It's miserable!

In front of Yan Ling and Zhou Zhifeng, what caught their eyes was a twisted body with a strange black slime attached to it.

Having just walked out of the silent mist deep in the forest, Yan Ling couldn't help but feel sick despite experiencing countless battlefields and deaths, and even facing the equally twisted and hideous Lord of the Dragons just now.

"Hmm!"

Feeling a burning churn in his stomach, Yan Ling hurriedly put the box aside, covered his mouth and vomited.

First the clear liquid he had just drunk, then the remaining red and green food residues in his stomach, and even vomiting until the end, as the yellow gastric juice and bile gushed out, Yan Ling could no longer feel anything in his stomach.

"It's miserable, well, miserable. Zhou Zhifeng looked at the body in front of him, and he couldn't help the churning in his stomach.

Unfortunately, his right hand could not move much, and he could only use his left hand to hold on to the trees and vines beside him, barely vomiting.

Little did they know that the Imperial soldiers who rushed to the Lost City in the face of danger did not actually die in the air or at the hands of the Lord of the Dragons.

They didn't know if they had the hidden power of magic or other technology, or if the Lord of the Dragons hadn't paid attention to them, and near the small lake in the forest, there were all broken planes and broken bodies that were intertwined with red and black.

Holding back the feeling of gagging, Yan Ling still covered his mouth and nose and looked towards the nearest body.

"They seem to have been attacked by something. Yan Ling said with difficulty, just standing in place and watching, not daring to touch anything.

The soldier of the Imperial Sky Army in front of him remembered that when the Little Emperor opened the Dragon Gate, he should have been the one standing behind Yan Ling.

But for some reason, at this time, in addition to the black slime like asphalt, his body was covered with black slime like asphalt, and there was also some white goo that had been dyed blood red attached to his mutilated scarlet arm.

However, this is not the point, the point is that the soldier's head, which looks several times larger than the average person, as if it has been injected with some unknown liquid, his eyes, nostrils, and even the ears are flowing green substances.

Just as Yan Ling was thinking about how the soldier died, Zhou Zhifeng exclaimed to him:

"Captain, what do you think this is? How can there be this here?"

Yan Ling said a little strangely:

"What's that?"

After saying that, he turned his head to look, and a bug about the size of a palm that he didn't know what subject it belonged to, entered his field of vision.

At this moment, the pitch-black insect was crouching on the body of another Imperial soldier, not knowing what it was doing.

But as Yan Ling's gaze and the continuous search of memories in his mind, his facial expression gradually changed from confusion at the beginning to a kind of fear.

"Captain, should we get out of here quickly?" Zhou Zhifeng noticed a hint of strangeness in the surrounding environment.

Hearing this, Yan Ling finally came back to his senses, hurriedly got up and nodded, and said:

"We've got to go, you're right. And this black bug, if I'm not mistaken, is the guardian of the core of the Lost City mentioned later in "The Dark Book". But it's still some distance from the core, how can it be here?

"Has anyone already opened the Lost City?" Zhou Zhifeng added.

The order given to them by the Little Emperor at first was to use the Dragon Realm Stone to open the Dragon Gate at the core of the Lost City, so that it could permanently hover in the middle of the detectable sky, so as to become the second springboard for the Dragon Clan to enter this world, and cooperate with the opening of the Dragon Gate on the ground to completely and successfully release the Dragon Clan.

But if someone enters early and causes some damage to the core location, the consequences are unimaginable.

"Who could it be?" Yan Ling thought, forgetting to leave here for a moment.

Just as he was thinking, the black insect got up with its wings slightly in front of them, and about two meters in the air, it suddenly burst open, spilling a pitch-black liquid downward.

But the popping sound was so faint that the two in the middle of the mind were unaware of the anomaly.

After a full minute or two, Yan Ling ended his short and useless brainstorming in the headache caused by the whole confusion, and chose to take out the Dragon Realm Stone as the basis for his next move.

"Captain, what are you going to do now when you take out the Dragon Realm Stone?" Zhou Zhifeng asked.

"I thought about it, let's use it to test the integrity of the core area first. If the light of the Dragon Realm Stone is weakened, then the core area must have been invaded, and if its light is still so bright, we can find more clues here. After all, we still don't have any idea of the sacrifice of so many imperial soldiers in front of us, so naturally there is no need to leave first. If there is any conspiracy waiting for us inside, isn't it just throwing ourselves into the net?" Yan Ling thought about it and said, still injecting the flame demon source power in his body into it, and threw it into the air violently.

It's not much different from just now, and the Dragon Realm Stone is still hovering in the air halfway through the throw,

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

Unlike last time, this time, the high-speed rotation of the Dragon Realm Stone was also mixed with obvious sounds.

But fortunately, the rotation and sound did not deprive any of the red light in the Dragon Realm Stone, but as the amplitude of the rotation increased, the red light in it became brighter and brighter.

