"No, haha, I still like to roast myself slowly until it is seven and a half minutes done. ”

After Xia Yu quietly rejected Sivari, he smiled and motioned for Gil and the others to continue, while he stood up from the snow, picked up a torch and walked through several fires, responding to the warm greetings of the surrounding people with a cordial face, carefully avoiding the hunting traps, and coming to the snow pits where the food was refrigerated.

By the light of the torch in his left hand, Xia Yu held the sword in his right hand and frowned at the corpse of the prey that had been frozen into ice in the ice pit.

On the top are two elk, whose hind legs and heads have been cut off, Xia Yu carefully observed by the firelight, but did not find any mildew abnormalities, after thinking about it, Xia Yu put the two prey corpses aside, and below is a wild boar corpse, which was also cut off by the essence, and the blood and internal organs flowed and froze into ice cubes.

Below are a few hares and another elk, and people pick fat and eat the leftover minced meat and internal organs, and the bottom of the pit is bright red, if it is not for the natural refrigeration in winter, I am afraid that it will already stink.

Similar to such ice pits where the carcasses of prey are stored, there are five more in the camp.

Xia Yu kept churning around the carcasses of these prey, carrying them up, looking for possible anomalies.

Although the bodies and energies of these unknown infected have been strengthened, there is no doubt that their 0-point souls are on the verge of death like the old woman in Alpha City.

The bewitcher must quickly find out the cause and determine what the impact of these changes will be on him.

"What are you doing......, what are you doing?"

was too concentrated, and the sudden sound from the ice pit made Xia Yu excited, and when he looked back, it was Billy, the fangs of the earth, who was urinating next to him, but he just asked casually after seeing the fire under the ice pit, and didn't care.

At the same time, with the help of soul prying, Xia Yu found that this earth fangs Billy was also infected with that unknown negative state, life +1, energy +1, although the soul has not changed to 0, but it is only a matter of time.

"These bastards, cut all the good meat!"

Xia Yu complained casually, but Billy laughed and said, "Hahahaha, I still have a piece of bear's paw meat over there, you can come to me...... Ahem, ahem,, I haven't had a cold in a few years, and here I go again. ”

Shaking his head, as if his mood had become worse because of a cold and cough, Billy waved his hand casually at Xia Yu, and returned to the camp fire by himself.

Relieved, Xia Yu continued to look for clues in the snow pit.

After cleaning out all the prey corpses, by the light of the fire, the blood and internal organs under his feet had been frozen into ice at the bottom of the pit, although disgusting, he did not find anything abnormal, frowning, Xia Yu used the long sword in his hand to poke open these surface ice cubes.

Kindness?

"It's ......"

It's incredibly sensitive, it's unbelievable.

Xia Yu actually felt a trace of the black smoke miasma of the devil world under these layers of ice where blood was condensed!

Although these black smoke demonic qi are extremely thin, since this is an exotic world, even the slightest demonic qi is incompatible with the energy rules of this world, coupled with the sensitivity of the bewitching devil to these demonic qi, he still senses its existence.

"Underground? Could it be that in the ancient unknown era, this was once a large urban world node, communicating with the devil's world?"

Xia Yu used the memory of the devil to confuse him, and he instantly associated a lot.

Because of the relationship between the demonic qi, Xia Yu keenly saw that under the ice, there were demonic parasites with only a hair fine of about half a centimeter, and they were surviving tenaciously in the blood ice.

In the devil's world, this kind of parasite is endless, and their existence can be found in any crevice of the mountains and rocks, a unique survival system, they are not even devil's minions, they are equivalent to plants in the devil's world.

"Sleeping in the dirt underground, awakened by blood? Hmph, a little thing with a vitality comparable to a tardigrades!"

Water bears, 0.05 cm in length, can survive for hundreds of years without food and water, can survive between close to absolute zero and 150 °C, boiling water is equivalent to hot springs, can still reproduce normally under freezing conditions, ignoring the oppressive forces of the deep seabed, bathing under high doses of radiation, it is still difficult to kill even under vacuum conditions, and the so-called highly toxic poisons are not a problem.

It can be said that this is a species that is almost completely immune to "magical damage", but the disadvantage is that it is not resistant to mechanical damage, which is "physical damage".

Someone once said that if they weren't too small, the ruler of this world would be the tardigrades, which would still survive even if humans were extinct and the earth was destroyed.

