"You actually captured a mutated swift alive?"
"How did you do it?"
Tian Mengzi and Yuan Zilu's successive inquiries surprised Shang Xia.
Although the mutated swift flies at an extremely fast speed, it does not seem to be difficult to catch it given the cultivation levels of Tian Mengzi and Yuan Zilu.
It’s just a mutated swift, so what’s the big deal?
Seemingly understanding Shang Xia's doubts, Tian Mengzi said directly: "This mutant swift flies extremely fast and has a strong temper. Even with the strength of Lao Jin and I, it is extremely difficult to catch one or two..."
Having said this, Tian Mengzi looked at the mutant Swift in Shang Xia's hand again, and couldn't help but clicked his tongue, saying in a somewhat inexplicable tone: "Of course, this matter is not too difficult for Deacon Yuan..."
Yuan Zilu shook his head, with a hint of envy in his tone, and said: "The mutated swifts have a strong temperament. Even if Yuan can catch one or two, after finding that there is no way to escape, these swifts will immediately choose to kill themselves! "
Shang Xia looked at the mutant Swift who was a little sluggish but showed no tendency to self-mutilate. Although he felt a little strange in his heart, he still said: "Maybe it's because of my magical power of thunder that I can make this mutant Swift's whole body numb. , unable to commit suicide?"
As Shang Xia spoke, he put the mutated swift into a cage made of string vines handed over by Huang Zihua, and hung it on the side of the carriage where he was.
Some mutated beasts often appear in the two realms of war, and they are extremely valuable.
Among them, the living mutated beasts are the most valuable, but also the most difficult to capture, but this does not mean that they have never been captured.
"No, no, no," Tian Mengzi shook his head and said, "You underestimate this kind of mutated bird. It is not as simple as you think. Believe me, in order to capture the living mutated swifts, the extraordinary warriors on Tongyou Peak, I tried almost every method I could think of, but in the end I was unable to prevent the mutated Swift from committing suicide."
Yuan Zilu looked at the mutated swift in the cage.
At this time, the mutant Swift seemed exhausted and depressed, but it didn't look like he was planning to commit suicide.
A strange look flashed in his eyes, and Yuan Zilu said: "It seems that your control over the magical power has been improving, but you may have to expend energy along the way to prevent it from killing itself at any time. If you feel that you can't persist, you can simply kill it. If you kill him, you can at least leave his body intact."
Shang Xia's heart moved and he asked: "Is there something special about this living mutated swift that makes the extraordinary warriors of Tongyou Peak so favored?"
"you do not know?"
This time it was Tian and Yuan's turn to be surprised. Tian Mengzi even asked: "Then why do you think of catching the mutated swift alive? This is much harder than killing a mutated swift."
Shang Xia smiled and said, "I just wanted to exercise my control over magical powers on a whim. It just happened."
Tian and Yuan looked at each other, and Tian Mengzi looked strangely and said, "Is it just that?"
"What else could it be?"
Shang Xia's expression looked innocent.
But in the eyes of Tian Mengzi, especially some of the well-informed internal students, he seemed to be taking advantage and acting like a good boy who deserved a beating.
Perhaps because Shang Xia's expression was very unpleasant, Tian Mengzi directly gave up and said: "You will understand when you reach Tongyou Peak!"
Shang Xia didn't know why, but neither Tian Mengzi nor Yuan Zilu seemed too lazy to say anything, so he could only hide his doubts in his heart for the time being.
After a short period of repairs, the team set off again, and Shang Xia once again received a wave of admiration mixed with envy.
However, Shang Xia has long been accustomed to this, and has long been indifferent to favors and humiliations.
However, he had many doubts in his mind at this time. Knowing that Tian Mengzi intended to take over Sun Haiwei's teaching duties, he naturally would not miss the opportunity to ask for advice.
"Senior Brother Tian, do those mutated swifts only appear on rainy days? Is the reason why they mutate also due to the impact of the two worlds' origins in the two worlds war zone?"
Tian Mengzi didn't care about the little episode just now. Hearing Shang Xia's request, he nodded and smiled: "Mutated Swifts do appear more often on rainy days. It's just that the climate in the two realms is unpredictable. The appearance patterns of these Mutated Swifts are also unpredictable. .”
"However, as for the reason for the mutation of the swifts in the two realms, there is a theory that it is not only the origin of the two realms, but also the hybridization of the swifts from the two realms, forming a brand new swift population."
Shang Xia was still satisfied after hearing this. He felt that Tian Mengzi's words seemed not to be finished, but Tian Mengzi seemed to be unwilling to say any more. After thinking about it, he changed back to the previous topic and continued to ask for advice.
"Senior Brother Tian, as far as I know, when Youzhou fell, there were not a few extraordinary warriors who survived, and most of them escaped during the formation of the two realms of war. Why were those people not affected and became... uh …”
The formation of the Two Realms War Realm was only twenty years ago, and most of the original survivors are still there. Even though it is the first time for Shang Xia and others to enter, they are not too unfamiliar with the Two Realms War Realm.
In fact, the entire Tongyou Academy was jointly established by the surviving extraordinary warriors from Youzhou after the formation of the two realms of war.
