He leaned in closer to sniff carefully, and after distinguishing the smells, Li Fan indeed detected a different scent beneath the thick blood and stench of rotting flesh.
The smell of elixir materials.
This skin had apparently been soaked in a medicinal solution beforehand, to prevent decay and insect damage.

Li Fan calculated for a moment, then flew into the air to circle around and carefully observe the orientation of the fortress, examining the building materials and timber. He roughly figured out where those divine weapons and the creatures inside the fortress were hiding, and now had a plan in his mind.
Thus, he drew a bunch of sword talismans and arranged them around the fortress. Then, he tucked the Kun into his sleeve and stood on top of the fortress, waiting for nighttime, and looked up at the moon.
