I am immortal with scientific thinking

Chapter 229 The Vanishing Mortal

Ever since Qingyunzong shrunk its line of defense and Xuanwu City, which was at the forefront, was broken, nearly half of Qingyunzong's area fell into the hands of Moxiu.

The geographical location of the Daqian Dynasty is at the junction of the two sects, behind the high mountains and snowfields, so when Lin Chen returns to the Qingyun Sect, it is inevitable that he will pass through the place controlled by the demon cultivator of the Xuanyin Sect.

That is to say, the enemy-occupied area.

Of course, Lin Chen didn't panic even if he entered the enemy-occupied area.

After all, with his current strength and means, even if there are several high-level Jindan Daoist on the Moxiu side, he can use the Instant Thousand Miles Talisman to get away safely, without any danger to his life.

Not to mention that the enemy-occupied area is vast, most of the places are lush forests, and there are many cities. With the current manpower of Moxiu, it is impossible to patrol and monitor the whole territory.

He sneaks in it, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to expose, Moxiu wants to find his position, which is almost equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack.

Generally speaking, Lin Chen's safety is guaranteed.

With safety guaranteed, Lin Chen naturally wanted to obtain more information in order to gain an advantage in the next action.

Therefore, he chose to come to the fairy city that was closest to him, under Qing Yunzong's command, but to his surprise...

"All the mortals in the city have been moved away?"

In a forest outside a big city, Lin Chen leaned on a tree with his hand, and used means to explore the situation, and couldn't help but move his eyes.

If he remembered correctly, this should be a city under Qing Yunzong's command, with a population of one million, but he used means to investigate the situation, and found that there was no living person in the whole city!

There are no monks, and it can be barely said, but there is no mortal, which is beyond Lin Chen's expectation.

"What's the situation?" Lin Chen hesitated, then jumped directly into the city, "Forget it, let's go in and have a look."

Anyway, on the surface, he is just a flesh and blood clone, the main body is still under the ground, so it doesn't matter if it is broken.

Of course, this is just a flesh and blood clone in the Qi refining period.

After all, even if Lin Chen has mastered the flesh and blood cloning technology, the resources consumed by clones of the same realm are not small, and there is no need to fold them in the pathfinding.

As for the avatar of Jindanqi, Lin Chen has no idea yet.

After all, the Jindan cultivator is no longer a body of flesh and blood, but a body of aura. The nature of the two has changed, and he doesn't know how to create it for a while.

Lin Chen directly used the Breeze Technique, surrounded by the breeze, stepped a few meters on the ground, and entered the city after a while.

But as soon as he entered the city, Lin Chen couldn't help frowning deeply as he looked at the scene in front of him.

If the city in front of me could be described in two words, it would be - ruins.

Collapsed houses, chaotic weeds, damaged walls, and dense and messy footprints on the ground...

"This place...should have experienced a great war." Lin Chen walked into the city, observed the scene constantly, and came to this conclusion.

Because not only did he find the traces left by the monk after the battle, he also found sputtered dark red blood that had dried up for a long time.

A scene of ruins, blood stains everywhere, and a deserted city without any animals.

Lin Chen stood on top of the ruins like this, looking at the blood-colored sunset in the sky, his expression gradually became solemn.

"I can tell that there has been a big war here, but the question is... Where are the people?" After Lin Chen came to this conclusion, this confusion couldn't help but arise in his mind.

It is indeed normal for people to die after a war.

If a village or a small town is completely dead and deserted after a war, Lin Chen can understand.

But what he is in now is a big city with a population of nearly one million in the past.

Judging from the traces at the scene, there should be no Jindan monks participating in the battle, but the battle of the most powerful and foundation-building monks alone can kill nearly a million people?

Although it is not impossible to massacre afterwards, why do you want to do this?
Although most demon cultivators use mortals as materials for cultivation, there is a limit to this after all. If they exhaust their resources and kill all of them, who will provide them with fresh blood in the future?
And even if they were all killed, the question is, what about the corpses?

The death qi, resentment, yin qi, etc. generated by the death of nearly a million people, together with the spiritual veins underground, are enough to give birth to ghost generals comparable to those in the late foundation establishment period.

But just before entering the city, he wandered around outside the city, and did not sense such aura.

