"I can't believe I'll come back with you. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Walking on the way to Xinghuang Village, Lu Meng deliberately suppressed the volume and muttered quietly. The group that followed was almost the same thing. The whole team was finally moved by Tianyou's words, and they returned to the place where they fought yesterday. It's not that they don't have fear of monsters, but Tianyou's analysis one by one makes them understand that even if they come back and encounter monsters again, they won't be in any danger if they are prepared. Moreover, if Tianyou's analysis was correct, then they probably wouldn't have met those two monsters.

Although Tianyou repeatedly assured that everyone was still a little worried, so when they came back, they kept walking very carefully, and the whole team was almost moving in an attack formation, for fear that a pig's head would pop out of somewhere if they accidentally jumped out of nowhere.

"You ...... Do you feel that this journey is too quiet?" The senior brother in the team who used the warwheel suddenly interjected, interrupting the conversation of God Bless them.

In fact, Tianyou had noticed this abnormal silence a long time ago, but he wasn't worried about anything, because if his guess was right, then it was normal for this place to be quieter. In fact, the reason why Tianyou dared to come back, in addition to being confident in the team's combat effectiveness, was more important because of his previous guesses.

Those two monsters were just passing by.

Although all those present were more qualified to call themselves monks than Tianyou, there was really no one in the wild who was more experienced than Tianyou. Not only can he come and go freely in the nest of the winged bird, but he has also witnessed the fight between countless monsters, and his understanding of demonic nature is far greater than that of others present.

Tianyou had seen the ferocious culling of those wild monsters hunting, which was completely different from the scene yesterday. Although the fighting methods of the two monsters are also fierce, although the monsters that turn into human forms may be slightly different from the monsters, but the nature of the country is easy to change, and the demon is a demon, and it is impossible to suddenly change the personality because he has learned to transform himself. Those two monsters definitely didn't do their best yesterday, at least they didn't think about leaving God to bless them completely. Therefore, Tianyou judged that the two monsters yesterday had no intention of attacking them at all. It's not so much that the monsters are attacking them, it's that they're protecting themselves.

Yesterday's battle was a complete encounter, neither side wanted to fight, but they encountered it unexpectedly, and then they had to get into a fighting state. Even, Tianyou suspected that the two monsters should just be lost.

Before the battle yesterday, everyone encountered a heavy fog, and at that time everyone was still talking about the source of the fog, but Tianyou felt the existence of a large amount of yin qi in the fog.

Tianyou's spiritual vision ability is extremely special, he can "see" the flow of aura, and even "see" the "color" of aura, and the difference in this color often means that the attributes of auraare are different.

Whether it is a naturally formed fog or a demon fog created by the demon clan, it contains a specific aura, and Tianyou can see this aura characteristic. The mist formed by the natural water vapor should only contain the water spirit qi, at most some earth spirit energy mixed with it, but the fog they encountered yesterday was not like this. In addition to a large amount of water spirit qi, Tianyou also saw a dark blue aura. This dark blue aura represents yin qi, or simply call it ghost qi.

Therefore, God bless is sure that what they encountered yesterday was not a demon fog, but a ghost fog.

If it was a demon mist created by the demon clan itself, the two monsters would naturally be able to walk in it unimpeded, but what was floating was the ghost mist. In other words, the two monsters must have been affected by the fog and couldn't distinguish the direction, so they encountered God blessed them. In addition, the two monsters did have a kind of unintentional love for war, which strengthened Tianyou's judgment. This is also the reason why Tianyou decided to let everyone evacuate yesterday.

Tianyou told everyone all his guesses, of course, he hid his ability to distinguish between different aura, and only said that according to his hunting experience and the situation at the time, he judged that the two monsters should have been lost by the fog, so they would clash with them.

