The old man's thin face was extremely shriveled, as if a dead tree that had lost its breath of life was full of cracks, and the skin on his face exploded like fish scales, and many hard shells resembling abnormal cuticles appeared.

It can be seen from the cracks in the hard crust of the **** layer of the exploded skin that there seems to be some kind of "plant" growing in it, and the abnormal changes in the surface of the skin are also due to the growth of the tentacles of the plants' branches and stems. The skin is lifted up...

The eyes became a pair of blood-colored holes covered with weeds and dead branches, and the nasal cavity was in a state of severe ulceration. The flesh and blood had been rotten away, and most of the bones had been self-dissolved, and the curve of the bridge of the nose could not be seen at all.

This is not a face that humans should have.

"Is my induction wrong?" Chen Xian yanked the blade out of the old man's neck, and almost instinctively backed a few steps, pulling the distance between himself and him as quickly as possible, "Obviously. How could the vital signs of a living person look like this?"

The vital signs of an abnormal human life are different from those of a living human. No matter how similar it is, some things in the bones cannot be changed or concealed, such as the most basic, the rhythm of breathing, the frequency of heartbeat, and even the blood flow rate that can be sensed at close range. ...These are all important factors that distinguish living people from abnormal lives.

Before that, Chen Xian had been careful when approaching the old man, and he had also determined that the old man had normal human vital signs, not an abnormal life, so he dared to cut it directly...

"Hey...are you coming to grab the longevity ground from me..."

The old man laughed strangely. The scales and dead skin on his face were all packed together, which looked like an enlarged version of a toad. While he grinned and smiled, Chen Xian also found the teeth in his mouth. It's gone, and the tongue is gone, and the mouth is empty like a bottomless black hole. It can speak so clearly without a tongue...It really can't be regarded as a human.

"Eternal Land?"

Chen Xian noticed this key word and couldn't help but look around for a while, only to find that there was a talisman circle about two meters in diameter under the old man's feet, and the position where it was sitting cross-legged was exactly the center of the game. Area, and it's very likely that it's an eyeball there!

But at this moment, Chen Xian suddenly noticed something else, and he couldn't help but turn his attention away from the ground formation and cast his gaze into a pool not far away.

The smell of Chinese medicine that permeated the air before was actually emitted from this pool of water.

The pool was filled with thick, greasy, oily black liquid. Chen Xian was really familiar with these strange black waters, because he saw it in the underground cave during the mission operation of the Wushan Mental Hospital not long ago. After passing this kind of thing, and lying in a device similar to a nutrition chamber, soaked in these liquids for a while.

"How come there is black water here..." Chen Xian's eyes widened, and his previously calm expression was no longer visible. Instead, he was shocked.

After the mission of the mental hospital, Chen Xian also analyzed many doubts about the case, such as what is the black water, combined with the clues found in the underground cave (or laboratory), Chen Xian probably analyzed those The reason why black water is called nutrient solution by the organization behind the mental hospital should be because they are some kind of liquid that can supply human nutrition and have special effects, and from the perspective of the pipeline extending to the ground...those The nature of the liquid should be very special.

According to Huo Fatty, there is a closed underground space in the deeper part of the underground cave. There is also a pool. The pipes extending from the cave are interspersed in that pool. Maybe they are used to extract the black water. facility.

As for whether the liquids are man-made, Chen Xian has not yet found the answer to this question.

Assuming that the liquids are man-made, then this disaster... will it be related to the organization behind the scenes?

If those liquids are not man-made, then what is this pool of black water that I see now? It can’t be naturally formed like those nutrient solutions, right? Or are they just similar in appearance and smell, but they are actually two completely different things?

Whether they are the same thing or not, Chen Xian can't get a definite conclusion, but just by feeling, they should be exactly the same... whether it's the state or smell, or the color, reflectance, etc. , There is almost no difference in the comparison of all these details.

But if they are really the same thing, will this case be related to the previous case? Has something to do with the organization lurking behind the mental hospital?

"Eternal Land...I belong to myself..." the old man said hoarsely, as if he had lost his mind. When he spoke, the whole person gave Chen Xian a nervous feeling. , "I am alone..."

