Mechanical Flesh

Qi Yuan also frowned, and he also found a trace of abnormality in this young hunter.

Qi Yuan originally thought that the villagers of Longgu Village were intelligent polluters, but the blood that flowed from the young hunter's wound just now was red.

But if he is a normal person, he feels that he lacks something compared to ordinary people.

"Let's go to the front first. It seems that he only took the head of the prey. From the corpse of the worm, we may be able to find some abnormalities." Mo Sheng said.

A few people continued to walk forward along the bloodstains in the forest. It didn't take long before they saw the corpse of a headless insect.

It was a dark blue insect beast with a layer of fine scales covering its body. Its slender limbs were full of strength, and its sharp claws reflected the cold light.

Qi Yuan recalled for a moment, and confirmed that none of the panic beasts in his memory could match the headless corpse in front of him.

"I've never seen this kind of worm, has any of you seen it?" Mo Sheng asked.

Shi Fan said with an ugly face, "I haven't seen it either."

Xia Zhiqiao also shook her head.

"This is troublesome." Mo Sheng said.

If this is a familiar worm, it proves that this weird place is still on Seablue Star, but such a worm that has never been seen before has extinguished their hopes.

"There is no source crystal in its body." Xia Zhiqiao said suddenly.

Mo Sheng and Shi Fan were stunned at the same time, and then carefully looked at the headless insect corpse in front of them. There was indeed no energy fluctuation of the source crystal inside.

Generally speaking, the source crystal will exist in the body of the panic beast, and some will even replace the heart. Only a very small number of the source crystal of the panic beast is in the head.

Except for the lack of a head, the other parts of the panic beast's body were relatively intact, and there were no signs of dismemberment. Obviously, the young hunter who had just left did not have a laparotomy.

In this case, the source crystal should stay in the corpse.

where did it go

In other words, there is no source crystal in the panic beast here!

But the source crystal is the source of the panic beast's power. If there is no source crystal in the body, how can the panic beast here display its high-level strength?

Mo Sheng carefully inspected the wound of the headless worm corpse, and slowly restored the process of it being killed.

"There are no traces left by the power of the elements on its body. The shot in the heart has already injured the heart, but this shot is not fatal. He was severely injured by a strong external force, making him unable to move, and then he was chopped off alive. head."

"The scale armor and skin are extremely tough, which can greatly weaken the external impact, but the sharp claws can easily tear through most of the seventh-level defenses. With the strength of this corpse, it is difficult for ordinary seventh-level to injure it, let alone Say kill it."

What Mo Sheng didn't say was that with the physical strength of this worm beast, his strength was not inferior to his own at all. If he wanted to kill it, he would probably need three people to join forces.

And the young hunter just now, he did it alone!

"That young hunter is really strong." Shi Fan said.

Just now, he had already planned to intercept and kill the young hunter, snatch the prey by force, and use violent means to ask for information, but in the end he didn't do it, not only because Mo Sheng and others were unwilling to take risks, but also because he felt that even this young hunter Even if he was injured, he might not be his opponent.

If a random worm is so powerful, there must be more powerful worms here. If you continue to go deeper, even if you encounter prey, it may be difficult for a few people who are on guard against each other to take it down.

And even if he can control it, he is not willing to let Xia Zhiqiao enslave such a powerful worm.

It would be fine if it was a mediocre worm beast, but if such a powerful worm beast fell into Xia Zhiqiao's hands, it would easily lose its strength.

"We are far away from Dragon Bone Village. I suggest going back first to see the process of their sacrifice, and then discuss what to do." Shi Fan said.

Although Mo Sheng wanted to continue exploring, he finally nodded and decided to go back to Dragon Bone Village first.

In the dense forest, it is easy to get lost, but for the strong Tianqi, this problem does not exist at all, not to mention that there is a faint smell of blood leading the way ahead.

When they returned to Longgu Village, the sacrifice had not yet started, but villagers had rushed back one after another. The four of them gathered together and carefully observed the returning villagers.

When the sun was about to set, the village head personally lit a bunch of burning flames around the altar. The orange-red flames seemed to complement the sunset glow in the sky.

When the flames ignited, all the villagers left their houses and gathered around the altar, watching the burning fire in silence. Except for the occasional coughing of the village chief and the explosion of burning branches, no one spoke. .

"Go and have a look." Mo Sheng said in a low voice.

The four of them quietly leaned over, standing outside and observing the villagers here.

With so many high-ranking powerhouses gathered together, even Xia Zhiqiao, who had always had a cold attitude, seemed a little nervous.

Including the village chief, there are a total of 97 villagers here, all of whom are high-ranking powerhouses. If such a huge force is placed outside, it is enough to crush all the shelters. Behemoths can stand against it.

However, they were trapped in such a weird world and could not leave.

Looking at these silent villagers, the moods of the few people inevitably fell a lot. With so many strong people unable to leave, can they really escape?

Many villagers had wounds on their bodies, and a strong smell of blood permeated the air, some from the villagers themselves, and some from insects and beasts.

Qi Yuan took a casual look and saw that four villagers were holding the heads of insect beasts in their hands. The rest of the villagers were all empty-handed, obviously not catching prey.

The village chief glanced at the sun in the sky, and then scanned the crowd with cloudy eyes. He only paused for half a second on the four of them, and then looked at a few villagers who had successfully hunted.

"Well, the sun is about to set, Ye Songling has not returned, he should have entered reincarnation, waiting to be born again."

Ye Songling!

Qi Yuan recalled it for a while, and found that he had no memory of the name at all, but Qi Yuan noticed that Shi Fan clenched his right hand suddenly when he heard the name.

The village head stood on the altar, stretched out his right hand, drew a wound on the palm of his hand, and then pressed it on the headless statue. Scarlet blood gushed out from the wound, staining the statue red.

Qi Yuan keenly discovered that with the gushing of blood, the statue, which could not see anything unusual at first, seemed to be awakened, and began to emit a mysterious wave, and at the same time, a faint light radiated from the statue open.

Qi Yuan suddenly felt that the light above the statue seemed familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

After a while, the village head let go of his right hand that was pressing on the statue, and turned to look at the people under the altar.

"Start the sacrifice!"

All the villagers looked solemn, and a man carrying an offering stepped up to the altar step by step.
