Chapter 196 Innate Combat Strength and Monsters
Pulling back the cloth of the tent, the eyes fell on the inside.

A burst of pungent stench hit the face, and there were actually two human corpses inside.

The body was in dilapidated condition, as if it had been bitten by a wild animal.

The frozen expression on the face before death was full of horror. Since it is cold winter and the temperature is extremely low, the corpse did not rot obviously.

Otherwise, Xu Gu'an might be able to smell the rancid smell from a long distance away.

Then he walked into the gathering place, and soon he found more human corpses, scattered all over the gathering place.

They seemed to have been subjected to a massacre, and the death conditions were very miserable, some even turned into a pile of shredded meat, their bodies seemed to be torn apart by life and death.

Many of the faces before death were extremely terrified, beyond fear.

Looking around, there is no one alive!
This is a place outside the desert, and this situation is like a village being slaughtered.

"It doesn't look like a beast." After observing, Xu Guan pondered in his heart.

The sand and the corners of the other tents were too clean, with no fur or other traces of ferocious beasts remaining.

Even though the death conditions of the corpses were extremely miserable, with traces of bites, etc., it was still more like man-made!
As the wind gradually died down, Xu Gu'an suddenly heard some movement, and immediately put his right hand on the handle of the knife at his waist.

Wisps of bright red qi and blood lingered at the fingertips, ready to fight at any time.

He walked towards the place where the movement came from. It was a big tent shaking slightly.

There seemed to be living things inside, and the sound of gnawing was heard from time to time.

Xu Gu'an took two steps closer, drew out the black knife and poked it out, and lifted the curtain of the big tent with the tip of the knife.

The situation inside was immediately revealed, a black creature was lying there gnawing on the corpse in the tent.

When Xu Guan saw it, it seemed to be licking the corpse's blood that hadn't dried up.

A gust of cold wind blew in, making it suddenly turn around and look at Xu Gu'an.

"What the hell?"

Xu Gu'an's eyes were fixed, and the guy in front of him had a human figure, without a single strand of hair, and his skin was black as if it had been scorched.

It is somewhat similar to the group of underworld priests in the Moon God Evil View that I have seen before.

The difference is that the underworld priest is more like a human being, while the guy in front of him is like a beast, with his hands and feet on the ground, licking the blood on the ground.

The figure is also a little shriveled, like a hairless monster.

The monster made a sharp howling sound at Xu Gu'an, and a large amount of stench came over his face, which was disgusting.

At the moment of being locked by this monster, Xu Gu'an tensed up, and there was a violent warning in his heart without warning.

He didn't know for the time being how this black-skinned monster was related to the underworld priest he had encountered before, but it was definitely not to be messed with!
He believed in his intuition, and the black knife in his hand had already ignited blood ripples.

The next moment, the entire tent was smashed by the monster, and it came straight to Xu Gu'an.

Its hands and feet exerted strength at the same time, and it swooped extremely fast.

Xu Gu'an slashed out with a sharp knife.

clang!
Accompanied by a sound, when he slashed down, he was actually blocked by the monster's black arm, as if he had hit a thick piece of iron, and it was not severed.

On the contrary, his black knife trembled and buzzed as if it had been hit hard.

"So hard?!" Xu Gu'an was startled.

It was the first time he had seen such hard bones and flesh.

With his power to strike a knife, even those fierce beasts known for their rough skin and thick flesh, it is difficult to resist his blade so hard without being injured.

This is probably stronger than Green Pin's armor
The monster screamed again, and at close range, Xu Gu'an's eardrums ached.

The next moment, the monster rushed again, and Xu Gu'an stepped on the footwork of the perfect green grade to avoid it in time.

At the same time, he did not hesitate to activate the curse seal on his heart again, and his whole body was immediately shrouded in a faint red light.

The stored power was released and emerged unreservedly, like a volcanic eruption.

Xu Gu'an took advantage of the situation and then cut out the blue-pin saber technique, the saber's light was like fire, and it came in an instant.

"Death to me!"

Xu Gu'an burst out with extreme strength, even if standing in front of him was a person who practiced Dzogchen, he still had the confidence to kill him!

When the black knife cut the monster's back, there was a strange crisp sound.

The black knife still failed to cut through the monster's spine, but this time it broke through the dark skin, and the blade was firmly stuck between the spine, making it impossible to move forward or retreat.

As a result, the monster's cry became more shrill and ferocious, and Xu Gu'an couldn't pull out the black knife while struggling, and rushed out.

