189: C189 The Purgatory of the Human World

C189 The Purgatory of the Human World

That shot was done by a large-caliber shotgun.

Ye Kai had heard this sound before during his special training in the Special Action Team, when he was fighting and resting. It was the "duck filling" style Liu Hongwei had given him.

Judging the power and performance of the enemy's weapon from the sound of the gunshot was also a must-have skill for the members of the Special Action Team.

This kind of gunshot appeared in this place. Moreover, there were a few faint beast roars. Could it be that the hunter was looking for a hunter and was in danger?

It didn't seem like it!

This kind of large-caliber shotgun was not usually equipped by the army. However, it was also not something that a hunter could obtain.

Unless it was a mercenary or a full-time bodyguard who would use this kind of gun.

Ye Kai did not want to guess anymore. As long as he arrived at the scene, everything would be clear.

He turned on the Clairvoyance Ability and looked in the direction of the gunshot. He did not find anything. Maybe it was because the distance was too far.

Ye Kai and Chu Shuang did not carry guns. They did not have any other weapons besides the daggers and the wand. After all, they went to check on Chu Genqing's friend's condition, not to carry out an assassination mission.

Therefore, the look Ye Kai gave Chu Shuang just now showed that he had to be careful and adapt to the situation.

Ten minutes later, Ye Kai's Clairvoyance Ability could penetrate the thick forest and see the situation not far ahead.

Ye Kai did not have the time to look at the specific situation, but... He could vaguely see about 200 meters ahead of him. There was a small pond on the ground beside the pond. There were many people lying on the ground, and there were a few shocking bloodstains on the ground.

Among them, there were three powerful men with big caliber grapeshot guns in their hands. Those few gunshots should have been caused by the Big Killing Weapon in the hands of these three men.

However, seeing that the three men had already fallen to the ground and were not moving, they should be dead or unconscious. The grapeshot gun would not pose any threat for the time being.

Seeing this, Ye Kai withdrew the Clairvoyance Ability and took the lead without hesitation, rushing to the place he had just discovered.

Chu Shuang, who was behind him, felt that Ye Kai running over was a bit reckless, but since Ye Kai was not afraid, then she had no reason to retreat. Therefore, Ye Kai ran over without saying anything, and Chu Shuang also followed.

When the Clairvoyance Ability saw the vague scene in front of him, Ye Kai was stunned.

There were seventeen or eighteen people on the ground, or in other words, seventeen or eighteen corpses.

About half of the people, judging from their clothes, should be the exploration team members. They were all wearing multi-purpose vests and camouflage clothing, these clothes could maximize the amount of necessities needed for the exploration. They wouldn't be too cumbersome. And the uniformly flame-shaped signage on their chests, all of this... It was enough for Ye Kai to guess their occupation.

However, although Ye Kai did not know them, from the edge of the pond... A few very professional tents were set up, as well as some very expensive exploration equipment scattered around. It could be seen that these exploration team members were in the exploration world of Huaxia. They were definitely not unknown people.

Apart from these exploration team members, among the remaining people, three of them, Ye Kai, had roughly seen a robust man. They all held guns in their hands, large caliber shotgun, and the sound they made was the same as what Ye Kai had heard.

The other few people looked like scholars and researchers. They were all quite old, and besides a few mountain crutches, they were unarmed.

Ye Kai only took a glance at all of this and did not want to look anymore.

Because compared to determining their profession and identity, everything that happened at the scene made Ye Kai feel an inexplicable fear rise in his heart.

What exactly happened here?

Almost none of the members of the expedition team were in good condition. Broken limbs, torn arms and legs, ripped off hands and legs... There were also two people whose heads were still attached to half of their necks, which were thrown to the side of the pond. The stomach of the other one had been cut open by some sharp weapon, and its intestines were flowing all over the ground.

The most pitiful one was a short man, who seemed to have been killed by something. His neck had been pierced through five bloody holes, and blood was flowing out. His face was as pale as a sheet of paper. The fear that he had experienced... Maybe the most?

Looking at the three men with guns, Ye Kai recognized them as men. It was not because of their faces, but because of their heads. They were all hit by something, and their brains and blood splattered all over the ground. Their faces couldn't be seen clearly, but from their muscles and their naked upper bodies... Their gender could be determined.

Ye Kai lifted his foot and stepped over a pair of eyeballs that had been crushed by something. He breathed in the stench of blood in the air and went to check on the few scholars who had the 'lightest injuries' and had the highest chance of surviving.

Compared to the injuries of those scholars, compared to the previous exploration team members and the three armed men, the injuries of those scholars were... They had at most two wounds on their bodies, or at their necks. The wound was cut off by a sharp weapon, or it was in their chest and abdomen, pierced by a sharp weapon...

"Urgh... Urgh... Urgh... Urgh..."

Chu Shuang, who had just arrived, had never seen such a scene before. Usually, she would only see bloody scenes in the Chu family. However, during the sparring session, she was beaten until she bled. She was just an opponent who had lost an arm. The current her... Her legs had long gone soft. She knelt to the side and spat out all the food in her stomach, including the gallbladder, sweat, and gastric juices that she had eaten a few days ago.

