"Have any brothers completed the blind jump? Please tell me the coordinates and where you are."

In front of him was the gorgeous turbulence of the space passage. Li Zheng, who was in the shuttle cabin, asked curiously in the team channel.

The voice of Eat Earth came first.

So poor that I am so poor: I am still in the space channel, I hope I don't land on the Black Tide node, otherwise the blind jump trial may end early. Family Shared Godfather: Why, Black Tide, what is there to be afraid of?, although it is a random blind jump, the landing place Tidal Rebellion Legion must have been roughly investigated. Even the Black Tide node is generally the place where new evil spirits descend. It is impossible to send us to the king's node. Broke to the Bone: Stupid, I am not referring to the strength of the Black Tide node. You have forgotten God of Wealth. The mission goal of descending on the Xie Chong node is to kill Xie Chong to obtain Evil Crystals. Didn't God of Wealth meet us just to collect Evil Crystals... The problem is that our players kill the evil spirit but absorb it directly, and there is no residue left. How to get Evil Crystals?

Killing Intent Stirred: Hey, don't tell me, if we encounter the Black Tide node, the trial can be directly judged to have failed.

Game Brick Mover Party: Brothers, are you nervous now?

Leopard Head Zero Charge: It's strange that I'm not nervous. What I'm most worried about right now is where those beasts are coming. I hope brother Di Zhao will bless them and help them get through the blind jump trial safely.

Fun Without Paying: It's the last stage of the training camp. Come on, brothers. There are many people watching in the live broadcast room. Don't embarrass us Grind Emperor Group. During the chat, the end of the space channel in Li Zheng's eyes lit up with a faint light, gradually turning into a dazzling silvery white.

The shuttle cabin broke through the light film at this time, and the engine tail flames dragged out three light blue tracks in the air, and then were pulled by invisible forces and swooped towards the earth shrouded in black mist below.

When passing through the thick clouds, the cabin shook violently, and the scene outside the window changed from chaos to clarity.

Dark green rotting swamps are bubbling with bubbles on the surface, and dark purple vines wrap around exposed rock pillars like giant pythons. The outline of the mountains in the distance is dyed by the red glow, and various styles of rusted weapons can be vaguely seen embedded in the rock walls.

Finally, the shuttle cabin crashed into a primeval forest entangled with vines.

Li Zheng pushed the handle violently at this time.

Tsk!

White mist rose, and the door of the shuttle cabin slowly opened.

Li Zheng walked out of the hatch and opened the world map first, and found that he was in the southernmost area of the Pale Continent area. There was only unexplored fog on the map, and there was no navigation to refer to.

He closed the map and looked up at the sky.

Looking through the gaps between the dense branches and leaves, what I saw was the dark clouds in the sky.

There is no Evil Moon, which proves that this is not the Black Tide node.

Looking back at the shuttle cabin, the first thing he did was to put the shuttle cabin into his space bag.

A lesson for the past and a guide for the future.

God of Wealth was stolen from the shuttle cabin back then, allowing players who accidentally discovered it to earn a high Sacrificial Power reward, causing a sensation in the forum.

He didn't want to make the same mistake.

Looking around, it is a dense jungle.

The giant branch that was broken by the shuttle cabin at your feet was still trembling slightly, and thick dark green sap continued to ooze from the fracture. The canopy of nearby towering ancient trees blocked the sky, and the twisted branches were intertwined with each other, forming a nearly airtight net above the head. Only sporadic light spots leaked from the gaps, illuminating the lavender spores in the air like fireflies.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of rotten leaves. If you stepped on it, your legs could sink half a meter into it. There was a foul smell in the air.

Everywhere you look, every rock is covered with dark yellow moss.

"Where are you all?" Li Zheng did not rush into action, but asked in the team channel.

Immediately, Grind Emperor Group's brothers sent messages one after another.

Broke to the Bone: There is a prize for guessing. This is the moon I just took. You see, the moon is big and red, so where do you think I am (Explorer wipes tears. jpg).

Fun Without Paying: I don't know where I am. When I open the map, it's all black. I see a small village in the distance. I dare not go there for fear of being caught and eaten by cannibals (Explorer Suspicion. jpg).

Killing Intent Stirred: The place where I landed has a nice scenery (screenshot). It is a scene dominated by plant life. At least there are corpses to prove the death of plant life. I am going to temporarily change the extraction Monster Soul to start killing. I should be able to complete the trial requirements soon.

