Jiang Yao's words were heard by Zhang Qianjin and Liu Dafu.

The two people, who were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths, finally came to their senses.

"Is this thing the mantis monster in the legend?"

"Looking at its appearance, it is indeed ferocious. Just looking at it a few more times makes me feel a little scared."

"Isn't this ghost thing invulnerable to swords and guns, and moves as fast as the wind? No matter how many ordinary people there are, they can't handle it at all?"

"Now it seems so weak, but if I had a weapon in my hand, I feel I can handle it."

……

Their expressions were extremely complicated. After Zhang Qianjin and Liu Dafu looked at Jiang Yao strangely, their eyes finally fell on the mantis man's corpse on the ground.

The previous destruction of the entire regiment is still kept secret.

Although Zhao Zhengping and others, as the senior leaders of the new garrison, knew about this matter, most of the ordinary soldiers below did not even know the existence of the mantis monsters, so how could they be qualified to know more?

Zhang Qianjin and Liu Dafu had some knowledge about the mantis monsters because several of their teammates had been killed while they were patrolling within a one-kilometer radius of the Death Valley. They were slightly better than other ordinary soldiers.

At this moment, the corpse of the mantis monster, which they knew was mysterious and almost unbeatable, was placed in front of the two of them.

The red and black body was covered with a layer of carapace, which was densely packed with what seemed to be a layer of fine scales.

The entire corpse, which was more than two meters tall, had no shell covering the legs. However, the monster's legs were extremely thick, with exposed, hideous blue veins clearly visible.

The two blade-like arms had fine serrations on the edges, flashing with cold light. Just looking at them for a few seconds could make people feel palpitations involuntarily.

The rest of the monster's body was intact except for a bloody hole the size of a bowl on its chest, which had pierced through its shell and penetrated its entire body.

The blood flowing from that place was not like that of humans. It was a strange dark green color. From a step or two away, Zhang Qianjin and Liu Dafu could both feel a strong fishy smell coming towards them.

Without a doubt, both of them were certain that the penetrating wound on the monster's chest must have been caused by Jiang Yao.

After all, although they did not see Jiang Yao's attack, they saw that when the monster was knocked to the ground, Jiang Yao, who had just disappeared from their sight, strode out from the bushes not far away.

Such obvious evidence was already placed in front of them. The person who killed the monster could definitely not be anyone else except Jiang Yao.

When they looked at each other, Zhang Qianjin and Liu Dafu could not conceal the shock on their faces, and they both gasped almost at the same time.

"When we received the order from above, they only told us to follow Mr. Jiang into the area in front of us, and there was no other explanation."

"But the corpse of the mantis monster in front of us is indeed of great research value to the authorities."

"If you can bring this thing back to the camp, you will definitely get a lot of credit!"

"It's just that such a large body is too heavy to carry."

"How about, Mr. Jiang, let's take this monster's corpse back to the camp first!"

Liu Dafu walked around the mantis monster, looking embarrassed and sighing.

While speaking, he even took out a communication tool and tried to contact the camp.

It's a pity that there seems to be some abnormality in this area now, causing the signal to be somewhat disordered, making it impossible to communicate normally with the camp.

Before, Jiang Yao was seen dragging the monster's corpse all the way to them, and it seemed quite easy. At this moment, Liu Dafu grabbed one of the monster's legs and tried it.

He felt that the monster's corpse was very heavy. Although it was not so heavy that it could not be dragged, he was already sweating profusely and gasping for breath after just dragging it for about one or two meters.

With no other choice, he could only put down the monster's leg, looked at Jiang Yao with a pleading look, and then tentatively opened his mouth and made a suggestion.

"We came out of the camp and just stepped into the one-kilometer radius of Death Valley. We haven't even walked a few steps."

"At this point, I definitely won't just go back home."

"This thing called merit is useful to you, but it has no appeal to me at all."

"Xiao Liu, you want to take this monster's corpse back to the camp. This is your own choice. I understand and I won't stop you. But you have to have the ability to do so. You can't count on me."

