The crescent bone chain twists the remnants of the body, and plots to erode the scars.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As Xinglan walked along the collapsed giant tree to its roots, things that had been hidden in the blind corner of her vision were finally exposed to her, a scene she had never imagined before.

"It seems that things are really not that simple......" Looking solemnly at the figure in front of him who was half crushed under the giant tree, Xing Lan withdrew the dagger in his hand, and slowly walked to the front and squatted down to check, "There is no sign of life at all, and I am really completely dead." ”

If it were daytime, it would look like a multicolored coral reef from a distance, and the clutter of colors on the surface would make the corpse visible both day and night. However, it was the dark red blood stains that dominated the body, a large amount of blood oozing from different parts of the corpse, and even though it had coagulated, it preserved its trail of slowly flowing down the surface of the skin.

This was not the corpse of any animal that Xinglan had imagined, but the corpse of a moon praying man.

Judging from the appearance of the upper body, this should be a man in his thirties, but he can only distinguish the upper body, and the middle waist is pressed under the giant tree, but it is obvious that the entire lower half of his body has been completely smashed into flesh by the collapsed giant wood, and the broken bones and flesh are mixed together to dye a section of the giant tree red...... It was almost impossible for any creature to resist the force of the fall of this giant tree, and even a thousand winged dragons would be struck to death by this tremendous force in the same position.

He also has long, silvery-white hair and crescent-shaped pupils...... Xinglan noticed that the shape of his pupils was completely fixed in a very thin crescent moon form, which meant that he was likely to die in the brightly lit daylight hours, after all, his pupils would no longer actively change form after death.

"This isn't like you're fleeing in a panic......" Xinglan looked at the moon-praying man's twisted hands, one of which had been completely detached from his body, not only was he deformed and bent by smashing, but even his main skeleton was completely shattered into slag.

If it is a person who is fleeing from the fallen giant tree, there should not be this kind of action, even if it is a moon prayer, their action pattern is not very different, the movement of this moon prayer person's hands is definitely not what it should be like to run away in panic, it is like ...... It's like standing still and waiting to die.

Didn't have time to react at all? It's impossible, the fall of such a big giant tree is not an action that can be completed in an instant, not to mention those trees that are crushed together in the middle, no matter how it is, there will be a few seconds of process, although this time is short, but it is definitely enough for the human body to make an escape action, and it will not stand in place like this.

Gently picking up a small fragment of flesh from the corpse, Xinglan used the signal to check the state of the internal cells, and finally came to the conclusion: this person died completely from the brute force impact of the giant tree, there was no such toxin in the blood, and the cell structure was mostly still intact, and the complete gene chain inside could be clearly detected.

The skin of the Moon Prayer Man can change color freely because the epidermal cells can mix different colors from the pigment sac to create a variety of different patterns, and it seems that after these skin cells die and become inactive, even the biofilm that blocks the pigment loses its selective permeability, and as a result, the surface of the dead body of the Moon Prayer Man has completely become a colorful mess of patterns, like a child's graffiti.

The only thing that can still be identified is a clearly visible white crescent moon in the center of his forehead, which is not caused by skin discoloration, but is painted on his forehead with some kind of white pigment, so it will not be affected after his death.

"Looks like this guy isn't an easy guy." Xinglan looked thoughtfully at the white crescent moon on the moon-praying man's forehead, and reached out to flip the corpse that was only half of his body left, in addition to the clothes woven by vines and plants, she also found some white bone fragments of similar size scattered around him.

These bone fragments all have some small holes, bound together by a stream of silver-white silk thread, which looks like some kind of primitive necklace, and the material of those silver-white silk threads is supposed to be the hair of the moon praying man who has been twisted into a strand, like hemp rope.

But the guy's expression was also very interesting, there was no panic or fear in his facial expression, only extreme anger and a look of fanaticism. This guy doesn't look like he died unexpectedly...... After carefully examining the traces on the ground nearby, Xinglan even had some kind of terrible conjecture: Could this moon praying person be running towards this side on his own initiative? Before he died, he seemed to be angry and made a lifting motion, as if trying to hold the massive giant tree with his own hands.

After flipping through the body again to make sure that there was nothing left to find on the corpse, Xinglan stopped searching for it and instead quickened her pace and walked straight to the location of the tree stump not far away.

The collapse of this huge tree seems a little strange.

Generally speaking, a giant tree of this size, even with a trunk diameter of two meters, is obviously impossible to be blown down by a simple storm...... If there were a storm strong enough to break it, it was estimated that the entire forest would be blown into a wasteland by the strong wind, which was obviously impossible.

