Chapter 858 Lost Tracks
Li Xixi's words made Yan Zhen beside her extremely anxious: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could the information provided by the authoritative agency of the underworld be false?"
Seeing Yan Zhen’s face turned red with anxiety, Li Xixi shook her head speechlessly.
"Why are you so excited? Isn't this just my guess?"
Yan Zhen was not convinced: "You can't make endless guesses."
Seeing Yan Zhen's quarreling posture, Li Xixi produced her own evidence.
"The reason I speculate that the information provided by the underworld may be false is because the underworld does not truly control this place."
"So where did you get the information that the fragments of the Broken Soul Monument are inside this Life and Death Cliff?"
"This, this..." This time, Yan Zhen had nothing to say.
Hearing the two people bickering, Chen Yile couldn't help but feel confused.
In theory, this news was provided to me by King Chujiang, so it couldn't be false.
But he felt that Li Xixi's analysis was correct. The underworld had not yet completely controlled this place, so how did it know that the fragments of the Soul-Breaking Monument were here?
Chen Yile looked at Li Xixi with a wry smile.
"Now you decide what we should do."
Li Xixi was not polite either: "My idea is, although I now question the authenticity of the information provided by my father, since we are here, we should spare no effort to search everywhere here."
"Next, we'll conduct a comprehensive search. If the fragments of the Broken Soul Monument are indeed here, we must obtain them. Of course, we must also be extra careful during this process..."
Hearing Li Xixi's analysis, Chen Yile nodded approvingly.
"Your analysis is correct. In fact, there is another point that can also prove that the ancient demon beast lied. That is, our weapons at the door cannot be brought in at all..."
"Right, right." Li Xixi breathed rapidly. "Just now, I had a feeling that there was something I hadn't remembered. This little bit of evidence proves that the ancient demon beast might have lied to us out of a sense of shame."
"However, we can't completely believe what they say. Now that we've eliminated the monster, our main task is to continue searching for the fragments of the Soul-Breaking Monument..."
"Ah, no way, what's going on?"
While Chen Yile was talking to Li Xixi, Yan Zhen, who was standing beside him, suddenly screamed.
Li Xixi was very dissatisfied with the interruption of their conversation.
"Yan Zhen, I think you did it on purpose."
Seeing Li Xixi's face full of blame, Yan Zhen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"After all, I'm a grown man. I can't be so petty."
But Li Xixi refused to give in: "People's hearts are hidden, and their actions are unknown to each other. So who knows if you did it on purpose?"
"You're a grown man, but you speak so jumpily. I think you're deliberately interrupting my conversation with Chen Yile."
But at this moment, Yan Zhen was also anxious: "I really don't mean to disturb you. I am surprised that the corpse that was here just now has disappeared."
"What? The corpse on the ground just now has disappeared?"
Li Xixi turned around in surprise and looked behind her. After taking a look, she was also shocked: "Strange, it's not what happened, the body is really gone."
Of course Chen Yile also saw this scene, but he felt that it was not abnormal.
Before, in the Red Mansion, they encountered a large number of skeletons. The souls of these skeletons were sealed in the body of Hu Li. This resulted in their souls being unable to leave their bodies after they died, and they became living dead.
Maybe the skeleton they saw just now was in the same situation.
It seems that Li Xixi also thought so, which is why she blamed Yan Zhen.
No matter what, the other party is a guard under the King of Hell and a staff member of the underworld.
"It's nothing surprising that a skeleton is walking. Why are you making such a fuss?"
Seeing Li Xixi's face full of blame, Yan Zhen was also depressed.
"Miss Li, I'm curious. The three of us were at the scene. When did the body leave?"
"We three experts didn't even hear a single sound. Do you think this is normal?"
Yan Zhen's reminder surprised not only Li Xixi but also Chen Yile.
Just now, neither he nor Li Xixi thought about it in this direction, but now after Yan Zhen reminded him, he felt that it was indeed the case.
"With the three of us, if the opponent's soul was sealed inside his body, we would have seen it when we examined his body just now."
"Did you realize this at the time?"
Hearing Chen Yile's question, Li Xixi shook her head.
"Just now, I didn't sense the presence of a ghost from this corpse, but this is weird. A corpse without a soul can leave on its own. This is really a fairy tale."
Chen Yile shook his head. "We can't confirm this right now. We were a little surprised when we saw the body just now, but we didn't examine it carefully. Maybe we were negligent."
"Plus, the other party has relevant means, so they deceived us."
Yan Zhen, who was standing aside, nodded thoughtfully.
"Yile, if you say so, I think it makes sense."
"In fact, with our abilities, if a soul is sealed inside a corpse, any one of us would be able to sense it without any special means of detection."
"But just now, none of us three noticed this. This means that this skeleton may have used some kind of magic to prevent us from observing its soul, which is why we were deceived..."
shhhhh--
There were footsteps all around. It turned out that Li Xixi was already looking everywhere impatiently.
Seeing Chen Yile and the others looking at her, Li Xixi curled her lips at them.
"It's better to take direct action than to analyze it all."
"There are piles of sand everywhere. Let's follow the other party's footprints and maybe we can find their traces."
Yan Zhen nodded: "Li Xixi, you are really impressive. When did you become so smart..."
Seeing Yan Zhen teasing her, Li Xixi glared at him fiercely, then turned her head back, staring at the footprints on the sand pile, and looked for them.
Finally, the three men found themselves next to a large rock.
But what surprised them was that when they reached the rock, the footprints in the sand had completely disappeared.
The three of them looked at each other, and almost at the same time, they looked up.