Although the monks of the Xianmen have been shouting to eliminate the demon guard, they rarely take the initiative to provoke the monsters, most of them are poisoned by the monsters, and they will only take action after getting the request of ordinary people. In addition, most of the rare active attacks on monsters by the monks of the Xianmen are also the same as the hunters, it is nothing more than that ordinary hunters can only take some skin and meat and sell them for money, but the monks can even collect the souls of monsters and use them as materials.

To summarize simply, the monks of the Xianmen basically attack the monsters for the sake of profit, the difference is only that some are for fame, and some are for the purpose of collecting the materials and degrees needed for cultivation from the monsters.

God bless them, yesterday's results have already shown that the combination of the Flame Spider Spirit and the Pig Demon is slightly beyond their ability, and even if they can win it, they will lose both. Under such a premise, everyone naturally doesn't want to go to the monster. For example, after today's Youyou put forward his opinion, everyone immediately instinctively wanted to believe Tianyou's judgment, because if Tianyou's prediction was true, it meant that their mission could continue as usual, and they could get additional compensation for the error in the mission information after they returned. In that case, yesterday's events will not be a good thing for everyone, but should be regarded as a good thing.

Of course, these people are not stupid, no matter how much they believe in Tianyou's speculation, it is just speculation after all, and everyone still maintains a high degree of vigilance along the way.

"This is where we fought yesterday, right?" It took twice as long as yesterday to finally come to the place where yesterday's battle began, and one of the senior brothers first found the traces of the battle.

Bai Bingyu looked around, the traces of the battle on the ground were very obvious, especially the moment when she was knocked away by the pig demon, and the deep pit on the ground that was plowed out by the giant sword was still witnessing yesterday's battle. However, Bai Bingyu is not actually concerned about the traces on the ground. "Where are the vampire spider corpses?"

Bai Bingyu's question, everyone was also stunned. The strength of those vampire spiders that are only level 17 is actually very weak, and most of their levels are focused on the virulence and fierceness, and their vitality is actually not much stronger than ordinary spiders. Tsai God blessed their group of monks, especially under the glory of Taiyi Sword, there were not thousands of dead and injured vampire spiders, but there were not thousands of dead and injured vampire spiders, but at this moment, except for large scorched turf and rolled earth pits, there was not a single corpse of vampire spiders on the ground. That's not normal.

Zhao Lingyun turned around and asked Lu Meng, "Do vampire spiders have a habit of devouring the corpses of their companions?"

Lu Meng, who is classified as a psychic in battle, is not much worse than Tianyou's research on monsters, but most of her knowledge is in the theoretical stage, but at least the common monsters such as vampire spiders have a relatively thorough understanding.

"Probably not. Lu Meng shook his head and said: "Vampire spiders generally don't have the habit of devouring their companions, and if you hear the name, you can know that vampire spiders like to suck blood." They also do not usually kill their prey directly, but use venom to paralyze the prey and faint, and then cling to the prey's body to gradually drain the prey's blood. If the number of vampire spiders around is small and you can't drink that much blood at once, the process can even last for days. In the end, the prey dies of starvation, not from the feeding of vampire spiders. However, if there are a lot of vampire spiders, they will usually quickly drain the blood of their prey, causing them to lose blood and die. Either way, at least the corpses should be left. ”

"Vampire spiders eat meat when they are hungry, and they are cold and raw, whether it is rotten or fresh, even if it is the corpse of the same kind. After Tianyou finished speaking, he found that everyone was looking at him, knowing that they didn't believe it very much, so he added: "I have seen the nest of vampire spiders in the Hundred Beast Valley of Qingyuan Mountain, and there are too many newborn baby vampire spiders, and the prey within a certain range around them will not be able to keep up with the demand in a short time, and the vampire spiders will begin to eat up the skin and flesh and even the bones of the prey." If the situation worsens, they will start attacking their siblings who are hatching at the same time, and even kill and eat the mother who gave birth to them. ”

"Monsters are really monsters, even siblings and biological mothers are not spared!" said a senior brother with disdain.

