Jiang Yao's words fell into the ears of Zhang Qianjin and Liu Dafu.
The two people, who were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths together, finally recovered a little.
"Is this thing the legendary mantis monster?"
"Looking at its appearance, it is indeed ferocious. Just looking at it a few more times makes me feel a little frightened."
"Isn't this ghost invulnerable and walking like the wind? No matter how many ordinary people there are, it can't handle it at all?"
"Now it seems, why is it so weak? With a weapon in my hand, I feel like I can solve it."
……
The expression on his face was extremely complicated. After Zhang Qianjin and Liu Dafu glanced at Jiang Yao with a strange look on his face, their eyes finally fell on the corpse of the mantis man on the ground.
The previous matter of the entire regiment being destroyed was still kept secret.
Although Zhao Zhengping and others, as the top leaders of the new garrison, knew about this matter, most of the ordinary soldiers below did not even know the existence of the mantis monster. How could they know anything more.
Zhang Qianjin and Liu Dafu, because several teammates were killed while patrolling and exploring within one kilometer of Death Valley, they have some understanding of the mantis monster. Compared to other ordinary soldiers, Be a little stronger.
At this moment, the body of the mantis monster, which they thought was mysterious and almost unmatchable, was placed in front of them.
The red-black body was covered with a layer of carapace, which seemed to be densely covered with fine scales.
The whole corpse, which was more than two meters high, did not see any carapace covering the legs, but the monster's two legs were very thick, with exposed and ferocious veins visible to the eye. clearly visible.
Those two sharp blade-like blade arms have fine serrations on their cutting edges, and a cold light flashes on them. Just looking at them twice can make people feel a sense of heart palpitations involuntarily.
All other parts of the monster's body were intact except for a blood hole as big as a bowl on its chest, which had penetrated its carapace and penetrated its entire body.
The blood flowing out from that location was not like that of humans, but had a strange dark green color. A step or two away, both Zhang Qianjin and Liu Dafu could feel a strong stench. The breath is coming.
Needless to say, both of them were sure 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 action, they saw that when the monster was knocked down and fell to the ground, Jiang Yao, who had just disappeared from their sight, was striding away from the bushes not far away. out.
Such obvious evidence has been placed in front of them. Apart from Jiang Yao, there must be no other person who killed the monster.
Looking at each other, Zhang Qianjin and Liu Dafu couldn't hide the shock on their faces. They both gasped almost at the same time.
"When we received the order from above, we were only told to follow Mr. Jiang into the area in front of us. There was no other instruction."
"But the corpse of the mantis monster in front of us is indeed of great research value to the authorities."
"If I can bring this thing back to the camp, I will definitely get a lot of credit!"
"It's just that such a big corpse is too heavy to carry."
"How about, Mr. Jiang, let's go back to the camp with this monster's body!"
When circling the mantis monster, Liu Dafu made a circle. He looked embarrassed and sighed.
While talking, he even took out the contact tool and tried to contact the camp.
Unfortunately, there seems to be some kind of abnormality in this area now, causing the signal to be somewhat disordered, making it impossible to communicate normally with the camp.
Previously, they saw Jiang Yao dragging the monster's corpse all the way to them, seemingly quite relaxed. At this moment, Liu Dafu grabbed one of the monster's legs and gave it a try.
In his feeling, the monster corpse was heavy and heavy. Although it was not dragged immobile, it was only dragged for about one or two meters. He was already sweating profusely and panting.
With no other choice, he could only put down the monster's leg, look at Jiang Yao with a pleading look, and then tentatively spoke and suggested.
“After we came out of the camp, we had just entered the one kilometer radius of Death Valley, and we hadn’t even walked a few steps.”
"At this moment, I will definitely not go back home."
"Credit is useful to you, but it has no appeal at all to me."
"Xiao Liu, you want to take this monster corpse back to the camp. This is your own choice. I can understand it and will not stop it, but you must have such ability. You definitely can't count on me here. ”
Feeling Xiao Liu's gaze, Jiang Yao cast his gaze directly on this person.
