Chapter 142: Cannibal Ruins(1/2)
One hour later.
The steel healed itself and stopped recovering. Because the metal accumulated in the body was exhausted, Qi Yuan's body's injuries did not fully recover, but it no longer affected the battle.
Seraph also took the opportunity to control a group of polluting beasts as a pioneer in the pathfinding. In order to meet Qi Yuan's needs for riding, Seraph also specially captured a huge insect beast.
Just as the two were about to leave, Qi Yuan always felt as if he had forgotten something.
Looking around, the lake surface was as calm as a mirror, and the corpses of several insects and beasts were tilted.
The corpse of the polluter, the black liquid had flowed out, leaving only a layer of mummies with skin wrapped around the bones.
It seems that nothing is left!
Qi Yuan sat on the insect beast and was about to leave, and a slight sound suddenly rang out.
Crack! Crack!
The sound was very light, but it was extremely clear on this quiet night, as if something was breaking out.
It's that weird insect beast egg!
Qi Yuan was shocked, and the area detection opened, and soon he saw an egg covered with cracks in the belly of a corpse of an insect beast.
Crack! Crack!
The cracks continued to spread on the eggshell, and soon Qi Yuan saw a pink tentacle that broke the eggshell and stretched out from it.
What is this thing?
The force field that originally enveloped the core of the insect egg had quietly dissipated as the eggshell broke, and Qi Yuan clearly saw the insect beast cub inside.
It has no limbs, and it can't even distinguish its head and torso. It can only see a few wet pink tentacles entangled together and constantly wriggling.
It's a bit like an octopus in the sea, but it's also specious.
Just as Qi Yuan was thinking about what the tentacle monster was in front of him, Seraph finally remembered this little guy who was almost forgotten.
The seraph's tongue stuck out, and suddenly a blurred body passed through the corpse of the insect beast, and the tentacle monster that had just hatched inside actually merged with each other.
When Seraphite appeared in front of Qi Yuan again, the tentacle monster inside the corpse of the insect beast had disappeared, and the black floral skirt on Seraphite was gone, and instead it was a red and black Lolita long skirt.
Seeing Seraphite who had changed his clothes, Qi Yuan was obviously stunned for a moment.
Such an egg that is suspected to be left by an elite insect beast hatched a piece of clothing?
Soon, Qi Yuan realized that the Lolita on Seraph was not a real dress, just like Seraph was not a human little girl who looked like.
Moreover, this dress seems to be a seraphic body!
When Seraphite was wearing this red and black Lolita long dress, Qi Yuan clearly felt the fatal threat, which meant that wearing this Lolita seraphite could burst out with strength that crushed himself.
"How much strength can you exert now?" Qi Yuan asked.
Seraph's hands happily stretched out his hands, and ten white and tender fingers shook hard in front of Qi Yuan's eyes.
"I can play all my strength!"
Qi Yuan also laughed. Although the 70% Seraphite is also very powerful, the full-body Seraphite is obviously more reliable.
With the characteristics of Seraph, if you encounter the fourth-level elite insect beast again, you can already try to make a tough move!
If you can defeat a fourth-level elite insect beast and then enslave it, even if you can only enslave one, it will be more powerful than enslaving ten third-level insect beasts!
"Let's go, go to the next place."
Qi Yuan rode on the insect beast, and Seraph looked around and sat directly above the insect beast's head, then controlled a group of polluted beasts to start moving forward.
After the darkness came, there were obviously fewer insects and beasts moving, and there were quite a few polluted beasts wandering, but their strength was very average. Along the way, I didn’t see a heart-eroding person. Even if I encountered some polluted beasts, there was no battle breaking out.
The existence of Seraph, coupled with the weird baby on Qi Yuan, was enough to make these guys with mucus in their minds take the initiative to retreat.
In addition to these polluted beasts without any reason, Qi Yuan also discovered a smart polluter from afar. The other party was unexpectedly keen. As soon as he appeared in his sight, he immediately turned around and ran away without giving Qi Yuan a chance to attack.
Controlling polluted beasts without wisdom is much easier than enslaving insect beasts. Along the way, all the insects and beasts encountered become Seraphim, and the polluted beasts became part of the team. When Qi Yuan arrived at the fourth sign-in point, the polluted beasts controlled by Seraphim had reached more than seventy, but there were not many polluted beasts in the third level, most of them were first- and second-level polluted beasts, and there were also several ragged human polluters.
The huge team of polluting beasts stopped beside a ruin. Compared with the relatively well-preserved old city, the ruins in front of them have been completely dilapidated. Only through some rusty metal leaking in the air can it be seen that there were buildings from the old era here.
The sign-in point is in the center of this ruin. Qi Yuan can not only sense its existence, but also vaguely see the light emitted by the sign-in beam.