Chen Xian didn't dare to think any more, he rushed up again with the saw blade in his hand, and slapped his head and face at the old man's throat.

This knife caused very limited wounds to it, and it was not even as good as the one that attacked it before.

The knife was cut down to the depth of the old man's throat at most two centimeters, and it would be very difficult to continue cutting afterwards, at least Chen Xian couldn't do it because it was an obstacle.

The old man seemed to be in a state of fighting. He directly held the back of the saw blade with his hand and slowly stood up from the ground. During the process, Chen Xian also found that something was wrong with it. The abnormal change in its body was more than Chen Xian had imagined. Is much more serious.

I saw that the old man’s legs were covered by many fine bamboo branches. Those bamboo branches were like some kind of parasites that were difficult to escape. They were tightly wound around his thighs. They seemed to extend from the abdominal cavity through the skin, from head to toe. With a pungent smell of blood.

"Give it a go..." Chen Xian gritted his teeth and launched a third attack. This time he also gave up his plan to attack the old man’s neck and throat, and instead drew the blade down and hit the old man’s waist. He picked up the tip of the knife and slashed over.

This time the saw blade cut into his flesh and blood to a depth of at least ten centimeters. After the skin of the abdominal cavity was cut open by sawtooths, the internal organs that had already been corrupted also rushed out, and they continued to go out along the long and thin wounds. It rushed to the ground, and for a while, the **** smell in the cave became more and more pungent.

Seeing that the attack was effective, Chen Xian didn't dare to think too much, and hurriedly pursued the victory.

With his steady frequency of attacks, the old man's waist was continuously severely injured. After the internal organs fell out, there was nothing else in the abdominal cavity, and only the orange-yellow oily liquid continued to flow out. Perhaps that was the blood of this abnormal life.

Accompanied by the subtle and rhythmic crashing sound, the old man's waist gradually became the hardest hit area of ​​the battle. Chen Xian only fought around this place, slashing him like an apple. Under a layer of flesh.

As Chen Xian's hand lifted and the knife fell, the old man's movements became greater and greater, and he even began to pull his legs toward Chen Xian. He didn't care about the changes in his body at all, and walked slowly to Chen Xian's side. I just want to kill him like that.

"Are you conscious?" Chen Xian asked calmly, then bent down to avoid the fist from the old man, and continued to ask unhurriedly, "Are you still conscious?"

The old man didn't seem to hear Chen Xian's words, he still attacked him self-consciously, and the speed of his shots was getting faster and faster. It was less than half a minute for the two sides to fight against each other, Chen Xian was already a bit unable to hold it, and he couldn't hold it at all. "Perpetual motion machine" extremely weird and abnormal life.

At this time, both parties’ actions to shoot and close are very fast, and the nerve reaction speed is much faster than that of ordinary strangers. Even if the opponent’s fist has reached ten centimeters in front of them, both parties can also avoid the opponent’s attack, even appearing Some are comfortable.

After several minutes of fighting, Chen Xian suddenly discovered that the old man had something similar to himself. Almost all the injuries on his limbs could be ignored. Even if the flesh and blood on his waist was scraped off by Chen Xian, it was the same. You can stand up straight with your spine, constantly looking for opportunities to attack Chen Xian.

When Chen Xian found the opportunity to make the eighth knife, the old man also stopped all his movements in an instant, like a robot that suddenly crashed, and began to stand silently.

Chen Xian didn’t pay attention to this change. He was still trying his best to find opportunities to take the initiative to attack, but at this moment, a thumb-thick bamboo piece suddenly appeared in the old man’s abdominal cavity. Before Chen Xian could react, this piece of bamboo It rushed out like a spear, and directly pierced into Chen Xian's heart.

"What the **** are you..." Chen Xian hurriedly backed away, pulling the distance between the bamboo piece and himself, tightly covering the wound with his right hand, his complexion a little unsightly, "This pool of black water What is it for...Tell me..."

The old man grinned, and the eyeballs made of weeds and dead branches also turned around a few times, making noises constantly, only the people's hair was horrified.

"Eternal Land...This is mine...It's mine!!"