Leopard Head Zero Charge: I just got out of the shuttle cabin and I was still descending. Damn... there are descending monsters, and I'm getting ready to run away. Brothers, we'll talk later. Realizing that the brothers had already started the trial, Li Zheng also squatted down at this time and began to detect the energy fluctuations radiated by the nearby plants and the soil environment.

This is used to determine the energy intensity of the current area and thereby determine the probability of the existence of powerful monsters.

Twist up a handful of black soil mixed with dead leaves, bring it to the tip of your nose and smell it.

In addition to the earthy smell, there is also a very faint smell of metal rust. After digging deeper, I found many metal fragments on the ground.

I scanned the area and initially judged that this place seemed to have once been a Ancient Battlefield. The dirt was full of weapons and equipment fragments that were about to be assimilated by the land. But Li Zheng didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

The war of Monster World has never stopped. Every inch of land is full of blood. It is normal to find a Ancient Battlefield.

The jungle beneath our feet has obviously grown again in the long years since the war ended.

At this moment, the vines behind him suddenly shook violently.

The roots of the vines were being dragged by something, and there was a dull crushing sound from under the soil, as if heavy machinery was moving.

Li Zheng turned around suddenly, and the ring in his hand instantly turned into a golden war blade.

In front of his sight, a "monster" nearly three meters high was walking from the depths of the woods.

This thing looks like a rhinoceros that walks upright. Its back is covered with layers of bone armor, but it holds a rusty giant ax in its hand.

Its left eye was a hollow, its right eye was burning with green evil fire, and a low growl emitted from its throat that was neither beast nor human. Every step made the ground tremble. Seeing this weapon, Li Zheng couldn't help but frown.

The war pattern on the ax blade is clearly a symbol in the Tidal Rebellion Legion.

The analysis was swept away, and the relevant information appeared in his mind.

[Counter-Tide Warrior-Iron Ridge Beast (Evil Gu Insect Parasite)]:

Hunting level: level 82.

Target introduction: He was originally Tidal Rebellion Legion - a soldier of the seventh Branch Group of the 3293rd legion. He died in the war with the Cixin tribe, and his body was later transferred to the force Evil Gu Insect Clan is parasitic, using its residual body as a nest, and the insect swarm squirms between the bones, giving birth to layers of bone armor and a deformed body. The remaining fighting instinct allows it to still hold the giant ax it used to fight in life, becoming a puppet that has lost its sense of autonomy.

Analyze the information and let Li Zheng understand why the opponent uses Tidal Rebellion Legion's standard weapon.

The Iron Ridge beast under the control of the evil Gu Insect suddenly raised its giant axe, and the ax blade slashed Breaking the Void Qi roared out.

Li Zheng calmly dodged sideways, then took a short step forward, Gāng Qì came out of the body, and slashed the opponent's knee joint with the golden blade in his hand, where there was an old crack in the bone armor.

Bang!

There was a crisp sound, and Fire Flower was splashed in all directions. The Iron Ridge beast staggered for half a step, the evil fire in its pupils burned brighter, and it swept forward with a backhand axe. Li Zheng used the force of his backward jump to spin the golden blade in a circle in his palm. He held the handle with his backhand and used the inertia of the Iron Ridge beast's swing to slide it sideways to its armpit.

"Instant kill."

The rune weapon buzzed and lit up with golden light, slashing diagonally from bottom to top.

The tip of the blade penetrated the armor and skin, accurately cutting off the opponent's cervical vertebra.

Gāng Qì exploded instantly, pouring into the Iron Ridge beast's body like a tide, crushing all the evil Gu insects.

The instantaneous burst of power caused the Iron Ridge beast's body to suddenly expand in a circle, like an inflated balloon, with rich black gas continuously pouring out from the body. This was the vitality of the crushed evil Gu worms.

After this blow, the giant ax in the Iron Ridge beast's hand suddenly fell to the ground, its huge body shook, and the evil fire struggled in the eye socket twice, and finally extinguished. It kept standing and fell to the ground, and the broken badge of the Tidal Rebellion Legion on its chest hit the stone when it fell. There was a soft sound. The challenger prompt sounded in his mind. Li Zheng waved away the golden blade in his hand, came to the Iron Ridge beast and squatted down, gently closed the opponent's still open eyes, and then picked up the Tidal Rebellion Legion standard giant axe.

