Chapter 10: Cats and Dogs Monsters

Tingting originally thought that the little white dog in Xiaopang's mouth was an excuse to bluff her, although she was looking forward to it, she was already ready to reprimand this deceitful spirit. Who knew that after smelling the smell of grass mixed with the soil in his backyard, there was really a white mass crouching in the grass next to the broken brick house.

"Really? You didn't lie to me. ”

Xiaopang's face was full of grievances, and he wrinkled his nose and snorted, "I'm so sad, Xiaoting." When did I lie to you? I've lied to people a lot, but I've never lied to you. ”

In this way, Tingting couldn't help but count the years of intersection with Xiaopang, and she really couldn't remember that he had deceived herself, and she was inexplicably sorry in her heart, but she didn't want to lower her posture because of this, so she just said "oh" and slowly walked towards the puppy.

This is a white dog with folded ears, two fan-like ears, a round body, and a tail like a cat's tail, which is a breed that Tingting has never seen. The puppy watched the two enter, leaning against the wall and becoming vigilant, but did not make a warning sound of whimpering, only stared with a pair of large, round eyes, and in the faint moonlight, its cornea reflected a pleasant green fluorescence.

"It's so cute." Chubby squatted down first, "I wanted to tease it when I saw it before." ”

Tingting looked itching, but her movements stagnated, and for some reason, she always felt a little disobedient. Although the dog's eyes can glow at night, it is only when the light source is direct, such as a flashlight, and there will only be some faint reflections under the moon. But this strange-looking puppy was only in the moonlight, but her eyes could be as bright as fireflies, which made her feel a little frightened.

"Stay away! Don't go near it! ”

Suddenly, a young voice shouted, and following the prestige, a boy was hanging with one hand like a monkey on a branch of a needle-pine tree among the many fir trees in the old forest next door. Tingting squinted and looked closely, it was the temple boy who had not been seen for many days, Lu Pan.

Lu Pan is really like a monkey, stepping on the bare tree trunk, jumping quickly, but his expression is very serious, "Don't touch it, trust me!" You'll regret it. ”

Tingting already felt disobedient, so he obediently took two steps back, but Xiaopang was not happy, he was just about to reach out and stroke the puppy, and when he turned around, he looked at Lu Pan dissatisfied, "What's wrong?" Do you like it too? ”

"I can see it! Hurry away, you don't know what a terrible monster it is! ”

Lu Pan's anxious tone did not make Xiaopang pick up his vigilance, he pursed his lips disapprovingly, and stubbornly stretched out his hand. But just as he was smiling and looking at the cute puppy, the white dog's nose shook violently, as if it smelled what it liked, but the magnitude of the sensation was a little too great, and in the blink of an eye, the puppy suddenly swelled from the size of a kitten, growing like a cow, and its appearance changed dramatically. The mouth and nose shrank back into the appearance of a feline, but the ears were the same, like a spliced monster of a cat and a dog, a pair of dark green eyes froze at the three of them, and they bowed forward like a cat's fried hair, and the thick forelimbs of a tiger held Bai Sensen's bone claws high.

Chubby was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and sat on the ground trembling all over, watching the cats and dogs show their fangs at him but could only block them with his arms. Seeing that Chubby was about to be devoured by the bloody mouth, Lu Pan on the side jumped over and flew up at the monster's head. The force directly concave and twisted the hideous face into a twisted shape, and kicked it out of a distance of tens of meters.

"Run!" Lu Pan picked up the frightened little fat, dragged him and Tingting and ran in the direction of Lao Lin. But the cat and dog monster had already gotten up from the ground, shook its head, its mane was upside down, and it was gathering momentum again to attack the three of them.

Seeing that he was about to be overtaken, Lu Pan stopped, turned around and lunged, with his back to Tingting and Xiaopang, "You go first, it will let me deal with it." ”

"But......" Chubby blurted out hesitation.

"Take Sister Xiaoting away! Aren't you too much of a mess? Lu Pan turned around and yelled, "Don't hesitate, run hard!" Come on! Otherwise, it's too late, I can't protect you! As he said this, he tilted his head slightly, apparently underestimating the speed of the monster's pounce. The cat and dog monster stopped running when it was about 20 meters away from the three of them, its hind limbs curled up extremely, and the soles of its feet clawed the mud to pieces, and with a loud roar, it had already opened its saliva mouth in front of the three of them.

Lu Pan glanced at the suddenly frightened eyes of the two people behind him, and secretly exclaimed in his heart, after pushing the two away with force, he also made him frightened when he looked at his face, and the big mouth of the blood basin mixed with the strong smell of stench was staring at him together with the bottomless dark green eyes. "Oh no, I can't hide!" Lu Pan had predicted his imminent death, and his limbs couldn't help but be cold, but at the moment of despair, a faint yin and yang double jue appeared on his forehead. Shuangjue was like two stretched red hook jade, the jade head was tightly connected, the jade tail was up and down, and Lu Pan's body instinct seemed to be awakened by Shuangjue, the monster's roar stopped abruptly, and the surroundings were so quiet as if he had lost his hearing. He rolled his eyes, only to realize that time had suddenly stood still, and the monster that had been rushing at high speed was also standing still in the air. Originally, he thought that he had turned on the ability to pause time, but he immediately realized the difference, because the surrounding environment seemed to be motionless, but in fact, after careful observation, it was still moving at an extremely slow speed, and his own movements were extremely stiff, at most he could only be as slow as a snail, and only a pair of eyes could move flexibly, which was equivalent to having an extremely fast reaction ability. Although he didn't know why, since he had this ability, Lu Ban was also a little relieved, and tried his best to drive his body to the side to avoid attacks.

