Chapter 452

July 8th, 9:00 AM.

The vanguard of the Northern Border army, which had slaughtered its way into the Northern Barbarian lands, had already reached the deepest point previously opened up by the Green Frost Army.

This location was less than twenty li in a straight line from the Dream Lion tribe's headquarters.

After the vanguard arrived, they did not immediately launch an attack, but instead began building defensive fortifications and setting up tents.

They waited until after 4:00 PM for the main force to arrive in succession.

Prince Cheng issued the order to attack!

It was not the soldiers who entered the dense forest ahead first...

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom—

Shells flew into the sky with turbulent air currents, tracing a parabola in the air before finally landing in the dense forest.

Three hundred portable mortars opened fire simultaneously!

Ancient trees reaching the sky were blown apart, dense ferns were pulverized, and dust filled the air.

The traps, poisonous insects, wild beasts, and Wildland warriors that had been set up in the dense forest were also blown to pieces.

Under the artillery fire, all living things are equal!

Bombard with artillery for several rounds before the attack, then send soldiers to charge in formation with guns.

This tactic was the one most commonly used by the Western Allied Forces when they invaded the Great Lan Dynasty, and now the Great Lan Dynasty had learned its essence.

It is just a pity that the portable mortars carried by the Northern Border army had a maximum range of only three li, making it impossible to cover the entire dense forest ahead.

After five rounds of artillery bombardment, following an order from Prince Cheng, over three thousand vanguard troops charged into the dense forest!

These soldiers all chose to wear pistols at their waists and carry combat sabers in their hands.

In the Wildland jungles, there was too much cover, making guns less useful than blades.

The soldiers at the very front first scattered a large amount of medicinal powder to repel poisonous insects and snakes, then used specialized machetes to continuously hack at the ferns they encountered, clearing a path for the comrades behind them.

These ferns were dense, lush, and could be seen everywhere.

Therefore, there were no paths in this Wildland jungle to begin with; one could only hack out a path!

They were only twenty li away from the Dream Lion tribe's headquarters, but Prince Cheng did not let the Green Frost Army open the path again.

The previous path-clearing had already caused the Green Frost Army to suffer great losses; from now on, unless it was absolutely necessary, Prince Cheng would not use even a shred of the Green Frost Army's strength.

Prince Cheng wanted to pave these final twenty li leading to the Dream Lion tribe's headquarters with artillery fire, blood, and bones!

Although the Northern Border army had guarded the border for many years, they actually had little experience fighting enemies in the Wildland jungles, mostly intercepting enemies in towns, valleys, and plains outside.

Prince Cheng needed this 'warm-up battle' to let the soldiers slowly adapt to the rhythm of the upcoming fighting.

At the same time, this was also time he had deliberately left for the Dream Lion tribe.

If he wiped out the Dream Lion tribe too quickly, how could he lure out his true target?

In the jungle, a squad of border soldiers wearing leather armor, helmets, and carrying combat sabers walked cautiously.

Under their feet were the hacked-down ferns.

As they passed a large tree, a tiny blowdart flew silently from the lush branches above, accurately striking a soldier in the neck.

The soldier who was struck felt his neck go numb, thinking he had been bitten by a mosquito, and reached out to touch it subconsciously, only then realizing something was wrong.

His expression did not change, and he was about to open his mouth to shout, but he suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth!

"Enemy attack—"

"They're above!"

"Damn it—"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Gunshots rang out in the jungle.

This squad of border soldiers pulled out the pistols at their waists and fired at the branches above.

During this process, another soldier was struck in the neck by a blowdart and fell to the ground.

After the gunshots rang out, the branches above shook, and a figure leaped down from the tree, dove into the lush plants, and disappeared after a few movements.

"Don't chase!"

"Save the men first!"

"."

At this time, gunshots, exclamations, roars, and screams were also ringing out in other parts of the dense forest.

There were Northern Barbarian warriors hiding in the trees, Northern Barbarian warriors hiding in the dense plants, and even some hiding underground...

These Northern Barbarian warriors hiding in the shadows used poisoned blowdarts, crossbow bolts, spears, and other weapons to launch sneak attacks, and they would run immediately after striking, never staying.

When ordinary border soldiers encountered this situation, it was difficult for them to mount a counterattack in time; only the martial artists in the squad had a chance to kill them back.