Tianyou shook his head. "No, that's why a demon is a demon. ”

The senior brother glanced at Tianyou suspiciously, unable to understand what he meant, but Tianyou had no interest in explaining. At this moment, a senior brother who was exploring the path in front shouted: "Come here." And all at once they gathered around.

When Tianyou hurried over, he saw a large area of black-brown earth, and the ground was full of fine gray fragments, which looked like half-dried silt, and sprinkled with a pungent stench.

"What is this?" Lu Meng couldn't help but cover his nose.

Tianyou took out an ordinary feather arrow from his backpack and picked at one of the larger pieces with the arrow, and the thing immediately cracked, and a pair of gray-white curved hard objects fell out of it, and then a pile of black-brown sticky objects flowed out of the cracked place. An unbearable disgusting smell instantly filled the air around them, and Lu Meng and Zhao Lingyun turned around and vomited on the spot, and even the faces of several senior brothers were extremely ugly.

Although Tianyou is strong-willed, he has no masochistic habits, and has taken advantage of everyone's vomiting to put a strange-shaped half-face mask on his mouth and nose. Although this shoddy gas mask looks a little dirty, its function is not much worse than that of a genuine gas mask. In order to increase the filtration effect, Tianyou even equipped it with a snorkel and a carbon canister. However, at the moment, he does not connect to these peripherals, and only uses the most basic filtering functions. Even so, the odor in the nasal cavity decreases by several orders of magnitude.

Without the disgusting smell, Tianyou can easily look through the pile of disgusting things. After much scrutiny, he finally confirmed the identity of the thing.

Sticking the arrow in his hand directly into the low, Tianyou turned around and walked back to the crowd that was hiding far away, and then took off the mask on his face.

"God bless you, what is this? Can you block the stench?" There were also some senior brothers who reacted quickly, and they guessed the approximate purpose of the drug trafficking mask at once. After all, even the ancients knew how to cover their noses with a handkerchief to block the smell, and God blessed this one is just a fixture and a seal that fits the shape of the face. Clever people will probably understand it at a glance.

Without explaining the matter of the gas mask, Tianyou said very seriously: "I checked it carefully just now, and that mass should be a person's abdominal cavity." ”

"Human?abdominal cavity?" Zhao Lingyun hesitated, "You mean a corpse? That's a corpse?"

Tianyou nodded.

One of the senior brothers immediately asked, "How can that rotten piece of rotten meat appear on the road? Even a dead person won't rot so quickly, right? Unless someone dug it out of a grave?"

Before the senior brother's words fell, someone added: "It may not be a human, it may also be a monster." ”

Lu Meng shook his head: "Impossible." Monsters hunt living people to absorb Yuanyang, and if it's just for eating, they won't attack heavily decomposed corpses, right? With the ability of monsters, as long as it's not troublesome for monks, what prey can't be caught?"

Tianyou interrupted them and said in a deep voice: "Monsters will eat carrion when they are hungry, but the mountains here are high and dense, and the products should be very rich, so it is indeed unlikely that this kind of thing will happen." But I've seen it just now, and the corpse is dehydrated, and it looks slimy on the outside because of the fog before it gets wet again. In addition, there are some bones inside the corpse. I tried it with an arrow, and it didn't get brittle, but it was unusually strong. So I judged that it might not be a carrion, but the remains of a zombie. The grayish-white flesh around should be shredded carrion. ”

"Rotten flesh, too, is it too rotten?"

"The level of decay of zombies is not uniform, it is related to the adult environment, so this is not surprising. What worries me is where it came from. ”

"You mean to pick up the White Bone Cave of the Tianshan Mountain?" the senior brothers were not stupid, and they called out the name almost at the same time.