Three seconds later, Shuangjue vanished, and the sluggish time resumed to flow normally, but Lu Pan had spent too much time observing and understanding before, so that he finally did not completely avoid the monster's bite, and half of his shoulder and his entire right arm were cut off by the white fangs of the forest. The monster tasted the smell of human blood, raised its neck, and swallowed Lu Pan's arm along with his clothes, biting out a "click, click, click" crack.

Tingting and Xiaopang, who were pushed away, did not run away immediately, and their eyes had already reflected the blood splashing everywhere on the land side. Chubby's legs were weak, he collapsed to the ground, and screamed loudly, trying to crawl and escape, but he was caught in his clothes by the low hard bushes, and he could only cry blindly. Of course, Tingting was also extremely scared, but she tried her best to calm her heart, squatting down, trying to break the branch that hooked the little fat, but she caught a glimpse of Lu Pan with the broken arm falling sideways, and finally couldn't help it, whispered and closed her eyes, and squeezed out her tears. But no matter how she closed her eyes to escape reality, the cat and dog monster still wouldn't let them go, just hearing a roar, her footsteps and breath approached Xiaopang and Tingting. This monster seemed to be very greedy, knowing that Lu Pan was on the verge of death, and was not in a hurry to eat it, but instead targeted Tingting and them.

Tingting knew that even if he ran wildly now, he would not be able to escape the attack of this monster, so he could only lean over and close his eyes, and he kept regretting it in his heart. She blamed herself for not completely following Liang Leon's warning, and let Chubby come out and hang out at night, what else could she do now? She was just an ordinary little girl, how could she resist such a terrible monster. "If I die, I don't know what my father will do, will he be able to live alone?" She was thinking about it for the last time.

"Don't worry, I'm not dead yet!"

This sentence suddenly stirred Tingting, and she suddenly opened her eyes and saw the shore in the pool of blood standing up like a carp. Surprised, he saw a violent vibration of flesh and blood around Lu Pan's body, and tilted his head and torso like an epileptic patient. In the blink of an eye, his lost body tissue swelled and formed like a sponge absorbing water, and his newborn arms were exposed in the air, white and red, and there were wisps of white steam.

Not only Tingting and Chubby were stunned, but the cat and dog monster also leaned over the ground, turned their heads to look carefully, and seemed to feel incredible.

"Are you alright?" Tingting asked tremblingly.

"Rest assured, and I'll keep you safe." Lu Pan seemed to be suddenly full of confidence, and he jumped over with an arrow, slamming his feet on the ground, making a loud crash that did not match his weight. The monster dodged his swift kick one sideways, but was trapped in the middle of two stout cedar trees, and its ox-like size became a burden. And Lu Pan stepped on the trunk of the tree, flew around the old forest freely, saw the opportunity, and one fell unexpectedly and straddled the monster's body. He had wanted to wrap his legs around the monster's fragile neck. But the monster's reaction was also very fast, and the moment it pounced on the land side, it rushed forward, leaving him in a vacant position, and only his abdomen was clamped. But Lu Pan only tightened his legs slightly, and the monster jumped up and down and went wild, and it seemed that the soft belly was also one of its weak points.

Tingting saw Lu Pan's fight with the monster, and seemed to have picked up some confidence and hope, she pulled Xiao Pang to get up, a little away, but still secretly cheered Lu Pan up.

Now Lu Pan is like a cowboy, but under his crotch is a vicious beast, although it is difficult to ride a tiger, but his newborn right arm, which is thicker than before, firmly chokes the monster's thick mane neck, no matter how violently it collides and sways, it is tightly supported on its back. Just as he was anxious, Lu Pan's face began to turn redder and redder as he gritted his teeth, and two horn-like solids slowly emerged from the top of his head, faintly reddish in the dark night.

Originally, the new limbs that suddenly appeared on Lu Pan were beyond the scope of human physical fitness, and now there were strange changes that were inhuman, which made the pale little fat even more alarmed, he pressed his head with both hands, and began to babble, "Lu Pan...... It's not human! He's a monster too! How can this be, how can this be ......"

Lu Pan, who was still riding a monster, probably heard Xiaopang's words, and suddenly frowned, gritted his teeth, his canine teeth stretched abruptly, and his mouth also showed signs of protruding forward. From Tingting's point of view, he doesn't really look like a human anymore.

