to blame

"They're actually not dead." Qingqiu put his head close to Ming Xia's neckline, and muttered softly, "The only loss is a humanoid body. They fled back into the water, and when they meet new targets, they parasitize themselves into new bodies. Then...he came back to life. This is how Zhuan Xu was back then."

Ming Xia felt disgusted when he heard it, "No wonder the side of them that touches the ground looks so human."

"That's right." Qingqiu was not affected by Ming Xia's reaction, it simply lamented the strange habits of the new species, "Because it was originally a human body, probably the original bones, muscles, etc. It was all eaten up by them, leaving only a piece of skin. They parasitized in it, stretched it back and forth, and stretched the human skin out of shape.”

Ming Xia patted it on the head, "Stop talking about it, I'm going to throw up."

Qingqiu looked up at his face, and thoughtfully shut up.

Nan Jiang led them to the place where Lin Su and others retreated.

At such a distance, the fishwife would be a little bit reluctant to stay by the river and attack with tentacles.If they want to shorten the distance between them and their prey, they will stay away from the river, which is not conducive to them getting water from the river.

Now even Ming Xia can see that this kind of magical ability to manipulate river water will also consume their own ability when they are displayed.

In Qingqiu's words, that's called demon power.

Therefore, the longer this war drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for them.

Probably because they found that this group of prey was about to run out of their attack range, the fishwives became a little anxious. They let out long and short howls, and then, as if they had reached an agreement on a certain issue, some of them moved towards The prey speeded up to catch up in the direction of retreat, and some stood up directly, threw off their two human-like legs, and ran straight away.

This was unexpected in Ming Xia.What surprised him especially was that they knew that they were more likely to be attacked when they stood up, and their speed would slow down. Why did they choose such a way of advancing?

Qingqiu screamed, "The demonic power in its body fluctuates violently...it's about to explode!"

Ming Xia backhanded an arrow, aiming at the upright fishwife who was closest to Bai Ying and Nan Jiang.

It stood up suddenly when it crawled close. Ming Xia saw some places on its body swelled up, and some places were deflated, and it gave him an indescribably creepy feeling.

The long arrow pierced the fishwife's temple with great force, and it staggered back two steps with its body before falling to the ground.Its body is like a plastic bag filled with liquid. After two bumps, it exploded with a bang, and countless dark red fragments splashed up. walking back and forth.

They seem to have sensed the breath of the river not far away, and they swayed between the river and the prey for a while, then turned around and ran towards the river together.

This time they were closer, and Ming Xia could see their appearance clearly: two inches long, shaped like a shrunken crocodile, with a pair of short and strong chelicerae growing out of the two front paws.The eyes were in front, a pair of bulging, cold and tyrannical predator's eyes.

Ming Xia felt that they still had a certain IQ.

They made a comparison between the prey and the river water, which may be based on distance or combat effectiveness.Then they unanimously chose the direction of the river.Obviously, when faced with unsure prey, they rationally chose to return to their lair to draw strength.

Ming Xia thought, if they were closer to their prey, much closer than the river, how would they choose?

The wounded fishwife howled, but this did not dissuade the gang from attacking.On the contrary, after they clearly saw the disadvantages of individual combat, they began to get together consciously.

The monsters walked more cautiously.

Being stared at by such a group of enemies, Nan Jiang and others naturally couldn't turn around and run away.

During the strange confrontation, someone suddenly shouted, "Lie down!"

Before Ming Xia realized who was shouting, Nan Jiang next to him grabbed his shoulders and fell straight to the ground.

In a hurry, Ming Xia only had time to twist his body and try to land on one shoulder——Qingqiu was still hanging on his chest. You must be reincarnated by him.

In this way, Qingqiu was still crushed.

With a squawk, it crawled out along Ming Xia's neckline in a panic, but it didn't dare to poke its head, and cautiously huddled under Ming Xia's chin and looked out.

Ming Xia landed on one arm, making herself dizzy from the fall, but when she felt the little furry body rubbing against her chin, she knew that Qingqiu was fine.

Qingqiu just said, "What is this... ouch, I'll go, is it useful or not..."

Ming Xia wanted to raise his head but was held down by Nan Jiang's big hand, so he could only lie still on his stomach.

He could feel something rushing out from above their bodies, scorching hot with whistling air.Then he heard a strange creaking sound not far away, the sound was hurried, and there was a sense of panic.

Ming Xia pressed Nan Jiang's big hand upwards, "Can't you get up?"

Nan Jiang didn't seem to want to let him go, but after hesitating for a while, he still raised his hand.His movements were a bit slow, and in the end he stayed near his cheek for a while before withdrawing it reluctantly.

