Xu Zimei nodded slightly without saying much, seeing how perceptively they acted.
Everything inside was unknown, and he couldn't possibly protect them like a babysitter. If that were the case, he might as well let them stay outside.
"The problem now is, do we let them discover us?" Nine Snake True Man asked.
"We disguise ourselves as lost travelers, just say we lost our way. They will definitely take action.
That's what I did before," said the Moon God.
Everyone nodded.
These people below transporting corpses are probably bloodthirsty, ferocious characters.
Ordinary people simply can't do this kind of work.
They kill wantonly without considering the consequences.
Xu Zimei and the other three made brief preparations.
They took out four plain hemp garments, looking like a family in distress.
The Moon God deliberately altered his facial features to appear extremely ugly.
Otherwise, those people might have bad intentions.
After confirming everything was fine, the four of them slowly walked toward the village.
The closer they got to the village, the more the thick scent of blood seemed to rush straight to their noses.
On the ground of this village, almost forming scabs, appeared extremely brutal.
Old Sun supported Xu Zimei.
The four of them had walked about a hundred meters and had not yet entered the village when they were discovered by hidden scouts around them.
"Who goes there?"
With a soft shout.
Suddenly, more than a dozen people surrounded Xu Zimei and the others.
These ten or so people wielded large machetes, each with bulging muscles.
Seeing them, Nine Snake True Man hurried forward and said, "We are a family of four fleeing famine, lost our way here.
Good people, do you have food? We've been hungry for three days and nights."
"Lost?" The man in the middle looked them over and then laughed.
"Well, you're in luck; I happen to have a way to ease your hunger."
The man spoke as he slowly approached.
Nine Snake True Man seemed unaware and hurriedly laughed, "We've met kind people, thank you all."
"No need to thank," while speaking, the man suddenly attacked, swinging his machete directly over.
Laughing loudly, he said, "Since you're hungry, then die; once dead, you won't be hungry anymore."
With a "boom" sound.
A machete pierced directly through Nine Snake True Man's abdomen, spinning a few times inside.
And as the man acted, the other men around also moved in immediately, almost acting simultaneously.
They hacked Xu Zimei and the others to death with chaotic slashes.
Seeing them so utterly dead, a few men laughed and said, "I thought they were something, just a few refugees looking for death."
In fact, these spies' daily task is to watch the surroundings.
Not letting anyone enter here.
So every time someone shows up, they remain particularly alert to avert accidents.
It turned out to be a false alarm.
The leading man said, "Drag their bodies into the village; we happen to need more corpses."
"Boss, have they started pressing again recently?" someone beside him asked.
"Don't we ship at least a thousand corpses every month?"
"The experiments need more and more, but the more they want, the more they give," the boss responded.
"But we're almost out of people to kill around this border," the subordinate said.
"I feel like bargaining with a tiger, so worrying."
"You're such a coward; I'm the boss and not afraid, what are you afraid of?"
The boss smacked the subordinate's head harshly.
He said calmly, "Seek wealth amidst risks; such a lucrative deal is once in a lifetime.
If there are no more people at the border, expand the scope southward."
"There are more people to the south, but what if we're discovered?" the subordinate inquired.
"You don't understand; that lord said nowadays, in the Catastrophe Demon Domain, anyone can be killed, just make sure you're not discovered," the boss said.
...
The bodies of Xu Zimei and the others were carried into the village.
They were placed separately.
Upon entering the village, Xu Zimei noticed that every room in the village was piled with corpses.
Some people carried corpses back from outside, while others transported them northward.
These people were not afraid of a plague.
Xu Zimei had a high tolerance level; if an ordinary person came here, they might vomit to death directly.
...
After being brought here, some people carried Xu Zimei away, without even stopping, hurrying to the north.
It was clear they were indeed short of corpses.
Although the Great Wall to the north blocked the way, there seemed to be gates every few kilometers.
And there were probably over a dozen such villages supplying corpses, who knows how many people died daily.
Even though Xu Zimei didn't open his eyes, under the perception of the Divine Soul, everything nearby was clear to him.
And unless someone had similar strength to him, discovering his Divine Soul would be difficult for ordinary people.
When he was pushed to the city gate, those guarding it were people from the Holy Court.
They examined both the bodies and the people transporting them.
The man transporting the bodies laughed, "Sir, we all have Life and Death Seals within us.
It's impossible to impersonate; if the seal breaks, you'll definitely know immediately."
"Caution is warranted," the inspector replied.
"Alright, no problem, go in.
Remember the old rules, if you roam around, no one can save you."
The body transporters quickly nodded and bowed.
When dealing with ordinary people, they were executioners, life was as insignificant as straw.
Yet facing the Holy Court, they were like dogs.
After all, the Holy Court was even more ruthless and ferocious than them.
The massive door in front opened.
Inside the hefty door was an endless plain.
However, this plain wasn't barren; on the contrary, there were countless mechanical creatures in activity here.
These mechanical creatures reminded Xu Zimei of Gongsun Muya.
In Gongsun Muya's field of technology, there was mechanics.
From his perspective, mechanics was the most basic, simple, and effective combat force.
The mechanical products in front of him seemed somewhat cumbersome, indicating the creators' skills were inferior to Gongsun Muya's.
But they served their purpose, merely servicing patrols and ensuring the surrounding security.
Apart from these mechanical beings, there were many laboratories in this northern place.
Xu Zimei wasn't very familiar with laboratories but could sense that some of them emitted Demonic Qi.
Of course, it was purely Demonic Qi and not creatures of the Demon Race.
"Are they researching Demonic Qi?" This puzzled Xu Zimei.
But he didn't act rashly. At this moment, finding the other half of the Third-Eye Demon Monarch's Divine Soul was most critical.
Xu Zimei expanded the range of his Divine Soul once again.
