Are you crazy? Who asked you to hunt for treasures in the emperor's harem?

Chapter 365: A Strange Corpse Without a Smell

"Big brother, what are those? Two big red lanterns?"

As the huge figure twisted, two large red oval balls appeared in the three people's field of vision, and Liu Mengying couldn't help but mutter.

"It should be some kind of monster in the swamp. There are many monsters in this swamp! Maybe the fight just now attracted other monsters!"

Lei Yu looked quite nervous at first, but he soon relaxed because of Liu Mengying's move just now, and also because there was Ye Fan, whose strength was unfathomable, standing next to him.

“Crash! Crash!”

After another round of splashing water and moving sounds, Ye Fan and the other two finally saw what the huge figure was.

"Oh my god...it's another red-eyed iron-scaled anaconda!"

Seeing the familiar figure not far ahead, Ye Fan couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Big brother, it's not going to eat us, is it?"

Liu Mengying looked alert. After all, it was not the first time she had seen the red-eyed iron-scaled anaconda eat people... Although they always ate corpses... In Black Water Town, they even knew how to roast the meat before eating it...

Just as Liu Mengying was recalling what happened to the red-eyed iron-scaled anaconda in Blackwater Town, the red-eyed iron-scaled anaconda stared at Ye Fan for a while, and then began to eat the corpses of the bloodthirsty bats on the ground...

"It's not coming for us..."

Seeing this, Liu Mengying breathed a sigh of relief.

What surprised Ye Fan was that Lei Yu actually started to move around, picking up some corpses of bloodthirsty bats on the ground and putting them into the Naxuan Ring.

"Lei Yu, what are you doing?"

Ye Fan was quite surprised, "You don't want to eat the meat of the bloodthirsty bat too?"

"Ahem~ Exactly!"

Lei Yu nodded slightly, "Ye Fan, the meat of this bloodthirsty bat contains a small amount of Xuan Qi, which is a rare delicacy and is very popular among Xuan practitioners below the general level. In addition, because bloodthirsty bats are in this extremely remote swamp, it is difficult to obtain them, so the dried meat of bloodthirsty bats has the reputation of 'spiritual meat' and can be sold at a very high price outside!"

As he spoke, Lei Yu used the dagger in his hand to cut a piece of blood-thirsty bat meat that looked very good due to Liu Mengying's flame attack and handed it to Ye Fan.

"Uh, no... I have no appetite!"

Ye Fan smelled the stench that came from the surroundings from time to time and had no appetite at all. He just wanted to get out of the swamp as soon as possible.

Lei Yu didn't force it. He put the piece of cut bat meat into his mouth and started eating it happily.

"Hey, snake, how about giving us a ride now that you're full?"

At this time, Ye Fan tentatively spoke to the red-eyed iron-scaled anaconda that was eating the bloodthirsty bat barbecue in big mouthfuls.

Hearing Ye Fan's words, Liu Mengying and Ye Fan both showed surprised expressions, and what surprised them even more was that the red-eyed iron-scaled anaconda, which was originally concentrating on eating the bloodthirsty bat meat, actually stopped chewing, turned to look at Ye Fan, and nodded.

"Big...Big brother, that red-eyed iron-scaled anaconda can understand human language~!"

Liu Mengying looked surprised.

"Wow... so magical... Although I've heard that some animals have some intelligence... but this is the first time I've seen one that can understand human language..."

The thunderstorm was shocking.

Soon, the red-eyed iron-scaled anaconda had eaten most of the bloodthirsty bat meat in the surrounding swamps. It stood up, raised its head and twisted its body forward in one direction, while Ye Fan, Liu Mengying and Lei Yu were sitting at the position of the snake's head.

..........

A ray of red light appeared in the distant sky, and the red-eyed iron-scaled anaconda, which had been traveling quickly all night, also slowed down.

"Big snake, stop!"

Ye Fan looked around and patted the red-eyed iron-scaled anaconda's head. Then, he woke up Liu Mengying who was sleeping on his back, "Little Bean Sprout, it seems that there has just been a heavy rain here. The air is relatively fresh. Let's stop and have breakfast!"

"Oh, okay~"

Liu Mengying opened her eyes in a daze, and the red-eyed iron-scaled anaconda happened to stop at this moment.

Soon, Ye Fan, Liu Mengying, and Lei Yu found a reef and stood on it to eat their dry food, while the red-eyed iron-scaled anaconda ran away and writhed in the muddy water...

"Lei Yu, do you recognize those corpses?"

While eating mung bean cakes, Ye Fan looked at Lei Yu with an inquiring look, because at this moment Lei Yu was looking at several rotten corpses floating over from a distance, and his expression was a little sad.

"Ok!"

Lei Yu nodded, "Ye Fan, those four bodies were the guards who were escorting the Xuanqi Stone. The one on the far left came from Blackwater Town like me... Although we are prisoners, these guards are not bad people. As long as we work hard and don't cheat, they won't make things difficult for us... More than half a month ago, we were still talking and laughing..."

"Ye Fan, most of the bodies over there are prisoners... and people hired by business travelers..."

Lei Yu saw Ye Fan looking ahead at a considerable distance and seeing dozens of floating and scattered corpses, and immediately explained.

"There are so many dead people in this swamp... Let's eat quickly, or we'll lose our appetite if corpses float over..."

Ye Fan frowned slightly and quickly ate the mung bean cake and beef jerky in his hand. Liu Mengying also quickened her eating pace.

Due to the flapping of the huge body of the red-eyed iron-scaled anaconda, the black water in the swamp continued to surge, and soon, a large number of corpses that had rotted to the point of white bones floated over. Liu Mengying frowned immediately and put the half-eaten mung bean cake into her Naxuan Ring. Ye Fan had finished eating long ago, but Lei Yu was still chewing slowly, obviously he had long been accustomed to eating in a smelly place.

“Big brother…”

Liu Mengying looked puzzled, "Big brother... is there something wrong with my nose? Why... I don't seem to smell the stench of a corpse..."

“I didn’t smell it either!”

Ye Fan frowned and immediately walked towards the large number of rotting corpses. When the rotting corpses almost touched his legs, he still did not smell the stench.

Ye Fan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lei Yu, "Lei Yu, what happened to these prisoners and the guards who were transporting the Xuan Qi Stone? How come their rotting bodies don't have any odor at all?"

“This…seems to really be…”

Lei Yu walked up to Ye Fan and said, "From the way they are dressed and their physical features, these people are definitely the prisoners who transported the Xuanqi Stone with me in the previous batches... Logically speaking, the bodies must have been rotten like this and smelled terrible... But there is not a single odor..."

Lei Yu sniffed hard, his eyes full of confusion, "As for the guards...they eat and drink much better than us, maybe it's because they eat something else...but those prisoners eat and drink the same as me...it's really weird!"

"Ugh, it stinks!"

At this time, Liu Mengying ran away from the reef and pointed in a direction, "Brother, the corpse floating over there stinks!"
