But what Dio didn't expect was that this monster beast, which Laura called "Yu", was extremely tenacious. Half of its body was blown away, and the remaining half of the bloody body could still move. It was twisted in pain at first. Once, and then with a sharp bounce, he continued to rush towards Dio.
Is this okay? Dio looked at the squirming muscle tissue at the monster's wound and the blood splashing in the air. He felt indescribably disgusted. Dio would rather face dozens or hundreds of enemies than fight such a monster. .
Seeing the monster rushing forward, Dio flew back, and at the same time released the air-piercing slash. The huge green light cut straight into the monster's body, splitting the monster into two pieces from the beginning to the end, and a thick black-red liquid fountain It gushes out like water and flows on the ground, and broken organs can be vaguely seen in it.
This time the monster finally stopped moving. Only the muscle tissue at the incision was still twitching slightly. Dio walked over and took a closer look. The monster's body was covered with a layer of thick short hairs, or tentacles. , it seems that they rely on these things to move quickly in the soil.
¡°What do you think this thing is called?¡± Dio turned to look at Laura.
Laura squatted down and turned her hands over the thick, short hair on the monster's body without feeling dirty at all. After a while, she nodded: "Yes, it's the death."
While Laura was talking, her men kept on turning the monster's body over and began to pull out its organs. Dio frowned: "You don't have to look so carefully, do you?"
Laura stubbornly shook her head and continued the movements in her hands. Soon her delicate hands were covered with smelly blood, but Laura didn't notice it at all. Her face was indifferent. Some of the warriors around her could not help but run away. He vomited heavily to the side. These warriors are all elites in the legion. It is not that they have never seen bloody masters, but the scene in front of them is really shocking, especially Laura's delicate and beautiful face and the bloody body. The shapes of the bodies together gave them a strong visual impact.
To be honest, Dio felt a little uncomfortable, but he had to show off in front of so many warriors, so he could only stare and watch Laura rummaging around.
After a while, Laura finally stopped what she was doing and stood up. The warriors around her, including Dio, all breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, dinner had already been eaten, otherwise after witnessing this scene, I'm afraid No one would have the appetite to eat.
"What did you find?" Dio noticed that Laura's expression seemed a little worried.
"This is just a derivative, but the mother body must not be far from here." Laura's two eyebrows were tangled together: "If the mother body is not killed, there will only be more and more such derivatives."
At this time, the clever samurai brought water for Laura to wash her hands. Laura washed it several times before the blood was cleaned up.
"What?" Dio was surprised: "And the maternal body?"
Laura nodded and explained to Dio in detail. It turns out that the reason why this kind of monster called Yu is terrifying is because it can continuously produce small derivatives. The movement of the mother body is extremely slow. It completely relies on the derivatives to find food for the mother body. In the Nagara Sea north of the glacier, the meteor can undoubtedly be regarded as an overlord-level monster. Once the number of derivatives reaches a certain number, it can even control an entire area. sea ??area.
"But I've never heard that meteorites can move on land before." Laura was puzzled: "There must be something wrong."
Dio thought for a while: "Has anyone in your tribe ever tamed such a monster?"
"It's impossible." Laura immediately shook her head: "The mother body of Yun moves too slowly, and it is useless to tame it. Moreover, these derivatives can't do anything except forage, and they are simply uncontrollable."
"Uncontrollable?" Dio frowned and pondered. Just now, the derivative body killed many villagers in the village. Dio made a little noise and immediately attracted the derivative body. It was indeed not like that. He looks very intelligent.
But Dio couldn't figure it out. It was impossible for a monster living far north of the glacier to appear here for no reason. Dio didn't need to guess hard to know that someone must have moved such a thing here on purpose. The problem was Why did the other party do this?
Uncontrollable means uncertainty. Putting this kind of thing on the battlefield can only lead to a lose-lose ending. Therefore, Dio feels that this is not like Jun Tuming's handiwork. Of course, if these derivatives can As for control, that's a different story.
Since he couldn¡¯t figure out the reason, Dio put the question aside: ¡°Can you find the mother body?¡±
¡°Let¡¯s give it a try.¡± Laura was a little unsure: ¡°As long as it¡¯s far away??If I'm close enough, I can lock on to the mother body, but if I'm too far away, there's nothing I can do. "
"What about tracking the derivatives? Didn't you say that these derivatives are tools used to find food for the mother? Then they will always return to the mother, right?"
"It's also possible, but the premise is that the derivative body takes in enough food."
