"Boss, this is it!"
In the forest, a hunchbacked headless body stopped, holding a head with two goatees in its hand. The mouth on the head opened and closed, and it spoke flatteringly to a burly man behind it.
The man known as the boss raised the head high in his hand, looked forward, frowned, and then waved behind him.
The dozen or so burly men carrying heads at the back immediately split into two teams and spread out to both sides, forming an encirclement.
Then, he put his huge head in front of the goatee and said in a muffled voice, "Are you sure? There is something unusual here. It can't be a monster's lair. Are you trying to harm me?"
The goatee immediately cried out, "Boss, how dare I harm you? Even if you give me a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare. They are not monsters. From a distance, I can see that they are two people. They are wrapped up tightly, and their backs are bulging. They are probably the treasure thieves you are looking for!"
The boss's eyes suddenly turned fierce, and he said, "Damn it, you stole my treasure and you still want to run away? Dream on!"
Then he looked at the goatee and said, "You are a good old man, I will give you a quick death!"
After saying this, in front of the goateed man's horrified gaze, he slapped his head into a ball of meat paste.
After the photo shoot, the boss reached into a leather bag on his waist and took out a handsome young head. He grabbed the rope from the goateed man's hand and stuffed it into the head.
"Hmph, pretty boy, I'm a king who keeps my word. I said I'd spare your life, and I've made you this body. Even though it's not good enough, it's still very considerate. Get lost now!"
The young man twisted his head twice with a confused look on his face, but when he saw the ferocious boss and those murderous subordinates, he immediately fled.
The boss ignored the other party, glanced at the location pointed out by the goateed man, grabbed the rope and swung his head out. A silver light suddenly came out of his head, forming a huge silver knife, which slashed on the mountainside.
I saw a fluctuation in space, as if a barrier was cut open.
The original green grass and trees disappeared immediately, replaced by a dark hole.
"Haha, you really are hiding here, and you've even created a trick for me. Do you think my nickname of Silver Blade Demon King is for nothing?"
When the boss saw the entrance to the cave, he burst into laughter.
However, before he could finish laughing, he saw a sword light appear from the cave entrance and cut off his head!
"snort!"
Seeing this, the head not only did not dodge, but also emitted silver light again, condensing into a silver knife to block the sword light.
When the two collided, the silver knife collapsed.
The head showed an expression of disbelief, but before the sword light hit it, the rope connected to the head suddenly tightened, and the head flew back to the body in an instant, avoiding the fatal blow.
But immediately another beam of faint silver energy shot out and instantly landed on the boss's head.
The head, which still had an expression of surviving a disaster, paused for a moment, and then drooped limply.
"Big Boss!"
The men shouted in panic, but the boss's head showed no reaction. They scattered like birds and beasts and fled in different directions.
At this time, the sword light appeared again, and Xiaocao's figure shot out from the cave. In a flash, all the head-lifting monsters were killed.
"Leave one alive!"
Chen Lin spoke quickly.
Xiaocao stopped in front of the last big man, but also cut off the opponent's legs.
Chen Lin immediately went over and knocked the other party unconscious, and sealed him with a soul-soothing talisman, then took out the foundation-building puppet and controlled it to transport all the corpses back into the cave.
But he did not follow him back. Instead, he raised his hand and pointed two fingers at a place in the distance.
Xiao Cao's sword light followed closely behind.
“Swish!”
Two figures shot out from the bushes. One of them was thinner and slower, and was hit by the aftermath of Xiaocao's sword light, and his robe was torn to pieces.
Chen Lin was stunned.
This person actually has a head!
And it's on the neck!
After the robe was torn into pieces, a woman's head appeared from inside, with a panicked look on her face.
This person is actually disguised just like them!
Not only Chen Lin was shocked, but Xiao Cao was also stunned.
Due to this delay, the two figures disappeared in an instant!
Seeing Xiaocao was about to chase, Chen Lin immediately waved his hand to stop him, then returned to the cave, collected all the things, and told Xiaocao to leave.
This place can no longer be used, we must find another one.
At the same time, the appearance of this headed woman made Chen Lin feel that this place was even more confusing and he had to figure out the situation as soon as possible.
"Master, look!"
Xiaocao went around to where the two figures were hiding and brought back a hide bag with some blood stains on it, which must have been dropped by the woman who was hit by the sword light.
Chen Lin took it and wanted to put it into the storage bag, but he didn't.
He was stunned for a moment, but did not go to check. Instead, he let Xiaocao control the sword light and take the living person away quickly at low altitude.
At the foot of a mountain in the distance, behind a huge rock.
