    Chapter 595: Dead Village

    Of course, this is just Laura¡¯s opinion, and it is not yet certain. But no matter what, this matter cannot be taken lightly. After all, the army will enter the Moon Shadow Empire sooner or later, and this weird monster must be cleaned up.

    Dio and Laura once again crossed the border of the Moon Shadow Empire. To be honest, Dio couldn't help but feel a little excited when he first set foot on this land. After all, this is the most powerful empire on the entire continent, but this time  The feeling is not as strong as before, and the way of action is also different. At first, those teams all took advantage of the night to cross the border silently, but now, the Tsunami Legion will not react anyway, Dio and others  The saint-level powerhouse walked in completely openly, as casually as entering his own back garden.

    This can also be regarded as a test of the Tsunami Legion. In broad daylight, people like Dio did not make any cover-up. As long as the people of the Tsunami Legion are not blind, they will definitely discover the existence of these people.

    However, the final result is still very disappointing. The Tsunami Legion is still as silent as before. Except for a few flags fluttering in the wind, the entire military camp looks lifeless. If it weren't for the warriors walking around on the arrow tower,  Dio might even have thought it was an empty camp.

    "Could it be that the people from the Tsunami Legion already knew about the existence of this kind of monster, so they didn't rush out?  This doesn't seem to be a good explanation. If that's the case, the Tsunami Legion's better choice is to completely withdraw from the border, and all the people near the border should also be evacuated.

    Dio glanced at the Tsunami Legion¡¯s camp from a distance, and without thinking about it any further, he and Laura rushed straight to the small village from before.  According to Laura, the distance between the derivative body and the parent body cannot be too far, so Dio can only conduct a carpet search within the radius of that small village, and other saint-level powerhouses are also conducting the same search in other areas.  search.

    After more than half a day, Dio and Laura returned to the small village. Everywhere they could see were ruins and ruins. Most of the materials used by the people here to build houses were soil and hay, which could not withstand the flames.  .

    The villagers had long since fled without a trace. There was a dead silence in the whole village. In the center of the village, Dio's body split into two pieces was still lying quietly on the ground. The blood had dried up, and there was a faint smell of putridity in the air.  The weather is not very hot right now, otherwise I'm afraid this unpleasant smell will be even stronger.

    "Which side is more likely?" Dio asked Laura. Obviously Laura has a better say in this kind of matter.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know either.¡± Laura answered honestly.

    "You can choose any direction." In Dio's view, this is a matter of luck, but women's intuition is usually more accurate than men's.

    Laura hesitated for a moment and pointed to the southeast: ¡°Just over there.¡±

    The two walked there, because the derivatives could only rely on hearing to catch food. During this period, Laura was worried that Dio would blame her, so she deliberately explained that the range of activities of the derivatives radiates from the mother body to the surroundings. Of course,  , the foraging range can be far or near, but the important thing is that the two derivatives will basically not appear in the same place, so even if the route chosen by Laura deviates, it is very likely to encounter other derivatives  , so that it is easy to determine the position of the parent body.

    Dio doesn¡¯t care much. Laura¡¯s keen perception of monsters is unmatched by others. If Laura can¡¯t find the mother body, it will be impossible for others.

    There are many villages and towns on the border of the Moon Shadow Empire. From this, we can see how prosperous the Moon Shadow Empire is. Even on the border, the population in the interior is close to the imperial capital. The population will be denser. However, this time Dio did not pay attention to the villages and towns along the way.  To get started, the top priority is to find the mother body and confirm the quantity of this thing.

    Until midnight, Dio and Laura still found nothing. Under the moonlight, they could see a small village standing quietly in front of them. Dio turned his head and asked Laura for her opinion: "It's  Stay here for one night, or stay in the village?"

    "Just here." Laura's answer was as expected by Dio. After such a long time, this little girl has obviously still not been able to fully integrate into the current society. Except for a few people, she has been avoiding interacting with other people.  people to deal with.

    Dio naturally had no objection. He had survived much harsher conditions in the dark swamp, not to mention the current weather was not too cold.

    The two of them found an open space nearby, tidied it up briefly, and prepared to rest here.  But at this moment, Laura suddenly glanced at the small village in confusion, and wrinkled her nose slightly as if she smelled something.

    "How????  "Dio stopped what he was doing.

    "It's strange, the smell of blood there is a bit strong." After Laura said this, she didn't care and sat directly against a big tree. Maybe she felt that the trunk was a bit hard, and she dragged the cat lying on the side.  Come over and lean on Catboy.

