According to what Tang Xiaowu said before, no one knows the true identity of these monsters that devour human flesh and blood.Is it just one person or a group of people?Is it a plant or an animal?

No one knows.

The only thing I know is that this thing only appears in the dark, and as long as the amulet is hung in the room, it will not attack the people living in the room.

Other than that, nothing is known.

But when he and Tang Xiaowu walked out of the door at this moment, they had to face this kind of monster.

Lu An couldn't help but take a deep breath and forced himself to calm down quickly.

If you leave the wooden house now, you will face attacks from strange insects and possible monsters.

And if you don't leave the wooden house, the result will actually be the same. You will still have to face the attacks of strange insects and monsters. The only difference between the two is that leaving the wooden house on your own initiative will at least guarantee you a certain amount of protection. a safe distance.

That is to say, more fault tolerance is added.

Tang Xiaowu's calm and cold voice came from behind.

"five……"

"Four……"

"three……"

"two……"

Just as Lu An was waiting for Tang Xiaowu to input the last number, Tang Xiaowu's voice suddenly stopped.When Lu An was about to turn back, he suddenly noticed the strange insects through the window. Although they were very close, another black figure seemed to appear behind them.

As soon as this black figure appeared, all the strange insects suddenly ran around like they were in a panic.Even according to their original position and direction, they should have smashed the wooden house where Lu An and the others were into pieces.However, at this moment, under the impact of this black figure, the strange insects fled in all directions, as if they had no direction of action in the first place.

But these strange insects, which usually regard humans as food, actually fled in such a hurry at this moment.Lu An couldn't help but feel a subtle feeling in his heart.This feeling is very strange, but I have to say that it really makes Lu An feel good.

Lu An and Tang Xiaowu were both looking at the black figure attentively at this moment, trying to see clearly what he was. However, because the sky was too dark and the window itself was carved out of crystal, although it felt like It is very expensive, but in terms of the degree of tilt, it is definitely not as good as the ultra-clear glass made by real industry.Therefore, Lu An couldn't see the true appearance of this monster at all. He could only vaguely feel that this thing seemed to have some humanoid characteristics.

It could be said that it is a human being, but it is unlikely.

Because even though the perspective Lu An saw at this moment was very blurry, Lu An could still clearly see it.When this monster moves, it doesn't move on its legs like humans do, but on all fours.

He moves like a ghost, making it difficult to catch him.But every time he appeared, a large group of monster insects would die instantly, and what was even more shocking was that Lu An didn't even see clearly how this figure killed the monster insects.

It was as if he just appeared in front of the monster insect, and then with a slight swipe of his finger from the monster insect's body, the monster insect would die instantly and lose its breath.

The body that fell to the ground felt even smaller.

If Lu An's guess is correct, I'm afraid it has been drained of flesh and blood again. It seems that the target of this monster is not limited to humans. Whether it is humans or monster insects, it is the target of absorbing flesh and blood.

Lu An did not look back to ask Tang Xiaowu for his opinion. According to the current situation, these monster insects had begun to flee in all directions without forming a strong impact. Coupled with the monsters chasing behind them, their actions became more complicated. dispersion.

According to this situation, the strange insects should not have much impact on the wooden house. Maybe one or two strange insects will come near the wooden house, but just one or two strange insects will not be enough to destroy the entire wooden house.

So in this case, Lu An and Tang Xiaowu's tactics naturally changed, from abandoning the house and escaping to staying put. Lu An and Tang Xiaowu simultaneously chose to wait and see what happened.

The massacre outside the wooden house continued. The monster's figure was like a black lightning, constantly shuttling between the strange insects. Every time it came into contact with a strange insect, it would fall down silently, almost submerged. Within a few minutes, there were only a few monster insects left in the seemingly huge number, and the number was decreasing sharply.Lu An couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

At the beginning, he speculated that no matter what this monster was, perhaps what it needed to survive in this space was the flesh and blood of other living creatures, whether it was monster insects or humans.But at the moment, the amount of flesh and blood required by this monster just to maintain life is too terrifying.You must know that every monster insect is larger than a human being, but she drained the flesh and blood from the body so easily.Even if it is converted into some kind of energy, this energy is also extremely terrifying.Especially in such large quantities.

