The old man's emaciated face was extremely shriveled, like a dead tree that had lost its breath of life, and the skin on his face exploded in the shape of fish scales, and many hard shells that looked like cuticle abnormalities appeared.

From the cracks in the hard shell of the stratum corneum of the fried skin, it can be seen that there seems to be some kind of "plant" growing in its body, and the abnormal changes on the surface of these skins are also due to the growth of the tentacles of the branches and stems of those plants, which force the skin up......

His eyes turned into a pair of blood-colored holes overgrown with weeds and dead branches, and his nasal cavity was in a state of severe ulceration, the flesh was rotten to the point that there was no trace of it, and most of the bones were dissolved by themselves, and the curve of the bridge of the nose was completely invisible.

This is not a face that humans should have.

"Could it be that my induction is wrong??" Chen Xian slammed the blade out of the old man's neck, almost instinctively took a few steps back, and tried his best to distance himself from him as quickly as possible, "There are obviously vital signs of a living person, how can it be like this??" ”

The vital signs of humanoid anomalous life forms are different from those of living humans, no matter how similar they are, some things in their bones still cannot be changed and cannot be concealed, such as the most basic, the rhythm of breathing, the frequency of heartbeat, and even the blood flow rate that can be sensed at close range...... These are all important factors that distinguish living people from abnormal life.

Prior to this, Chen Xian had carefully sensed it when he was close to the old man, and he had also determined that the old man had normal human vital signs and was not an abnormal life, so he dared to cut it directly......

"Hey..... Are you going to rob me of the Immortal Land too......"

The old man laughed weirdly, the fish scales and dead skin piled up on his face were all huddled together, looking like an enlarged version of the toad, while he grinned and smiled, Chen Xian also found that the teeth in his mouth had fallen out, and his tongue was gone, and the empty mouth was like a bottomless black hole, and he could still speak so clearly without a tongue...... It really can't be considered human.

"Immortality?"

Chen Xian noticed this keyword, and couldn't help but look around carefully for a while, only to find that there was a rune array with a diameter of about two meters under the old man's feet, and the position where it sat cross-legged before happened to be the center area of this array, and it was very likely that it was the eye of the array!

But at this moment, Chen Xian suddenly discovered another thing, and his attention couldn't help but move away from the formation on the ground, and instead set his eyes on the pool not far away.

The smell of traditional Chinese medicine that permeated the air before was actually emitted by this pool of water.

The pool was filled with a viscous and smooth black liquid like oil, and Chen Xian was really familiar with these strange black waters, because he had seen this kind of thing in the underground cave during the mission of the Foggy Mountain Mental Hospital not long ago, and he was also lying in a device similar to a nutrition cabin, and was soaked in this liquid for a while.

"How can there be a black water ...... here" Chen Xian's eyes widened, and his expression, which was calm and waveless before, could no longer be seen at all, but was replaced by an extreme shock.

After the mission of the mental hospital, Chen Xian also analyzed many doubts about this case, such as what the black water was, combined with the clues found in the underground cave (or laboratory), Chen Xian probably analyzed that the reason why those black waters are called nutrient solutions by the behind-the-scenes organizations of the mental hospital should be because they are some kind of liquid that can provide human nutrition and have special effects, and judging from the pipes that extend to the ground...... The nature of those liquids should be very special.

According to Huo Fatzi, there is a confined underground space in the deeper part of the underground cave, where there is also a pool, and the pipes that extend down from the cave are interspersed in that pool, maybe they are special facilities used to pump out those black waters.

As for whether those liquids are artificial, Chen Xian has not yet found an answer to this question.

Assuming those liquids are man-made, then this time the catastrophe ...... Could it have something to do with the organization behind the scenes?

If those liquids weren't man-made, what was the pool of black water I was seeing now? It can't be all naturally formed like those nutrient solutions, right? Or are they just similar in appearance and smell, but are actually two completely different things?

Whether they are the same thing or not, Chen Xian can't come to a definite conclusion, but in terms of feelings alone, they should be exactly the same..... Whether it's the state or smell, or the color, reflectivity, etc., there is almost no difference in the contrast of all these details.

But if they are really the same thing, then this case, will it be related to the previous one? Something to do with the organization lurking behind the psychiatric hospital?

