Chapter 254: Sutured Flesh
Wanghaiju, the only house within the city wall, was originally a landmark building of Pearl Sea, but was requisitioned due to the war.
Now living in it is the supreme commander and commander of this battle, and only he can have this honor.
Li Yan was practicing on the second floor of Wanghaiju. The first floor had long been converted into a command center. At this moment, his mind was immersed in the flow of spiritual power, constantly recovering the lost spiritual power in his body.
As the two people with the highest cultivation level in the military camp, he and Zheng Su will take turns guarding the entire military camp for three days, and then rotate again.
During the rest period, Li Yan generally would not go out unless the city wall was broken. Just like this time when the huge demon appeared, he never thought of going out.
Suddenly, he felt something in his heart and sensed a demonic aura outside the city wall. Although the aura was weak, it made him alert.
Li Yan was just about to get up and go check it out when the demonic aura disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
He was confused and released his spiritual sense to carefully explore the nearby sea area, but he did not find any trace of the demon.
He frowned slightly and wondered in his heart, what on earth is going on with this demonic aura?
Is it my own illusion?
Or did the demon really come but suddenly retreat?
Just as Li Yan was lost in thought, the shell door was suddenly pushed open in a hurry, and Zheng Su rushed in, exhausted, with a look of anxiety and solemnity on his face.
He held a ball of white flesh in his hand and threw it heavily on the table. A dull sound broke the silence in the tent.
Li Yan was startled by the sudden movement and came to his senses from his thoughts. He reached out and touched the mass of flesh and blood twice in confusion, but did not feel any energy fluctuations.
He was even more confused as to what this mass of flesh and blood was.
Why did Zheng Su bring it here so anxiously?
Seeing Li Yan's puzzled expression, Zheng Su hurriedly explained:
"I found this inside that giant alien demon's body. No wonder I kept feeling a familiar aura. It turns out these are made of human flesh and blood."
He had just been studying the organs of the alien demons and finally made some discoveries.
He also noticed the demonic aura on the sea surface, but he was dissecting organs at the time, so he was delayed. Fortunately, the demonic aura disappeared quickly.
It was during the autopsy that this mass of flesh and blood was accidentally discovered. He immediately became alert and realized that this matter was extremely urgent and could not be delayed.
He immediately came to Li Yan, hoping to discuss countermeasures with him.
When Li Yan heard this, his heart was shocked, and a trace of shock and anger flashed in his eyes.
He never expected that this huge demon's body was actually stitched with human flesh and blood. This was simply a great insult and blasphemy to humanity!
"Is this piece of meat from a cultivator or an ordinary person? Where was it found? What do these beasts want to do?" Li Yan roared in a low voice.
"There's no energy fluctuation in this mass of flesh and blood. It should be an ordinary person. But if you look closely, the stitching technique is very peculiar. It doesn't look like it was done randomly. And it's located right at the dantian of the giant demon."
Zheng Su pointed at the suture marks on the flesh and said in a serious tone.
He had a vague feeling in his heart that this mass of flesh and blood was definitely not an ordinary thing, and there must be a huge conspiracy hidden behind it.
Li Yan carefully observed the mass of flesh and blood and found that the suture marks were indeed different. They seemed to be made according to some special lines, like some kind of text.
His heart moved, and a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and he suddenly thought of a possible explanation:
"Could this mass of human flesh and blood be some kind of special formation?"
"Array?"
A hint of doubt flashed across Zheng Su's eyes, but he quickly became serious again.
He also felt that this explanation was very likely. After all, the methods of the demons were cunning and it was entirely possible that they used human flesh and blood to set up some kind of evil formation.
The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed, so he placed the tools and the undissected flesh of the alien demon on the table in front of him in front of Li Yan and continued the previous dissection.
"This is... my dining table! Forget it, you can dissect it first and show me how much it has been stitched."
"Okay." Zheng Su lowered his head and peeled off the flesh in his hands bit by bit.
Li Yan looked at the dim sky, took out two night pearls and placed them on the top to illuminate Zheng Su.
I thought it was just a new demon, but I didn't expect that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
Although we don’t know what the demons are going to do, since they dare to use human flesh and blood, I’m afraid there must be a huge conspiracy behind it.
They must find out the truth as soon as possible, otherwise if this conspiracy succeeds, the consequences will be disastrous.
……
Hu Qing and Gu Yang were awakened by a burst of noise. They rubbed their sleepy eyes and looked around, only then did they realize that they were still in the military camp, not the sect.
Gu Yang woke up the sleeping Xiao Zi, then packed up everything with it and walked out of the tent.
A cool morning breeze blew towards them, carrying a faint scent of earth, which made them suddenly feel much more awake.
The two looked around at the tents and found that there was no one inside.
"It seems that everyone has gathered." Hu Qing said to Gu Yang with a hint of uncertainty in his tone.
Gu Yang nodded, feeling a little confused.
They just arrived yesterday and now they don't even know the route here. They don't know where to go next or how to integrate into this new environment.
Just then, Elder Yan walked out of the tent next to him with a gentle smile on his face.
"Oh~ You haven't left yet." Elder Yan's voice was gentle, making the two feel a little relieved.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang hurried forward and saluted Elder Yan.
"This is not a sect, why are you being polite?"
Elder Yan waved his hand, indicating that they didn't need to be polite, and then said:
"Senior Zheng and Commander Li were busy today, so they asked me to guard the barracks in their place. So now I'm the supreme commander, and Elder Han has been called over to help."
He paused and continued, "Come with me. I'll take you to the assembly point and then arrange for you to join the team."
Hu Qing and Gu Yang were delighted as they finally had a clear direction.
They followed Elder Yan to the square, where they saw the soldiers already lined up neatly, with several captains and Zheng Su's adjutant maintaining order in front.
The soldiers' faces were serious and determined, as if they were ready to fight at any time.
There were nearly tens of thousands of people there, but there was not a single noise. They were indeed an army.
Elder Yan stepped forward and explained the situation to several captains and adjutants. After confirming the command authority, he gave patrol orders to the soldiers in the square.
Since the sword strike yesterday was deeply rooted in people's hearts, and it was in a military camp dominated by force, everyone naturally had great faith in Elder Yan.
