Steel Chang'an

Chapter 110

"Not a human corpse."

Li Jing said.He held a shriveled arm in his hand, and raised the piece of human skin in front of him. Only half of the skin was left, and the shriveled breasts hung on his chest like two empty rice bags. The hair was still glued to the scalp, but traces of the fibrous circuit could still be seen on the inside of the torn limb.

"It's You Ming Ji."

Zheng Quan picked up a complete piece of human skin with his sword, and the same shriveled fish tail was connected to the bottom of the human skin.He shook the tip of the sword, threw the human skin aside, stepped on the water and floated up, "The skin below is the slough of Ji You Ming."

"It's not skin shedding," Li Jing let go of his hand, and looked at the half of human skin floating in the water thoughtfully, "These should be You Ming Ji who had exhausted their energy. wreckage that came down."

He sighed, "I thought that Teng Wengong sent the scavengers into the water just to find the way, but I was wrong."

Mu Yun encountered the iron spider of the King's Legion in the dead castle.The energy in the mechanical organisms that lost the command of the Immortal King is not endless, they are just in a dormant state for most of the time after the Millennium War, consuming negligible energy, and will only activate their actions when someone enters their attack range .

But in fact, the ancient battlefields of the Millennium War were buried deep underground, and few people could find and enter them. The frequency of these mechanical creatures being awakened was very low, so the energy in their bodies was not exhausted. After the last batch of people left , can also hibernate and sleep, and continue to attack the next batch of people who enter the ruins.It was also because of this that when Mu Yun and his party entered the Fortress of Death, they encountered so many iron spiders that were still able to move.

But if people keep entering the ruins, even if they are scavengers without combat effectiveness, they will not be able to kill the mechanical creatures at all, but as long as the mechanical creatures are kept active, the energy in their bodies will eventually be exhausted that day.

Looking at the countless shriveled remains of You Ming Ji floating in the abyss, Mu Yun finally understood why there were only a few You Ming Ji in such a long and vast dark river.

He also finally understood why the yin-yang trees here grow so strong.

What flows in this dark river is the crystal liquid of mechanical creatures!
Mu Yun clenched his fists involuntarily.

"I don't know how many scavenger lives will be exchanged for exhausting so much You Ming Ji's energy?" Zheng Quan shook his head, "Teng Wengong is indeed a generation of heroes, in order to reduce the number of remaining mechanical creatures in Yin Ruins, he actually wanted to Having come up with such a method, he was able to make such a big deal. Zheng used to kill people like hemp, and even his old colleagues would not miss it. He thinks his heart is as hard as a stone, and this time he can only bow down!"

"What did you say?" Mu Yun raised his head suddenly, staring at Zheng Quan and asked.

"Why? Are you really interested in Zheng's past?" Zheng Quan asked with a smile, "Although Zheng is not the best knight in the world, when it comes to the speed and efficiency of killing, he is more particular than your master." too much!"

Who is interested in your past!Don't be too sentimental, okay?Mu Yun groaned in her heart, "What did you say before you boasted about killing people in the past?"

"I don't know how many scavenger's lives I have to exchange for exhausting so much You Ming Ji's energy?" Zheng Quan asked, but he was quite dissatisfied in his heart—isn't it true that he killed people like hemp, how could he be called boasting?Could it be because his face looks too harmless to humans and animals, which created some illusion for this kid, thinking that he is a good person?

"That's right!" Mu Yun said, "With the killing efficiency of You Ming Ji, if you want to use up the energy of a You Ming Ji, I'm afraid you have to sacrifice a hundred scavengers! So when we see the wreckage of a You Ming Ji, it means There should be a hundred corpses of scavengers!"

"But we have never seen any human corpses." Li Jing pondered, "This is indeed a bit weird. It stands to reason that Teng Wengong should not be so kind. He would specially help those scavengers collect the corpses."

"What's more, even if Teng Wengong suddenly had an outburst of kindness and wanted to help the scavenger who sacrificed for him collect a corpse, burn incense and chant scriptures, he can't clean up the corpses in this dark river, right?" Zheng Quan turned Eyeballs said, "You Ming Ji is not as quick to kill as Zheng, with their eating habits, it is inevitable that they will gnaw off a few arms and thighs, but we have come all the way here, but we haven't even seen a finger !"

Mu Yun thought of the diving suit that he mistook for a corpse when he first got into the water. For some reason, he thought of those strange empty knight armors that were abandoned in the cockpit in the dead castle.

Looking back at this moment, Mu Yun realized that he was also a dead person in the dead castle!

The ruins of the ancient battlefield should obviously be the place with the most dead people, but whether it is a thousand-year-old corpse or a fresh carrion, among the remains of two thousand-year wars in succession, he has not even seen a single human corpse!
Were those bodies destroyed?What is the purpose?
To destroy so many corpses without leaving any traces, is this really humanly possible?

Looking at the shriveled limbs in the pool below, Mu Yun frowned, "Are you sure these are all the remains of You Ming Ji, and there isn't even a single human corpse inside?"

"Why don't you dive down and see for yourself?" Zheng Quan said angrily.Although the appearance of this Youming Ji is beautifully designed, after the energy in the body is exhausted and the mechanical biological crystal liquid has run out, there is only a shriveled bionic human skin, which looks no different from a mummy, still very ugly and weird, What's more, there are so many half-human, half-fish mummies floating in the water, Zheng Quan feels that there is nothing in his stomach to vomit up to now, so let him dive down again and go to the pile of mummies. After rummaging through it, he really wanted to spit out the bile.

Mu Yun shook his head. Even though he really wanted to know the answer, but with his water skills, if he just dived like this, he might be trapped in the pile of half-man, half-fish mummified corpses and be unable to come up. Zheng Quan came down and fished himself up, so he wouldn't bother himself with such embarrassing troubles.

For some reason, the mummy pile in the deep pool always gave him a very dangerous feeling.

"Hehe, if you continue to consume here, you will see three corpses when our oxygen runs out." Li Jing patted Mu Yun's shoulder, "Let's leave here first!"

You can leave this dark river by passing through the water curtain in front of you.

However, Teng Wengong's team is likely to be ambushing behind that water curtain.

Zheng Quan drew out his sword and swam towards the water curtain with a light posture.

Mu Yun watched his back disappear quietly behind the water curtain, and after a while, he heard Zheng Quan's voice: "Your master missed this time, there is no ambush, come out!"

Mu Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and activated the armor leg thrusters to swim forward.

But at the moment he passed through the water curtain, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the mummy pile in the deep pool that seemed to be moving!
