Chapter 199 Investigation
Five hours ago, the investigators were fortunate to find some clues from the stronghold. By chance, the team leader Fordway detected some fluoride, which is a group of light blue substances wrapped in uncoagulated plasma From the "seed" in the center, there are many densely curled "hair strands" that steal the nutrients in the plasma and grow vigorously. Although this group of things is only the size of dust, it belongs to the category of biology. The chemical reaction they carry out is very mysterious. It was so complicated that even the investigation team couldn't analyze it with the tools at hand.

This unknown fluorinated life is in great need of trace elements in human blood, and they always try their best to extract them, but instead of devouring them in the body, they gather them on half of the body surface, just like a greedy little monster with a big burden behind it. Absorb those pitiful elements.Afterwards, the tiny dust-like organisms will seep into the ground, and quickly escape in one direction through the water-rich soil.

The trace elements in the coagulated blood plasma are extremely low, especially the ratio of zinc to folic acid is almost zero. Could it be that these microorganisms killed all the human beings who came here?This is a bit unbelievable. It stands to reason that people in this era, especially the nobles, have been strengthened to a certain extent, and their immunity is enough to clean up these little devils, and there are proper medical equipment in the stronghold. It is impossible for a person's illness to spread so quickly. To everyone, and from the analysis of the situation at the scene, these people were wiped out by something at the same time, leaving only blood plasma, and even the bones disappeared out of thin air. Casting a shadow, these elites are naturally the best in a certain discipline, and there are even martial monks escorting them, with strong strength, only those media reporters are always buzzing in the ears of the team members like flies , in order to obtain first-hand information.

After sharing the discovered situation with the other nine stronghold personnel, Fordway led his men on the road, and they became hunters, looking for the peculiar light blue hair ball to track down, hoping to gain something.But everyone was sure that they could find the real culprit. This operation was equipped with the most advanced equipment, and everyone in the investigation team was not easy, so they naturally became a little confident.

The mountain at the far end can be clearly seen, that is the destination. There is a micro-robot expert under Fordway. This guy is a genius from a famous university in the capital of the Federation of Light. She is really good at micro-robots. She can instantly Cover the air with [-] suspendable "dust" for defense, or silently use micro-robots to bite into each other to form everything you want. She can always conjure up miniature objects that exceed her own size. Robots, it can be said that she brings an army with her wherever she goes, and the composition of this army is micro-robots. Of course, she spent a lot of time and money to create these "soldiers". Wealthy families take on foreign debt.

"Mary, what did your robot detect?" Fordway asked impatiently. Mary had been standing there for a long time, fiddling with something in her hand, which was also made of micro-robots combined with each other to "grow "The raised object is only simple in style, in the shape of up and down Pisces, as if it is a unique metal key.

"Wait, boss, things are not that simple. My little babies have encountered terrible magnetic energy. I have to send some more little guys to respond, but this time I will send miniature crystal robots. Their manufacturing process is too complicated. It's too complicated, and it's too extravagant to be used as a scout." Mary cried out in pain, but there was a rogue look on her beautiful face.

"Come on, witch, put away your blackmailing face, the situation is special now, quickly ask your little thing to follow, or I will call Barton to go." He glanced at the corner of his eye and stood still on the left side of the line, very special The one who walks alone is Barton. The young man is very handsome, and his young face has a maturity that his peers have never had. According to Fordway, "This boy looks like a man, but he is too cold."

Every time Barton makes a move very quickly, at least with Fordway's eyesight, he can't see clearly, and the long knife that never leaves his body represents blood and cruelty. This unlovable guy is a wandering martial artist, Being picked up by the witch is regarded as a temporary worker. In the entire investigation team, only the witch is the most enthusiastic about Barton, and it can even be said to be affectionate. Except for the witch Mary, who is the team leader, Fordway and Barton often have simple exchanges. Others don't want to get close to this evil spirit .

Mary stretched out her hand helplessly, scratched her pink nails and jumped into the soil. These little things are her treasures, and she never takes them out for use, but she also knows that the temporary mission received this time is very rewarding. The main thing is that she doesn't want her beloved Barton to take risks.