The long and narrow corridor where Xinghuang Village is located is the gap between the Jietian Mountain in the north and the Dongjie Mountain in the south, and the white bone cave is in the depths of the Jietian Mountain. However, although the White Bone Cave is not close to Xinghuang Village, the entrance of the White Bone Cave happens to be a mountain col surrounded by mountains.

This col is different from the col where Qingyuan Village is located, it is basically a closed basin, the surrounding terrain is higher than it, and the yin qi has the characteristic of subsidence. Naturally, the yin qi escaping from the White Bone Cave could not spread, and it gathered in this col all year round, making this col a paradise for the dead. In the meantime, zombies and skeletons can be said to be everywhere, and they are not lying underground, but are wandering around.

Of course, these undead outside the White Bone Cave are not very strong, they can only be regarded as passive corpses, which may pose a great threat to ordinary people, but they are not a problem for monks at all. Tianyou's concern is whether the corpses will also be migrated en masse.

You must know that the surrounding fog has not dissipated so far, and a large amount of Yin Qi that is so thick that it cannot be dissolved is still gathered in the place where Tianyou enters the eye, and these low-level revenants have no intelligence to speak of. As long as the yin qi goes, they will naturally wander past.

Although the individual strength of those revenants outside the White Bone Cave is not strong, just like the vampire spiders yesterday, once the number increases, it is still a very terrifying force. If those souls did wander out on a large scale, it would be really terrible.

Now Tianyou regrets that he didn't bring Zhou Zheng out. With that zombie boss here, these low-level undead, far from causing little trouble, could be a help to them. It's a pity that it's impossible to go back and find someone now.

"It's still a question in the morning, are we going to give up the mission?" Tianyou's gaze swept over everyone present in turn. "The current mission has clearly gone beyond what is mentioned in the mission information, and it is far exceeded. We won't be punished for giving up now, and we can still get rewards, but it's not the first time we've taken on the task, and we should also know that if we can complete the task in this case, the reward will be distributed according to the multiple of the difficulty of the task. So...... What do you want to do?"

"It's all here, and it won't take much to find out what's ahead. I am in favour of continuing the exploration mission. Zhao Lingyun was really the first to express his position. Her fiery temper is usually more than irritable, and she rarely hesitates.

Gong Shen Qu Tong also immediately voted in favor. "As long as it's not the high-level undead in the White Bone Cave who escaped, I don't think we can solve it, and it shouldn't be a problem to withdraw. So I suggest to continue. ”

"What do you think of it yourself, do you want to give up or stay?" Bai Bingyu asked Tianyou.

"Of course I don't want to give up. Isn't it just to contribute points to the task in front of us? It is entirely possible that the task in front of us will provide us with several times the contribution points to receive, and the risk is not too great. Since the benefits are much higher than the risks, why not give it a try?"

After two days of performance, most of the attitudes of everyone in the team towards Tianyou have changed from obedience to support. Before, he may have been forced to temporarily listen to Tianyou's command for one reason or another, but he was actually unwilling to do so. However, now, most people have a lot of trust in Tianyou. Although his strength is not particularly outstanding in the team, Tianyou's careful arrangement and reasonable scheduling are something they have never experienced when they usually go out on tasks. Naturally, in contrast, everyone will choose to believe in a leader like Tianyou.

Compared with speaking by cultivation level in the mountain gate, in the process of going out to work, everyone mainly looks at comprehensive ability. A senior brother with a high cultivation level may not be able to show his due role in the task, and a lower cultivation level may not necessarily be useless.

Of course, Tianyou's ability to gain the support of most people has a lot to do with Murong Xuan's attitude when he first introduced them to enter, as well as Tianyou's strong elimination of the hero's troublemaker yesterday. It is said that when everyone returned to Zhao Village yesterday, the hero was no longer in the village. Everyone else is so tired that they don't have time to ask, but Tianyou asks clearly. The guy left Zhao Village at almost noon and went in the direction of Zixiao Palace, obviously leaving the team ahead of schedule.