Then Lu An couldn't help but feel a little confused about this monster's actions.It would be an exaggeration to require such a large number just for hunting.But what if it's because of other reasons?For example, simply enjoying the thrill of hunting?

If this is the case, the horror level of this black shadow in Lu An's heart has increased by several levels.

If the black shadow is just some kind of terrifying alien beast, it would be more or less acceptable for people to attack other creatures just to meet their own needs. After all, as long as the monster is full, it will eventually stop, but this monster If, as I guessed, he already has some personalities and even characteristics similar to humans, then this kind of hobby of killing may lead to an increasing decrease in the number of creatures in the entire space. After all, as of now, Lu An is in this space. Strictly speaking, there are only 4 types of creatures that I have come into contact with.

These four types of people also include the monster itself. In addition to him, they are the fallen flower of the gods, humans and strange insects.

The Flower of the Fallen God is not a creature of flesh and blood, so there is a high probability that it will not be the target of this kind of monster. This leaves only humans and monster insects. Thinking of this, Lu An couldn't help but glanced at the flower hanging on the wooden house. That talisman.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Lu An felt that the pattern on the amulet was faintly emitting a faint red light, and the feeling of being spied on that Lu An had felt before seemed to have become stronger.

The entire amulet seemed to become an eye, constantly scanning everything in the wooden house.

At this moment, the black shadow that was massacred gradually stopped, and the upper body of his body standing directly in front of the wooden house slowly stood up.

Instead of using all four limbs, he started to walk like a human.

The sudden change in the black shadow surprised Lu An.

After all, when I saw this black figure before, I only vaguely felt that it had some human characteristics, but because it moved on all fours, Lu An had subconsciously ruled out the possibility that it was a human being, thinking that he should be something similar to a human being. creatures, such as monkeys.

But now when the monster stood up and walked upright.Lu An discovered something was wrong.

When he stood up.The feeling became even stronger. Lu An had an intuition in his heart that this monster was not an ape at all, but was clearly a human being.

Or maybe he was a human a long time ago.

Lu An was suddenly startled. He suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but ask Tang Xiaowu.

"How long have the legends about this monster been circulating?"

Tang Xiaowu frowned and didn't understand why Lu An asked this question, but she still spoke honestly. : "To be honest, I don't know, because this news has been spread since I was born, and it should have been passed down from generation to generation."

"If you really study the time carefully, I'm afraid it's not just tens of thousands of years."

Lu An's eyes flashed with intense shock.

He had always thought that this monster might be some kind of strange creature that continued to thrive in this space in an alternative way, so even though this legend had been going on for countless years, Lu An was not too surprised.

But this monster in front of me.But it made Lu An feel that he was a real human being.

If that's the case, doesn't it mean that this monster has lived for countless years? ? ?

This...is this really just the ability that a monster should have?

Even in the plane where Lu An only lives, even with the blessing of the panel, he can reach level 100. Although he is called a god-level powerhouse, if you want to talk about it in detail, he is not actually a real person. In the sense of immortality, even gods are mortal. The simplest example is that most of the dragon souls Lu An once saw in the dragon world were powerful men above the god level, but they still died. The remaining souls are constantly wailing, and even the souls are eventually polluted and die.

In fact, the title of this kind of god-level powerhouse does not really mean that they have become omnipotent gods, but more like a respectful title for the powerhouse who has reached that level. It is just a reference to strength. symbol of.

This kind of god-level powerhouse is not immortal.

Even if they are not harmed, their lifespan is limited.But the monster Lu An saw now had really lived for countless years.

What is she?

Could it be said that in the era that Tang Xiaowu and the others lived in, when they were able to gather all the mighty power of heaven and earth into their own era, could anyone really become the kind of immortal and omnipotent god?

So is the so-called Poseidon like that?

The thoughts in Lu An's mind suddenly turned around a thousand times. He thought a lot at that time, but he had no answer.