Fortunately, the proportion of martial artists in this vanguard unit was very high, far higher than that of the Northern Barbarian warriors hiding in the shadows.

Coupled with the fact that there had already been a round of artillery bombardment, many of the Northern Barbarians' setups had been destroyed, and nearly half of those in ambush had been killed or wounded, so the border army's vanguard unit continued to push forward.

As more and more border troops entered this battlefield, large areas of plants were hacked down, leaving the Wildland warriors with less and less space to dodge and maneuver, and their casualties gradually rose, forcing them to abandon this battlefield and retreat.

By the time night fell, the Northern Border army's spearhead had only pushed forward three li.

Prince Cheng ordered the entire army to rest and begin lighting fires to cook.

On the border line, the Barbarian-Slaughtering Army, totaling over seven thousand people, had already been stationed there three days ago.

Unlike the main army led by Prince Cheng, the Barbarian-Slaughtering Army consisted of only 3,600 Imperial Guard troops and 3,527 Lan Xun Pavilion martial artists; other than that, there were no civilian laborers.

All supplies were carried by themselves.

A martial artist's supplies could be managed by taking energy-replenishing elixirs; a single tiny elixir could sustain a martial artist's consumption for an entire day in a non-combat state.

Therefore, the Barbarian-Slaughtering Army, a unit composed entirely of martial artists, did not need to carry large amounts of heavy dry rations, only enough elixirs and sufficient water.

Only in this way could they solve the supply problem and thus penetrate deep into the Wildlands to carry out their mission.

Li Fei had stayed in this unit for three days, spending every day honing his martial arts in the illusions he constructed himself.

Implants all require special storage methods; lower-grade implants are mostly refrigerated, while mid-grade implants are more difficult to store.

Moreover, all implants must be absorbed immediately after leaving their storage environment, otherwise they will quickly undergo alienation.

Therefore, implants cannot be carried on one's person, nor are they convenient for transport.

When Li Fei was in Lanling City, the implants he wanted could be delivered to his hands at the first opportunity.

But in the Northern Border, there were no such good conditions.

After arriving in the Northern Border, he had only completed the absorption of one mid-grade technique-type implant, and for the time being, he could only hone his martial arts and techniques, unable to absorb any more implants.

"Marquis, Commander Bai requests your presence."

Outside the tent, someone came to report to Li Fei.

"Alright."

Li Fei stood up, walked out of his tent, and headed toward the tent where Bai Yan was located.

After entering the tent, he found that all the high-ranking officers of the Barbarian-Slaughtering Army were present.

Li Fei greeted everyone.

"Now that everyone is here, let me explain."

Seeing that Li Fei had arrived, Bai Yan spoke immediately.

As his voice fell, an invisible force shrouded the tent, ensuring that no one outside could eavesdrop on the conversation that followed.

In the center of Bai Yan's tent was a military sand table, which simulated the terrain of the Wildlands, as well as the troop distribution, defensive zone setups, and other important military intelligence of the seventeen tribes.

The Great Lan Dynasty had sent heavy troops to guard the Northern Border for hundreds of years; naturally, it was impossible that they had just sent troops to stand guard.

Even if they had never sent troops to slaughter their way into the Wildlands, the relevant intelligence work had never been slackened!

The Northern Border had always had sources of intelligence regarding the general situation and troop distribution of the seventeen Wildland tribes.

The sand table in Bai Yan's tent was proof of this, and what he said next further proved this point:

"Three days ago, the Northern Barbarian King ordered eleven tribes to send troops to rescue the Dream Lion tribe, and he himself also rushed to provide support with ten thousand personal guards. According to the intelligence obtained so far, there are already significant gaps in the Northern Barbarian defensive line."

The Barbarian-Slaughtering Army had waited on the border line for three days, not only waiting for the latest intelligence but also waiting for the Northern Barbarians to complete their troop movements.

As Bai Yan spoke, he continuously moved the directions of the flags stuck into the sand table.

Following his movements, even Li Fei, who 'knew nothing of military affairs', could clearly see that the loopholes in the Northern Barbarian defensive zone were becoming larger and larger.

"I have already drawn up a marching route that can guarantee we can intercept and kill the Northern Barbarian King at the fastest possible speed!"

After Bai Yan moved all the flags, he stated his plan.

