Chapter 326
"What on earth is it?" Safu took a rare step back and came closer to Shuer. The strength of the monster in front of him has not yet been determined, but the visual effect alone is already full of lethality. Unless it can be killed remotely Completely crush it, otherwise no matter how powerful a person is, his strength will be weakened by more than half when facing it.

"This place is not far from the Emerald Light." Shuer couldn't see anything strange on the surface, but he was probably suppressing the desire to vomit. "You said just now that you heard the sound of cracking rocks. I doubt it. In fact, it is this thing. As for what it is, hey, how could I possibly know."

"The strength doesn't seem to be strong." Safu just slashed out with his sword, cutting off an unknown part of the opponent. You can feel the strength transmitted from the weapon. The opponent's physical strength is not high, which is comparable to low strength. The strength of the level monster is about the same, and its body can be cut off easily.The body is the basis of strength. Even a weak mage's physical strength is far greater than that of an ordinary low-level warrior. Otherwise, the body will collapse under a slight impact, and there will be no fighting ability at all.Therefore, judging strength from physical strength is a relatively common method.

"Not necessarily." However, Shuer shook his head, "Look at its wounds."

Part of the body was chopped off, but the monster was not affected. The chopped part fell to the ground, and the fleshy sprouts were still crawling wildly, making people's scalp numb.Fortunately, after squirming for a few seconds, it seemed that it had lost the support of nutrients, and the large pieces of limbs quickly rotted and turned into a puddle of yellow-brown paste. Even through the protective clothing, you can still smell the stench of the rotting process. .

Of course, what Shuer showed Sapphire was not the rotten flesh on the ground, but the body of the monster.There was no blood spurting out from the break left by the sword, but yellow-green mucus dripping continuously. The sarcoma and granulations next to the wound were twitching crazily as if they were in pain, making people really unwilling to keep their eyes there. .

However, because of this, Saff didn't notice that those sarcoma granules were not just twitching, they were squirming, entangled, and growing rapidly. With their movements, not only did the monster's wounds become smaller and smaller, but also, There were fewer and fewer missing parts, and in the blink of an eye, it had returned to its original state, with the fracture intact and even the location of the injury could not be found.

"High-speed healing?" Saff was stunned. High-speed healing is an ability that many warriors dream of. Ever since the warriors first awakened, some people have been fantasizing about such a dreamy ability.Don't worry about getting hurt and you can enjoy the battle.Unfortunately, for thousands of years, there has been no progress in research. Except for some special monsters that are born with high-speed healing capabilities, nothing about intelligent creatures has been discovered. Unexpectedly, I saw the legendary ability in this ugly and disgusting monster. "No, This is no longer high-speed healing, this is regeneration.”

Indeed, no matter how fast the healing speed is, it is impossible to regrow so many muscles in an instant. This effect can only be achieved by cutting off the tail and regenerating it like the tails of some small lizards.

"It's not regeneration, it's just that its muscles grew so fast that it looked like it was regenerating." Shuer stared at the monster warily, "I suspect that it was originally a normal creature, but suddenly its muscles grew out of control. , it becomes like this, and those sarcomas and granulations are actually formed by the crazy growth of muscles."

"why?"

"I observed the part you just cut off before it rotted and noted the shape. The same part that grew back was much larger than the original one, and the shape also changed, so I felt that it The muscles are growing in a disorderly manner."

"I'm not asking why you think that, I'm asking why it changed from a normal creature to this." Saff absolutely believed in Seul's judgment, so it was impossible to question the reason for his judgment.

"It's the same answer, I don't know either." Shuer twitched the corner of his mouth, "But I suspect that if Solan hadn't run back in time and could withstand the injury and not die, it might have turned out like this."

"Is it also an energy-type mutation?"

"Yeah, I think it's similar."

"Be careful, it's coming." There was no time to discuss, Saff suddenly blocked Xiure with his sword, and the squirming tumor on the opposite side had already begun to move.

The monster does not move very fast, and its four legs covered with sarcoma have been swollen to the point of disfigurement. It is not so much walking on its legs as it is slowly squirming forward. Behind it, the mucus drags out a long trail. trace.

If it were in the wild, such a slow speed would not pose a threat to the two of them. The two of them could easily bypass it and continue moving forward.However, they are now in a cave, and the tunnel is very narrow. With it blocking the front, it is impossible for the two of them to continue passing through.