At this moment, Lu An suddenly felt a pinching pain on his shoulder.That was Tang Xiaowu's reaction to unconsciously exerting force when he put his hand on his shoulder.And to be able to make Tang Xiaowu, who had always been very calm, show such a reaction, could it be that there was another accident?

Lu An's eyes were slightly closed, and he looked out the window, only to see that black shadow finally taking action again.

He slowly raised his legs and walked towards the cabin.

Chapter 522 Guess

Looking at the approaching figure not far away, there was silence in the wooden house. The surroundings were so quiet that Lu An seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat clearly.

No, it wasn't just Lu An. Lu An even felt that she could feel Tang Xiaowu's nervousness. Her hand on Lu An's shoulder was obviously much harder.Even Tang Xiaowu, as the elder sister, obviously still has a heartfelt fear of this figure.

You know, even if she is the most powerful in the clan, facing about 5 monster insects at the same time is already her limit, and this limit usually means that she can barely force the monster insects back. If she wants to kill them, It is absolutely impossible without paying the price.

But there were clearly hundreds of strange insects there just now, but they all died quietly just as the silhouettes of people flickered.The strength of this figure is probably far beyond what Lu An and the others can understand.

If Lu An were to judge based on his own vision, he would think that this person is at least close to the god level, or has surpassed the god level.

If such a terrifying guy is allowed to enter the wooden house, then both himself and Tang Xiaowu will probably die without burial. The uncle and aunt Tang Xiaowu once met will be his next fate.

All the blood had been drained from his body, and his whole body looked like a mummy.

However, Lu An did not sit still and wait for death because the opponent was too powerful. He clenched the golden trident tightly in his left hand, and in his right hand was the short knife that Tang Xiaowu gave him in the morning. It is a sharp weapon polished from the carapace of the monster insect. When facing the monster insect, it can barely break through the monster insect's defense. But facing this monster Lu An, I really don't know if it will be effective.

But even if it doesn't work, Lu An still wants to try it. At least Lu An will never give up his life like this.Just when Lu An and Tang Xiaowu were ready to fight to the death, they were suddenly stunned. The monster in front of them suddenly stopped in front of the wooden house.

He just stood there quietly, less than 10 meters away.This position can be said to be very subtle. If he moved slightly forward, Lu An could clearly see the specific appearance of the figure. At this moment, it happened to be still shrouded in shadow, making Lu An and Tang Xiaowu unable to See clearly.

Lu An and Tang Xiaowu suddenly froze on the spot, and the courage they had mustered up actually felt a little dissipated at this moment.

"What exactly does this weirdo want to do? Does he want to play a trick on us?"

Tang Xiaowu couldn't help but said softly, with a hint of anger in his tone.Her nerves had always been tense, but now she was suddenly stimulated by the other party. Naturally, there was resentment in her heart. However, she also knew that the initiative of the entire situation was completely controlled by the weirdo. She and Lu An had no idea about the current situation. In fact, there is no solution at all.

Instead, Lu An looked thoughtful as he looked at the strange man's sudden stop.

His eyes involuntarily glanced at the talisman hanging on the wooden door behind him. Although the talisman had never given Lu An a very good feeling, he had to admit that it seemed that the talisman had also played its role. Its effect made the monster stop, and it did not attack them immediately.

"I think the precepts passed down from generation to generation should be true. As long as there is the protection of that talisman, this monster should not rush in directly."

Lu An said softly, which immediately reminded Tang Xiaowu. She was stunned for a moment and then looked at the thing hanging on the door.Then he frowned.

Could it really be that talisman that worked?

Tang Xiaowu didn't say anything more, so she sat next to Lu An, and the two of them stared out the window together.

Although the figure outside the window did not move forward, he did not leave directly either. Instead, he stood there blankly like a wooden stake.

Lu An wanted to take this opportunity to understand this monster as much as possible, at least know what this monster is, at least have a certain understanding of him, so that he can avoid the possibility of an accident if he meets him again in the future. .

However, the result was extremely disappointing to Lu An, because the figure seemed to be hidden in the darkness and could not be seen clearly.

However, this guy didn't leave directly, so Lu An and Tang Xiaowu didn't dare to relax, so they just kept going. Time passed bit by bit, and when Tang Xiaowu and Lu An couldn't hold on any longer, they started to fight. When I yawned.

