Chapter 46: The Living Corpse
Southern Continent, Graveless Town underground.
Bai Jing, the White Dragon King, has been here for a long time, and he is ...... with the group of small animals led by Shiba Inu. Or the little demons, who have been together for several months, have taught them how to express their meanings relatively completely, and have given them names, and now they are trying to teach them to recognize and cultivate.
However, Bai Jing spent more time here studying the various equipment, reagents, and so on in this underground laboratory.
At this time, he was wearing a white shirt, standing behind the cleaned laboratory table, and meticulously operating the old experimental equipment, which made him look less like the most powerful demon in the world, but like a serious researcher.
On the table in his hand was a yellowed notebook with many holes and alterations.
"I don't know who left this experimental note, there are a lot of contents that I can't read clearly, and there are many symbols and words that I can't understand at all, but fortunately, the description of the equipment is relatively complete and full of pictures and texts, so at least I have the basic conditions to use this laboratory. ”
Bai Jing glanced at the experiment notebook and shook his head.
For him, there was nothing more to learn from the notebook.
"What's more troublesome is that some of the potions left here have long since volatilized because they are not well sealed, and some may have been left for too long and have an unknown reaction, and their performance has changed greatly from the efficacy recorded in the experimental notes. ”
"Now, I've explored everything in this lab, and there's basically nothing to do...... It's time to get to the ground and look for clues. ”
Bai Jing raised his head.
I saw that in the open space in front of the experimental table, one after another little demons were lying on the ground, they did not frolic or make a sound, they all looked at Bai Jing quietly, and their watery eyes revealed infinite worship.
Bai Jing seemed to have long been accustomed to this kind of picture, he smiled, and said to the Shiba Inu who was squatting at the front: "Gold ingots, do you have anything you want to eat today?"
The Shiba Inu, who was given the name Gold Ingot by the White Dragon King, stuck out his tongue, pouted a few times, and said, "We want to eat meat!"
"Eat meat, do you all want to eat meat?" Bai Jing smiled and looked at all the little demons present.
The little demons nodded one after another, and even those who were supposed to be vegetarians had a longing glint in their eyes.
"This is the sixth time, and sure enough, even rabbits, sheep, chickens and ducks, which are supposed to be vegetarians, have become demon queens, and they have become able to eat meat, and they obviously love meat, not only can they eat, but they also love to eat. ”
Bai Jing smiled as he filled in his own content at the back of his experimental notes.
"If I'm not mistaken, when they become demons, their life forms have completely changed. But will I be able to completely break away from the original creature, or even become a completely different creature, just like I was at the beginning? ”
He smiled at the gold ingots and the other little demons, "No problem, I'll get you some meat back today." ”
"Long live the White Dragon King!"
The little demons let out a burst of cheers, they were subject to some inexplicable rules, they couldn't get out of this underground laboratory, before they met Bai Jing, they were already hungry and weak to the limit, and after Bai Jing came, they were able to bring them some delicious food on the ground from time to time, and now the little demons are visibly fat and round.
Therefore, these little demons, that is to sincerely respect Bai Jing, not only because he is strong, but because he really feeds his poor little demons.
Bai Jing put down the work on the experimental table and said to the little demons, "I'll come back later." ”
So he sank into the ground and fled.
Soon, Bai Jing came to the ground of Graveless Town.
At this time, it was eight or nine o'clock in the morning, and the southern continent had gradually entered winter, but there was still a trace of warmth on the side of the Nanlin Peninsula, and the roar of powerful monsters in the sky in the distance was gradually moving away.
Bai Jing looked around and began to walk around the town.
As soon as he took the first step, his breath completely melted into the world, like a stone rolling on the ground and a fallen leaf fluttering in the wind.
The herd of sword pigs running through the town, the little rats crawling on the ground, all of them were unaware of his presence, and even the scavengers who occasionally appeared in the town of No Grave did not notice a single person passing by them.
After a short time, Bai Jing casually killed a few sword pigs and white rabbits, and then threw their corpses on the ground, and then, the ground opened a "big mouth" on its own, turned into quicksand, and swallowed the corpses of these animals.
"Almost, enough gold ingots for them to eat. ”
After completing the hunting task simply, Bai Jing smiled at the gradually sinking animal carcasses: "The weak eat the strong, natural cycle, this is the way of heaven, don't blame me." ”
Once the hunt was complete, it was natural to start preparing for his own research.