On the sand table, the flags representing the Northern Barbarian King and his personal guards were bright red.

At this moment, these bright red flags were also rushing toward the location of the Dream Lion tribe.

If the Barbarian-Slaughtering Army had slaughtered its way into the Wildlands directly from the start, they would have had to pass through layers of defensive lines to have any chance of reaching the Northern Barbarian King, and they would have been surrounded by a massive army.

The final outcome would, in all likelihood, have been the total annihilation of the entire army!

But now, with Prince Cheng suddenly slaughtering his way to the Dream Lion tribe's headquarters and the Northern Barbarian King ordering everyone to provide support, a safe marching route had appeared just like that:

The Barbarian-Slaughtering Army could pass through the loopholes in the Northern Barbarian defensive zone; as long as their speed was fast enough, they would have the chance to intercept and kill the opponent before the Northern Barbarian King could rendezvous with the armies of the other tribes!

In this way, the only enemies the Barbarian-Slaughtering Army would have to face would be the Northern Barbarian King and the ten thousand personal guards by his side.

This was also the most ideal situation the Military Department had anticipated when drawing up the plan beforehand.

However, the intelligence obtained by the Barbarian-Slaughtering Army was not precise, and many of the troop movement situations were merely speculation.

Therefore, this so-called 'safe marching route' drawn up by Bai Yan only existed in theory.

Whether it could withstand the test of actual combat would depend on how much real substance Bai Yan, the commander personally appointed by the Son of Heaven, actually had.

Since ancient times, penetrating deep into enemy territory alone to carry out combat missions had always been the most difficult task, and it also tested the commander's personal ability the most.

"Everyone, the opportunity for battle has appeared; depart immediately!"

Bai Yan swept his stern gaze over everyone present before finally issuing the order.

Soon, over seven thousand people were in motion, entering the Wildland jungle at an extremely fast speed.

The over three thousand Lan Xun Pavilion martial artists were divided into five teams, taking turns to serve the task of opening the path at the very front.

Compared to ordinary border soldiers, these martial artists opened the path faster, more efficiently, and had more abundant stamina.

In addition to opening the path, each of the over three thousand Lan Xun Pavilion martial artists carried a large pack of supplies.

Opening the path and carrying supplies were the primary tasks of these over three thousand martial artists.

Combat was actually their secondary task.

They needed to allow the 3,600 Imperial Guard troops to preserve their combat strength to the greatest extent before entering battle.

This was why Chen Fei and the others had not been worried about Li Fei being able to compete for credit with the Green Frost Army after the battle.

Even if this Barbarian-Slaughtering Army really did successfully complete the decapitation mission in the end, Li Fei and the Lan Xun Pavilion martial artists he led would certainly not be the ones receiving the primary credit.

Starting from after 3:00 PM on July 8th, the Barbarian-Slaughtering Army of over seven thousand people marched for over six hours, not stopping to set up camp until after 9:00 PM.

Over six hours, running and stopping, taking elixirs to rest whenever tired, the Barbarian-Slaughtering Army had marched a straight-line distance of over twenty li in the Wildland jungle!

Without the Green Frost Army opening the path, the straight-line distance an ordinary border army could march in the Wildland jungle in six hours would not exceed five li.

"The straight-line distance we march each day from now on cannot be less than fifty li; only then can we arrive ahead of the Northern Barbarian King to intercept and kill him!"

This was what Bai Yan said to Li Fei and the others.

In the Wildland jungle, a straight-line marching distance of no less than fifty li per day—such astonishing high speed was only possible for a unit like the Barbarian-Slaughtering Army.

According to Bai Yan's estimation, as long as they could maintain this speed, and if everything went smoothly, they would intercept and kill the Northern Barbarian King in eight days!

The night passed without incident.

At 4:00 AM the next morning, before dawn, Bai Yan ordered everyone to take their elixirs and then began the march.

Until 12:00 PM, the Barbarian-Slaughtering Army traversed the jungle, climbed over a small mountain, and crossed countless undulating hills, reaching a straight-line marching distance of thirty li.

All the Lan Xun Pavilion martial artists responsible for opening the path were already exhausted to the point of collapse.

Even with sufficient energy-replenishing elixirs to replenish their energy, the body is not made of iron after all; muscles will ache, mental energy will be depleted, and even implants have a fatigue period, unable to continuously absorb energy and provide it to the human body without end.

