Chapter Seventy-Six: The Scarlet Monster
"It's exactly like the zombie dogs in Resident Evil, life has long been cut off, but driven by some kind of force. ”
The strange scene in front of him made Li Mu dare not slack off, and the Shadow Sword was raised, wanting to kill this strange dog first, although it had already died once.
Suddenly, the zombie dog seemed to smell the anger on Li Mu's body, and the originally stiff steps disappeared instantly, and the three legs violently pounced directly towards Li Mu.
This sudden change startled Li Mu, and one dodged sideways, avoiding 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 entangled with the strange earth dog, and couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart, and the long sword in his hand was unsheathed and joined the battle.
"Qingzhu, be careful of this dog, it's dead, but it should be controlled by something, now there is only the perception of anger, and there is no pain, just attack its head, and, don't be bitten by it." ”
Li Mu had already tacitly treated the dog in front of him as a zombie in the movie in his previous life, telling Lin Qingzhu the essentials of the attack, as well as avoiding being bitten by this zombie dog.
Both of them were monks who had married Jindan, and they were shocked by this strange zombie dog at first, but once they made a serious move, this only instinctive earth dog was obviously unable to pose a threat to Li Mu and them.
Dodging the bite of the zombie dog again, the light of the Absolute Shadow Sword flashed, and the controlled strange dog was directly beheaded, and the corpse also fell to the ground.
"Brother Mu, this dog really doesn't have a drop of blood in its body, what is it manipulating it to attack. ”
Looking at the corpse of the zombie dog on the ground, Lin Qingzhu also frowned, he didn't expect that he and Li Mu had just left Qinglan City, and they encountered such a strange thing on the way to the first target city.
"This village can't stay any longer, we set out overnight, and if I'm not mistaken, the villagers of this village are probably all suffering the same misfortune as this dog. ”
The uneasiness in Li Mu's heart became more and more intense, and those blood-red eyes reminded him of the previous furious Fang Yan and the beast tamer, and his intuition told him that there must be some kind of connection in these strange experiences that he had encountered.
"Brother Mu, look, the dog's ears, something crawled out?"
Following Lin Qingzhu's scream, Li Mu set his eyes on the head of the zombie dog on the ground, only to see a blood-colored strange insect crawling out of the dog's ears, a typical worm appearance, but the blood-like red light wrapped its body, in the dark night, it looked so weird.
This strange insect squirmed little by little and drilled out of the dog's head, Li Mu did not hesitate, and a sword qi swung out, directly smashing this blood-colored strange insect.
"It seems that it is the culprit who controls the dog's corpse, but I don't know what it is, it would be good if Xiaoyu was here, she read a lot of books, she must know what kind of bug this is. ”
Taking out the fire fold from the warehouse system, Li Mu cut some more branches, and then set the zombie dog's corpse on fire directly, in case it was controlled by some strange insects.
And Lin Qingzhu had already hid far away, and sure enough, even if he had already established the strength of the Dan Realm, being afraid of insects was still a common problem among girls.
After this experience, the two of them lost their sleepiness, and Lin Qingzhu also fully agreed with Li Mu's proposal to rush overnight, she didn't dare to sleep in this village anymore, for fear that this red strange insect would come out of a dark corner.
Coming out of this strange village in the mountains, the two men continued along the mountain road all the way to the west, passing through two canyons in succession, 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 of it is the largest village in the Wolong Mountain, and it is also the foothold where many monks and medicine pickers enter the mountain range, and with the villagers, the number should be at least a hundred. ”
Lin Qingzhu took the map and finally confirmed the location of the target village, and at the same time informed Li Mu of the situation of this large mountain village.
At this time, the sky was already white, and above the horizon in the distance, a round of morning sun showed its head, after last night's turmoil, Li Mu and the two felt that this morning sun was so warm.
"Oh my God, why is there still no one! What the hell is going on?"
The two of them stood in the open space in the middle of the village, their scalps tingling, and the village that should have been bustling was as empty as the strange village before.
"Last month, a team of the family passed by this village on the way to carry out their mission, and I asked them about it before leaving, and there were at least a hundred people living in this village at that time, how could there be no one?"
Not only was Lin Qingzhu frightened by this terrifying scene, but even Li Mu had a chill down his spine, and the hundred or so people said that it was gone?
What kind of accident can make the villagers of a village evaporate from the world, and even those monks with cultivation who pass by also disappear together, and what is the relationship between this bizarre empty village and the red monster worm?
All of this was like a mist shrouding Li Mu and Lin Qingzhu, but they were helpless and helpless.
"Let's search this village first, so many people have disappeared together, there will always be some clues, we can't be led by the nose all the time, if we don't find out the secrets of these empty villages, it will only be more dangerous. ”
Lin Qingzhu also nodded and agreed, now all the mysteries have not been solved, if you blindly walk around, I am afraid that you will really encounter unmanageable dangers.
At the very least, the missing villagers and travelers must be found first.
This village was much larger than the previous one, but Li Mu and the two did not dare to act separately, but began to search one room after another.
The half-eaten food on the table, the buckets of water that fell by the well, and the farm tools scattered all over the ground all indicate how quickly things happened, but there was not a single trace of blood in the whole village, and it was not like an attack by robbers and bandits.
Li Mu carefully probed the situation of each house, trying to find clues, but all the traces seemed to confirm that the villagers left spontaneously, which made the two even more confused.
Can hundreds of people leave their homes without any traces of fighting, is this really done?
After two hours of exploration, Li Mu and the two finally came to the last building, which was the only two-story building in the village, and it looked like it should be a place for travelers to stay in the village.
"It's just here, if we can't find a clue, we can only leave here first, return to Shuanglin River the same way, and then find other routes to the next city. ”
The two looked at each other, silent for a moment, the long-term rush and the endless strange things have made the spirit of the two people very tired, although relying on the natural trick to maintain the stability of the breath, but the more unknown the more frightening, if you don't find a clue, I'm afraid you really have to find another way to continue this experience.
"Go, go in first, my gut tells me that if there's a clue, it must be here. ”
From the previous empty village, the uneasiness that had grown in Li Mu's heart became stronger and stronger, and Li Mu felt that he was probably standing in front of the truth.
With one step, the Shadow Sword opened the way, and the two of them walked into this somewhat gloomy small building one after another.
