"This is exactly the same as the zombie dog in Resident Evil. Its vitality has long been cut off, but it is driven by some kind of power."
The strange scene in front of him made Li Mu not dare to neglect. He raised the Jueying Sword and wanted to kill this strange dog first, even though it had already died once.
Suddenly, as if the zombie dog smelled the anger on Li Mu, its original stiff steps disappeared in an instant, and its three legs exerted force and rushed directly towards Li Mu.
This sudden change startled Li Mu, and he dodged sideways to avoid the zombie dog's attack, but at the same time, the two also exchanged positions.
Lin Qingzhu, who was originally waiting in the distance, saw Li Mu suddenly fighting with the strange native dog. His heart tightened, and he unsheathed the long sword in his hand and joined the battle.
"Qingzhu, be careful of this dog. It is already dead, but it must have been controlled by something. Now it only has the feeling of anger and no pain. Just attack its head directly. Also, don't be bitten by it.
.”
Li Mu had already defaulted to treating the dog in front of him as a zombie in the movie of his previous life, and gave Lin Qingzhu instructions on how to attack and avoid being bitten by this zombie dog.
Both of them were monks with golden elixirs. They were shocked by this weird zombie dog at first, but once they took action seriously, it was obvious that this native dog with its instincts could not pose a threat to Li Mu and the others.
After once again escaping the zombie dog's bite, the Jueying Sword flashed with light, and the controlled strange dog's head was immediately removed, and its body fell to the ground.
"Brother Mu, this dog really doesn't have a drop of blood in its body. What controls it so that it can still attack."
Looking at the corpse of the zombie dog on the ground, Lin Qingzhu also frowned. Unexpectedly, he and Li Mu had just left Qinglan City and encountered such a strange thing on the way to the first target city.
"We can't stay in this village any longer. We set off overnight. If I guess correctly, the villagers in this village may have suffered the same accident as this dog."
The uneasiness in Li Mu's heart became more and more intense. Those blood-red eyes reminded him of the violent Fang Yan and the beast tamer before. His intuition told him that there must be some kind of connection between the strange experiences he encountered.
"Brother Mu! Look, there is something crawling out of the dog's ears?"
Following Lin Qingzhu's screams, Li Mu cast his gaze at the zombie dog's head on the ground, and saw a bloody strange insect crawling out of the dog's ear. It had a typical worm appearance, but with a blood-like red light.
The body wrapped around it looked so strange in the dark night.
The strange insect wriggled its way out of the dog's head bit by bit. Li Mu did not hesitate and swung out a sword energy, directly smashing the bloody strange insect to pieces.
"It seems that it is the culprit that controls this dog's corpse. I just don't know what it is. It would be great if Xiaoyu is here. She reads a lot, so she must know what kind of insect it is."
Taking out the fire stick from the warehouse system, Li Mu cut down some more branches, and then directly set fire to the corpse of the zombie dog to prevent it from being controlled by any strange insects again.
Lin Qingzhu had been hiding far away for a long time. As expected, even if she had reached the level of Alchemy Realm, fear of insects was still a common problem among girls.
After this experience, neither of them felt sleepy. Lin Qingzhu also fully agreed with Li Mu's suggestion of traveling all night. She no longer dared to sleep in this village anymore, for fear that this red figure would emerge from a dark corner again.
Strange insect.
After coming out of this strange village in the mountains, the two of them continued westward along the mountain road, passing through two canyons and entering a forest. According to the map, there should be a relatively large village at the end of the forest.
"The village in front is the largest village in Wolong Mountain. It is also the starting point for many monks and herb collectors to enter the mountains. Including the villagers, the number should be at least a hundred."
Lin Qingzhu took the map to finally confirm the location of the target village, and also informed Li Mu of the situation of this large mountain village.
At this time, the sky has turned a fish belly white, and above the horizon in the distance, a morning sun peeks out. After the storm last night, both Li and Mu felt that this ray of morning sunshine was so warm.
"Oh my god, why is there still no one! What happened?"
The two of them stood in the open space in the center of the village, their scalps numb for a while. This village that should have been bustling with activity turned out to be just as empty as the previous strange village.
"Last month, a team from the family passed by this village on its way to a mission. Before setting off, I specifically asked them about this place. At that time, there were at least a hundred people living in this village. How could there be no one there?
"
Not only was Lin Qingzhu frightened by this horrifying scene, but even Li Mu felt chills running down his spine. Would these hundreds of people just disappear?
What kind of accident can make a village disappear from the world, and even the monks who pass by with cultivation disappear together? What is the connection between this bizarre empty village and the strange red insect?
All of this shrouded Li Mu and Lin Qingzhu like a fog, but they were helpless and helpless.
"Let's search this village first. With so many people disappearing together, there will always be some clues left behind. We can't keep being led around. If we don't find out the secrets of these empty villages, it will only become more dangerous."
Lin Qingzhu also nodded and agreed. Now all the mysteries have not been solved. If you continue to wander blindly, you may really encounter dangers that you cannot handle.
At least, these missing villagers and travelers must be found first.
This village was much larger than the previous one, but Li Mu and Li Mu did not dare to move separately. Instead, they started searching in each house one after another.
The half-eaten food on the table, the bucket dumped by the well, and the farm tools scattered on the ground all showed that the accident happened very quickly, but there was not a trace of blood in the entire village, and it didn't look like a robber or bandit.
attack.
Li Mu carefully checked the situation of each house, trying to find any clues, but all the traces seemed to confirm that these villagers left spontaneously, which made the two of them even more confused.
Is it really possible to get hundreds of people to leave their homes together without any signs of fighting?
After two hours of exploration, Li Mu and Li Mu finally arrived at the last building. This was the only two-story building in the village. It looked like it should be a place for travelers in the village to stay.
"This is the only one left. If we still can't find any clues, we can only leave here first, return to Shuanglin Hena along the same route, and then find other routes to the next city."
The two looked at each other and were silent for a moment. The long running and the endless strange things had made the two people very tired. Although they relied on the natural secret to keep their breath stable, the more unknown it was, the more frightening it was. If
If we don't find any clues, I might really have to find another way to continue this experience.
"Let's go in first. My intuition tells me that if there is a clue, it must be here."
The uneasiness that had been growing in Li Mu's heart since the previous empty village became stronger and stronger, and Li Mu felt that he might have been standing in front of the truth.
Taking one step forward, the Jueying Sword opened the way, and the two of them stepped into this somewhat gloomy small building.
