Chapter Eighty-Five: Humanoid Monsters
"Of course I know, he is the deputy head of our Saibeilong Mercenary Regiment!" Lin Xuanqing's cold cheeks carried a hint of excitement.
"He's your deputy head of the regiment? Wasn't your regiment completely annihilated by the tide of corpses? Only you and Wu Kai were left with the two survivors in the regiment, what's going on with this guy?"
This question is exactly what Lin Xuanqing wants to ask now, and he hurriedly focused his attention on Liu Hong again: "Liu Hong, what's going on?"
Liu Hong, who was covered in blood, had already been frightened to the point that the three souls went to the seven spirits, although a familiar person appeared in front of him, but his face was still pale, he did not come out of the huge fright just now, his eyes looked at Lin Xuanqing with a wooden look, and he trembled when he spoke: "I...... I don't know what's going on in the road, when I was attacked by the first wave of corpses, I was separated from the large army, and then I was besieged by a large number of walking corpses, and after all the aura was exhausted, I was knocked out by a group of people in black, and when I woke up again, I ...... I ......"
"What are you, say it quickly!" Lin Xuanqing urged with a little anxiety.
Liu Hong swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and his teeth couldn't stop chattering: "I saw that the blood demon was gnawing at the corpse, and there were a few people who were still alive who wanted to escape, but they were swallowed alive by the blood demon." As he spoke, Liu Hong stretched out his trembling fingers and pointed to the corners of the tomb.
Shen Mo thought that what Liu Hong said about 'devouring alive' was an adjective, but when he followed Liu Hong's instructions and looked over, Shen Mo was stunned and stunned, because in the direction that Liu Hong was pointing, there were really a few human skins.
These skins were all very intact, except for a wound on the cover of the Heavenly Spirit, like a cloth bag.
"And how did you survive?" asked Shen Mo, not looking at the oozing human skins.
The silent question seemed to stimulate Liu Hong a lot, and the whole person's spirit instantly withered, and his body trembled violently: "I...... I don't know what to say, when the monster reached me, I was powerless to resist, but instead of killing me directly, it bit me on the wrist and threw me into a pool of blood. ”
Hearing this, Marita was stunned and exclaimed, "What did you just say? He bit you?!"
Liu Hong nodded mechanically: "I don't know what the road is for, after I was thrown into the blood pool, I didn't feel any impact except fear, and the external injuries caused by my battle with the walking corpse have also healed." ”
"What's going on?" Lin Xuanqing frowned slightly, looking a little dazed.
As soon as the words fell, Marita had a cold face and said in a deep voice: "Because he is dead!"
"What do you mean by that?"
Not only did Lin Xuanqing not understand, but even Shen Mo was confused.
Marita's face was serious, two sharp eyes shot out from her slightly narrowed eyes, looked at Liu Hong, and said in a firm tone: "When he was bitten by the Blood Demon, he was already poisoned by the corpse, and the corpse poison of the Blood Demon is several times more violent than the corpse poison of ordinary walking corpses, and it can kill him instantly! But the corpse poison in his body can vacate his body, and now what appears in front of us is not the previous Liu Hong, but a walking corpse." If nothing else, he's already under the control of the Blood Fiend!"
"What?!" Shen Mo and Lin Xuanqing exclaimed in unison, although this kind of thing was very appalling, but from Marita's mouth, the two of them did not have the slightest suspicion.
With a solemn face, Marita continued, "If my guess is correct, the walking corpse has already conveyed our message to the Blood Demon on the first day we set foot in this area, and the Blood Demon has long known that we will come, and has deliberately set a trap to catch us all; Liu Hong is just a pawn to attract our attention. ”
Hearing this, Shen Mo's already relaxed fist clenched again, black light began to shine, and his eyes continued to scan the surroundings, and just as Shen Mo was about to look up at the top of his head, he suddenly felt as if a drop of blood was dripping on his cheek.
Although it was just a drop of blood, the taste contained on it was comparable to the blood pit in front of it;
Shen Mo was startled, his head was raised, and when he saw the rock wall above his head, Shen Mo's heart chuckled, and an unprecedented sense of oppression spread all over his body in an instant. The reason why Shen Mo reacted so much was because on the rock wall above his head, there was a humanoid monster covered in blood, staring at Shen Mo with a pair of dark red eyes.
"Not good!"
At the moment when these two words were shouted, the humanoid monster's claws tightly clasped on the rock wall loosened, and it directly pounced on Shen Mo in a free-fall posture.
Looking at the monster that fell head-on, Shen Mo didn't dare to hesitate at all, kicked his legs, and pounced forward; then supported the ground with both hands, and did a standard front flip, successfully resolving the crisis; but Shen Mo was not happy, because he found that the humanoid monster directly attacked Lin Xuanqing, who had not had time to react, while falling to the ground.