Ye Kai furrowed his brows and breathed in and out seven or eight times in a row. He tried his best to calm his mind and search one by one to see if there were any survivors.

He knew that now was not the time to be pretentious. If he could find more of them, he would be able to restore the situation to its original state. Otherwise, these people who had died here might not be able to feel at ease even after walking the path of the Yellow Spring.

What would be the cause of this incident in the Mortal Purgatory? Beast? Or crazy mercenaries? Or some barbarians hiding in the forest?

Ye Kai did not know, nor did he want to know.

However, he had a strong feeling that he could not help but continue to investigate.

"Eh..."

When Ye Kai turned to the eighth "corpse," he suddenly found that this "corpse" seemed to still have a weak breath!

"Brother, wake up. Brother!"

Ye Kai helped the silver-haired old man up from the other corpse while using the Clairvoyance Ability to examine his injuries.

The old man's injuries were very serious. His right chest had been pierced by a sharp weapon, and he had lost a lot of blood. Fortunately, other than his right lung, no other internal organs had been injured. Now that he had encountered Ye Kai, he could still be saved!

Ye Kai didn't care about anything else. He didn't care if the old man was good or bad, or what kind of person he was. In short, saving a person's life was better than building a seven-storied pagoda!

The Clairvoyance Ability gathered into an invisible net, and directly "blocked" the bloody hole and the hole in his right lung. Then, under Ye Kai's full control, the Clairvoyance Ability's derivative power... It started to protect the heart, providing it with all its power. It kept moving all the blood in its body.

After half a minute, the old man in his arms gradually stabilized his injuries, and he let out a muffled groan.

"Mhmm... Mm-hmm... "

Exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, the old man slowly opened his eyes.

Only at this moment did Ye Kai withdraw the Clairvoyance Ability and pay attention to the old man's face.

It was not a big deal to look at him. Ye Kai recognized this person!

"Mister Situ?!"

Ye Kai cried out in alarm.

That's right, the person in front of him was the old man, Situ Wuwei, who had notarized the bet between Ye Kai and Zhou Zhengdao during the gambling event organized by the Blessings.

Ye Kai remembered that Zhou Zhengdao had lost the bet with him. He still wanted to go back on his word, but later he actually wanted to make a move on the notary, Old Man Situ Wuwei. In the end, the old man's two bodyguards pointed their guns at their heads. Zhou Zhengdao's father, Zhou Xiaotian, also stepped forward to mediate, and only then did he give up.

However, the matter of this old man Situ Wuwei carrying two bodyguards with him at that time... At that time, many people who had nothing better to do were talking about it, saying that the government of Hua Xia attached great importance to him. They specifically allowed two armed bodyguards to follow him.

Ye Kai also knew that this old man, Situ Wuwei, was a great figure in the world of ancient relics and treasures. He also had a few words with this old man that he had benefited a lot from.

Therefore, Ye Kai had a very good impression of this old man.

At the same time, he also thought that he would meet this old man again in this very strange place.

"Uh..."

Situ Wuwei clearly recognized Ye Kai. He took a few deep breaths and nodded slightly at Ye Kai.

Ye Kai quickly took out the water bottle he brought with him and gave Situ Wuwei two sips of water.1

Perhaps it was because of the wound, Situ Wuwei choked after drinking two sips.

Ye Kai quickly patted his back for him, and at the same time, he asked in a low voice, "Old Mr Situ, why are you here? What... what exactly happened here?"

At this moment, Chu Shuang, who had been vomiting for a long time, saw Ye Kai find a living person. He panted while rubbing his swollen temples and pale face. He walked over.

Situ Wuwei rested for another half a minute. With Ye Kai's help, he turned his head and looked around. Suddenly, his old eyes turned red and two streams of silent tears flowed down.

At Situ Wuwei's age, he basically did not care about life and death. There were very few things that could make him cry.

Now, Ye Kai could understand why this old man was sad. In fact, it was too tragic!

Of the twenty people, besides Situ Wuwei, none of them had returned in their lives! Moreover, their deaths were extremely miserable, and they rarely left their corpses intact. Even the families of these people would find it difficult to retrieve a family member that they could recognize in the future, right?

"Quick... look... at that monster!"

Situ Wuwei cried for a while. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he revealed a frightened expression as he spoke to Ye Kai. At the same time, he raised his hand to point at something for Ye Kai to see.

However, because he was too weak, he did not get what he wanted.

"Old Mr Situ, what did you say? What monster? Where is it?"

In this kind of mortal purgatory, where there was dead silence, whatever monster Situ Wuwei mentioned made Ye Kai and Chu Shuang's scalp tingle.

Monster?!

Could it be the murderer who caused all of this?

Situ Wuwei fixed his pair of old eyes on a large rock by the pond, breathing heavily. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Chen... Chen Siyu! That... Strange... Monster! It's him! And... And his... accomplice..."
