C1189 There Was No Meat to Eat
Everyone was silent for a while, but they still lowered their heads and searched through the bushes.2
However, the person called Xiao An had been missing for almost a week. Even if he had left behind some sort of mark, he had probably disappeared a long time ago.
When Ye Ziheng and the others looked from head to toe and found the cave, they couldn't help but shake their heads.
When it was late in the night, the four of them returned to the underground cave and took out a map. They made a cross in this area and excluded it from the search range.
"If you want me to say it, we might as well make a cross. If this person had just gone missing, it would have been easier to find him. After all, the clues were still there. But now, it's been a week. Any clues would have been cut off long ago. And that person must be dead already. I've never heard of it... Which Ghost Demonic Beast would raise a human after catching them, and not kill them and eat them?"
Qi Wu couldn't help but grumble.
Cai'er rolled her eyes at him when she heard him, but Qi Wu just lied down on the bed and didn't say anything.
Ye Ziheng naturally understood what Qi Wu meant. Did the Demonic Beast capture people and not eat them? This was not possible. That Little An had most likely turned into a corpse or skeleton. But he had promised him that no matter what, he would help him complete the mission. Even if he had turned into a corpse, he had become a skeleton. He had to drag it back.
"But this Mach is really stubborn. This kind of situation happens every year. He should also know what kind of situation his girlfriend will be in. Why did she still insist on us coming over to look for her?"
After Cai'er said that, she also could not help but sigh.
But Ye Ziheng could not help frowning. His face revealed a trace of temptation.
"This kind of situation happens every year?"
Ye Ziheng asked.
Cai'er looked at Ye Ziheng and shrugged, then nodded.
"The soldiers of Hell City often go out to carry out various missions, but because of different degrees of danger, even when there is a general accompanying them, there are often some missing incidents. There have been some cases since a few years ago, and every year, the number of missing people has been maintained at two digits. Sometimes, we can find corpses, but sometimes, we can't even find corpses. "
"Then did the general not suspect anything?"
Ye Ziheng couldn't help but ask. Logically speaking, the general should take such a strange thing to heart.
But Cai'er shook her head.
"At first, we were quite suspicious. Later, we accidentally found a Ghost Demonic Beast's nest. Other than two small Ghost Demonic Beasts, there were also seven or eight human corpses inside."
Upon hearing this, he instantly understood something.
"That corpse was dragged back by the Ghost Demonic Beast to feed his children?"
Cai'er nodded.
But Ye Ziheng still felt that something was not right.
"But there are at least tens of thousands of Ghost Demonic Beasts in Ghost Beast Forest. I'm afraid there are less than 1000 soldiers in Hell City."
Cai'er smiled. She naturally understood what Ye Ziheng meant.
"If we only eat humans, I'm afraid the total number of humans in the Hell City will not be enough to fill the gaps between their teeth. But don't worry, humans aren't their only food. Many of the herbs in Ghost Beast Forest are highly toxic to us, but to them... But it's real food."
Cai'er seemed to have thought of something when she said this, and a helpless smile appeared on her face.
"But even if the dishes are delicious, it is not as good as the meat."
