As he walked, Dio suddenly felt a little hungry. Usually at this time, he would just let the cat catch two prey and bring them back. Dio and Laura didn't need to do anything. But as soon as Dio opened his mouth, Realizing a very serious problem, wherever the derivatives passed, all living creatures were swept away, not even the dregs were left. Where was the prey for them to catch?
Even if there are any surviving beasts, they may have escaped far away. The instincts of beasts are much more sensitive than humans.
Fortunately, Laura habitually carries some dry food with her, otherwise Dio would have to go to the deserted village to look for food. The cat obviously has no interest in these dry food, lying lazily on the side, his thick long The tail kept hitting the ground.
Dio and Laura were eating when Catboy suddenly jumped up from the ground. At the same time, Laura stopped what she was doing. Dio perked up and said, "Here?"
Laura nodded, and not long after, Dio saw a bulge on the ground in the distance, moving towards him quickly.
Dio threw the leftover dry food in his hand to Laura and strode forward to meet her.
Sensing Dio's footsteps, the small dirt bag on the ground moved faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, it rushed to Dio's feet. Dio flew back and jumped back. At the same time, a green light bloomed in his hand and struck hard. toward the ground.
Dio's calculations were quite accurate. Just before the green light was about to sink into the ground, the derivative body had already broken out of the ground, just in time to meet the air-breaking slash released by Dio. The huge green light easily cut into the huge derivative body. The body was opened, and the smelly juice burst out from the incision, which made people feel nauseous.
I don't know whether the angle of Dio's attack was deviated, or whether the posture of the derivative body rushing out was not correct. Dio's air-piercing slash did not neatly divide the derivative body into two pieces like last time, but just The smaller half of the body of the derivative body was cut off.
The most important thing is that last time it was at night, the light was not very sufficient, but now it is different. The large piece of squirming flesh and blood at the incision is clearly visible, and some places are still twitching and spraying black and red. Dio saw the blood and couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.
The body of the derivative twisted, bounced hard on the ground, and rushed towards Dio quickly. The violent movement involved the muscle tissue at the wound, and a rain of blood suddenly sprayed out.
Dio didn't want to tangle with this guy anymore. He first released an air-piercing slash, then quickly condensed a ball of light on his fingertips, and then blasted it out. After the violent roar, the fragments of the derivative body's residual limbs were scattered one after another. Falling towards the ground.
"Why break it?" Laura ran over, complaining about Dio.
"What's wrong?" Dio was a little surprised at Laura's reaction. Did he think he was too cruel? Probably not This girl is much more cruel than herself when she is crazy.
"How can I see how much nutrients it has absorbed?" Laura was a little unhappy.
"You" Dio opened his mouth, and couldn't help but recall the scene of Laura squatting among a pile of meat, rummaging through and picking. Her indifferent expression was exactly the same as that of an aunt buying vegetables in the market, and she also couldn't help but recall the scene. I know how this girl's nerves have been tempered to be so tough.
"Is this necessary?" Dio smiled bitterly.
"Why not?" Laura glared at Dio: "You can analyze how far it is from the mother body."
Dio was completely speechless. Let alone having Dio do it himself, just thinking about it made him feel uncomfortable. Laura actually had a soft spot for this job, but luckily, Dio smashed the derivative body to pieces. The remaining small part obviously has little research value, otherwise Laura would probably pounce on it again.
The two continued to move forward, this time their vigilance was a little higher, because Laura said that the two derivatives basically would not move in the same area, so what they would encounter next was likely to be The mother's body.
According to Laura's story, the strength of the mother body should be several times that of the derivative body, but Dio is not very worried. At most, he just can't beat him. There is no problem in escaping. How is it possible for a monster that needs external force to even eat? Posing a threat to a saint-level powerhouse?
The further Dio walked, the more frightened he became. Counting from the first village where the derivative body was found, Dio had walked hundreds of miles away, and there was not a single living creature anywhere he could see. If the mother body was allowed to remain like this, If it continues to multiply, won't the Moon Shadow Empire be wiped out sooner or later? However, Dio quickly rejected this idea in his heart. With Jun Tuming's wisdom, it was impossible not to think of this. Since Jun Tuming dared to put the mother body here, he must have some kind of control method.
Near dusk, Dio and the two walked through the woods and entered a wilderness. Since they were walking straight alongTraveling due south, they will always encounter various terrains, and the two of them have become accustomed to it. After looking at the sky, Dio and Laura quickened their pace. It was not a good idea to rest in the wilderness. There was not even a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Not far forward, a small hill appeared at the end of Dio's sight. Of course, due to the distance, Dio could not determine the height of the hill, but for some reason, Dio always felt that something was wrong, so he After taking a closer look, I finally found the problem. The grass in the entire field was green, but there was a strange yellowish color near the hills.
