"This is actually a human being??!"
Hearing Su Mo's statement, Yao Wenkai and others could hardly turn around for a moment.
Such a big bat, are you telling me that it was a human when it was alive?
How does it look like a human?
It is true that in reality there are many weird and unique shapes.
But basically they are formed by possessing human spirits.
For example, the toilet monster, the locust tree monster, or urban legends formed by word of mouth.
But just by looking at the bat monster in front of me, I could tell that it was transformed from a bat corpse.
Now it is said to be a human being, so what's going on?
Everyone was confused.
Seeing this, Su Mo naturally knew what their doubts were.
Immediately, he formed a spiritually powerful hand and raised his hand to capture the crazy and surly rotten bat.
Then he pinned him to the ground, and no matter how hard the opponent struggled, his body remained motionless.
Then he said to everyone:
"Look carefully at its body structure."
Song Ruyuan and others approached with confusion.
With Su Mo as their guarantee, they were not worried that the bat would explode and hurt anyone.
In contrast, they were more curious about how this bat came to connect with humans.
After taking a closer look at the scene, everyone immediately noticed something was wrong.
The wings of this bat are different from those of ordinary bats.
It looks more like a fleshy membrane between the forelimbs and the trunk.
Its forelimbs are very similar to humans, with fascia connected between the limbs and claws, and the tops are black and curved, like hooks.
If only the wings were similar, that's all. Its hind limbs were simply degenerated and shortened human legs and feet.
Considering that it is only half the size of a human, if its hind limbs were intact, it would be almost exactly the size of an adult.
And the most important thing is that I didn’t look carefully when I was attacked just now. Now I look up and take a look. Isn’t that sharp face the bulging and alienated human head?
"hiss!"
Chen Shuo couldn't help but gasped, his face filled with deep shock:
"Doesn't this mean that he changed from a human to a bat during his lifetime? Is this really possible?"
"If nothing else happens, it should be possible."
Song Ruyuan said with a solemn expression:
"It has been mentioned in ancient books that there were many evil cultivators in ancient times. These evil cultivators often mastered extremely special and strange spells, such as the art of making animals. Once the spell is cast, the recipient can turn into an animal. It is really weird. Inexplicable.
I thought these were myths and legends, but I didn’t expect to see real examples with my own eyes. "
When Shi Hao who was nearby heard this, his expression suddenly changed and he said in a trembling voice:
"I just saw many different and strange skeletons in the prison. Doesn't that mean that they were all human beings during their lifetime?"
"If nothing else, it should be like this."
Song Ruyuan frowned and replied.
He looked at Su Mo, who looked thoughtful, and asked:
"Did you find anything?"
"There are two things I can't figure out right now."
Su Mo thought for a while and said:
"The first is the art of making animals. I have also seen this technique in ancient books, but I doubt that they were formed through the art of making animals.
Normal spells can definitely be broken after death, but they still retain their inhuman form after death.
A simple mage would never be able to do this, which shows that the caster is at least a mage or above.
In that age of the end of the Dharma, were there really powerful people above mages?
Even if he did, would he stay in a small Liu family and cast spells specifically for them?
In addition, there are many skeletons in the cell on the second underground floor.
Many of the skeletons were not completely transformed and looked more like experimental subjects.
As for this bat, it is better to say that it is the result of experimental verification.
In addition, there is another question, that is, why does the Liu family spend so much time turning people into livestock?
There must be a deeper reason behind this. "
Song Ruyuan slowly nodded and expressed his agreement.
"Continue going down, all the secrets should be hidden on the third floor."
Su Mo crushed the bat monster and continued walking down the deep passage.
Song Ruyuan and the others followed behind.
When you reach the third underground floor, you can smell the strong odor that doesn't dissipate.
It was a stench mixed with the stench of rotten corpses and various animal feces.
As soon as they smelled it, Zhuo Ningning and others who were leaning back almost vomited on the spot.
Su Mo frowned slightly and activated the airflow to ventilate the space that had been sealed for thousands of years.
It may be that the ventilation movement was relatively loud, and soon, the monsters lurking in various torture chambers entered the corridor one after another.
