The two of them soon found the corpse of the Chaos Beast outside the defensive line.
But unlike the other corpses ….
"That's strange …."
Hina frowned as she looked at the corpse of the Chaos Beast. This was a Demonic Crow. Tina had killed quite a few of these monsters before, so she had some understanding of their habits. But that was not important. What caught Hina's attention was the wound on the Chaos Crow.
It was not a wound from a plasma bullet or a laser beam. On the contrary, the Chaos Crow's abdomen and wings were full of strange equilateral triangular wounds. It looked like some kind of triangular bullet had penetrated the Chaos Crow's body at high speed and left a mark on it.
Do we have such a weapon?
"Hmm? What's wrong? Little girl? "
Wales couldn't help but glance at Tina when he saw her serious expression.
"Is there a problem?"
"Please wait a moment, grandpa."
Hearing Wales' question, Hina first looked around. After making sure there was no problem, she took two steps back and walked into the protection range of the Photon Cannon. Then, Hina closed her eyes and contacted Fangzheng through the Zerg Network.
"Big brother Fangzheng, I found something strange …."
As a precaution, Fangzheng had set very strict rules for the Cursed Children when they went out. Of course, these rules were set by Fangzheng based on the experience he gained from the movies and games. For example, in a different world, they were not allowed to come into contact with the living beings and plants of the other world without permission, and they were not allowed to bring any object that had not been scanned and studied back to the settlement. If he wanted to study the target, he would have to put the target into his demiplane for observation and preservation.... and so on. In short, he had pulled out almost all the flags that could be raised in the movies and games in one go.
If something happened again, Fangzheng could only say that it was God's will.
It was the same for the Chaos Crow's corpse. Although Hina could also bring it back, according to Fangzheng's rules, she had to report this matter as soon as possible. After all, with the Zerg Network, there was no delay in reporting such a trivial matter.
And Fangzheng quickly gave a response.
"I'll be right there."
Not long after, Fangzheng arrived at the scene with Nimf. After looking at the Demon Crow's corpse, he knitted his brows.
Fangzheng was sure that these wounds were definitely not caused by their weapons. Although, if it was a coincidence, it wouldn't be a problem for one or two such wounds to appear. However, just as Tina had reported, the demon crow's body was riddled with these triangular wounds, which was a huge problem.
If one had to describe it, it would be that this demonic crow seemed to have been shot by an anti-aircraft cannon or similar weapon that fired triangular bullets.
"Nimf, what's the result of the examination?"
With this in mind, Fangzheng looked at the little angel beside him, and Nimfu nodded.
"According to the scanning results, there are burn marks on the wound of this Devilish Crow, and there are also faint residual radiation reactions. It should be left by some kind of energy attack."
"What's wrong? Is there a problem? "
At this point, Wales couldn't help but ask curiously. In the beginning, he didn't think much of the Devilish Crow's corpse, but he was worried about leaving Hina alone, which was why he watched from the side. But what the old paladin didn't expect was that not long after that, Fangzheng also came here and seemed to care a lot about the corpse of the Demonic Crow. This made Wales feel that something wasn't right, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to ask.
Facing Wales's question, Fangzheng lifted his head and looked at him.
"Sir Wales, you understand Chaos Creatures the best. Can you take a look at this Devilish Crow and the other Chaos Creatures that you know of?"
"Hmm? Is there a problem with this Devilish Crow? "
Upon hearing Fangzheng's words, Wales approached the Devilish Crow's corpse. He wanted to reach out and pick it up, but he noticed that Fangzheng and the others were cautiously maintaining a certain distance from the corpse, so he didn't do anything. He stared at the Devilish Crow's corpse for a moment and let out a soft cry of surprise.
"How did this happen?"
"What's wrong?"
Asked Fangzheng hurriedly after noticing the old holy knight's expression.
"… There's no Chaos aura in this corpse!"
This time, Wales extended his hand without hesitation, aimed at the Devilish Crow's corpse, and closed his eyes. Shortly after, Fangzheng and the others witnessed a dazzling holy light erupting from Wales's hand and striking the corpse. But after the light dissipated, the Devilish Crow's corpse didn't change at all.
"… May I ask what's going on?"
"It's like this."
At this moment, Wales's expression became a lot more solemn and dignified. He turned to look at Fangzheng and explained to them word by word.
"Everyone should know that the so-called Devilish Beasts are actually wild beasts that have mutated after being eroded by the power of Chaos. After they mutate, the power of Chaos will forever exist in their bodies. Even if these monsters die, the power of Chaos in their corpses will contaminate this land if they aren't dealt with in time. "
"That's why you collected the corpses and burned them."
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng came to a sudden realization. After every battle, he would discover that the holy knights would collect the corpses of the Devilish Beasts on the battlefield and burn them. At that time, Fangzheng didn't think much of it and only thought that they were guarding against plagues. But now it seemed that he was too naive.
"We have to purify their corpses, or else they'll damage this land."
Wales spread his hands apart and knitted his brows.
"But … there's no trace of Chaos aura in this Devilish Crow's body. This doesn't make sense at all."
"The Holy Light should be able to purify the power of Chaos."
Fangzheng had seen the priests of the Holy Cathedral treating holy knights who were injured by Chaos attacks more than once. Their Holy Light could remove the power of Chaos attached to the wounds, so he didn't find it strange at all.
But Wales obviously didn't think so.
"That's not the case, Sir Fangzheng. That's because the power of Chaos hasn't seeped into the body yet. It's only on the surface. If the power of Chaos corrodes the soul, even a demon will inevitably 'fall'. When that happens, even the Holy Light used to dispel the power of Chaos will cause great damage or even destruction to the demon. "
Wales pointed to the corpse of the Devilish Crow.
"Take this corpse for example. If there's even a trace of Chaos in its body, it should've turned into ashes under the illumination of my Holy Light just now. But it didn't react at all … "
"So what you're saying is that … before this Devilish Crow died, the Chaos aura in its body was already cleansed?"
Upon hearing Wales' words, Fangzheng also revealed a look of disbelief.
"Is that even possible?"
"It's impossible with the technology of our Holy Cathedral, but …"
Wales hesitated for a moment.
"But … according to the scriptures, the Goddess of Order had once restored the sanity of some monsters who had been corrupted by Chaos …"
"…"
Fangzheng also fell into silence. Indeed, as Wales said, if the scriptures weren't a fantasy novel but reality, then the Goddess of Order must have some kind of technique that could fight against Chaos and even purify it. After all, according to the scriptures, before the Goddess of Order came, the entire world was shrouded in Chaos. Therefore, the humans living in this world would naturally be corrupted by Chaos. It was impossible for them to be as pure and flawless as white lotuses.
If the Goddess of Order's Holy Light also attacked indiscriminately like the Holy Cathedral, then perhaps the entire continent would be plunged into misery and suffering …
"Tina."
At this thought, Fangzheng turned to Tina beside him.
"You said that when you first discovered this Devilish Crow, it was still flying, right?"
"Yes, Big Brother Fangzheng."
Tina nodded in agreement.
"I'm sure that the Devilish Crow was still flying at that time, but it didn't seem to be able to fly anymore …"
Even if the Devilish Crow's vital parts weren't injured, it was only a matter of time before it died after suffering such a heavy injury. Then …
"Tina, activate the detector."
Fangzheng looked at the dark land in the distance and ordered.