"I'll do it." Once he enters the state, nausea and disgust are put aside. No matter how disgusting the enemy is, he cannot hesitate when it's time to fight. This is what an experienced warrior should do, "Look at it. How fast can it grow?"

"Don't touch it with your body." Xiu Er cautiously instructed, "Although I suspect that the light of destruction caused it to become like this, this is just a guess, and it cannot be ruled out that its state will be contagious. , it will be troublesome if you encounter it."

"I don't want to touch it if it's not contagious." Saff is a woman after all. She naturally hates these disgusting things. She will never touch them physically. She waves her sword from a distance and cuts the monster's flesh piece by piece.

However, the cutting was far from growing as quickly as Sapph cut with his sword. At the same time, the muscles expanded, gathered, and split, seemingly silently, but Saff was still unable to move forward even one meter.

"Attack the head, Saff." After watching for a few minutes, Shuer suddenly spoke, "I want to test its vitality." "Where is the head?" Good question, it's not that the female swordsman suddenly became stupid. , but as time goes by, the monster has completely lost the shape of a normal creature and turned into a pile of crazily squirming meat. The head?trunk?It's impossible to tell. All that exists in front of you is a slowly moving mountain of meat.

"Did you see that bump on the right rear? That's the head." Xiuer had been staring at the changing monster. By comparing the front and back images, he could naturally tell the position of the head.

"Shua", before he finished speaking, the big sword had torn the air and appeared above the monster's head. After a slight pause, it slashed down hard.

There was no sense of sluggishness in the progress of the big sword. The monster's body broke in response. The head and body were divided into two parts. The yellow-green liquid spurted out like a fountain. Sapphire had already relied on her speed to reach the target before the liquid spurted out. He had already returned to Shuer.

"It seems to have no bones at all." Safu said puzzledly, "Or did I not hit the bones?"

"It should be assimilated into the muscles." Shuer stared at the monster closely, without even moving his eyes, and replied casually, "If it still has bones, it would be impossible to perform many of its movements."

With their heads cut off, most creatures would no longer be able to survive, but the monster in front of them was an exception.It only paused for a moment, and then continued to move towards the two of them. It didn't go far, and the broken parts had been replenished.

"Sure enough." Shuer curled his lips, "This guy has completely broken away from the category of normal creatures."

"No matter how you look at it, it can't be normal."

"Then it is a typical example of anomalies. All its organs have been replaced by alienated muscles, and now it is just a moving mass of flesh."

"If you say that, I won't even dare to eat meat." Saff's expression under the mask was full of confusion, "Besides, the piece of meat on the hunter's meat stall will not come towards us on its own initiative. What on earth is it going to do? To avenge its distant cousin who was eaten?”

"That's a good question. Why don't you go ask it for me?" Shuer's eyes suddenly lit up. He pulled Saff back a distance and found a larger one among the corpses that could be seen everywhere on the ground. Relatively intact, regardless of nausea, picked it up and threw it at the monster.

It was unclear whether the meat mountain had any special tendency towards the corpse. It still maintained the same crawling speed and just ran over the corpse.However, after it passed by, Shuer and Safu glanced at each other subconsciously, and tut, the corpse on the ground had completely disappeared, without any trace of its existence.

"Assimilated? No, it's absorbed. This guy is like this, but he still doesn't forget to eat." Shuer sighed deeply. This thing is simply the trouble within trouble. He can't find the vital part, so he can't hit it no matter what. Immortal, and very attached to the body of living things, probably because the instinct of eating is taking effect, "I feel that muscles cannot be created out of thin air. Sure enough, to continue to grow and expand, in addition to the energy transported by the light of destruction, there must also be The flesh and blood supply comes from the same source, so in its unconscious consciousness, we are the meat and food.”

"Whoa", Safu swung his sword again, chopped off a corner of the rock beside him, and threw it towards the monster. The stone hit the monster's increasingly curious body surface.The monster was not interested in the rocks at all and just let the rocks roll around in front of him.After its main body was rolled over, sure enough, except for a layer of sticky liquid on the surface, the stone was not affected in any way.

"I brought the scroll of the Hand of Fire." Saff had already put her hand into her backpack, "Want to try it?"

"It's not needed for the time being, and the flame may not be effective." The monster's body is covered with mucus. Unless the mucus is flammable, or it is a powerful magic in an advanced flame scroll, even flames cannot burn the monster to death. , "Compared to flames, I think there is actually a better way."

"Ok?"

"For example, we could try to starve it to death."

"what?"
