Faced with Tang Fei's loud questioning, Meng Fan chose to remain silent.
This woman was very emotional right now, and it would be of little use to tell her. Moreover, the information she had just received from the Evolution System involved a big secret. Meng Fan had not yet made up his mind whether to tell her or not.
On the contrary, Tang Xin, who had just woken up, took the initiative to hold Tang Fei's hand, smiled softly, and struggled to open his mouth and said, "Xiao Fei, after all, you helped us, how can you be so impulsive?"
Compared with Tang Fei's coldness and arrogance, as her sister, Tang Xin appears to be more gentle. Even though her physical condition is very bad, she never forgets to take care of the emotions of those around her.
"Sister, what have you been through? Why did everything go well suddenly become like this?" Tang Fei looked distressed, holding Tang Xin's withered arm and crying.
Hearing this, Tang Xin's originally gentle eyes were quickly covered with a hint of fear, he opened his mouth and said with great difficulty,
"Just...just before I fell into coma, I chased a few zombies and entered a very mysterious place. There...it was particularly dangerous. There were many monsters I had never seen before."
Tang Xin had never seen such a weird and scary environment. Even though she had become a superpower at that time, she was still trembling with fear from that place. Later, she encountered a kind of person whose body was dark and seemed like thick fog.
A ghost, and was accidentally bitten by a ghost.
At that time, Tang Xin was in a panic, struggled desperately, and managed to escape from that ghost place. But before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she felt that the place where she had been bitten was particularly numb, and then she became light-headed and fell into a coma...
Talking about this experience, Tang Xin's face always looked very nervous. Excessive fear made her body tremble constantly, her face became pale and weak, and her dilated pupils were full of horror.
"I... I still haven't seen clearly what the thing that bit me looks like. Its body is black, like a ghost. No matter how I attack, I can't hurt it..."
"Sister, please stop talking. Save your energy and rest for a while. I will immediately notify dad to come and see you."
Tang Fei was also surprised, but looking at Tang Xin's angry expression, she didn't bother to ask more questions and hurriedly ran out to call someone.
Meng Fan put on a thoughtful look, silently squatting next to Tang Xin, looking at her cheeks that were trembling slightly with fear, and asked in a low voice,
"What kind of creature is that?"
"I...I don't know, I really can't explain."
Tang Xin was still trembling, with countless nervousness written on his pale face. He said in a small voice, "I only remember stabbing it with a dagger many times. I thought I could hurt it, but the dagger directly hit it."
After passing through its body, the monster has no entity at all, just like a fog, and there is no way to capture it with ordinary attacks."
Meng Fan thought for a moment and then continued to ask, "Then where exactly did you meet that thing? Can you still remember it?"
Tang Xin stopped talking, closed his eyes with difficulty, and fell into thinking for a while. After a long time, he said, "It was on the outskirts of Nancheng City, near a very remote chemical plant. I accidentally broke in there while chasing zombies.
Yes, later, a black wall appeared in that place, and I didn’t know what happened, but I immediately passed through the wall and fell in.”
ah?
Meng Fan was stunned. He looked at Tang Xin's body and said to himself, how could you, a living person, penetrate a wall directly?
But Tang Xin's expression was so serious that it didn't look fake at all. Meng Fan thought for a long time, and finally he could only nod silently, stood up and said, "You should have a good rest, I will find a way to cure you.
"
After saying that, Meng Fan left the room thoughtfully.
After a while, Tang Fei also barged in with her father, who had come after hearing the news. The father and daughter had no time to say hello to Meng Fan, so they both hurried into the room.
Meng Fan sat outside doing nothing, thinking about Tang Xin's words while immersing himself in the system, "What do you think the origin of that ghost-like creature is?"
The evolution system replied, "It's not certain yet, but based on the patient's physical condition and her own description, I judge that the thing that bit her should belong to a member of the ghost tribe."
Meng Fan was greatly surprised, "What are ghosts? Do ghosts really exist in this world?"
"You are wrong. The ghost tribe is not a real ghost, but a strange ghost-like creature. This thing is between a spirit body and a semi-spirit body. It is difficult for ordinary physical attacks to cause damage to it. Usually
Only attacks with energy attached can cause serious damage to it."
The system explained, "In addition, in addition to their special body structure, the ghost race also has a weird way of reproduction."
This kind of monster is neither viviparous nor egg-laying. Instead, when its life span is approaching, it chooses a parasitic target, splits its own energy body, and injects it into the target.
After that, this split energy body will continue to be parasitic on that person, gradually strengthening itself by absorbing his flesh, blood and energy.
When the split body absorbs enough nutrients and energy, it can give birth to a new ghost clan, and the "vessel" originally used to cultivate it will become the food of this ghost clan and be eaten completely by it.
"There are such weird creatures!"
Hearing this, Meng Fan couldn't help but feel chills on his back, and even the hairs stood up.
"So, it was the ghost clan's mother body that bit Tang Xin. The reason why this thing bit Tang Xin was to inject its split body into Tang Xin's body. Once the split body absorbs enough nutrients, it will break apart and die.
Come out and grow into another ghost clan?"
"Yes!"
The evolution system said, "Fortunately, as a human, Tang Xin has too little energy for the split body to absorb, so this split body has not been conceived for a long time. As long as you can find its mother body and eliminate it,
, this guy parasitic in Tang Xin’s body will also be destroyed.”
Before the split body of the ghost clan completely "breaks out of the cocoon", it is not considered an independent individual. There is a certain connection with the mother body. Once the mother body is destroyed, the split body will also disappear.
Meng Fan wondered, "Why must we kill the mother body? Can't we find a way to directly force this split body out of Tang Xin's body?"
The evolutionary system said, "You currently do not have this ability at all, and the split body has stayed in Tang Xin's body for too long and has almost merged into one body. Unless the patient's life and death are disregarded, she will be eliminated together."
Meng Fan was speechless and said with a wry smile, "Then how powerful is the mother body of this ghost clan? What level of combat power is it?"
The evolution system said, "It is not yet certain. The ghost tribe is a huge group. Ghost tribes at different levels have completely different combat capabilities. If you are lucky, the mother body of this ghost tribe will only have second-level combat power. If you are not lucky, you
There is a possibility that you will encounter a third-level ghost general or even a fourth-level ghost king, and you will have no choice but to wait for death."
"So dangerous?"
Meng Fan's eyes widened, and cold sweat instantly flowed down his forehead.
With his current combat power, even with the blessing of weapons, he can only kill the most common second-order monsters. Once he encounters a higher-ranking second-order monster, the only thing he can do is to escape.
.
As for existences of the third level or above, I am afraid that Meng Fan will not even have a chance to escape, and will be reduced to rubbish in an instant.
