Chapter 49: The Recorder (4)
The dark red plasma flowed down the thick, steely back, emitting a strong, pungent smell of sulfur, and the viscous plasma dripped onto the dry riverbed, where it was greedily devoured by the coarse grit.
The crooked, crooked monster slashed its sharp bony claws at random on the riverbed, leaving scorched yellow and black marks. With a hissing roar, its back swelled and shiny, guiding its fellow humans like a beacon in the dimness.
Muscle and fat without fur were exposed to the murky air, cold and heat, and in this unspoken wilderness, it was tantamount to shouting to all the hungry predators: "Come! here's a piece of meat!
But apparently, the predators didn't have the courage to challenge the muscular monster. Those who have the courage have become a puddle of flesh and blood around it.
It shook its ears, and the action caused a large mass of slippery gel of unknown composition to slip over its head, tearing apart a horrible expression that might be called a 'smile' on the face that was only a hideous mouth, and the long, pale tongue nimbly hooked a small piece of minced flesh from the ground and quickly retracted.
With a sigh of perhaps satisfaction, the monster turned its round head covered in bone armor in a certain direction. Kilometers away, buses full of novices are rolling towards here unhurriedly.
......
Lorna's index finger moved slightly, and for a moment, she almost couldn't hold back her hand to crush the monster in the distance. That thing looks so disgusting!, but considering that without this guy, there would be more less powerful but more disgusting monsters swarming because of the loss of deterrence, she finally gave up on the idea.
Anyway, there are no monsters at a leveling point, which is a bit weird.
When she closed her eyes and opened them again, there was nothing unusual about her, she was just an ordinary little girl.
Su Xing, who was in the other car, lightly tapped the sketch he had just drawn in his notebook with the tip of his pen, it was a big cat with gorgeous fur, it was hard to imagine that this was what the monster looked like before it was corrupted, a rather beautiful saber-toothed tiger. To his surprise, this mutation gave it a faint assimilation property. It is able to gain some of their special abilities by eating mutated creatures.
What's even more amazing is that under this hodgepodge, its genes have not collapsed.
Comparing the part of the information he had obtained, it was clear that almost all 'living' mutated organisms had this genetic heterozygosity to some extent. They didn't suffer a genetic breakdown, thanks to the disgusting magic energy carried in the black mist.
This is a form of energy that has the characteristics of a 'concept', which is probably 'evil', 'degenerate', 'corruption' and the like. Because it hasn't been finally fixed, and Su Xing doesn't bother to study this kind of thing for exactly the same reason as Feng Lixi, in short, with the passage of time, it is very likely that a pan-consciousness body belonging to monsters will be born on this planet, and it is more than enough to mix the title of big demon king.
This kind of 'pseudo-authority' that relies on biological races is at most the level of demigods, but it is not a problem to clean up a planet. It can easily pollute the spiritual world of intelligent life, dragging everything into darkness and chaos, and for the races that do not have the corresponding ability to resist, this pollution is simply incomprehensible.
However, it is still a long, long time before this happens, and perhaps it will not be a reality until the day when all living beings on this planet are gone.
Moreover, isn't there such a group of warriors who have always maintained a high fighting enthusiasm?
He looked around, and the scenes of the material world were peeled away from his vision, and in the end, only the bizarre and brilliant images remained. The light of life of each person and monster shone before his eyes.
The light of human life is generally only the size of his palm, and there is no difference according to age. The outermost layer is a bright green, which is the purest of life, a layer that transitions from a green to a deep blue, which is the radiance of reason, and a vivid violet that follows represents intense emotion. And the golden red dot that surrounds the light of life is courage.
Everyone's courage is more or less, but it is not a certain number. This force, which largely supports their fighting, is always in a state of instability, and may surge like a volcanic eruption at any moment.
On the other hand, the light of life of the monster is more distinctive.
Their vitality is more vigorous, but they are also more cloudy. It's like sewage in a sewer, it's 'vibrant', but it's also something to avoid.
As for reason and emotion, that's completely gone. The vast majority is occupied by pure and direct appetite, and a little bit of the insignificant beastly instinct.
Well...... In this way, it seems that they don't need much courage anymore?
Of course, in the scarce number of high-level monsters, Su Xing still discovered the existence of certain things, courage, love, and mercy...... It's weird, but it's normal. Intelligent life itself is the greatest miracle, and even in this environment, weak and resilient positive emotions can still be born.
After a few more hours of jolting, the two buses finally stopped in an open space where traces of artificiality could barely be seen.
More than a dozen security guards of the school guard team got out of the car and vigilantly stretched out the cordon. They were heavily armed, and in their hands were Gatlings who could easily clean up miscellaneous monsters, the kind that smoked blue fire. As for how to deal with miscellaneous monsters, these veterans who retired from the front-line army due to physical disabilities are experienced and trustworthy.
And the special magic prosthetic leg allowed them to regain their full combat power, but unfortunately the problem of mass production of this thing has not been solved.
The accompanying technicians, who got off the bus, were tasked with not only setting up the camp for the next three days, but also recording and analyzing the details of the area. This is actually part of a routine patrol assignment as well.
The last to get off the bus were a few leading teachers, Su Xing roughly estimated that Nasjia could probably beat half of the monster in the distance, and the other teachers combined could beat the other half.
In general, they are all weak chickens.
"Lorna-san, look, is that the rotten demon mentioned in the textbook?!"
Alina took her hand and pointed out the window to the dim world, where a vague figure flashed away hundreds of meters away. After waking up, her greatly strengthened physical fitness allowed her to see abnormalities that she would not have noticed, and likewise, it also made her much more lively.
With a casual response, Lorna's index finger flexed slightly, and without a sound, the so-called Rotten Earth Demon was crushed into ashes by the invisible power.
This disgusting thing, it's still crushed clean!