Bai Yan finally ordered a rest.

Li Fei arranged for people to be responsible for patrolling the perimeter as usual, and waited for the scouts walking at the very front to return and report the situation.

A moment later, a Lan Xun Pavilion martial artist returned carrying another person on his back.

Li Fei raised an eyebrow and took the initiative to meet them:

"What happened?"

"Marquis, we encountered a strange beast, and he was injured by it."

The man put down the martial artist he was carrying; the man's chest and abdomen were covered in blood, his entire abdomen was almost shredded, and the intestines inside were all severed!

Both of these men were scouts who had been sent out.

On the route Bai Yan had set, the Barbarian-Slaughtering Army had not encountered a single enemy so far.

But in this Wildland jungle, it was never just humans that were dangerous.

"Marquis, I have already used healing medicine on him, but it can barely stop the bleeding; this kind of injury..."

The surrounding Lan Xun Pavilion martial artists gathered around; among them were those skilled in medicine, who could tell at a glance that even if such an injury could be treated, the person would completely lose their combat effectiveness from then on.

Only by giving them extremely precious healing medicine could they recover in a short period of time.

But the injured scout was only a martial artist at the Body-Breaking stage; how could he be worth using precious healing medicine on?

Everyone who gathered around fell silent.

The Barbarian-Slaughtering Army still had a long way to go and important missions yet to be completed; it was impossible for someone who had completely lost their combat effectiveness to keep up with the main force.

Send someone to carry him on their back and continue forward?

Send someone to stay behind and look after him?

Or send someone to escort him back?

This was war!

Therefore, none of these options were realistic.

"Marquis..."

The severely injured martial artist's face was pale, and he smiled with some difficulty, saying to Li Fei:

"Give me... leave me some medicine and energy-replenishing elixirs; I will stay here."

"."

Silence.

The Lan Xun Pavilion martial artists who had gathered around all knew very well that this was the only choice!

This made them all feel a sense of shared sorrow.

Because if it were one of them who was severely injured next, this would also be their final outcome.

Li Fei knelt down calmly, placing his palm gently on the other person's abdomen; cyan light flowed out from his palm like liquid, entering the other person's body.

The other person's injuries began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye!

This scene caused the surrounding people to let out bursts of exclamations.

They knew that many Dao-Foundation stage powerhouses had extraordinary healing abilities, but even core-level extraordinary abilities could basically only heal oneself, not others.

Li Fei actually possessed an extraordinary ability that could heal others, and the healing effect was so powerful?!

One minute later, the scout who had been severely injured stood up again.

Cheers erupted all around.

"Marquis!"

The scout who had been healed knelt on one knee directly to Li Fei in excitement:

"Thank you, Marquis, for saving my life!"

Li Fei helped the other person up calmly and patted his shoulder:

"Be more careful in the future."

Then he turned and left, continuing to arrange tasks.

This matter quickly spread throughout the entire Barbarian-Slaughtering Army.

Upon learning of this, the over three thousand Lan Xun Pavilion martial artists under Li Fei's command could not help but have their morale greatly boosted!

The other over three thousand Imperial Guard troops also felt encouraged.

After all, having a 'divine physician' like Li Fei in the unit would certainly make people feel much more at ease.

After resting for over two hours, Bai Yan ordered the entire army to set off again.

Along the way that followed, the Barbarian-Slaughtering Army still did not encounter a single enemy, but five scouts died in attacks by strange beasts, and seven scouts who had been severely injured were all saved by Li Fei using 'Green God'.

Until after 9:00 PM, Bai Yan ordered the entire army to set up camp and rest.

Today, the straight-line distance the Barbarian-Slaughtering Army had marched exceeded sixty li!

"Marquis, Commander Bai requests your presence."

At night, a personal guard came to the outside of Li Fei's tent and said in a low voice.

Li Fei stood up and walked out of the tent, following the personal guard to the outside of Bai Yan's tent, after which he walked in alone.

Inside Bai Yan's tent was a simple wooden table with a map on it; when Li Fei walked into the tent, he was leaning over the map, writing and drawing.

"Commander Bai."

Li Fei greeted him.

Bai Yan stood up and nodded at him: "Sit."

The seats were two wooden stumps.