Five claws like dead branches grabbed Lin Xuanqing's face;
At the last moment, Marita, who was relatively close to Lin Xuanqing, dodged in front of Lin Xuanqing, opened her mouth, and a scorching pillar of fire shot towards the humanoid monster.
The flames that Marita spewed out were not comparable to ordinary flames, and the astonishing heat melted the humanoid monster in an instant.
When the crisis was lifted, Lin Xuanqing reacted, but she was not nervous because of the danger just now, but looked at Marita with complicated eyes;
Although the three of them are now on the same front, Lin Xuanqing has a strange feeling in his heart when he recalled the Liang Zi he formed when he was in the mercenary union, and Marita saved herself at a critical moment, does this mean that Marita has released her previous suspicions? Or does it have the mentality that the enemy of the enemy is a friend?
Shen Mo and Marita didn't know what Lin Xuanqing was thinking, because the two of them were all thinking about the humanoid monster just now at this moment.
Just now, Shen Mo thought that the humanoid monster was the Blood Demon, but could the Blood Demon be defeated so easily? This is obviously impossible!
And just as he was silently uneasy, a 'popping' sound of climbing came from the other side of the cavern, and a moment later, three more humanoid monsters crawled down the rock wall above their heads into the burial chamber.
Seeing these three monsters, the heart of silent speculation can be regarded as settled, as long as it is not a blood demon, it is easy to deal with!
Silent did not hesitate, the fist that had already been ready to attack bombarded out against one of the monsters, and the roaring black dragon instantly tore that monster apart, and the aftermath hit the rock wall unabated, and the huge power made the entire tomb shake violently, and countless dust fell at any time.
Not to be outdone, Lin Xuanqing waved the Xiaofeng Demon Breaking Sword in his hand, and a green semicircular wind blade was released, splitting a monster in two from the center of her body;
When the monster's whimpering ended and the scene returned to quiet, Shen Mo realized that these four humanoid monsters should be the owners of the four human skins, and they became this virtue after being skinned by the blood demon.
And just when everyone was paying attention to the bodies of these four humanoid monsters, Liu Hong, who had been by Lin Xuanqing's side, suddenly let out a careful scream, and then pounced on Lin Xuanqing's back like a fierce beast that had lost his mind.
Because everything happened too suddenly, no one expected Liu Hong to attack Lin Xuanqing at this time, under the close encounter, Lin Xuanqing was thrown to the ground before he had time to react, and in an instant, he felt that his shoulder was bitten hard by Liu Hong, and a heart-piercing pain rushed to his brain.
"Liu Hong!" Lin Xuanqing exclaimed.
At this moment, Liu Hong's eyes are bloody, and his pale face has no expression, which is very different from just now;
Marita was relatively close to Lin Xuanqing, rushed to Lin Xuanqing's side with an arrow, reached out and grabbed Liu Hong's neck, pulled it back, and pulled Liu Hong away from Lin Xuanqing's body, followed by a flying leg, which hit Liu Hong's abdomen, knocking Liu Hong's whole person away, and slammed it on the opposite rock wall.
Liu Hong, as the deputy head of the Saibeilong Mercenary Group, naturally has good strength, and now he seems to have lost his mind, so Rao is heavy blow from Marita, but he still stood up tremblingly at the first time and continued to walk towards the three of them.
Lin Xuanqing endured the pain in his shoulders and looked at Liu Hong in disbelief: "Liu Hong, wake up!"
Marita shook her head and sighed, "It's useless, he's just a walking corpse controlled by the Blood Demon, and he's already lost his mind." ”
Just as Marita was about to bombard Liu Hong with one punch, Shen Mo suddenly blocked in front of Marita.
"You can't bear to kill him, do you?" said Marita, frowning and looking at Shen Mo in confusion.
"Of course not, I have an idea. Shen Mo made a calm gesture to Marita, and then a slight step flashed in front of Liu Hong.
When Liu Hong saw Shen Mo, he instinctively opened his mouth to bite, but before he could bite, he was grabbed by Shen Mo's throat, raised his foot and kicked heavily on Liu Hong's two knees, only to hear two crisp 'gaba' sounds, Liu Hong's knees were directly broken by Shen Mo.
Losing the support of his knees, Liu Hong instinctively knelt on the ground, and his throat was grabbed by Shen Mo, so he could only open his teeth and claws ruthlessly, but he couldn't threaten Shen Mo in the slightest.
Under the incomprehensible gaze of Marita and Lin Xuanqing, Shen Mo put the two fingers of his other hand on Liu Hong's head, and actually poured his own aura into Liu Hong's body.
"Shen Mo, what are you doing?!" Lin Xuanqing exclaimed.
Marita next to her guessed Shen Mo's intentions, waved her hand at Lin Xuanqing, and said with a smile: "I know the truth, Shen Mo wants to directly invade his divine sense into Liu Hong's body, and with the connection between Liu Hong and the Blood Demon, follow the vine to find out the exact location of the Blood Demon!"
