It's already weird to see dead corpses moving, not to mention smiling at you. This scene makes people feel horrified no matter how they look at it!
Immediately afterwards, these strange dead bodies slowly approached Lin Yan and others, their bodies swaying a little, but they never stopped, and their arms mechanically raised and stretched towards them.
Lin Yan frowned and said, "There is indeed something wrong with these things!"
Ming Ya said: "What on earth is this? The living dead?"
When Fei Gan was dealing with the constant attacks from branches and vines, he also interjected: "No matter what it is, there is no benefit in getting entangled with them!"
Lin Yan also nodded in agreement and said: "Uncle Fei is right. If we continue, we don't know what strange things will happen again. We have to get out early."
In his perception, these corpses should have no life breath, but the corpses were not stiff and could still move. This was against common sense!
The boundary between life and death seems to have become much blurred at this moment, and perhaps ordinary warriors will regard it as something like the undead. However, Lin Yan's attention was focused on the bright flowers blooming in the eyes of the corpse.
If there is anything that feels most inconsistent here, it must be these gorgeous flowers, and the dead body was also among the flowers before. Then, there is enough reason to speculate that these flowers caused the corpse transformation, or that these corpses were simply controlled by these weird flowers!
Lin Yan's speculation is very bold, but it has to be said that such speculation is reasonable, and compared to the theory of the undead, this speculation is closer to the truth. After all, weird plants are not limited to these gorgeous flowers. Isn’t that the same for those moving branches and vines!
While the three of them were thinking, the figures of the dead bodies were already in front of them, stretching out their arms to grab at them unsteadily.
Before the situation is clear, it is very dangerous to contact him rashly, so there is only one way, and that is to prevent him from getting close.
Lin Yan and the three of them used their own methods. In addition to dealing with the incoming branches and vines, they still paid a lot of attention to these dead bodies. Compared with those branches and vines that looked ferocious, but actually lacked attack power. Rattan, these dead bodies are obviously more dangerous.
The black broken knife fell, the scimitar was flying with "silk entanglement", and huge energy fist marks were flying. In just a moment, the corpses were directly repelled, and even many broken arms and limbs fell.
"Did you go a little too far?"
As soon as this thought arose in the minds of the three of them, they were shocked by the scene in front of them! Because what flowed out from the severed arms and limbs of the dead corpses was not blood at all, but a strange blue-green juice.
Lin Yan thought for a moment and said: "This looks like the juice of a plant. Could it be that these dead bodies are actually plants? No, they should have been killed by these weird flowers and then assimilated into plants."
Ming Ya said: "Similar to 'parasitism'?"
Lin Yan nodded and said: "This should be the so-called 'dove occupying the magpie's nest'! These strange flowers occupied the bodies of these corpses in some way, and finally appeared in such a strange state before us. before."
Although Lin Yan still has many problems that he hasn't figured out yet, it's obviously not a good time now, so let's talk about it later!
Lin Yan and the other three suddenly exerted their strength. During the violent surge of vitality, all the branches and vines that came were shattered. Before the dead bodies could react, they quickly moved away and escaped. Encirclement.
"Let's get out of here first!" After Lin Yan finished speaking, he went in the other direction, avoiding the strange flowers, and Ming Ya and Fei Qian followed closely behind.
Those weird plants wanted to pursue them, but the three of them left too fast, and they failed in the end. After there was no one around, the place once again returned to its previous calmness, and it still presented a quiet and peaceful scene.
…
This small island seems peaceful, but in fact it hides many dangers, and these dangers also reveal a strange flavor, which makes people have to be cautious.
Lin Yan and the others did not move haphazardly when they escaped from the flowers. After all, if they accidentally ran into some forbidden area, it might be more dangerous.
Walking on the road, Ming Ya asked: "Where is this place? I have never heard of such an island?"
Fei Qian's life experience here should be considered good, at least much better than the two juniors. However, it was difficult even for him to explain clearly what this island was about, because it was beyond his knowledge.
Lin Yan was thinking, because the purpose of his trip was for the two elixirs, and it was rumored that they might exist deep in the "Misty Swamp", that is, in the "Misty Ghost Forest".
However, few people can tell what the real "Misty Ghost Forest" looks like. Perhaps, the densely packed "Ghost Mist Trees" on the periphery of the small island are the "Misty Ghost Forest"; or perhaps, this small island is the real location of the "Misty Ghost Forest", and Lin Yan is more inclined to the latter.
Lin Yan pondered: "Maybe the 'Misty Ghost Forest' is on this island, or maybe it is this island!"
Although this island seems to be completely different from the "Ghost Forest", after experiencing the previous events, the three of them will not be simply fooled by its appearance, thinking that it is really so quiet and peaceful.
