From the time travel, I became extraordinary

Not far away, in an area where there were clusters of low bushes mixed with a number of brown rocks, a black shadow was flying towards Jiang Yao's location as fast as the wind.

That kind of monster, when standing up straight, is at least two meters tall.

But when they walk, they lie on their stomachs, flying close to the ground like a praying mantis.

There were bushes and rocks to hide their tracks, and their figures appeared and disappeared intermittently. Even with Jiang Yao's sharp eyesight, it would have been easy to overlook this movement if he had not been prepared in advance.

He has already become extraordinary and almost invincible in the world, but he is still like this. It would be strange for an ordinary person to be able to detect the actions of these monsters.

"After wandering around in this area for so long, I finally encountered this kind of monster again!" Jiang Yao sneered with a serious face.

His Qinggong Cao Shangfei had already been trained to perfection, and with the blessing of extreme speed special effects, even though he could not exert his true combat power due to self-sealing, the speed he displayed was still astonishingly fast.

As soon as he thought of it, a breeze blew by, and the place where he had just been was empty, and his figure was nowhere to be seen.

Several kilometers away, in the camp.

Several military vehicles came speeding all the way, drove straight into the camp, and finally stopped slowly on an open space near the center of the camp.

"Where is the monster's corpse? Hurry up and move it down first!" Zhu Mingxu, Zhao Zhengping and others had been waiting in the camp for a long time.

Upon learning that the people who had been sent out had successfully returned with the monster's corpse in their hands, the group rushed out of the military tent impatiently and rushed to the location where the trucks were parked.

Compared with ordinary soldiers, as the senior leaders of the garrison troops, they naturally know much more.

For many things, seeing is believing.

Although they were very afraid of the mantis monster that almost wiped out an entire regiment that was previously stationed here, now that it had successfully brought back a corpse, they naturally wanted to see what the monster looked like.

"Leaders, this is that kind of mantis monster!" A captain got off a car in the convoy that had just returned. He pointed at the compartment of one of the trucks and introduced it to Zhu Mingxu, Zhao Zhengping and others.

Under his guidance, the group walked near the truck.

Some people went to check nearby, and some even turned over and climbed directly onto the carriage.

"What a ferocious body! The monster's blade arms are clearly growing on its body, but no matter how hard or sharp it is, they seem to be stronger than the military dagger in my hand."

"And there's this layer of scales covering most of its body. I tried everything I could, but I couldn't break it open."

"Apart from the big hole through the heart, there are no other injuries on the body. This monster was killed by this blow!"

"Who did it? That Mr. Jiang? Where is he?"

……

The body of the mantis monster was placed in the carriage, and there was no intention of taking it down.

After all, Zhao Zhengping had reported this matter to his superiors as soon as possible.

In the eyes of those people above, the value of such a corpse of an unknown creature is simply indescribable.

Not dragging it out of the car is also to avoid bumps and collisions, which may cause some unnecessary damage.

People arranged by a mysterious department are already on their way here. Once they arrive and complete the handover, the corpse of this monster will definitely be transported away directly as soon as possible.

As for where it was transported, that was not something Zhao Zhengping and others were qualified to know.

The order he received was simply to protect the body and avoid any problems before the mysterious department arrived.

"Reporting to the commander, when we encountered the monster, before Xiao Zhang and I could react, the monster was already lying dead not far from us."

“Although I didn’t see it with my own eyes, the mantis monster must have been punched through the heart by Mr. Jiang.”

“Afterwards, black gas rose from the monster’s body and condensed into a twisted black shadow.”

"According to Mr. Jiang, that is the monster's true form."

"After sending the corpse and us out of the dangerous area, Mr. Jiang once again stepped into the area alone."

……

Zhang Qianjin and Liu Dafu naturally followed the convoy and returned to the camp together.

At this moment, seeing that Zhao Zhengping and others were full of doubts, the two looked at each other, then quickly stood up and reported in detail what had happened before.

"Mr. Jiang, this is his first time in Death Valley and he doesn't even know the way."

"He left you behind and went into that area alone, just to mess around."

