On the battlefield where the caravan's defense line was being attacked, a wailing sound was heard, and Tianyang saw that the head of a monster was cut off by the moonlight. The monster's head was like a snake, but it was dragging a shell like a snail. It was covered with blue and slippery scales, and those scales seemed to form some kind of symbolic pattern.
After its head was cut off by the moonlight, it did not die immediately. The head was still screaming on the ground, and two curved fangs emerged from its mouth, trying to bite something, but it could not bite anything.
What made Tianyang terrified was that the surrounding evil spirits stopped and rushed to the body under the snail shell. They dragged the snake-like body out of the thick shell and then gnawed at their companions' bodies frantically, tearing off strips of blue-green meat from it and swallowing them all.
There were spots of blue-green light flickering in those strips of meat. The gods and evil spirits that swallowed these strips of meat had their auras increased, and some even had their bodies mutated.
The others also felt their scalps tingling as they watched. The evil gods were actually eating their own kind. Many people had never seen this before.
Moonlight's expression was the same as usual, but there was a hint of disgust in her eyes. She raised her hand and blasted out a sword energy, blowing away the two Candle Wolves.
On the defense line, Ma Liangji, who was in charge of the group, reacted and shouted immediately: "Don't stop, fight, beat these beasts to death!"
Immediately.
The various weapons that had been turned off on the defense line roared again, pouring their firepower on the group of evil gods, blasting the bodies of the evil gods into pieces, and making the evil gods that were gnawing on the bodies flee in panic.
At this time, a humanoid monster rushed out from the gunfire. It looked like an old man, wearing tattered clothes, but it even had a hat on its head.
What is strange is that although the clothes worn by this evil monster are tattered, the style is not old. It is unknown whether it took them from other corpses or picked them up from somewhere else.
This humanoid monster had blue-green eyes, a blood-red mouth, and a piece of blue-green meat bitten in its mouth.
It also ate the corpses of its own kind!
The glowing whiskers on the neck of the monster floated and flickered like seaweed. Tianyang noticed that the frequency of the alternating light and dark of the whiskers was consistent with the expansion and contraction of the monster's belly.
I don't know if it was because it had just devoured too much flesh and blood of its companions, but the belly of this humanoid monster was as swollen as that of a pregnant woman in her eighth or ninth month of pregnancy, and it was expanding and contracting.
At this time, Moonlight stretched out his hand towards the humanoid monster and pressed it lightly. Immediately, a silver-white, cold glow like moonlight appeared around the monster.
The silver light spread and rippled layer by layer, like ripples appearing on the surface of a lake after a stone was thrown into it.
In the spreading circles of silver light, green smoke ignited on the body of the humanoid monster. It let out a shrill cry, and although there was no flame on its body, the monster's body was quickly charring and flashing red spots.
It suddenly turned around and let out a silent roar towards the moonlight. The glowing whiskers on its neck all lit up, and an invisible force suddenly appeared in the air.
Moonlight froze in its movements, as if its thoughts were frozen. The human-like evil took the opportunity to expand its body, and the surging flesh and blood squeezed out the charred parts. Its body suddenly rose up, and its belly finally burst. After a stream of light yellow liquid gushed out, a bunch of blue-green slippery tentacles actually emerged from its belly.
These tentacles quickly reached out towards the moonlight, and the tips of the tentacles
It shot out sharp black hooks and grabbed the moonlight.
At this time, silver-white light burst out from Moonlight's body, and the star essence transformed into fighting spirit, condensing into elegant armor with smooth lines.
Her sword was also emitting silver-white light, and the 'blade' was stretched out in the air. After a few swings of the sword, the space around Yue Guang became dreamy and ethereal. The light there became dim, and several overlapping silver-white crescent moons hung in the air.
The crescents caught on the attacking tentacles, easily slicing them off and sending them clacking to the ground.
The humanoid monster let out a scream, and the tentacles that had emerged from its torn belly quickly retracted. During this process, flesh and blood quickly grew on the broken cross-section, repairing the severed tentacles in a blink of an eye.
Tianyang guessed that the overlapping crescents must be some kind of secret skill of Yueguang. He thought that Yueguang didn't need any help, so he just stayed nearby and admired the heroic figure of this woman.
The moonlight sword was swung again. This time, the overlapping crescents coiled around the humanoid monster. The crescents flickered and passed through the monster's body, cutting smooth wounds on the mutated monster.
The monster was badly wounded, but it was still struggling desperately. Its bloated belly burst open with a loud noise, and several fangs that were not yet fully formed emerged from it. As its belly swelled and shrank, a stream of green-yellow water suddenly spurted out of it.
The water column went straight towards Moonlight, but Moonlight did not dodge and drew a circle with his sword. Suddenly, the light in the surrounding space dimmed, and only a full moon was seen hanging in front of Moonlight.