Fordway's plan succeeded, and quickly organized personnel to guard and protect those reporters. Of course, most of these so-called reporters are also good players. Everyone relies on them to follow up and report in dangerous places all the year round. It is because of this, Fordway to make them follow.

Just as the group of people crossed a low mountain peak, a little blue light climbed up a cliff in the opposite high mountain, and then drew a faint trajectory and disappeared.

Barton suddenly looked into the distance, the saber in his hand trembled slightly, and thought: "How could this be?"

The surrounding mountains are undulating, filled with gunpowder smoke, a primitive regional landscape, and the poisonous swamp gas surrounds the road from time to time, which is naturally not a problem for everyone. This time, the Devil Star is fully equipped, and the shoes have jumping functions, which is conducive to long-distance tracking in dangerous environments.

Passing through the swamp, there is a low-lying vine forest at the junction of the mountain and the mountain. It was originally a forest, but it was deprived of its vitality by the miserable green vines that grew in the surrounding swamp. nausea.

Walking into the vine forest carefully, you will inevitably be "welcome" by some primitive creatures, but they all disappear in the light of the sword. When Barton put away the sword, he couldn't even see that it had moved. Divide the meat evenly, and it is a vivid biological anatomy class of the devil star.

The witch Mary sighed. She always felt that Barton's psychology was a little twisted, and he had to break it down every time he made a move. Why bother?Except for the reporters who vomited behind the line, the members of the temporary investigation team were used to it.

Finally, the cute micro-robot scouts sent a message. The fluorinated microorganisms moved forward like a fish in water in a swamp in a mountain depression, as if this was their home. After wandering for a while, they were gathered into the depths of the swamp by a force, where The magnetic field is disturbed, and the micro-robot asks for further action plans.

Mary was reluctant to lose a few micro-crystalline robots, and told them to stand by. After a while, she walked through the vine forest and found the small mountain depression that sent the message. The land is like black charcoal, with tiny holes. According to the information sent back by the crystal robot, there are tens of millions of fluorinated microorganisms active around the swamp. Thinking about the countless disgusting hair balls under their feet, most people's faces changed.

Barton floated over the swamp and asked, "Do you want to split?"

Fordway hurriedly asked everyone to disperse, perhaps the culprit of the tragedy was at the bottom of the swamp, and those fluorinated microorganisms would definitely not have the ability to cause devastating damage to the humans in the stronghold at the same time.

Seeing that everyone had reached a safe position, Barton yelled loudly: "Wanjun Daoba——Break." I saw a ball of silver light emanating from his hand, accumulating bigger and bigger, suddenly falling towards the swamp, and the surrounding wind Pressing to move the team members five or six meters away, the usual rumors about martial monks were exaggerated.

In the Federation of Light, there are organizations similar to the Temple of the Holy One, but they are just decorations. The real martial monks gather around the big merchants. Even if the government has no martial monks except for special departments, the Fordway group is temporarily hired. "mercenary".Of course, for the sake of the government's image, it was hyped up and intervened as the military. In fact, they were hired by the agency that established the tourist base at a high price. Once the investigation has a clue, if human irresistible factors are involved, the insurance company can Compensation, this incident was too sensational, and the travel agency secretly arranged for the media reporters to follow, in order to create popularity. Those nobles who seek excitement don't care whether it is dangerous or not, as long as they understand the reason, they may be able to earn greater returns.

Yi Shuihan explored on the cliff. He wanted to find the rock-eating creature, but it was a pity that it was in vain. Although the Devil Star was primitive and the area was mostly desolate, it was full of vitality. What kind of creature did he want to hunt and kill?I have no idea.When he was helpless, he vaguely felt a surge of power. It was the aura that only martial monks could sense when they made a powerful attack.
Under the trend of curiosity, Yi Shuihan flew over, wanting to see what happened.

