The huge body of the monster trembled, as if it was waking up. Li Bochen immediately tapped the hilt of the sword again, causing the blade to penetrate deeper into the beast's heart, and the monster stopped moving.
But its body is still warm and it is in a dying state. It was precisely because of this kind of heat that he was able to survive three days and nights in the snowstorm in the North Plains while hiding in the belly of the monster. But now, he had to think of other ways.
Looking out from the gap in the cut belly, one can see that the entire wilderness is covered with snow. Beneath the snow are the corpses of countless soldiers and monsters who died in the battle that started seven days ago, most of which are in dilapidated condition. But the vitality of monsters is far stronger than that of humans. Some seriously injured monsters continued to repair themselves by devouring companions or human corpses, stood up again, and wandered in the wasteland.
Li Bochen originally wanted to wait for them to disperse before escaping, but since yesterday, second-level monsters serving as low-level commanders have been evacuating to the rear through this wasteland. This may mean that the offensive of the monsters has been blocked in the Wuliang City area, but it is bad news for Li Boxen - inspired by the will of the retreating second-level monsters, the wandering low-level monsters did not slowly Disperse, and stay here to "stand by".
The problem for Li Boxen was that when he killed the sixth monster three days ago, his legs were bitten to pieces. When he woke up from the coma, he found that there was no one alive in the snowy field, and there was only a dying, elephant-sized bloated-headed demon beside him.
Before it froze completely, he cut open its belly and crawled in, reviving himself.
But judging from the current situation, if these monsters don't disperse, he won't be able to leave this snowfield. Of course he could hide in the belly of the bloat-headed monster for a few more days and survive on its body temperature and internal organs. But if another situation happens...
At this time, Li Bochen heard a long and low roar, like a Qiang horn.
He opened the gap in the monster's belly slightly wider and looked out. Through the sticky bloodshot at the wound, I saw a tall black shadow appearing on the distant horizon. The thing looked like the ink doodles of a child who had just learned to draw, with long and thin hands and feet, but Li Bochen knew that it was nearly ten meters high. It was roaring, conveying its will across the vast snowfield.
Li Bochen realized that "another situation" he was worried about had happened.
It's a third-level monster.
This was the first time he saw this thing with his own eyes, having only heard about it before. But now the things I heard about are happening one by one - wherever the third-level monster passes, the snowfield is boiling. Under the snow, the corpses of humans and monsters bounced convulsively, and then merged. The two races that were hostile before death harmoniously formed a new body. This body is immortal and will not fall apart unless the third-level monster that drives them with will dies.
Those things are called zombies, and each head can grow to more than thirty meters long and twenty meters high.
The dying swollen-headed demon that Li Bochen was hiding felt the will of the third-order monster in the distance, so its body trembled suddenly and its heart beat rapidly. The dagger he thrust into was squeezed out by the muscles, and the monster's smelly blood spurted all over him. What's even worse is that the wound on the abdomen has begun to heal, and the dense granulations are crawling like maggots.
Now he has two options.
Get out of the belly of the bloat-headed monster, hide in the snow and hold on until they go far away, and then drag these legs to climb dozens of miles in weather that is 20 degrees below freezing to return. I wonder if There are also countless cities of living people to go to.
Or... stay here and wait for the bloated-headed monster's wounds to heal completely under the influence of the third-level monster's will. In the process, Li Boxen's own injury may also be improved. Because he had heard about another thing before: someone once lived with a monster. As we all know, these beasts have extremely strong vitality. Not only can they grow gravel, soil, and steel fragments into their bodies, but they can even grow corpse fragments into their bodies.
The man's lower body was originally chewed to the bone by the monster beast on the battlefield, but after being wrapped in the monster beast's wound, his flesh and blood actually came back to life in the monster beast's body. Of course, the man was a corpse when he was found, but Li Bochen thought that this might be his only chance of survival - if his legs could really be healed by the flesh and blood of the monster, he would have many ways to escape. .
At this time, the third-level monster was getting closer and closer, and the zombie army behind it slowly took shape, covering the horizon. Other monsters, like the bloated-headed beast he is hiding now, were seriously injured and unable to move. Under the intervention of its powerful willpower, they quickly healed themselves and inspired their final vitality.
Like stars holding the moon, they guarded the huge human figure in the middle, and their roars and noises were earth-shattering.
The swollen-headed beast struggled to stand up, and was squeezed into the inner circle by the beast tide, almost sticking to the feet of the third-level monster. It screamed in pain because there was a foreign object in its belly, but the sound was muffled. The wound on its abdomen was completely healed, and its internal organs were heavy on Li Bochen. He used a dagger to cut a small incision on the side of his belly before he could breathe. At the same time, he could also feel that his legs, which were almost only broken bones, began to itch, as if countless tiny granules were drilling into his bone marrow.
Healing begins. He gritted his teeth and thought about how to escape in the future if it really worked.
Just then, he saw two people.
The swollen-headed beast that Li Bochen was living in was two or three steps away from the third-level monster, with a circle of open space in the middle. This is because of the deterrence of the superior's will, and all low-level monsters feel instinctive fear.
In this clearing, there was a man and a woman riding on a smaller camel monster, their heads lowered in the wind and snow... It looked like they were still alive.
Li Bochen was stunned for a while, and began to wonder if there was any precedent of monsters taking humans away as prisoners.
The answer is no.
Monsters are cruel by nature, and the most numerous first-level monsters are only driven by instinct and the will of higher-level monsters. Although the monster beasts of the second level and above are intelligent, their cruelty is magnified by their intelligence. In the thousands of years of struggle with the emperor and the six kingdoms, the monsters never left alive.
So, what's going on with these two people?
Li Bochen resisted the stinging and itching on his legs, squinted his eyes, and tried to see the man and woman clearly. The wind and snow were very strong, and the faces of the two people were a little blurred as they were two or three meters apart. However, you can see that they are all wearing fancy clothes and don't wear big cloaks or anything like that. The pants the two of them wore were of the same color, and they were the same color as the camel beast sitting down...
No, damn, those aren’t pants! Li Bochen's eyes widened. The man and the woman "grew" from the back of the camel beast! !
Just like he is now! !
At this moment, the man sitting in the back turned his face and looked around unconsciously.
Li Bochen recognized him immediately. He also realized at this moment that if he could survive, he might not have to live this kind of life of licking blood with the blade of a knife in the future.
The premise is that he can kill the man or save the man.