Feeling Xiao Liu's gaze, Jiang Yao turned his gaze directly to this person.

He curled his lips, snorted, and directly declined.

In the real world, he hopes that the country will be peaceful and the people will be able to live and work in peace and contentment. This is true, but he does not want too many extraordinary factors to appear.

After all, the ancients once said that if there were too many knights who broke the law with force and possessed extraordinary powers, it would not only be of little benefit to the country, but could also become a source of instability.

Those scientific madmen mentioned above, relying on the few low-level inheritances they left behind, created a bunch of shoddy warriors, and they even came up with a way to allow Zhu Mingxu to break through the limits of his martial arts and directly step into the realm of refining the internal organs.

The mantis monster just now couldn't even withstand his full-strength punch and was killed instantly by him, but it was only because he was too strong.

If it were ordinary people, as long as it got close to them, even if there were dozens or hundreds of them, they could be killed completely by this monster in the blink of an eye.

If this corpse falls into the hands of those crazy scientists, who knows what they can come up with.

Jiang Yao neither supported nor opposed this.

It's okay to provide them with a little help, but he naturally has no interest in putting aside his own work and serving them.

"It's a pity to just leave this monster's corpse here and not take it back with you!"

Jiang Yao's words have revealed his attitude.

In response to this, Liu Dafu looked regretful, sighed and said with emotion.

"I already have a rough idea of ​​the strength of this mantis monster."

"Right now, I just want to clear this area quickly and get to the entrance of Death Valley as soon as possible."

"When that time comes, there will definitely be no shortage of these monster corpses, and you will definitely get the credit!"

Jiang Yao responded casually with a blank expression.

While speaking, his eyes fell directly on his fellow villager Zhang Qianjin.

This guy was squatting near the corpse of the mantis monster, and I don't know what he was checking.

"Brother Yao, Xiao Liu, come over and take a look."

"This monster's face looks like a human face."

"I've been squatting here, looking for a long time, and I always feel that this face is familiar to me!" Zhang Qianjin suddenly exclaimed, as if he had discovered something.

Jiang Yao frowned unconsciously when he heard his words.

Following Zhang Qian's line of sight, his gaze also fell on the monster's head.

The monster's head is about the size of an ordinary person. Compared with its very strong body that is more than two meters tall, its head looks much smaller.

Its small head, except for its red and black color and slightly protruding eyes, the overall distribution of its facial features seemed to be no different from that of a normal person. The monster's face in Jiang Yao's eyes was square, with a big nose and wide mouth, and a pair of protruding ears.

If he changed its color to normal skin color and retracted the bulging eyeballs, Jiang Yao could already imagine what the face looked like.

"This face seems to belong to my former teammate Li Dehu."

"Some time ago, in this area, there were people who were abducted by monsters and disappeared. Li Dehu was one of them."

"Could it be that this monster in front of us has some relationship with Li Dehu?"

……

Zhang Qianjin, who had been squatting near the monster's head and had not stood up yet, tilted his head and thought for a long time. He finally found the source of that familiar feeling.

With a cry of surprise, his face turned pale and he stood up with a bang.

He staggered back several steps, still looking frightened.

"The face of the monster, was he your former teammate?" Jiang Yao was stunned, and his brows were visibly furrowed.

In Hong Kong, when Zhu Mingxu came to the door on his own initiative, he seemed to have said that some experts above speculated that the mantis monster was transformed from an ordinary person.

But guesses are just guesses.

Those experts had never actually come into contact with that kind of mantis monster.

In the absence of any evidence, their guesses are based solely on conjecture, which is like someone who has never ridden an electric scooter setting all kinds of rules and regulations for this type of transportation. It is bound to be a bit unsatisfactory.

When Jiang Yao heard Zhu Mingxu talk about this before, he was also skeptical.

But now, Zhang Qianjin's performance at this moment made Jiang Yao immediately connect it with the speculations made by the experts mentioned by Zhu Mingxu.