Ming Xia Wangtian rolled his eyes, thinking that the movements were slow... Those who knew would think that Captain Nan cared about the team members and were afraid that the team members would be in danger if they act recklessly, and those who didn't know would think that he wanted to eat the team members' tofu on purpose.

Ming Xia observed Bai Ying's movements, followed his example, turned his head carefully, and observed the battlefield behind him, then quickly got up from the ground and followed Nanjiang all the way to the direction of the gap in the rock.

Behind them, a strange fire almost ignited the entire river beach. The green and red flames rose half a sky high. The monsters walking behind seemed to be very afraid of the flames, and hurriedly turned around and crawled into the river. , but the monster trapped in the flames seems to have been given a hold spell, no matter how hard it struggles, it can't break free from the flames.

Ming Xia couldn't help looking back while running, he found that several monsters seemed to be unbearable to endure the torment of the flames, and they exploded on their own. Leaving bugs all over the ground crawling around without thinking.

"Can't they escape?" Ming Xia was surprised, "Can't they escape even if they become bugs?"

Nan Jiang pushed behind him, signaling him to speed up, "The principle of this incendiary bomb is the same as the coating of your arrowhead, and they are both developed for the unique energy fluctuations of monsters."

Ming Xia thought to himself, the energy fluctuations of monsters... what is it?

"Will they be burned?"

"Not sure." Nanjiang looked hesitantly, "This is something that needs to be tested in this mission. Later, we can observe remotely and see the results."

Ming Xia ran out of breath, full of questions, and couldn't help but want to know the answer, "This is the weapon I expected to attack in groups: it can attack in groups, and it's specifically aimed at monsters...why did snakes swarm that day? When you don't use it?"

His cheeks were flushed and his eyes were shining. He didn't look nervous, but excited.Nan Jiang looked at him, then at Qingqiu, who was lying on his neckline, with the same bright eyes, and suddenly felt that the two seemed to be somewhat alike.

"It was in the yard of the supply station that day. It was too close to be used." Nanjiang patiently explained, "And those snakes are not real biological entities, but more of an illusion."

Ming Xia nodded to show that she understood.

Qingqiu still opened his mouth wide and looked at the fire behind him with a look of horror.After the bliss of being alive and the initial excitement had worn off, it was beginning to feel scared.

After hundreds of years, the human world has indeed become incomprehensible to him.And now there is a magic weapon that ordinary humans can use... and it is such a powerful magic weapon...

As a monster, Qingqiu is full of sense of crisis.

It couldn't help but burrowed into Ming Xia's neck, thought for a while, and burrowed in again.

"What's the matter?" Ming Xia felt very relaxed when he saw that the enemies were all trapped.He stretched out his hand to touch Qingqiu, and comforted it, saying, "They can't catch up. Don't worry, we're safe."

Qingqiu rubbed against him, with indescribable frustration in his voice, "I'm not afraid. I just think... a demon life is really... very difficult..."

It was Li Youran who dropped the incendiary bomb. She stood on a slope a little further away with a fierce look on her face, and she carried something like a cannon barrel on her shoulder.

Ming Xia gave her a thumbs up, "Sister Li is mighty!"

Li Youran smiled triumphantly, "What is this? I'll show you the fun of shooting someday, and see how my sister is going around in the 'sixth group'."

Qing Qiuwo snorted under Ming Xia's neck, "Still shaking. My Xiao Xia is just saying polite words, don't take it seriously."

Ming Xia, "..."

Li Youran, "..."

Ming Xia poked at its chubby belly, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm really praising Sister Li."

"What's there to praise?" Qingqiu rolled his eyes, "Hua Mulan knows how to make mirror appliqués when she comes home, and she also knows how to weave cloth. She just knows how to slump on a chair and watch TV and drink a little wine. She is always barefoot... Do you think she looks like a girl?"

As soon as it got to the "sixth group", it had a fight with Li Youran. Although no one suffered, it developed the habit of spraying each other when it met.Especially when he heard others talking about Li Youran, he always jumped out to make up for her.

Li Youran didn't bother to pay attention to it, and turned to Nanjiang and said, "Captain, how do we go next?"

During their previous meeting, they agreed on a route along the Xixin River all the way north, but now that they have fought with the fishwife, they can no longer take the route next to the river.

Although it is said that fishwives cannot leave the river too far, and their attack power is limited, but Xixin River is full of such things, there are many of them, and they are extremely vengeful.In case there are not very open areas in front of them, if they are blocked by them, it will be very troublesome to start.

Ming Xia's heart skipped a beat.He remembered that Nanjiang said that there were three ways for them to reach their destination, and the "Nine Mu Umeda" had been excluded, and now the road along the river could not be used, and the only way left was to go into the mountains.

And the leather face mountain seems to be the most unpredictable road.
