"Eldest Brother, can you tell what's wrong with this place?" I asked.

"For the time being, I can't tell. Anyway, this place is strange, so it's fine. We have to be careful."

It was a compass used by the master, and once he had decided on the aim, it started to spin in the big pit. I was curious for a moment, so I followed behind the eldest senior brother and looked, and as he looked, I could not help but feel fear in my heart, but the compass started to spin very quickly, as if it was floating in the air, and it took two to three minutes before it pointed to a spot in the east, unable to stop.

Usually, a compass would use it to search for dragon points, but our master's compass is a bit special. Not only does it allow us to search for dragon points, it can also detect the negative properties in the surroundings. At the beginning, this compass was erratic and kept turning in circles, which meant that the Yin Qi here is strong and vigorous, and the needle of the compass points in the specific direction of the Yin Qi.

The hand holding the compass was trembling slightly. After a long time, the eldest senior brother put the compass away and turned to look at me, saying, "Youngest junior brother, I think we might not be able to handle this matter. According to the compass, there is a very powerful person in this place, and he seems to be underground."

The eldest senior brother's words were solemn and didn't sound like he was joking at all. I immediately asked, "Is that strong guy as strong as that Gui Sha we met at the Ghost Manor?"

"He's definitely stronger than Gui Sha, why else would I tell you that we might not be able to get along …" The eldest senior brother turned his head to look at me and said.

"Weren't you the one that failed to kill Gui Sha back then?" The words that I suddenly said immediately made the eldest senior brother's forehead to be filled with black lines.

After that, the eldest senior brother ignored me and walked around once before finding a shovel. He dug beside the mud that had been soaked in blood for about five to six minutes, and the surprising scene happened again. This time, the mud that the eldest senior brother dug was no longer dark red, but had turned into a bright red color.

When I saw this sight, I immediately thought of something. I walked up to the eldest senior brother and whispered, "Elder senior brother, do you think this is a corpse rearing ground? Is there a Blood Corpse buried here?"

When I went down to dig four or five meters deeper, blood would seep out from the soil. Moreover, this blood had a strong corrosive property; if it was contaminated with a person's body, the person's entire body would rot. It would be painful and itchy, and in the end, the person would turn into a pool of pus and blood.

Moreover, the Blood Corpse in this rearing ground is not an ordinary corpse, but a zombie of a very high rank. With Big Senior's level and mine, it would be easy to deal with an ordinary zombie, but if we meet a Blood Corpse, then it would be no different from suicide.

However, the Eldest Senior Brother shook his head and said, "Blood Corpses are not such a simple thing as Blood Corpses. Blood Corpses are just a type of zombie, they are buried deep underground, and if you don't dig them out, they will not pose any threat to people. But look at the construction site.

After hearing what eldest senior brother said, I felt that it was impossible for it to be the Blood Corpse's doing. It seemed to be the doing of a ghost like me, because only a spirit body could kill people without them noticing.

However, seeing that Eldest Senior Brother was still digging the bloody soil, I advised, "Eldest Senior Brother, you should stop digging. What if there really is a problem with the bloody mud …"

The Eldest Senior Brother stopped what he was doing and felt that what I said made sense, but he still asked Zhang Xiaofei beside him, "Brother Little Zhang, the people who were digging this bloody mud didn't have any special circumstances, right?"

Zhang Xiaofei nodded, "Other than the foreman's sudden death, everyone else is fine. Nothing's wrong."

The eldest senior brother threw the shovel to the side, clapped his hands and said, "Forget it, we won't dig anymore. Even if there's something underneath, it's not the right time to do it now.

Since we are sure that there is something below, we decided to not linger any longer. We discussed to come back tomorrow morning and take advantage of the sun energy to come back and dig. Even if we did manage to find a Blood Corpse, we would not be able to do anything in broad daylight.

However, we are really not sure what is buried down there. Before we get to the bottom of this, we don't want to alarm Master, and we can't look for the old man whenever we encounter any difficulties. Master also told me before we came that he wanted me to hone my skills.

The eldest senior brother and I discussed briefly before we climbed up the ladder and informed Zhang Xiaofei. Tomorrow morning, the two of us would come back and dig under the bloody soil to see what was so strange about it.

With that, we walked towards the iron gate.

Just when we arrived next to a building that had been torn in half, the Eldest Senior Brother's footsteps suddenly stopped. He waved his hand and said, "Wait …"

Zhang Xiaofei and I were clueless as to what was going on as we looked towards Eldest Brother.

"What happened? Did you change your mind?" I asked.

The Eldest Senior Brother frowned and said, "Listen carefully. Did you guys hear anything? Why do I feel like someone is gnawing on the ribs?"

"Maybe it's a wild dog. In the past, when the workers ate at the construction site, a lot of the finished pork ribs were left around the construction site, which attracted a lot of wild dogs …" Zhang Xiaofei said.

"That's not right, this aura doesn't seem to be coming from a wild dog." The Eldest Senior Brother said flatly.

I pricked up my ears and listened carefully. It was almost eleven o'clock now, and the traffic outside was quiet, and the place was very quiet. When I tried to listen, I heard something gnawing, as if it were chewing on a broken bone.

While the elder senior was still in a daze, he took out his Peach Blaze Sword and walked towards the back of the half-demolished building.

Zhang Xiaofei and I looked at each other for a moment before we increased our vigilance and chased after our eldest senior brother.
