As the final sword light was tempered in the dragon's flames, the huge body entangled with countless branches crashed to the ground. Tan Yue collapsed on the ground from exhaustion, next to the monster village chief who was "dismembered" by everyone.
"Ah -" Someone in the team collapsed on the ground, and everyone relaxed their muscles, sitting or standing, and their tense nerves could finally be relieved.
Perhaps thanks to the influence of the gods, Tan Yue's mind was running at high speed and he still did not relax.
She wanted to ask everyone to stand up, but was afraid that she did not have enough authority in the team, so she sat back hesitantly.
Qin Heng glanced at her, stood up and walked towards Zhou Chenghua. Within ten seconds, all the supernatural warriors were shouted by Zhou Chenghua to prepare for the next task.
Tan Yue glanced at Qin Heng gratefully. Although the latter did not look at her, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"How to deal with this thing?" Xiao Miao asked, pointing to the village chief's torn corpse.
Tan Yue said: "Move it back and bring it to the institute."
Zhou Chenghua pondered to the ground for a moment, then suddenly looked at Tan Yue.
Tan Yue: "?"
He said: "You have a good brain, come and analyze it."
She raised her eyebrows, worried that she wouldn't have a chance to show off, so she readily agreed.
Tan Yue organized his language, invited everyone to sit in a circle, and said: "Based on everything we have seen and heard along the way, it is obvious that the genes of all living things have begun to hybridize, including human genes. The cartoon "Cats and Dogs" when I was a child is no longer It’s a fantasy in cartoons, where the genes of wolves and trees can even appear in the same individual, just like the village chief.”
"Um."
She continued to conclude: "Furthermore, human genes are obviously being robbed. Genetic hybrids like the village chief eat people every night, and they have to be plants containing human genes. There is only one reason for this - -evolution."
"He needs human genes to evolve."
Qin Shuye said: "In this way, humans become prey compared to other creatures."
"Yes, humans have become the bottom of the food chain," she continued. "According to this idea, we have two things to do next -"
"First, check whether the village chief has a 'reserve' of food, and whether the people who were eaten by him left any corpses or other items behind. We need to search the village again."
"Second, if the ghost breaking the wall is caused by the village chief, then the problem of leaving the village will naturally be solved, but I personally do not support this speculation."
"What's the meaning?"
"I think the 'Willow God' of this village is real."
Xiao Miao looked very shocked: "Why?"
Tan Yue's mouth was dry as he spoke, and coupled with the fierce battle just now, his throat was so thirsty that it was almost smoking. The water superpower immediately took out the water cup and handed him a cup of clean drinking water.
She drank "tons and tons" and finally was able to continue talking.
"Because I saw it."
"I saw that before the village chief 'eated', he first placed the tribute in front of the Willow God statue, just like paying tribute, and at the same time apologized; that proves that the 'food' was not originally prepared for him."
"Is it because of this? Isn't it possible that the village chief is ignorant and blindly believes in the existence of the Willow God?" Zhou Chenghua put forward his point of view rigorously.
Qin Heng looked at her quietly without refuting or saying anything else.
"We can investigate this issue later. We can take the village chief's body with us. If we can get out, we can give it to the research institute for research," she said.
"Okay." Zhou Chenghua agreed, "Now, go search the village. Qin Shuye will lead the team to search the north, and I will lead the people to search the south."
After everyone was assigned their work, they left in an orderly manner to search the village. Naturally, Tan Yue had no such task. Qin Heng, as the largest combat force in the team, was sent to protect her.
Tan Yue was not sure whether Qin Heng would be unhappy because of this decision.
She asked tentatively: "Are you okay? You just turned into a fire dragon. Can you still turn back into a human?"
Qin Heng looked very strange at this time. The side of his face was covered with scales, his pupils had not returned to normal, and his fingers were longer and more bony than normal people.
It does have a special kind of beauty.
Qin Heng looked at her and said nothing, as if he was trying his best to endure something.
Tan Yue understood. She ran to the place where the backpack was placed in the house and said, "Follow me!"
Qin Heng followed him obediently. Tan Yue took out a handful of spiritual grass and put it under his nose: "Eat."
Qin Heng took her hand and chewed and swallowed the spiritual grass, like some kind of herbivore. Tan Yue thought he was quite cute with his reticent look.
With the sound of swallowing, the melancholy between Qin Heng's brows suddenly eased a lot. His pupils and fingers returned to normal, but the scales on the side of his face still did not fade.
It seems that Qin Heng can return to normal until he returns to the base and uses more advanced means.
While thinking, the teams led by Zhou Chenghua and Qin Shuye came back. They found a total of three bone burial sites, each of which was filled with corpses without facial features. The village chief only extracted their genes and did not destroy any traces of the corpses.
"The next task is to try to leave the village and see if the ghost is still there."
Tan Yue sat in the car, watching the village getting further and further away, and praying that nothing would go wrong this time. At this time, the system spoke.
[Ding dong, the mission: to uncover the secret of the village has been completed. The reward is 2000 energy points and an SSR card "朏朏". 】
Tan Yue:! ! !
As the system finished speaking, a shining golden card fell from mid-air into his palm, attracting the attention of everyone in the car.
"What is this?" Zhou Chenghua asked curiously.
"朏朏. An animal that looks like a cat. Keeping it can make people happy."
Zhou Chenghua was delighted: "This little thing is great. Once you put it in the base, everyone can see it. It will boost morale."
Tan Yue glanced at him helplessly, speechless at the idea of making the best use of everything.
The convoy rumbled out of this area without encountering any more ghosts. Tan Yue heard the cheers of young soldiers coming from the car behind.
Zhou Chenghua took out his walkie-talkie: "Go back to the base first and report the mission."
It seems that the ghost hitting the wall was caused by the village chief, not some "Willow God".
But does the so-called Liu Shen really not exist?
She recalled the panic on the village chief's face before stealing the tribute, and she always felt that there was something more hidden.
Unsure, she decided to seek help from the system.
[Host, don’t rely too much on the system, Liu Shen’s matter is the next stage of the task. 】
Okay, she managed a sigh.
At this time, under the influence of the spiritual soil, the two mango trees had grown into saplings, and the cutting work was done perfectly.
When Tan Yue returned to the manor, what he saw was a prosperous scene, and he was immediately satisfied.
