Chapter 65: Parasite Exoskeletons

Todd was so frightened by Alfonso's strange behavior that he sat back.

The knight propped himself up with his hands, blood gushing from his back, wetting the ground beneath him. Step by step, he walked towards the priest, his sword raised flat, always aimed at the latter's chest. "I'm sorry, Father, I don't know how you became the Inheritor of Sutherland...... But I know that now that I am helping you out, you will suffer less......"

Alfonso's words left Todd baffled.

What is "liberation" and what is "less suffering"?

A stone struck the knight's body, and in the next second, Karin, who was holding a dagger, like a mad she-cat, cut a deep wound on the former's wrist.

Alfonso, who was in pain, could no longer hold the long sword in his hand and fell to the ground.

Leslie roared, and he limped in front of the captain, glaring at the girl who had succeeded in sneaking up, and the flames in his hand rose again.

The situation suddenly became tense, and the four people who were fighting side by side turned into two groups fighting for life and death in the blink of an eye.

Stopping the furious Karin with his hand, Todd decided to break the ice first: "I don't understand, what reason do you have for saying that I am the 'successor of Sutherland'?"

Tearing off the strip of cloth from his jacket, wrapping the cut on the knight's wrist, looking at the huge wound on his back, Leslie, who was helpless, yelled at Todd in a resentful tone: "Do you still want to deny it?!" Ordinary xenomorphs have only one ability in their bodies, and a very small number of people may have two related abilities. Only those monsters that have come into contact with the Sutherland Relic will have more than three abilities that are not related to each other! You just used "Perspective", "Speed", and "Weakness", three xenomorphic skills that have no connection!"

So that's it!

Sutherland's archaea do allow the body to accept a variety of abilities, and that judgment sounds plausible.

Todd also understood at this time the reason for the strange looks and inaction of the two of them when he and Karin faced the monster just now.

But at this time, he had more questions.

Looking at the knight whose breath was getting weaker and weaker, remembering the scene where he was facing each other just now, Todd sighed slightly, and decided to put down the problem in his mind first and try to save the other party's life first.

Pulling out alcohol, needlework, and powdered medicine from his pocket, he was about to walk towards Alfonso, when he saw Leslie raise his slingshot and aim it at him.

"Sutherland's monsters, stay away from us!"

It's always a monster calling around, and even the best tempered person can't stand it.

"If you want to watch him die, I can turn around and leave now. As he spoke, he showed the items in his hand one by one to Leslie to see.

Karin quietly tugged at Latode's clothes: "None of the people in the church are good people! don't go and save him, he just wanted to kill you!"

The latter shook his head at the girl, indicating that he could not do it without saving him.

The Flame Boy bit his lip and glanced at Alfonso's back, the wound that was still bleeding made him hesitate and hesitate at Todd's proposal.

At this moment, the knight opened his eyes and whispered, "Let him come." ”

Leslie lowered her slingshot and got out of the way.

Todd crouched down beside Alfonso and began to examine the wound in his back. His armor cracked through a massive opening, and underneath the metal armor, a parasite of iron gray with a hard shell covered the entire knight's back. Looking at it from above, it looks like it is under the armor, and a layer of gray "hard armor" is put on.

Next, after looking at his whole body, Todd realized that the part of the parasites he saw on his back was just the tip of the iceberg. The knight actually had two similar parasites on his body, and these two parasites were so large that they covered almost every corner of Alfonso's body. The main part of one parasite is on the back, and the main part of the other is on the prothorax. These two parasites with similar "appearances" "hug" each other through tentacles and arthropods to form a complete "insect body breastplate".

Slowly taking off Alfonso's armor, Todd made a new discovery. It turned out that the parasite on the back extended the parasite arthropods covering the entire skull, nape of the neck, arms, and palms of the knight on the head and upper limbs, and on the front chest the parasite on his legs and feet, extending the parasite arthropods covering the lower vulva, thighs, calves, and soles.

These arthropods are made up of sections of bone that are as hard as steel, and even echo metal when struck with a finger, showing how strong they are.

These arthropods not only provide the knight with armor-like protection, but are also light and retractable, which in disguise increases the host's strength, agility, and bounce.

Looking at the "parasite armor" in front of him, Todd suddenly remembered inexplicably that the "mechanical exoskeleton" he saw in science fiction novels in his previous life was really similar, except that one was a machine and the other was an insect body.

"When are you going to see it?!" Leslie shouted anxiously, bringing Todd to his senses.

Patronizing to see the parasites, satisfying curiosity, forgetting the business of saving people.

The axe's attack broke the arthropod of the parasite in the back and wounded the ribs in Alfonso's back. Luckily, thanks to the protection of the parasite armor, the knight's bones were only slightly displaced, but some scary-looking flesh wounds.

After disinfecting the wound on the knight's back with alcohol, the copper needle he carried with him was burned in Leslie's hand for a while, and Todd stitched the wound stitch by stitch and covered it with medicinal powder to help it heal faster.

Compared with human wounds, the severed arthropods of parasites are more troublesome.

In the end, it was decided to use the method of bone grafting, to complete the butting of the arthropod tear, then sprinkle the medicinal powder, and finally wrap it in a strip of cloth, and this is the only thing that can be done.

After completing the above procedures, Todd was sweating profusely. He is a researcher, not a doctor, and he only has a general understanding of these surgical measures for suturing wounds and bone grafts. In the final analysis, it is really unfamiliar and the effect is questionable.

But what made him a little proud was that at least Leslie and Karin were stunned by their own hand.

Todd packed up the medicine bottle and materials, looked at Alfonso, whose face gradually turned a little bloody, and said angrily: "With the time in the square, you already owe me two favors." Tell me about what you want to kill me, I need an explanation. ”

Motioning for Leslie to sit up, the knight who took off his armor but still wore the iron mask looked into Todd's eyes, and the first thing he said made the latter's muscles jump: "'Sutherland's Relic' has never been a gift from the sages, it is a curse of the devil......"
