Duoduo led Lin Xi on the mountain road.
This mountain was formed by geological changes in the past.
It is about 700 to 800 meters high.
From a distance, it looks lush and green, and it does not look like the ecosystem that a plateau environment should have.
As evolution progresses, although most plants have not mutated, their adaptability has been greatly enhanced, and they can almost thrive in the anoxic environment of the plateau or the high-salinity environment of the saline-alkali land.
The tall trees blocked the dazzling sunlight.
Lin Xi's body jumped quickly and nimbly between the branches, but he was a little surprised that there were no mutant creatures on such a mountain.
As the saying goes, there must be monsters when abnormality occurs.
No wonder Duoduo brought him to this place, but he didn't dare to be careless at all.
Based on the experience of Sunset Valley, there might be something here that makes mutant creatures dare not approach.
"Woof woof" Duoduo, who was leading the way, suddenly shouted at Lin Xi.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Xi jumped down from the tree.
Duoduo bit Lin Xi's trousers and dragged him straight to a bush on the side.
"Shashasha."
Lin Xi pushed aside the bushes, and a huge mutated creature corpse appeared in front of him.
"This is a giant stone ape."
Lin Xi noticed that this ape-like creature was covered with rock-like armor all over its body.
In fact, it was just the strong cuticle it grew.
The Giant Stone Ape is a mid-seventh-level mutant creature.
Not only is it extremely powerful, but its defense is also terrifying.
Weapons with a caliber less than 10 mm cannot penetrate its thick stone armor.
Even seventh-level warriors are quite vulnerable when they encounter it.
Tricky.
But what caught Lin Xi's attention was the strange death of the giant stone ape.
All the water and blood in its body seemed to have been sucked dry by something, leaving almost only a thick layer of skin and bones.
This method of death gave Lin Xi some chills down his spine.
This was obviously not a method used by human warriors.
It was not uncommon to kill mutated creatures to obtain blood.
I heard that the blood of some powerful alien beasts could help people strengthen their bodies.
There are several branches of combat skills, one of which is called body refining.
Low-level body refining requires the use of medicines prepared from various exotic flowers and herbs to assist in practice, but advanced body refining requires powerful Mutated biological blood as a guide.
Therefore, after many powerful warriors find those mutated creatures, they will drain their blood and sell it to those who need it.
Moreover, the supply of this blood is generally very low, so the price is extremely high.
But creatures like the giant stone ape are obviously not in this category, and the blood of warrior-level creatures has no effect.
Moreover, if a warrior is hunting, unless he cannot carry it, he will usually take away the most valuable part of the prey, but the corpse of the giant stone ape in front of him is very complete.
"It was definitely not done by humans."
Lin Xi quickly ruled out this possibility.
"Could it be a mutant creature?"
Lin Xi thought about it for a long time.
He seemed to have never heard of any mutant creature that liked to suck blood.
After observing the corpse for a long time, Lin Xi finally found some clues.
There were shallow marks on the wrists and ankles of the giant stone ape.
Although the blood had been drained and no bruises could be seen, it was because of the loss of the body.
The body was hardened by moisture, but these parts were sunken, as if they were tied up with something.

Not only that, there is a small hole the size of a thumb in the neck of the giant stone ape, and there is a trace of blood around the wound that has not completely dried.
"Looks like you have to be careful, there's something unusual about this mountain."
Lin Xi's face became serious.
The giant stone ape seemed to have been dead for a short period of time, and the corpse had not stink yet.
Based on the principle of not wasting it, Lin Xi put it into his storage ring, and then took out a huge sword.
This is a top-grade human-level war sword, almost as long as Lin Xi, 28 centimeters wide, 3 centimeters thick at its thickest part, and weighing a terrifying 120 kilograms.
It was Shikana who suggested Lin Xi Xi's purchase almost cost him the last bit of his savings.
Shikana told Lin Xi that after being able to initially open his mouth and penetrate the clouds, his offensive power was almost unrivaled among junior warriors, but his defensive power was still his biggest flaw, and although this wide and thick sword It is heavy and bulky, but has a very powerful defensive effect.
Not only that, as long as Lin Xi starts to learn the fantasy sword, even the heavy sword can exert great power.
The weapon of the Lord Soul Sword was also a huge heavy sword, which integrated offense and defense with infinite power.
"Wow, it's so heavy."
Lin Xi's arms sank.
She had almost reached the fifth level of physical fitness, but it was so difficult to even pick it up, let alone use it.
She didn't know whether carrying it was for self-defense or a burden.
"Hey, just think of this as a kind of training," Shikana said happily.
As he went deeper and deeper, there were more and more corpses like this.
He even saw the corpses of several eighth-level creatures.
Some had gradually decayed and looked like they had been dead for a long time.
Some were still very fresh, even Some of them haven't completely cooled down yet.
"What is there on earth?"
The strange atmosphere made Lin Xi's breathing become a little rapid.
"Well, there are a few small holes here."
When Lin Xi was observing the corpse of an eighth-level creature that had died not long ago, he suddenly saw several small holes in the soil around it.
The soil was turned outwards and even a little moist.
It was obvious that these small holes were made from the inside.
He quickly walked back and took a look at the corpses in front of him.
Sure enough, there were small holes similar to this next to those corpses.
Some holes were only as thick as a finger, and some holes were almost as thick as an arm in diameter.
It was not difficult to think of something like this. , the attacks of these mutated creatures must be related to these small holes.
"What on earth is it?
Is it a snake?"
Lin Xi guessed, but the mutated snakes have basically become as huge as the previous pythons.
Only some highly venomous snakes will maintain their former size, but these dead ones The creature apparently showed no signs of poisoning.
Unknowingly, Lin Xi had reached halfway up the mountain.
Finally, he saw the body of a human warrior.
The death state of the corpse was equally strange.
The blood had been sucked dry, and the body was stiff and cold.
"This is probably a junior warrior of the seventh or eighth level."
Lin Xi saw the swords scattered nearby.
They were high-grade human-level swords, but they were broken by an unknown force.
I am afraid that this force was at least It can only be possessed by the peak junior warriors.
"Xikana, can you see what kind of creature made it?"
"No, there is a very pure energy source on this mountain.
Some of my inductions are affected, and some parts cannot be scanned," Shikana said.
"Pure energy source" "Yes, it should be what the little guy wants to bring you to find.

Although I don't know what it is, if you can get it, it will be of great benefit to your growth."
"Do you think this weird thing has anything to do with this energy source?"
Lin Xi guessed.
Shikana pondered for a moment: "It's possible that pure energy sources are not very common on a planet like yours.
This energy source seems to have just appeared.
It may have attracted something with its appearance.
You have to be careful.
Although you have been able to use the Cloud Piercing initially, it may be difficult to deal with that thing. " "I know," Lin Xi said seriously.
Suddenly, a faint vibration came from Lin Xi's feet, as if something was coming towards him.
"Be careful when it comes."
Shikana hurriedly said.
Lin Xi looked around.
He still didn't know what it was, and he would definitely suffer a loss if he fought in confusion.
"Yes" He jumped up and landed on the trunk of a big tree not far away.
He stood the giant sword in front of him and stared at the place where he stood just now.
Poof A large piece of soil splashed up, and a purple vine broke out of the ground, heading straight for Lin Xi's cheek with a violent whistling sound:
