Chapter 176: The Hunt (Part II)

Luo Meng approached the corpses of the two little devils, and suddenly, there was a strange movement in the space of Shennongjiao.

At this time, it was a tense moment, and Luo Meng did not enter the space, but some faint green dots gradually appeared in front of his eyes, which turned into a pale green virtual text box: "I found high-quality fertilizer, you can move in by name!"

"What's going on?" Romon was very curious, but he didn't have time to think about this, so he took a look at it, and continued to check the body of the little devil, the body of the little devil, fell on the rocky ground, and he still carried the two arrows that went straight through, and he hadn't pulled it out, so there wasn't much blood flowing out.

The color of the rocks is grayish-white, and their skin is also a dead gray color, plus they are short, with wings on their backs, and the clothes they wear are also animal skins, so if you don't look closely, it looks like two puppet toys thrown on the ground, which looks unreal.

Romon crouched next to the two corpses, carefully flipping through them with his gloved hands to get a better understanding of the species' characteristics and weaknesses.

At this moment, a puff of black smoke rose from the corpses of the two little demons, with a pungent smell, heading straight for Romone.

"There is danger. The thought immediately crossed Romong's mind.

His body reacted, kicking back several steps, and it was not until he was far away that he stopped the momentum of retreating, and then, holding on to the stone on the ground, he stood up sharply.

Without tracking Luo Meng, the two black smoke had already wrapped the bodies of the two little devils, as if with some kind of consciousness, and the black smoke was constantly twisting in mid-air, changing shapes, looking extremely weird.

Luo Meng watched all this carefully, his spiritual eyes opened, and the crossbow that had been withdrawn from the space was also taken out at this time and placed on his left hand, just waiting for any abnormal movement, he could use it immediately. The matching arrows are also ready-made, placed in the space, and can be used at any time.

Because the appearance of this smoke was too weird, Luo Meng stopped at his current position and did not dare to move again, for fear that if he moved, he would show a flaw to the other party.

In the eyes of the spirit, Luo Meng realized that these two smokes were the black symbols in the body of the little demon, and now, they began to dissipate, so they turned into two clouds of smoke.

"What the hell is going to become?" Romon muttered to himself.

After a while, the smoke cleared, and the body shrouded in smoke also reappeared in front of Romon in front of him, and the change was not very great, at least not from the appearance of a man to the appearance of a beast. However, it seems that the two corpses seem to have become a little bigger, if they were only five or six years old before, then now, they are already the size of ** years old.

"Can you grow a head when you're dead?"

Luo Meng held a fireball in his right hand and a crossbow in his left hand, just standing cautiously in a safe range, carefully observing, he wanted to see if these two little demons would be more powerful than when they died.

However, what Luo Meng was thinking more about was: It is clearly written in the book that only some high-level mages will undergo mutations after death, how can this kind of little devil, who is obviously only at the level of human level 1-2 warriors, also undergo mutations after death? Could it be that the result of his sneak attack just now is not real, and it was a blind cat that has met a dead mouse? In fact, the strength of these two little demons is far stronger than he has learned?

The thoughts flashed through his head quickly, and Romon continued to wait.

But after waiting for a while, the two corpses did not stand up or move again as he thought, they did not move at all, and were still lying on the rocks.

So, Romon took his crossbow and walked cautiously.

Looking down, Romon was immediately amused.

I saw the corpses of the two little devils, and now they are still two corpses, the only difference is that the color of the skin has changed, from the grayish white at the beginning to pure gray, and the figure has risen a lot after death, that's all.

In their bodies, they could not feel the breath of living creatures or dead creatures, as if they were empty, nothing, soulless, breathless.

Romon thought for a moment and remembered a passage.

It is said that when a species with a certain demon or god surname dies, it will have a change in appearance. The time of the change is not necessarily, it may be immediately after death, or it may be a sudden change at a certain time after death.

The result of the mutation is not necessarily, it is possible, it is just a transformation from one death appearance to another death appearance, that is, it is just a change after death. It is also possible that it is a change from one life form to another, and that is a qualitative change.

In many legendary wars of gods and demons, as well as heroic legends sung by poets on various continents, the reason why those ferocious and terrible demon monsters are so difficult to deal with is because they have a certain immortal quality.

Unless it is truly destroying all of their life force, the constant cycle of reincarnation is indeed disturbing.

And these two forms of change are called death mutations. The specific pattern of change is premised on the creature's abilities during its lifetime.

If the dead species had extremely strong vitality and mana during their lifetime, then they are likely to transform into another creature after their sudden death.

For example, some high-level mages with strong power may become powerful dark ghosts or magical skeletons after death, which is all caused by their obsession and strength during their lifetime, and it is also related to the strength of their spiritual power, so they may not quickly dissipate in the world after death.

Some species with the blood of gods and demons are more likely to turn into terrifying monsters after death.

What kind of changes will occur, whether qualitative or quantitative, depends on the ability of the species.

These contents, before, Luo Meng had only seen them in the book, and he didn't look at them carefully at the time, but now, the corpses of the two little demons killed by him suddenly appeared in front of him with a certain sense of abnormality.

"Really, it scared me, I thought you were going to come back to life!" Knowing that they had only mutated a little after death, and that there was no such mutation as turning into another species after death, Romon couldn't help but kick them, and at the same time, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief and was about to take the corpses of the two demons away and evacuate the place immediately, a sound of footsteps suddenly followed him in the distant cave at an extremely fast speed.

