Chapter 23: The Culprit
readx;
As the sky grew brighter, these four words were not appropriate for the morning sun rising in the quicksands. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
When the sun comes, the earliest red sun just jumps out, and after the reflection of the yellow sand, the whole sand suddenly lights up, leaving no one to watch the sunrise at all.
However, for Ding Yao, who fought and fled all the way, he only hoped that the process of the sun rising would be as short as possible, and even hoped that he could immediately see three red suns shining in the sky, shining the scorching sun behind him and basking the dead who were chasing endlessly.
The dead clan is the same as the ghost clan, yin qi and resentment are the conditions that urge them to be born, and they belong to the extremely yin brute beast species, and the scorching sun qi in the daytime of the quicksand land just has a weakening effect on the dead clan of the negative brute beast species, otherwise they would not all shrink into the void yin hole.
These dead people don't spread into the quicksand, and that's the main reason for that!
After the first round of sun rising, Ding Yao immediately felt that the speed of the dead behind him was a little slower, although it was not obvious, but it did weaken, and as the sun gradually rose, their speed became slower and slower, and they could no longer catch up with him.
Presumably, after the other two rounds of the sun rise, the strength of these dead people will be weakened by at least one-eighth!
But when Ding Yao calculated this number, his brows were tightly furrowed.
The Ghost Clan's negative awakening is stronger than that of the Dead Clan, and the weakening of the Burning Sun Qi will be more obvious, but as a Dead Clan, this weakening can also reach one-fifth, not one-eighth!
These dead people have shown abilities beyond the ordinary dead from the beginning, and now in the face of the golden red day, they can still maintain most of their strength, which must be very strange.
This kind of strangeness made Ding Yao, who was gradually relaxed, begin to observe them secretly.
After observing for more than half an hour, from those beast dead or brute beast dead clan, Ding Yao could only detect something strange, but he couldn't see the reason after all, after all, although he had killed many wild beasts and brute beasts, he had not studied them carefully, and he was not very clear about the nature of these creatures.
So, with a thought in his mind, he suddenly made a mistake in his steps, and turned around and rushed back in the direction where the dead were coming!
The moment he rushed back, he clearly felt the slightest pause in the dead, as if they were thinking about the purpose of his move.
This is not the Dead!
Ding Yao's heart suddenly flooded with this strange thought.
The consciousness of the dead clan is all used on the advanced level of eating, and there is no self-thinking, which is the common understanding of human beings about them, but these dead people in front of them completely violate common sense, which makes Ding Yao inevitably suspicious.
In the flickering of his eyes, his hand did not pause, the blue and yellow giant axe fell to the ground, and then his arms suddenly swelled to support his sleeves, dragging the giant axe through the sand quickly, and picked it up, the fiery red color on the axe body suddenly soared, turning into a round of fire arc and quickly slashing forward.
Wu Clan's Battle Skill, Earth Flame Slash!
Feeling the power of the arc of fire, except for the first few dead who couldn't dodge and turned into charred ashes, the rest of the dead all retreated, and the pursuing team cracked a gap again.
And this gap is the purpose of Ding Yao's return impact!
With a flash of figure, he took advantage of the gap where the dead were dodging, calmly passed through the front of the dead beast troops, and galloped in the direction behind them.
Since you can't see through the strangeness of the dead beasts, it's better to change your target and observe those human corpses and dead people!
Compared with the beast-shaped dead, the speed of the humanoid deadman was a lot slower, and he was dragged far behind, but under Ding Yao's sudden counterattack, the distance between him and the humanoid deadman was rapidly shortened, and dozens of running figures gradually became clear.
Ding Yao's eyes narrowed slightly, and his dark red eyes stared at this group of humanoid dead people, and his perception was magnified to the extreme, and he began to analyze the strangeness of their bodies.
After all, they were all members of the same clan before his death, and Ding Yao's understanding of these humanoid dead clans greatly exceeded that of the beast-shaped dead clan behind him, and after observing for a long time, he really found a problem.
He could see that these dead people seemed to be divided into two kinds, one was dead, with relatively slow speed and reflexes, but their strength was much higher, and the other was slightly weaker, but their speed and reaction were much higher than the former.
The most strange thing is this second type of dead clan, the energy emitted from their bodies is not completely dead, but it is also wrapped in a little bit of undetectable vitality!
Life?
Ding Yao's initial meaning was just an illusion, but after careful identification, he affirmed this discovery.
But how is it possible for the dead to exude life!?
While he was thinking about it, there was a sudden shock behind him!
Originally, there were hundreds of dead breaths, and most of them quickly decayed in a moment, as if they were in the midst of an inexplicable death, but the remaining ten or so breaths suddenly skyrocketed, exceeding the level before sunrise in an instant, and even touching the gap of the advanced level.
Looking back, a full five-sixths of the beast-shaped dead clan were lying in the sand for some reason, and the remaining ones were all into the barbarian dead clan, at this time, the breath suddenly rose, and in a moment of turning back, there were actually four second-level brute beasts among them!
Ding Yao's expression was stunned, he didn't care about what happened just now, and he no longer observed the humanoid dead beast, so he immediately turned around and began to flee again.
The more than ten dead beasts roared wildly, as if celebrating the increase in strength, and also seemed to be wailing the sacrifice of their companions, and after roaring, they all locked Ding Yao's back and began to pursue again!
......
Quicksand Spit, Lotus Cave.
Hua Lan looked serious, and was about to go out of the cave to find Litt to report the latest discovery of Lao Tie.
