Those blood vessels were extremely fast, like sharp arrows, the two flying knights didn't pay attention, and it was too late when they found out, they were immediately pierced into the body by those blood vessels.
"Damn it!" Seeing this shocking change, Zheng Gong was furious, and split the opponent in half with the steel knife in his hand.
However, after the "puppet" was split open, everyone was surprised.
No guts.
Countless objects that looked like blood vessels were connected to the body of the "puppet". With Gong Zheng's knife, those blood vessels were cut off one after another, and many of them fell outside the body and swayed like living creatures.
And all the shredded meat is connected with a fist-sized meat ball.
This fleshy ball and those blood vessel-like objects completely occupied that person's body.
"This..." Gong Zheng looked at the scene in front of him with eyes wide open, which was completely beyond his imagination.
Not far away, many flying knights exclaimed one after another, gasping for air one after another.
When the empress heard the voice and came over, her face changed slightly when she saw the scene in front of her.
Gong Zheng turned his head to look at the Empress, and said sincerely, "Master Ren guessed right, there is indeed a problem."
Ren Baqian grinned, this was luck, he just thought that all kinds of methods had to be used, but he didn't expect to find the problem with a single knife.
But this scene is really... disgusting.
Turning his head to look at the two flying knights who were stuck into the body by blood vessels: "What do you two think?"
The two pulled out the blood vessel that was stuck in their body and threw it on the ground, then pulled out the steel knife and chopped it into several pieces before saying bitterly, "Fortunately, I missed the point."
"That's good. If there is anything wrong, just say it." Ren Baqian nodded.
Then he turned his head to look at the flesh and blood in the corpse and frowned: "It seems that his original internal organs have been 'eaten' by this thing, and this thing replaces the internal organs to maintain the existence of the body."
"What is this?" the Empress asked, frowning.
"I don't know." Ren Baqian spread his hands, and the others shook their heads.
This kind of situation has never been seen or heard, and no one has ever thought of such a thing before.
"Lend me the knife." Ren Baqian took the knife from Zheng Gong's hand and picked the meat ball to the ground, the meat ball was still beating. The heartbeat of ten beats per minute when sensing the heartbeat in the body before was transmitted from this meat ball.
Ren Baqian split the meat ball with another knife, and found that the outermost layer was a layer of meat film, and there were other things inside.
A red bug.
Or rather—a butterfly that has not yet formed!
The wings have begun to form and are tightly wrapped around the body. You need to look carefully to distinguish them. As the meat ball was cut open, the liquid inside flowed out, and the layer of wings began to slowly unfold.
But obviously, although the body has grown, the wings have only formed a small part.
The most important thing is that there is a tiny distorted human face on the butterfly's body.
If you look carefully, this face is the same as the original owner.
Then this meat ball is actually a cocoon.
And those blood vessel-like things are the channels used to control the body and absorb nutrients, and they are the tentacles of the cocoon.
Weird, Ren Baqian felt even weirder.
Even if these people were possessed by ghosts, it was easier for him to accept it.
You must know that the Empress still has a trace of soul in him.
To know the magic weapon formed by the soul, he now has two in his mind.
But he never thought that it would be a butterfly, and the butterfly would have a human face.
At this time, another change occurred in the village.
As the cocoon was cut open, those other "puppets" seemed to have received some signal, and stood up from the ground one after another, and then made an extremely low voice, and then rushed towards the crowd.
Although those voices were not loud, they made people feel chest tightness, nausea and dizziness when gathered together.
"Kill them!" The empress ordered in a deep voice after seeing the many "puppets" pounced on, and she didn't hesitate at all after seeing the situation in the person's body.
These people can no longer be called human beings.
There are only less than 200 "puppets" in the stockade, but here are 300 flying cavalry with good luck.
Just when they met together, the stumps flew around, and then to everyone's surprise, more than ten people were injured.
Those "puppets" could still move even if they were cut off, and the blood vessel-like things in their bodies pierced the skin straight out, as fast as a bow and crossbow, and at such a short distance, many people were hit by the trick immediately.
"Don't cut off their heads, split them open, they are controlled by the meat ball inside, cut off all the tentacles of that meat ball." Ren Baqian immediately reacted and shouted loudly.
With Ren Baqian's reminder, everyone came to their senses and chopped off their opponents one after another. Secondly, they disemboweled their opponents and cut off most of the meat ball's tentacles. Afterwards, everyone found that as long as most of the tentacles were cut off, the opponent would be as if If it loses its strength, it will no longer shoot out that kind of tentacles.
In just a short time, all the "puppets" in the village were beheaded, and the meat balls were picked out of the body and chopped into pieces with a knife.
And one of the flying riders actually died, because he was pierced into the heart by a tentacle.
In addition, nearly 20 people were injured.
"Pick out the stuff in the stomach and kill it, and then bury it." The empress ordered again from the side.
Although the "puppet" was killed, her complexion was still not good-looking.
After all, these "puppets" still look like mountain people.
Ren Baqian was stroking the beard on his chin while looking thoughtfully at the butterfly with a human face on the ground.
"What are you thinking?" the Empress asked from the side.
"These butterflies haven't grown yet," Ren Baqian said. "Sixteen years, it's been sixteen years since Yasheng discovered them, and he was already weird when he saw them. I don't know how long before that, these people have been fed by those things gone."
"The time is really long." The Empress nodded. Even if it is sixteen years, it is not a short period of time that this kind of creature has not grown up in the human stomach for sixteen years.
Instead, Ren Baqian brought up another question: "So there are no children here. As for teenagers, the youngest ones here seem to be in their thirties, and they were parasitized by this kind of creature sixteen years ago when they were teenagers. Age The smaller ones probably didn't meet the conditions, or couldn't stand it, and died before being completely parasitized."
The reason why there are no children and young people in the village has been found out.
But the big question now becomes what is that, and where does it come from.
Ren Baqian also thought about another question, what would this monster look like when it broke out of its body after it was fully formed? what will bring
And... why does that butterfly have the same face as its original owner
Ren Baqian saw that someone was going to drag the corpse in front of him away, stopped him and walked over with a knife. There were still some places he wanted to see.
After splitting the head, most of the brain was empty, and many tentacles of thin hair were connected to the remaining brain.
Ren Baqian asked people to keep the biological corpses in several meat balls, and prepared to bring them back to Earth for inspection.
The rest were all burned with a fire.
Everyone rested in the village for one night, the empress was in no mood to talk, and Ren Baqian was always thinking about herself.
I got up early the next morning and searched the village carefully before leaving.
It took another day to finally arrive at this destination, Diyin Spring.