After both sat down, Bai Yan asked directly:

"I heard that the Marquis of Jing'an saved a total of eight severely injured scouts today?"

Li Fei's eyes shifted, and he nodded: "Yes."

Bai Yan looked at him: "It is admirable that the Marquis of Jing'an, leading troops for the first time, is so protective of his soldiers."

Li Fei did not speak; he knew that the other person calling him over alone in the middle of the night was certainly not to praise him.

Sure enough, Bai Yan continued:

"I know the Marquis of Jing'an has astonishing combat power and has even practiced a divine ability that can absorb the Qi of Heaven and Earth, but doesn't saving people like this cause you depletion?"

Li Fei said calmly: "Naturally, there is depletion."

The healing effect of 'Green God' is very strong, and the consumption is naturally very large!

Even if Li Fei has the 【Mixed Heaven Golden Palace】 divine ability, which can absorb the Qi of Heaven and Earth to replenish his Innate Qi, 'Green God' consumes more than just Innate Qi.

The implant itself will suffer depletion, and Li Fei's mental energy will also be consumed.

Neither of these can be recovered in a short period of time.

A martial artist's 'Essence, Qi, and Spirit'—elixirs or divine abilities like 【Mixed Heaven Golden Palace】 can replenish 'Essence' and 'Qi', but they cannot replenish 'Spirit'.

Elixirs that can quickly recover a martial artist's mental energy are very rare and very precious.

Likewise, the same is true for elixirs that can quickly recover the source depletion of an implant.

Compared to martial artists of the same realm, Li Fei, who possesses the 【Mixed Heaven Golden Palace】 divine ability, indeed has very strong sustained combat capability.

But that does not mean he is a 'perpetual motion machine'.

Bai Yan looked at him: "I have heard of your battle with Luo Xu; in this Barbarian-Slaughtering Army, apart from us few Grandmasters and top-tier True Persons, your combat power should be the strongest! Although the combat power of the Imperial Guard troops is also very strong, their ability to fight a protracted war is not as good as yours."

"Therefore, to me, you are a very important part of the upcoming combat plan!"

"Does the Marquis of Jing'an understand what I mean?"

Li Fei was silent for a moment, then nodded: "I understand."

Bai Yan looked at him for a few seconds before finally saying:

"Your healing ability is of course also very useful, but anyone below the Dao-Foundation stage is not worth you taking action to save."

His tone was not stern, but Li Fei knew that this was a formal military order issued by the other party!

"Yes, Commander Bai."

Li Fei also said seriously to Bai Yan.

A smile appeared on Bai Yan's face: "The Marquis of Jing'an should get some rest early."

Li Fei nodded and turned to walk out of the tent.

"Li Fei."

Just as he was about to walk out of the tent, Bai Yan's voice suddenly came from behind him.

He turned his head to look at the other person.

"People will definitely die in war."

Bai Yan looked into Li Fei's eyes and said word by word:

"This is war!"

Li Fei pursed his lips: "Thank you for the reminder, Commander Bai."

Then he walked out of the tent.

Inside the tent, Bai Yan continued to lower his head to study the map.

The night passed without incident.

The next morning, the Barbarian-Slaughtering Army continued on its way.

Before setting off, Bai Yan issued a military order in his capacity as the commander of the Barbarian-Slaughtering Army:

From this moment on, anyone who is injured and temporarily loses the ability to move will be left where they are, given a portion of supplies, and will no longer be brought back into the unit.

Hearing this military order, Li Fei pursed his lips.

He knew this was Bai Yan's good intention.

The other party had taken the initiative to play the villain, without forcing Li Fei to destroy the lofty image he had built up in the hearts of the Lan Xun Pavilion martial artists.

No one questioned Bai Yan's military order, and the Barbarian-Slaughtering Army continued its march.

On this day, a total of sixteen scouts died and fifteen scouts were severely injured.

None of the severely injured scouts returned to the unit.

July 11th, 9:00 AM.

On the fourth day of the Barbarian-Slaughtering Army's penetration into the Wildlands, the straight-line distance they had marched already exceeded 150 li.

Along this way, the Barbarian-Slaughtering Army had not encountered a single Northern Barbarian warrior!

Such a result fully demonstrated the leadership ability of Bai Yan as a commander, giving the entire army more confidence in the completion of this mission.

