Gu Song was beaten until he was limping, his head was bruised and his face was swollen. If Su Wen hadn't been unable to stand it anymore and gave some words of advice to Hao Yu and others to use their magical powers, Gu Song, who was already seriously injured, might have
Beaten to death.
When Su Wen saw Gu Song being dragged away by his companions, he sighed repeatedly: "It's not easy for this person... to be able to survive to this day in Guixu."
Ren Zhengan chuckled and sighed, then he sighed and said: "We are in trouble..."
Hidden dangers in Anranju soon emerged.
The beast tide had just appeared, and the black matter in the cracks in the ground began to show signs of disappearing. Although this process would last for a while before disappearing completely, An Ranju's defensive formation could not last that long.
If the absorbed black matter does not meet the demand for maintaining the formation, the formation will gradually disintegrate and collapse, and will eventually be discovered by the surrounding giant earthworms.
"So, are we ready to give up here?"
Su Wen felt a little sorry.
He spent a lot of energy and effort in building An Ran Residence. Seeing it destroyed by the beast tide, he naturally felt pity in his heart.
"Absolutely."
Ren Zhengxin calculated for a while and came to the result: "It can only last for three days at most, or even that long."
"I'll go tell them."
Su Wen sighed at the backs of Hao Yu and his group: "I hope they can recover from their injuries and evacuate to a safer place..."
"I hope..."
Ren Zhengan nodded.
It's just that he didn't say anything. According to some records of historians, once the beast tide begins, the extraordinary beings who have not been able to safely evacuate back to the ruins within twenty-four hours have a strength lower than sequence five, and it is difficult to protect their lives.
Of course, there are also many low-sequence extraordinary beings who took the risk to be promoted at such a critical moment, and finally completed the ritual and became stronger.
It's just that the proportion of such extraordinary people is not large.
Su Wen originally thought that the beast tide consisted of a single species, consisting of iron-shelled beasts and giant earthworms.
Later, he realized he was wrong.
How wrong.
A steady stream of beasts appeared collectively according to different ethnic groups, and their numbers were counted in the tens of thousands. Of course, this was only the beast tide that passed through Anranju. Guixu, how many of these ethnic groups appeared in various places, only the devil knows.
Su Wen had made statistics in his mind. There were seventeen kinds of strange beasts that Ren Zhengan could name, and there were as many as six or seven kinds that he couldn't name.
Especially after seeing the appearance of a strange beast that looked like a worm but was extremely fast, Ren Zhengan was a little nervous.
What impressed Su Wen most deeply was a creature that looked like a lobster but stood and walked.
Ren Zhengan said that they are not alien beasts, at least they cannot be simply classified as alien beasts. They have intelligence similar to humans, and it is more appropriate to regard them as a kind of indigenous people, just like the Dagon tribe and the fish-headed people.
Ren Zhengan calls him the "lobster man".
The human body of the lobster has a carapace with a metallic luster, two legs, four arms, and two claws like pincers. A small number of lobsters also have swords on their heads. The longer the swords are, the sharper they are, which means that they are lobsters.
The stronger the combat effectiveness.
Su Wen even saw the scene where the lobster man drove the beasts around.
This also fully demonstrates that the lobster people not only have considerable wisdom, but also control the methods of controlling the alien beasts, and are even the reasons for the emergence of the beast tide.
Su Wen even saw that when Ren Zhengan saw the lobster man appear, the look in his eyes was hot.
Apparently, Su Wen realized that Ren Zhengan wanted to use lobsters as an entry point to find the reason for the return of the beasts in the ruins.
Sure enough, not long after a wave of lobster men appeared, Ren Zhengan left the formation, broke into a group of lobster men, and killed everyone. After killing most of the group of lobster men, he captured a few and brought them back to An Ranju.
What surprised Su Wen was that after being captured, the lobster people did not have the consciousness to act as prisoners. Before Ren Zhengan started interrogating them, their mung bean-sized eyes suddenly turned around a few times and bubbles came out of their mouths.
, fell to the ground, convulsed for a while and then died.
"……What's happening here?"
Su Wen was shocked when he saw the lobster man's body on the ground.
"Did they kill themselves?"
"……I guess so."
Ren Zhengan is not sure either.
He also knew the information about the Lobster Man from historical materials. The previous records were unclear, and it was difficult for him to figure out what happened to the Lobster Man.
"Have you seen the blood?"
Ren Zhengan just thought about it and asked Dagon to place several corpses in a pharmacy. This was the place where Ren Zhengan used to prepare the secret medicine. There was a large test bed.
Seeing Ren Zhengan rolling up his sleeves and his eyes shining, Su Wen was startled: "You, you want to dissect them?"
"nature."
Ren Zhengan looked calm: "How else can we understand their causes of death, weaknesses, and vitals?"
"But you..."
Su Wen cast a suspicious look.
Is it appropriate for a historian to do such a job?
"One of the pillars of my path as a historian is the physician."
Ren Zhengan glanced at Su Wen.