"Brother Yao, I can't guarantee that the monster's face is definitely my former teammate Li Dehu."

"But I can be sure that there is a high degree of similarity between the two!"

After taking several deep breaths, Zhang Qianjin seemed to calm down a little.

After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and replied.

On the other side, Liu Dafu stared at the monster's face for a while from a few steps away, then he spoke up and added, "I also know Li Dehu that Xiao Zhang mentioned, but I'm not too familiar with him."

"I just looked at it for a while, and the monster's face is indeed very similar to that man's."

"If it is really the same face, a living person who has only been missing for a few days, how could he suddenly become like this?"

……

A trace of sadness and dejection appeared on his face, and Liu Dafu sighed.

"Whether it is true or not, we will know the answer naturally if we kill a few more mantis monsters!" Jiang Yao couldn't help but frowned even more tightly after hearing what the two said.

With a light snort, he squatted down beside the monster's head.

He touched the monster's ears and pried open its big mouth. When he set his eyes on the pair of bulging eyes, black gas suddenly began to rise wildly from the monster's body.

The sudden change made Jiang Yao stunned.

"I am immortal!"

"What a strong body! Now it's mine..."

The black gas condensed instantly and turned into a twisted black shadow that was somewhat similar to a mantis.

With a strange laugh, it shot towards Jiang Yao's forehead as fast as lightning.

"You are a small skill, but you dare to do everything in front of me!"

"Blood River, appeared!" After a brief moment of surprise, Jiang Yao quickly reacted.

Looking at the twisted black shadow that was already very close to him, he sneered with disdain.

The next moment, a rolling river of blood appeared out of nowhere in front of him.

This river of blood existed between reality and illusion. It was forged after he practiced the Supreme Blood Nerve. It was a true manifestation of his martial arts will.

When facing the mantis monster, he just needs to use his fists and feet.

But the twisted black shadow in front of him, formed by the rolling black air, seemed to be condensed by spiritual will and had no real entity.

To deal with such an existence, it is naturally safer to directly sacrifice the River of Blood.

"This is..." The words uttered by the black shadow were obviously unfamiliar syllables that Jiang Yao had never heard before. However, when he heard the voice, he could instantly understand the meaning contained in those short syllables.

The sudden appearance of the rolling river of blood obviously caught the black shadow by surprise, making it a little panicked.

However, there was only time for a scream before the rolling blood wave swept the twisted black shadow into the blood river.

After floating up and down for a few times, the black shadow disappeared and melted into thin air, as if it had never appeared.

"No, something unexpected happened."

"The twisted black shadow formed by the black gas gushing out of the monster seems to have the ability to speak. What the hell is this thing?"

"Also, is the river of blood that suddenly appeared in front of Mr. Jiang real or imaginary? Where did it come from?"

"That twisted black shadow was sucked into the blood river and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Was it killed?"

……

Zhang Qianjin and Liu Dafu, who were only a few steps away from Jiang Yao, naturally saw everything that had just happened clearly.

Their faces were pale and filled with horror.

They were just ordinary people, and when they suddenly saw this unimaginable and horrifying scene in front of them, they had already prepared themselves to lose their lives here, but they could not control themselves at all.

As if it was a conditioned reflex, the two of them retreated more than ten steps in a row, and finally with great courage, they stopped temporarily.

Barely suppressing the fear in their hearts, Zhang Qianjin and Liu Dafu looked ahead again. Both the rolling river of blood and the twisted black shadow had completely disappeared, as if they had never appeared.

Rubbing their eyes, both of them began to doubt whether the scene they had just seen was an illusion caused by some mysterious factors.

After looking at each other, Zhang Qianjin and Liu Dafu nodded, and mustering up their courage, they tentatively took a few steps forward.

The corpse of the mantis monster on the ground was no longer as lively as before, as if it had been dead for quite some time. Its hideous body looked much drier, and there were signs of decay.

Jiang Yao, who was standing next to him, had his eyes tightly closed, like a statue, still squatting next to the monster's head. (End of this chapter)
