In front of the main control room.

Rainwater penetrates the humus-covered woodland through the gaps between the branches and leaves.

A naked, dark red paw with sores on the surface stepped on a half-dead branch, making a "click~" sound.

Spears made of sticks and short knives flicked as they went, and suddenly leaned forward, picking up the monster's skin on the ground, and the flesh inside was devoured, leaving only a few white bones with fascia to fall.

The skin, which was so fresh that there was even a little bit of hot air, was picked up by the spear to a position of about six or seven meters, and a strange head shaped like an erect rugby ball passed through the rain curtain and came to the monster's skin.

In the deep sunken eye sockets, two shriveled eyeballs turned, and the two triangular cavities contracted in what should have been the nose.

It's sniffing the breath above.

"Goo~Kaka~"

The fang-filled mouth opens and closes, making short, shrill sounds.

The necklaces of bone fragments hanging from the neck collide with each other as it moves.

Suddenly a vicious wolf sprang out of the bushes next to it, and as it passed the strange man, the latter grabbed the back of its neck and rolled over, running towards the main control room, where the gate had been dismantled.

Following the passage opened by Yan Jing and Tiger Firefly, they quickly reached the core area of the main control room.

As soon as he entered, the strange man's eyes fell on the numerous mechanical cabinets placed against the wall.

It apparently didn't know what the cabinets were really for, but when it found out that they had been opened, it kept stabbing with a spear, as if trying to kill something that might be hiding inside.

The sound of the spear tip colliding with the mechanical cabinet door continued for some time, causing smoke and dust to fill the air.

The strange man never found the intruder, and became more and more irritable, constantly beating in place as if in a madness, letting out a strange muffled roar, and after a while he looked at the wolf that followed him, and slapped it on the forehead.

As if given an order, the wolf turned around and rushed out, but just as it was about to reach the door, two sharp thorns fell from the sky, piercing its head and crest, and nailing it directly to the floor.

This sudden change also startled the monster, and he grabbed the spear in both hands and looked up at the ceiling, facing the tiger firefly in the form of an alien insect.

Xu was frightened by Hu Ying's hideous posture and lost his mind, and the strange man froze in place.

Before it could react, Yan Jing landed on the ground, raised his foot and stepped on the back of the strange man's neck, pinning it to the floor.

Taiqing Treasure Urn - Soul Suppression!

The spirit rune dedicated to the sealing of living creatures was instantly outlined and integrated into the body of the strange man.

The strange man who was still struggling a second ago froze directly in place as if he had been immobilized.

"Tiger Firefly, keep outside and don't let any living creatures get close."

Yan Jing first gave instructions to Hu Ying, and when it ran out, he looked down at the strange man on the ground.

His eyes swept between the spear and the bone necklace around the strange man's neck, and the rags wrapped around his waist, thinking of the pile of white bones he saw before entering the main control room, and the confusion in Yan Jing's eyes became more and more intense.

What the hell is this guy in front of you?

If it is said that it is a monster created by evil energy, it still maintains the size of a human being, can use weapons, wear clothes and jewelry, and judging from its actions just now, it has a lot of spiritual intelligence.

This was very different from any kind of evil monster that Yan Jing had seen in the Divine World.

Could it be that the survivors of the year were corrupted by evil energy and transformed into strange people?

In the great battle of that year, the evacuation of the empty dragon boat could not be exhaustive, the evil invasion was too fierce, and there were always some people who were left behind and sacrificed, and the outer fortress was even more so as the first line of defense.

If the survivors thrive in such a hostile environment, there is no guarantee that they will not be affected by the evil energy......

This seems to be the only plausible explanation.

Yan Jing couldn't convince himself with this explanation.

Even if this strange man was mutated by the survivors, it has only been a few decades, and the degree to which its appearance has changed is too exaggerated.

Not to mention the language it doesn't understand, its ability to control evil monsters.

If it weren't for the weapons it used, the outfit was too inferior, Yan Jing even suspected that this strange man came from a humanoid race in another dimension.

For the time being, the thought of studying this strange man was suppressed.

Yan Jing didn't know much about the history of the Shenzhou world, and he wasn't a biologist himself.

Instead of wasting time here, it is better to complete the task as soon as possible and bring this weirdo back to do some research.

Throw the strange man directly into the Kunpeng space and let a few alien insects watch it.

After getting the key core data element, Yan Jing did not stay in the main control room for a long time, and immediately prepared to go to the energy room.

Because of the discovery of a strange person with a psychic mind, Yan Jing became more and more cautious in his stealth without being sure if there were more similar beings on this floating island.

