Chapter 322: Tricky
Through the forked branches of the petrified wood branches, Luo Yuan's face was solemn, this was a strange life that Catalpa had never seen before.
Unlike those ordinary mutant creatures, although the form, body shape and even ability of these beings have undergone overwhelming changes since the end of the world, they are still classified as beings that can be recognized by ordinary people normally.
For example, beasts are still beasts after mutation, birds are still birds after mutation, and insects are still insects after mutation, at least in appearance, at a glance.
But this mysterious life completely subverted Luo Yuan's cognition and made Luo Yuan extremely jealous.
At this time, the mercury lake changed again!
At the edge of the lake, a whirlpool two meters wide gradually appeared, the whirlpool is very deep, from a distance, about five meters deep, but it is still impossible to see the bottom, considering that this whirlpool is close to the edge of the lake, which means that the lake is very deep, with an area of about one square kilometer, this mysterious creature, obviously this is an unimaginable behemoth.
After a few seconds, a ball began to emerge from the top of the vortex, and as time passed, soon a human head gradually emerged as if 3D printed, followed by the head and neck, torso, limbs, and finally clothing.
What makes people chill in their hearts is that this human body is lifelike, detailed and realistic, even the scar on the face is exactly the same, if it is not silver-white, it is no different from a real person.
Wu Qianru, who was still numb and had been corroded before, saw this figure appear, and suddenly looked frightened and struggled desperately. However, the "mercury" under her seemed to have a strong stickiness, sticking to her, and no matter how she struggled, she couldn't move.
"Looks like this is the vice-captain!" Looking at the scene in the distance, Luo Yuan's eyes were solemn and thoughtful.
This mercury lake does not seem to have a real form, and its main ability is probably to copy, copy all the creatures it catches, and it was previously trapped underground, where life is extinct, except for the creature that looks like a snake or earthworm, and no other creatures have been encountered.
So the only thing it could transform before was a snake or earthworm, until it captured a second life, a human, and then it began to transform into a human form.
The "vice-captain" was expressionless, and as soon as he landed on the shore, he ran forward like the mercury earthworm, and he had some vague guesses, the purpose of this mysterious creature was probably to break free from the cage and find a way out.
Luo Yuan's face was cloudy, this place was located inside the reconstruction area, if he let it leave here, Luo Yuan couldn't imagine it.
Once given enough time, it can develop a large army, and as more and more lives are eroded by it, its size will expand further, and if it is not destroyed in time, the situation will deteriorate, and the already barely supported human race will be severely damaged.
He looked at the "doppelganger" mercury lake that continued to brew in the distance, and his brows furrowed.
In the face of such a huge and mysterious life, the knife technique he was proud of was useless, and the knife could not cause any harm to this fluid life.
Even if he took a step back, he could kill one or two of them, or even a hundred or thousands of clones, but he would not be able to face its huge body.
Reason told him that he had to return to Hope City immediately and report the situation to the higher-ups in a timely manner.
And until now, he has not taken over the task, leaving without the slightest loss to him, as for Wu Qianru, it is completely a meeting in Pingshui, and before that, he didn't know him at all.
Dead, he didn't feel any guilt!
He has never been a person who is overflowing with love, and he is also within his power to help, and he will not risk his life to save people.
He glanced at Wu Qianru in the distance regretfully, and then quickly floated up and flew towards the top of his head, he was faintly anxious in his heart, and after a while, three more "humanoid" clones were formed, running in four directions.
However, after flying for less than half a minute, he suddenly stopped and looked to the left.
A humanoid doppelganger was climbing the rock wall at a rapid pace, its speed was extremely fast, like a nimble ape, the liquid body seemed to produce an attraction force when it touched the rock wall, even if the rock wall was almost parallel to the ground, it had no effect on it at all.
The shackles of the snake-like body made it never able to leave here, but the humanoid clone formed this time had an opportunity to break free from the cage.
"This clone must not be allowed to leave here!" Luo Yuan's face changed immediately, once the body found the exit and fled from here, the consequences were really unimaginable, and he didn't know whether the clone could form an independent individual, but as long as there was a slight possibility, he was not willing to gamble.
He approached the rock wall silently, and then kicked it violently, and his body was like an arrow from the string, shooting towards it quickly, the humanoid doppelganger, faintly aware of it, and his body paused slightly, but perhaps it was the life of the underground that made it lose its basic sense of crisis, until Luo Yuan pulled the knife out of the sheath, and the knife light disappeared, separating its head and body, it did not do any reaction.
However, it was useless, this liquid shaped like mercury had great density and viscosity, and Luo Yuan had already begun to bond rapidly as soon as he slashed it, but he had already expected it in his heart, and he did not panic at all.
Before it could react, countless sword lights flashed instantly, and a hazy light suddenly appeared in front of it.
Throat, temples, heart, ****...... The sword light was like a storm, almost in no particular order, and in an instant, in less than a second, this humanoid clone was slashed by sixty or seventy knives.
If it is a normal creature, it can no longer die if it is already dead, but unfortunately, the effect is very limited, it is not even harmed, and as soon as the attack stops, the opponent's wound has already healed.
"I don't believe it, I can't deal with the body, and I can't deal with a clone." Luo Yuan was shocked in his heart, but more annoyed.
Since entering the reconstruction area, although most of the time has lived comfortably, the strength has not stopped growing, on the contrary, because of the transformation period, the strength has increased faster than before.
Compared to when he first entered the reconstruction area, he faced green-level creatures, and now he is eager to try the dark green-level creatures, and his strength has increased tenfold.
However, at this time, facing this clone who is only a seventh-level life, but with his unique self-healing ability, he is powerless, and how can he not be annoyed and angry.
After being repeatedly slashed with so many knives, this humanoid clone finally reacted and tried to attack, but was slashed by Luo Yuan.
He took a deep breath, and his heart quickly calmed down, the strength of this doppelganger is not strong, it is only between the dark blue level and the light green level, it is not worth mentioning at all for Luo Yuan at this time, the key is how to kill it.
At this time, Luo Yuan was not in a hurry to go back, he began to experiment.
First of all, the will knife mang, but it had some effect, a knife cut off its head, rolled down, no blood or any other liquid flowed out of the wound, the incision was smooth and smooth, lost its fluidity, and looked like a piece of metal. And after being cut by the will, the wound showed no signs of healing at all, and the edges seemed to have been destroyed by the will, completely losing its vitality.
However, for this fluid life, the head is just a decoration, without a head, it has no effect on it at all, and it can still be alive and kicking.
Luo Yuan was interested, he peeled off the "mercury" on his body one by one like a radish peeling, and each piece was as thin as a cicada's wings.
In a few seconds, it was only half a meter tall, but to Luo Yuan's shock, it was still "alive", until the other party was left with only a palm-sized body, it suddenly curled up into a ball, and then completely stopped moving.
Luo Yuan tried a few times, and when he saw that there was no danger, he picked it up and put it in the palm of his hand.
It was cold and very heavy, this small ball about ten centimeters in diameter, presented a perfect sphere, weighing about five kilograms, almost no different from an iron ball, and I don't know what elements it is composed of.
Compared to the slow flow when it is active, it is very hard at this time, but when it is clenched hard, it is faintly elastic, which is very strange.
Luo Yuan flew down and landed on the ground, there were already a lot of silver balls piled up below, Luo Yuan glanced around, and soon found the head that fell, but at this time the head had transformed into a mini humanoid thirty or forty centimeters high, and desperately ran away to the body, but how could he escape. After a single slash, it turned into two almost identical silver balls.
His heart moved, and he used an identification technique on one of the silver balls. ()
