Chapter 598: Heart Rat (Fourth Update for Alliance Leader Stigmata Kevin)
Today is the third day of the Nightmare Evil Thoughts.
If there are no accidents, the evil thoughts will dissipate completely today or tomorrow.
To test whether the evil thoughts have dissipated, this kind of thing has always been done by the warriors of the Yiluan Division.
The reason why the three Siping envoys were in such a hurry to summon Zhou Fan and them over was because the martial artists below said that the evil thoughts were suspected to have dissipated in a simple test conducted in the morning on the area polluted by evil thoughts.
The reason why I say suspicious is because the test is too simple to confirm.
However, the preliminary test results were enough for Gu Yuquan and the three of them to summon Zhou Fan and them.
The people did not consult long in the main tent before they moved out of the tent, and what they had to do now was to make sure once and for all that the evil thoughts had dissipated.
The people came out of the tent and did not stop until they had walked a hundred feet on foot and stopped at the white lines drawn by white powder on the ground.
The other side of the white line was silent.
It has been roughly confirmed before, and outside the three zhang of the white line, it is the area where evil thoughts are enveloped.
"Bring the heart rat. Gu Yuquan said.
There was a warrior carrying a square iron cage, and in the cage was a red-haired mouse as big as a kitten, with a short tail only two knuckles long, and it had dark red pupils, and it was circling in the cage.
Zhou Fan looked at the spirit beast known as the heart mouse in the cage.
After discussing in the tent just now, he had already learned that this was the spirit beast that Yiluan Si had brought with a lot of effort after receiving the news of the appearance of the nightmare.
The Heart Rat is unique, and its ability to survive in the wild lies in its ability to control some small beasts that are not very small, which is a kind of mental power.
Its ability doesn't work against humans or even some of the larger beasts, but it's unique enough.
It is precisely because of this mental ability that it is the most suitable means to test whether the evil thoughts have dissipated.
As long as it is placed in the area covered by evil thoughts, if the evil thoughts do not dissipate, because of the innate nature of the mind, it is very sensitive to evil thoughts, and it will be easily eroded by evil thoughts and die quickly.
I haven't used the heart mouse to detect evil thoughts, because the incident happened in a hurry, and Yiluan Si only collected five heart rats, and they couldn't be used indiscriminately.
The heart rat will only be used if the evil thought seems to have dissipated.
As you can know from the heart mouse, Yi Luan Si is not ignorant of the nightmare, the problem is that it was too late to confirm the appearance of the nightmare before, otherwise it would not have led to the tragedy of Yang Zhaili.
The warrior put the cage on the ground, he opened the cage, and the heart rat ran out of it.
It kept running outside the white line.
The warrior held in his hand a barely visible silk thread, which was tied to the heart mouse's leg.
The heart rat doesn't always run in a straight line, but when it goes crooked, the warrior will shake the silk thread and pull the heart rat back.
The heart rat can only keep changing directions to escape.
After pulling like this several times, the heart rat finally entered the area three feet away.
Zhou Fan and Gu Yuquan looked at the heart rat in silence.
The heart rat quickly ran out of the four feet...... Wuzhang ......
The silk thread had come to an end, pulling the heart mouse, the heart mouse could not move forward, but could only run back and forth within five zhang, it stopped from time to time, sniffing the green grass with its sharp mouse mouth.
Zhou Fan and the others looked at the running heart mouse, and after a while, the heart mouse did not show any signs of being eroded by evil thoughts, so they could not bear it and collapsed and died.
When the nightmare erupts, it will intensify over time, and then be annihilated in a very short time.
If the evil thoughts do not dissipate, the moment the heart rat enters the range of evil thoughts, it will die immediately.
But now that so much time has passed, nothing happens, which shows that the evil thoughts have completely dissipated.
The heart rat was pulled back by the silk thread, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal in its body, Gu Yuquan ordered in a deep voice: "Let everyone get ready, and set off to clear the nightmare spirit." ”
......
In the land that was once shrouded in evil thoughts, those villages, grasslands, mountains, rivers, and the ground are gradually rotting and stinking human corpses, beast corpses, and strange corpses of strange shapes.
The corpse, which had not moved at all, began to swell up when the first golden rays of light shone on the earth.
The corpse continued to swell towards the ground, until it could no longer support the sound of 'porphyry', as if the cloth was cracked, and a hole was cracked, and a blue-gray light came out of the cracks of the corpse.
The blue-gray light grew bigger and bigger, like bubbles that had been blown up, and the bubbles continued to dissolve and become what they were when they were alive.
It's just that their bodies are blue-gray light, like a thin mist of light.
The blue-gray hazy body still had all kinds of liquid left on the corpse, and they seemed to bring new life to the bright morning light.
They stared blankly at the golden sun rising in the sky.
Those blue-eyed, white-gray eyes gradually became more energetic, exuding great malice.
They ignored their companions, did not care about the rancid corpse fluid on their bodies, and instead ran forward like a blue-gray shadow.
It's just that when they run to the ten-zhang line, they can't help but stop, looking at the empty shell they have drilled out, they show a look of doubt, but they soon know from their innate genetic knowledge that they will have to stay with their shell and spend ten days in their juvenile period.
Even if they moved the husks, they still had to stay within 10 feet of their original spawn point.
They quickly came to terms with this fact, and some began to look around for something to defend themselves against, while others went straight underground, trying to hide inside the perilous ten-day juvenile period.
But they emerge from the ground quickly, as they cannot stay too deep underground.
The earth derives a large amount of life breath, nourishing everything on the earth, and it is a disservice to their illusory bodies.
The Nightmare who tried to burrow into the ground had no choice but to think of another way.
They have a certain amount of intelligence, not as crazy as they were before they died, but they are more powerful.
They are cruel and cold, neither attacking their visible companions, but also ignoring them indifferently and without any intention of communicating.
The Nightmare began to crumble a tree with its illusory body, and sliced one end of the tree into the tip of it with its sharp claws.
There were spirits carrying boulders.
Different forms of Nightmare Spirits have their own preparations.
The Strange Nightmare still retains most of their talents, and their bodies have become stronger and harder to damage than before.
The human Nightmare Spirit and the Beast Nightmare Spirit were all preparing while quickly comprehending and digesting the innate talent they possessed when they turned into Nightmare Spirits.
All the Nightmare were prepared, for their keen senses were constantly telling them that danger was imminent.
It's coming.
Either they kill those who try to kill them, or those who kill them.
Their blue-gray pupils slowly turned with malice, wary of any enemies that might appear in their line of sight.