The figure in front of the wooden house suddenly disappeared.

Lu An's eyes suddenly widened, and the sleepiness that had just spread suddenly disappeared without a trace at this moment.

"What happened? He left? Did you see how he left?"

Tang Xiaowu shook his head, his eyes also full of surprise, "I was too sleepy just now, and he disappeared as soon as I lost my mind."

At this moment, the sky gradually became brighter. Lu An and Tang Xiaowu looked at each other, and both of them had a vague guess in their hearts.

Could it be that because it was almost dawn, the monster suddenly disappeared and ran away?

Lu An and Tang Xiaowu have not discussed this possibility, but they agree that this result should be the most likely. After all, purely in terms of strength, Lu An and Tang Xiaowu obviously have no damage to this monster. Powerful.

And this monster actually stopped in front of the wooden house, which meant that he should have discovered Tang Xiaowu and Lu An hiding in the wooden house.

There is a high probability that the reason why the monster did not attack the two of them was just because of the talisman.

Therefore, the two of them actually pose no threat to the monster. Naturally, there is no other possibility for the monster to leave.

After seeing the sky light up slightly, Tang Xiaowu wanted to go out to see the details of those strange insects, but was stopped by Lu An.

"It's better to be cautious and wait until it gets completely bright before going out again."

Tang Xiaowu was slightly stunned, but decided to follow Lu An's instructions and wait for a moment.

Lu An just wanted to be more cautious. After all, the boundary between day and night in this space is not that clear. If now it can only be regarded as daybreak in a strict sense, the monster will appear as soon as the two of them walk away. If they suddenly appeared and launched an attack, the two people would probably have no chance of escaping back to the cabin. In such a dangerous situation, caution was never too much.

Wait until it is completely light.Tang Xiaowu and Lu An walked out of the wooden house together.

As soon as he walked out of the wooden house, the strong smell of blood filled Lu An's nose.

The smell of blood was so strong that Lu An even thought he was in a sea of ​​blood. Tang Xiaowu couldn't help but cover his nose, with a look of disgust on his face.

The two of them quickly walked towards the strange insect closest to them. As the distance got closer, the appearance of the strange insect at this moment was finally revealed in front of Lu An and the others.

The armor of the strange insect was still intact, but there was a circular hole in its abdomen.

The hole seemed to be about the size of a fist, going straight through its entire body, as if someone punched it in front of it and punched half of its body.

The internal organs inside the insect also fell to the ground.

But each piece of these internal organs shrank incomparably, like a mummy that had been dried for hundreds of years.There is not even a drop of blood on it.

But what's interesting is that normally there shouldn't be much bloody smell in a situation like this. After all, all the blood has disappeared out of thin air, but the thick bloody smell has become even stronger. Lu An looked carefully After checking the corpse itself, I found that the corpse of this strange insect had indeed been completely mummified like its internal organs. There was no blood in it, and even the flesh had shrunk, but the only thing that made people feel What was wrong was the extremely strong smell of blood.

After Lu An checked it carefully again and again, he suddenly had a guess in his heart.

The changes in this corpse are a bit strange. There is actually a slight difference from normal drying.

If this monster's ability is only to drain all the blood out of the living body, then this bloody smell should not exist.At the same time, if it simply lost most of its blood, the corpse itself would not be able to become so mummified immediately.

According to Lu An's understanding, there is only one possibility that it will reach this level, and that is high temperature.

If this monster's ability is not to directly extract the blood from the living body for its own use, but to use some rapid high-temperature method to evaporate all the blood and water in the living body in an instant.

In this case, it is possible for the corpse to look like what Lu An sees now, and the strong smell of blood is exactly the product left after the blood is vaporized by high temperature.

After all, there is no normal celestial phenomenon in this place, and even the wind only appears occasionally, which makes the smell of blood evaporated by high temperature particularly strong.

Tang Xiaowu, who was also squatting aside to check, clearly noticed something was wrong and let out a light sigh.

She and Lu An said in unison: "These strange insects did not die by having their blood extracted!"
