Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1477 - 1475: There’s Something Wrong with the Corpse

The two Great Demon Immortals were now extremely furious, but no matter how angry they were, the dead demon beasts couldn’t come back to life, leaving them with a sense of helplessness. They found it strange too, as they had been back for a few days now, and every day so many demon beasts died, yet they hadn’t found the culprit. If they really found out who killed these demon beasts, the two of them would definitely tear the person to pieces!

With no other option, they could only first collect the corpses of the demon beasts, dig a large pit, and bury them. Once they had done all this, the two immediately set off, searching around to catch whoever was killing these demon beasts.

Coincidentally, just as the two were not far away, a roar of a demon beast suddenly sounded in the distance. Upon hearing this, the eyes of the two Great Demon Immortals lit up and they immediately transformed into one blue and one black streak of light, rushing over. When they arrived, they saw the Gu Family’s Demon Hunting Team hunting demon beasts, which instantly enraged the two Great Demon Immortals!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning along with a black flame directly shot towards the distant Demon Hunting Team, instantly killing a few people who were hunting demon beasts. This sudden situation left the Gu Family’s Demon Hunting Team dumbfounded, wondering when the two Great Demon Immortals had returned to the Lost Forest. What exactly was going on?

At this moment, the two Great Demon Immortals appeared next to the demon beast being besieged, coldly watching the Gu Family’s Demon Hunting Team. Such a cold gaze made the members of the Gu Family’s Demon Hunting Team feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave, causing cold sweat to break out immediately. No one dared to move recklessly at this time.

"Get lost, from today onwards, human cultivators are not allowed to hunt demon beasts. Otherwise, don’t blame me for destroying you!" The Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon’s body flashed with blue electric light as it coldly spoke to the members of the Gu Family’s Demon Hunting Team. Right now, it really didn’t want to kill people at random, otherwise, if it were its past self, these human cultivators would have been charred by now!

"Spread this message, from now on, the Lost Forest is a forbidden zone!" The Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger added on the side. Looking at these humans, it also wanted to kill them, but following Lin Feng’s guidance, it acted less impulsively, even suppressing its anger.

Hearing the two Great Demon Immortals say this, the members of the Gu Family’s Demon Hunting Team turned and fled without another word. They really couldn’t figure out what was going on. Before, hunting demon beasts in the Lost Forest, the two Great Demon Immortals never intervened. Why had the situation changed today, prohibiting the hunting of demon beasts? What were they going to do in the future?

Of course, this was merely their thought. Even with a hundred thousand times more courage, they wouldn’t dare to say this to the two Great Demon Immortals. Those were two Great Demon Immortals; if a fight really broke out, they wouldn’t even be enough to fill the gaps between their teeth. Now, they could only return swiftly to the Gu Family and spread this news...

After the people of the Gu Family left, the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon and the Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger calmed down a bit. Looking at the demon beast that was already scarred, there was nothing they could do to heal it, so they could only let it find a place to rest on its own.

Then, the two continued their patrol in the Lost Forest. This forest was so vast, excessively so. During their patrols, they sometimes stumbled upon the corpses of demon beasts, which frustrated them even more, as they couldn’t find out who the culprit was. This situation almost drove the two Great Demon Immortals insane!

"Come over here."

While the two Great Demon Immortals were overwhelmed with anger, Lin Feng’s voice suddenly appeared in their minds. They were stunned for a moment but then realized Lin Feng was back. Without a word, they dropped what they were doing and rushed towards Lin Feng.

In the blink of an eye, they found Lin Feng according to his instructions. At that moment, Lin Feng was floating in mid-air, seemingly observing something. The two Great Demon Immortals immediately rose into the air, flying to Lin Feng’s side.

"Boss, you’re back!"

"Boss, why did you come?"

The Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon and the Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger spoke as they looked at Lin Feng, curious as to why he came to the Lost Forest to find them. Did something happen in the Secular World?

"I heard there was trouble in the Lost Forest, so I came to take a look." Lin Feng said calmly, looking at the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon and the Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger in front of him.

"Boss, don’t mention it. We are also aware that normal hunting is reasonable; otherwise, demon beasts would become complacent and not evolve. It’s a balance in itself. That’s why Old Black and I never prohibited human cultivators from hunting demon beasts. But now, these human cultivators have gone too far. Recently, the number of demon beasts in the Lost Forest has plummeted, with at least dozens dying each day, and sometimes even over a hundred. If this continues, the entire Lost Forest will be ruined!"

The Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon spoke painfully upon hearing Lin Feng’s words. It had not expected the situation to deteriorate to such an extent, and till now, there was no clue at all. It really wanted to kill and eliminate the four prominent families and other human cultivators for mercilessly slaughtering demon beasts!

"Boss, the current situation is very odd. Old Blue and I have wandered for several days and haven’t discovered who’s doing the killings. Besides the hunting teams of the four prominent families, we encountered no other humans. Yet, the demon beasts die like this. The matter is very strange. Old Ray and I even considered wiping out the four prominent families!" The Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger added, feeling extremely confused. It clearly knew it was humans who did it but couldn’t attack them since Lin Feng would never allow it.

Listening to the two Great Demon Immortals, Lin Feng frowned slightly. Both were mid-level demon immortals now, yet they couldn’t find out who was killing these demon beasts. This seemed even more unusual. In such a situation, rashly acting against cultivators in the Hidden World was clearly not a wise decision.

"Calm down first, take me to see the corpses of the dead demon beasts, and then I’ll decide how to proceed." Lin Feng said calmly to the two Great Demon Immortals. He understood their feelings but the truth must be uncovered, so the real situation had to be clarified first.

"Alright, Boss, we’ll take you!" The Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon agreed immediately upon hearing Lin Feng say this, understanding that Lin Feng wanted to investigate. They wanted to know what was happening too, so he quickly agreed and left with Lin Feng, together with the Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger.

Shortly after, they arrived at a clearing. The Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon unleashed a bolt of lightning, creating a large pit on the ground, inside which lay more than a dozen demon beast corpses, the ones he and the Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger had just buried. Since Lin Feng wanted to examine the corpses of the dead demon beasts, these were most suitable.

Upon seeing these demon beasts’ bodies, Lin Feng didn’t say anything. He moved around them, carefully inspecting the wounds on the demon beasts. This inspection unsettled him. Rather than the wounds being gruesome, it was because the wounds didn’t seem to be caused by humans!

Seeing Lin Feng standing there frowning, the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon and the Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger were puzzled, not understanding why Lin Feng was frowning. Finally, the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon couldn’t resist asking Lin Feng, "Boss, what’s wrong? Did you discover something?"

The Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon truly didn’t understand what was going on. Why did Lin Feng frown after viewing the corpses? Did the Boss find some clue? The Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger was equally puzzled by Lin Feng’s actions, knowing that usually, the Boss maintained a casual demeanor, but now suddenly frowned, suggesting there was something unusual.

"This matter isn’t that simple. Didn’t you notice something odd about these bodies?" Lin Feng seriously asked the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon.

"Odd? Old Black and I didn’t notice anything odd," replied the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon, thoroughly confused by Lin Feng’s words. What did he mean by odd? He and the Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger had examined these bodies. They were all external injuries with no signs of battle with other demon beasts. What oddity is there?

"Indeed, we didn’t find any oddities," the Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger echoed, still perplexed. They didn’t find anything odd, so why was Lin Feng saying this? Could there really be something he and the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon missed?

Hearing the two Great Demon Immortals, Lin Feng shook his head and appeared beside a demon beast. Pointing to a wound on its neck, he said to the two Great Demon Immortals, "Look at this wound. Do you notice anything?"

Hearing Lin Feng, the two Great Demon Immortals immediately went beside the demon beast, carefully examining the wound. The wound was like one caused by a sword, piercing through the demon beast’s neck. The blood around the wound had already dried, blackened in patches, while the muscle at the wound was also turned outwards, appearing as black lumps.

Previously, they assumed such a wound was obviously caused by a stab, but now that Lin Feng mentioned there was something wrong, they examined it more thoroughly. In doing so, they removed the dried blood clot, revealing the true condition. Seeing the actual wound state, they were both stunned!

Indeed the wound was due to a sword, but what was bizarre were the scorch marks on it. Earlier, the dried blood clot covered it, but now they could see it clearly. This wound was definitely not just a simple sword wound! However, how the wound came to be and what actually caused it, they couldn’t explain. Just then, Lin Feng’s voice rang out again.