The water column sprayed onto the full moon, and evaporated the moment it touched the moon. Not a drop of water splashed onto Moonlight until it was finished. Moonlight then used his long sword to point at the full moon. Silvery white gushed out from the full moon, turning into a silver, dazzling beam of light that broke through the air and instantly submerged the evil human god. It continued to move forward, rumbling away.
By the time the silver-white disappeared, the evil god had long since disappeared, and wherever the light column passed, everything on the jet track disappeared, and even a sunken gully was plowed out on the ground.
Tianyang secretly admired what he saw, Moonlight's secret skill was both offensive and defensive. He wondered how many more skills she had hidden
As if frightened by the moonlight, the remaining evil gods dared not stay any longer and hurriedly abandoned the bodies of their companions and ran away. At this time, cheers rang out from the high walls, and the guards of Silver Tree Castle all breathed a sigh of relief.
Tianyang walked out of the defense line and went towards Yueguang: "Excellent, the power of your secret technique is quite amazing."
Yue Guang put away his sword and said, "It's just so-so. Compared to your secret technique that can decide life and death in an instant, mine is still a little bit inferior."
The two chatted as they walked.
"What were going on with those evil gods eating their own kind just now? Have you seen something similar before?" Tianyang turned around and looked at the corpse of the evil god.
Moonlight said without any expression on his face: "This is normal. The cells of the evil gods will not increase or decrease. So they will never really die, but they can be piled together. With more cells, stronger evil gods will be born."
"So, the devils eat their own kind out of instinct. Driven by instinct, they are always eager to evolve to a higher level of life. In this respect, they are quite similar to us Ascendants."
Moonlight shrugged his shoulders. "It's just that they usually don't eat living ones, especially those of higher rank than themselves. They only eat their own kind when they die and are higher than them.
Only when they are high-level will they eat their corpses and absorb cells that are beneficial to their own evolution."
"The old man just now is a very obvious example. If he hadn't been killed, after a period of time, he would have evolved to a completely different level from himself."
Tian Yang laughed: "Old man? Is there anyone who calls a god evil like you?"
Moonlight looked at him in surprise: "Don't you know how the humanoid evil came about?"
Tian Yang was stunned for a moment. He really didn't know, so he subconsciously asked: "How did the humanoid evil come from?"
Moonlight glanced at him, then shook her head and said, "You don't want to know."
She did not answer this question, and when Tianyang wanted to ask more, Sun Sun and the others had already arrived. The moonlight was surrounded by them and they were walking towards the city, so Tianyang could not find a suitable opportunity.
but...
The evil spirits are species born from the combination of the cells of the alien gods and living things. The so-called evil spirit cells are actually the cells of the alien gods. The cells of the alien gods are immortal and will not grow, so the number of evil spirits is also fixed.
After a monster dies, its alien cells will seek out other organisms to combine with, thus giving birth to new monsters. This is what is called the immortality of monsters.
So, how did the humanoid evil gods come into being
Could it be that it was born from the combination of alien god cells and humans
Thinking of this, Tianyang felt a little uncomfortable.
Back at the hotel, Tianyang spent a leisurely afternoon, and at night, the moonlight came knocking on the door.
They have a date in the evening.
Tonight the sun brought moonlight, but it kept her and herself at a distance, hiding in the dark.
After the lesson of Ling Yuandu's sneak attack last time, Tianyang dared not be careless again, and he also brought weapons. Anyway, Silver Tree Castle did not prohibit the carrying of weapons in the city. Walking on the street, anyone he saw was either carrying a sword or a gun, so he didn't make a difference.
"Silvertree Castle is not like Harvest Castle. It doesn't have any famous delicacies. Let's just eat something tonight and then go find out about my friend."
Moonlight was wearing a white cloak tonight, with a light blue dress underneath. She also carried weapons, but they were hidden in the cloak so they were not obvious.
Although the food in Silver Tree Fort is very ordinary, the cooking method is quite unique. The locals use the wood of the silverwood tree to make lunch boxes, and then put the food with simple seasonings in the lunch boxes. Taking advantage of the fact that the silverwood tree is not easy to burn, they throw the food directly into the fire and roast it. When the surface of the lunch box is charred, take it out and the food inside is already cooked.
But because the food is not overcooked, it is particularly delicious, and the restaurant offers dozens of different seasonings, allowing guests to make adjustments according to their own tastes.
Although the food was not as exquisite as those in the restaurants in Harvest Fort, for Tianyang who was visiting Silver Tree Fort for the first time, he still got to experience the different styles of food from other forts.
After dinner, the two walked through the crowded streets with Moonlight leading the way. After winding around, when Tianyang stopped, they saw a bar in front of them.
Silver Tree Bar.
It is very simple and simply uses the name of the fortress.
"Walk."
Moonlight pushed open the door of the bar, and immediately, a complex smell poured out from the hall.
