Chapter 1224: Mutation
"At the top of the mountain!!" Lao Liu said, pointing to the top of the mountain.
And at the moment when the pillar of multicolored light burst into the sky, countless pieces of debris fell from the sky and sputtered in all directions.
"Be careful!" Wan Qiuliang and the other disciples hurriedly drew their swords to block the splintering stones that had been splashed down.
At this moment, Liuying Island can be described as a piece of mourning, because these gravels are large and small.
They even saw a lot of huge rubble falling from the sky, but fortunately the larger ones did not fall near them.
The rubble continued for two quarters of an hour, and several of the larger stones landed near them.
However, after blocking the first few pieces of rubble, the group hid under the diagonal wall where the gravel fell.
Fortunately, everyone was unharmed, and no one was hurt by it.
These female disciples on Penglai Island took the initiative to help Bai Chen and Lao Liu block the rubble, of course, even if they didn't help, it was basically impossible to pose a threat to Bai Chen and Lao Liu.
Bai Chen's gaze became a little strange, because the energy burst just now was obviously different from before.
Wan Qiuliang looked at Xiao Xian worriedly: "Uncle Xiao Xian, let's go, this place is really unknown, if you continue to approach the top of the mountain, I don't know what will happen." ”
Xiao Xian was also a little hesitant, but his gaze drifted to Bai Chen.
It's just that Bai Chen didn't pay attention to Xiaoxian at this moment, but completely focused his gaze on the top of the mountain.
"No, I'm going to keep going up. Xiaoxian said firmly.
"Little boy, don't you persuade the little immortal master and ancestor?" Mo Yi saw some suspicions, so he could only look at Bai Chen for help.
For them. No matter what the treasure. None of them are as important as Xiaoxian's safety.
They weren't here to hunt for treasure in the first place. It's just that I came back from overseas, and I happened to hear that something big happened on Liuying Island, so at the strong request of Xiaoxian, I came to this Liuying Island by the way.
Bai Chen looked at Xiao Xian with a serious face: "Whether it is safe on the top of this mountain, I don't know, if that kind of thing happens again, then everyone present will have no bones." Are you sure you want to go up again?"
Xiao Xian's face showed a little timidity, but the moment he came into contact with Bai Chen's gaze, Xiao Xian became full of courage again.
"You can't scare me! I'm not afraid. Xiao Xian dragged his little fist and said demonstratively in front of Bai Chen.
Bai Chen smiled and turned his head to look at Mo Yi and the others: "I can't persuade her, you better protect her." ”
"Little boy, since you already know that this is not a safe place, why do you have to venture to the top of the mountain?" Wan Qiuliang felt that if Bai Chen could leave. Then Xiaoxian will definitely not continue to insist on going up the mountain.
Now Xiaoxian is so persistent in climbing the mountain, a large part of the reason is due to Bai Chen's body.
"I had a reason to have to go up. Bai Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"You said it too. Born and raised treasures, those who are destined to get them, why can't I go if you can go. Xiao Xian said angrily.
"I didn't let you go, but you're not destined to go. ”
"And who you are?"
"I may not be destined to be a destined person, but I can kill all those who are destined to do so. Bai Chen said with a bright smile.
"Cut, you're not as old as me, and you've studied kung fu for a few days? Look at your little arms and legs, and you still kill people? Xiaoxian stepped forward, pinched Bai Chen's arm, and then showed his white fat arm.
I have to say that Xiao Xian's arms are indeed bigger than Bai Chen's, after all, children of this age will have a lot of bigger bones when they are one year older.
Of course, the actual gap is not much, but it is enough for Xiaoxian to show off his might in front of Bai Chen.
"There are too many murder methods in this world, and killing people by force is the lowest method. ”
"Hmph, bragging! Wan Qiu Liang, let's go up, little brat, don't follow me, or I'll hang you up and spank you." ”
Xiao Xian began to compete with Bai Chen again, and without waiting for Bai Chen to speak, he ran towards the mountain.
Many sections of the trail have been smashed or blocked by rubble, making the already steep trail more difficult to climb, but these small problems cannot stop Xiaoxian's determination.
However, when approaching the top of the mountain, corpses began to appear along the way, most of which were not killed by rubble, but more because they were too close to the top of the mountain and were directly shocked to death by the impact of the burst of light.
And the closer you get to the top of the mountain, the more miserable it becomes.
Xiao Xian had never seen such a scene, and he had already begun to regret his reckless decision a little.
But every time he saw Bai Chen's casual expression behind him, he mustered up the courage to continue climbing.
Finally, they reached the top of the mountain, but the so-called top of the mountain was now empty, and only a huge cavern was left in the center.
