Chapter 2334  Confirmed Traces Of Strangers

While Daoist Chu continued to fiddle with the Tracking tool, the rest of the group went into the Offering Hall to check why the Cyclopean Chimeric Beast was sticking so close to it.

After all this was the reason why they had come this far in addition to seeing what was inside the Offering Hall. They had been wondering if there were difference in the two Offering halls, and if so, what they could be.

~step~step~step~

Upon entering their immortal senses scanned everything, while their eyes darted around. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Hmm… looks to be the same." Lin Mu said finding things to be an almost mirror image of the first Offering Hall.

"Other than the damage and weathering, the rest is indeed the same." Lady Kang was a bit surprised.

"Still, to early to say that, lets see what else is inside there." Elder Hu reminded them.

"Yeah." Lin Mu said as they went past the murals and entered the main hall where the reward list was supposed to be.

And as soon as they got one look at it, they froze in place.

"This… is definitely different." Lin Mu took a breath.

"A camp?" Crown Princess Shang said seeing the things lying around.

There were beddings, stools, and a few tables present along with other things one might see in a makeshift camp. There was even a formation powered stove that had been set up which was not something one might bring to camp usually.

"There was someone here." Lady Kang said right away.

"Not just someone… There were several strangers here." Lin Mu said seeing the multiple beds that had been made. ~SNIFF~

But that wasn't all as the beast among them sensed more things.

"Blood…" Little Shrubby spoke. "Someone bled here." He informed Lin Mu.

The man quickly checked up on the information and saw several traces of dried blood. Not only were they on the ground, but also covered several of the beddings. "This is an emergency camp set to treat the injured." Lin Mu revealed. Hearing that the group narrowed their eyes as it confirmed that they weren't the only ones in the Spatial Plane now. "How old are these traces?" Elder Hu questioned.

"At least four to three months old." Lin Mu turned to Little Shrubby and got the answer.

The answer was surprising to the group as they knew going out at that time was impossible.

"Doesn't that mean… There was no Death Qi in this area?" Min Ju questioned.

"Considering the time line, there is a chance the Death Qi had already retreated from this part back then." Ziran said after thinking for a bit. "When I had checked, we were already close to the time of it fading. So it is highly probable that this area of the Spatial Plane was already clear of it." The group got to thinking about who they could be and checked more of the hall, wanting to see if they missed. Lin Mu asked little Shrubby to see if he could smell anything particular here other than the scent of blood and got a few answers.

"There's the smell of pills as well as something else… I don't know what the latter is though." Little Shrubby answered.

Lin Mu thought about it for a bit before telling the others.

"Smell of pills?" Crown Prince Feng Shun thought of something hearing that. "Could those have been the pills that were missing from the list?" he suggested.

"That is possible…" Lin Mu furrowed his brows. "How can we confirm it though?" Qiao De asked. "It could have been other pills too." He added.

"Among the pills, there were few that were used to restore Dark Elemental immortal Qi right?" Monk Hushu spoke at this time. "If we can confirm the traces of that here, perhaps we can verify it was the same people." Hearing that Lin Mu had an idea and knew how to do it.

While no one among the group might be able to sense the traces of Dark element due to it being too long, that didn't mean that there wasn't someone else.

"Xiao Yin, Xiao Yang." He called out the twins.

~HISS~ HISS~

The twins coiled around Lin Mu's arms and cursorily looked at the scene. They then received the instructions from Lin Mu and started sensing the entire place.

Their affinities allowed them to sense the finer details that the others would miss and quickly discovered the secrets.

"There is dark elemental traces here." The twins confirmed.

~SHUA~

Xiao Yin opened her mouth and sucked the air, causing a few small wisps of darkness to gather. These had been far too minute for anyone to sense, but for Xiao Yin who had a great affinity to the Yin, this was nothing.

"That's Dark Elemental immortal Qi for sure." Ziran said right away. "So they were indeed here." Crown Prince Feng Shun narrowed his eyes.

"Was it Dark energy that you smelled Little Shrubby?" Lin Mu asked, knowing that there was still one more thing left unsolved.

"No it wasn't." Little Shrubby shook his head.

"Hmm… so there's still something more." Lin Mu muttered. "Can you two see if you smell it too?" he asked.

~HISS~ HISS~

The twins responded quickly and dared around the entire all, trying to find it. "There is a scent… but it's almost gone." Xiao Yang replied. "There is a trail though… it's going outside." Xiao Yin added.

"Oh?" Hearing that Lin Mu's hears perked up. "Let's go see it then." He said before moving.

The others followed and they soon arrived outside where Daoist Chu was still fiddling with the Tracking tool.

"There," Xiao Yin pointed at the remains of the Cyclopean Chimeric beast.

"Did the scent come from this?" Lin Mu was confused as he was sure the beast couldn't have gone outside. "No wait." Xiao Yin said before taking a deep breath.

~SHUA~

Her mouth was like a vacuum, as it extracted several grey wisps from the bones of the Chimeric Beast.