There was a vague legion number code engraved on the handle of the axe, which was heavy in the hand.

This weapon is badly damaged and is of no use if left in hand.

The consignment Gold Coin Merchant Association also failed to meet the completeness standard. He chose to give Sacrifice to brother Di Zhao on the spot and received 828 points Sacrificial Power.

After the battle, he had a preliminary understanding of the situation in this area.

Obviously, this place was once a battlefield between the Tidal Rebellion Legion and aliens, but now it has been occupied by the descending force Evil Gu Insect Clan.

This creature is somewhat similar to Soul Beast created by the Soul Return Clan in the analysis introduction.

But the difference in mechanism is not even a tiny bit.

Soul Beast perfectly inherits everything except the host's irregular abilities, including the proficiency in using abilities.

However, the evil Gu can only use the life strength and life structure of the deceased, but it cannot extract combat talents, killing combat skills, etc.

The preliminary judgment of this race is that the mechanism is very weak, but the strength of the race cannot be determined yet.

The core of the Blind Leap Trial is hunting and then obtaining trophies. Li Zheng decided to target evil Gu insects next.

He reached out to pick up an energy slag stone left on the ground after being refined, and continued to explore the depths of the jungle.

Although the device carried with you can film the hunting process.

But the most important thing is to submit the hunting trophies.

The blind jump trial only looks at the results, not the process. The loot is the key to completing the trial.

During the subsequent exploration, Li Zheng was attacked by multiple creatures controlled by the Evil Gu Insect Clan.

Among them are veterans of Counter-Tide, as well as the remains of Cixin warriors who fought with Counter-Tide warriors.

There is even a twisted suture body where the Counter-Tide veteran and the remains of the Compassionate Warrior are joined together.

The curious Li Zheng, after killing a suture body, looked at Guiding Water Orb and asked curiously:

"Brother Guidance, what exactly is this evil Gu insect? Is it an ethnic group, or is it a pet beast controlled by a certain ethnic group?"

Facing the inquiry, Guiding Water Orb opened his eyes:

[It can be understood as an existence similar to Combat Insectoids, but there are multiple controllers in this group, and each controller breeds and controls a group of evil Gu insects.]

After saying this, Guidance raised his hand and released a light curtain, pointing at the Dark Red colored thread-like twisted insect in the screen and continued:

[The bodies of these creatures are as thin as gossamer, and can easily pierce muscles and corrode bones. Their survival mode is an alternative form of parasitism. Instead of obtaining nutrients from the host, they weave dead flesh and blood and re-sew them into killing puppets.]

[Dead lives, as long as their remains remain, will become their materials.]

[For example, Counter-Tide The broken spine of the veteran will be forcibly straightened by evil Gu insects, and the rotten muscles will be tightened again under the control of the insect swarm. Even if the joints are broken, the evil Gu insects can still replace the tendons with silk threads, allowing the corpse to hold the weapon it was used in life]

[This race actually takes a shortcut to growth and has evolved a symbiosis model. It does not need to consider issues such as the cultivation system or the optimization of life structure. They only need to find the flesh and blood of the strong to combine powerful puppet lives. Even species with different life structures can be precisely spliced by them, fusing two completely different life characteristics to give birth to deformed monsters.]

[A simple understanding is that the flesh and blood of living things are Spiritual Ore, spiritual plants, and other materials in the eyes of the Evil Gu Insect Clan. The equipment created with this is the puppet suture body. The higher the strength of the target's residual body, the higher the quality of the puppet created. Gao, skipped the step of optimizing his own life, and found an alternative shortcut to become stronger, but in essence, this evolutionary method has only shortcomings in addition to rapid growth, and is far inferior to the Soul Beast system of the Soul Return Clan.]

After learning the details, Li Zheng suddenly nodded.

During the battle just now, he felt that the movements of these controlled puppets were not stiff at all during the battle.

After listening to Guidance's explanation, he roughly understood.

Evil Gu insects can be understood as warriors who control mechas, and flesh and blood are the materials for building mechas.

The evil Gu swarm is an expert in this field, and any flesh and blood material can perfectly exert its strength in their hands.

Picking up the refining residue left on the ground, he continued to explore the depths of the jungle.

The blind jump trial is undoubtedly a lonely journey.