For this kind of pig teammate who is in the way, of course, Tianyou hopes that he will not get involved, so he doesn't pay too much attention to it.

Tianyou, who was supported by everyone, said his thoughts, and other people who didn't have too clear ideas immediately agreed, anyway, they themselves didn't make it clear whether to leave or stay, since Tianyou had a clear plan, they were naturally happy to follow. Anyway, at least so far, Tianyou's performance has been good.

After deciding to continue the mission, the team quickly returned to the road, bypassing the rotting corpses on the ground, and the group encountered some corpse remains one after another.

Strangely enough, all the corpses were extremely trivial, either spread out on the ground like a pancake or shattered into pieces and pounced on a large piece, as if they had been blasted by a high-explosive bomb at close range. However, there were no traces of explosion on the ground, and there were no high-explosive bombs on the Shenzhou Continent, so Tianyou couldn't figure out what happened to these undead to make it look like this.

After continuing to advance some distance, the road began to turn, from northward along the western side of the eastern boundary mountain, to the east, and on the way they came across another fork in the road, and the road became wider and wider, and the pure dirt road on the ground became a gravel road at some point. Obviously, this is already very close to Xinghuang Village, otherwise there would be no wide and smooth roads.

After turning the road, the team soon encountered a number of corpses, and this time finally found relatively intact, but most of them were only the lower half, and the other half was missing. Lu Meng was unlucky enough to find a head hanging on the branch. Even if the zombie only had one head left, it was still there, moving its mouth and wanting to bite, Lu Meng, who had been trying hard to lower his head to check the condition of the road under his feet, heard the sound of his teeth opening and closing, and when he looked up coldly, he saw the head close at hand, and screamed in fright and raised his hand to knock his head out.

The head of the zombie will definitely not run to the branches of the tree on its own, and it is obvious that there has been a battle here, and eighty percent of the corpses on the lower level are also traces left by the battle. But God bless them, they quickly thought of yesterday's pig demon. If it had swung the weapon in its hand, whether it was a stick or a hammer, and hit these lowest-level corrupt zombies, it would indeed have the potential to cause such an explosion-like shattering effect. After all, compared to the brute strength of the pig demon, these corrupt zombies are indeed not much stronger than watermelons. It is normal to be pumped by a stick.

Lu Meng, who was taken aback, was quite depressed, and the senior brothers next to her were happy, so she made a joke. Tianyou didn't stop them, so as to relieve everyone's tense nerves, after all, they had come all the way in high alert today. Even if the monk's nerves are too tight, they will break. So it doesn't hurt to relax properly.

In this way, he advanced nervously all the way, and a tall black shadow suddenly appeared in the fog ahead. Everyone in the team immediately became nervous, and they were all on guard and did not dare to move. Under the command of Tianyou, the mocking wind flew over and went around to reconnoitre, and then landed on the shadow under the surprised gaze of everyone.

Taunting Wind's reaction at least showed that there was no danger, and the team began to move forward again, and as they approached, the group saw the great shadow that had been regarded as an enemy, and then couldn't help but laugh. It was actually a noodle archway, and the mottled words "Xinghuang Village" on it indicated that they had arrived at the place.

"Hey, it turned out to be an archway, it scared me!"

A few senior brothers were about to relieve the pressure caused by the tension, but Tianyou unexpectedly stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then asked, "Have you found any villagers? Even if some people have fled to nearby villages for refuge, there should be hundreds of families and nearly a thousand people left here, right? Why is it so quiet?"

Tianyou's words and moments made everyone nervous again. What Tianyou just said was right. Xinghuang Village is a large village and town, with thousands of households in its heyday. Today, even though it has fallen, there are still more than 1,000 households. Recently, there have been a lot of people running away because of poisoning, but the rest should be about 1,000 people.

How can a village of thousands of people be so quiet? This is not normal.

"Aren't they all dead?" Liu Ye whispered the worries in everyone's hearts.
