671 Infected

The humans in the nightmare world are still in the developing stage according to Raymond's evaluation.

After he researched the armband-like magic weapon, he understood the reason behind it. It can only be said to be exquisite, but its energy utilization rate is very low. Almost most of the energy is consumed on strengthening the control. It should be said It is a deviation in the research direction that is suitable for human use in the nightmare world. .

The boundless yellow sand sea is very quiet during the day and night, and there are no traces of any living beings, and even plants are rarely seen.

But the two men in black who were led by Raymond all the way to the northwest were howling miserably as if they were about to be tortured and killed, so that Raymond had to imprison them, otherwise not only the noise would be irritating, but the Unexplainable creatures will be summoned.

Because it was the first time he came to the Nightmare World, Lei Meng mainly focused on observing the environment and collecting local environmental information in the two days after leaving Haimen and others, and he did not develop his speed.

The endless sand sea as far as he could see, coupled with two consecutive days of uninterrupted environmental inspections, made Raymond aware of the strangeness of this sand sea.

No living things were found, not even a sign of living things.

So Raymond finally stopped on the third day, throwing a guy who had his black cloak stripped off and only his shorts left on the yellow sand.

He was completely dizzy after falling on the sand, but after the guy woke up, he didn't run away at all, but knelt on the sand dune with his hands clasped together as if praying, and his voice became louder and louder.

Lei Meng, who was hiding in mid-air, was very surprised, but what happened next made him break out in cold sweat immediately.

In the vast sea of ​​sand, more than a dozen light gray phantoms emerged from the yellow sand, without even a shadow under the sunlight, but silently rushed towards the man in black kneeling on the sand dune.

The existence of the body cannot be detected. But these humanoid creatures have clear goals, after approaching the guy kneeling on the ground, they merged into his body.

Accompanied by the scream of the man in black, more than a dozen light gray phantoms shuttled and tore through his body, and after a while, only a complete piece of dry human skin was left of the man in black.

All the flesh and blood disappeared, but the hair still remained, and the human skin spread out on the desert was still wearing his shorts, but these light gray phantoms became more solid, and were devouring the flesh and blood of the man in black After that, a violent conflict broke out, and they fought each other.

Raymond stood above these light gray phantoms. Looking at these creatures fighting frantically below, I finally understood what kind of existence Haimen called the "infected".

These light gray phantom infected people have no response to the detection of spiritual power, and even if Raymond's body appeared in the air, they did not respond at all, just like Raymond and the last black man who was imprisoned beside him. People don't exist in general.

And these creatures called Infectors are the easiest to detect by sight. But they are like air-like substances in Raymond's psychopath, and tiny energy fluctuations are not even as easy to identify as a gust of wind.

More than a dozen infected people who devoured the flesh and blood of the man in black fought for several minutes. But in the end, there were only two left after devouring each other. The degree of solidification of its body is much higher than when it first appeared, just like two groups of gray mist. After confronting each other on the sand dune for a moment, they gave up fighting and prepared to leave.

Lei Meng, who was suspended in the air, immediately reached down when he saw the "wizard's hand" condensed by the spell, and easily pulled out one of the infected people whose body was submerged in the yellow sand.

However, the infected person who was touched by the wizard's hand immediately became irritable. The humanoid body turned into a cloud of mist, following the energy trajectory formed by the spell, it rushed towards Raymond in the midair, and also made a sound like a whistling wind.

This was the first time he encountered this situation, while Raymond quickly changed his position in the air while avoiding the infected. It also continuously increased the strength of the wizard's hand, and finally increased the strength of the wizard's hand from the first-level spell to the power of the third-level spell, so that it could resist the pounce of the infected person, making it unable to pass through the wizard's hand barrier formed.

The furious infected person seemed to be able to sense the energy breath only by touching it, but the ensuing attack like maggots attached to the bone gave Lei Meng a headache.

Under Raymond's control, the wizard's hand that resisted the infected person became extremely huge, and after being tightened by Raymond, the infected person was trapped in it.

The confinement of the force field has no effect on it, and the spell can only limit its space of movement, but cannot destroy it, and the idea of ​​setting up a rune array to deal with it was dispelled by Lei Meng.

The people of ashes evolved from these infected people. If you need to set up a rune array to capture them, then the risk of going to the northern border of the nightmare world is too great.

Therefore, Raymond, who captured this infected person, made various attempts in the desert, trying to find a way to kill it.

The attempt of the basic elements did not work, but instead greatly increased the speed and strength of the infected person, and the speed at which the penetrating ability increased surprised Raymond, making it even more difficult to control.

But in the end, when Raymond used the light-type spell, the infected person was severely injured. It was only a light-type spell that a first-level wizard could use, and half of his body was lost with a single blow. .

The low-frequency howling sound was collected by the chip, and Raymond, who had suppressed the power of the spell, quickly found a spell strength that could kill the infected.

Equivalent to the strength of the light magic of a first-level wizard, it can cause the infected person to suffer severe injuries and cause it to flee. If the strength of the magic power is increased to the level of a second-level wizard, the infected person can be wiped out with one blow. Killing, making his misty body disappear into nothingness, and the dissipated negative energy completely dissipated.

Raymond, who was not in a hurry, stopped in this desert after collecting the data, stripped off the remaining man in black and threw it on the desert, restricted his mobility with a confinement force field, and then Various measures such as hysteresis force field and deceleration force field were set up around the man in black to delay the infected person's ability to move.

The mode of encircling the spot to fight for aid caused the infected people hidden under the yellow sand to swarm in. Lei Meng was shocked by their strong perception ability, fast action speed and high density.

There are more than a dozen hidden infected people within a distance of more than a thousand meters, and if the man in black is placed in the air, he can even attract all the infected people within ten kilometers to appear.

However, in Raymond's tests, it was found that these infected people were extremely resistant to force field attacks. Only by using light spells to attack could they be frightened or even run away.

But these infected people will turn into weak negative energy and dissipate after they are killed, but will not leave any substances for Raymond to collect.

Therefore, after spending three days testing the habits and abilities of these infected people, Raymond has mastered the behavior patterns of these infected people and the measures needed to kill them.

But the man in black who was stripped naked and thrown in the yellow sand suffered severe mental trauma during these three days. Finally, when Raymond returned his cloak and sunglasses to him, The man in black held the pile of things in a daze for a long time, standing there as if he had killed him.

Feeling the contribution of the man in black in collecting the information of the infected, in the end Raymond wrapped the man in a black cloak and made sure that he would not attract the infected, so he went up into the air and headed northwest. keep going.

The vast desert seems endless, but there are still some places marked as red dots by the House of Shadows in the desert.

For these places with risks, Lei Meng stayed away from them at the beginning, and avoided them if they were far away, not wanting to know what was hidden there.

However, the journey of tens of thousands of kilometers made Raymond extremely tired after more than ten days, so he finally had the idea of ​​approaching these dangerous areas to take a look... (to be continued...)