After knowing the reason, Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought it was some strange natural curse in this world, or an unknown infectious disease, and I really let myself have a false alarm.

However, although these parasites may seem small and insignificant, they can survive in the devil's world, and anything insignificant in the devil's world will be extremely dangerous and terrifying creatures in other worlds!

In the devil's world, there is no doubt that all creatures have the ultimate goal of plundering souls, and these parasites, which can be called the plants of the devil's world, are the chaotic helpers who assist the devil in plundering souls.

A relaxed curvature appeared at the corners of his mouth.

Xia Yu didn't expect it, he thought that he was unlucky to encounter a hero, but now it seems that he has lost his luck, these young and fresh souls still don't know anything about the dangerous situation they are in at the moment.

......

Ahem, ahem, ahem.

Throughout the night, the camp was filled with coughing sounds, more and more, more and more frequent, including Jil, Amogler, Yitai, and Mochado around Xia Yu, who were also infected by the Demon Parasite.

Xia Yu didn't sleep all night, waiting to harvest his soul.

To Xia Yu's disappointment, the souls of these humans infected by parasites have been converted into life and energy by parasites, and after a whole night, Xia Yu has not received even a single soul.

Under normal circumstances, they exist as tools to assist the devil's first souls, rather than directly receiving souls.

"Ahem, ahem, damn it, did I catch a cold too?"

Jill blushed and coughed and stood up, and after complaining, he only felt extremely thirsty, and in a daze, he instinctively walked towards the hot spring, but found that many people had gathered near the hot spring, all of them looked like they were thirsty, and they kept holding the water and swallowing it with both hands.

The sound of "cough cough" came and went, and half of the people in the camp were infected, like an influenza.

Although everyone frowned at this, they did not think much about it, and these people with a cold, without exception, felt that they were thirsty, as if the hot spring was their paradise, and swallowed the spring water.

"Ahem, ahem,, this winter, this is the third time I've had a cold. ”

Jill walked to Xia Yu's side after drinking water, and Amogler, Yitai, and Mochado had also woken up one after another, and they all ran to the hot spring to drink water, and some of the Bright Crusade soldiers jumped directly into the hot spring with thirst, as if they had lost their minds, and swallowed the hot spring.

All devils love humid environments, and these parasites that survive in the devil's world are no exception.

Jill noticed the strange situation at the hot spring, and said speechlessly: "Are you crazy, in order to drink water, as for making such a big noise?"

After complaining, Jill stopped paying attention to the situation over there and instinctively went to the ice pit in search of food.

Xia Yu quietly watched all this happen, especially next to the hot spring, Santami, who was also infected by "cough, cough, cough", was looking at the people who were crazy for drinking water at the moment, and obviously noticed that it was extraordinary, these people who lost their minds in order to grab water were all suffering from a cold!

Around the hot springs, people who were going to draw water normally watched all this in amazement.

"Ahem, it's not right, we seem to be ......"

Roar!

The roar of Billy, the fanged of the earth, drowned out Santammy's words, and this guy actually activated the power of his blood, and rushed towards this side from the distant camp desperately, as if only the hot spring was left in his eyes.

"Water, water, water!"

And when they had drunk enough, they seemed to come back to their senses for the time being, and shook their heads, amazed at their impulsiveness, but could not say why, only thought that they were thirsty.

"Hey, hey, Igor, what's wrong with you, wake up!"

There were panicked cries in the distance, and people who had not been infected and had regained their senses gathered over.

Seven or eight Light Crusader warriors were scattered around, and they had fallen unconscious, their faces were extremely pale, their breathing rate was twice as fast, and their whole bodies would twitch unnaturally every few seconds, and they would not be awake no matter how they were called.

Unable to suppress his desire to drink water, Saint Tammy gulped the hot springs for a while and came to the side of these unconscious Light Crusader warriors, the power of the Holy Light spilled down, but it did not seem to have a relieving effect on them, but instead made these unconscious people sweat in their unconscious struggles, and they looked extremely painful.

"Give them some water. ”

His eyes showed a solemn look, and with the voice of Santami, the people around him hurriedly fed water to the unconscious man, but he was spit out and did not drink at all.

"Now, they crave blood more than water. ”

In the crowd, Xia Yu looked at everything calmly.