    "You can smell it from such a distance?" Dio was a little curious. They were at least a few hundred meters away from the village. Even the best hounds couldn't have such a sensitive sense of smell.

    "Anyway, I just felt that the village was lifeless and uncomfortable." Laura rubbed against Mao Zai a few times, found a comfortable position and stopped moving.

    Dio thought for a while: "You go to bed first, I'll go take a look."

    "What's there to see?" Laura, who was already ready to fall asleep, looked at Dio doubtfully.

    "I suspect there are derivatives in the village."

    "If it is true, I will definitely be able to sense it." Laura felt that she had been slighted, and her eyes widened.

    "I didn't doubt your ability." Dio smiled: "Didn't you say it smells of blood? I just went to have a look. Maybe the derivative body came and then left. In that case, we would have to consider changing  One direction."

    "Then I'll go too." Laura jumped up, and Catboy, who was used as a pillow by Laura, also hurriedly got up and followed behind.

    Dio and Laura quickly approached the small village. As Laura said, the whole village was lifeless and there was no sound at all. This was obviously abnormal. With Dio's perception ability, it was already dead at such a distance.  Breathing could be heard, but there was only the slight sound of a few people's footsteps falling on the ground.

    Dio glanced around and found that the courtyard doors of several farmhouses were open, so he walked directly in. The courtyard was empty, and there were several obvious depressions on the ground. Dio was not unfamiliar with such depressions.  When he stepped on it, he found that the soil under his feet was extremely soft, and even with a little effort, the instep of his feet was completely gone. At this time, Dio could basically confirm that the derivative body had appeared here.

    Laura also realized something. She picked up a piece of dark black soil and smelled it. She looked up at Dio and said, "It smells the same as the derivative."

    Dio is a little speechless, can you hear this?  By the way, why didn¡¯t Laura have this special ability before?  Is it related to the second evolution?  But this is fine. If anyone gets lost in the future, let Laura be responsible for finding them. They will definitely be found.

    Laura thought Dio didn¡¯t believe it, so she anxiously and deliberately raised her tone: ¡°It¡¯s true.¡±

    "I know it's true." Dio nodded while holding back a smile and looked around: "But that thing shouldn't be here now. Let's go and take a look elsewhere."

    The result was just as Dio expected, all the people in the entire small village had disappeared, and even the livestock such as pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep were nowhere to be seen, turning it into a veritable dead village.

    "Can the derivative body digest so many things at one time?" Dio asked. No matter how small the village is, there are still more than twenty farmhouses. Even if it is less, there should be at least fifty or sixty people, plus livestock and poultry.  , taken together, it weighs tens of thousands of kilograms. Although the derivative is not small, it is impossible to swallow so many things.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know about this.¡± Laura shook her head.

    The two of them walked around the village, Dio deliberately stepped harder to make the ground rumble, but they never saw the shadow of the derivative body.

    "You said that the range of activity of the derivative body is centered on the mother body and radiates to the surroundings?" Dio finally gave up the plan of eliciting the derivative body.

    Laura nodded and added uneasily: "That should be the case. In fact, I have never seen derivatives before."

    Dio finally heard something was wrong this time and glanced at Laura in surprise: "You don't need to be so careful with me, right? No one has ever seen this kind of thing. Even if you are wrong, what can I do to you?"  Can¡¯t do it?¡±

    Laura just pursed her lips and smiled, then turned her head away without saying a word, which made Dio confused. What kind of reaction was this?

    Seeing that Laura didn't speak, Dio didn't want to continue asking. He calculated the location there and regarded the two villages where the derivatives appeared as two points on the same circle. Then the location of the center of the circle would not be difficult to find.  At least the direction is correct.

    After looking at the dead village, Dio and Laura returned to the place they had cleared before to rest. The two of them only slept for a few hours. As soon as day broke, they headed due south.

    Not far away, Dio found a military station. It was very small. It should be responsible for tasks such as delivering messages. The military station was also empty. This time, the traces were more obvious. The courtyard of the military station was covered with paving.  Bluestone slab, in the courtyardSeveral stone slabs had been lifted up and scattered around, exposing the soft soil underneath.

    Without Laura¡¯s confirmation, Dio already knew that this must be the work of a derivative, which undoubtedly proved that the route Dio chose was correct.

    Leaving the military station and walking forward, you can occasionally see some scattered farm tools on the road, and even a carriage that has been smashed into pieces. It seems that these things were eaten all the way, and they ate whatever they saw.
