Chapter 249 The Appearance of an Evil Soul Master.
"What a strong stench of blood!"
Xuan Mo hurried towards the dense forest, and even before reaching a kilometer away, he could smell the overwhelming stench of blood.
When he entered the forest, although he hadn't yet seen anyone, the scene before him shocked him.
The ancient trees and the blood-stained ground showed just how brutal the carnage that had taken place there was. Even on some branches hung viscera like intestines, emitting a nauseating stench.
Seeing this scene, Xuan Mo wasn't too badly affected. After all, during his training with Ma Hongjun, he had witnessed his share of carnage and could adapt.
"This looks like… human organs and hair."
Xuan Mo suppressed his nausea, broke off a relatively clean branch, and examined it, discovering this infuriating sight.
If it were a revenge killing, Xuan Mo wouldn't be so angry, but judging from the sheer number of corpses and the aura emanating from them, these victims were all ordinary people.
To be honest, Xuanmo wasn't some saint, but as a human being, aside from unavoidable events like war, anyone who witnessed so many civilians being brutally murdered would find it unbearable; it was an unforgivable crime.
Sensing the stench of blood and the faint fluctuations of soul power, Xuanmo chose a direction and chased after them. He knew these guys had just left. Less than half an incense stick's time later, Xuanmo saw a dense group of figures ahead, the ground littered with corpses, and the cries of humans echoing through the air.
Seeing this, Xuanmo didn't rush to attack.
He then crept along the side of the forest. He gradually made out the figures; they weren't human.
There were about a hundred of them, all extremely robust, each over two meters tall with a sturdy physique.
Their hair was gray, their bodies covered in thick body hair, making them look like savages. Their lips protruded, revealing canines several times larger than those of ordinary people, and their faces were painted with dazzling oil paint.
"Good heavens, they're wolf bandits."
Xuan Mo's gaze sharpened as he surveyed the group. A hundred wolf bandits must have a leader, like a wolf king.
However, as Xuan Mo scanned the group, he couldn't find the leader.
"What's going on? Where's the leader of these beasts?"
Xuan Mo concealed his aura, crouching behind a large rock a hundred meters away, muttering in confusion.
Just then, "Hehehe! Well done, kids!"
Hearing a human voice, Xuan Mo immediately peeked out from behind the rock, finding a human draped in a black robe emblazoned with skulls, standing in the center of the wolf bandits, shouting.
"This guy is…"
"Such an evil aura."
At the same time, the voice of the Ice and Fire Dragon King rang out.
"Boy, the aura this human gives us feels even more evil than the Human-Faced Demon Spider among the Soul Beasts, and it's almost as strong as the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger."
"Hmm! This human Soul Master is an Evil Soul Master."
Xuan Mo's gaze was fixed on the black-robed man, his fists clenching involuntarily, but he didn't rush to attack. After all, his pack of wolf bandits was numerous and powerful, and according to his perception, the black-robed man's cultivation was not weak either; he wouldn't act rashly.
"Looks like I need to think of a way."
Xuan Mo's body sank, and he moved in another direction…
At the same time, the Evil Soul Master was standing in the center of the wolf bandits, and at his feet was an altar covered with patterns.
"Hehehe! My darlings, you've done a good job. Now prepare to slaughter to your heart's content! Use the blood of these commoners to stain the patterns on this altar red, and fulfill the master's orders!"
"Awoo! Awoo!"
As the Evil Soul Master's words fell, the wolf bandits lit up their abnormally blood-red eyes and let out a wolf howl of joy.
Besides the numerous civilians bound to the ground, trembling and some even unconscious, hanging from the branches of the ancient tree closest to the wolf bandits were over a dozen human skins. Seven or eight infant corpses, pierced and suspended from a thick branch, dripped blood.
As the wolf bandits continued their slaughter, amidst their howls, the cries of the civilians, and the laughter of the evil spirit master, the number of civilian corpses on the ground grew ever larger. Some bandits, for their own amusement, even let civilians escape, chasing them down and torturing them after they had run a hundred meters. As some civilians ran, they could see that further into the dense forest, human skins continued to hang from the ancient tree branches—no fewer than five hundred, some even dried out.
The evil spirit master coldly watched all this, utterly indifferent to the civilians' cries, only focusing on the blood of the slaughtered civilians, which continuously gathered at the altar, filling the empty grooves and patterns on it.
"Almost there, almost there! Hehehe!"
The evil spirit master stared at the altar with fanaticism. "Just a little more. Once I slaughter these five hundred civilians, the altar will have enough energy, and I can complete the task assigned by my master and return to my original continent."
Just then, "Boom!"
A loud explosion suddenly rang out not far away, directly shattering the evil spirit master's fantasy.
"Who is it?!"
A sharp, long howl erupted from the evil soul master's throat. "Who dares to trespass here! Are they trying to ruin my grand plan?! Or do they dare to oppose me! That good-for-nothing Scorpion Tiger doesn't even report the slightest movement!"
Interrupted, the evil soul master's pale face instantly ignited with rage. As if without a brain, after his fierce howl, he didn't send out any wolf bandits to investigate. He simply assigned a few more wolf bandits to guard the remaining civilians and then led the rest of the wolf bandits to attack the direction from which the sound came.
This evil soul master had to ensure that there were no survivors within a radius of several kilometers!
At the same time.
Xuan Mo left the dense forest, and after setting up his fifth soul skill, "Viper Dragon Devouring Domain," the poison of the domain was detected by them, so they came to the desolate land on the outskirts of the dense forest. After doing all this, Xuan Mo himself hid behind a boulder, concealing his figure with this domain skill and setting up various methods.
He had already planned to lure those wolf bandits and that evil soul master here, and then ensure that these creatures, who shouldn't even exist on the continent, would never return...
