Chapter 16: The Core
It was erected in the four corners of the square, and I picked the nearest twist and took it away before the digestive worm attack hit me. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It is impossible for ordinary humans to have the strength to do it, so reminds the encyclopedia in the brain. I practiced it and found that it didn't apply to me. Sure enough, as humans say, I'm just a dangerous monster who looks like a human.
I'm not ordinary in the eyes of human beings, so I'm trapped here. But it doesn't mean that leaving here to go outside is happiness, and with this thought, I have the opportunity to see the delicious food in front of me.
I can't be careless, lest it backfire.
The best way is for me to solve it decisively before the other person has the ability to solve other troubles...... Well, actually, because of its "core" smell, I'm a little hungry.
The other party was still reassembling his body, and I took the opportunity to raise the lamppost and make a high-pressure slash. The lamppost smashed into its body, but only shattered the surface, unable to penetrate deep into the core. The cortex of digestive worms seems to be more resilient and resistant the further they go inside. The "Encyclopedia of the Brain" explains that it is like an egg yolk crisp, with a soft red bean paste on the outside and a hard yolk ball on the inside.
β¦β¦ The encyclopedia in my brain showed me the example picture, and I drooled when I looked at the brightly colored objects on the picture. What is the taste of egg yolk crisp, since it is similar to a digestive worm, then you just need to slaughter the guy in front of you and eat it.
I cautiously distanced myself from the digestive worms.
The closer I got, the more amazing it tastes, but I can't do that anymore and I'll be eaten if I stay near it too long.
Its digestive juices corrode more strongly than expected, and the slightest touch of skin on my arm was unbearable.
β¦β¦ Therefore, the first attack just now ended in failure.
I took a break from it and rethought my countermeasures from a distance.
The black lampposts are quite heavy. What humans can't seem to hold, I wield with ease.
It was tornly torsioned from its roots, and the materials connected to the ground were broken, but the interior remained unaffected, and the light and shadow of the red numbers continued to shine.
The lamppost can temporarily change the pattern of the projection, and it is estimated that it is a prop made by combining crystal circuits to operate by electricity. The concept of installing a battery inside looks like a battery, and the damage is not high to the range of overload, and the operation does not stop.
Whew, it hurts! It's itchy again!
I looked at the damaged skin on the surface of my arm. The black sore gradually healed as I watched, and faded bit by bit. The body structure of the beast king is facing damage, and it was originally the type that was repaired quickly. Coupled with the effect of the "drug" of the injection, a large amount of adrenaline is secreted, and the speed of healing is enhanced. I was amazed to see how fast the regeneration process is going to be.
β¦β¦ It's an instant result of life savings.
During the time when the digestive worm was temporarily immobile, many offensive methods against it flashed through my mind...... Do you want to use thorns...... Throwing weapons directly may not have a high success rate in the past...... If you switch to melee attacks, the price of increasing your achievement rate is the risk of counterattacking. It was because it was defenseless that it succeeded.
β¦β¦ What a hassle.
The noisy crowd in the stands and the annoying announcer who stirred up the atmosphere were also annoying, and my mind was affected and my decisiveness was greatly reduced...... Huh? I noticed one thing.
"How can that be, is it...... Luz lied to me?"
The mucus surface of the lamppost is melting due to acid erosion. In fact, it doesn't seem to be made with the anti-corrosion leather of Beep Ula as Luz suggests.
The corrosive fluid gnaws at the metal surface, invading the inner doubling and destroying the operating mechanism. The red light flickered and was about to go out. The lamppost dissolves like a popsicle, the body drips with liquid, and the straight body gradually distorts.
β¦β¦ Regardless of Luz's intentions. After all, it's none of my business what she thinks.
I'm in a hurry. Direct attacks are dangerous and can be repeated, but there are not many ways to inflict damage on the opponent, so you can only use the lamppost as a weapon. It's just that the remaining number of lampposts, deducting the ones in my hand, there are only three lampposts in the venue. The opportunity to fight digestive worms is limited and cannot be easily wasted, and every attack must be done with caution. I grabbed the lamppost before it was completely dissolved, and jumped closer to the digestive worm.
I pushed my arms forward with all my might, and with the accelerated gravity of my body falling from a great height, the deformed lamppost pierced the outer soft shell of the digestive worm like a spear and penetrated the inside, and the liquid inside splashed out like hot water, making my cheeks and arms hurt.
I resisted the scorching heat of burning my skin, gritted my teeth and let the tip burrow into the deep crust and stab into the core.
What's wrong?
The lamppost did not penetrate the core, as if it had hit a harder wall, and stopped moving.
β¦β¦ It doesn't work like that, and if I stop, I'll be used as a stake and I'll be counterattacked. Hurry away from it
I immediately pulled out the lamppost - but it got stuck...... It's not so much that it's stuck, it's bitten, so it can't be pulled out.
The column body melts due to the corrosive liquid, and a large number of bubbles emerge from the surface like water boiling. The original diameter of 50 centimeters has lost a lot of weight.
The lamppost is inserted into the core, where a hole is opened. Countless spikes grew around the edge of the hole, like the fangs of a beast, and they clung to the tip of the lamppost.
At this timeβ
β¦β¦ The hole in the core made a strange sound.
"Please...... Listen to me. γ
The sounds produced by the core are similar to human language, but they are slurred by the speech of a toddler who has just learned to speak.
"IβI have a wish...... Whisper. I hope you can help me make it happen...... Come on. γ
I ignored ...... Who knows if I misheard it, maybe it's a meaningless cry, or maybe it's a communication term that only their family (bacteria) understands.
Moreover, I now feel that what is in front of me is dangerous and want to leave, but I seem to hesitate. Because the hole in its opening wafts out a very sweet fragrance, tempting me to keep my feet moving...... It really smells good, especially after getting so close to it like now, I can't control my appetite, and I'm going to eat it even if I die.
No, no, it's a waste to die before you really have a good time...... Well, I can't pull it out anyway, so I have to take a gamble to see if the lamppost melts and breaks first or penetrates the core first.
