Xu Qi'an and Su Su pushed aside the grass and searched for a while before finding a corpse in the knee-high weeds.
The corpse was dressed in black armor, missing its head, and holding a steel knife with a rolled blade. The scar on the neck was as big as a bowl, dried and blackened, indicating that the time of death was at least two hours ago, if not longer.
"It must have died in a grudge killing in the martial arts world, and the resentment is still strong. Let's bury him to prevent his body from being exposed in the wilderness and turning into a vengeful spirit after seven days," Su Su suggested. As a "spirit," she sensed a strong resentment.
This resentment could likely turn the deceased into a vengeful spirit after seven days. Of course, such spirits could not exist for long, dissipating in a matter of hours or days.