Looking at the sign-in point near in front of him, Qi Yuan did not enter rashly. With the urinary nature of the talent tree, it was absolutely impossible for him to easily obtain any talent point.
The calmer the sign-in point, the more deadly danger is hidden behind it.
This is true for strange forests, and so is the lakes entrenched with fish monsters.
It is obviously just a second-level sign-in point, but it is in danger of crushing the third-level. This difficulty setting completely exceeds the limit that second-level abilities can bear. Even if you have the peak third-level strength, stepping into it alone will only become a delivery dish.
What kind of danger is hidden in this seemingly peaceful ruin?
If it is the same as the lake in front, there is another fourth-level hidden inside...
Qi Yuan sighed and shook his head. If the average difficulty of the second-level sign-in point is the enemy of the fourth level, then the third-level sign-in point will probably be hard-steeled level 5. This kind of sign-in difficulty that spans two levels, if the purpose is to make yourself stronger, it will be wise to extinguish!
Qi Yuan took out the insect beast detector and tested it, but found that he was surrounded by light spots, which were polluted beasts surrounding him.
And in the ruins, it was indeed pitch black, as if there was an empty city inside, without any life.
Empty city?
It doesn't exist!
There must be some kind of danger that the insect and beast detector cannot perceive in the ruins.
Qi Yuan tried to use area detection for a while, but did not find any hidden enemies.
However, Qi Yuan did not take it lightly. Compared with those known dangers, unknown dangers are the real dangers.
At Qi Yuan's instructions, Seraphim controlled a group of polluted beasts to walk into the ruins.
The scope of this ruin is not small. Although it is not as large as the old city, it is several times larger than the previous lake.
It is hard to see the end at a glance among the ruins of a piece of wall.
The polluter wandered aimlessly in the ruins, and soon walked out of the range displayed by the insect beast detector and out of Qi Yuan's sight.
The ruins were as calm as usual, without any abnormal movement, but Qi Yuan felt a little strange. This ruin was too calm. The wilderness of the new era was full of dangers. The calmer the place, the more deadly the danger hidden behind it would be.
At this moment, the Seraph's eyes, which controlled the polluting beast, showed a hint of doubt.
"What happened inside? Did you encounter danger or attack?" Qi Yuan asked.
Seraphine shook her head and said softly:
"They did not encounter enemies, but they were in a state that was wrong, and seemed to be getting weaker and weaker."
An invisible enemy?
Qi Yuan frowned slightly.
If it is an enemy that is on the surface, it is still easy to deal with. With Seraph's current strength, it should be enough to fight head-on, but this invisible enemy makes it a little difficult for him to attack.
"Let them come back!" Qi Yuan said.
Seraph's head nodded, and was about to summon the polluted beast wandering in the ruins, she suddenly felt that the weakest polluted beast suddenly disappeared.
There was no enemy, no danger, and it disappeared suddenly.
Before Seraph's reaction could be realized, what had just happened, the second polluted beast suddenly disappeared again.
Next is the third head.
Seraphite told his discovery, and Qi Yuan's eyes narrowed.
"Let them speed up and return immediately!"
Seraph's angel nodded and began to order the polluted beast inside to return quickly. Starting from the disappearance of the first polluted beast, four polluted beasts had disappeared backwards in less than half a minute.
If this continues, in less than a minute, more than 20 polluted beasts entering the ruins will soon be gone.
Perhaps because of his weakness, the speed of the polluted beasts that stepped into the ruins slowed down a lot. After the Seraph’s order to return quickly, more than 20 polluted beasts wandering inside mysteriously disappeared a few more. After more than ten seconds, a shriveled polluted beast appeared in Qi Yuan’s sight.
The polluted beast that was originally a third-level foul, has now become a candle in the wind, and seems to fall down at any time.
If it were not for the blessing of the data center, Qi Yuan would hardly recognize this polluted beast. Its body shape was at least several times larger than it is now when it stepped into the ruins.
After only a few minutes of stepping into the ruins, how could it be turned into such a haggard appearance, as if it had been squeezed out?
The return of the polluted beast seemed to trigger some kind of danger, and the polluted beast's weakness began to accelerate.
What is hidden in this ruin? Why is it that even the polluted beast unwilling to let go?
Looking at the increasingly weak polluted beasts, Qi Yuan seemed to hear their desperate cry in their hearts.
there is none left!
There is really nothing!
Nothing left!
This extremely weak third-level polluted beast, after continuing to move forward for a distance under Qi Yuan's gaze, finally fell weakly into the ruins. It was like a piece of decayed dead tree, and finally failed to resist the erosion of wind and sand. It collapsed to the ground, stirring up a circle of drifting dust.
After the polluted beast falls, its weak vitality is like a candle fire extinguishing, and its shriveled body weathers at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turns into a pile of inconspicuous dust.
"The polluted beasts inside have all disappeared!" Seraph said softly as he stared at the pile of dust.
To be continued...