As they continued to move forward, the surrounding scenery changed again, and a large field of flowers appeared in front of them. If the flowers before were extremely gorgeous, then the flowers here are much drab because they are all the same color.
The ice-blue flowers sway slightly with the branches and leaves, making people feel a chill coming over them. I don't know if there is a real cold air emanating or it is just a psychological effect.
However, after what happened before, Lin Yan and the others were instinctively wary of the flowers. They had just encountered a moving corpse. Who knew what strange things might appear here?
Just when the three of them were about to take another detour, Lin Yan suddenly seemed to have discovered something. He turned around and stared at the flowers carefully, and then said: "That seems to be the ice spirit root!"
Ming Ya and Fei Qian also looked in the direction of his sight, and then they saw a rhizome breaking out of the ground among the blue flowers, shining with an icy blue luster, like a crystal, and the dark soil Out of place and conspicuous.
There are many such rhizomes, and their appearance is almost the same as what Mr. Miao described. Previously, his attention was only diverted by the flowers, and he almost missed this key elixir.
Anything that breaks out of the ground means that the stem is mature and can be used as medicine. The discovery of the Ice Spirit Root here is also good news, at least it means that half of the task is completed.
However, the location where the ice spirit roots grow is a bit awkward, and entering the flowers is quite risky. The reasons for the death and movement of the corpses have not yet been found out. If you accidentally get caught, it will be a lot of fun!
"That's right!" Lin Yan slapped his forehead, as if he thought of something, and pulled out a small bronze beast from his small cloth pocket. Ever since he regained his strength, he rarely summoned Mumu to take action. Moreover, this little guy always slept when he was free and rarely took the initiative to move. Lin Yan was also very surprised as to why a machine beast could behave in such a humane manner. In the end, it could only be attributed to the superb skills of the original designer.
"Mumu!" As soon as the little bronze beast opened his eyes, he heard Mingya's call. He looked at her doubtfully, then seemed to have thought of something, and happily threw himself into the latter's arms, and hugged her with his head. He arched his head, looking very intimate.
When they were at Chang'an Academy, Ming Ya had lived with Lin Yan, and Mu Mu had naturally met them before, and as time went by, they became familiar with each other. You know, Mumu didn’t recognize anyone except Lin Yan in the past!
However, after such a long time, Mingya didn't expect that Mumu could still recognize her, and she felt so happy that she thought: "You little guy has a conscience!"
Fei Qian on the side looked at Mumu with some surprise, and asked Lin Yan: "Is this a machine beast?"
Lin Yan nodded and said: "That's right, it's called Mumu!"
As a warrior in the Xiantian realm, Fei Gan knew a lot about the mechanism technique even though he didn't know it, and he had also seen some mechanism beasts. However, those things are only mechanized activities, and it is impossible to make too complicated movements.
Even the rumored master of mechanism techniques can only make the movements of the mechanism beast more flexible and increase its offensiveness by adding some concealed mechanism weapons.
In fact, for them, instead of spending time and energy on making such flashy things, mechanism weapons or traps are more practical and profitable.
To put it bluntly, most of the things made by the mechanism technique are not for self-entertainment, but to enhance the user's abilities. It can be regarded as a kind of strength improvement in an alternative sense. Naturally, it is easier to choose something simpler and more effective. Way as well.
And this little bronze beast named "Mumu" has obviously broken away from all the above categories. It actually possesses some human emotions. This kind of skill can no longer be described as ingenious, it is simply a miracle!
Fei Gan said: "Little friend, did you do this?"
He had seen Lin Yan use mechanism skills before, including gas masks and some modifications to rafts, which were very useful, but after all, Lin Yan was too young, so he asked this question.
Lin Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "Uncle Fei is joking, I don't have such great abilities! I brought Mumu out of a dangerous area, and it should be the legacy of a senior expert. Since then, , it just keeps following me!”
After hearing this, Fei Qian understood in his heart that this was only reasonable. If Mu Mu was really created by Lin Yan, then he would think that the world has gone completely crazy! After all, such a young machine master, no, a grandmaster, is unique in history!
Then Fei Gan said: "Are you going to let this little guy get it?"
Lin Yan said: "That's right!"
Mumu is essentially a machine beast, without the flesh and skin of a living person, so it should be safe. Even if there is an emergency, Lin Yan and others can take action in time, and the risk is within the controllable range.
Lin Yan took the little bronze beast from Mingya's arms and said, "Mumu, it's up to you now. If you see it, dig out the blue rhizome. Dig a few more roots, do you know?"
Mumu tilted her head and stared straight at Lin Yan, her little head filled with doubts?
