Chapter 51: Unwilling to Hold Back (1st Update)
"Bloodflies! Dead bloodflies!" As the black dots of the flight kept getting closer, the deputy team finally affirmed what they saw, and their eyes widened and they couldn't help but scream.
The general team, which was still fighting with the brute beasts far away, immediately heard this shout, and immediately withdrew from the battle circle, and then flashed again, escaping from the sight of the two brute beasts. Looking into the distance, I saw five or six, seven or eight, a continuous large number of small black dots flying from here, just from the appearance can be judged at a glance, it is the undead blood fly shouted out of the mouth of the former!
Almost as soon as this thing was confirmed, the main team immediately and completely withdrew from the range of the brute beast herd, returned to the position where the second team was, and shouted to Xia Jiang for a request to retreat immediately.
Xia Jiang did have some understanding of this wild land, but it happened that he had never heard of this so-called "undead blood fly", but from the tone of the general team, he sensed danger, so he simply retreated and returned to the front of the convoy after putting down the last blood-eyed bull nearby.
"What is it, it doesn't look big?" Xia Jiang glanced at the team, and couldn't help but wonder about it.
After all, Xia Jiang was only in his teens, so it was not surprising that he didn't know this kind of thing, and the general team was not surprised, and immediately said gloomily: "Legend has it that a hundred years ago, there was a big war here, the two sides were the world's top three mercenary regiments and the Dugu Empire's largest new regiment of influence, there were tens of thousands of people at that time, all of them were masters of monks and above, and there were even many powerful beings at the level of great cultivators. Originally, the battle between the two sides was inseparable, and according to the rules of the mercenary world, a third party should intervene in the negotiation to end the dispute, but at this time, a wave of small wild birds of prey that came out of nowhere attacked the mercenary group......"
Just hearing this, Xia Jiang saw that the face of the general team became ugly, and he actually glanced at the black dot as if he was a little scared, and made sure that there was still a long distance before he continued: "No one knows what happened after that, everyone only knows that the result, including a major cultivator sent by our Xia Kingdom, none of them came out alive! Tens of thousands of people all died under the attack of this immortal bloodfly......
"Immortal Bloodflies......" When Xia Jiang heard this, he finally couldn't help but pay attention to it, and looked at the small black dot that flew in.
From a distance, the small flying black dot should probably be only the size of an ordinary bird in my impression, and it is indeed a small bird in this world, but it looks like it......
With his extraordinary eyesight, Xia Jiang gradually saw it clearly, and he couldn't help but get hairy all over his body! It's not that it's too terrifying, but it's like that, it actually looks very similar to a fly! No wonder it's called a blood fly, there are also many fly creatures in this world, but there are no flies, but all kinds of flies with the power of blood.
At this moment, Xia Jiang saw that the nearest undead blood fly was flying, constantly rubbing and shaking from the lower part of the body, and with this shaking, it actually emitted a miniature yellow-green liquid like a point of light that was extremely imperceptible to the naked eye, but all the brute bulls that were spread to the body by this liquid began to stir, as if they were afraid of something and as if they were avoiding the attack of the blood fly, and they went on a rampage.
Then, Xia Jiang saw that there was also a blood fly on its side, which was also spreading this disgusting liquid when it looked at, but after the amplitude of its flight shaking quickly decreased, suddenly the direction of its flight changed, and it actually flew towards the nearest rampaging bull.
The flight speed was neither fast nor slow, as if it was just randomly stopping at the nearest brute bull, but the moment it stopped there, suddenly a needle shot out of its mouthparts, like a straw inserted into the body of the brute bull, and then I saw a large amount of that kind of particulate liquid began to be transported in the needle......
Xia Jiang stared at the scene that happened there, and felt an indescribable strange taste, the body was so huge, the skin of the blood-eyed brute-eyed bull of the iron bone of King Kong was actually pierced so lightly, and as the yellow liquid was transported for a longer time, the movement of the blood-eyed brute bull began to gradually slow down, and in the end, the whole thing was completely still, and the bloody eyes were still staring, but they were so unresponsive to the destruction of the bloodflies on their bodies.
It wasn't until about three minutes later, when the convoy had slowly retreated more than ten meters, that Xia Jiang clearly saw the final scene, the delivery of the yellow liquid ended, and instead of an unimaginable amount of red blood began to be visibly sucked into the body of the blood fly, and the body, which was almost shriveled due to the delivery of yellow liquid, began to grow rapidly, becoming as huge as a small bull, and the whole body finally turned blood red.
However, Xia Jiang thought that this was the end, but the next thing was to let him know what "immortality" was, and he saw the blood-eyed brute who fell to the ground because he was almost sucked dry, and the skin of King Kong's iron bones actually began to dry and crack, and about seven or eight tiny claws pierced and tore apart from the skin at the same time, revealing dozens of small blood flies inside, as well as dozens of egg-like wriggling things......
