Epoch of Twilight

Looking through the forked branches of the silicified wood, Luo Yuan's expression was serious. This was a strange life he had never seen before.

Different from those ordinary mutated creatures, although the shape, size and even abilities of these lives have undergone overwhelming changes since the end of the world, they are still classified as beings that can be recognized by ordinary people.

For example, a beast is still a beast after it mutates, a bird is still a bird after it mutates, and an insect is still an insect after it mutates.

But this mysterious life completely overturned Luo Yuan's cognition, making Luo Yuan extremely afraid.

At this time, the pool of mercury lake changed again!

At the edge of the lake, a two-meter-wide vortex gradually appeared. The vortex was very deep. From a distance, it was about five meters deep, but the bottom was still invisible. Considering that the vortex was close to the edge of the lake, it meant that the lake Very deep, with its area of ​​about one square kilometer, this mysterious creature is obviously an unimaginable colossus.

A few seconds later, a ball began to emerge from the top of the vortex. As time went by, a human head gradually emerged as if it were 3D printed, followed by the neck, torso, limbs, and finally even the clothes. Appear.

What makes one's heart chill is that this human body is lifelike, detailed and realistic, even the scar on the face is exactly the same, if it is not covered in silver and white, it is almost the same as a real person.

Seeing this figure appearing, Wu Qianru suddenly looked terrified and struggled desperately. However, the "mercury" under her body seemed to have a strong stickiness, clinging to her tightly, no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't move.

"It seems that this is the vice-captain!" Looking at the scene in the distance, Luo Yuan's eyes were solemn, and he was thoughtful.

This mercury lake does not seem to have a real form. Its main ability is probably to copy, copy all the creatures it captures. It was trapped underground before, and there is no life here, except for the creature that looks like a snake or an earthworm. No other creatures were encountered.

Therefore, the only thing it could transform before was the snake or earthworm. It was not until it captured the second life, human beings, that it began to transform into a human form.

The "deputy captain" was expressionless, and as soon as he got ashore, he ran forward like the mercury earthworm. He had already had some guesses. The purpose of this mysterious life was probably to break free from the cage and find a way out.

Luo Yuan's face was cloudy and cloudy. This place is located inside the reconstruction area. If it were allowed to leave here, Luo Yuan could hardly imagine it.

Once it is given enough time, it can develop a huge army, and as more and more lives are eroded by it, its size will further expand. If it is not killed in time and the situation deteriorates, Human beings who have been struggling to support it may be hit hard.

He looked at the "clone" mercury lake that was still brewing in the distance, and frowned.

In the face of such a huge and mysterious life, the saber technique he is proud of is useless at all, and the saber can do no harm to this kind of fluid life.

Even if he took a step back, he could kill one or two of them, or even hundreds or thousands of clones, but he still couldn't face its huge body.

Reason told him that he must return to Hope City immediately and report the situation here to the higher-ups in time.

And up to now, he hasn't accepted the task, and leaving won't hurt him at all. As for Wu Qianru, it was a chance meeting, and before that, he didn't know each other at all.

Even if he died, he didn't feel any guilt!

He has never been a caring person, and rescue is within his ability. He will not risk his life to save others.

He glanced regretfully at Wu Qianru in the distance, then quickly floated up and flew towards the top of his head. He felt a little anxious in his heart. After a while, three "humanoid" clones formed and ran towards four directions. .

However, after flying for less than half a minute, he suddenly stopped and looked to the left.

A humanoid avatar is quickly climbing on the rock wall. Its speed is extremely fast, like a flexible ape, with a liquid body. When it touches the rock wall, it seems to generate a kind of adsorption force, even if the rock wall It is almost parallel to the ground, and it has no effect on it.

The shackles of the snake-shaped body make it impossible to leave here forever, but the human-shaped clone formed this time presents an opportunity to break free from the cage.

"We must not let this avatar leave here!" Luo Yuan's face suddenly changed. Once the main body finds the exit and escapes here, the consequences will be unimaginable, and he has no idea whether the avatar can form an independent individual, but as long as there is a slight possibility, He doesn't even want to gamble.

He approached the rock wall silently, and then kicked his feet suddenly, and his body shot toward it like an arrow from the string. The life of living underground made it lose its basic sense of crisis, until Luo Yuan drew his knife out of its sheath, the light of the knife died in a fright, and separated its head and body, it did not respond at all.

However, it was useless at all. This mercury-like liquid was extremely dense and viscous. When Luo Yuan cut it with a knife, the wound began to glue together quickly, but he had already expected it in his heart and did not panic at all.

Before it could react, countless saber lights flashed instantly, and a hazy brilliance suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.

Throat, temple, heart, buttocks... The knife light was like a storm, almost in no particular order, and wiped across in an instant. In less than a second, this humanoid clone was slashed sixty to seventy times.

It was replaced by a normal creature, which was already dead and could not die again. Unfortunately, the effect was very limited, and it was even unscathed. As soon as the attack stopped, the opponent's wound had already healed.

"I don't believe it. I can't deal with the main body, and I can't deal with a clone." Luo Yuan was shocked, but more angry.

Since entering the reconstruction zone, although he lived comfortably most of the time, his strength has not stopped growing. On the contrary, due to the transformation period, his strength has grown faster than before.

Compared with when he first entered the reconstruction zone, facing green-level creatures, he was almost dead, and now he is eager to try against dark-green-level creatures, his strength has increased by more than ten times.

However, facing this clone which is only a seventh-level life form at this time, with its unique self-healing ability, it makes him helpless, so how can it not make him angry.

After being hacked so many times, the humanoid clone finally came to his senses and tried to attack, but was slashed by Luo Yuan again.

He took a deep breath and quickly calmed down. The strength of this clone is not strong, it is only between the dark blue level and the light green level. To Luo Yuan at this time, it is not worth mentioning at all. The key is how to kill it.

At this time Luo Yuan was not in a hurry to go back, he started experimenting.

The first is the sword of will, but it has some effect. It cut off its head with a single knife, and rolled down. There was no blood or other liquid flowing out of the wound. The incision was smooth and lost its fluidity. It looked like a piece of metal. Moreover, after being cut by the will, the wound showed no sign of healing at all, and the edges seemed to have been destroyed by the will, completely losing its vitality.

But for this kind of fluid life, the head is just a decoration, without the head, it has no effect on it, and it can still be alive and kicking.

Instead, Luo Yuan became interested. Like peeling a carrot, he peeled off the "mercury" piece by piece from its body, each piece was as thin as a cicada's wing.

In a few seconds, it was only half a meter tall, but what shocked Luo Yuan was that it was still "alive". When the other party was left with only a palm-sized body, it suddenly curled up into a ball, and then Completely stop the movement.

Luo Yuan tried a few times, and seeing that there was no danger, he picked it up and put it in his palm.

It is cold and very heavy. This small ball with a diameter of about ten centimeters is a perfect sphere and weighs about five kilograms. It is almost the same as an iron ball, and it is unknown what elements it is composed of.

Compared with the slow flow when it is active, it is very hard at this time, but if you hold it tightly, it is slightly elastic, which is very strange.

Luo Yuan flew down and landed on the ground. There were already a lot of silver balls piled up underneath. Luo Yuan glanced around, and soon found the head that fell, but at this time the head had already transformed into a three-four A ten-centimeter-tall mini-figure, desperately trying to escape from the main body, but how could it escape. After one slash, it turned into two almost identical silver balls.

With a thought in his heart, he used an identification technique on one of the silver balls.