Fortunately, with the current strength of him and Hu Ying, with some props bought in advance, it didn't take much effort to touch the energy room, and he didn't meet any strangers on the way, and even the monsters that were eroded by evil energy only occasionally bumped into one or two low-level goods.

Twenty minutes later, Yan Jing successfully infiltrated the energy snow storage area.

This time it went much smoother than before.

Because the storage of solid blood requires some specific conditions, the snow storage area is placed more than ten meters underneath, which is the main reason why the scouts believe that this part of the energy may be preserved for a long time.

And that's exactly what happened.

With the passage closed, neither the Evil nor the Freaks were clearly smart enough to enter a code to open the passage or pry open the heavy metal door, and they themselves had no interest in solid blood.

The only fly in the ointment was that the battle consumed so much energy that Yan Jing only saw a third of the entire warehouse when he arrived at the storeroom.

At this point, the three reconnaissance targets against the fortress were only left to record the distribution of monsters.

Considering that he would have to go to the airport for a second reconnaissance later, Yan Jing had no intention of resting.

The energy storage room was resealed and the next phase of the operation was immediately launched.

It's not easy to figure out the distribution of monster groups on the floating island, and it's a waste of time to take close-range reconnaissance, that is, to explore everywhere step by step.

】

Therefore, Yan Jing's plan was very simple, use the terrain of this floating island, go directly to the highest place, and then use the detection ball thrown out by the glasses to monitor the movement of monsters on the entire floating island.

There is no need for too detailed conclusions.

Yan Jing only needed to find out the general situation and find a suitable landing site for the expeditionary fleet.

Let the tiger firefly turn back into the form of an evil monster again, and ride it out of the woodland to the highest point of the central peak of the floating island.

Of course, Yan Jing was not stupid enough to really stand at the highest point.

You must know that there is a large area of bare rocks, and when Hu Hotaru and he poke there, it is a very conspicuous meat target, and it is difficult not to attract attention.

In the end, he chose to fall on a convex stone platform.

Hu Ying turned back to the appearance of an orange cat to guard against the surroundings, and Yan Jing used the Taiqing Treasure Urn again to hide the area he was in with a hidden fog charm to avoid reconnaissance from the outside world.

The detection balls attached to the glasses were all released, and Yan Jing took out the topographic map of the floating island that the reconnaissance team had prepared for him in advance, and then manipulated the detection balls to the target area that might be suitable for landing.

The rest of the matter is very simple, Yan Jing only needs to record the situation in these areas with the detection ball, and at the same time mark the corresponding information on the topographic map, which is nothing more than spending more time than the first two tasks.

The rain is still expanding as time goes on.

Yan Jing listened to the noisy sound of rain around him, his gaze wandering between the dozen or so images in front of him, while he was distracted, his pencil swiping back and forth on the scroll, recording information that might come in handy in the follow-up.

In general, the number of monsters on the floating island where the main fortress of the northern defense line was located was somewhat beyond expectations, and the number of monsters that Yan Jing had discovered now was at least five or more than five monster races, in addition to the group of evil spirits flying in the air when he first approached.

Because there was no close contact, Yan Jing had no way of knowing the strength level and special abilities of these monsters, and could only judge by their form and mark them on the scrolls.

Just as Yan Jing was thinking about where the fleet would land from the most suitable place for battle, the picture in the upper left corner of his eyes caught his attention.

This picture was originally filmed of the group of coral-like evil cults, but just as Yan Jing was looking down at the scroll just now, the group of evil cults suddenly moved, splitting to the sides, revealing the ...... floating in the sky

Balloon?

Seeing the footage of the detection ball, Yan Jing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Raise your hand to enlarge the screen.

The clarity continued to refresh one after another, until the appearance of this monster was completely presented in front of Yan Jing's eyes.

A balloon that seems to be condensed from flesh and blood.

Yan Jing asked himself if he knew anything about evil spirits, and knew that although this kind of monster could not fight with the word "reason", they did have a difference in rank, and their strength and weakness were clear.

At this time, the "balloon" in the picture can make the group of evil spirits automatically make way to open the way, which means that its rank is beyond the latter, and it belongs to a higher level existence.

For this reason, Yan Jing specially mobilized two other detection balls nearby to track the movement of this "balloon".

Intuition told Yan Jing that the appearance of the "balloon" was no accident, and that its route obviously had a definite destination.

Yan Jing, who had just finished the map of the distribution of monsters, decisively turned off the other screens, leaving only the detection ball that monitored the balloon and rode the tiger firefly to track it over.