"Damn it...he tricked me."
Su Wen muttered in his heart.
He didn't expect that Ren Zhengan was actually one of the top five medical experts. He had never heard of him talking about it before!
When it comes to the secrets of extraordinary people's power, Su Wen is not easy to find out. He nodded and said he understood. But he thought about it and asked: "Old Ren, cough... Brother Ren is awesome... Do you know how to use poison?
Will it be very powerful?"
He suddenly thought of Boss Gan, the only boss who participated in the siege of Nan Gezi in Iron Dome Fortress and survived.
Su Wen was deeply impressed by Boss Gan's ability to use poison. Since Ren Zheng'an is a fifth-level physician, his ability to use poison should not be weak. Should he ask him for some poison for self-defense?
"What are you thinking about..."
Ren Zhengan rolled his eyes: "I follow the medical path, not the poison path. Poison is just a branch of medicine. How could I spend time studying those unpopular things... Hey, what are you doing?"
While talking, Ren Zhengan saw Su Wen put on a white linen gown and an off-white linen apron in front of him. He also hung a piece of white cotton cloth over his mouth and nose. He took out gloves from his bag and put them on his hands.
.
"What are you doing?
Ren Zhengan was stunned.
"Didn't you talk about the dissecting lobster man...you don't have such a thing?"
Su Wen was a little surprised.
When he was at Qingshan Academy, he began to try to prepare secret medicines and prepared such a set of things for himself, but there were not many opportunities to use them. After entering Guixu, various dangers and accidents emerged one after another, and there was no chance of using them.
"..."
Ren Zhengan scoffed.
"Professional, this is called professional!"
Su Wen made a clang sound, and took out a bundle of scalpels, hemostatic forceps and other tools from his treasure bag. These tools were what he thought he could do when he was injured, and he could perform an operation on himself to the best of his ability.
He didn't have a chance to use it. After all, with his limited medical skills, he could perform a knife, but he might not have the chance to give himself stitches.
What Su Wen regretted was that the surgical tools he prepared lacked those large dissection knives. After all, he had never been mentally prepared for this in the past.
"You should also wear one...what if the lobster people are poisonous and have enhanced pollution properties? It would be too dangerous to come into direct contact with their flesh and blood!"
Su Wen thrust a set of coats into Ren Zhengan's hands.
"Fancy things... I don't need... hum... Hey, this knife is pretty good..."
Ren Zhengan reluctantly put on the coat that Su Wen took out. He felt good about it. After getting the lancet, he began to praise it. After all, he often used knives. As soon as he got started, he knew that the knife made by Su Wen was very suitable.
Make cuts on the body.
As for the gloves... Ren Zhengan was reluctant to wear them. His reason was very simple. He had extraordinary power and could not be harmed by the toxins that might exist on the Lobster Man, nor could it be polluted. If it existed, it could be harmed.
His strength is the same with or without gloves.
"I hope this world is free of viruses and germs..."
Su Wen just sneered in his heart. Of course, this is impossible. We can only hope that Ren Zhengan's own cultivation is profound and no viruses or bacteria can affect him.
Under Su Wen's persuasion, Ren Zhengan finally put on a mask. After all, Ren Zhengan felt that he could bear the general smell of fish, and he could block the smell by holding his breath. But Su Wen thought that what happened next
During the time, every bit of extraordinary power should not be wasted, and he successfully convinced him.
"The lobster man...is really a lobster..."
Su Wen was helping Ren Zhengan make autopsy records.
He soon discovered that the Lobster Man looked very much like a lobster. If the Lobster Man's limbs, except for its claws, were not very similar to those of humans, he would have directly classified it as a "walking lobster."
The carapace on the lobster man's body is actually made of metal. After testing, Su Wen discovered that the blue-gray carapace is the most fragile. Swords can leave scars on it, but the pure blue carapace is tougher and is not easy to kill with a sword.
Leave scars.
After comparing the carapace of the two types of lobster men, Su Wen came to the conclusion that the strength of the lobster men can be inferred from their carapace. But among the various colors of lobster men, which one is the weakest and which one is the smallest?
The strongest, I haven’t been able to make a conclusion yet.
After all, the lobster men brought back by Ren Zhengan only had these two categories, and there was no way to make more references.
As the dissection progressed, Su Wen also learned the cause of death of these lobster people.
It seems that the lobster people cannot exist in an environment within normal order. They must be ravaged by the beast tide and distorted by pollution before the lobster people can adapt and survive in this kind of area.
An Ranju is protected and isolated by the formation, and normal rules and order are still maintained inside, so the lobster man is as if he is soaked in poisonous gas and will die soon.
"These guys... their flaws are obvious."
Su Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
In his opinion, lobstermen who have certain intelligence and can march on a large scale are much more terrifying than giant earthworms and iron-shelled insects. The tide of beasts will subside, but once the lobstermen adapt to the environment, they are likely to take over.
This place will never leave again. It is a long-term threat to the extraordinary beings in the ruins.