At the same time, a lightning strike will not collapse this huge tree, a powerful electric current can burn it or kill it, but it will not let it fall straight and straight, not to mention that there is obviously no trace of high-voltage electricity burning on the huge tree.

As for cutting down trees...... How much effort does it take to cut down a two-meter-diameter tree with the rudimentary tools of this era? As for setting fire to it, it must be possible to burn it so accurately, but both Yunmo and Yumo said that the Moon Prayer People would not be able to artificially control the power of the flame at all. None of these speculations seem likely, but could it be that there is a powerful creature like a waveblade worm that can cut almost everything?

Even if there's a waveblade worm here, what is it going to do if it can't get along with such a big tree? There is a considerable price to be paid to cut off this huge tree, and there is nothing to be gained from it, and no animal in general would do such a boring thing.

This was a bit strange, and when Xinglan walked up to the giant stump that could almost be used as a large bed, the large and strange scorched black patches on the stump proved her idea: this huge tree definitely did not collapse naturally, but was deliberately damaged in some way.

Then the question becomes even stranger, who would have nothing to do with a big tree? If you want to cut wood, there are young trees next to it that are better to cut down, and if you want to pick leaves...... Wouldn't it be easier for you to climb up the trunk of a tree than if you cut down the tree?

After thinking for a while, Xinglan stretched out a finger and gently poked the charred black part of the surface of the stump, and with just a little force, those wooden structures that had changed color on the surface made an overwhelmed sound, and they shattered one after another, directly turning into a pile of wood chips.

"The plant cells are completely in a state of dehydration and death." Xinglan gently picked up a piece of sawdust and looked at it in front of her, "It looks like it was splashed with concentrated sulfuric acid, the original stable structure has been completely destroyed, and there are still these stripes here......"

Clear horizontal stripes are densely distributed along the charred black areas, which are not the tree's own growth rings, and their presence indicates an important message: these charred black areas are not formed all at once, but gradually.

"A high concentration of acidic liquids? It is quite possible to use them to gradually carbonize and dehydrate the structure of the giant tree. Xinglan looked at the bottom of the section where the giant tree fell, and sure enough, she also found similar carbonization streaks on the cross-section, "As long as you use this method to destroy the solid body of the tree, when the wooden structure is damaged to a certain extent, you can make this behemoth fall down in an instant with a gentle push, and it can definitely be completed in a short time." ”

As for where such a large amount of highly concentrated acid comes from, this is not a big problem, there are definitely creatures that produce this kind of acid on the Arashi Star, as long as there are enough of them, it is indeed possible to destroy such a huge tree in a short period of time.

But to think of this, only truly intelligent beings can do this, and collecting that much concentrated acid means taming a large number of creatures that can produce concentrated acid...... As we all know, high-concentration acid is highly volatile, and it is impossible to keep hoarding it by making a leak-proof vessel like water, Xinglan thinks that this should be made on site, there are no sealed glass containers in this era.

This is a big deal, and the cost of destroying this huge tree is too high, and there is little to be gained from it, and I am afraid that the motivation for this is not just to survive.

The land civilization in this area only has moon prayers, and the intelligent creatures that can do this should also be moon prayers, but the only moon prayer corpse found by Xinglan is extremely angry at the fall of the giant tree, which obviously cannot be a helper involved in the destruction of the giant tree, is it ......

A somewhat dark thought appeared in Xinglan's heart, this bloody slaughter field may not be a simple slaughter of animals, nor is it a sacrificial ritual, it is very likely to be a civil war of the Moon-praying race. If both sides of the battle are moon prayers, then everything makes sense, and it is precisely because they are very smart that they use this terrible toxin that can prevent blood from clotting and rupture cells at the same time.

In the end, all the dead bodies of the Moon Prayers were taken away by the victorious side? The only body that wasn't taken away was probably because it was crushed under the giant tree, and the rest of the body was no longer complete. From his dead eyes, Xinglan sensed that this huge tree seemed to be more than just an ordinary ancient tree, considering the legend of the so-called blessing of the moon god, this tree might really have a very unusual meaning for them, while the other party of the moon praying people ruthlessly destroyed the giant tree, and even made all the necessary preparations for this in advance......

Perhaps, just like the conquest between the sea giant tribes, there is no real peace in this primitive and wild world, and the cold and cruel killing on the Lan Star of this era is everywhere and has never been far away.
