After the flood flow, the entire desert rift valley became silent, and some corpses buried on the surface could also be seen along the way.
It seems that the flood is also an unpredictable natural disaster for the creatures living here.
"There are a lot of corpses ahead." Tomi, who was responsible for finding the way, said.
"What's so strange about the corpse?" Gavin, the group leader, said.
"It's human."
"Oh, that's not surprising."
Gavin still didn't care. It was normal to have casualties in Tianshan. Their Mailon mercenary group had not suffered many casualties.
"These people were not washed to death by the torrents of rocks. They should have avoided the torrents of rocks like us, but we don't know why they died."
Tomi glanced at the deputy leader Kuma and then said.
"He was killed by some kind of monster." Gavin said impatiently.
"No obvious signs of death were found."
"Maybe it's poison." Kuma also didn't take it to heart.
"Well, I think so too. Since they died on our way forward, it means we may encounter them next," Tommy said.
After the team in front stopped, Li Xingze and his team behind them could only stop their progress.
"What's going on? It's so good, why did it stop?"
Jiang Yu glanced at the team in front and said with a puzzled look.
"Most likely, I encountered something." Nan Jue said.
Not long after, the team continued to move forward. After everyone advanced for a certain distance, they saw some frozen bodies.
"Did these people freeze to death?"
Zhao Manyan said something very cruel. The body of a mage is much stronger than that of ordinary people. The temperature at this temperature cannot freeze a mage to death.
Everyone just rolled their eyes at Zhao Manyan and did not mock him. They were also very surprised.
There are no wounds on these bodies. If they were not frozen to death, what could be the reason?
"The cause of death was suffocation, but I can't find what caused the suffocation."
After Lingling inspected the body, she looked up at Li Xingze and said.
"Poison?" Nan Jue made a guess.
"It's not poison, it's more like altitude sickness." Li Xingze said.
"What?"
Nan Jue was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses. After thinking about it carefully, it was indeed like death from suffocation caused by altitude sickness.
"Everyone's physique is different. Some people are not accustomed to the climate and climate in Tianshan. It can be said to be a curse."
Li Xingze explained that this kind of altitude sickness cannot be treated with healing magic. These people were most likely abandoned by the team and then buried in the Tianshan Mountains.
If it's just altitude sickness, it's actually very difficult to kill a mage, but human nature cannot stand the test.
With such a few drags down, it will inevitably affect the speed of the team, so it will naturally be abandoned.
"I see, I thought there was something weird in Tianshan Mountain." Zhao Manyan said.
After hearing Li Xingze's explanation, everyone suddenly realized that Li Xingze had been to Tianshan twice, so he naturally knew more than them.
Following the route developed by the flood of rocks, everyone successfully walked out of the desert layer and began to enter the meadow layer.
After arriving at the meadow level, everyone looked around and saw a green mountain and green space, ethereal, holy, beautiful and spectacular!
The meadow layer is covered with thick vegetation everywhere, and there is no doubt that there are more creatures inhabiting it, including many poisonous species.
In a place like this, everyone is eager to leave as soon as possible, because no one knows whether a monster will suddenly appear from somewhere.
At this moment, the team in front stopped unexpectedly.
"Damn, why did we stop again? Could there be another corpse in front of us?" Seeing the team in front stop, Zhao Manyan couldn't help but curse.
"It seems that some mercenaries ahead are beginning to suffer from altitude sickness."
Ai Jiangtu went to the front to check out the situation, then returned to the team and said with a serious face.
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but think of the corpses they encountered before.
"What are they going to do?" Li Xingze asked.
".Let them move freely."
Ai Jiangtu was silent for a moment and said with an ugly expression.
It is said that they are free to move, but in fact they are thrown out of the team. If they leave the team in this environment, they will only end up with the same fate as those corpses.
"Isn't this just letting them die."
Mu Nujiao frowned slightly, unable to accept this cruel reality.
"Tsk, mercenaries are mercenaries. In their eyes, the lives of teammates are far less important than the mission."

Li Xingze said calmly, obviously having guessed such a result.
"What should we do? Just let them die?" Mo Fan said.
"Then what else can we do? In any case, this is the matter of their Mailon mercenary group, and we'd better not get involved."
Xu Zhaoting said very coldly.
In this world, mages die every day. Since you have chosen to join the Mailon Mercenary Group, and since you have chosen to come to Tianshan to do this mission, you should be prepared for this.
"I think Lao Xu is right, we should just take care of ourselves." Zhao Manyan agreed.
"Before these mercenaries came, they signed a life-and-death certificate. If they die on the road, a lot of their commission will be given to their relatives. This is their own choice."
Jiang Yu also said calmly.
Ai Jiangtu sighed. Since the captain and others had said so, he naturally didn't want to meddle in other people's business.
The team began to move forward, and as the altitude gradually increased, the oxygen became increasingly thinner.
"Hmph!"
"Hmph!"
Guanyu suddenly found that his nose was blocked, so he turned to breathing through his mouth.
"Guan Yu, you must have been tricked too, right? Brother Ze, should we leave him behind like those mercenaries?"
Zhao Manyan noticed something strange about Guan Yu and made a joke.
"I'm not. It's okay."
Guan Yu immediately became anxious. He was really worried about being abandoned. After all, he had ridiculed Zhao Manyan when he was in the national team.
"Old Zhao, you scared him, Guan Yu, how do you feel?" Mo Fan asked.
"I'm a little out of breath, so tired, so hard to breathe."
Guanyu's steps were a little wobbly, and he sat down clinging to the stone moss next to him, and then his lungs began to fluctuate greatly.
"I'm a little uncomfortable too," Ai Jiangtu said.
"Me too." Lingling said in a weak voice.
Li Xingze immediately looked back and saw that Lingling's little face was as white as frost and snow, and her little lips were opening and closing like a stranded fish trying hard to breathe through its gills.
Li Xingze reacted quickly and immediately stepped forward to hold Lingling in his arms, and then used the horse charm to clear her of negative effects.
"Something has come in. It's warm and comfortable." (End of Chapter)