He curled his lips, snorted slightly, and declined directly.
In the real world, he hopes that the country will be peaceful and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. This is indeed true, but he does not hope that there will be too many extraordinary factors.
After all, the ancients once said that if there were too many chivalrous people who used force to break the law, and those with extraordinary power would not only be of little benefit to the country, they might become a source of turmoil.
Those scientific madmen above, relying on the few low-level inheritances they left behind, have created a bunch of shoddy warriors, but they can also find a way to let Zhu Mingxu break through the limits of his skills and step directly into refining the internal organs. realm.
The mantis monster just now couldn't even withstand his full-strength punch, and was instantly killed by him, but only because he was too strong.
For ordinary people, as long as they are close to it, even dozens or hundreds of people may be killed by this monster in the blink of an eye.
If this corpse falls into the hands of those scientific madmen, who knows what they will be able to research.
Jiang Yao neither supported nor opposed this.
It's okay to provide them with a little help with a little effort, but naturally he doesn't have much interest in asking him to leave his own things alone and serve them exclusively.
"It would be a pity to just leave this monster corpse here and not take it back directly!"
Jiang Yao's words had already revealed his attitude.
Regarding this, Liu Dafu looked regretful, sighed and said with emotion.
"I already have a rough idea of the strength of this mantis monster."
"Now, I just want to clear this area quickly and get to the mouth of Death Valley as soon as possible."
"When that time comes, there will definitely be no shortage of monster corpses like this, and you will definitely receive the due credit!"
With no expression on his face, Jiang Yao responded casually.
While he was speaking, his eyes fell directly on his fellow countryman Zhang Qianjin.
This guy was squatting near the corpse of the mantis monster, checking something unknown.
"Brother Yao, Xiao Liu, come and take a look."
"The face of this monster looks like a human face."
"Squatting here, I have been looking at it for a long time, and I always feel that this face gives me a familiar feeling!" Zhang Qianjin suddenly exclaimed as if he had discovered something.
When his words fell into his ears, Jiang Yao frowned unconsciously.
Following Zhang Qianjin's line of sight, his eyes also fell on the monster's head.
The monster's head is about the size of an ordinary person. Compared to its very strong body, which is more than two meters tall, its head appears to be much smaller.
Except for the red-black color of its little head and the slightly protruding eyes, the overall distribution of its facial features seems to be no different from that of a normal person. The monster's face that fell into Jiang Yao's eyes had a Chinese character face, a big nose and a wide mouth, plus a pair of wind-catching ears.
Changing it to a normal skin color and retracting the protruding eyes together, Jiang Yao could already imagine the specific appearance of that face.
"This face seems to belong to my former teammate Li Dehu."
"A few days ago, in this area, people were abducted by monsters and disappeared, and Li Dehu was one of them."
"Could it be said that the monster in front of me has something to do with the existence of Li Dehu?"
……
Zhang Qianjin, who was squatting near the monster's head and had not yet gotten up, tilted his head and thought for a long time. He finally found the source of that familiar feeling.
With an exclamation, his face turned pale, and he stood up with a shudder.
He staggered back several steps, still looking in shock.
"The face of the monster is your former teammate?" Jiang Yao was stunned, and his brows were obviously wrinkled.
In Xiangjiang, when Zhu Mingxu came to the door, he seemed to have said that some experts above speculated that the mantis monster was transformed from ordinary people.
But a guess is just a guess.
Those experts have never really come into contact with that kind of mantis monster.
Without any evidence and relying solely on imagination, the guesses they made were just like people who had never ridden an electric motorcycle before formulating various rules and regulations for this kind of transportation. They would definitely be a bit unsatisfactory.
When Jiang Yao heard Zhu Mingxu talk about this before, he was also doubtful about it.
But now, Zhang Jinjin's performance at this moment made Jiang Yao immediately connect with the speculations made by the experts mentioned by Zhu Mingxu.