"You two, too. He asked you to return to the camp first, but you really came back and didn't even bother to keep an eye on him!"

Wanting to see what the monster looked like was just out of curiosity. At this moment, everyone had already seen the monster's corpse clearly from top to bottom.

Apart from the ferocious appearance and strange body, there doesn't seem to be anything serious.

Zhao Zhengping, who had only been observing the monster near the carriage for a while, had already withdrawn his gaze from it.

He looked at Zhang Qianjin and Liu Dafu, who had just reported the situation, and snorted with displeasure.

After listening to his instruction, Zhang Qianjin and Liu Dafu looked at each other in silence.

Before leaving, Zhao Zhengping repeatedly instructed them to be meticulous and strictly follow all of Jiang Yao's orders.

Jiang Yao asked them to bring the body back to the camp. If they refused, wouldn't that be disobeying orders?

However, no matter how good their reasons were, they could only hold their temper in front of Zhao Zhengping, the highest-ranking officer stationed there, and it was impossible for them to speak directly to defend themselves.

After all, they both knew very well that the leader's authority did not allow any questioning. If they did that, it would be absolutely harmful to both of them and there would be no benefit at all.

"Forget it, Lao Zhao."

"Mr. Jiang doesn't like others telling him what to do."

"No matter how he does things, not to mention Xiao Zhang and Xiao Liu, even the big guys above can only let him do whatever he wants. There is nothing they can do about him at all."

"They have done a great job to escape unscathed and return to the camp with a monster corpse!"

Zhu Mingxu, who was watching the situation on the side, spoke up at the right time, smiling and comforting Zhang Qianjin and Liu Dafu.

In the camp, the person who knows Jiang Yao best must be Zhu Mingxu.

He went to Xiangjiang to find Jiang Yao, and then came to Death Valley. He suffered a lot on the way. As the head of the special department of the Emergency Affairs Management Office, he was still like this. Zhang Qianjin and Liu Dafu in front of him were just ordinary soldiers.

How could they interfere with what Jiang Yao wanted to do?

At this moment, Zhu Mingxu just said a few fair words, and he didn't mean anything else.

"I know that they both have made contributions."

"But as for the people below, whether they have something to do or not, we need to give them some warnings to prevent them from getting cocky."

"For this matter, give them each a second-class merit. That's enough, let's leave it at that for now!" Zhao Zhengping responded with a smile.

Just now, he still had a sullen face, but when facing Zhu Mingxu, he immediately put on a smiling face.

"Until someone from above comes to take over, Xiao Wang, you and your men will stay near the truck."

"Remember, anyone who approaches here without permission will be shot dead."

"But I have to say this first. If anything goes wrong with the body in the truck while you're guarding it, not only you, but I too will be in big trouble!"

After giving an order to the captain who had just got off the car, Zhao Zhengping greeted Zhu Mingxu and other colleagues.

The group of people, who had already seen the monster's true face and whose curiosity was mostly satisfied, chatted in low voices and walked straight towards a tent not far away that served as a temporary command center.

At the entrance of Death Valley, hundreds of meters away, in an area full of weathered rocks.

Huddled behind a large rock, Jiang Yao looked at the corpse of a mantis monster lying on the ground several dozen meters away.

After parting with Zhang Qianjin and Liu Dafu, he returned to this area alone and wandered around for several hours.

Because he was afraid of a large group of monsters besieging him alone, he was very cautious and alert to his surroundings as he wandered around.

There didn't seem to be that many of those mantis monsters.

As far as Jiang Yao could see, they all seemed to be acting alone, and there was no sign of them gathering in groups.

If I remember correctly, this was the ninth monster that died at his hands.

From what he had understood, the weaker monsters were at the initial stage of bone forging, while the stronger ones were already as powerful as warriors at the stage of internal refining.

As for the mantis monster that could rival warriors at the blood exchange level, Jiang Yao had only encountered one.

That monster, standing upright, was about two meters seventy-eight tall. In terms of strength, it was comparable to an ordinary blood transfusion, that was true, but in terms of means, its methods were relatively simple.

