Chapter 587 Xianshui Luo Family
The abdominal cavity was cut open, and what appeared in front of Richard was a bunch of twisted organs.
The old Taoist's organs were so dirty that they looked like a huge tumor. If it weren't for the fact that after becoming a first-level creature, the creature could survive by absorbing energy from the air, this old Taoist would definitely starve to death because of the complete distortion of his digestive system.
"It shouldn't be."
Richard looked at the strange structure in front of him, his eyes full of confusion.
Even if this fairyland civilization took the path of spiritual evolution, it would not have twisted its body into this shape.
This structure can neither allow energy circulation to store more energy nor mobilize energy faster, so it is completely useless.
"These natives can't copy it wrong, right?" Richard had a ridiculous thought in his mind.
When this messy organ complex was cut open, a foul smell instantly rushed into Richard's nasal cavity, and thick green pulp spurted out of the wound like a small fountain.
Richard frowned slightly.
This stench was not an ordinary stench, but closer to the stench of a corpse. This old Taoist had just died for less than an hour, and he was also a secondary creature. There shouldn't be such a smell at this point. Unless...
"Did it rot when he was alive?"
Richard continued to dissect and separated the organs in this complex as much as possible. But this complex is no longer able to be divided by ordinary surgical techniques. Different organs are directly fused together, and cells of four or five organs can even appear in the same area.
At the end of the dissection, Richard had given up on dividing the organs, and directly divided them neatly into cubes.
After the dissection of the complex was completed, Richard looked at the pieces of meat and fell into deep thought.
His guess was right. The internal structure of this creature had actually rotted before he died. The chaotic flesh structure caused a large number of cells to not get nutrition, and without the supply of nutrition, these cells could not divide normally and could only die little by little.
And because of the existence of energy circulation, this body would not die completely. His internal organs were rotting, but his brain could work normally because of the energy supply.
It can be said that this Taoist was a living dead man before he died.
"Too weird." Richard shook his head and said, "We must have a new specimen."
Although Richard's intuition told him that the Taoist was probably not wrong, and his body became like this because of Taoism. But as a wizard, Richard never blindly followed his intuition.
He needed new examples to prove his intuition.
"The research on Taoism must be stopped first."
The abnormality of the Taoist's body sounded the alarm for Richard. He must be on guard. If this Taoism was backdoored or tampered with, it would be difficult for Richard to find it at his current level.
His knowledge of transmutation was not strong enough, and his experience was too little. As a great wizard, except for the knowledge of flesh and blood, Richard can now be called a master among masters. In other aspects, his knowledge is mostly at the level of a three-ring wizard.
However, temporarily stopping the research on Taoism did not cause any loss to Richard. He could just focus all his energy on the research of the forerunner relics and life editing.
In the ancient past of mankind, their ancestors had evolved into many forms. Although these forms are invisible now, the core fragments of life that express these forms still exist.
After ten years of research, Richard has made some progress in mastering life editing. He is planning to selectively express these ancient core fragments recently, so as to construct a form that he named "perfect human".
...
"Hah!"
The knife light accompanied by a low shout, a bright light flashed in the air. Then blood splashed, and a headless corpse fell to the ground with a plop.
In the bamboo forest, Bai silently put away the knife. Around him, a group of warriors in brocade clothes fell to the ground, and the blood almost dyed the ground red.
Along the way, he killed many people, some of whom let him go, but some did not.
Bai whistled.
The next moment, a low sound of horse hooves came from far away, and soon turned into a dark horse running to Bai's side.
After climbing on the horse, Bai put on the hat behind him again and continued to move along the road.
Passing through the bamboo forest, the dazzling sunlight made Bai squint his eyes slightly.
The fragrance of peach blossoms came with the breeze. In the distance, in a large peach forest, a mountain city built on the mountain almost surrounded the entire mountain peak - immortals like mountains, so almost all aristocratic families will build their headquarters on the mountain. Even if there is no mountain, they will create a mountain.
At the foot of the mountain city, there is a huge city where millions of people live.
Not all aristocratic families are warriors, and if mortals want to live a luxurious life, they naturally cannot do without a large number of servants. But servants also need to eat, drink, defecate and urinate, which requires more people to serve.
Therefore, there are almost no powerful aristocratic families hiding in the deep mountains and old forests in this world. There will be a city at the foot of all aristocratic families as their subordinate cities. The larger the subordinate city, the stronger the aristocratic family will be.
And this subordinate city in front of us is roughly estimated to have millions of people living. This is also an exaggerated number among aristocratic families. Those who can own such a large subordinate city are all "superior" aristocratic families that are enough to compete for the fairyland - there are also high and low among aristocratic families.
"Finally arrived?"