The swamp pond was split open by the knife light, and the silver light disappeared in an instant, followed by a series of roars, and the swamp exploded again and again. From the deepest part of the swamp, something rose up, and when it came out of the swamp, there was an indiscriminate sound wave attack. Like a snail without its shell, its whole body is nearly gray and black, and there is a layer of tentacles and suckers under its body, floating on the messy swamp but it is as stable as Mount Tai, about 20 meters high.

The ear-piercing sound made everyone's eardrums beat like a drum, and most of them rolled on the ground with their heads in their arms. The sound penetrated into their brains and directly attacked them on the spiritual level. Although everyone was equipped with energy filters, it seemed that they didn't have much effect.Only those with specialties in spirit can grit their teeth and stand upright. Fortunately, Barton rescued everyone in time.

A cloud of saber light mixed with an invincible air slashed horizontally, intending to wipe out the monster, but the result was very bad. The body of this thing was smooth. Although Barton's saber was powerful and fast, it couldn't cut through the monster's skin.The monster suffered pain even after being stabbed. Although it was not cut open, the energy of the knife still penetrated into the body a little, which made it very uncomfortable, and stopped the sound wave attack.

Barton's knife stayed in the air, his eyes became fierce and bloodthirsty, Yi Shuihan sensed that there was a rising fighting spirit, and accelerated his speed. The next moment, he saw the silver horses pouring down, colliding with the 20-meter-high monster The collision, the result of the collision was very unexpected, Barton spurted a mouthful of blood and backed away, but the monster's body had already "melted" into thousands of black threads, as if the knife had split it apart, but that was not the case at all.If Heisi threw himself into everyone with spirituality, it instantly destroyed the energy defense of the equipment. For a powerful life, only an outstanding martial artist can match it.

The black silk is like a straw, and it is indestructible. Even if there are sober team members who want to escape, they are attacked by the black silk piercing out of the soil within a few steps.

People turned into puddles of blood in an instant, only Mary and Fordway escaped with good ability, but those black straws seemed to be able to extend forever, no matter how they hid, they couldn't escape the tragic fate.

These people didn't know what kind of monster they were facing. They thought they could easily find the murderer with the excellent equipment and Barton's ability. They didn't expect the destruction to come so quickly, and there was almost no chance to catch their breath.

What is dormant in the swamp is the evil life that has accumulated power for thousands of years, called "Jejue". There are always fluorinated microorganisms around Juejue, which rely on the intake of trace elements in other organisms to improve. Juejue likes to dormant in the Among the swamps and rotting biological cemeteries, and with a certain amount of wisdom, groups of small scorpion figures are often found underground, especially beside those underground rivers. They dig hard to find traces of The scallops are for the use of the mistress. The entire devil star is distributed with large-scale smelt dust, but the area is too wide and scattered and penetrates deep into the soil. These scorpions have not completely eaten the smelt in the soil for thousands of years. , each scorpion will inherit a scorpion stone from the mistress. Their almost morbid intake of trace elements in the body is to warm the scorpion stone in order to obtain greater life energy. It is not only the human stronghold that has encountered a fatal attack. Some large biological communities also suffered the fate of extinction at the same time, because the extinct mistress was giving birth to offspring, and there would be a large "feeding" operation every thousand years. It was really unfortunate when the nobles came.

Barton was tightly wrapped around the black straws, and his whole body emitted a silver protective light to resist. However, the strength of this big guy is really not small, and the toughness of the straws is beyond imagination. After cutting off a hundred or so, he has no strength to continue fighting. In crisis, no time to rescue companions.

There was a soft chirp in the air, and then Long Yin sounded sharply and charged in the sky. Barton was shocked to find a phantom of a thousand meters in the air attacking with supreme power, and he could only hear the roar of air explosion in his ears. The main body on the swamp didn't even have the ability to resist, so it was lifted into the air. It seemed to know that an extremely powerful opponent was coming, so it refused to close the straw and fluffy to meet it. Unfortunately, everything was in vain. Its body was under the tens of thousands of degrees of fire. Turned into fly ash, when a bright light in the air was projected onto the flames, the shovel in Yi Shuihan's hand floated and swallowed the light after a flash. The 20-meter-tall guy only had about half a gram of shovel in his body, which was too petty According to this ratio, at least 19 would have to be hunted, and Yi Shuihan couldn't help but feel a little dizzy when he thought of such a number.But fortunately, I finally found the target, and the swamp in the induction is also very deep, hoping to lead to the monster's lair.