But for Li Zheng, the team chat channel allows for conversation, and there are hundreds of millions of players and tourists accompanying him in the live broadcast room, so he doesn't feel lonely at all. Occasionally, he will also take a look at the hot barrages in the live broadcast room to interact.

Ahead is a relatively open forest area, with sunlight filtering through the gaps between branches and leaves, casting mottled light and shadow on the ground.

Here, Li Zheng smelled an unpleasant smell.

It doesn't smell like rotting leaves or metal rust, but rather like the bitter smell of some kind of crushed vegetation.

Pushing aside the vines blocking the road, he found a half-dried herb growing next to a broken and incomplete shield. There were dark brown stains on the leaves. When he looked closer, they looked like dried blood stains.

After analyzing and scanning it, I found that this thing turned out to be a fifth-level spiritual plant.

Li Zheng immediately beamed.

This is the fun of exploration, there are always unknown surprises found on the unknown road ahead.

This is also the unique happiness of players.

The exploration of other tribes is frightening, but their players are full of expectations.

He decisively pulled up the herbs by their roots and threw them directly into the space bag for storage.

Going deeper along the direction of the growth of the herbs, the broken metal objects on the ground become increasingly dense.

He also found a palm-sized metal plate on the ground, with the words "Counter-Tide 3293 Legion - Wild Python Battle Formation" engraved on it. There was also a half-broken chain hanging on the edge. It must have been the identity tag worn by the Counter-Tide soldiers back then.

The mist in the forest gradually thickened, carrying a faint sweet smell.

Li Zheng stopped and listened carefully. In addition to his own breathing, there was also a very slight "rustling" sound, as if something was crawling among the vines.

He walked slowly towards the source of the sound, pushed aside the old tree covered with vines, and suddenly his eyes opened up.

A sunken valley appeared in front of us, with dense arrow clusters embedded in the valley walls, and some arrow shafts were wrapped with faded cloth strips. There was half a foot of black mud at the bottom of the valley, and you could hear the soft sound of bones breaking when you stepped on it.

A Detailed Study Faction player in the live broadcast room mentioned in a barrage at this time that the soil here should be a layer of corpses, with the layers of skeletons half-covered by the soil. Even the material that looks like soil may be the remains of soldiers from that year.

It can be seen that there was such a tragic war here.

Looking into the distance, one can see many suture lifeforms controlled by evil Gu insects swimming around.

According to Guidance's explanation, this behavior is not aimless walking, but a fitness training mode of the Evil Gu Insect Clan.

Continue to hone your proficiency until "man and machine become one".

Li Zheng looked up to the east side of the valley. The vines there were extremely thick. When he looked closer, he could see some gray-brown things standing behind the vines. When he got close, he released Gāng Qì, turned his fingers into knives, and cut off the vines blocking the road with his hand.

I found that behind the vines was a row of vertical stone slabs with vague writing on them.

The top stone slab has a crooked word "evil" carved in the corner.

There is a broken sword stuck in the mud in front of the stone slab. Although the cloth wrapped around the sword has faded, it can still be seen that it is the standard weapon used by Counter-Tide warriors. In front of the broken sword is a head with only bones left.

Li Zheng cannot tell what race the other party is.

Although he stayed at Counter-Tide for more than two years, he was only exposed to part of the huge Counter-Tide system.

The area he is in belongs to the Tidal Rebellion 138th Legion under the command of the commander of the "Futu" army, and will also go to the 138th Army to participate in the war in the future. The 2,500 Tidal Rebellion Training Camps from the first to the fifth phases are also the training base for new recruits of the 138th Army.

The foreign students he has come into contact with only account for a drop in the vast ocean of the Tidal Rebellion Legion, and there are too many ethnic groups he has never seen.

Holding the hilt of the sword and pulling it out, the sword brought out a string of adherent bones, one of which was still tightly clinging to the copper ring on the scabbard.

This made Li Zheng stunned.

Suddenly I realized that this was not a stone slab, but a tombstone.

He squatted down and peeled off the dirt on the tombstone with his fingers, and the words behind it jumped into view like a knife and an axe:

The seventh Branch Group, full of evil, fought hard here for three days. His swords were broken and his armor was broken, but he still held the enemy's head and laughed.

"Senior, domineering!"

Seeing this line of text, Li Zheng couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart.

When he drew his sword and brought out the wreckage just now, he still felt guilty in his heart for destroying the remains of his senior, but he did not expect that Jing was the enemy that his senior had killed. And this blood-stained stone tablet was not a tombstone, but a war monument.

