Through the tangled branches of the petrified wood, Luo Yuan's face was solemn. This was a strange life that he had never seen before.
Different from those ordinary mutant creatures, although the shape, size and even abilities of these life forms have undergone overwhelming changes since the end of the world, they are still classified as life forms that can be recognized by ordinary people.
For example, a beast will still be a beast after mutating, a bird will still be a bird after mutating, and an insect will still be an insect after mutating. At least that's how it looks in appearance.
But this mysterious life completely subverted Luo Yuan's knowledge and made Luo Yuan extremely fearful.
At this time, the mercury lake changed again!
At the edge of the lake, a whirlpool about two meters wide gradually appeared. The whirlpool was very deep. From a distance, it was about five meters deep, but it still couldn't be seen. Considering that the whirlpool was close to the edge of the lake, it meant that the lake was It's very deep. Based on its area of about one square kilometer, this mysterious creature is obviously an unimaginable behemoth.
A few seconds later, a ball began to appear on the top of the vortex. As time went by, a human head gradually emerged as if it were 3D printed, followed by the head and neck, torso, limbs, and finally even clothes. Appear.
What makes people feel chilling is that this human body is lifelike and detailed, even the scar on the face is exactly the same. If it weren't for the silvery white color all over, it would be just like a real person.
Wu Qianru, who had a numb face before but had been corroded, saw this human figure appear, suddenly looked frightened, and struggled desperately. However, the "mercury" underneath her body seemed to have a strong stickiness, clinging to her tightly. No matter how hard she struggled, she could not move.
"It seems that this is the vice-captain!" Looking at the scene in the distance, Luo Yuan's eyes were solemn and thoughtful.
This mercury lake seems to have no real form. Its main ability is probably to copy and copy all the creatures it captures. Previously, it was trapped underground, and there was no life here. Except for the creature that looked like a snake or an earthworm, No other creatures were encountered.
Therefore, the only thing it could transform into was a snake or an earthworm before. It wasn't until it captured the second kind of life, a human being, that it began to transform into a human form.
The "vice-captain" had no expression on his face. As soon as he landed on the shore, he ran forward like the mercury earthworm. He had already vaguely guessed that the purpose of this mysterious life was to break free from the cage and find a way out.
Luo Yuan's face was uncertain. This place is located inside the reconstruction area. Luo Yuan simply couldn't imagine letting him leave here.
Once it is given enough time, it can develop a huge army, and as more and more lives are eroded by it, its size will further expand. If it is not killed in time, if the situation worsens, Humanity, which has been struggling to support itself, may be severely damaged.
He frowned as he looked at the "clone" mercury lake that was continuing to brew in the distance.
Facing such a huge and mysterious life, the sword skills he was proud of were completely useless. The knife could not cause any harm to this fluid life.
Even if he takes a step back, he can kill one or two of them, or even hundreds of thousands of clones, but he can't face its huge body.
Reason told him that he must return to Hope City immediately and report the situation here to the top management in a timely manner.
Moreover, he has not accepted the task until now, leaving him without any loss. As for Wu Qianru, it was a chance encounter. Before that, he didn't know her at all.
Even if he dies, he doesn’t feel any guilt!
He has never been a loving person, and he always tries to save people within his own power. He will not risk his life to save others.
He glanced regretfully at Wu Qianru in the distance, then quickly floated up and flew overhead. He felt a little anxious in his heart. After a while, three more "humanoid" clones formed and ran in four directions. .
However, after flying for less than half a minute, he suddenly stopped and looked to the left.
A humanoid clone is climbing rapidly on the rock wall. It is extremely fast, like a flexible ape. Its liquid body seems to produce an adsorption force when it touches the rock wall, even if the rock wall is here. It was almost parallel to the ground, and it had no impact on it at all.
The shackles of the snake-shaped body prevent it from leaving here forever. However, the humanoid clone formed this time has an opportunity to break free from the cage.