Almost at an extremely fast speed, Luo Meng threw the corpses of the two little devils into the Shennongjiao space, and turned himself into a tunnel in dozens of small caves opposite, that is, behind a boulder at a distance from the pool and the mouth of the cave, and then poked his head out and looked at the mouth of the cave.

A team of little devils, probably with the appearance of **, each carrying a stone tool, walked out of it very quickly.

Probably didn't expect the pool to be empty, they walked to the pool, their faces showed strange expressions, they were around, talking to each other, unfortunately, Romon didn't understand this kind of demonic language.

After discussing it for a moment, these little demons even sniffed a little bit of blood, revealing a confused expression.

Romon couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.

However, at this moment, another shout came from a distance, and the little devils no longer discussed, and immediately scrambled to pick up the stone tools and went to the pool to fill the water, and when they were all filled, they quickly ran in with the stone tools full of water.

And Luo Meng, who was hiding next to the big rock, let out a long breath, not ready to stay here, while cautiously continuing to walk out, he secretly thought, fortunately he came down for a trip, otherwise, he didn't know that under his territory, there would be so many secrets hidden, just afraid that one day he would be attacked by these evil species, and he would still be in the dark, in that case, it would be too passive.

When he came, along the way, Luo Meng made some marks carefully, especially at each fork in the road and the place of the cave, he made marks, so, although the terrain here is a little complicated, but according to these left markers, Luo Meng is still very smoothly away from the gathering place of the little devils.

Romon moved through the intricate tunnels with a gentle step, and it must be said that Romon felt that he was becoming more and more familiar with such footsteps.

The tunnels were large and small, sometimes suddenly narrowing to allow only one person to squeeze through, and at this time, Romon would be very careful, and although there were markers, no one knew what would emerge from the darkness.

It's a labyrinth of the earth, but Romon finds himself familiar with them, and an intuition often leads him to the right path, so sometimes he follows his instincts and is not surprised to see his mark when he encounters a level.

Sure enough, as he passed through a cave, all of a sudden, Romon felt a chill in his spinal cord, and he jerked to his feet.

Then, Romon looked up, and after being guided by intuition, he realized a huge outline.

The temperature of the monster underground seemed to be very low, so that under his dark vision, he could only distinguish the vague figure of the other party.

It happened to be on the right track.

Luo Meng did not step forward and watched carefully, but unfortunately, this kind of underground life was far beyond the scope of Luo Meng's knowledge.

It wasn't until the spiritual eye was used that the aura of life hidden in this monster began to be revealed.

Level 5 Life Aura?

After a few moments, Romon retreated, if it could be avoided, Romon didn't want to meet and fight with such an unknown thing, he secretly hoped that it would leave.

It's a pity that it hummed around and just wouldn't leave.

When he got closer, Luo Meng could see clearly that this monster was about three meters tall and 1 meter wide, about the same as a rhinoceros, with a thick shell and sharp horns on its head.

Luo Meng felt a little relieved in his heart, this didn't seem to be very terrifying.

After a few more moments, Romon became a little impatient, he looked at its size, then at a cave that only allowed one person to enter and exit, and smiled.

I'm too cautious.

He sneered and took out his crossbow and continued to reload the arrows, there were not many arrows, and there were thirteen left, and perhaps on the ground, a batch of crossbow arrows could be made in this form—this should not be a problem.

This crossbow is made of modern technology, the price is 3000 yuan, but it is made of alloy, the shooting is silent, high precision, powerful, and simple installation, fast speed.

The most important thing is that although the range is not long, the crossbow arrows are highly penetrating.

Luo Meng sneered and pulled the trigger, only to hear a "poof", the monster about ten meters shook violently, let out an angry roar, with Luo Meng's eyes, only to see the crossbow pierced halfway in, deep into it.

The only pity is that due to domestic control, the crossbow arrow does not dare to adopt a special design for bloodletting, so although it is deep, it can't die for a while, the monster roared, because of the severe pain and rage, quickly found the target, and pounced on Luo Meng.

Romon hurriedly retreated into the narrow cavern, and although the monster had a monstrous rage, it had not lost its mind, and wandered outside the cave.

Ignorant of life and death, sneering, Romon aimed at its head, and with a "poof", another arrow pierced out, at this distance, even armor could pierce without suspense.

The monster roared, the arrow was deadly, and the mad monster slammed into the hole.

"Boom!", the entire nearby stone shook, and the shocked Romon ears "buzzed".

Romon took a few steps back and waited, and after a while, the monster's breath gradually faded, and it died.

"That's good!" Romon thought, the modern crossbow design is quite perfect, Romon will not take it out, but the crossbow itself does not matter, with the specifications of the crossbow arrows, and then add the design of bloodletting, the lethality will be greatly increased, and you must prepare to go down on the ground.

Luo Meng approached the corpse, and with a force, he immediately received it into the space of Shennongjiao.

At this moment, Romon realized that he had accumulated two pieces of information.

At this time, except for a little blood, the surrounding caves returned to normal, and there was already a long distance from the demon cave, for a while, there should be no problem, Luo Meng still cautiously checked the surroundings, and then continued to hide in a narrow and hidden cave, ready to go to Shennongjiao to have a look.

After all, just now, when encountering the corpse of the little demon, Shennongjiao's reaction was very strange.

At that time, the situation was dangerous, and it was impossible to look deeply, so it should be checked now, and Luo Meng was still quite concerned about this - Shennongjiao was his root!