At that time, he came to Graveless Town because of the Black King, and he wanted to know why the Black King was able to become a demon and why he was so special. After coming to Tombless Town, he spent some time finding the underground laboratory and found dozens of demons such as gold ingots, but after a few months, there was no progress in the research.
So, he set his sights on the strange corpses in Graveless Town.
Graveless Town is terrifying, it is precisely because of those terrible corpses, these corpses seem to have been dead for many years, but once they come into contact with people passing by, they will erupt with extremely terrifying negative effects, and Qi Wanli, who was only a second-order at the beginning, even used these corpses to disturb the fifth-order skywalkers had to be exhausted.
In the same town of Tombless, there are strange corpses and meatballs that can make demons, and no one believes them if there is no connection between them.
But after Bai Jing came to Tombless Town, he had not taken the initiative to contact those strange corpses.
Those corpses gave him a very uncomfortable feeling, although he was already a super powerhouse at the peak of the eighth order, and he was not afraid of the danger that those corpses might bring, but when approaching those corpses, he would have a very ominous feeling.
I can't tell the truth.
However, it was his lifelong wish to strengthen the demon clan, and in order to find a way to create the demon clan in bulk, he was willing to face this ominousness.
Soon, Bai Jing found a corpse.
It was a very strange corpse, it was impossible to tell if it was a human or a monster, it was completely charred, inflated like an inflated tire, and there were six limbs on its torso, it was impossible to distinguish whether it was hands or feet, but its face could be seen with the same facial features as a human.
It hung from a dead tree by the side of the street, its six limbs stiffly spread, and there were seven or eight skeletons under the tree.
What kind of battle would turn a living creature into this?
Bai Jing didn't get too close, the bones under the tree were obviously still a certain distance from the corpse, but they died because of it, obviously the negative impact of this strange corpse had a certain range.
"Let's start with this tree. ”
Bai Jing said to himself and stretched out his hand to the dead tree.
In the next second, the dead tree met spring and began to sprout new shoots.
In particular, the branches where the corpse was hung quickly sprouted a large number of leaves, and the branches continued to stretch, enveloping the corpse.
In a short time, the whole swollen and charred corpse was covered in the leaves.
Then, Bai Jing's face changed.
Through those branches and leaves, he could sense the condition of the corpse in it, which was equivalent to reaching out and probing every inch of the corpse without actually touching the corpse.
But, even so, he felt an unspeakable mystery.
From that mass of leaves, he sensed a very strong feeling of nausea, which made him feel the urge to vomit everything in his stomach, Bai Jing could have suppressed it in the blink of an eye, but he didn't do it, but let this feeling spread.
He wanted to see what it was.
Even, Bai Jing put away all the strength of resistance, kept himself at only about the second and third order, and let this weakened feeling attack him.
After a few seconds, his face changed, he coughed up blood vigorously, and then vomited out a lot of internal organs!
With such a serious injury, he would have gone directly to half his life if he was replaced by an ordinary person, but Bai Jing didn't care, the green mist on his body flashed, and all the injuries had been healed, he straightened his waist and suppressed the negative effects of the strange corpse.
"This ...... If it has not been weakened, if it is replaced by an ordinary person, it will spit out the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys at this time, and it is impossible to prevent it. ”
Rao is as powerful as Bai Jing, and at this time there was also a trace of fear, but at the same time, a trace of joy climbed up to his eyebrows.
"Clues, these bodies...... It's alive!"
Yes, he, who was extremely sensitive to the divine power of life, sensed an extremely faint ...... coming from the corpse at the moment of vomiting Health fluctuations.
The degree of this kind of life fluctuation may be weaker than a mayfly in the water, and it is even more fleeting, and it is impossible to catch it without the strength of the seventh or eighth order or above.
It was that touch of life fluctuation that caused serious negative effects, but it is still unknown how and how it works.
"Well, you can't bring this corpse back to the lab, those little demons can't stand it, I'll bring their food back first, and then come over to study it. ”
Bai Jing nodded, he already had a plan in his heart.
He turned away, sinking into the ground and vanishing.
Just a few minutes after he left, the leaves on the tree wrapped in the corpse suddenly began to fall, and the vigorous tree under Bai Jingshi became a dead tree again in just a minute or two.
The corpse still hung from a dead tree, in its original state, motionless.
No one saw that inside its charred and twisted corpse, there seemed to be a flickering red light, which flashed before quickly returning to silence.
