People are in the comprehensive tomb, unloading the mountain and stealing the chief

Just as Chen Ziyan was puzzled, footsteps were heard outside the cabin again, but this time the footsteps were hurried, and it was obvious that there were quite a few people.

He knew these should be his temporary guys.

Apparently, they have solved the above problem.

It is obvious that he is here to look at his own situation. After all, whether he is someone who wants him to die or not, he hopes to get an answer as soon as possible.

As he expected, Chen Ziyan soon saw his men, led by the two from the Dong family.

It was obvious from the bloodstains on their bodies that these two men had obviously been through a tough battle.

After looking around, Chen Ziyan did not see Bai Xian. It was clear what this meant. If he was okay, he would definitely come down with them.

This made Chen Ziyan's eyes flash with a hint of sadness, because now he could see that Bai Xian was not someone who was hostile to him. It was a pity that such a good fighter died here.

But that's all. After all, Bai Xian was someone he hired. He worked for money and should have known that this day would come.

"Master Chen, are you okay?"

The first person to enter the cabin was Dong Yanxia. He glanced at the corpse on the ground, and then looked at Chen Ziyan who turned around.

"I'm fine. What's the situation up there?" Chen Ziyan waved his hand casually and asked.

Although he had the flower fox to help him observe, the flower fox was not a human after all and could not describe things in too much detail.

Therefore, Chen Ziyan really doesn’t know the specific situation above.

"Fortunately, although some brothers suffered casualties, it's not a big problem." Dong Yanxia said immediately after hearing this.

His words were simple and what he wanted to express was clear, which was that apart from the deaths of some of the men, there was no damage elsewhere and it did not affect the ship's navigation.

"That's good." Chen Ziyan also understood what he meant, so he nodded slightly.

As long as the ship was fine, the deaths and injuries of the temporary crew members were not a big deal to him.

As I said, once you enter this industry, life and death are determined by fate!
After saying this, Chen Ziyan planned to let Dong Yanxia lead the team to clean up the mess, while he would continue to study the changes of the sea monkeys.

Compared to other things, he felt that figuring out the weirdness of these sea monkeys was the most important thing to do now.

As Chen Ziyan turned around, his eyes accidentally swept across the corpse on the ground, and then... he stood there in a daze.

Because he actually discovered that the familiar expression on the sea monkey's face was the same expression on the faces of these corpses.

It was precisely because the expressions on these people's faces did not change at all until death that he remembered them so clearly and felt a sense of familiarity when he saw the sea monkey's expression.

In fact, he was not familiar with this expression, but his memory of it was vivid enough.

After realizing this, a sense of horror arose spontaneously, and the barrier in Chen Ziyan's mind was broken.

He understood what had happened. During the battle just now, those people took the opportunity to tear off their flesh and blood and feed it to the sea monkeys here.

That's what they're here for.

And now, the sea monkeys that had eaten their flesh and blood also had a similar expression on their faces. There was definitely some connection between the two.

Thinking of my previous guess, these people came for the sea monkeys.

Before recognizing the source of the expression on the sea monkey's face, Chen Ziyan might still be confused about it, but now he has completely confirmed that these guys' target is the sea monkey, or more precisely, to feed their flesh to the sea monkey.

Their goal is to make these sea monkeys become like them.

After Chen Ziyan whispered it softly, he felt that he had found the key.

This should be the purpose of those people just now.

"Master Chen, are you okay?"

At this moment, Dong Yanxia's voice rang out, bringing Chen Ziyan's thoughts back to reality.

"I'm fine, you guys go and do your work, I'll leave the above matters to you." After Chen Ziyan came to his senses, he did not blame Dong Yanxia, ​​but told him what he was going to say.

"I understand, Master Chen." Dong Yanxia did not refuse because it was an easy thing to do.

Having just experienced a rather brutal battle, even those people with ulterior motives were in no mood to go against him on this matter, so the task assigned by Chen Ziyan was easy to complete.

"What about these corpses?" Dong Yanxia looked at the corpses on the ground and asked Chen Ziyan.

What I mean is whether you need help to deal with it.

After all, if Chen Ziyan planned to stay here all the time, these corpses would seem a bit of a nuisance.

"Don't worry about them, I'll take care of it." Chen Ziyan refused without hesitation.

He needs to do more research and cannot just dispose of the body.

"Then we'll go up first." Upon hearing this, Dong Yanxia glanced at the corpse on the ground, but did not say much. He directly led his men out of the cabin.

After all the guys left, Chen Ziyan asked Wushuang Gui to guard the door and started his research again.

He gathered the bodies together so they could be better compared to the sea monkeys.

Chen Ziyan did not rush to do anything, but simply observed from the side. Then he found that as time passed, the expressions on the faces of the other sea monkeys also changed, and began to become exactly the same as the corpses next to them.

At first, Chen Ziyan guessed that this might be some kind of parasitism whose principle he did not understand, just like the Wang family's use of black-haired snakes.

They only need to use their consciousness to occupy the body of the black-haired snake to replace the black flying creature that serves as the shell. Now these cold-faced men are feeding their own flesh and blood to the sea monkeys, perhaps they are doing the same thing.

But he soon realized something was wrong, because the number of sea monkeys that had undergone changes exceeded the number of corpses.

If it was a parasite taking over another's body, this situation would not have occurred.

In the end, all the sea monkeys they captured showed the same indifferent expression.

Looking at the sea monkeys in front of him, and then turning his head to look at the corpses lined up in a row, Chen Ziyan became more and more confused.

The joy of discovering that the other party's target was a sea monkey was gone at this moment.

Is this a disease?

Or is it a secret technique of controlling insects like Gu?
Chen Ziyan, who was racking his brains to no avail, began to shift his focus to other possibilities.

If that's the case, then it can be explained.

However, he was not sure because he had not done much research on this, so in the end he could only seek help from the Xiangling inheritance.

He thought that it was hard to say what the disease was, but if it was a method like poisonous insects, then there might be cases in the inheritance that could help him. (End of this chapter)
