Under a red moon, more than a hundred mountain people with blank expressions were eating food in the stockade. They were the kind of blue bugs that were as long as children's arms.
When you bite down, there will be a "squeak", a blue liquid will be sprayed out, and the bug will also make a sound similar to "squeak".
Ren Baqian, the Empress and the others who were watching all this by the side were horrified.
"They... what's going on?" Qingyuan and Hongluan asked in a low voice, their faces turning pale.
"It should be said, are they still alive?" Ren Baqian frowned and asked, "Are there any legends about sorcery in the Sixty Thousand Mountains?"
"As far as I know, no." The empress shook her head and asked someone to call Yasheng again.
Ren Baqian asked again, Yasheng also shook his head and said no.
"Is that how they were when you came last time?" Ren Baqian asked again.
Yasheng shook his head: "They weren't like this when I came last time. When I came last time, I found that the people in this village like the night and don't like the day. They also look dull and speak slowly, which makes me feel weird , and left quickly.
I didn't expect it to become like this this time. "
"When was the last time you were here?"
"Sixteen years ago. At that time, I found a trace of a mountain song. I followed it all the way and came here, but I saw that this place was strange, and the trace of the mountain song disappeared. After searching for a few days, I retreated. "
Naturally, Ren Baqian didn't know what Shan Song was. In fact, there were countless kinds of strange beasts in these 60,000 mountains, and the area that no one had ever set foot on was even larger than the area known to people so far.
Therefore, he didn't bother to ask about the strange beast in the mountain. Anyway, if you see it, you will know it naturally.
Unexpectedly, Gong Zheng next to him was a little surprised: "Now there is Shan Song?"
"It should be true. I heard the old man in the village say that Shansong likes to use stones to grind his teeth, and all kinds of filth will be left on the stones. I also happened to find out that there were not only filth on the stones, but also molars. Strips of traces.
In fact, I heard that there are deep places, but this area has not been seen for many years. "
Seeing what these two people mean, this kind of strange beast is a bit special, Ren Baqian became curious at this moment: "What is Shan Song?"
"A monster that resembles a human being. It is usually more than ten feet tall. It moves clumsily, but it is very powerful. It likes to eat people. It has two very long fangs in its mouth. There used to be many such monsters. Under the siege of the village, it gradually decreased." Yasheng explained.
"It's a little strange." Ren Baqian said casually, Dayao's one foot is more than three meters high, and the height of one foot is at least between three meters and seven meters. He is still in the shape of a human. I don't know if he is an orangutan or something. creature.
King Kong? It's about the same size.
Then he talked about the things in the stockade: "According to Yasheng's words, these people didn't always behave like this, but gradually became like this. This is a process.
So they were influenced by something to become what they are now. "
The empress looked up at him: "What do you think?"
"I have no idea, I don't even know if they are dead or alive now. Or... we can grab one and cut it open!" Ren Baqian was glared at by the empress as soon as Ren Baqian finished speaking.
"You must first understand what situation they are in before deciding on the next step. Anyway, they are like this, and it is no different from death.
In other words, they are now a group of puppets with temperature and heartbeat. "Ren Baqian said indifferently.
"Your Majesty, if I want to live like this, I might as well die." Gong Zheng said from the side. It is really a terrifying thing to think about living like a puppet.
"Can you find the reason why they became like this by cutting them open?" the empress asked after thinking for a while.
"Of course... you can't." Ren Baqian gasped as he spoke, the eyebrows of the angry empress twitched, and she sent him flying with one punch.
Ren Baqian was sent flying more than 20 meters, and knocked down a "puppet" who was closest to them.
When Ren Baqian got up, the puppet also slowly sat on the ground.
At this time, the mountain people in the stockade finished eating the worms, and all sat there without saying a word, not even the language that seemed to be set.
The whole village fell into silence.
However, under the moonlight, a figure could be seen sitting there, full of a strange atmosphere.
Ren Baqian took another look at the "puppet" who was knocked down by him before returning to sit opposite the empress.
"For their current state, we can only find the reason little by little. All kinds of methods must be used. Even so, we may not be able to find the reason. After all, their appearance is too weird, and it cannot be caused by ordinary circumstances. Cutting apart is just one of them. option, to see if there is any difference from normal people, and you may see something. In our case, this is called an autopsy.”
Ren Baqian already regarded these people as living corpses.
Fortunately, these people don't bite, otherwise he would have thought it was a biohazard from another world.
"Understood." The Empress sighed.
She knew that what Ren Baqian said was right.
"Do as you say."
"Come on, find someone to cut open and have a look, I'm dizzy with blood." Ren Baqian kicked Gong Zhengyi.
In fact, he didn't expect much from this approach.
The situation with these people is too queer.
In particular, these people always repeat certain words that seem to be programmed, which is not something that can be done by ordinary methods.
In this case, even if it is brought back to Earth, there may not be a way.
But these people are already like this, it is better to use a live horse as a dead horse doctor, maybe they can find something.
Gonggong walked around the village, and finally found an old man, carried him back and threw him on the ground.
The old man swayed on the ground, then got up and walked towards the original sitting position.
"Hold him down." Justice shouted.
Then two people pinned him to the ground.
Gong Gong gestured with the knife for a long time, then turned his head and asked Ren Baqian, "Where will the knife come from?"
He had made him kill, he had never done it.
Although Ren Baqian had killed a lot of people, he had never done this, and he always felt a little weird.
He looked at Gongyi, then at the "puppet" they had pushed to the ground, and said helplessly, "You have to turn him over first."
What are you doing with his back exposed
After they turned the person over, Ren Baqian said: "First cut the skin of the arm to see the blood."
With a swing of the long knife in Zheng Zheng's hand, a ten-centimeter cut was cut on the "puppet's" arm.
Then everyone frowned.
Everyone present had seen blood, and they knew what it would look like when the skin of a person was cut open.
This "puppet" is absolutely different from normal people.
It took more than ten seconds for the "puppet" to slowly ooze dark red blood from the wound.
The opponent's blood is not only small, but also very viscous.
"Stomach." Ren Baqian said again.
Justice made a gesture on the opponent's stomach, the "puppet" seemed to feel danger, the expression on his face suddenly changed from dull to ferocious and crazy, struggling hard, bursting out with great strength, even making the two flying knights It took a lot of effort to hold him down.
"Well"
A flying knight snorted in pain, and the "puppet" who was held down suddenly twisted his face and twisted his neck and bit him.
And at this time, the light of the knife in Gong Zheng's hand fell.
A line of blood appeared on the opponent's chest.
Then there was a sudden change, and several things that looked like blood vessels shot out from the opponent's body, piercing straight towards the flying knights on both sides.
