368 The Demon Clan 1

"I am a Terminator." Ji Fengyan had no intention of hiding this fact.

Junze's expression underwent a sudden change. He sized up Ji Fengyan, a chilly light flashed across his eyes.

Just as Ji Fengyan thought Junze was about to say something shocking…

"Well, do you still have anything else to eat?" Junze pleaded pitifully.

Ji Fengyan, "…"

Ji Fengyan decided to lead Junze onto the main mountain path before letting him follow it upwards on his own. Thereafter, she could be free of him!

At this moment, Ji Fengyan missed Liu Huo's quietness tremendously.

Although they were shaded from the scorching sun, that oven-like temperature was still high. Ji Fengyan used her vital energy to protect herself from getting a heatstroke. However, Junze was sweating profusely from being baked by the intense heat.

Junze was just about to negotiate with Ji Fengyan about taking a break when he suddenly detected the faint smell of blood.

Ji Fengyan had also detected that scent.

Both of them stopped in their tracks at the same time.

The location they were standing upon was not far away from the mountain road. Logically, they should already be encountering some youths hiding in the shade from the blazing sun. However, Ji Fengyan realized that there was not another soul in sight in the entire area. Only that vague smell of blood swirled around their noses.

"It's blood?" Junze's expression had turned more serious.

Ji Fengyan nodded. "Fresh, human blood."

Junze looked in mild wonder at Ji Fengyan. He didn't expect her to know so much just from that faint whiff. However, Junze didn't disclose his thoughts.

"We are close to the road toward the mountain peak. There have not been news of any wild beasts appearing in the capital institute mountains. Could it be…" Junze didn't finish his sentence.

Nevertheless, both he and Ji Fengyan were well aware of the possibilities.

After leaving Bai Ze at a safe spot, Ji Fengyan made her way toward the bloody scent.

Junze followed quietly. Ji Fengyan glanced at him.

"Are you planning to serve yourself up as food?" Ji Fengyan raised her brows at the wretched-looking Junze.

Junze wiped his face and stubbornly said, "Don't underestimate a pharmacist's battle skills!"

Ji Fengyan said, "I am not belittling pharmacists."

Junze, "Then…"

"I am belittling only you," Ji Fengyan said in all seriousness. Without waiting for Junze to recover, she had already marched forward.

Junze followed quietly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Both of them edged closer and closer, the smell of blood becoming thicker and thicker.

In the dense forest upon the green leaves, droplets of blood could clearly be seen. The blood was still dripping wet, obviously stained not long ago.

Ji Fengyan followed the blood trail step by step to the eventual target. The surrounding tree branches showed conspicuous signs of a struggle, while the grassy ground beneath held footprints.

A sudden ruckus rang out from the source of the blood smell, followed by a painful wail.

It was human!

Ji Fengyan immediately dived into the shrubbery after hearing that sound. What she saw following that made her stomach churn.

Lying upon the disturbed grass patch, among broken branches stained red by blood, was a wooden wheelchair. A skinny, frail youth laid miserably on the ground while a strange monkey-like creature with long reddish-brown fur squatted some distance away, tearing apart the abdomen and foraging among the still-warm guts of another human.