The dying Counter-Tide veteran did not carve an epitaph for himself. Instead, at the last moment of his life, he used his remaining strength to press the enemy's head on the stone and carve his own record.

It is conceivable that the senior's heart was filled with joy before his death.

It's just that the remains of the senior who should have fallen near the stone monument are now gone.

There is a high probability that it was parasitized by evil Gu insects.

Below this line of text, there is a large amount of densely written text, but most of it is blurred.

Li Zheng put away the broken sword and continued to look at other stone tablets.

Without exception, these are monuments of meritorious service.

"Fight the nine dead warriors with compassion, break the sword and replace it with fists, kill six of them and leave three alive."

"With seventeen arrows in his body, he used the arrow shaft as a spear and nailed the enemy's head to the stone."

"The abdomen is broken and the intestines are flowing, using the intestines as a rope to strangle the enemy's head..."

Every carving on the stone tablet bears the name Battle Intent, and every stroke is filled with fresh blood.

Li Zheng took a deep breath.

I made up the scene in my mind.

This senior obviously left the battle formation at that time and was alone outside.

But he did not give up the fight.

Wander alone on the edge of the battlefield and constantly kill powerful enemies.

During this period, he was seriously injured several times, and he recuperated here before rejoining the battle.

And this is not the resting place of the dead, but a monument to the victors.

This is the most domineering point of the Tidal Rebellion Legion.

There is no need for tombstones for soldiers outside; their names will only be engraved in the fear of their enemies.

The past of life will only be written on the sharp edge of the knife.

As Magic Shield Instructor said.

A true warrior does not need a square stone to prove his existence.

Their tombstones are the cracks on the enemy's bones, the immortal flames on the battle flags, and the sighs in the hearts of those who came after them when they walked on the bloody road they opened, "Their predecessors were fierce in the past."

This is the most glorious moment in the eyes of Counter-Tide warrior.

Making younger generations proud of themselves is also the goal that his students Good Brother Ghost Eye and other students strive to pursue throughout their lives.

Li Zheng's eyes caressed the last stone tablet. There were only four words on it:

"Here, bury the enemy!"

The tip of the pen is like a knife, and the murderous aura hits the face.

Erecting monuments for the enemy and using war as a sacrifice, this is the spirit of Counter-Tide warriors.

Li Zheng took out the spirit wine from the space bag, took a few steps back and stood still.

"Senior, junior Li Zheng, yours sincerely." He unscrewed the lid and spoke loudly to the layer of bones at his feet.

Then he poured the spiritual wine in his hand onto the ground.

Just when Li Zheng was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly heard the sound of mercy coming from behind him.

Looking back, three sutured bodies controlled by evil Gu insects were flying towards them at extremely fast speeds.

Their eye sockets glowed with green light, and they held the remaining soldiers tightly in their hands. The skeleton in the front still had the identity tag of the Tidal Rebellion Legion hanging on its neck. Affected by the feats of their predecessors, Li Zheng felt a strong Battle Intent in his heart.

The fist was slowly clenched, and Gāng Qì came out of the body, turning into ripples and spreading in circles under the feet, like a blooming flower.

Before the suture body could rush forward, his figure had already rushed out like an arrow.

Gāng Qì The ripples that exploded beneath his feet instantly solidified, creating a pit several meters in diameter on the ground.

The stitched body with the identity tag at the front had just raised its broken knife when Li Zheng was already approaching.

Left Hand directly grasped the opponent's bone arm that was wielding the war blade, and formed a fist with his right hand, tearing the air with Gāng Qì's punching style.

Boom!

With the crisp sound of bone cracking, the fist smashed into the eye socket of the suture body, causing the entire skull to collapse backwards.

The bone residue was mixed with Dark Red colored insect slurry and splashed, and the identity tag hanging around his neck was shaken and flew out of the rope.

Li Zheng caught the identity tag with his backhand and put it into his space bag.

The living person has passed away, but the identity tag can be brought back to the Tidal Rebellion Legion and a tomb can be built for him.

The next second, Gāng Qì on the fist suddenly moved, Li Zheng's body sank down, and his right arm pressed down like a mountain.

Crush the spine of the suture body from the tail vertebra to the cervical vertebra.

On the other side, a suture body stabbed with a rusty spear.

Li Zheng did not dodge or dodge, using Gāng Qì as a shield to stop the spearhead in front of him.