After hearing Laura¡¯s answer, Dio had a headache. If the derivatives were just catching some livestock such as cattle and sheep, he could stand by and watch, but this guy was obviously careless. He couldn¡¯t just watch a living person being eaten, right?
"By the way, how are you sure it's not the mother's body?" Dio remembered the scene of Laura rummaging through the bloody pile of flesh just now, and quickly pushed that image out of his mind.
"I heard my grandpa mention this kind of monster. The shape of the mother body and the derivative body are exactly the same, but they are different in size. The biggest difference is that the mother body has a heart and brain, but the derivative body does not. Specifically, the derivative body is like the mother body. A digestive organ that breaks down prey into nutrients needed by the mother.¡±
"That is to say, the derivative body needs to digest the food first and then send it back to the mother body?" Dio suddenly realized, and then suddenly remembered something: "Did those people just now have the derivative body that hasn't had time to digest it?"
"Those people can't survive." Laura shook her head: "The derivative body injects venom into the prey, and even the walrus cannot resist the venom."
The fire in the small village was still not extinguished. The surviving villagers were trembling in the corner. No one jumped out to resist. The appearance of derivatives has offset their fear of intruders like Dio, at least people like Dio. They are all human beings like them, and they don't look so ferocious.
Dio thought about it for a while, and instead of rushing to find the mother body that was hidden somewhere, he took the people back to the coalition camp first. Dio suspected that there might be more than one of these things, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence? , just let myself encounter it.
"There is such a thing?!" Hearing Dio's description, even Darthwood, a divine warrior, found it a bit unbelievable. There are tenacious monsters in nature, but they can still attack after half of their bodies are blown away. It's very rare. What's especially serious is that this is just a derivative, so how powerful should the mother body be?
"Take the people back first." Schloss thought for a moment and then made a decision. Although the number of such perverted monsters cannot be determined now, it is obviously not something that ordinary warriors can deal with. The warriors under his command can die. On the battlefield, they must not become food for monsters without knowing it. That would undoubtedly be a shame for a warrior.
"We need to be more cautious. I suspect that this was done by Jun Tuming." Mo Lin thought more long-term: "It's time for us old guys to take action. Let's take a look separately. At least we must ensure that we are on the road to the imperial capital. This kind of thing cannot happen.¡±
"Isn't it possible? There is no distinction between friend and foe of this kind of derivative, and it can kill even the villagers." Dio was skeptical.
Mo Lin smiled: "It seems that you don't know much about the Permafrost Glacier. Saint-level experts with slightly lower strength may not dare to go too deep there, let alone the Nagara Sea at the end of the glacier. You have also seen that The derivative body is so powerful, do you think it is possible for ordinary people to transport a living mother body here?"
Dio thought for a moment, and indeed, it would be difficult for one or two people to do it. Even a saint-level powerhouse would not be able to do it. The size of the mother body would be at least several times larger than the derivative body. Even a wind-type saint-level powerhouse would not be able to do it. It's impossible to carry such a big thing and fly. It's possible to drag it. The question is how long does it take to get out of the permanently frozen glacier?
Mo Lin¡¯s meaning is obvious. It requires at least the participation of several saint-level experts and even divine warriors to bring the mother body back. In the Moon Shadow Empire, only Jun Tuming can mobilize such a large lineup.
Darthwood nodded in agreement with Mo Lin: "We have always wondered why Jun Tuming launched a war at this time. Now it seems that if the strength of the parent body can reach several times that of the derivative body, then it will be easily explained. As long as There are enough of these things that ordinary soldiers have no room to resist."
"Why didn't Jun Tuming wait until this kind of thing multiplied to a certain number before launching a war?" Someone raised doubts.
"Maybe it's because of the food." Laura, who was standing next to Dio, suddenly whispered.
"What?" Some people didn't hear clearly.
So Dio repeated it for Laura.
¡°Tell me, why do you think so?¡± Maureen looked at Laura with encouraging eyes.
Dio also patted Laura gently and told her to just say it and don¡¯t worry.
Although Laura completed the second time in MaoziAfter evolution, there is no language barrier, but this is the first time to speak in front of so many people, so I can't help but feel a little nervous. After dilly-dallying for a while, I dared to speak: "The mother's food intake increases according to the number of derivatives. Yes, the more offspring there are, the more food the mother takes in. It may not be much in the sea, but there are not so many things for them to eat on land."
??Everyone looked at each other, a little difficult to face this result. Could it be that the real reason why Jun Tuming launched the war at this time was to create food for this monster? !