"These mortals...disappeared? No, they should have been taken somewhere...huh?"

Lin Chen was thinking, and let the other side of the city run, but then, he seemed to sense something, and his eyes couldn't help but move.

The next moment, he took a step forward and disappeared into the shadows between the ruins.

After a while, in the west, under the background of the bloody sunset, in the distant sky, black dots appeared one by one at some unknown time.

No!To be precise, those are not black spots, but pale human heads!
They are like balloons that have been released, floating directly in the air!
"This is... a balloon with a human head?!" Lin Chen's expression froze.

Lin Chen has nothing to be afraid of mere dead heads, but the problem is, this number is a bit too much, right?

Although it appears very sparse in the air, its coverage is extremely wide.

At least as far as he could see, half of the sky was covered with these human head balloons. There were at least nearly a thousand of them!
"This dead man's head floated from the east. If I remember correctly, the east should be the next city closer to Qing Yunzong..." Lin Chen looked at the strange scene in the sky, thoughtfully.

Judging from this direction, it is the main road leading to the direction of Qingyunzong, so these dead heads should be something like a monitor, monitoring the main road in the area occupied by the demon cultivator of Xuanyinmen!
"Could it be that these disappeared mortals were used to create dead heads to monitor this area?"

With Lin Chen's method, it is natural to be able to distinguish the creation principle of these dead heads.

It is nothing more than imprisoning the souls of mortals in the head, and then filling the corresponding spirit stones, and connecting them with the method of curse, so that this vast area can be monitored.

But this is only a temporary means, because the human head will rot, and the spiritual energy of the spirit stone will be exhausted, just like before you, the heads of people are constantly falling from the sky and smashed into a puddle of flesh.

But the advantage is that it is simple and cheap to manufacture, so Moxiu directly uses it as an ordinary surveillance method.

"Fortunately, it's just a dead head that has been refined by the demonic cultivator. Otherwise, if it is the strange magic weapon such as [Flying Head Drop] and [Broken Soul Head] specially refined by the demonic cultivator, otherwise thousands of them will add up. I'm afraid it will cause me a lot of trouble." Even Lin Chen couldn't help but become a little cautious.

Although it is not that kind of weird human-head magic weapon, these ordinary refined dead heads will also cause great trouble to the actions of ordinary monks.

After all, not everyone can master methods such as earth dungeon and invisibility, and even if they know it, they can't last a long time on the road, and they are easily exposed to the surveillance of the head.

Therefore, these human head balloons are used to monitor the whereabouts of ordinary monks or the army of monks in a large area.

"But it should be noted that the head cannot be damaged, otherwise it will be easily noticed by the magician."

Lin Chen's eyes moved, and he took a step forward. The surrounding light and shadow changed, and he was directly invisible in the air.

Soon, he rushed towards the direction where the dead man's head came from, that is, the direction to Qing Yunzong.

But what Lin Chen didn't expect was that when he came to the next city, there was still no one there, and there was still only a deserted city left.

Even in the next city, there is still no one.

Even in the five cities that passed by for seven days and seven nights, there was no one there, as if all the people had completely disappeared!
"What's the situation?! Could it be that those demon cultivators are really so insane?!"

Outside a city, Lin Chen looked at the man-made traces left on the ground for a few days, and his face became a little ugly.

According to the phenomena in these cities, he can already judge that these cities, with populations close to tens of millions, were forcibly moved to the direction of Qingyunzong by demon cultivators after experiencing the battle of defending the city.

Bringing mortals to the battlefield is also done by the demon cultivator. Lin Chen can figure out what they want to do after thinking about it!

But what puzzled Lin Chen was that monks were not allowed to massacre mortals. This was an unspoken rule in the world of cultivating immortals.

This has nothing to do with Daoism, but only enough mortals can continuously fill a force with blood.

But they dared to do this, are they crazy?

"Is it because you are not a mortal under your command, so you don't care about consumption?" Lin Chen seemed to have thought of something, and frowned deeply.

"But if this is the case, can Qing Yunzong really stop the tide of tens of millions of corpses?"

boom!
Just as Lin Chen was thinking about the battle situation, there was an explosion in the distant jungle, and then, a forest of birds was startled!

"Huh? Is there someone over there?"

Lin Chen's eyes moved, and at the same time he rushed over.
