139: Chapter 95 The Raven Forest of Death, The Crimson Scarecrow_2 139: Chapter 95 The Raven Forest of Death, The Crimson Scarecrow_2 Gu Rongjie didn’t answer, instead, she looked at Lin Baici with an inquiring gaze, the meaning was clear without words, without Lin Baici’s signal, she would not reveal his identity as a God Hunter.

“What exactly is the situation with this rule contamination?”

Lin Baici picked up a crossbow: “Everyone, come pick a weapon.”

Hua Yue Yu picked up a bow first, pulled on the cowhide bowstring, found she couldn’t draw it, and then switched to a bronze spear.

The others were also choosing weapons.

“You see the meat hanging there, right?

Every now and then, a large flock of crows will come to feed on them.

Our task is to protect them!”

Qi Fentou turned his head, instructing his comrades: “You guys go set up defenses first, I’ll take them over!”

“Boss Wang, be careful!”

“Boss Wang, please come back quickly!”

“Should we beat up that guy who cursed at you?”

The people under Wang Mingfu’s command were very cohesive and relied heavily on him.

“No need, disputes over pride are pointless!”

Wang Mingfu waved his hand dismissively and called to Lin Baici and the others: “Let’s go quickly, the flock of crows could be back any minute!”

The group followed Wang Mingfu, heading in the direction of ten o’clock.

“You’ve been here for a while, haven’t you?

Have you found a way to drive off those crows?”

Lin Baici surveyed the surroundings: “How many times have the crows attacked?

How long does each attack last?”

“You can use smoke, spear them, or even make scarecrows to deceive and drive away the crows.”

Wang Mingfu did not conceal the truth.

“Scarecrows?

I’ve made those back in my hometown.”

Zhou Ya’s face lit up; she felt she could finally be of use.

“Heh heh!”

Wang Mingfu chuckled.

Hua Yue Yu’s brows furrowed.

Was there a note of sarcasm in that laugh?

The group walked about a hundred meters when Wang Mingfu stopped.

“This is the meat forest you are responsible for!”

Wang Mingfu took a deep breath, his expression cold: “Don’t count on us to help you, fend for yourselves!”

Upon hearing this, the group couldn’t help but glance at Lin Baici.

Du Xin curled her lips, thinking to herself, Boss Wang, you’re on a narrow path.

We have three God Hunters here, and on top of that, a strong member like Lin Baici, do we need your help?

It’s you who should worry about pleading for help later.

Ugh!

If only I were a hunter too.

Du Xin felt gloomy, knowing that Lin Baici didn’t think highly of her, not because of her looks but rather her lifestyle was too unreserved.

After all, even Du Xin herself knew that if she wanted to get married in the future, she’d have to find someone rather dull and cowardly to take the bait, otherwise her pre-marital life, if shaken out, would most likely result in domestic violence by her husband.

God damn it!

If I had known I’d enter God’s Ruins, I would’ve been a good girl before, that way my value would be higher.

“There’s no one guarding this place, can’t we run?”

Hua Yue Yu looked around, not seeing any soldiers.

“You can’t run.

But you can try if you want!”

Wang Mingfu sneered.

“Can you speak clearly?”

Xia Hongyao was annoyed with Wang Mingfu’s attitude.

Wang Mingfu didn’t actually want to speak; what did it matter to him if these people lived or died?

However, thinking they might fail to defend this meat forest and the eunuch might vent his anger on him, he explained.

“Among our group, some tried to run.

When the crows attacked, their beaks held several of those who had fled.

They simply dropped them from the sky, smashing them into meat pies.

Others were caught by the soldiers who, right before our eyes, eviscerated the unfortunate wretches, flayed them, and turned them into scarecrows, suspending their bodies on wooden frames in the forest.”

Even now, recalling those two scenes made Wang Mingfu shudder with dread.

The group exchanged looks of consternation.

Wang Mingfu took out his watch from his pocket.

Every second the hand ticked forward was a step closer toward death.

“About ten more minutes and the crows will be here.

Look out for yourselves.”

Wang Mingfu ran back — he still had a battle to command.

The group looked to Lin Baici, waiting for his orders.

“Spread out and check the surrounding environment.

Report back immediately if you find anything!”

After Lin Baici spoke, seeing Du Xin and Gu Rongjie about to come over, he immediately stopped them: “You two go to the left side, Lv Yingxi, you take a few people and go forward.”

“Zhou Ya, let’s go!”

Du Xin pulled Zhou Ya along: “Stop embarrassing yourself.

God Lin definitely won’t look after you!”

Lin Baici headed to the right.

The carcasses hung from the trees cast shadows on the ground, mottled and scarred.

“There are no bodies!”

Xia Hongyao reasoned: “Judging by Boss Wang’s deplorable state, there must have been casualties.

So where did the bodies go?”

“God Lin!

God Lin!”

Gu Rongjie suddenly called out, her voice urgent and desperate.

Lin Baici immediately sprinted over, with Xia Hongyao easily keeping pace beside him, while Hua Yue Yu was outright left behind — with her physique, she simply couldn’t keep up with the two.

“God Lin, look!”

Gu Rongjie reported as soon as she saw Lin Baici.

About twenty meters ahead in a clearing of the woods, there stood a series of wooden crosses about three meters high, constructed with logs.

On these crosses, each had a naked body nailed by wrists and ankles with twelve-inch wooden stakes, affixed onto them.

“Didn’t you ask where the bodies were?”

Lin Baici rubbed his nose: “Well, here they are!”

Others, hearing Gu Rongjie’s cry, ran over as well and were petrified by the sight.

“Isn’t this too cruel?”

A girl cried out in terror, fearing they might share the same fate.
