Gu Yuan slowly turned around, his body was a little stiff at this moment.
And when his face turned around, what he saw was a pair of feet dangling in front of him.
He raised his head and looked up. A body penetrated by branches hung above his head.
Even though Gu Yuan had a strong psychological quality, he was also shocked at this moment.
It was a man wearing a red jacket. He was about 1.75 meters tall and about thirty-five years old. He may have not gained weight because he often hiked and explored.
The corpse's chest had been pierced by sharp branches. It looked ferocious and its face was pale.
"It's like hanging on the southeast branch..." Kong Baihe frowned.
Gu Yuan stretched out his hand, held the evil-suppressing knife, jumped up, and cut off the branch, hoping to examine it carefully without causing damage to the body.
But what he didn't expect was that when the branch was cut off, dark red sap spurted out, as if the knife had struck a major artery, accompanied by a strong smell of blood!
Kong Baihe quickly dodged to the side, but Gu Yuan couldn't dodge in time. Some of the crimson sap splashed onto his clothes. He smelled it carefully and frowned.
"It does look like blood..."
"Could this be a tree demon?" Kong Baihe came up and said.
Gu Yuan raised his head, twisted his neck and looked around.
If this is the tree demon, then they are already heavily surrounded now, so they might as well just kill them by pulling their necks. There is no room for struggle anyway.
Then, Kong Baihe squatted down and inspected the body.
He first took out a pair of rubber gloves from his Hidden Sky Jade, looking very professional.
He squeezed the other person's body with his hands, then rubbed his arms, and then took off the clothes of the corpse. It looked like he was playing with a very new thing.
Just when Gu Yuan was about to ask, Kong Baihe stood up and pulled off his gloves.
"Judging from the degree of rigor mortis of the body and the patches of corpses that fell behind him, the time of death of the deceased should have been more than six hours, but not more than 12 hours."
Gu Yuan was a little surprised.
"Do you still have this level of knowledge?"
Kong Baihe pondered for a moment and continued: "The chest injury was not fatal, but his neck was strangled. In other words, he was hung on the tree after he died."
Gu Yuan subconsciously said: "Is it possible that he was hung on the tree first, but he was not dead at that time, so the murderer strangled his neck again..."
"Even if he hadn't died at that moment, he wouldn't have been able to live for long. If he strangled his neck at this time, the murderer would have been seriously ill." Kong Baihe glanced at Gu Yuan with disdain, "The person who made such a guess is somehow Get some too..."
Gu Yuan coughed lightly and pretended that he had never asked anything.
"But how much hatred is this? Why do you kill people and hang them on a tree?" Kong Baihe fell into deep thought.
He was a little confused about this question.
When they were outside before, they found traces of the expedition team, and it seemed that they were coming to this demon realm.
Now I see this body again, and it is also wearing a professional jacket and hiking boots. From this point of view, it is very likely that it is one of those people.
After searching for four weeks, no other bodies were found.
Gu Yuan asked: "Tell me, was it the demon soul that killed this man, or his teammates?"
Kong Baihe shook his head: "I don't know, I'm afraid only he knows this." As he spoke, he pointed to the corpse on the ground.
After a pause, he continued: "However, among the shaman clan, there is the art of interrogating the soul. Even after a person dies, the soul can be brought out for questioning. It just so happens that there is a senior member of my Kong family. You were once a wizard of the shaman clan, and you personally taught me the art of interrogating souls. Let’s see how I perform today!”
Gu Yuan's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "You can do this again? Is it true?"
"It's fake. Why do you believe everything I say?" Kong Baihe burst into laughter.
Gu Yuan: "..."
Suddenly I felt that this person was very childish.
"However, this tree is a bit strange, especially the deep red sap, which seems to have a bloody smell." Kong Baihe raised his head and looked at the tree in front of him with a serious expression.
It was also the first time for Gu Yuan to see this kind of situation, but there were no wonders in the world.
What's more, this is still a demon realm.
No matter what weird things happened, it was nothing surprising.
"Gu Yuan, what should we do next?" Kong Baihe asked.
On weekdays, Kong Baihe is also a person with great ideas. In a team, he must be the backbone. Just like in the autumn performance, the students of Jingwu Academy were very convinced of him.
But now he is in the Demon Realm. Kong Baihe knows very well that his mission is to assist Gu Yuan. When it comes to understanding the Demon Realm, even ten of him combined can't compare to Gu Yuan as a priest. .
What's more, Gu Yuan also has experience in solving the demon realm. If it were him, he would definitely not be thinking about solving the demon realm in this way at this time, but how to escape. He only needs to help Gu Yuan at the critical moment, or It is enough to provide some clues.
Gu Yuan was silent for a moment, then squatted down and groped around the man's body. He originally wanted to dig out his wallet or something to see if there was any identity information inside.
The result was a bit disappointing. From this man's body, Gu Yuan took out a multifunctional knife, a flashlight, and a metal kerosene lighter.
"This person should also have a backpack, with his mobile phone, wallet and the like in it.
. Gu Yuan guessed.
"Wait a minute." Kong Baihe suddenly noticed something, stretched out his hand and took the kerosene lighter from Gu Yuan, and said to Gu Yuan, "This lighter is a high-end luxury brand from Northern Europe. It is expensive. I I bought one before..."
While speaking, his hands were not idle at all. He had already taken out the inner tank of the lighter. Although this thing was expensive, its technical content was not high. The outer metal shell was plated with a layer of gold. The structure is inlaid with rivets to stabilize it, and inside is a metal liner filled with cotton to absorb kerosene.
"Sure enough." Kong Baihe laughed, handed the inner bladder to Gu Yuan, and said, "When I bought it, there was an option for engraving, and there are also customized words on it."
"Wang Yang?" Gu Yuan was stunned, "This should be his name."
"But just having a name is actually of no use." Kong Baihe sighed and said, "This is not a well-known figure."
"You said... you can cut his throat. If it's not a monster, but his teammate, does that mean that the other person is either a transcendent or a warrior?" Gu Yuan suddenly turned to look at Kong Baihe, his voice low.