"Eternal Life...... It's my ....... alone," the old man said hoarsely, as if he had lost his mind, and when he spoke, the whole person gave Chen Xian a neurotic feeling, "It's my ...... alone."

Chen Xian didn't dare to think about it anymore, so he pounced again with a meat saw knife, and slashed his head and face at the old man's throat.

The scars inflicted on it by this knife were very limited, and even worse than the one that had struck it before.

This knife cut down to a maximum depth of two centimeters into the old man's throat, and it would be difficult to continue cutting after that, at least Chen Xian couldn't do it, because it was an obstacle.

The old man seemed to have entered a state of battle, directly held the back of the meat sawing knife with his hand, and slowly stood up from the ground, in the process Chen Xian also found that something was wrong with it, the abnormal changes in its body were much more serious than Chen Xian imagined.

I saw that the old man's legs were covered by many fine bamboo branches, and those bamboo branches were like some kind of parasite that was difficult to get rid of, wrapped around his thighs, and seemed to extend from the skin in the abdominal cavity, with a pungent smell of blood from head to toe.

"Fight......" Chen Xian gritted his teeth and launched a third attack, and this time he also gave up the intention of attacking the old man's neck and throat, and instead turned the blade down, straight to the old man's waist, and picked up the tip of the knife and slashed over.

This time, the sawsaw slashed into his flesh at a depth of at least ten centimeters, and after the skin of the abdominal cavity was cut open by the serrations, the internal organs that had already been corrupted also scrambled out, and they continued to flow out along the slender wounds, and the smell of blood in the cave became more and more pungent for a while.

Seeing that the attack was effective, Chen Xian didn't dare to think about it, and hurriedly pursued the victory.

Under the steady frequency of his attacks, the old man's waist continued to suffer heavy wounds, and those internal organs were lost in the abdominal cavity after they were gone, and they could only continue to flow out of orange-yellow oily liquid, perhaps it was the blood of this abnormal life.

With the sound of a fine and rhythmic collision, the old man's waist gradually became the hardest hit area of the battle, and Chen Xian only fought around this one place, as if he was peeling an apple, he "peeled" a layer of flesh and skin.

As Chen Xian's hand fell, the old man's movements became bigger and bigger, and he even began to pull his legs and walk towards Chen Xian, not caring about the changes in his body at all, and walked to Chen Xian's side step by step, just wanting to kill him like this.

"Are you conscious?" Chen Xian asked quietly, then bent down to dodge the old man's fist, and continued to ask unhurriedly, "Are you still conscious?" ”

The old man didn't seem to hear Chen Xian's words, he still attacked him by himself, and the speed of the attack became faster and faster, and the two sides fought for less than half a minute, Chen Xian was already a little unable to hold on, and he couldn't support this abnormal life that can be called a "perpetual motion machine" to the extreme.

At this time, the movements of both sides to shoot and close their hands are very fast, and the speed of nerve reaction is far beyond that of ordinary Inhumans, even if the opponent's fist has reached ten centimeters in front of them, both sides can also dodge each other's attacks, and even seem to be a little at ease.

After a few minutes of fighting, Chen Xian suddenly found that this old man had some similarities with himself, and the injuries on his limbs could almost be ignored, even if the flesh and blood on his waist were scraped off by Chen Xian, he could also stand up straight with his vertebrae, constantly looking for opportunities to attack Chen Xian.

When Chen Xian found the opportunity to slash the eighth knife, the old man also stopped all his movements in an instant, like a robot that suddenly crashed, and began to stand in a daze without a sound.

Chen Xian didn't care about this change, and was still trying his best to find an opportunity to take the initiative to attack, but at this moment, a bamboo piece with the thickness of a thumb suddenly drilled out of the old man's abdominal cavity, and before Chen Xian had time to react, this bamboo piece rushed out like a spear and pierced directly into Chen Xian's heart.

"What the hell are you......" Chen Xian hurriedly stepped back, widened the distance between the bamboo piece and himself, and his right hand was tightly covered on the wound, his face was a little unpleasant, "What is this pool of black water for...... Tell me ......"

The old man grinned, and his eyeballs, which were made of weeds and dead branches, also turned a few times, and kept making a gurgling sound, which only made people feel creepy.

"Eternal Life..... It's mine...... It's mine!! ”
