Hearing the roar, Li Xiuyan suddenly turned around, and by the morning sun, his gaze passed through the broken courtyard wall and fell directly on the window of the house.

This house looks very dilapidated, but the doors and windows are well preserved, in fact, it cannot be said that they are well preserved, it should be said that they have been re-reinforced, especially the gate, which has been nailed with wooden planks on the outside, and as for the windows, it has also been sealed with several wooden boards, obviously, it is not to let the contents of the inside come out.

Through the gap in the wooden plank on the window, Li Xiuyan could vaguely see that there seemed to be a dark shadow inside.

If you listen closely, you can see that in addition to the roar of a wild beast, there seems to be a screeching sound coming from the house when you pick at something with your fingernails.

As Li Xiuyan got closer, this harsh voice became more and more obvious.

Li Xiuyan can now be sure that something must have been locked up in the house, and it is a rather terrifying thing.

But for Li Xiuyan, what is terrible is not this seemingly terrible thing, but those things that cannot be seen or touched, such as the human heart.

Through the broken courtyard wall, Li Xiuyan came to the center of the courtyard.

seemed to be aware of Li Xiuyan's breath, and the things inside screamed louder, and the harsh sound made by picking at things with his nails became more and more frequent.

In order to figure out what was inside, Li Xiuyan decided to disassemble the wooden strips that sealed the doors and windows, but he didn't want to be attacked by the things in the house while removing the wooden strips, so he immediately liberated the second martial spirit, the Domainless Sand, and manipulated the Domainless Sands with his mind to open the door.

The wooden planks used to seal the doors of the houses, although they were wide and thick, were all ordinary materials, but in the blink of an eye, they were destroyed.

When Li Xiuyan manipulated the Boundless Sand to destroy the wooden plank that sealed the door, the things inside suddenly became very quiet, as if he knew that Li Xiuyan was rescuing it.

But when all the wooden planks were removed, the wooden door that looked like it had broken teeth was directly smashed open by a strong force, and the fragments of the wooden door flew towards Li Xiuyan like a knife blade.

Although the incident happened suddenly, Li Xiuyan seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and the moment before the fragments of the wooden door flew towards him, the Domainless Wild Sand formed a wall of sand in front of him, blocking all the flying fragments.

A figure with a whole body black immediately rushed out of the door and hit the sand wall directly, and suddenly there was a muffled sound.

It seemed that he felt like he had kicked on the iron plate, and the black shadow didn't even dare to let out a fart, so he turned around and ran.

Li Xiuyan naturally wouldn't let it escape, and while controlling the Domainless Wild Sand to break the door, he had already prepared in advance.

As a result, before the black shadow could run five meters away, his ankle was entangled in the yellow sand rising from the ground, and with a "poof", he landed on the ground head-on and fell hard.

But this is not the end, in order to prevent it from escaping, Li Xiuyan immediately manipulated the Domainless Wild Sand to wrap its body firmly, no matter how much it tossed, it would not be able to break free from the yellow sand.

In order to see what this thing was, Li Xiuyan manipulated the Domainless Sand to trap only its wrists and ankles, forcibly unfolding its body.

", it's a person?!" Li Xiuyan was stunned when he saw the true face of the black shadow. But soon, he felt that this thing was not completely human, to put it bluntly, it was a bit of a half-human, half-beast.

"Can you understand what I said?" Li Xiuyan tried to communicate with the orc, but the other party turned a deaf ear, and his eyes did not change in any way, so it can be inferred that he could not understand Li Xiuyan's words.

"It's difficult, this is what Luo Tian said before......"

Li Xiuyan suddenly recalled what Luo Tian said to Chi Weiyang on the day they first met, about the epidemic.

Could it be that this monster in front of you is infected by the epidemic?

Combined with what Luo Tian had said before, the more Li Xiuyan thought about it, the more he felt that it must be the case, so he once again manipulated the Domainless Wild Sand, firmly wrapped the half-orcs, leaving only the nostrils and mouth to breathe, and then threw it into the Nine Realms space and handed it over to the soul and Runze to study.

He himself decided to go back later and search the neighborhood for a while to see if he could find more.

Not long after, Li Xiuyan found several more such half-orcs nearby, all of whom were trapped in the Domainless Sand and thrown into the Nine Realms space.

"I said, do you two understand what kind of creature is this?"

Li Xiuyan saw that the sky was almost full of light, and while walking back, he asked about the soul and moisturizing in his heart.

The soul said: "The preliminary judgment is that it should be a human being, but for some reason, the day after tomorrow has become what it is now." ”

"Is it possible that there is an epidemic?"

"The possibility of this is not ruled out. ”

After hearing this, Li Xiuyan fell into a short silence, and went back to the city gate, without talking about the half-orcs with the soul Runze.

"Why did you come back?" asked Korning.

Due to the search for the orcs, Li Xiuyan was the last one in the group to return.

Li Xiuyan didn't explain, and asked Kou Ning and the others, "Did you find anything?"

Kou Ning shook his head, "No, except for the pit is white bones, there is not even a thing that can breathe." ”

Chi Weiyang also shook his head, he, like Kou Ning, also found nothing.

However, he told Li Xiuyan that Luo Tian had made a discovery.

Without waiting for Li Xiuyan to ask, Chi Weiyang called Luo Tian over, and with him, there were three Imperial City Guards, these three guys, each carrying a large scroll, until the big scroll was put down and opened, Li Xiuyan suddenly discovered that the things they found were the same as the things they found, they were all the kind of species that looked like people, but in fact they could no longer be regarded as human beings.

"Brother Li, look. As Chi Weiyang spoke, his body immediately flashed to the side, making way for Li Xiuyan.

Li Xiuyan didn't need to look closely, he knew what the Imperial City Praetorian Guard brought back was, it was the same half-orc corpse that he threw into the Nine Realms space.

"Brother Li, what do you think this is?" asked Chi Weiyang.

"It's people. Li Xiuyan replied truthfully, "I also encountered it just now, and I checked it curiously, and found that they were indeed human before, but I don't know what the reason is, their bodies will look like wild beasts, and their whole bodies are covered with black hair, sharp beaks and fangs, which make people look very unappetizing." ”

After listening to Li Xiuyan's words, Chi Weiyang pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Could it be the previous epidemic that caused their bodies to mutate?"

"This may be very big, like their situation, if they are loosened, they will definitely attack us, which is very consistent with the onset of the epidemic, but there is one point, I can't figure out why only a few of them survived, and the others were directly turned into bones, and they were thrown into those pits, what are those pits for......"
