faint smell of blood wafted from him.
Shen Yanxiao squinted her eyes. After Uncle Jiu left, she immediately got up and opened the door.
Zhuque, can you smell it? "Shen Yanxiao asked.
The Vermilion Bird sniffed.
There is a medicinal smell and a hint of bloody smell? "The divine beast's sense of smell is very sensitive, even in such a strong medicinal aroma, he still captures that trace of bloody smell.
Shen Yanxiao frowned. The village made her feel inexplicably strange. She leaned in to the window and looked out. Under the moonlight, she could see some black shadows darting through the village road at an extremely fast speed.
The speed of those shadows is so fast that it's impossible to see what they are.
Let's go take a look. "Shen Yanxiao felt that Jiushu was a bit strange. Although she didn't feel any malice towards him, the words that Lao Ba had been interrupted before and the hint of bloody smell made her feel very strange.
Taking advantage of Uncle Jiu's departure, Shen Yanxiao followed the faint smell of blood and walked towards the depths of the room.
In the end, she found the source of the bloody smell in the corner of the kitchen.
The faint smell came from under the slate in the corner of the kitchen.
With a movement of her finger, Zhuque flipped up the stone slab and a pitch black passage appeared in front of them.
Wait up there, someone will come back and tell me. "As the stone slab opened, the bloody smell became even stronger. Shen Yanxiao decided to go down and see for himself, perhaps to find out the strangeness of this village.
Zhuque nodded.
Shen Yanxiao took out a condensed crystal from the ring and walked down the corridor with the light.
The narrow staircase leads directly to the underground, and the further Shen Yanxiao goes down, the clearer he can smell the bloody smell and the fragrance of some herbs.
Along the way, a small stone chamber appeared in front of Shen Yanxiao. In the chamber, which was less than 20 square meters, there were four wooden beds, each with a sleeping man lying on it.
On both sides of the stone chamber, there are countless large and small medicinal jars. Shen Yan and Xiao Guang could tell from the smell that most of the medicinal herbs in these jars were used to heal wounds.
She walked towards the four wooden beds, and with the radiance emitted by the condensed crystal, she could see the faces of those four people clearly.
Those are young men in their twenties, with mostly facial injuries. Judging from the injuries, they were suffered half a month ago, and based on the residue on the wound, it can be inferred that these people have received some treatment.
Suddenly, a basement popped out of Uncle Jiu's room, containing four young people lying unconscious. This really made Shen Yanxiao feel very strange.
What surprised her even more was that when she was inspecting these four people, she found badges belonging to the Cave Wolf Mercenary Group on their bodies!