Looking down from above, there was only endless darkness, and the pillar of light just now burst out of this deep cave.
"There's nothing here. Xiaoxian breathed a sigh of relief, she was still worried about what danger she would encounter on the top of the mountain, but now it seemed that there was no need to worry about it.
"Little brat, are you very disappointed now, but that's for sure, you must not have seen anything good, that's why you are so excited about the treasure hunt, this girl is not disappointed at all. Xiao Xian shouted at Bai Chen proudly.
Bai Chen just glanced at Xiao Xian lightly, and then continued to stare at the bottomless deep cave.
The side wall of the cave is a rugged rock, and only a part of the pass is relatively smooth, that is, at the moment of impact, the pillar of light only breaks away from the pass, and the rocks below show that the cave below has always existed.
"Young Master, what should we do next?"
"Go down. Bai Chen said indifferently.
"Kid, you're crazy, aren't you?
Bai Chen raised his head and said with a smile: "Wealth and wealth are in danger, I, a hillbilly who has never seen treasures, if I haven't seen treasures, how can I leave willingly." ”
"Little madman. Xiaoxian's words, others deeply agreed.
This kid looks very shrewd, how can he do such a trivial thing.
"Wait...... What's down there...... At...... Climbing up. ”
The fairy pointed to the cave in horror. No need to say more. Everyone has seen it.
I saw it in the deep cave. There are a lot of four-legged things climbing up.
At first, they couldn't see it clearly because they were in the depths of the cave, but when they climbed to the upper light, everyone finally saw it clearly.
At first, everyone thought it was some special beast, but when they saw it clearly, everyone was surprised to find that it was a human at all!
Or rather, these things can no longer be called human at the moment. It's just that it still retains the physical characteristics of the person.
The bodies of these 'people' are much larger than normal people, with sharp claws on their hands and feet, loose hair, pale skin that can see blood vessels under the cortex, and eyes that have turned completely white, without a single pupil.
All of these things clinged to the stone walls, and they were extremely dexterous.
Bai Chen didn't feel the slightest bit of the vitality of the living people from these things, but judging from their physical characteristics, they should have been human!
There were even some things with pieces of fabric hanging from them. It's just that it was forcibly broken by a huge body.
A mouth full of fangs and sharp teeth, making a gurgling sound.
All the women have changed color. After all, seeing this unheard-of monster is not only terrifying, but can even be so ugly that it is disgusting, and it also intensifies the fear of the women.
Bai Chen was expressionless, and Lao Liu's face was also solemn: "What kind of monster is this?"
These resurrected beings are not the work of necromancy, nor are they living corpses.
Normally, necromancy infuses corpses with dead energy, while living corpses are transformed through corpse poison.
However, these monsters were completely different from the two kinds of resurrection that Bai Chen knew, although the bodies of these monsters were lifeless, they were full of alternative energy, and this energy was the energy of the Holy Crystal.
It's just that the energy of the Holy Crystal, in the bodies of these monsters, seems to be very chaotic.
"Bai Chen, these monsters should have been created by mutation. The Rubik's Cube answered Bai Chen's question.
"Mutation, you're talking about evolution, right?"
"No, mutation and evolution are different, under the influence of specific external factors, organisms will evolve, the process of evolution is very slow, and the way will be very gentle, just like the human beings in this world, in fact, they are also in the process of evolution, but no one notices it, but mutation is different, mutation is in a more extreme environment, what happens is a more intense mutation, and now this mutation should be the result of the energy of the Holy Crystal. ”
"If that's the case, I should be affected too, right?"
"It is likely that it is only affected by the deceased, and it requires close contact with energy, according to my measurements, the energy radiation in the vicinity is very strong, if ordinary creatures are exposed to this energy radiation, it will not be long before they either die or produce mutations. ”
By this time, the monsters had already climbed up, and these manic resuscitators were full of aggression and attacked everyone as soon as they came up.
Wan Qiuliang cut a monster in half with a sword, and the lower half of the monster's body soon began to wither, but its upper body was struggling, and soon a new body grew into a new body, and a new round of attacks began.
"Huh?" Bai Chen looked at these monsters in amazement.
Are these monsters immortal?
Wrong...... They are not immortal, and the energy in their bodies is decreasing.
In other words, these monsters can use their instincts to consume the Holy Crystal energy in their bodies, and then repair their damaged bodies.
Interesting!
The women soon discovered the characteristics of these monsters, although these monsters are ferocious, but their strength is not too high.
After several joint killings by the women, after several body repairs, they died completely.
And the women also discovered that how to tell whether these monsters are really dead depends on whether the bodies of these monsters are completely withered. (To be continued......)