Slowly falling to the edge of the swamp, looking at the surrounding ground, the puddles of blood were shocking, if he had arrived earlier, he wouldn't have watched these people die, Yi Shuihan turned around and looked at the three survivors.

Fordway limped over a little bit, his leg was injured, his ankle bone was almost melted, he looked up at a long dragon clustered in the air, it was like a god descending from a black-haired man with deep eyes and a little symbol on his forehead It looks very special, like a group of black flames that are deeply imprinted and dancing restlessly, but when you look at it again, it looks ordinary. I thought it was an illusion, but Fordway knew that his eyes had never missed it.

Mary also rushed over. This cunning cat-like woman was protected by a decent miniature robot, much better than Barton and Fordway. Being so close is also extremely frightening, everything happened too fast, and I am still in shock.

Barton fell into the swamp and managed to get out, staring at Yi Shuihan with fiery sparks in his eyes, he was so excited that he finally saw a master of martial arts, with every shot and every shot, it seemed that the sky and the earth were turbulent with his rhythm, This was exactly the level he dreamed of reaching, but it was almost impossible, as difficult as reaching the sky.

Yi Shuihan looked at the three of them with great interest. From a distance, he saw that they each had their own strengths. Fordway, who was wearing a fur cap, had another eye in the back of his head. However, he did not pursue the development route of martial arts cultivators, but transformed the muscles into nondescript ones. The only benefit of this change is to increase explosive power. It will be fierce for a certain period of time in the battle, but the cost is also huge. After a long time, it is sure that the strength will not be enough, then it is extremely dangerous. In fact, Fordway is a biochemical transformation person. Unlike martial arts monks, biochemical transformation persons use limited aptitude as a springboard to obtain strength through extreme methods. This is also a development path. It's a pity that biochemical transformation humans who become peerless powerhouses are really rare.

When Mary resists external attacks, she can always differentiate into a dense circle of light, and her running and jumping skills are so high that even Yi Shuihan is very envious. She often changes angles in the air and performs somersaults, which is very strange.

Barton followed the path of martial arts, and he already had the strength of the fourth rank. The blade of the silver long knife had a streak of black lines. Yi Shuihan trembled when he glanced at it, and it seemed that his spirituality was not weak.

While looking at each other, Yi Shuihan's waist moved violently, green light swept across, and a group of pitch-black shadows emerged, swaying towards the edge of the swamp.

Fatty finally discovered those fluorinated microorganisms. These small things are very helpful to it. They are completely cheap labor. As long as they collect enough quantities and decompose some metal elements, they can also be of great help. Moreover, the trace elements on their bodies It's also a good thing.

The dark vortex turned into a mini tornado and began to clean the swamp area. Mary watched this scene in amazement and covered her mouth with her hand, but she did not forget to help Barton. The three of them gathered together to look at Yi Shuihan. Some trembling, they don't know this kind of character, including Barton, who has lost the slightest composure. He is also a young man, but the gap with others is vastly different, and he is not on the same level at all.

The shadow tornado quickly converged on the green crystal raised by the black-haired man. Even though the three of them had extensive knowledge, they didn't know what it was. At this moment, Yi Shuihan became a mysterious incarnation again.

"Three, this place is dangerous, let's leave quickly, don't worry about monsters lurking in the swamp, so if you see the swamp, try to go around." Yi Shuihan smiled slightly to comfort the three people's traumatized nerves, waved his hand, and grunted Going down, the swamp was stirred up, and a passage was formed in a moment, and the swamp was repelled from the phantom.

He was about to jump, but he heard the person behind him shout: "Your Majesty, walk slowly, can you take me on board?"
