Chapter 370: Chapter 256: Quicksand White Bones_2

The desert was absolutely a place they had never tread before, even Brother Ma, who usually traveled from the north to the south, knew very little about it.

After all, there were few burials in the desert, and the ancient cities were lofty places, but they lacked the means to stake their claims, so at this moment, Brother Ma’s face was somewhat pale as he puffed on his large pipe.

He still remembered how those two camels had been dragged into the quicksand.

Knocking the ash out of his pipe, Brother Ma turned to Sui Yi standing beside him: "Miss Sui, what are you looking at?"

He looked in the direction Sui Yi was staring, saw a stretch of yellow sand, and found nothing of interest.

"Looking at people."

What? People?

Brother Ma jumped up in a flash, widening his eyes to look closely, "Where?"

It was still just a stretch of Huang Sha..

"You guys wait here; I’ll be right back."

Before anyone could react, Sui Yi had already lightly pressed her foot down, leaping across the sand slope, and ran towards the horizon.

Wei Feng’s gaze flickered, and he ran down too!

"Hey, hey, don’t run off!" Gao Yi and the other two guides were a bit frantic but couldn’t stop the duo, which caused Gong Jiu and others to rush down as well.

As guides, dealing with such highly autonomous and astonishingly strong customers was very annoying.

Sui Yi stopped, and Wei Feng, a step behind, arrived beside her, only to see a pile of yellow sand in front of Sui Yi..

Yellow tinged with white.

"Bones," Wei Feng’s eyes flashed, and he slowly pulled open the zipper of his backpack, taking out a knife.

One arm long, the knife sheath in dark green, looked quite ordinary.

With a sweep of the sheath, a gust of wind swept across, whoosh!

A swath of yellow sand was brushed away, revealing a pile of white bones.

It must have been the recent movement of the quicksand that had churned these bones from beneath the covering sand.

As Gong Jiu and the others came over, their faces instantly changed.

"Damn, it’s human bones," Liang Qing squinted, suddenly furrowed her brows, and with a flick of her short sword, she picked up a hand bone and flicked out a device.

It was a communicator.

After taking a look, she turned towards Wei Feng with a meaningful look in her eyes.

Gong Jiu and others, being very sensitive, all looked amused.

"Are all your people dying on this path?" Sui Yi suddenly asked Wei Feng.

Wei Feng hadn’t expected to deceive this person and just smiled.

"In fact, I didn’t know where they died."

"Now it’s good... I finally know where they died."

This statement made Gao Yi and the other two guides somewhat uncomfortable.

Death was a taboo for these people, but looking at Wei Huan and his crew, they seemed like daredevils who took human lives for granted. Could the destination be...

"I said, gentlemen, what you told me earlier was just to have a look along this path. You didn’t mention where we were going, we agreed beforehand that we would only take you up to that central area ahead, we definitely won’t go to the Netherworld Abyss..." Gao Yi hadn’t finished speaking when Wu Gu’s gun was already aimed at his head.

"Old man, you don’t get to decide," Wu Gu’s bullet had just been chambered when his temple was pressed by Feng Sha’s gun muzzle.

Swipe, swipe!

Guns of both parties lightened up simultaneously!

One against one... although Gong Jiu’s side had far fewer people,

the atmosphere was quite tense!

Gong Jiu smiled, "Skinny Monkey, this also involves our people, you can’t just threaten us,"

She shook her gun muzzle, "otherwise, I can use one bullet to blow off the heads of three of you!"

In terms of marksmanship, she was confident she could outshine everyone here!

Guns against guns, ready to fire at any moment!

Wei Feng looked at Sui Yi and chuckled, "I told you, bringing too many people has no good benefits. You should’ve come alone since you’re so powerful, what are you afraid of?"

"Two fists can’t defeat four hands," Sui Yi said calmly.

"Then I should have come alone too... just the two of us," Wei Feng’s smile was nearly flippant.

Sui Yi turned her head to look at him, her gaze deep, suddenly asking,

"How long have your people been here?"

Hmm?

Wei Feng glanced at the communicator in Liang Qing’s hand.

"Li Kai, code name A67, belongs to the third team..." Liang Qing’s expression suddenly turned strange, under Wei Feng’s gaze, she said, "sent here two weeks ago..."

Two weeks!

Many here were considered elites, Gong Jiu and others unmentioned, even Brother Ma and Feng Sha were capable of standing on their own, so now everyone’s eyes turned to the ground at the white bones.

"Two weeks, deducting the travel time and the time entering the desert, counts for most ten days. Ten days, even under the harsh high temperatures of the desert, a body shouldn’t have decomposed to this extent..." Shen Di spoke slowly.

A completely bleached skeleton, clean as if it had been soaked in formalin.

"And no blood..." Liang Qing laughed lightly, "Died very cleanly."

Everyone quieted down.

The person was dead, but how did they die?

This was a question.

But...

"I think the main issue is... it’s too light..." suddenly, Wei Feng used the knife sheath to lift a bone, clang!

Knife unsheathed!

This airborne bone was instantly chopped in two!

To not disgrace a wife when alive nor destroy a body when dead, that’s basic human decency, but the person in front of them didn’t even blink an eye as he severed a human bone...

Not to mention that Gao Yi and the others all grimaced, even Gong Jiu and the others frowned simultaneously.

Although they knew it was Ghost Teeth’s people, they didn’t expect them to be so ruthless!

Click, the two sections of white bones fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, similar to a tube... completely lacking the substance of a bone!

"The bones are hollow inside?" Everyone was astonished, one of Wei Feng’s subordinates stepped forward, picked up the bone and saw...

"Boss, it’s hollow inside," he remarked.

It was indeed hollow. Just as everyone confirmed, Sui Yi suddenly raised her eyebrows, her Magnetic Sensation sensed something was off.
