Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2103 (Two Thousand One Hundred and Three) Bite Out
He felt that if he wanted to reduce his fear, he should step over it without stepping on the few drops of blood on the ground, and look carefully to see if there were any other bloodstains in front of him before stepping on them. However, he knew that if he wanted to avoid any bloodstains on his shoes, he had to look carefully at the ground, so that his eyes would more easily make him notice the bloodstains. He felt that whether intentionally or unintentionally, looking at the bloodstains on the ground would easily increase his fear. However, the fear brought to him by the bloodstains on his shoes would be far greater than the increased fear in his heart after seeing the bloodstains. Therefore, he thought that it would be less fearful for him to look carefully at the ground and avoid stepping on the blood.

So, although he was afraid, he looked very carefully and stepped over carefully to make sure he didn't step on the blood on the ground.

However, just as he stepped over, he found that his shoe had stepped on something else.

He quickly raised his foot and continued to move forward. He looked back at the ground carefully and realized that he had stepped on a large clump of dog hair.

After kicking away the dog hair, he became even more terrified—there was actually a little blood underneath the hair.

He really wanted to know if there was blood on the soles of his shoes when he stepped on the dog hair, but he didn't dare to look.

He thought: Even if it is stained, I can just pretend that it is not stained. The bloodstain will be rubbed off by walking around.

Even though he thought so, he still felt that he might be in trouble. He immediately thought: I was so careful to avoid the blood on the ground, but I still couldn't avoid it. Is this what I have to go through? I just stepped on a handful of dog hair. Who would have thought that there was a little blood under the dog hair? If this blood is really related to Muxi Pavilion, does it mean that I have been "stained" with something? It looks like this is very troublesome! Have I been targeted by someone?
He turned around and stopped looking at the bloodstains on the ground, feeling uneasy.

He took two steps forward and saw another tuft of dog hair.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the two dogs biting each other, and thought: That blood is not from human beings, right? Did it fall to the ground when the dogs were biting each other? Judging from the color, could it be from the spotted dog?
Thinking of this, his fear was lessened.

Just as he guessed, the bloodstains on the ground were indeed left by a dog, but they were not left by the spotted dog he had imagined.

Before he saw the three dogs, right where the bloodstains were, another spotted dog was bitten by another dog for the bone and bled. The hair on the ground was also left by the spotted dog, whom he had never seen before.

As Tie Wandao's men moved forward, they secretly comforted themselves again and again, telling themselves that it was not human blood.

He kept thinking about these things along the way, and unknowingly walked to the door of Muxi Pavilion. He once again felt a terrifying atmosphere.

Although there was nothing unusual around him, he felt as if something was unusual everywhere.

Although the wind blowing on him was not warm, it was not cold either. However, he always felt that the wind passing through the Muxi Pavilion was chilly.

He was about to use the key to open the door of Muxi Pavilion when he suddenly thought: Why should I open the door? I don't even need to walk to the door of Muxi Pavilion! I just need to stand at the place where I heard the singing yesterday and wait. How did I just...get here? Why did I almost use the key to open the door?