A giant python with a human face, a cheetah with two hands on its back, a golden eagle with a lump hanging from its crotch... all kinds of monsters are too numerous to mention.
The only thing that is the same is that the human parts of these monsters are extremely rare, and most of them are animals.
Moreover, these monsters have long since died, their minds are muddled, and only their cruel instincts are left. They are inferior to the two human symbols they met in the Han family before.
Su Mo opened the way ahead and easily wiped out all the monsters on the field.
Don't give them a chance to perform a siege at all.
Even the strongest one among them is already comparable to the peak of level 7.
For him, it was just a snap of his fingers.
Watching Su Mo destroy many strange monsters like chopping melons and vegetables.
Song Ruyuan and others behind him, although they had already realized how powerful the opponent was, they still felt shocked at this moment.
Without Su Mo on this trip, even if they knew that there were invisible secrets buried deep in the three underground floors, they would not be able to go and investigate.
We can only let this secret be buried deep under the ruins.
But at this moment, they have the opportunity to let this secret come to light again.
Walking around the masonry corridor, we came to the cleanest and neatest room at the end.
The ceiling of the room is inlaid with three night pearls that emit a faint light.
Under the faint light, the entire room was filled with thick dust.
In front of the table is a large long mahogany table, behind the table is a grand master's chair, and sitting on the chair is a skeletal corpse.
And all around, there were similar corpses everywhere.
Either lying on the ground, lying on the table, or sitting quietly on a chair.
Just looking at this scene, everyone can fully imagine their postures when they are dying.
"It seems like these people died quite easily."
Sun Hong crossed her arms with a rather sarcastic smile on her face.
Everyone can completely understand her hidden meaning.
If nothing else, this is the secret laboratory of the Liu family.
The people staying in this room are all the original punishers, or researchers.
It is they who single-handedly created many human beasts in the outside world.
But in the end, they died very easily, without ever experiencing the consequences of bad deeds.
It should be noted that those miserable humans and beasts will turn into ghosts that linger in this underground space even after death...
"I seem to have found an experiment record!"
Zhuo Ningning said, holding up a jade slip on the table.
Everyone hurriedly came over.
I saw that the jade slips were densely carved with seals the size of mosquitoes and flies.
The overall content is about how a discarded object that was brought in was transformed from a human into a fish.
There are also many notes and insights at the back.
The so-called abandoned objects are the Liu family's contemptuous name for those humans and beasts.
According to the meaning revealed between the lines, anyone who is secretly hostile to the Liu family, or who infringes upon the interests of the Liu family, or who is disobedient to discipline, will basically be secretly kidnapped here and executed.
The so-called execution is to transform people into animals.
No magical magic was used during this period.
Instead, he mentioned a strange elixir called [Animal Transformation Pill].
According to the statement on the jade slip, [Animal Transformation Pill] can permanently transform humans into livestock.
It's just that because the characteristics and mechanism of the elixir have not yet been fully understood, the transformed livestock are often not very controllable.
It is very possible to transform into an insect, fish, bird or beast, and it is also possible to retain many human characteristics.
What the Liu family did was to further improve and revise the Animal Husbandry Pill.
Make it a more perfect medicine.
Naturally, a lot of experiments were spent during this period.
Those discarded objects are the most suitable elixir materials.
After generations of experiments, they finally stably produced seven improved versions of the Animal Husbandry Pill.
These seven improved versions of the Animal Transformation Pills can allow users to accurately transform into seven different animals.
But even if it is a fixed type, there will still be some minor problems.
For example, some human characteristics remain.
The next step is to find ways to eliminate these human characteristics.
Make sure this conversion is flawless.
However, they did not wait until they could create a truly perfect animal-creating elixir.
The catastrophe of the festival broke out.
As a result, the entire Liu family was destroyed.
The so-called animal research has naturally become a thing of the past.
Everyone collected many records and materials related to the experiment at the scene.
Looking at the thrilling and disgusting scenes, everyone began to think about a question——
Why did the Liu family want to breed animals?
Finally, Su Mo got the general idea from a transcript under the mahogany table.
The Liu family's livestock production can be traced back to a certain ancestor a hundred and fifty years ago.
It was that ancestor who brought the Liu family from an ordinary farm family in a village to the position of one of the three major families.