At 12:00 PM, Bai Yan ordered the entire army to rest, then temporarily summoned all high-ranking officers for a meeting.

"There is a gathering place for a branch of the Fire Qilin tribe ahead of us."

Bai Yan got straight to the point, "We will arrive there around 6:00 PM tonight, and I intend to wipe out this branch."

He said it lightly, as if he were saying he was going to eat dinner at 6:00 PM tonight.

Qi Zhou, who was on the side, raised a question: "Commander Bai, why must we wipe out this branch? Can't we bypass it?"

Bai Yan shook his head: "There are three reasons."

"First, to bypass this branch, we would have to climb over two more large mountains, which would seriously affect our march."

"Second, this branch is set up next to a river, and our marching route will have to follow this river forward from here on out, so that we can always have water to use."

"Third, whether it is the over three thousand Imperial Guard troops, the Lan Xun Pavilion martial artists, or everyone present, no one has actually fought against Northern Barbarian warriors and powerhouses; I need such a 'warm-up battle' to let everyone get familiar with the rhythm of the upcoming fighting."

After listening to Bai Yan's explanation, Li Fei suddenly understood some principles of marching and fighting.

Stamina and Innate Qi can be replenished by elixirs, but replenishing water must be done by drinking water.

The drinking water carried by the Barbarian-Slaughtering Army had already been completely exhausted the day before yesterday.

And the day before yesterday, Bai Yan 'happened' to lead everyone to find a lake to replenish their water once.

This meant that when Bai Yan was considering the marching route, he not only had to consider avoiding the enemy but also had to consider the water consumption of the entire army, and consider when and where to find water sources.

The entire Wildland is so vast; in a situation where it was impossible to obtain enemy intelligence at any time, Li Fei had originally been wondering how Bai Yan was going to predict the Northern Barbarian King's marching route to accurately intercept and kill him?

Now he understood.

Terrain, water sources, the fastest marching route.

With these three things superimposed, there were actually not many marching routes the Northern Barbarian King could choose.

"Does anyone else have any questions?"

Bai Yan looked around at everyone present and asked.

No one asked any more questions.

"Alright, then I will assign the combat tasks for tonight."

Under the night sky, below a valley, on a river beach, there was a large complex of buildings.

This was the gathering place for the Fire Qilin tribe's branch.

As one of the four strong tribes of the Northern Barbarians, the Fire Qilin tribe had a total population of over one million and had over a dozen branches.

This branch, built on the river beach, was home to over 50,000 people.

When the Fire Qilin tribe decided to go all out to support the Dream Lion tribe and respond to the Northern Barbarian King's order, the headquarters sent the order to all branches, letting all branches also send a unit to provide support.

This Fire Qilin tribe branch had a total of over ten thousand warriors, and they had sent out over three thousand.

Under the night sky, many bonfires and torches were lit in the branch's building complex.

In the valley above, Li Fei arrived silently at the edge of the cliff, looking down at the building complex below.

In order to ensure the suddenness of the surprise attack, Bai Yan had sent powerhouses from the Barbarian-Slaughtering Army to act as scouts, silently eliminating all the hidden sentries set up by this Fire Qilin tribe branch on the perimeter.

Li Fei had also taken action.

Just now, relying on Sword State: Shadowless and Formless, he had eliminated five hidden sentries in a way that was nearly invisible.

Next, he would also act as a vanguard, leading a team to slaughter their way into the Fire Qilin tribe branch below.

"To ensure that news of our unit does not leak, I require that all enemies be completely annihilated in tonight's battle."

"This Fire Qilin tribe branch has over 50,000 people; not a single one can be left alive!"

Li Fei's mind recalled the order Bai Yan had issued in the tent during the day.

At this moment, looking at the large building complex below and the Northern Barbarians coming and going, he had a concrete concept of over 50,000 people.

In the distance, the river flowed with a gurgling sound, and the moonlight cast a ripple of light on the river surface.

For the tens of thousands of people in the Fire Qilin tribe branch, this was a quiet night, just like any other.

Li Fei looked down at his feet.

In the soil under his feet was a skeleton that had been half-buried; the moonlight shone on the skeleton, and one could clearly see the rows of tooth marks left on it.

These were not tooth marks left by wild beasts...

Li Fei looked at the skeleton under his feet expressionlessly; after watching for a good while, he raised his head again, then leaped down toward the valley below.
