There is a new Emperor Yan coming to Ma Qi Continent

"These bones...could they be……"Xiao Yan was shocked. He remembered a rumor: the mercenary group in Qingshan Town would carry some small identification items with them. These objects usually have two characteristics: first, they are difficult to imitate and are strictly protected against counterfeiting; second, they are easy to carry and can be displayed at any time.

From both perspectives, these bone fragments fit the bill. But judging from the location of these bone fragments and the death conditions of these people, it seems that the perpetrators did not give them a chance to show these bone fragments, or perhaps......This was done by an acquaintance, and he didn't even realize that he had to reveal these bone fragments before he died!

No matter what the situation is, reason tells Xiao Yan that these people have secrets. Otherwise, it would be impossible for people to die here in droves.

This is just the outskirts of the Warcraft Mountains. The Warcraft are basically first-order Warcraft, and there are very few second-order Warcraft. It is understandable that one or two lone warriors would hate this. If an entire team is almost wiped out here, then it is definitely another place. There is something hidden.

Among the many bone fragments, Xiao Yan's eyes were attracted by a strangely shaped bone. This bone is engraved with some strange symbols, which are intricately intertwined and seem to tell an ancient story. Although Xiao Yan couldn't understand what these symbols meant, he could feel that this bone seemed to contain a powerful force, which made people feel awe.

Xiao Yan counted carefully and found that there were actually twelve bone fragments, and there were only eleven corpses here. This made him make a bold guess: Are there survivors?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan endured the discomfort and continued to search these corpses, hoping to find more clues. He examines each body one by one, hoping to find information about the survivors. However, he did not find anything of value except for the fighting skill - the snake-shaped swordsmanship.

The Snake Sword Technique at this time was a shabby book, and the writing on the cover was blurred, but Xiao Yan could still feel the powerful aura it exuded. He carefully opened the pages of the book and saw a set of exquisite swordsmanship recorded on it. Each move was like a vigorous snake dancing, which was breathtaking.

In a daze, Xiao Yan remembered that Xiao Zhan had mentioned to him that this was an entry-level fighting skill for the Snake Nest Mercenary Group. Although it was only a high-level yellow-level skill, it was very practical!

Are these corpses all members of the Snake Nest Mercenary Group? This thought flashed through Xiao Yan's mind.

He knows that this mercenary group is one of the three major mercenary groups in Qingshan Town. Its main job is to collect elixirs. It has abundant personnel and strong combat effectiveness. More importantly, this mercenary group is a long-term strategic cooperation of the Xiao family. partner.

It is said that nine out of ten elixirs sold in Xiaojiafang City are supplied by the Snake Nest Mercenary Group.

Seeing the miserable condition of these people and the recent turmoil of the Xiao family, Xiao Yan seemed to think of something.

He squatted down and gently pressed the corpse's arm with his fingers, feeling the hardness of the muscles. As the time of death prolongs, the muscles will gradually become stiffer, and this degree of stiffness can be used as one of the basis for judging the time of death. He continued to press other parts of the body, such as legs, chest, etc., carefully observing their changes in hardness.

Then, he gently touched the skin of the corpse with his fingers, feeling the temperature of the skin. As the time of death increases, the temperature of the body gradually decreases, eventually approaching ambient temperature. He touched different parts of the body with his fingers and compared the temperature differences between them.

In addition to the body spots and degree of stiffness, Xiao Yan also noticed other features on the corpse. He looked closely at the corpse's fingernails and saw that they had become pale and dry. This is due to the cessation of blood circulation after death, resulting in the blood in the nails not receiving sufficient oxygen supply, and thus turning white. He also noticed the corpse's eyes and found that they had become cloudy and lifeless. This is due to the cessation of nerve function in the eye after death, resulting in the pupil being unable to respond to light.

To sum up, according to Xiao Yan's preliminary judgment, these people died at least for more than seven days.

Seven or eight days ago, what day was it?......

Suddenly, when Xiao Yan was deep in thought, he suddenly smelled a thin smell of blood. When he took his hand back, he saw some bright red blood on his palm, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