His left arm swept across like an iron whip, hitting the bone armor on the opponent's chest.

There was a muffled sound of "bang", and the bone armor shattered.

He reached out and grabbed the gap between the opponent's ribs, exerted force with both hands, and used Brute Force to break the sutured body in half from the middle.

Line-like swarms of insects poured out from the fracture, and before they had time to hit the ground, they were burned into Ash by the Gāng Qì that surged around Li Zheng.

The last stitched body was the most ferocious, holding a two-meter-long thick shield and smashing it at him.

Li Zheng rushed forward against the rock, punched out with both fists, and Gāng Qì formed a red glow on the surface of his fists.

The moment his fist collided with the shield, the shield resisted his Gāng Qì release.

But Li Zheng's offensive did not stop, and he waved his fists and turned into a phantom.

The hard shield gradually disintegrated in the face of Li Zheng's violent power, and the fragments hit the sutured body with the force of the fist, sending it flying backwards. Before it could hit the ground, Li Zheng had already caught up with it and stepped on its chest with its foot.

The sutured body was still struggling, its bloody claws clawing at his ankles.

Li Zheng suddenly leaned over, held down its head with one hand, grabbed the bone spur on its back with the other hand, and pulled it out hard.

The entire skeleton was ripped up from the spine, and Dark Red colored insects squirmed wildly in the bones, but he grabbed the spine and slammed it to the ground. Bang! Bang! Bang!

He stomped down one foot after another, each foot carrying bursts of Gāng Qì, crushing the bones into pieces and crushing the insects into pulp.

He stopped until there was only a pool of blurry plasma left at his feet, his chest heaving violently, and the insect slurry on his body was evaporated into white smoke by Gāng Qì. The challenger prompt sounded in his mind, and he put away the refined residue loot on the ground and continued to explore deeper into the valley.

The number of sutures encountered along the way has increased significantly.

They even kept coming in a siege manner.

Li Zheng immediately realized that his appearance had attracted the attention of the insect king behind the scenes who controlled these sutures.

But he had no intention of stopping his progress.

The fog on the map continued to dissipate, and he found many traces left by Counter-Tide warriors in this area.

Through Guidance's explanation along the way and the library information provided by Detailed Study Faction player in the live broadcast, he had a general understanding of this war. The trigger of this war was a rule-level item: Compassion.

Tidal Rebellion Legion's scouts who were out exploring and investigating learned that the descending force, the Compassionate Tribe, had rule-level props in their hands, and conveyed the news to Counter-Tide's 3293 Legion.

At that time, Tidal Rebellion Legion was going through a war and could not mobilize its core strength, so the 7 Branch Group stationed at the border participated in the battle to plunder the rules. In the end, they almost won the rule of kindness at the cost of destroying the group.

And this rule is now the strongest rule-level force in the hands of Counter-Tide 3293 Legion.

As for the right and wrong of this battle, only children can decide what is right or wrong.

Counter-Tide warriors can fight to the death to protect their comrades, or they can kill all the women and children of the enemy clan.

This has nothing to do with good or evil, it is the most basic law of survival in this world.

Therefore, Tidal Rebellion Legion is also regarded as: demon, butcher, legion of evil, etc. by countless forces that have come into contact with it.

No one cares about these names.

Monster World All forces have only one consensus: if you can survive, you are right; if you can keep your own people alive, you are a hero.

In the eyes of foreign forces, those demons in the Tidal Rebellion Legion who commit heinous crimes are generally heroes in the eyes of the Tidal Rebellion Legion creatures.

When external threats come, only the "devils" in the words of this group of foreign forces will stand at the forefront of the incoming enemy formation.

While hunting, Li Zheng is also paying attention to the performance of other brothers.

Except for Eat Earth, who had a dangerous start, and was chased away by Black Tide, who was controlled by Evil Spirit Warrior, the rest of the brothers had a pretty good start, at least they had not encountered any difficult threats.

Li Zheng didn't pay too much attention to the brothers and focused more on hunting.

During this period he discovered something strange.

Exploring into the valley, the appearance of the sutured life that appeared was changing.

At first, all the people encountered were all kinds of strange-shaped sutures made of flesh and blood, but the shapes of the sutures deep in the valley tended to be the same. Both physical flexibility and combat effectiveness were significantly improved.

Along with the surge in numbers, behavioral patterns have also changed.

