Chapter 466: Soulless Virtual Beast

"This is too strange."

Xu Ye's brows kept frowning.

As long as it is a living creature that can move, there should be a soul, not to mention virtual beasts.

Since he got the Jiuli Pot, the souls of all virtual beasts and virtual demons will be absorbed by the Jiuli Pot, without exception.

But now, the thousands of virtual beasts surrounding Xincheng City have not produced any souls.

Combined with their zombie-like movements, they seem to be empty shells.

"And judging from the distribution and density of these virtual beasts, they all seem to have walked out of that forest."

Xu Ye raised his head and looked at the mountains ahead thoughtfully, and then walked into the mountains.

On the way, he saw the corpses of virtual beasts all over the ground, all of which were killed by others passing by.

Soon he entered the forest, and after walking for about ten minutes, a blue-haired figure appeared in front of him.

At the feet of the figure, two corpses of virtual beasts were lying.

Judging from the traces of blood on their bodies, they seemed to have just died not long ago.

"Xu Ye." Qin Ze followed the voice and nodded to Xu Ye, then continued to stare at the corpse on the ground, thinking.

"What did you find?" Xu Ye came to his side and asked casually.

"It's a bit strange." Qin Ze squatted down and gently pressed the blood on the wound of the virtual beast with his right finger.

Soon, his fingers were stained red with blood.

He stood up and showed it to Xu Ye: "The energy content in the blood of these virtual beasts is too low."

"Yes." Xu Ye nodded, "I noticed this on the way here."

The breeze wrapped around Qin Ze's fingers and quickly cleaned up the blood.

He gently pushed the frame and continued to say what he had discovered: "Besides that, these virtual beasts are a little too weak."

"Although they all have energy auras that match their realms, their energy intensity and physical strength are a little too weak, and they are completely not at the level that a virtual beast should have."

"So... what conclusion did you draw?" Xu Ye put his hands in his pockets and looked down at the corpse at his feet.

"I think..." Qin Ze subconsciously wanted to answer, but suddenly frowned and looked at Xu Ye unhappily, "Why do you keep testing me like a teacher?"

"You have actually found the problem, haven't you?"

Xu Ye shrugged and smiled, and replied indifferently: "I just want to see what level you can reason to."

"Humph." Qin Ze snorted lightly, but still expressed his opinion, "I think these virtual beasts may not be virtual beasts, or they cannot be called complete virtual beasts."

"Oh?" Xu Ye's eyes flashed.

He was able to draw this conclusion based on the fact that the Jiuli Pot could not absorb souls.

Qin Ze also came to the same conclusion based on his own analysis and reasoning.

"Then where do you think they come from?" Xu Ye continued to ask.

Qin Ze frowned, "To accommodate so many virtual beasts at the same time, at least a medium-sized virtual realm can do it."

"But once a virtual realm of that level is opened, the government cannot fail to notice it."

"So I think these virtual beasts may not appear from the virtual realm."

He looked up at Xu Ye, "Do you have any clues?"

"There are indeed some." Xu Ye looked deeply into the depths of the mountains, "Have you noticed that since we arrived here, we haven't found any animals?"

"Oh?" Qin Ze seemed to be inspired by Xu Ye's words, and his eyes suddenly glowed , countless thoughts and conclusions quickly pieced together in his mind, "So that's it!"

He looked down at the corpses under his feet, "No wonder their bodies are so fragile."

"It seems that you and I have reached the same conclusion." Xu Ye exhaled lightly, "Do you want to go and have a look?"

"Of course." Qin Ze pushed the frame, "Points are not important to me."

"Me too." Xu Ye nodded, "If you want to find more clues, you must start the search from the source."

The two looked at each other, tiptoed to the ground, and rushed out almost at the same time. Their figures disappeared in the mountains and forests at a high speed, heading deep into the mountains.

...

"Here... we shouldn't be disturbed, right?"

Bai Tao crawled out of the ground, looked around cautiously, and muttered to himself, "This is the deepest part of the mountain range. If there are still virtual beasts, it's unreasonable."

"These damn virtual beasts, the number is too much."

He came all the way through the ground, just wanting to find a place to hide for a while without being noticed.

But no matter where he went, he could see endless virtual beasts.

So he went deeper and deeper, and unknowingly came here.

"If I hide here, no one will find out that I am lazy." Bai Tao stretched and began to look for a place to rest.

"When they are almost done, I will kill two virtual beasts in the stone realm and pretend to have a big fight."

He made a plan while muttering, and pushed aside a bush to observe the environment in front.

The bushes made a rustling sound, revealing the environment behind.

Bai Tao suddenly froze in place.

But he saw a huge blood egg hanging upside down on the giant tree behind the bushes.

He rubbed his eyes hard, and then took a breath of cold air: "What is that?"

This huge blood egg is four meters in size, with countless "blood vessels" spreading out from the egg, clinging to the trees and the ground behind it like a parasite, and extending and spreading continuously.

Waves of weak energy fluctuations spread and spread as the blood egg moves like a heartbeat, but disappear very quickly.

The blood egg flickers with light, and after each tremor, the blood vessels on the ground will light up.

"How can there be such a thing in the mountains?! What kind of monster is this? Virtual beast? Virtual demon?"

Countless horrifying thoughts exploded from Bai Tao's mind.

He quickly took out his mobile phone from his arms: "I must inform Instructor Lian Shou about this as soon as possible!!!"

But at this moment!

A huge palm suddenly stretched out from behind Bai Tao, covered his mouth, and pulled his body back with force!

"Ugh!!!" Bai Tao widened his eyes, the mobile phone flew out of his hand, and he subconsciously wanted to exclaim.

He usually keeps an eye on all directions and listens to all directions, but he was too shocked to see the blood egg just now, so he relaxed his perception of the people around him.

But in the next second, something even more shocking happened to him!!

He saw a sharp blood vessel suddenly pierced the ground where he was standing!

His flying mobile phone was pierced almost instantly and shattered all over the ground!

If he was still there just now, I'm afraid his whole body would be pierced!

"If you don't want to die, don't make a sound!" A low and rough voice sounded in Bai Tao's ears, dragging him into the forest.

Bai Tao looked up with fear, and Zhou Li's bloody face suddenly appeared behind him.

His face looked extremely ferocious, like the devil who killed people without blinking in movies and TV dramas.

At this moment, his fright value soared rapidly, even more terrified than seeing the blood egg.

"Oh my god, this guy, he is not going to kill me here?!"