As early as 150 years ago, Chenjiacun was just a small mountain village with only a hundred households.
After such a long time, after generations of development and the introduction of outsiders, Chenjia Village has become a giant village with more than 10,000 people.
The three major families suddenly rose to prominence during this period.
Including the God of Agriculture Festival, it has also become an annual festival in Chenjia Village under the leadership of the three major families.
In addition to the sacrificial utensils and saints held in the ceremony, the Liu family's biggest asset is the two-flavored elixir recipe produced by the ancestors.
One of them is simply called [Animal Transformation Pill], which is used to transform humans into animals.
Its biggest effect is to eat it!
The livestock transformed by the Animal Transformation Pill not only have extremely delicious meat, but also provide incomparable vitality. Both practitioners and ordinary people can benefit from it.
According to the internal saying of the Liu family, it is [use shape to make up for the shape, and people to make up for the person]!
But the livestock transformed from the Animal Transformation Pill do not only have this use.
According to that ancestor, to hold a big sacrifice like the God of Agriculture, you must prepare the corresponding sacrifices in order to please the God of Agriculture.
Ordinary pigs, horses, cattle and sheep, the god of agriculture will definitely not look at them.
If you want to give, give something better, that is human beings.
There is no more suitable sacrifice in this world than human beings.
After all, humans are the primates of all things!
Their piety can only be seen by sacrificing a living person.
But living sacrifice is not that easy to do.
At that time, the Liu family did not have a high status in Chenjiacun.
Once a living sacrifice is proposed, it will inevitably be criticized by thousands of people and cast aside by thousands of people.
After all, they are just some farmers who dig food in the fields all day long and have no idea about the rules and systems of the festival.
In order to be able to successfully hold the God of Agriculture Festival and enjoy the gifts of the God of Agriculture.
With the sacrificial vessels in hand, the Liu family naturally had to find a way to make the Saturn Festival as grand as expected.
It was originally planned to buy some boys and girls who volunteered to be sacrifices.
But now that we have the Animal Transformation Pill, there is no need to be so troublesome.
Using the livestock transformed from the Animal Transformation Pill for sacrifice, the ignorant villagers will not gossip.
Although the humans and animals offered at the beginning were not perfect, after generations of improvements by the Liu family, they would surely be able to offer the most perfect animals and receive the most abundant blessings.
From this, Su Mo and others roughly understood the Liu family's thoughts.
This approach seems very superstitious, but it is a pity that this is a world with extraordinary power.
The Liu family makes animals to obtain blessings from the gods.
At first glance this sounds like the ravings of a fool.
How could the gods bless something like this?
But in fact, the Liu family did receive rewards for sacrificing humans and animals.
Not only is the weather going smoothly in the fields at home, but the business outside is also booming, and even having children is going very smoothly.
The more obvious example is that the second flavor pill that the ancestor received was a gift from God.
This is a new round of grace from the god of agriculture.
This pill is called [Resurrection Pill], and it has the effect of bringing the dead back to life!
No matter what kind of corpse it is or how it died, as long as it is no more than twelve hours after death, it can be brought back with the Resurrection Pill!
The efficacy of these holy treasures, which countless emperors are pursuing, is simply unimaginable!
Just relying on this precious medicine, the Liu family can become guests of emperors from all over the world.
However, until the disaster at the festival occurred, the Liu family still lived in obscurity.
The ancestor of the Liu family who brought out the Resurrection Pill issued a strict ban from the beginning.
This kind of elixir can only be used within the Liu family, and can only be used on people who have died unexpectedly, and the age of the user must be limited to under thirty years old.
This kind of ban is actually easy to understand. After all, such a magical elixir must require extremely rare medicinal materials, and the raw materials are not produced in large quantities. Coupled with the loss and success rate in the elixir refining process, there will be even fewer finished elixirs, which is even more inappropriate. Just waste it.
And as the saying goes, no one is innocent of the crime of harboring a treasure. If it is exposed that the Liu family has treasures such as the Resurrection Pill, it will definitely cause huge waves. It will be impossible for the Liu family to save this treasure.
But these are superficial reasons.
The more critical point lies in the third point.