Xia Jiang didn't want to continue watching, he didn't feel the need to watch anymore, because he knew what this legendary horror thing was.
"Master, what should we do, will we return to the palace?" The team watched as the blood flies became more and more, and kept attacking the wild bulls, or it would not be long before they would become a new territory for the undead blood flies to descend. Although he only heard the legend, his intuition was that if he was targeted by this immortal blood fly, the people here might not be able to escape the tragic end of the mercenary group a hundred years ago.
In fact, in addition to a hundred years ago, there have been many rumors in the past hundred years, but they are not as desperate and frightening as they were a hundred years ago.
"Return to the palace?......" Xia Jiang listened to the change of the team's address to him at this time, but he didn't pay attention, but heard the word "return", which made him feel very harsh.
This time, he took the initiative to propose to his father to go to the new territory alone in advance, according to the rules, everyone set off together in about a month, even if his father did not personally escort them, he would send a real master like the old general to escort them, so it would be much safer, but since he took the initiative to come out, if he couldn't go halfway because of something, wouldn't he be a joke?
"No!" Xia Jiang immediately denied the idea of the team, and said, "Since you are ready, why do you retreat when you encounter a little difficulty?" Xia Jiang's gaze quickly became firm, sweeping towards the more and more blood flies.
Not only that, but seeing his huge interests being robbed, and the brute beast with the iron body of King Kong and the proud ability being tortured and killed like this, he was very unhappy in his heart, and he was not willing to retreat.
And at this moment, the fifteenth princess Xia Ziqi's harsh voice suddenly remembered in the convoy, Xia Jiang immediately turned his head to look, only to see him pointing into the distance, making a trembling voice of fear: "Then, what is there?"
Xia Jiang didn't know that she was wearing a magic weapon mask, and thought that she had also seen those blood flies, but when she turned around and looked back, she saw a strange scene: a very thin and inhuman white humanoid figure was running from a distance, and the leader one, holding the same white magic weapon in his hand, was obviously attacking the blood flies in the sky.
"What kind of ...... is this" Seeing this scene, Xia Jiang couldn't help but be stunned, and he didn't know what was going on today, and the things he encountered were stranger than the other.
But this time, apparently, even the captain didn't know him.
However, as the white thin figure finally approached, Xia Jiang no longer felt strange after seeing their appearance clearly, but instead of shock.
What is completely eye-catching is not an extremely thin figure at all, but bones with no flesh and skin at all, to be precise, it should be ...... Skeletons! A large number of humanoids that were entirely skeletons approached this way, all attacking the undead bloodflies in the sky.
"My subordinates have never seen anything like this, master, let's go back to the palace first, this is definitely not a place to stay for a long time!" Compared to the blood flies, this time the face of the team showed an incomparably solemn color, this is indeed the first time he has encountered it, even if he thinks that he has the same strength as the cultivator level, but when he encounters this kind of extremely strange thing, he can only dodge from afar.
This time, Xia Jiang really didn't dare to hold it up, and he couldn't help but think twice, it was really that he was too unfamiliar with this world, and he thought he knew most of the things in this area, but he didn't expect to encounter this strange species again and again without going far.
However, just when he had the idea of retreating, he remembered a long-lost voice in his mind, which was actually an old man.
"Senior, are you awake?" Xia Jiang hurriedly tried to communicate with the old man as he retreated.
"Well, this is a good job, not only the double cultivation is successful, but also the realization of the [Demon Addiction] state, the old man can stay for a long time this time. The old man's voice sounded again.
Xia Jiang didn't have time to say much at the moment, so he hurriedly gestured: "Senior, take a look, what are these things in front of me?" Xia Jiang knew early on that the old man could feel his senses, so as long as he looked around with his heart, the old man could feel it immediately.
Then what made Xia Jiang immediately have to admire, the old man was worthy of being an old antique who called himself a super strong man, and he recognized these three things at a glance, but he still didn't forget to reprimand Xia Jiang's ignorance, and then he began to explain.
First of all, the blood-eyed bull, as explained by several captains, its blood-colored eyes have a powerful devouring ability, but according to what the old man said, the eyes of these bulls are not sound, as if these bulls are low-level creatures with impure blood, it may be that the race has undergone some great changes, the bloodline has become weaker, and the power of their bloody eyes is thousands of times stronger than now.
Then the undead blood fly, the old man's answer here had to make Xia Jiang re-recognize, because the "immortality" mentioned by the undead blood fly was not the super reproductive ability he thought it was at all, but this creature was really difficult to kill, even if it chopped its body into pieces, it only needed a little bit of that yellow particle liquid to be able to resurrect through guò blood, and have all the memories before death!
In the end, what Xia Jiang didn't expect at all was that those white skeleton humanoid creatures were not monsters at all, but complete human beings, and it was precisely because they were attacked by this bloodfly breeding creature that all the organs in their bodies were polluted except for bones, so they had to give up their flesh and blood, cultivate their bones and bodies, and become a special people.