It is no longer aimless wandering, but also gathering and hunting.

They would actively dig up various skeletons buried deep in the ground, and even attack some animal and plant monsters, dragging their remains to the center of the valley. Through the Qi and Blood wave perception, he felt that there seemed to be a huge life transformation device inside.

Just like the Evil Eye tower controlled by Di Nian Bully, it can swallow and convert energy.

Following the traces of the suture, he passed through a narrow passage obscured by huge vines and jagged rocks.

The front suddenly opened up, but the scene was horrifying.

The deepest part of the valley is a melting pot of flesh and blood made of countless flesh and blood.

Its surface undulates and squirms like a living thing, with countless evil Gu insects shuttled through it, just like blood in blood vessels.

The bones are its skeleton, and the flesh and blood are its fillings. The metal fragments of Shatter are like scales embedded on the surface.

There are multiple crater-like openings on the top of the furnace, which continuously spew out rich black-purple energy mist, which is the source of the previously perceived Qi and Blood fluctuations.

Surrounding the furnace is an army of sutures that are densely packed like worker ants.

They continuously put the collected materials into several huge mouthparts on the top of the furnace.

During this period, a dull sound like the beating of a giant heart came from inside the furnace, mixed with the sounds of bones being crushed and dissolved.

Here, the sweet smell in the air mixed with the stench of metal rust and burnt flesh reached its peak, making Li Zheng subconsciously frown. After analyzing and sweeping away the information, he was stunned by the information presented in his mind.

[Bloodstone(Pseudo-Rule-Advancing)]:

Target introduction: The Bloodstone furnace, which is integrated into the original power of the "flesh and blood world", has not been promoted to the rule level due to the imperfect rule framework. It can continuously generate pure flesh and blood through devouring, Purification, and transformation, which can be used to create a flesh and blood body.

"Guidance brother, what is this?"

After reading the analysis and introduction, Li Zheng was at a loss and did not know how to ask Guidance when something happened.

Facing the inquiry, Guidance opened his eyes at this moment:

[You can understand that this is a robot processing factory, but it does not process metal parts, but highly optimized flesh and blood.] [Those materials put into the furnace will be forcibly decomposed, purified, and reconstructed by the rule-level origin power of the "Bloodstone furnace". This process is like smelting scrap iron into high-purity alloy ingots, and then stamped and forged according to the preset blueprint, and finally assembled into a precise mechanical body.] [But here, what the Bloodstone furnace forges is not gears and bearings, but strong muscle fibers, efficient energy Circulatory System, and hard biological armor bones, so this is a biological processing plant.]

Hearing this, Li Zheng suddenly nodded, and then said in confusion:

"Brother Guidance, the evil Gu insect wants to create a stronger puppet body?"

[Wrong, Evil Gu Insect Clan itself is the operating system and driver of the flesh and blood vehicle. When integrated into the manufactured flesh and blood body, they will no longer be low-level parasitic puppet operators, but will evolve into a highly condensed consciousness cluster, a biological intelligence core that can perfectly harness the full potential of this new flesh and blood body.]

The process is simulated on the light curtain of Guidance.

Countless tiny evil Gu insects are fused and reorganized with the surging flesh and blood in the energy field of the furnace, just like chips being implanted into various parts of the body of the new body.

The connection between insects forms a complex structure similar to the neural network in the human body.

"I still don't understand, what's the difference between this and controlling a suture body?"

[The difference is very big. The project they are undertaking can be understood as a "family ascension" ceremony. The ambition of this group is not small. They are tired of having to mend among rotten corpses and wreckage, growing parasitically in the decaying bodies of others, and always relying on external forces to live. They want to use this Bloodstone furnace to completely get rid of the fragile insect body form, and upgrade the entire group from parasites to: controllers of perfect life forms.]

[Every insect swarm carrier born from this furnace will be a brand new life form composed of pure flesh and blood, pursuing a life form that is comparable to or even surpassing those of naturally powerful races. What they want is not to control corpses, but to become new gods.]

"Pure body? Isn't that us players?"

[Yes, the ultimate goal of the evil Gu insect is to create a perfect life form similar to the player, which can be integrated with any external force to achieve almost perfect growth potential.]

"Hiss, I didn't expect that in this Pale Continent corner of the dust, there is actually an insect that wants to transform into a dragon... He raised his family to the top and built his own divine body. He has such great courage and wild heart."