It watched Xu Gu'an vigilantly, maybe even it didn't expect that Xu Gu'an could hurt itself.

Xu Gu'an took time to take a breath, and looked at the monster carefully.

Suddenly, I realized that the monster looked like a human, but it also looked like the moon god enshrined in the evil temple back then.

The nose is as long as an eagle hook, and the ears are also pointed and long. It looks treacherous, very much like the image of the devil.

The limbs are long, and the claws on the hands and feet look extremely sharp, which is completely different from humans.

With such a coincidence, it is difficult for Xu Gu'an not to associate this monster with the evil view of the moon god.

Just when Xu Gu'an was on guard against the opponent's attack again, another mutation occurred on the monster's body.

Its dark skin was torn apart, revealing a new layer of bright red skin.

This layer of skin is extraordinarily thick, like an unbreakable stratum corneum, with blood mixed with some mucus on the surface, which looks extremely permeable.

Facing this suddenly mutated monster, Xu Gu'an only felt that the skin all over his body was tight, and his hair suddenly rose.

The situation is not right!

Crazy warning in his heart, this guy is not what he can handle now!

Without further hesitation, Xu Guan made a thought and used a physical card in his inventory.

On the other side, the monster with changed skin color pounced on him again.

This time, its speed was even faster, and the layers of air obstruction seemed to be crushed by it, producing a little sonic boom!

Even though Xu Gu'an has perfect green footwork, it is extremely difficult to match the speed of this monster at the moment.

Fortunately, at the very moment, in front of Xu Gu'an, there was a figure with a strong aura out of thin air.

It was Li Yuan who had just been summoned with a cash card!

Li Yuan took a step forward, shouted loudly, and then slashed down, colliding with that monster!

clang!
Li Yuan's body was shaken back a few steps.

But the monster shook his head, he didn't get any injuries from Li Yuan's knife.

This layer of red skin is actually harder than the previous black skin!
One must know that the current Li Yuan is a natural master!
Failure to kill the opponent with a single blow is enough to show the strength of this monster.

Xu Gu'an's sense of crisis is not wrong, this monster is no longer what he can handle now.

Li Yuan seemed a little surprised that the monster was so tough, so he used both hands to hold the knife.

Taking a deep breath and exhaling again, two hot streams of air flowed out along his nostrils.

When the monster rushed towards him, he suddenly slashed again.

hum!
There was a series of trembling and crisp sounds in the air. Xu Gu'an didn't see the knife clearly, but it was amazing enough.

Xu Gu'an's knives skills allowed him to clearly feel how strong the knives are attached to Li Yuan's knives.

He knew that this was Li Yuan's blue-pin ten-yang sky-falling saber technique.

Previously, Li Yuan could barely use this set of saber techniques in the blood refining stage, but after all, he was limited by his cultivation and could not display its true power.

It wasn't until now that he stepped into the Xiantian realm that this set of blue-pin saber techniques became more and more incomparably powerful in his hands.

The same is true for Xu Gu'an's Lan Pin Feng Yu Tian Luo knife technique, his cultivation base limits the power of the knife technique itself.

After breaking through to the blood refinement level, using this saber technique again, the power is obviously greatly enhanced.

This knife slashed at the monster's neck, unlike Xu Gu'an's black knife stuck, Li Yuan used all his strength, this knife directly cut off the monster's head.

"Hey!" Xu Gu'an observed the character of Li Yuan's knife up close in reality, and this was the first time he felt the power of a congenital master.

"Sure enough, the most suitable for the blue-pin saber technique is a congenital master," Xu Gu'an sighed.

His eyes fell on the knife in Li Yuan's hand, the blade was actually glowing golden yellow, as if it had been burned in a furnace for a long time and taken out.

Xu Gu'an could feel the strong ultra-high temperature on it, which was caused by Li Yuan's blue-pin knife technique.

If it weren't for the high temperature on the blade, it would have been difficult to cut off the monster's head so cleanly.

Of course, it was still in the period of blood refinement before, and it was difficult for Li Yuan to evolve at such a high temperature when performing it.

It was only after breaking through to the Innate Realm that the high-temperature characteristics of this set of blue sword techniques were released.

The Ten Yangtian Falling Saber Technique itself is a powerful sword technique of the fire attribute.

Practice to the extreme and turn into a fire knife, which is extremely powerful!
Of course, that may also need to match a higher level of cultivation.

Xu Gu'an frowned as he looked at the corpse of the monster that was no longer moving after the corpse was separated on the ground.

