Chapter 19: Disappearing Internal Organs (Please read on~~~)

The mud house was charred black by the flames, the beams had been burned to ashes, and the air was filled with a sickening, pungent smell of coke.

Amid the ruins, there were corpses all over the ground. Dark red bloodstains covered the ground. The scene was like purgatory on earth. Even the battle-hardened veterans in the team were stunned.

Wu Fengdeng's pupils trembled slightly, and he forced himself to suppress the throbbing in his heart and dismounted from his horse.

"Spread out and look for any survivors."

At his command, the others dispersed, and Qiao Li followed behind him.

He walked slowly to the nearest corpse, half squatting down while enduring the unpleasant stench.

He looked like a robust young man, with wide eyes, distorted facial features, and bite wounds on his lips, as if he had suffered severe torture before dying.

"He died with his eyes open. This is a very bad omen."

Qiao Li swallowed, and a hint of fear suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Wu Fengdeng was also afraid when seeing the corpse with such a tragic death, but he still forced himself to move his eyes downwards.

The hideous wound on his torso suddenly cheered him up.

The wound extended from the chest to the belly button, opening the body and exposing the frozen intestines.

But the chest cavity was empty!

"All the internal organs are gone. This is... vivisection."

Wu Fengdeng pursed his lips and breathed rapidly.

It would be fine if those bandits just killed people and robbed them of their money, but why did they also go so far as to rip out their internal organs?

Is there organ transplantation here too?
Wu Fengdeng stood up and hurriedly checked the corpses around him. Without exception, their eyes were bruised and their internal organs had been disemboweled.

This applies to the elderly, children, and the middle-aged.

"It seems that these bandits slaughtered all the villagers just for their internal organs. With such a huge demand, could it be that they are performing some kind of sacrifice?"

"Brother Wu! Brother Wu!"

Just when Wu Fengdeng was puzzled, Qiao Li suddenly rushed out from a dilapidated house.

He was holding a few strings of copper coins and some silver bracelets, and he said in amazement, "These valuables are in the water tank inside, and they have not been taken away by the bandits!"

"Is it hidden well?"

"No, no, it's easy to find! There is also some unburned food in the house. I looked and it's all edible!"

Hearing this, Wu Fengdeng's face became even more serious, and a strange intuition made him shudder.

Not only him, but several people around him also made the same discovery. All the food and property in the village were still there and had not been stolen.

"Brother Wu, if this group of thieves is robbing a house, why do they only kill people and not rob them of their property?"

Qiao Li looked puzzled and confused.

Wu Fengdeng gathered everyone together and said in a deep voice: "The body's internal organs are missing, and they were forcibly dissected alive. I think they came here specifically for the villagers' internal organs."

"They might be using these organs for sacrifice, or to perform some strange and evil magic. No matter which one it is, this group of people are not ordinary bandits."

"Yes, you young ones haven't been on the battlefield many times. I met such people a few years ago."

At this time, an experienced middle-aged soldier took over the conversation.

"They are also warriors, but their training methods are very strange. Some can control corpses and make them immortal puppets, and some can manipulate the enemy's mind from a distance, causing them to kill each other."

"There are many different methods of cultivation in the world, and some of them use living sacrifices or cruel methods to practice."

His words undoubtedly made the already cold atmosphere even more solemn.

Wu Fengdeng thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, let's have a few people go back and explain the situation to General Wang, and the rest of us look around for any traces of the bandits' escape."

This group of people was undoubtedly more dangerous than the bandits, and they were no longer within their reach. To be cautious, they had to report to Wang Hu in a timely manner. He then selected three people and immediately set off to return to Guyang County, and then searched for the thieves around the village with others.

Fortunately, it was snowing, and horse hoof prints and bloodstains were faintly visible on the ground. They quickly locked onto several locations.

Ah!
However, at this moment, a scream suddenly came from the east, followed by the painful neighing of a warhorse.

Wu Fengdeng subconsciously clenched his spear and turned around, only to see a man fall heavily to the ground, blood spreading on the ground like a red ink ball.

"Enemy! Enemy!"

He quickly got up from the ground.

Bang bang bang~
In an instant, a large mass of internal organs fell to the ground, still squirming subconsciously.

The man froze in place, and when he looked down he saw the white bones in his chest and his hollowed-out chest cavity.

"Prepare to defend against the enemy!"

Wu Fengdeng shouted loudly, and the surrounding soldiers quickly came closer.

Swish!

Swords were unsheathed, and cold light filled the air.

giggle~
Suddenly, I heard a few strange noises that sounded like coughing or laughing.

I saw a hunchbacked old man with a cane walking out of the snow and fog. He was wearing a brown linen shirt that was so tattered that he looked like a beggar.

The oddly shaped cane in his hand was two meters tall and covered with barbs. Blood was constantly oozing down from the tip, flowing along the lines onto his dry palm.

Slip!

The old man stretched out his ugly tongue and licked it clean bit by bit, and his skinny face suddenly glowed with enjoyment as if spring breeze had come over him.

"The blood of warriors is still the best to drink. It is rich in energy and blood, and is much more delicious than these lowly people."

He looked at everyone with his eagle-like sharp eyes and smiled deeply.

"There are so many people here. We can finally have a good meal today."

Huh~!

As he blew the whistle, Wu Fengdeng immediately realized that something was moving quickly around him, and there was also a faint low roar.

"Who are you?"

Wu Fengdeng asked in a low voice with a serious expression on his face.

The old man staggered forward with his cane, laughing, "You are quite courageous, little kid. Don't cry when I eat you later!"

Roar!
Roars came one after another around them, and then six or seven hunched-over men jumped out and surrounded everyone.

They were all human beings, but they bent their bodies like wild beasts. They were all skinny and wore eye masks. Their noses kept twitching and saliva oozed from their mouths. They looked extremely horrifying.

"Don't fight too long, just break out and retreat on horseback!"

Wu Fengdeng was not sure about the specific strength of the people around him and the old man, but he just ripped open the soldier's stomach with just one move, so it seemed that the old man's cultivation was at least in the late stage of skin refining.

And these weird people around seem to be very difficult to deal with.

call!
Suddenly, a sharp gust of wind blew, and the sharp spikes of the cane were reflected in Wu Fengdeng's dark pupils, rapidly enlarging.

"Brother Wu, be careful!"

puff~
The sharp spike as a knife instantly hovered in the air.

Just as everyone was looking at themselves in shock, they saw Wu Fengdeng grasping the crutch with his hand, and scarlet blood was flowing down his arm.

 After checking historical materials, the country's name was changed to "Wei"