"Brother Yao, I can't completely guarantee that the face of the monster must be that of my former teammate Li Dehu."
"But I can be sure that the two are absolutely very similar!"
After taking several deep breaths, Zhang Qianjin looked a little calmer.
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, and then spoke, adding: "I also know the Li Dehu that Xiao Zhang mentioned, but I'm not very familiar with him. .”
"I just looked at it for a while, and the monster's face is indeed very similar to that person."
"If it really is the same face, a real person who has only been missing for a few days, how could he suddenly look like this?"
……
A hint of sadness and dejection appeared on his face, and Liu Dafu let out a long sigh.
"Whether it is true or not, we will naturally know the answer if we kill a few more mantis monsters!" The words of the two people fell into their ears, and Jiang Yao's brows couldn't help but frown more tightly.
With a soft hum in his mouth, he squatted down next to the monster's head.
He touched the monster's ears and opened its big mouth. When he lowered his gaze to the pair of raised eyes, billowing black energy suddenly began to rise crazily from the monster's body.
Jiang Yao was obviously stunned by the sudden change.
"I am immortal!"
"What a strong body, now it's mine..."
The black energy condensed instantly and turned into a twisted black shadow that was somewhat similar to a mantis.
In Jie Jie's strange laughter, it was as fast as lightning, shooting towards the position between Jiang Yao's eyebrows.
"You are a small skill, but you dare to do everything in front of me!"
"River of Blood, now!" After a brief moment of shock, Jiang Yao quickly came to his senses.
Looking at the twisted black shadow that was very close to him, he looked disdainful and sneered.
The next moment, a rolling river of blood emerged out of thin air in front of him.
This blood river exists between reality and reality. It was tempered after he cultivated the supreme blood nerve. It is a true manifestation of his martial arts will.
Facing the mantis monster, he could just use his fists and kicks.
But the twisted black shadow condensed by billowing black air in front of him seems to be condensed by spiritual will, and there is no real entity.
To deal with such an existence, it is natural to sacrifice the blood river directly, which is more secure.
"This is..." The words spoken by the black shadow were obviously a strange syllable that Jiang Yao had never been exposed to before. However, when the sound entered his ears, he could instantly understand the meaning contained in those few short syllables. meaning.
The sudden appearance of the rolling river of blood was obviously unexpected by the black shadow, causing it to panic.
However, there was only time for a exclamation, and a rolling wave of blood had already swept the twisted black shadow into the river of blood.
After a few ups and downs, the black shadow disappeared and disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
"No, something happened."
"The twisted black shadow formed by the gushing black energy on the monster seems to have a divine intelligence that can speak. What the hell is this horse rider?"
"Also, is the river of blood that suddenly appeared in front of Mr. Jiang real or illusory, and where did it come from?"
"That twisted black shadow was swept into the river of blood and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Was it being killed?"
……
Zhang Qianjin and Liu Dafu, who were only a few steps away from Jiang Yao, naturally saw clearly what had just happened.
Their faces were bloodless, and their faces were full of shock.
The two of them, who were just ordinary people, suddenly saw this unbelievable and terrifying scene in front of them. They had long been prepared to lose their lives here, but they couldn't control themselves at all.
As if out of conditioned reflex, the two stepped back for more than ten steps before using great courage to temporarily stop.
Barely suppressing the fear in his heart, Zhang Qianjin and Liu Dafu looked not far ahead again. Whether it was the rolling blood river or the twisted black shadow, it was as if they had never appeared before.
Rubbing their eyes, both of them had some doubts as to whether the scene they just saw was an hallucination caused by some mysterious factor.
After looking at each other, Zhang Qianjin and Liu Dafu nodded, mustering up their courage, they took a few tentative steps forward.
The corpse of the mantis monster on the ground is no longer as alive as before, as if it has been dead for a long time. Its ferocious body looks much withered, and there are some signs of decay.
Jiang Yao next to him had his eyes tightly closed, like a statue, still squatting next to the monster's head. (End of chapter)