Of course, this didn't mean anything, and Dio didn't pay too much attention. He and Laura walked forward quickly. Gradually, the two of them got closer and closer to the hill, so close that Dio could already see the hill clearly. The overall picture is actually more like a mound. It is just a relatively large mound. There is not even a root of grass on it. It just stands there so barely, looking a little out of place with the surrounding vibrant wilderness.
Dio frowned, and the suspicion in his heart became stronger and stronger. At this moment, Laura and Mao Zai suddenly stopped at the same time. Laura's eyes lit up, and she stared into the distance without blinking. The cat's reaction was even more intense. His forelimbs were lowered, his waist was arched high, and his thick long tail was swinging anxiously behind him, making the ground crackle.
There was no need to ask, the reactions of Laura and Mao Zai had already explained Dio's doubts very well. Dio observed for a while, but there was no movement on the hill, so he turned to look at Laura: "The mother's body is not hidden. Is it underground?"
¡°I don¡¯t know either.¡± Laura shook her head.
Dio then remembered that the mother body in Laura¡¯s impression had always lived in the ocean.
"You guys stay here, I'll go take a look first." Dio said as he walked slowly towards the hill in the distance. Since he was here, he had to give it a try.
"I want to go too!" Laura pursed her lips and followed closely behind Dio. Naturally, Catboy was not to be far behind. He spread his wings and rushed into the sky, and kept making low roars from his mouth.
"I'm going to explore the road, okay?" Dio felt helpless, then looked at the cat in the air: "Come back here!"
Contrary to Dio's expectations, Mao Zai didn't listen to Dio's words this time, and rushed directly to the sky above the hill, circling non-stop, as if he was trying to pounce.
"What's going on?" Dio looked at Laura suspiciously. In his memory, the only time the cat boy showed such a strong desire to attack was when he encountered the two-headed snake in the dark swamp.
Laura's eyes looked very excited: "There should be something in the mother's body that she is interested in." It's no wonder that Laura is excited. Since Catboy completed his second evolution, he is not very interested in star fragments. Of course, for The interest in the star core is still very strong, but Dio cannot be so luxurious as to feed the star core to the cat, so Laura will not be happy to see the cat finally finding something that can improve its strength.
"No, it's too dangerous." Dio still disagreed. Both he and Mao Zai were easy to talk about and had an absolute advantage in speed. Although Laura's speed was not slow, her inability to fly was her flaw. After all, she was facing It is better to be more cautious when dealing with an unknown monster.
"If you can call Mao Zi back, then I will listen to you." A sly smile appeared on Laura's lips.
Dio glared at Laura angrily. What kind of condition was this? Even now, Catboy would not be able to disobey Laura's orders and obey him, let alone now.
"I can take you there, but you can't be the first to do it." Dio warned, it doesn't matter if he takes Laura with him. In terms of pure destructive power, Dio is indeed not as good as Laura. As long as he is careful, he should be fine.
Laura nodded repeatedly, and Dio glanced at Catboy in the air. Fortunately, Catboy was not impulsive enough to launch an attack on his own.
Dio and Laura were not moving very fast, and Dio deliberately aggravated the sound of their footsteps. There must be derivatives around the mother body. Dio decided to deal with all the derivatives first, and then deal with the mother body. On the one hand, he eliminated To avoid worries, on the other hand, you can also test the mother's reaction.
As Dio and Laura approached, several bulges appeared on the ground under the hill, quickly moving towards Dio's location.
Dio glanced at it and saw that there were three derivatives in total. It seemed that the other derivatives were out looking for food.
"It can't be delayed for too long. When the mother body senses danger, it will immediately recall all the derivatives." Laura said from the side, with a look of eagerness.
Dio originally planned to deal with these three derivatives by himself, but changed his mind after hearing Laura's words: "You stand still for now, I will lure them out, and then you will be responsible for one."
Laura naturally doesn¡¯tThere will be objections. Dio took a few steps forward and was about five meters away from Laura. At this distance, Laura would not be accidentally injured and could join the battle immediately.
Dio tapped the ground lightly with his toes. When the three moving bulges were about to rush to Dio's feet, Dio flew back. This time Dio did not rush to take action. He waited until the derivative body was completely out of the ground. It's not too late to take action, lest you fail to kill him with one blow like the previous two times.
Amidst the continuous banging sounds, three thick black shadows broke out of the ground and rushed straight towards Dio.
Dio waved his hands together and threw out two air-piercing slashes. At this time, Laura also moved. She had put on the gloves on her hands at some point, leaving an afterimage of her figure in the air, and rushed forward quickly. To the derivative closest to itself. ro! .