Last night, when Lao Tie, who was identified as dead, suddenly got up and stepped into his bedroom, Hua Lan was keenly aware of the movement, looking at the face that fell into madness, as well as the thick death aura emanating from her perception, she finally chose to kill her.
The killing of the dead is different from ordinary brute beasts, except for the brain point, the only way to kill is to destroy most of the body, and Hua Lan also realized this immediately after cutting his throat on Lao Tie, and took advantage of his shaking to strike again, stabbing the scalpel through Lao Tie's head.
Just a moment after she thought that Lao Tie had completely died, Lao Tie, who was obviously even in tatters, stood up again, which surprised her!
In desperation, she could only rely on the suppression of the capable to cut Lao Tie into three pieces of flesh and blood, completely destroying the possibility of his 'resurrection'.
This strange phenomenon made Hua Lan's heart flash a lot of speculation, although it was not dawn, she also moved the three corpses onto the stone bed of the large stone room, and immediately unraveled them.
After the brain was cut open, it was just as she thought, only the brain tissue that had long since died or even begun to decay, but other than that, whether it was the other muscles of the face, or the internal organs of the upper body, all of them had just lost their vitality.
This is not the Dead!
Hua Lan quickly came to this conclusion, because the bodies of the dead clan were all made of corpses, and they wanted to revive their vitality again, which was already a level that only the dead clan of the sixth-level beast generals had, and Lao Tie, a corpse that had not yet entered the barbarians, would never be able to revive his vitality.
And when she examined the third piece, the corpse of the leg, she made a new discovery.
The trouser cloth that separated Lao Tie's right leg actually popped out a large amount of gray dust, and after most of the dust fell to the ground, Hua Lan found that Lao Tie's left thigh was full of more than ten catties of flesh all gone, and even half of the leg bones were missing.
This phenomenon made Hua Lan a little incomprehensible, so after finishing the investigation, she saw that the sky at the entrance of the cave was already bright, and then she went out of the cave to go to Litt to report, and at the same time had the idea of brainstorming to see if anyone could guess the cause of Lao Tie's death.
He didn't take a few steps out of the cave with an easy pace, but Hua Lan noticed someone running beside him, and when he looked back, he found that it was Aisha, who was usually regarded as his sister.
Aisha saw that Hua Lan was just out of the cave, and her expression was slightly stunned, and then she immediately said, "Sister Lan, have you received the notice of the settlement meeting?"
Hua Lanliu's eyebrows frowned slightly: "Settlement meeting?"
"Yes, Big Brother Litt sent out a notice in the morning, asking everyone to gather next to the General's Stone, saying that there is something important to inform everyone!" Aisha blinked: "I just wanted to come to inform Sister Lan, and seeing that you have gone out, I thought Sister Lan already knew." ”
Hua Lan shook her head, but there was some inexplicable irritability in her heart.
"Sister Lan come with me, I'm the last to inform you, I just want Sister Lan to rest a little more, now everyone should have passed!"
Aisha immediately smiled and grabbed Hua Lan's jade arm, pulled her and walked towards the general stone.
By the time the two of them arrived at the general's stone, almost all the members of the settlement were already standing in front of the sword-like stone chips, waiting for the meeting to begin.
Looking under the stone chips, he saw Litt with his eyes closed with a solemn face, a serious Vance standing beside him, and a figure that Hua Lan hadn't expected.
It was not Ruan Xue, who was one of the leaders of the hunting team, but the man who joined the settlement with the strange Ding Yao and had been guarding the boy Xiaoshun yesterday.
Ogushe!
With a sad face, Ugush stood silently behind Little, as if in regret and grief, quietly waiting for the arrival of the members of the settlement.
Hua Lan had countless doubts in her heart, but she had no clue about the content of the meeting.
Half an hour later, when all the members of the settlement finally arrived, Litt opened his eyes and swept over everyone.
"Bringing you together here today is a very important thing to inform you. Little's bright voice reverberated through the ears of hundreds of people, and the seriousness in it made everyone look at him closely.
"For several months, the disappearance of the hunting team in the direction of the Void Yin Cave on the Northern Line, we have finally found out the culprit!"
One sentence was like thunder, and the shock of the crowd was suddenly detonated!
The members of the hunting team who disappeared on the northern front in the past few months in the quicksand mouth were as high as more than forty people, and these people also had friends and relatives and still lived in the settlement, and now when they heard the news, their tears instantly burst out of their eyes, and their tears flashed with hatred, and their emotions were instantly excited.
But Hua Lan felt a faint pain in her forehead, and a feeling that something was wrong lingered in her heart.
Lao Tie, who had disappeared for two months, had just appeared yesterday, and he hadn't said a word, and where did Litt find the culprit.
What's more, this culprit ...... What is it?
"What killed them? Little, tell us!"
The crowd was furious, and everyone waited for Little's answer.
Litt didn't answer right away, but turned to look at the Uhgush beside him, and nodded.
At Lit's signal, the Ugush took two steps forward with a sad expression, looked at everyone as if they wanted to say something, and finally gritted his teeth, seemed to have made up his mind, and said in a loud voice: "It is not the brutes who kill them......
"What?"
"Not a brute?"
Everyone was taken aback again, and the doubts rose to the top.
The Ugush nodded vigorously, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said in a hateful voice: "It was a man who killed them! a man who hid in our settlement......"
"Ding Yao!"
The audience, boiling in an instant!