"We must not let this clone leave here!" Luo Yuan's expression suddenly changed. Once the main body finds the exit and escapes from here, the consequences will be unimaginable. Moreover, he has no idea whether the clone can form an independent individual, but as long as there is a slight possibility, He didn't even want to gamble.
He silently approached the rock wall, then kicked his feet violently, and his body shot towards it quickly like an arrow from the string. The humanoid clone was vaguely aware of it, and his body paused slightly, but maybe it had always been The life of living underground made it lose its basic sense of crisis. It didn't react at all until Luo Yuan drew his sword out of its sheath and the light of the sword passed away, separating its head and body.
However, it was useless. This mercury-like liquid had great density and viscosity. Luo Yuan slashed it with a knife, and the wound began to bond quickly. However, he had already expected it in his heart and did not panic at all.
Before it could react, countless sword lights flashed instantly, and a hazy light seemed to suddenly appear in front of its eyes.
Throat, temple, heart, ****... The sword light was like a storm, almost in no particular order, passing by instantly. In less than a second, the humanoid clone was hit by sixty or seventy knives.
If it were a normal creature, it would have been dead long ago and could not die again. Unfortunately, the effect was very limited. It was not even injured. The opponent's wounds had healed as soon as the attack stopped.
"I don't believe it. You can't deal with the main body, and you can't deal with a clone." Luo Yuan was shocked, but more angry.
Since entering the reconstruction area, although he has lived a comfortable life most of the time, his strength has not stopped growing. On the contrary, due to the transformation period, his strength has grown faster than before.
Compared with when he first entered the reconstruction area and faced green-level creatures, he almost escaped death, and now he is eager to fight against dark green-level creatures, his strength has increased by more than ten times.
However, at this time, facing this clone who was only a seventh-level lifeform, but relying on his unique self-healing ability, he was powerless, and how could he not become angry from shame.
After being slashed so many times, the humanoid clone finally reacted and tried to attack, but was slashed again by Luo Yuan.
He took a deep breath and calmed down quickly. This clone was not very strong. It was about between the dark blue level and the light green level. For Luo Yuan at this time, it was not worth mentioning at all. The key was how to kill him. it.
At this time, Luo Yuan was no longer in a hurry to go back, and he began to experiment.
The first was the will sword light, which had some effect. It cut off its head with one blow and rolled it down. No blood or other liquid flowed out of the wound. The cut was flat and smooth, and it lost its fluidity and looked like a piece of metal. Moreover, after being chopped by will, the wound showed no signs of healing at all. The edges seemed to have been destroyed by will, and the vitality was completely lost.
However, for this kind of fluid life, the head is just a decoration. Without the head, it has no effect on it at all, and it can still be alive and kicking.
Luo Yuan became interested instead. He peeled off the "mercury" from its body piece by piece like peeling a carrot, each piece was as thin as a cicada's wing.
Within a few seconds, it was only half a meter tall. However, what shocked Luo Yuan was that it was still "alive". When only the opponent's body was the size of a palm, it suddenly curled up into a ball, and then Completely stopped moving.
Luo Yuan tested it a few times and saw that there was no danger, so he picked it up and put it in his palm.
It was cold and very heavy. This small ball, about ten centimeters in diameter, was a perfect sphere and weighed about five kilograms. It was almost the same as an iron ball. It was unknown what elements it was made of.
Compared with when it is active and can flow slowly, it is very hard at this time, but if you hold it tightly, it is slightly elastic, which is very strange.
Luo Yuan flew down and landed on the ground. There were already a lot of small silver balls underneath. Luo Yuan glanced around and soon found the fallen head, but at this time the head had transformed into a three or four. A ten centimeter tall mini-doll, and tried desperately to escape from the main body, but how could it escape. After one slash, it turned into two almost identical silver balls.
With a thought in his mind, he used an identification technique on one of the silver balls.
