Chapter 742
742 Dismembered monster (1)
Under the bricks in the ruins, there was a large amount of water that looked very clear.
Seeing this, everyone used a container to hold it, and then carried out a simple washing of their bodies to get rid of the rancid smell.
Some stowaways simply threw away their dirty clothes and changed into new clothes. They took out dry food and slowly chewed it.
The weather had turned gloomy, and the surrounding scenery had begun to blur. Night was approaching.
Some cultivators took out their sabers and picked out some fresh branches from the surrounding plants. They placed them next to the fire that was about to be lit.
The smoke produced by burning branches could effectively get rid of the blood-sucking mosquitos here. Without it, one’s entire body would probably be sucked dry after a night.
There were also cultivators who took the leaves of some plants, smashed them into a paste, and evenly smeared it on their arms and faces. It also had the effect of repelling mosquitoes.
After all, the mountain range was different from other places. If one was not careful, they could lose their lives.
Unknowingly, night had fallen.
A few bonfires made of special fuel were also lit one after another, flickering with a dim light in the dark night.
Everyone sat around the fire in silence, as if they were made of clay or wood.
Tang Zhen leaned against his bag and swept his gaze over the group of cultivators who were around twenty meters away from them. A trace of doubt flashed across his eyes.
Although it was normal for these cultivators to rest separately from them under normal circumstances, Tang Zhen’s gaze on the foreign tribe cultivators was somewhat strange.
It was as if there was a hint of pity in the mockery, as if they were waiting to watch a good show!
Tang Zhen’s heart trembled. He secretly thought that this group of people definitely didn’t have good intentions. Could it be that the stowaways ‘resting place had something to do with it?
As he thought up to this point, Tang Zhen tried to probe a foreign race cultivator not far away, can I go over there to rest? it’s not comfortable to lie here.
stop talking nonsense and stay here. Otherwise, I’ll teach you a lesson!
The foreign cultivator reprimanded him and no longer paid attention to Tang Zhen. He turned around and chatted with his companions in a low voice.
Although he had lowered his voice, Tang Zhen’s hearing was extremely shocking. He was still able to hear the conversation between them.
“How many do you think will be left by tomorrow morning?”
“It’s hard to say. If we’re lucky, one or two will die. If we’re unlucky, maybe all of them will die.”
“These guys are really unlucky to have encountered such a thing on the first day. Hehe hehe.”
“Who said it wasn’t!”
Tang Zhen did not say anything. He hugged his arms and retreated into the distance. However, a trace of coldness flashed across his eyes.
He was now sure that there was a secret in this temporary camp that no one knew about, and it was a very dangerous one.
This group of cultivators knew of the existence of this danger and also knew how to avoid it. However, for some unknown reason, they actually intended to sacrifice the stowaways.
Sure enough, in their hearts, they were characters who could be killed at will. They didn’t care if they were Dead or Alive.
It was estimated that the biggest use of stowaways was to attract monsters!
After realizing this point, Tang Zhen began to carefully observe the performance of these groups of cultivators. He was prepared to see what kind of support they had to ensure that they would not be hurt.
Time passed slowly, and it was already late at night. The people who had been on the road for an entire day finally couldn’t resist the sleepiness and fell asleep one after another.
Tang Zhen closed his eyes and made a sleeping appearance. In reality, he had switched to the map view and was constantly observing his surroundings.
Everything was quiet, as if nothing special had happened.
Just as Tang Zhen thought that he had made a mistake, a group of light dots suddenly jumped out one after another on the screen in front of him.
This was the alarm from the monster detector, indicating that a monster had suddenly appeared and was approaching their location.
A gray fog appeared, which seemed to have a numbing and hallucinating effect, causing people’s reactions and senses to gradually become numb and slow.
Tang Zhen sneered in his heart. This group of foreign race cultivators really didn’t have good intentions!
Because the surrounding night was too dark, Tang Zhen did not see clearly where these monsters had appeared from. He only knew that they came with ill intentions.
In just the blink of an eye, those monsters approached the location where Tang Zhen and the others were, revealing their sinister appearance.
This was a group of human-shaped monsters that looked like mummies. They were either missing arms or legs. They quietly approached and surrounded Tang Zhen and the other stowaways in groups of three to five.
There was also a group of mummies that walked towards the cultivator team, but as soon as they got close, a circle of white light flashed on the ground, blocking them.
The mummies scratched a few times and unwillingly wandered around outside. More and more of them gathered!
Tang Zhen came to a sudden realization. So, the thing that these foreign race cultivators were relying on was the runic magic circle underground!
Tang Zhen coldly laughed in his heart. He had already thought of a way to deal with this group of people.
However, the thing that they had to do now was to first deal with these hideous mummies with incomplete limbs. This was because these monsters were currently squatting around Tang Zhen. Their faces were filled with greed as they swept over his body.
“This person’s body shape is similar to ours!”
“I want a leg, a leg, a leg!”
A mummified corpse extended its hand and grabbed at one of Tang Zhen’s legs after uttering these words.
“The arm is mine!”
Another mummified corpse growled in a low voice. It seemed to have mustered up all its strength and was prepared to tear off Tang Zhen’s arm.
“Boss, give it to me!”
A headless mummified body continuously groped around. Its sharp skinny claws were about to touch Tang Zhen’s head.
In fact, it wasn’t only Tang Zhen who was like this. The other stowaways were also surrounded by a group of incomplete mummies. They were all snatching the organs that they were missing!
The principle of their choice was to be similar to his body size, and the similarity had to be at least 80%!
Most of the foreign cultivators in the group had already woken up and were looking at Tang Zhen and the other stowaways with cold and ruthless eyes.
These ‘dismembering monsters’ that came and went without a trace would always appear out of thin air at midnight, tear the victim into pieces, and then leave with their missing limbs and organs in satisfaction.
If these dismembered monsters did not succeed, they would stay in place and refuse to leave.
The dismembered monsters that did not succeed that night would continue to appear the next night. As long as one of the dismembered monsters obtained the missing organ, the other dismembered monsters would leave together!
Therefore, the best way was to satisfy them and stop them from harassing him.
There was a special area similar to a runic magic circle where the cultivator team was located. It could effectively resist the corpse monsters and prevent them from approaching easily!
However, there was no such runic magic circle in other places of the dangerous mountain range. It could be said that there was no defense against the dismembered monster!
Under normal circumstances, dismembering monsters that were not at the level of a Lord were not that scary. These foreign cultivators could easily kill them!
But the problem was that these dismembered monsters couldn’t be killed at all. Even if they were chopped into minced meat, they would jump out from a corner in the blink of an eye, which was really strange.
After a while, the alien cultivators understood the habits of these dismembered monsters and began to use the lives of stowaways to satisfy these dismembered monsters. This way, they could rest easy!
This time, they had encountered an accident in the process of their journey and had no choice but to choose a temporary camp with a corpse dismembering monster. From that moment on, Tang Zhen and the others had been treated as ” sacrifices ” for the corpse dismembering monster!