"Miss, are you okay? Ah, there is so much blood. Miss, your heart is bleeding. What should I do?"
The tall woman looked at the thin woman's back and tears streamed down her face in anxiety.
And behind the thin woman, there was a heart connected by a rope, and every time it beat, a stream of blood would spurt out.
The thin woman pulled the rope higher and brought the heart forward.
He took a look and said, "It's nothing. I'm not going to die yet. I'm just afraid I won't be able to use my magical powers for a while."
After saying that, he reached for his waist.
Then his face changed drastically.
"Oh no, my bag is lost!"
The thin woman didn't even care about her heart. She fumbled around her body in panic, then sat down on the ground with a deathly pale face.
"No, I want to go back and look for it!"
The woman put the heart back behind her back and stood up.
The tall woman tried to dissuade him, "Miss, you must not go. You have made such a big noise now, and this village is having a big market day. There must be government officials patrolling, and you are injured, you can't go!"
She gritted her teeth, covered her head with her cloak, and said, "I'll go!"
After saying that, he walked out holding the fake head.
"No!"
The thin woman waved her hands weakly.
"You're right. If we go out now, we will definitely be met by the government officials here. If they find us, it will probably implicate our family. Besides, those two people will definitely clean up the battlefield. The bag must have fallen into their hands."
Then she frowned again and asked in confusion: "Auntie Lan, did you notice that what those two people were holding was not a real head, and there was not even a trace of life rope, what's going on?"
The woman called Auntie Lan stopped and turned around and said, "I didn't sense their lifeline either. This is impossible. Could it be some ghost?"
"Not a ghost."
The thin woman shook her head. "The tall guy used a magical power that targeted the soul, and the short guy seemed to be using sword energy. Neither of them are ghostly methods."
Then she murmured to herself, "But this shouldn't be the case. How can a living person not have the breath of a lifeline?"
"Maybe there is some treasure that can block the aura. Could it be someone from the Soul Country in the west? They are best at using soul magic and concealing aura."
Aunt Lan came to the thin woman and guessed.
"Soul Country, they are very far away from here, I don't think they are that far away. Forget it, let's find a place to heal our wounds first, and then go find them and get the things back. I have memorized their mental fluctuations, and I can detect them as long as they are within a certain range!"
The two discussed for a while, then hurriedly left the place and disappeared into the vast mountains.
…
Chen Lin and Xiao Cao sneaked all the way, made a big circle, and came to the forest on the other side of the village.
He also opened up a simple cave, and after some arrangements, he began to interrogate the survivors.
No need to waste words, just use the soul-searching technique.
After a long time, Chen Lin frowned.
In the other party's memory, the people here are born with their bodies and heads separated, and there is a "life rope" connecting the body and the head.
If we make a comparison, this life rope is equivalent to a person's 'neck', which can be used to transport nutrients to the body and also to control body activities.
Except that his head was not on his neck, he was no different from a normal person like him.
"Could it be that this is just a special species and there is nothing strange about it?"
Such information made Chen Lin somewhat uncertain about his previous suspicions. He originally thought that these people's strange forms were acquired, so there must be some strange thing controlling them in the dark, such as the red line in Kaiyuan City.
But if they were born like this, it would seem normal.
After all, this is not the world he is in, and the forms of species do not necessarily have to be the same as those there. In the universe, all kinds of strange situations may exist.
Niu Niu is still a scarecrow, just as lively and energetic, eating and drinking as usual, without any delay.
Thinking of this, he felt relieved, as long as he didn't fall into the territory of some strange and powerful being.
In addition, the soul-searching information also shows that the supernatural powers of the people here are all in their heads, and their bodies only serve the brains. They can neither practice martial arts nor store energy, and they can even change their bodies at will!
The performance of magical powers and spells does not rely on spiritual power, but on a special energy between heaven and earth. This energy level is very high, and the magical powers performed are relatively much more powerful.
The silver blade light released by the big boss was actually able to withstand Xiaocao's full-strength attack. Judging from the strength of his magical power alone, he has reached the Nascent Soul level!
After thinking for a while, Chen Lin took out the leather bag that Xiaocao had picked up while cleaning the battlefield.
According to soul searching, this thing is actually a space bag, made of the skin of some monster, which has the effect of expanding space.
No wonder it can't be put into the storage bag.
However, I don’t know if it’s because of the refining method or the level limit of the monster, this kind of bag can only double the space. If you want to increase the space, you can only make the bag bigger.
The bag didn't have any spiritual imprint, so Chen Lin simply poured out everything inside.
He took a quick look and picked up a square object.
