In the blink of an eye, Ling Mo noticed the Monster wrapping its countless âhandsâ around his ArmâŠ
After a moment of silence, Ling Mo exploded, âDamn it, damn it, damn it!â
He swung his Arm wildly, while his other hand grabbed the back of the Monsterâs neck, trying to pull it off.
âIt seems to be soft-bodiedâŠâ Li Yalin observed and analyzed from the side.
Xia Na, on the other hand, looked at Ling Mo in shock and then quietly reminded him, âAt least itâs femaleâŠâ
âHuh?â Ling Mo paused for a moment, but just a second later, his expression became even more conflicted.
âWhy do I feel so underestimated? Do I look like such a desperate pervert? Just because itâs female, does that make it any more comfortable for me?â
But then, Ling Moâs body suddenly frozeâŠ
âLing Mo?â Li Yalin looked at him curiously, cautiously asking.
Ling Mo slowly moved his gaze downward, finally twitching his eyes as he looked at his thigh.
The Monster, dazed by Nanaâs psychic attack, was now wrapping its legs around him and continuously moving upwardâŠ
âGet it off me! Damn, this is⊠harassment!â
âIt hasnât even touched you yet⊠Besides, itâs not really you.â
âI can still feel it!â
âŠ
âSmack!â
With a swift flick of Xia Naâs Scythe, the Monster finally let go of Ling Moâs Zombie Puppet and fell to the ground.
As soon as it hit the ground, it immediately clung tightly to the surface. Only its âhandsâ were still moving unconsciously, trying to grab something. These âhandsâ grew from its original limbs, looking like something that had mutated after the limbs had degenerated. Its chest, back, and even its thighs were covered with a layer of constantly contracting suckers. âĂąá»đ±ÎS
Overall, the Monster resembled a humanoid CentipedeâŠ
Ling Mo raised his Arm and was startled by what he saw.
While it was wrapped around him, he felt nothing but disgust⊠But now, he could see that the Monsterâs âhandsâ had dug deep into his flesh, and upon closer inspection, he noticed a dense array of red dots. The areas covered by these red dots were noticeably more sunken than the rest.
âIt was sucking my bloodâŠâ Ling Mo looked at the Monster in shock.
Xia Na used her Scythe to flip it over and said, âDonât worry, once itâs dazed, it only sucks a little out of instinct. Itâs not like Ling-Ge suddenly pounced on it.â
âDamn it! You threw it at me!â Ling Mo retorted angrily.
âDid I? It was just a reflexâŠâ
âYou were trying to scare me!â
âHeheâŠâ
âBy the way, why didnât they approach that hole?â
âInstinct. If you crawled on the ground all the time, youâd also avoid places where manhole covers were stolenâŠâ
âThatâs a terrible analogyâŠâ
Li Yalin interrupted them, squatting down to examine the Monster. She suddenly reached out and touched one of its âhands.â
The finger-like appendage immediately started wriggling. As Li Yalin slowly lifted her finger, the âhandâ extended quite a bit⊠The tip showed signs of movement, looking quite bizarre.
âThere are holes here,â Li Yalin said.
Ling Mo squatted down to take a closer look and was shocked, âThere really are!â
The sides and tips of the âhandâ were covered with numerous tiny openings, resembling countless small mouthparts. The red dots on the Zombie Puppetâs Arm were naturally caused by these mouthparts.
âI dislocated its jaw beforehand, otherwise, it would instinctively bite when it encountered prey. One bite from it, and even bones would crack,â Xia Na explained.
Ling Mo, suppressing his disgust, touched the Monsterâs jaw and felt it twitch⊠The precision of dislocating jaws among these Monsters was truly terrifyingâŠ
âBut it has self-healing properties?â Ling Mo quickly realized another point.
âYes, so we need to hurry,â Xia Na said, raising her Scythe slowly.
Ling Moâs scalp tingled, âWhat are you doingâŠâ
Xia Na looked up and gave him a bright smile, âDissection.â
ââŠâ
In fact, when Xia Na started, Ling Mo found the process less disgusting than he had imaginedâŠ
The Centipede Man barely bled; it mostly oozed mucus.
âYou guys arrived earlier than I expected⊠I originally planned to find an exit and meet up with you, but⊠By the way, did you see a figure?â Xia Na asked while dissecting.
âYeahâŠâ Ling Mo nodded with a frown, âDid you alsoâŠâ
âYeah, we were all lured in. But I didnât need to find anyone, so I discovered quite a bit,â Xia Na said proudly.
Li Yalin interrupted, âSuddenly feeling a bit resentfulâŠâ
âDonât say that. Youâll be happy once you know. By the way, whereâs Ye Lian?â Xia Na asked.
âStill outside,â Ling Mo replied.
Xia Na nodded thoughtfully, âThatâs perfect. Weâll need her help soon.â
âWhat?â
Xia Na squinted and smiled, âTo drag that annoying figure out and kill it!â
âYou know what it is?â Ling Moâs heart skipped a beat, and he asked.
Li Yalin looked confused, clearly not understanding their conversation.
âOf courseâŠâ Xia Na winked at Ling Mo mysteriously and suddenly exclaimed, âLook!â
Ling Mo held his breath and looked over, unable to help exclaiming, âYouâre a pro at this!â
âHehe, I dissected frogs in schoolâŠâ Xia Na replied casually.
âNo wonder youâre a top student⊠How did you go from frogs to human anatomyâŠâ Ling Mo muttered, his eyes already examining the Monsterâs insides.
It wasnât moving anymore, but its body didnât show any signs of deathâŠ
Even its organs lacked blood color, appearing semi-transparent and unreal.
Ling Mo didnât feel like he was looking at a humanoid body but rather a grotesque silicone productâŠ
âItâs not dead yet,â Xia Na said, âWhen faced with a fatal threat, it goes dormant. At this point, itâs indistinguishable from being dead. But if you let it go, it will soon wake up and heal its wounds. Moreover, its body will remember the attackerâs scent, so once it wakes up, it will track you downâŠâ