"It should be fine. We don't have to go to the core for now. Yan Ling said with a sigh of relief.

"Yes, Captain. Zhou Zhifeng said with a little imperceptible gloom, his eyes looked at the location of the lake not far away.

After waiting for about a minute, the spinning Dragon Realm Stone gradually lost its strength without more supply of demonic source power, and fell vertically from mid-air.

But Yan Ling's fear and doubt did not ease in the slightest.

In the face of the one or two dozen warplanes that fell in this intertwined realm of vines and trees, as well as the bodies of imperial soldiers scattered around him, Yan Ling couldn't mention the confidence he had always had in his heart.

Although he can disguise himself as a pure military general in front of the little emperor, in the face of fear, all the disguises in his heart will seem so ridiculous and vulnerable.

He knew this very well, so even if the current situation was extremely unfavorable to the current Emperor Long Qing, he still had to observe and collect some possible clues to complete the Imperial Long Qing as perfectly as possible, as well as the little desire in his heart.

While walking, Yan Ling was also covering his nose and observing the surroundings.

In addition to the disgusting corpses of the soldiers, and the empty shells of the few black bugs scattered around, there were two flaming combat planes that had not yet been doused by the rain, and those that were in a state of dismemberment.

"Captain, it's like they've been through a battle. Zhou Zhifeng looked at these scattered and complex scenes and analyzed.

"Like, it feels more like fighting for something. But I am more reluctant to believe that Imperial soldiers would fight each other for some benefit, and I am more convinced that they choose to fight the enemy for what they protect. Yan Ling said, still walking through it.

"But look around here, Captain, we don't find anyone else or anything. At best, those few bugs. You know, under our current Imperial technology, dealing with such a few bugs, two firebolts can be solved, and there is no need for a battle of this scale. Zhou Zhifeng continued to analyze.

"Could it be that there are monsters similar to the Lord of the Dragons here?" Yan Ling said, thinking for a few more seconds before shaking his head, "Although I am reluctant to believe this, I don't believe that our army can be so vulnerable. Even if it's a monster. ”

Looking at Yan Ling's somewhat annoyed remarks, Zhou Zhifeng didn't feel nervous, but wanted to laugh a little.

After all, in terms of information asymmetry, he had more information, and Yan Ling, thinking that he had the ability to control all this, was still the only two of them left.

Zhou Zhifeng smiled, slowly uncovered the strap on his right arm with his left hand, stretched out his hand to his waist, and held the firearm he carried with him. But in his mind, the surface work still has to be done, and the normal analysis cannot be stopped:

"It doesn't look like it's a monster," he said, pointing to the ground with his left hand, "If it's a monster, there should be footprints on the ground." ”

Yan Ling looked at the ground under his guidance, and did not pay any attention to Zhou Zhifeng.

"What if it's a flying monster or a guardian of the Lost City?" Yan Ling wondered, looking up at the top of the verdant space.

He could feel that although there was a semi-enclosed space of trees and vines above, the heavy rain seemed to have abated a lot.

Even the water that had to drip through the cracks in the plants was almost gone.

"You see, there is no sign of destruction on the top of the head. Zhou Zhifeng replied.

"yes, that's the last thing I want to admit is the last thing I want to admit. Yan Ling said, bowing his head and thinking.

"What facts?" Zhou Zhifeng chose to ask, but his right hand was pulling the trigger of the fire gun and quietly took it to the front of his body.

"It's not a monster, but these bodies are in such a posture. That can only be the case: these soldiers, because of some interest or simply a difference of opinion, choose to attack each other after arriving here first. Even, maybe they were already attacking each other before they landed, which is why some of the fighters were suspended from the vines. Yan Ling said, pointing in the direction above his head.

Because of the rain, the fighter plane had no flames at this time, but the black smoke and broken fuselage seemed to confirm his idea.

"Well, that's how it should be. Zhou Zhifeng pretended to agree.

Then, the rest of the people who could still fight, and a fierce battle broke out here. So there are still some soldiers who only have blood on them, but nothing else. And those soldiers who were covered in pitch-black matter must have touched some mechanism near the core area not far away after the battle, causing the bugs to attract the guards there. After being infected by them, naturally no one survived. ”

"The captain's analysis is good, it seems that the imperial generals who have returned from studying in the Central Empire. Zhou Zhifeng said approvingly, and slowly aimed the fire gun at Yan Ling's back, but did not approach the muzzle.

"But you're missing a bit. Zhou Zhifeng seemed to be unable to suppress the excitement and excitement in his heart, and said with a little cunning.

"What?"

"That's what caused them to fight. Zhou Zhifeng smiled, like an accurate careerist who had calculated everything, and aimed the muzzle of the gun at Yan Ling's back.

"What are you doing?" Yan Ling asked sternly as he sensed that something was wrong.

"Then I'll ask the captain what you're doing here. Zhou Zhifeng asked in a strange tone, and pushed the muzzle of the gun harder.
