I Cultivate Immortality With Scientific Thinking

Chapter 229 The Disappearing Mortal

Since Azure Cloud Sect tightened its defenses and Black Tortoise City, which was at the forefront, was breached, nearly half of Azure Cloud Sect fell into the hands of demon cultivators.

The geographical location of the Great Qian Dynasty is at the junction of the two sects, behind the high mountain snowfields, so when Lin Chen returns to Azure Cloud Sect, he will inevitably pass by the place controlled by the Xuanyin Sect Demonic Cultivator.

That is the so-called enemy-occupied area.

Of course, even if he entered enemy-occupied territory, Lin Chen was not too panicked.

After all, with his current strength and means, even if the higher-ups of the Demon Cultivator and several Gold Core Perfected Beings come to him, he can still escape safely with the Instant Thousand Miles Talisman without risking his life at all.

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

He was sneaking among them, and as long as he didn't take the initiative to expose himself, the magic cultivator trying to find his location was almost like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Overall, Lin Chen's safety is guaranteed.

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

So, he chose to come to a fairy city under Azure Cloud Sect that was closest to his location, but to his surprise...

"Have all the mortals in the city been moved away?"

In a forest outside a large city, Lin Chen leaned against a tree with his hands and used his means to explore the situation, his eyes moving involuntarily.

If he remembered correctly, this should be a large city with a population of one million under the command of Azure Cloud Sect. However, he used various means to explore the situation and found that there was no breath of living people in the entire city!

There were no monks, so it was manageable, but there was no mortal, which was beyond Lin Chen's expectation.

"What's going on?" Lin Chen hesitated for a moment, then jumped directly towards the city, "Forget it, let's go in and have a look."

Anyway, on the surface, he is just a flesh and blood clone, and the real 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 of Qi Refining Stage.

After all, even if Lin Chen mastered the flesh and blood cloning technology, the resources consumed by the clones in the same realm would not be small, so there was no need to waste them in exploring the path.

As for the avatar in the Gold Core stage, Lin Chen still has no idea.

After all, the Gold Core monk is no longer a body of flesh and blood, but a body of spiritual energy. The nature of the two has changed, and he doesn't know how to create it for a while.

Lin Chen directly used the Qingfeng Technique. With his feet surrounded by the breeze, he stepped a few meters away and entered the city in a short while.

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

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

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

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

Because he not only found the traces left by the monks after the battle, but also found dark red blood splattered everywhere that had dried for a long time.

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

Lin Chen just stood on the ruins, looking at the bloody sunset on the horizon, his expression slowly becoming serious.

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

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

Lin Chen would understand if a village or a small town was completely wiped out and deserted after a war.

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

Judging from the traces on the scene, there should be no Gold Core monks participating in the battle, but the battle of the Foundation Building Stage monks, who are the strongest, can wipe out nearly a million people?

Although it is not impossible to massacre afterwards, why would it be done?

Although most demonic cultivators use mortals as training materials, there is a limit to this. If they catch all the people and kill them all, who will provide them with fresh blood in the future?

And even if they are all killed, the question is, where are the bodies?

The death energy, resentment, yin energy, etc. generated by the death of nearly one million people, coupled with the spiritual veins in the ground, are enough to give birth to a ghost general comparable to the Foundation Building Late Stage.

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

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

Lin Chen was thinking as he ran to the other side of the city, 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 directly into the shadows between the ruins.

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

No! To be precise, those were not black spots, but pale heads!

They are like balloons that have been released, floating directly in the air!

"This is... a human head balloon?!" Lin Chen's expression condensed.

Lin Chen had nothing to fear from mere dead heads, but the problem was, this number was 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 human-head balloons. At a rough count, there were at least nearly a thousand of them!

"This dead head floated from the east. If I remember correctly, the east should be the next city closer to Azure Cloud Sect..." Lin Chen looked at the strange scene in the sky thoughtfully.

Judging from this direction, it is the traffic artery leading to Azure Cloud Sect, so these dead heads should be something similar to monitors, monitoring the traffic artery in the area occupied by the Xuanyin Sect Demonic Cultivator!

"Could it be that all these disappeared mortals were used to create dead heads to monitor this area?"

With Lin Chen's method, one can naturally discern the principles behind the creation of these dead heads.

It is nothing more than confining the soul of a mortal into the skull, loading the corresponding spirit stone, and using the Cursed Law Manifestation to monitor this vast area.

But this is only a temporary method, because the human head will rot and the spiritual energy of the spiritual stone will be exhausted. Just like in front of you, human heads are constantly falling from the sky and smashed into a pool of minced flesh.

But the advantage is that it is simple and cheap to make, so the magic cultivator directly uses it as a common surveillance method.

"Fortunately, it's just a dead head that has been refined by a demon cultivator. Otherwise, if it were the kind of weird magic weapons like [Flying Head Drop] and [Soul-Destroying Head] that were specially refined by demon cultivators, there would be thousands of them added up. I'm afraid it will also cause a lot of trouble to me." Even Lin Chen couldn't help but look a little cautious.

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

After all, not everyone can master Earth Escape Technique, invisibility and other methods, and even if they do, they won't be able to travel for a long time, and they will easily be exposed to the surveillance of people.

Therefore, these human head balloons are used to monitor the whereabouts of ordinary monks or armies of monks on a large scale.

"But it should be noted that the head cannot be damaged, otherwise it will be easy for the demon cultivator to detect something wrong."

Lin Chen's eyes moved and he took a step forward. The light and shadow around him changed, and he became invisible in the air.

Soon, he rushed towards the direction where the dead head floated, that is, towards Azure Cloud Sect.

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

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

Even in the five cities we passed through for seven days and seven nights, there was not a single person there, as if everyone had completely disappeared!

"What exactly is going on?! Are those demonic cultivators really so crazy?!"

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.

Based on the phenomena in these cities, he could already tell that these cities, with a population of close to tens of millions, were all forcibly moved to the direction of Azure Cloud Sect by demon cultivators after experiencing city defense battles.

Bringing mortals to the battlefield was done by demonic cultivators. Lin Chen could tell what they wanted to do if he thought about it!

But what puzzles Lin Chen is that monks are not allowed to kill mortals. This is the unspoken rule of the Immortal Cultivation World.

This has nothing to do with Dao or Dao Xin, but only enough mortals can continuously replenish a force.

But they dare to do this, are they crazy?

"Is it because he is not a mortal under his command, so he doesn't care about consumption?" Lin Chen seemed to have thought of something and frowned deeply.

"But if that's the case, can Azure Cloud Sect really be able to stop the tens of millions of corpses?"

boom!

Just when Lin Chen was thinking about the situation of the battle, there was a sudden explosion in the distant jungle, and then the birds in the forest were startled!

"Huh? Is there anyone over there?"

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