Chapter 218 Sharp Eyes
The direction Baishui pointed to was where the Corpse Squad encountered the Leopard.
However, as time passed, the spiritual energy remaining there gradually dissipated, and the remaining breath was already negligible.
For a person of the first level, it is extremely difficult to detect these auras. Of course, it is not impossible if one has special skills.
The land there had already been torn apart in previous battles. Large craters had been blown out in some areas, and there were traces of huge claws scratching the ground.
Blood splattered everywhere. Apart from that, there was also a skeleton left there. Maggots were constantly swarming in the remaining flesh on the body, and the fishy smell could be smelled from a long distance away.
After they walked for a while, the smell became more noticeable.
At this moment, Ji Mo pretended to be very surprised, with his brows tightly furrowed.
He turned his head to look at Baishui with an extremely serious expression, and Baishui was the same at this moment.
"It smells like a corpse."
The pungent smell in the air constantly irritated Baishui's nostrils.
She swallowed, her body tense, obviously nervous.
"End of season... let's go check it out."
The two continued walking forward, and soon they saw an open land.
The surrounding trees had already been burned, and the ground was in ruins. It was obvious that it had been the site of a very fierce battle.
The two men followed the smell and saw a ragged corpse with a silver medal beside him.
The two men walked over carefully. Baishui picked up the token and looked at the silver plate on it that was bitten through by canine teeth.
"Qin Ruchang."
Baishui murmured softly, obviously knowing this person.
Ji Mo asked curiously, "Do you know him?"
Baishui nodded, "I know him. He's from Class B and a member of the branch. He's at the peak of the first level and good at main attacks. I didn't expect him to be attacked on the periphery and die."
Baishui put the silver medal in her pocket. She squatted beside the corpse, looked at the scratches left on his bones, and kept analyzing the scene before Qin Ruchang's death.
After a while, she stood up and shook her head.
"They seem to have encountered a wild beast. Their bodies are covered in scratches. Although the remaining aura is unidentifiable, it should be at least level two, otherwise they would definitely have escaped."
Ji Mo listened to her analysis and nodded in agreement.
"So are we going back now?"
"Or should we continue to explore?"
"We can find traces of their battle. The attacking beasts are likely still around."
Bai Shui's expression was a little conflicted, and he seemed undecided.
Finally, she looked at Ji Mo with her big eyes, as if asking for help.
Ji Mo's frown turned into a slight smile.
"Now that we're here, let's keep exploring. Who knows, we might find it."
Bai Shui nodded in agreement, but did not reply. It seemed that Qin Ruchang's death was a big blow to her.
The two continued walking along the traces left on the ground, and under Ji Mo's deliberate guidance, they came to the vicinity of the leopard.
At this moment, the leopard had eaten most of the corpse, leaving only a few pieces of rotten meat in the chest cavity, and seemed to be uninterested.
The scarlet intestines were not completely eaten and were scattered all over the floor. The smell of blood was very strong.
Bai Shui followed Ji Mo, looking a little dazed. She wondered if she was very close to Qin Ruchang, which led to her current situation.
Ji Mo did not ask any questions, but just led the way silently in front. When he came near the leopard, he saw the leopard stretching lazily, and suddenly paused.
Bai Shui, who was following behind him, didn't even have time to react and bumped into Ji Mo. His head and chest were pressed against Ji Mo's back, and he couldn't help but let out a light groan.
Even the battle-hardened Ji Mo did not expect that Bai Shui, who was in the scout position, could not even react to this.
After hitting the white water, his body couldn't help but move backwards, and his foot stepped on the branch beside him, making a crisp sound.
The leopard stretched lazily, its eyes suddenly became sharp, the corners of its mouth were stained with blood, the blood on its fur was dripping, and its sharp eyes looked over here.
"Depend on."
By the end of the season, they knew from the leopard's sharp eyes that it had discovered them.
Ji Mo had no time to explain. He turned around instantly, picked up Bai Shui who was about to fall, and fled quickly.
The leopard was chasing from behind with light steps.
"Something's wrong."
Something felt distinctly wrong with this leopard towards the end of the season.
It was not at all surprised by the sound of the white water, and seemed to take it for granted.
It is obviously impossible for a second-level beast to have such strong intelligence, and its gaze was not directed at Baishui, but at Ji Mo.
This kind of look is very clear and easy to perceive.
Baishui, who was picked up, obviously couldn't react.
"what happened?"
Ji Mo's speed was getting faster and faster, almost reaching the fastest speed at the peak of the first turn, but Bai Shui could not sense what was chasing him from behind, and could not understand why he wanted to run away.
But thinking of her distraction just now, she felt a little depressed, thinking that it was her carelessness that attracted the attention of the beast.
Ji Mo did not respond while running. He was thinking about one thing, whether to leave Bai Shui behind to attract the leopard's attention. If Bai Shui died, Ji Mo would become the only scout of the team. At that time, Ji Mo would know everything and could play tricks on the remaining people.
But if you think about it carefully, if someone dies suddenly on the first day, you will inevitably suspect yourself. After thinking for a moment, Ji Mo gave up this idea.
"Quarterly, don't run away. There's nothing behind us."
"Also, I'm sorry for what happened earlier. I lost my mind."
Baishui was like an opened chatterbox, pouring out his inner thoughts one by one, which made Ji Mo feel a little annoyed.
In desperation, Ji Mo raised his hand and slapped her butt while running.
"Don't talk yet, the leopard is following us."
"what?!"
Baishui's cheeks turned red with embarrassment when his butt was slapped, and his voice became louder.
Just as she was about to punish Ji Mo for taking advantage of them, she heard Ji Mo say that a wild beast was chasing them. She immediately shut up and her body became gentle with intentional movements so that Ji Mo could use his full strength.
Although she didn't sense the beast following her, she was still willing to believe in the end of the season.
After all, the current situation was almost created by him. If he hadn't been distracted, it wouldn't have turned out like this.
Moreover, because he was holding me, his speed at the end of the season was significantly reduced. If it wasn't for protecting myself, there would be no need to run with me.
Suddenly, Ji Mo, who was running, stopped suddenly. A sharp claw swept through the air, and the fingers brushed across the bodies of the two people, tearing the clothes on Ji Mo's abdomen and the clothes on Bai Shui's thighs into pieces.
"Depend on."
Ji Mo shouted angrily, "Level 2, at least a Level 2 beast."
"We can't escape! Is there any way to contact Ji Yun? We must work together to solve this problem."
"Otherwise, we'll both die here together!"