It was as if he was relying solely on his killing instinct to fight it. He only knew how to swing his blade arms around, back and forth, with just a few moves.

Although the monster is quite powerful, if it fights a life-and-death battle with a real blood exchange realm warrior from the alien world, the chance of it surviving is not absolutely zero, but it will definitely not be very high.

After all, given the living environment in the foreign land, people who can enter the blood exchange realm generally have many means and extremely rich fighting experience.

Monsters and the like are not uncommon in the wilderness over there, so when they encounter this mantis monster, they can naturally deal with it calmly.

Although Jiang Yao was not able to exert much strength after sealing himself, he was able to deal with the mantis monster that was at the blood exchange level easily and it didn't take him much time.

Without Zhang Qianjin and Liu Dafu around, it would naturally be much more convenient for him to do things on his own.

He did not kill the mantis monsters he killed later at once, but patiently fought with them for a while so as to have a more detailed understanding of them.

In addition to knowing that the larger the size of this mantis monster, the stronger it is, he also discovered that the monster's face is not just highly similar to a human face.

Because among the monsters that died in his hands, there was one whose body was exactly the same as the other monsters, but its face was highly similar to the wolf head.

Judging from this situation, the twisted black shadows suspected to be the monster's body are not only human, but also seem to be able to completely occupy the body of wild beasts.

Not far away, the mantis monster lying dead on the ground, the twisted black shadow hidden inside it was still there, and was not forcibly erased by Jiang Yao.

After killing it and abandoning its body on the ground, he shrank behind a rock several dozen meters away. He mainly wanted to see what would happen in the end if the twisted black shadow was not killed.

The man hid himself tightly, and with the perfect level of Breath-Concealing Technique, he restrained all his breath. At this moment, Jiang Yao had a calm expression, and his eyes were not blinking, staring directly at the monster corpse on the ground not far away.

Before, as long as he approached the mantis monsters that died in his hands, black mist would rise up within two or three minutes at most, and then turn into twisted black shadows, trying to drill into his forehead.

This kind of black shadow doesn't seem to have much difference in strength.

Regardless of whether it was a monster in the Bone Tempering Realm or a monster with the strength of the Blood Exchange Realm, the time Jiang Yao spent to completely refine the twisted black shadow hidden inside of it was slightly different, but the difference was not big.

He stared quietly ahead. Although the distance was several dozen meters, with Jiang Yao's eyesight, he could see everything over there clearly without missing a single detail.

Three minutes, five minutes... After nearly a quarter of an hour, wisps of black gas were finally seen rising from the monster's corpse.

There was no sign of the black air condensing.

After floating in the void for a while, they seemed to have finally found their direction, and they all flew towards the entrance of Death Valley a few hundred meters away.

In just one or two breaths, the black gas rising from the monster's corpse had sunk into the Death Valley, and no trace of it could be seen anymore.

"If there is no human or wild animal parasitizing, then the black energy will not condense into twisted black shadows and return to the Death Valley on its own?"

"That place is the lair of that monster, there is no doubt about it."

"But there are too many unknowns in there. Even if I am as strong as I am, it would still be a bit rash to just barge in like this."

Jiang Yao emerged from his hiding place and looked towards the entrance of Death Valley in the distance.

With a frown and after muttering a few words, he moved as fast as the wind and landed at the location of the monster's corpse several dozen meters away.

Just like before, after the black air hidden in the monster's body left, the monster's body began to show signs of decay and corruption, and it was no longer as fresh as when it had just died.

After carefully examining the corpses on the ground for a while, Jiang Yao flew all the way to the entrance of Death Valley.

"Besides being a little desolate and without any signs of life, there doesn't seem to be anything else unusual about this place."

"It's like a man-eating beast. Over the years, any living creature that steps into Death Valley will be like a meat bun throwing a dog, and there will be no return."

"As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Forget it, I won't go in for now. I'll clean up outside first and see if I can find other mantis monsters!"

With a complicated expression, Jiang Yao hesitated for a long time.

Finally, he sighed and did not step directly into the Death Valley, but turned around and left. (End of this chapter)
