The members of the Mailon Mercenary Group counted the casualties, calmed down, and waited for the flood to pass before the team continued on their journey.

The mercenaries possessed strong psychological qualities and were accustomed to deaths during missions. They had no intention of mourning the dead. Instead, they began to reflect on themselves and re-examine the Tianshan Mountains. If more than a dozen people died in the desert layer alone, there would be few survivors in the entire team before they reached the glacier and snow layer.

The only good thing brought by the disaster of the flood of rocks is that their Mailon Mercenary Group can clearly know the route to move forward. The flood of rocks came down from the upper level, so it will definitely be right to move forward along the wreckage of the flood of rocks.

After waiting for about half a day, the debris flow turned into ordinary sand and rock. Although it changed many landforms of the desert rift valley along the way, the rift valley was still the rift valley. It would not be blocked by the impact of the debris flow, nor would it be filled and disappeared because of the debris flow.

"I think the formation of the Tianshan Great Rift is most likely related to this debris flow. For a long time in the past, there have been such underground rapids in the Tianshan Mountains. The Tianshan Great Rift has also existed for a long time, but it has always been buried under the surface, in rocks, and glaciers. Only recently did the debris flow break through the surface and open a passage, allowing us to enter." Lingling analyzed seriously.

“Yes, otherwise how could such a spectacular Tianshan Great Rift Valley appear out of nowhere?” Nanjue agreed with Lingling’s inference.

Valleys, river valleys, and streams were all formed by the constant erosion of rainwater. The Tianshan Great Rift Valley was probably formed by countless floods and rock flows, which eventually eroded a rift entrance at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains more than half a month ago, allowing the mages to enter.

Therefore, the ultimate source of this great rift valley must be the Tianshan glaciers.

There are ice and wind blasts on the glacier deposits, which are terrible natural forces that are difficult for even the most powerful wizard to resist. It is like the ban that Tianshan Mountain rejects all foreign creatures in the world. If you enter the ice and snow layers in the Tianshan Great Rift Valley, you can be protected from the ice and wind blasts. More importantly, you can directly enter the Scar of Sky, where the entrance is nowhere to be found!

No wonder countless mages come to the Tianshan Great Rift Valley from all over the world. This means that even if many mages do not need very high skills, they can still enter the Tianzhihen Treasure House as long as they take the right route.

However, not everyone can step into the Trace of Tianshan Mountains.

After all, the strength of the demons here is among the best in Da Xia.

It can even be said that the only shortcoming is that it is weaker than Kunlun
After the flood, the entire desert rift became silent. Some corpses buried on the surface could be seen along the way. Apparently, the creatures living here were sometimes unable to avoid such sudden disasters.

"There are some dead bodies here," said Tommy, who was in charge of finding the way.

"There's nothing strange about the corpse." said Gavin, the regiment commander.

"It's human."

"Oh, that's nothing strange."

Tommy glanced at the deputy head of the group, Kuma, and continued, "These people were not killed by the flood. They should have avoided the flood like us, but I don't know why they died."

"He was killed by some demon." Gavin said impatiently.

"No obvious signs of death were found."

"Probably poison," Kuma replied.

"Yeah, I think so too. Since they died on our way forward, it means we may encounter them next time," said Tommy.

In the eyes of mercenaries, corpses are no longer something scary. There is no road leading to the treasure without corpses. Oftentimes, corpses can indicate the surrounding conditions. If the corpse is in pieces, it means there are ferocious monsters and beasts. If the corpse has only bones left, it means there may be a group of starving predators. If the corpse is safe and well preserved, there is a high possibility of poisoning, or there are other factors. These can all serve as warning signals for those who come later.

However, the Mailong Mercenary Group did not take it seriously.
The team walked over these bodies, and it took a while for the 9th squad, which was further back, to see the bodies.

Lingling was obviously an old hand. She immediately put on gloves and a mask and went to the bodies to check them.

Wo Dang and several other members of the 9th Division saw the little girl running over with shining eyes, and their expressions were so weird. Even Mo Fan was a little speechless. It was ridiculous that a beautiful little girl was always interested in this kind of thing!
Lingling didn't care at all. The body contained too much information. The road ahead was uncertain, with both natural and demonic factors existing. Even if Mo Fan and his friends were extremely powerful, they would still encounter big problems that could not be solved by their cultivation. With so many people in a team, how could they guarantee that everyone would be safe?
Therefore, information is very important. Any important information collected from this unknown Tianshan Great Rift Valley can avoid some uncontrollable disasters.

Apas, who was in charge of protecting Lingling, said with disdain, "Do you have any special hobbies?"

"You know nothing!" Lingling retorted without even turning her head.

"Hmph!" Apas looked very dissatisfied, but her dissatisfaction soon disappeared. After all, this was part of her and Lingling's daily routine.

"Did you find anything, little girl?" Apas asked when she saw Lingling observing carefully.

"It's weird."

Lingling pointed at the bodies and said, "Judging from the clothes on them, they have reached the meadow layer. The moss and shady grass that are only found in the meadow layer are still hanging on their clothes."

“Since they walked out of the desert layer and reached the canyon with a higher altitude, why did they run back here and die?” Nan Jue asked in confusion after stopping.

Mo Fan was able to bring Lingling here, it was obvious that this little girl had some extraordinary qualities.

Otherwise, she wouldn't believe that Mo Fan deliberately brought a burden with him.

"What was the cause of death?" Ai Jiangtu asked.

"The cause of death was suffocation, but I can't find out what caused it," Lingling said.

"poison?"

"I thought so at first, but if it was poison, they should have stayed in the meadow. Anyone with a little common sense should know that they should look for the antidote nearby where they were poisoned." Lingling said.

"Could it be that they were poisoned in the meadow layer and then washed down by the flood?"

"There are no signs of being hit by the flood and debris flow on their bodies. I'll leave a sample and continue moving forward. We may need to combine it with subsequent environmental factors to find the correct cause of their death." Lingling said.

"It's also possible that they are weak."

Mo Fan glanced at them and said, "They are quite strong. One of them may even have reached the third level of the advanced level."

“There are no signs of fighting on their bodies, which shows that their deaths have nothing to do with their strength…” Nan Jue said.

"The team has reached the front. Let's hurry on. If anything goes wrong, the Mailon Mercenaries will be there to help us." Ai Jiangtu said.

“Old Ai, this is the real reason why you joined the mercenary group, so that you can use them as a cushion in front of you?” Zhao Manyan laughed.

"You talk too much." Ai Jiangtu said.

Zhao Manyan smiled.
