High Martial Arts: First day of dropping out of school, reward: Devouring the Emperor's Body

"Oh no! What a waste of a perfectly good plate of meat!"

The sudden appearance of the corpses ruined everyone's appetite.

Li Mo frowned slightly, then put down the roasted meat in his hand and slowly walked to the corpse.

The corpse was in a truly gruesome state; half of its body was gnawed away, and the other half was rotting and turning white, indicating that it had been dead for some time.

Li Mo forced himself to endure the discomfort and searched the body, but what he found made him grimace.

"These are our own brothers!"

The thing Li Mo found was an object that resembled an identity tag.

All military personnel leaving the country must obtain such an identification card.

This is so that our own people can easily identify each other!

In case something goes wrong and they start fighting amongst themselves, these identity cards can be used to identify each other.

Secondly, if someone dies abroad, their own people can find the body and collect it.

Li Mo never expected that he would encounter something like this so soon.

The information on the identification tag shows that the person's name is Chen Xiao, age 28, and rank is second lieutenant.

Li Mo remembered that this name was in the information Zhao Zhenyuan had given him!

This mission was not easy, so Zhao Zhenyuan sent out some of the best soldiers in the army. Li Mo remembered that this person's strength should have reached the Blood Transformation Realm, yet he died tragically in the wilderness.

Chen Xiao's body was now in such a gruesome state that it was impossible to determine the cause of death. Upon seeing this, Li Mo sighed and said, "Sigh! We have a mission to complete right now and can't take him back for a proper burial. Let's bury him here for now. Mark a spot on the map, and we'll have the other brothers come and take him home when we get back."

Others, of course, wouldn't question it, since it was one of their own who died abroad, and they would inevitably feel a sense of shared sorrow and empathy.

Soon after, the group buried him.

But at that moment, Li Mo gradually felt that something was wrong.

It should be noted that both groups of people sent by Zhao Zhenyuan acted as a team, and no single person was sent to carry out the mission.

If Li Mo remembers correctly, Chen Xiao's team had a total of eight people.

If he was attacked and killed by some kind of strange beast while traveling with his team, how could his teammates not help him collect his body?

Even if we can't take him back, we should at least bury him temporarily to prevent him from being left to rot in the wilderness, right?

The soldiers of Great Xia should not be that ruthless.

Li Mo immediately shouted, "Quickly, come with me and search the surrounding area to see if there are any other corpses!"

The five people immediately scattered and searched their surroundings.

Before long, they actually made a discovery.

"Captain Li, there's a body here! It's one of our own!"

"There's one here too!"

With the addition of the three bodies, plus the one Li Mo found himself, they have now found five bodies.

It was obvious that these corpses belonged to the same team, the team Chen Xiao was in.

Li Mo had a bad feeling because the corpses were roughly arranged towards the Seven Yuan Mountains.

In other words, the closer they got to the Qiyuan Mountains, the more corpses they found.

This is probably not a coincidence. If it were just an encounter with a strange beast, the bodies of these people should be concentrated in one place.

Moreover, if you encounter a strange beast, and you know you are no match for it, running away is not a problem. The military does not advocate fighting to the death when encountering powerful strange beasts abroad, unless there is no way to escape!

Then there's only one explanation: they've probably encountered an enemy!

Soon, Li Mo found all eight bodies of Chen Xiao's team. All eight of them had fallen in the primeval forest near the Qiyuan Mountains, and their deaths were all gruesome, their bodies left to rot in the wilderness.

After burying the remaining seven people, Li Mo then gathered all the members of the Silent Whisper Squad.

He said slowly, "The situation is quite critical now. These eight people who died were most likely ambushed by the enemy in this primeval forest, which is why they died suddenly!"

"If we continue forward, we'll likely encounter similar situations, so please be extra careful from now on!"

Just as Li Mo was holding a meeting with everyone in the Silent Whisper Squad, he suddenly noticed that something seemed to be watching them from a large tree not far ahead.

"Who?"

Seeing so many of his own men die, Li Mo didn't even hesitate; the next second, he threw a flying knife.

boom!

The powerful throwing knife shattered the towering tree, which was twenty meters in diameter, into pieces in an instant, but Li Mo felt that his throwing knife did not seem to have hit the target.

After Li Mo retrieved the throwing knife, Qin Zhengnan used the Eye of the Void Demon King to see the man's whereabouts.

"Captain Li, he's alive and well!"

Seeing this, Xu Feng couldn't help but retort, "You couldn't see a corpse just now, but now that it's a living person, you can see it clearly!"

"Brother Xu, this Eye of the Void Demon King isn't a passive skill; you have to activate it actively! Otherwise, my eyes are always dry, itchy, and painful!"

Li Mo immediately gave the order: "Stop talking nonsense! Chase them!"

"yes!"

The group immediately took action and gave chase.

Not to mention that this spy's speed is not to be underestimated, even Zheng Jiahao, who is known for his speed in the team, is no match for him and cannot keep up with his pace at all.

Fortunately, Li Mo is now at the Two Elements Realm, and his basic speed in terms of realm is as high as 100,000, so catching up with this person is not difficult.

Soon, the distance between him and this person was getting closer and closer. Seeing how difficult Li Mo was to deal with, the spy launched a counterattack against Li Mo!

It was a laser beam!

But Li Mo didn't dodge at all. His Xuanwu True Skill was now fully mastered, and such attacks couldn't hurt him at all.

As expected, the laser beam struck Li Mo, but it failed to leave a single mark on his skin.

However, Li Mo sensed something unusual about this laser beam, because it did not contain any spiritual energy. In other words, this attack was not a martial artist's method, but some kind of technological method!

"Could they be from the White European Empire?"

Li Mo let out a soft exclamation, only the White European Empire could make such a thing.

Since he could still get some information out of this person if he kept him alive, Li Mo didn't use his weapon again. The next moment, he leaped up and punched the peeping tom.

The voyeur turned to block but was clearly no match for Li Mo and was slammed to the ground. Li Mo didn't give him another chance and turned around to stomp on his chest.

Then Li Mo saw the man's face clearly, and he was indeed a white man!

"Tell me? What's your name! And your unit number!"

As is well known, the people of the White European Empire are different from the Black Earth Tribe and the Great Xia people; they have never had much backbone.

Li Mo didn't even need to interrogate him; the man obediently confessed.

"My name is Paul, and I belong to the Special Forces Unit of the 7th Brigade of the 4th Imperial Army of the White European Empire. Please don't kill me! I'll tell you everything! I'll tell you everything!"

Having seen so many tough guys, Li Mo was a little unaccustomed to encountering someone so honest for the first time.