He didn't understand how this guy, who looked like a human but not a human, and who looked like a beast but not a beast, was born.

He felt more and more that this world was weird, especially the cultivation world, which was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

conjuration, cult, monster
Some details, the exposed scales and half claws, are beyond Xu Gu'an's cognition.

Or maybe it's just that his pure strength is too weak, and he still can't get in touch with the real secrets behind those weirdnesses.

Xu Gu'an held the black knife still embedded in the monster's body and tried to pull it out.

However, even after death, the reddened monster's body was still very solid, and Xu Gu An was stunned to be unable to pull out his black knife from the body.

"You come." Reluctantly, Xu Guan coughed lightly, directing Li Yuan who hadn't disappeared yet.

Li Yuan understood, stepped forward and held the handle of the knife with one hand, stepped on the corpse with one foot, and exerted force suddenly.

Clang!
The black knife was drawn from the monster's corpse, and even chopped off half of the monster's corpse.

"Huh?" Xu Gu'an suddenly saw a small leather pouch at the ruptured opening of the monster's abdomen, which seemed to have just flowed out of the severed stomach pouch.

The pouch seemed to be stuffed into the stomach of a monster. If Li Yuan hadn't just chopped up the abdomen of the corpse, he wouldn't have found it.

"Who is so perverted that Jiangdong XZ is here? Or was he eaten by a monster indiscriminately?" Xu Guan murmured.

Li Yuan has followed his instructions to pick up the pouch from a pile of mucus and minced meat.

Xu Gu'an took out his water bag, poured out some clean water, and washed away the dirt on the bag.

The pouch is probably only half the size of a fist. I don't know what kind of leather it is made of, but it looks very strong.

It can still be intact under the acid corrosion in the monster's body, which can be seen.

Ask Li Yuan to open the pouch and pour out the contents inside.

Xu Gu'an looked at it, and what poured out of the bag was a small piece of plain white stone in a triangular shape.

Looking closely, it seems that there are some textures engraved on it. It is not difficult to judge that this is a man-made product rather than a naturally occurring stone.

"What is this?" Seeing that there was nothing wrong with Li Yuan's grasping, Xu Guan took the stone flake and looked at it.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like an ordinary stone, except that there are a few traces carved on the surface.

If he saw it from other channels, Xu Gu'an would definitely not pay too much attention to this piece of stone.

But now, this piece of stone was taken out of the monster's body, and it was even carefully wrapped and protected by a pouch.

Under such circumstances, the stone flakes themselves are so common that it is difficult for Xu Gu'an to ignore them.

Not seeing any clues, Xu Gu'an simply put the stone flakes in his pocket first, and talk about it later.

Then, Xu Gu'an took Li Yuan to inspect the small gathering place, and found no trace of other monsters, and no survivors, only piles of corpses.

After 10 minutes, Li Yuan disappeared from reality and returned to his seat in the faction in the game.

Xu Gu'an set a big fire and burned all the corpses of this gathering place, which can be regarded as cremation for this group of people.

Afterwards, Xu Guan rode away quickly on the sand beast.

Today is destined to still have to camp out, there is no place to stay.

And on the third day after Xu Gu'an left, several people in Taoist robes appeared here.

If Xu Gu An in these Taoist robes were present, they must be very familiar.

Isn't this the evil Taoist priest of the evil view of the moon god?

When a few Taoist priests arrived, the place had already been burned clean, and all that remained were a little charcoal and other traces.

The Taoist priests stepped into it, not caring about the other remnants, and soon they gathered on the corpse of the monster that had been burned out of shape.

The expressions on the faces of these white Taoist priests changed, they twitched slightly, seemed to be angry, and seemed to be stunned, a little distorted, and looked extremely unnatural.

"The slate was taken away."

"Could it be that the followers of the Vulcan Cult took the lead?! Presumably those people started the fire!"

"What to do, just go back and die."

"Investigate, Luna needs a slate, and there is no room for loss."

"The corpse of this blood eater is also taken away."

"."

A few days later, Xu Gu'an encountered a desert caravan when he was about to leave the range of information provided by the safari.

Ask if you can go with me, and express your willingness to pay money, and the other party readily accepts.

With this desert caravan leading the way, Xu Gu'an became much more at ease.

Even if he was out of the scope of the previous intelligence, he would not stray into the territory of the ferocious beasts to deal with too many ferocious beasts and the danger of the desert.

The caravan has a map in hand and has a familiar trade route to follow.