As a direct descendant of the Shang family and the direct grandson of the deputy headmaster of Tongyou College, Shang Xia knows far more than ordinary students.
But when he was about to say "become a living corpse", he suddenly realized that it seemed a bit disrespectful to say so. After all, even in the Shang family, since his grandfather Shang Bo, there were many people who had escaped from the two war realms. survivor.
Tian Mengzi thought for a while and said: "Although I have not experienced the fall of Youzhou and the formation of the two realms of war, I have heard from several teachers in the college that the impact of the original tide of the two realms is a huge shock to mortals. It’s a disaster, but for most extraordinary warriors, as long as they survive the initial impact of their origin, the only thing left is chance.”
Speaking of this, Tian Mengzi seemed to have some unfinished meaning. After a brief pause, he continued: "In fact, the extraordinary warriors who survived the two realms of war that were just formed back then all entered in a short period of time. A period of rapid progress in cultivation."
"Because of this, even when most of Youzhou fell and the extraordinary warriors suffered heavy losses, the survivors quickly regrouped and occupied important places like Tongyou Peak in the two realms of battle, fighting against The extraordinary warriors of the Cangling Realm formed a confrontation that lasted for twenty years, and even established the Tongyou Academy outside the entrance of the two realms of war to cultivate future talents."
Some of Shang Xia knew the information revealed by Tian Mengzi's words, and some heard of it for the first time.
On the other hand, the other lay students didn't know much about what happened back then, so they all listened with great interest.
Tian Mengzi smiled and said: "Actually, these are not secrets. When you enter the inner chamber in two months, these will be what you need to learn. I am just telling you in advance."
At this time, a voice suddenly asked: "Brother Tian, since most of these living corpses are mutated from Youzhou people who died twenty years ago, is it possible to identify their identities based on their clothes and appearance? And they Is the activity track regular?"
Shang Xia gave the speaker a strange look. His name was Meng Liangchen, and he was also a student with perfect Qi and Blood, standing on the threshold of the extraordinary.
It's just that this person is a bit gloomy on weekdays, and Shang Xia doesn't have much interaction with him.
Tian Mengzi was slightly startled when he heard this question. He looked at the speaker with a slightly solemn tone and said, "What do you want to say?"
Meng Liangchen didn't seem to notice the change in Tian Mengzi's tone, and said seriously: "If the movement trajectories of these living corpses are really traceable, I want to find the remains of our Meng family in the two realms of war."
"Are you a member of the Meng family in Youzhou?"
Tian Mengzi looked stunned, but then he muttered: "I'm afraid this will be difficult!"
After saying that, Tian Mengzi glanced at him and said: "Except that you have not yet stepped into the threshold of an extraordinary warrior, let's say that the two realms of extraordinary warfare include most of Youzhou, plus the annexation of Cangling Realm. Partly, these two areas are not just spliced together, but completely integrated into one. The geographical conditions are complex, and the topography changes frequently, which is comparable to the changing seas. How easy is it to find the previous address? "
After saying that, Tian Mengzi seemed to remember something, shook his head and sighed: "It's not surprising that you have such an idea. In fact, many people had such an idea long after the origin tide in the two realms subsided. Entering the two realms of war, I wanted to find the base of the extraordinary forces in Youzhou, but in the end, I gained very little, but lost many lives..."
Meng Liangchen couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness on his face when he heard this.
"It's not that there is no hope at all..."
Suddenly, a slightly unfamiliar voice attracted everyone's attention.
All the sentient beings heard the sound and went out, only to see that the speaker was none other than Jin Guanchao, who was standing not far from them.
He had been standing there for a long time, and my eyes had glanced over him.
Shang Xia suddenly remembered, but a strange look flashed across his expression, and he actually ignored the existence of this person again.
"Lao Jin, you..."
Tian Mengzi looked puzzled, obviously surprised that his friend actually took the initiative to speak.
Jin Guanchao's expression looked slightly blank as he said: "Most of the fresh 'living corpses' crawling out of the ground come from ruins!"
Jin Guanchao's words were very brief, and many people looked puzzled.
Tian Mengzi had already understood and explained to everyone: "The terrain here has changed frequently. After the fall of Youzhou, many extraordinary forces were stationed deep underground, but they remained intact due to restrictions and formations."
"But as time goes by, those formations will be damaged due to consumption, so living corpses will crawl out of the ground, and often the bodies and clothes are relatively intact."
"And because these living corpses come from the ruins of extraordinary forces, most of them are tribesmen, servants, etc., and they have special marks of the extraordinary forces they belong to. People can often identify their identities through these, and sometimes they can also find the ruins. Where.”
Meng Liangchen looked excited when he heard this, and said: "Then, have you two senior brothers ever had any news about my Meng family?"
Tian Mengzi smiled and said, "If there is no news, isn't it good news?"
Although Meng Liangchen was slightly disappointed, he also understood what Tian Mengzi meant.
At this time, Jin Guanchao suddenly said: "Not long ago, some fresh living corpses wearing Zhu's clothes were discovered..."
