Sima Quan started walking more and more quickly. Nothing in this forest could slow him down, and he couldn't wait to get back to the Sima residence.
Jiang Ning and the rest followed behind him and kept up the same speed.
Even Brother Gou and the wolves were able to walk quickly through this terrain after much training, despite being less highly skilled than elders like Sima Quan. They could walk even faster if they wanted to!
In less than half an hour, Sima Quan could already see the Sima clan's estate from afar.
It was already very tough to build such a massive house in the middle of the mountain forest.
Their signboard and gate was still in one good piece!
Sima Quan's heart pounded wildly, but he relaxed a little after seeing that the signboard was still up. He was about to go over when Jiang Ning reached out to pull him back.
"What's wrong?" Sima Quan turned to look at Jiang Ning. "The Sima clan should be alright."
Jiang Ning shook his head.
"Don't you smell it?”
"Hmm?" Sima Quan stopped walking and wrinkled his nose as he took a deep whiff. His expression changed dramatically.
That was the smell of blood!
Even though the wind blowing through the forest would have scattered most of the smell by now, he could still smell blood wafting out from the Sima house, and it irritated his nose.
Sima Quan became even more anxious. He disregarded everything else and rushed into the house.
"Wait!" Jiang Ning yelled after him but Sima Quan couldn't be bothered to stop.
He ran all the way to the door and went right into the estate.
All he saw was a mess of dead bodies.
Blood had dyed the entire floor red, and some of it had already dried up.
Sima Quan's heart pounded loudly and his eyes were bloodshot. He started trembling and clenching his fists from fury as he looked at the fresh blood on the ground. He could almost see that a terrible massacre had happened here not too long ago...
"AHHHHHH!!!" roared Sima Quan furiously. "WHO IS IT? WHO DID THIS?!"
His voice was angry and murderous.
Sima Quan looked around and didn't hear any sound at all. It was as if the entire house was void of living people. Was everyone already dead?