Richard's voice rang in Bai's ears. During this period, except when he encountered a strong enemy, Richard would occasionally speak. The rest of the time, Richard was silent as if he was asleep.
Bai looked at the city in the distance. Although his natural eyes could not see clearly, the artificial eyes given to him by Richard could see the flag with the word Luo on the wall of the city.
"Xianshui Luo Family... This family has some skills. The feng shui of this place is good, which is very suitable for setting up an array."
Richard used Bai's eyes to see the terrain around Xianshui Luo Family clearly. Although the mountain where Luo Family is located is man-made, the rich water veins around the city are natural.
According to the strange methods that Richard learned from the wild beastman, this place is naturally suitable for connecting heaven and earth.
Bai was a little speechless about Richard's evaluation. This evil ghost would not think that he wanted to kill through Luo Family and rescue the young master.
"Evil ghost, Xianshui Luo family and Chengshan Quan family are relatives. Quan family was also a top-grade family hundreds of years ago, but the talent has declined in recent years, so it has become a middle-grade family.
And Xianshui Luo family and Quan family have always been a firm ally."
"Isn't that more suspicious?"
"..."
Richard's words made Bai fall into silence. The young master of Quan family was killed just after awakening his bloodline, and the young master happened to be rescued by Xianshui Luo family.
These coincidences seem to be deliberately designed.
"It's just suspicious."
"If it's suspicious, you have to be prepared. I still hope you can get me more specimens."
As he said, a space crack appeared in the palm of Bai's prosthetic body, and a bottle of magic potion, thirty-six formation flags, and a tightly sealed box fell out from it.
"Don't rush over. Take the potion first and become a level 3 creature. Then, follow the position I told you to plant the flag, and then you can go find your young master with confidence."
Looking at the things Richard sent, Bai didn't know what to say.
Although he had always called Richard an evil ghost, after these days of contact, Bai could clearly feel that Richard was no different from ordinary people except for his scary appearance. Even compared with those anthropomorphic children of noble families, Richard's behavior of studying corpses looked particularly gentle.
"Thank you."
Bai thanked in a low voice.
Richard did not respond. This was just a matter of convenience for him. After owning a world and a race loyal to him, the resources he could mobilize could be said to be astronomical.
What he showed from his fingers was more than what he gave to Bai.
Finding a secluded place, Bai drank the potion sent by Richard in one gulp. Then, an extremely powerful vitality began to permeate his body from his abdomen bit by bit.
Under the influence of this vitality, his cells began to tremble wildly. The cells that could not bear it began to break rapidly, while the cells that could bear it began to divide at an alarming speed.
This process was extremely painful, and even Bai couldn't help but look hideous.
After an unknown amount of time, Bai opened his eyes tiredly.
At this moment, his clothes were soaked with a layer of sticky liquid, and became hard as the wind dried. And his body became skinny.
But Bai could feel that under this skinny body, there was a force that was enough to crush him.
In the distance, the sunset was setting.
"An afternoon?" Bai's voice was a little hoarse.
"Wrong, it's twenty-nine hours. I estimated that the time was originally three days, but you can hold on without fainting, which I didn't expect."
During this day and night, Bai has been trying to regulate his energy cycle and maintain the stable operation of the energy cycle as much as possible. And this has greatly accelerated the evolution.
Bai looked at the sunset and stood up.
"Where should these flags be planted?"
"Go north first, I will tell you little by little."
...
"Guard?"
The gatekeeper of Luojia Mountain City looked at Bai's denial of the visiting card and looked at Bai in confusion.
At this moment, Bai was wearing a bamboo hat on his back, a straw raincoat on his body, his cheeks were thin, and he had a sword on his waist. He didn't look like a so-called guard at all. If he said he looked like a wandering knight, Bai looked more like a wandering knight.
"Yes, I am the guard of the young master of the Quan family," Bai nodded.
The gatekeeper didn't take it seriously at first, but when he heard the four words "young master of the Quan family", he tensed up instantly.
"Then you are late, the young master of the Quan family has been taken away by the Peng family."
The warrior's answer made Bai frown slightly. There is only one Peng family in the world, and it is one of the seven families walking in the fairyland. It is reasonable for the Peng family to take away the young master of the Quan family.
But Bai's nose told him that the guard was lying.
Werewolves have a very developed sense of smell, and after Dang Bai became a level 3 creature, his sense of smell became even better than his vision.
He could easily smell the unnatural secretions on the warriors.
But Bai didn't ask any more questions. They were all in the same industry, and he knew very well that the gatekeepers knew nothing.
"You see, you still have to rely on yourself."
Bai ignored Richard's ridicule. After leaving the mountain city, he found a place where no one could see him, and the prosthetic fingers on his left arm moved slightly.
The next moment, his body disappeared from the spot.
