Thirteenth month of death

Chapter 163 Weak Energy

Chapter 163 Weak Energy
Tang Lun and the other two were full of worries.

"I've never heard of such a large human settlement deep in the Miro Valley."

Yan Yide looked at everything around him and couldn't help but be amazed.

"Zhang Hai, what do you think?" Tang Lun asked.

Zhang Hai hasn't spoken for a long time.

The three of them had originally accepted the prophet's order to come to the Miro Valley to search for the newly born royal pest, but now for some reason, they were trapped in a human gathering place in the Miro Valley.

At this moment, Zhang Hai came back to his senses when he heard Tang Lun calling him.

He shook his head slightly: "I..."

Looking at this, how could the other two people who already knew each other not see that he was worried?

Tang Lun asked, "Did you find something difficult to talk about?"

Zhang Hai stared at the ground in a daze, without saying a word.

"Tell me, no matter what it is, we'll face it together." Tang Lun smiled. "We're not even afraid of death, so what are you worried about?"

Zhang Hai finally spoke. He took off the instrument he had been wearing and handed it to Tang Lun: "Look for yourself."

This is the life detector that Zhang Hai carries. It can detect life energy, but the manifestation of life energy in the instrument is just a waveform. Whether it is animals, plants, insects, humans... the difference in the waveform is actually not that big, and it requires special courses to barely recognize it.

This is also the reason why Zhang Hai was the only one who brought this instrument, because he learned this subject very well.

Tang Lun said nothing. After taking the instrument and putting it on, he immediately saw the life energy around him.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Tang Lun couldn't see the problem.

But at this time, Zhang Hai whispered: "Although there is life energy everywhere in the entire gathering place, the energy fluctuations are very small. These energy fluctuations... cannot even be compared with those of taller plants."

Tang Lun and Yan Yide looked at each other, seeing the confusion in each other's eyes, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Hai took a deep breath and looked at the two of them. "What I mean is that the life energy of the entire Tanlong gathering place combined is not even as much as that of us strangers who have come in. They... don't look like they are still alive."

"You mean, it's haunted?" Yan Yide widened his eyes.

"I don't know." Zhang Hai shook his head. This was also the reason why he had been thinking about it all the way.

He really couldn't understand why the life energy of all the people he saw was so low.

This level of life energy is almost as insignificant as a blade of grass. How could it be emitted from the body of a living person?
unless……

"What did you think of?" Tang Lun noticed the change in Zhang Hai's expression.

Zhang Hai looked at the occasional passersby around him and whispered, "I just thought of something. Living people can indeed emit very low levels of life energy."

"What is it?" Both of them couldn't help but ask, this was really weird.

"There are two possibilities. Either this person is seriously ill, or... this person is on the verge of death."

"Oh, if you ask me, why don't we just catch someone and study him?" Yan Yide muttered.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Hai and Tang Lun nodded at the same time: "Okay."

All three of them are good people, but that is only true for the people in the Red Sun Gathering Area.

These three people have never been soft-hearted towards other opposing gathering places or strange phenomena that pose a threat.

After looking around, Zhang Hai chose a house with the weakest life energy and rushed in quickly while no one was paying attention.

The house was pitch black.

If the life detector had not shown the faint life energy here, they would even doubt whether there was anyone living here.

The three of them turned on their headlights and finally illuminated the environment inside the house.

It is no exaggeration to say that this room is bare. Not only is there nothing in it, but it is also filled with a faint but lingering stench.

"over there!"

Zhang Hai was wearing a life detector and could see the fluctuations of life energy. At this moment, he suddenly warned. Suddenly, a figure rushed over from deep inside the residence!
Tang Lun pulled out the dagger, and with a flash of cold light, he cut the other person's neck cleanly and neatly.

With a "thump", the figure fell to the ground.

The three of them circled around with their headlights on, illuminated the area, and looked down.

This was indeed a person, and a woman whose neck had been cut.

Tang Lun was ruthless and showed no mercy.

But soon the three of them saw a strange scene.

The woman lying on the ground and trembling was actually wriggling rapidly under her skin, as if something was about to come out.

Her body was rapidly becoming hunched, shriveled and deformed.

Soon, under the eyes of the three people, the woman turned into a large insect with a pair of transparent cicada wings and a blue-black body.

"It's dead."

Zhang Hai said.

Wearing a life detector, he could see it clearly. The moment the woman turned into a bug, the last bit of her life energy dissipated.

"What...is this? A parasitic worm?" Yan Yide said in disbelief.

Zhang Hai and Tang Lun shook their heads subconsciously. The three of them were quite knowledgeable and had encountered countless different types of insects.

But it was the first time they had seen this strange insect that could change from human form to insect form.

"Could it be a mimicry insect?" Tang Lun also guessed in a low voice.

"The mimicking insects have extremely strong life energy. It takes a huge amount of life energy to maintain the human form. The life energy I have seen is not enough for them to maintain the human form." Zhang Hai said.

Tang Lun and Yan Yide thought about it and decided that if that was the case, then it couldn't be a mimicry pest.

The life energy of all humans in the entire Tanlong gathering place is extremely weak, so weak that if they are insects in disguise, they cannot maintain their human form at all.

But if they are not mimic insects, why do these humans turn into insects?
This is really weird...

"what?"

Zhang Hai suddenly looked up at the ceiling.

"wrong!"

Zhang Hai suddenly rushed out of the room and continued to look up at the sky.

"The life energy of the woman who just died hasn't dissipated. It's... escaping?!"

How is this possible? Life energy is just the purest form of energy, and it has no independent consciousness. How could it possibly escape?

But it was impossible for Zhang Hai to lie, so it could only be that people like us were short-sighted.

Or rather, it was the newly born...royal pest.

Only the new royal pests have the potential to develop unprecedented strange abilities.

Perhaps, it includes absorbing life energy.

If that’s the case, then if we follow him, wouldn’t we be able to find the newly born royal pest?
The three of them exchanged glances and made the same decision.

Chase after him.

They immediately followed Zhang Hai, and Zhang Hai tracked the trace of that ray of life energy.

However, no one noticed that everywhere they passed, the people in the Tanlong gathering place stopped their "work".

They all turned their heads to look at them.

If they turned around, they could see...

Expressionless faces and dead eyes were looking at their backs.
