Chapter 4061 : Praying Mantis?
After voting, everyone continued to move forward under the leadership of Queeni and Batur.
About a kilometer away, several bodies were discovered in the snow.
Queenie was the first to shout: "Come and see!"
Everyone followed immediately.
When I got closer, I saw that a total of seven disciples of the Tianshan Sect died tragically here.
These dead people had frightened expressions on their faces, as if they had been frightened by something.
Zhao Xu carefully inspected the bodies of the seven people and saw obvious injuries on their bodies. Three of them had their necks bitten open, and the remaining four were penetrated by sharp blades and died.
All of them died miserably!
Zhao Xu frowned and said, "These disciples of the Tianshan Sect seem to have been attacked by unknown species."
On the other side, Cai Wenhan, who was squatting next to the corpse and studying it carefully, screamed: "It was the mantis man who did it."
When everyone heard this, their faces changed drastically, but at the same time they felt an indescribable joy in their hearts.
Unexpectedly, as soon as we entered the hinterland of "Kunlun Mountain", there was news about the Mantis Man.
This went much smoother than expected.
However, the tragic death of seven disciples of the "Tianshan Sect" with martial arts skills sounded a wake-up call to everyone.
"Mantis man?" Zhao Xu came to Cai Wenhan's side and asked, "Professor Cai, are you sure it was the mantis man who did it?"
Cai Wenhan nodded and said: "Look carefully at these three people who were bitten on the neck. They were eaten to death. If they were large animals, one bite could break a person's neck. There are four other people.
, died from being disembowelled."
"The mantis likes to catch live food. It has two long scythes on its forearms, which are weapons for attacking food."
"Professor Cai, have you studied what kind of food mantis people eat?" Zhao Xu asked.
"After research, they feed on some beasts and humans."
"But why were these disciples of the Tianshan Sect just killed and not eaten?"
"That's right!" Cai Wenhan looked suddenly enlightened. After thinking for a while, he said, "Is there any other ferocious beast that scares the mantis people?"
"It can't be the great white ape, right?"
"It's very possible!" Cai Wenhan nodded.
For the expedition team members, the current mood is both nervous and exciting.
What's exciting is that the "Mantis Man" really appeared.
The nervous thing is that if these terrifying creatures are not dealt with well, they will become the opponent's meal.
It’s scary just thinking about it!
Zhao Xu looked around cautiously and found nothing unusual.
He said to everyone: "Let's go! Someone will naturally clean up the corpses of these Tianshan Sect disciples."
Ever since Cai Wenhan heard Zhao Xu talk about the "Land of Kunxu", he has been yearning for this place.
If the Mantis Man really appears in the "Land of Kunxu", there is no guarantee that there will not be other unknown creatures.
Once a new species is discovered, it will be a great achievement for him.
At that time, Cai Wenhan can really retire naturally.
Quinney, Batur, Zhao Xu and Cai Wenhan were at the front.
Ni Jing, Ma Yuan, Liu Qingjuan, and Yin Kun were walking in the middle.
At the back are Sun Weifeng, Xu Daliang and Tian Ye.
Everyone walked through a rocky area and saw obvious traces of blood in the snow.
After Zhao Xu carefully inspected it, he said to everyone: "Someone is injured. The blood has not been completely frozen. They should not have gone far. Let's look for some injured people and ask about the situation at that time!"
But while walking, not far ahead, the bodies of more than 20 people from the Tianshan Sect appeared.
Zhao Xuzong stepped forward and saw that these people were either shot to death with a palm, or their throats were crushed by being choked, and some were stabbed to death by sharp blades.
"These people were killed artificially," Zhao Xu said.
Cai Wenhan frowned and said, "Strange, are there other people besides the disciples of the Tianshan Sect in the hinterland of Kunlun Mountain?"
Zhao Xu first thought of Xu Lingzhu.
Xu Lingzhu was good at using belts. Judging from the fatal wounds on these people, it was not Xu Lingzhu's fault. Then, he thought about the foreigners who appeared near Kunlun Mountain.
I thought: "Could it be those foreigners?"
Although I was thinking this in my heart, I didn't say it out loud.
Zhao Xu said: "We are nearby, let's look for any survivors!"
Everyone spread out and searched a small area, but found no other survivors or bodies.
In Zhao Xu's opinion, the blood stains that had not dried up before were not from these people.
Queenie said: "Let's mind our own business and leave quickly! We must get to Qilingpo before dark. The terrain there is vast and suitable for camping. Unlike this canyon, it is full of dangers."
Cai Wenhan nodded and said, "That makes sense! Everyone hurry up and try to get to Qilingpo before dark."
Everyone sped up their actions.
The journey was uneventful, and we finally arrived at the "Qilingpo" location before dark.
The terrain here is relatively high, and you can see the situation below. At the same time, the surrounding area is vast, the view is excellent, and there are some tall raised rocks that can shelter from the wind, which is very suitable for setting up camp.
The expedition members started to get busy. They chose a flat terrain sheltered from the wind, set up tents, and prepared things for the night.
These expedition team members have gone on adventures more than once or twice. They can easily handle things like setting up camp.
Soon, tents were set up one after another.
Zhao Xu originally wanted to find a cave to spend the night. Therefore, when he went up the mountain, he did not bring a tent with him.
At this time, Ni Jing came over carrying a tent and said to Zhao Xu: "Mr. Zhao, do you need me to help you set up the tent?"
"Is this redundant?"
"It's yours!"
"It turns out I have one too!"
Ni Jing smiled and said: "You are our sponsor and our God of Wealth, so of course you are there. I'll help you tie it, and you can help me."
After taking out the tent, Ni Jing and Zhao Xu quickly set up a tent.
Ni Jing handed Zhao Xu a heating lamp and said, "This is a heating lamp. It can be used for both lighting and heating."
"Thank you!" Zhao Xu reached out and took it.
Ni Jing stared at Zhao Xu and asked, "Mr. Zhao, you have no experience camping outside, right?"
"I have happened occasionally, but only in summer. This is the first time in such a cold place."
Ni Jing smiled and said: "I like outdoor life the most. I feel that the whole person is integrated with nature."
"You and your friends will sleep in this tent. You can pack it up and take it with you tomorrow morning."
"Okay! Thank you, Miss Ni."
"You're welcome! You guys have a little rest and we'll have barbecue tonight."
"Is there any barbecue to eat?" Zhao Xu looked surprised.