The cat and dog monster seemed to have taken advantage of this opportunity, shook off the thick snow-white tail whip behind him, and suddenly attacked the land side that was trying to choke his throat. Although Lu Pan intuitively dodged the whip, he was tied to his relatively weak left arm. This form reversal, he lost the initiative, one hand was pinned, the monster's most powerful head was liberated, and he could be violently jumped down by the monster at any time to bite back.

When the cat and dog monster jumped, Lu Pan's legs, which had been tight, were finally a little weak, and under the pull of the tail whip, his whole body began to hang a little. This made Tingting, who was watching the battle, anxious, as if Lu Ban would be torn apart by angry monsters in the next second. But then, an even more eerie picture appeared.

The exhausted land shore emitted a roar that humans could never make, like the symphony of apes and wolves. I saw that his face was hairy, his mouth was getting longer and longer, and his eyes were shifted to the sides of his head, which also emitted green fluorescence. At this time, his face looked like a ferocious gray wolf, but a pair of thick horns on the top of his head looked strange. The furry right arm seemed to be thickened, and the monster's tail wrapped around the left arm was torn off at once. When the monster let out a painful howl, another pair of thick arms stretched out from his back, and with all four hands, there was a crisp "click", and the neck of the cat and dog monster was twisted at once.

Although the monster swallowed, Lu Pan did not stop attacking, and after howling excitedly, he seemed to be still unsatisfied with this battle, and kept stepping on the corpse, constantly tearing the monster's flesh with his fangs, until blue blood oozed everywhere on the white hair of the cat and dog monster.

Tingting and Chubby were so frightened by this scene that they didn't dare to act rashly, because the land in front of them was too weird. He was no longer the same boy as he used to be, standing up straight and taller than an adult, and his limbs were so strong that his clothes were completely crumbling, revealing long hairs that were so dense that he could not see the flesh.

"Lu Pan, are you okay?" In the end, it was the life-saving benefactor who helped them out of the siege, Tingting mustered up the courage to approach, wanting to try to communicate with this friend who was already a monster. But Lu Pan didn't pay attention, he stuffed his whole head into the belly of the cat and dog monster, and made a burst of licking sounds. The sound sent shudders down the sleeve of Tingting, similar to the appearance of a meal of carnivores in the animal world on television. "Landside...... Are you still on the land side? She asked again.

Chubby hid behind her and whispered, "Xiaoting, I'...... How do you feel like he's out of his mind? As soon as the words fell, Lu Pan suddenly pulled his wolf head out of the flesh, only shrugged his nose, and then fluttered his four arms and pounced fiercely at the two of them. Chubby screamed until his legs sifted through chaff and urinated incontinently. Tingting was also so frightened that she almost passed out, but fortunately, when she leaned back, her back hit the half-crouched little fat head, and with the sound of silver bells in her ears, she woke up at once.

Lu Pan's attack did not come as expected, Tingting sat paralyzed in the pile of dead branches, and looked up, there were two more figures on both sides of the irritable Lu Pan, one high and one low, and they were Lu Pan's parents. Each of them put a hand on Lu Pan's shoulder, and the corner of the yellow paper spell seemed to be exposed under the palm, and Lu Pan lowered his head, his body shrank sharply, and finally shed his hair and turned back into a naked little boy. Mother Lu was wearing a wide-sleeved robe, and she immediately hugged Lu Pan, who was already unconscious, into her arms and covered it, with a pair of brittle silver bells pinned to her waist, which made Tingting feel a little relieved.

"This kid actually sneaked out and caused such a catastrophe." Lu Pan's father trampled off the dead branch at his feet, and his face was angry. Lu Pan's mother didn't seem to hear her husband's complaints, shook the son in her arms, and sighed, "I don't know how many years I haven't hugged Pan'er, but I didn't expect it to be so heavy." ”

"That, uncle and aunt, thank you." Tingting didn't dare to look directly at the two, only at the pair of shaking silver bells. But Lu Pan's parents didn't answer in a voice, and they only heard the footsteps of Lu Pan's father stepping on the defeated leaves and walking towards Tingting. "Auntie, uncle, we really want to thank ......" Just as Chubby also said hello, Tingting suddenly heard the crisp flick of the short knife out of its sheath, which cut through the quiet night for a moment and hit her neck. She knew that she was going to be finished, and the thick killing intent overshadowed the smell of blood on the ground, stinging her blood cold.

"What are you doing here?"

Tingting's vision gradually cleared again, and he saw Lu Pan's mother holding Lu's father's arm and yelling to stop it, and the dagger that flashed with cold light stayed an inch in front of his neck.

"What am I doing? What are you doing to stop me? They see what they shouldn't see, and they must die. You don't have to be indecisive all the time. Father Lu's eyes swept around, and it seemed that some nearby residents heard the sound of the battle just now, and hid in the darkness to look.

"Don't do anything like that again! They are still children, innocent. Mother Lu glared back at Father Lu with murderous intent, and snatched the dagger with the scabbard. After the blade was inserted, it was put on Lu Pan, who was lying flat in the back, and then Lu Mu walked up to Tingting and Xiaopang, and looked at them with a smile, "Two children, promise me, don't tell anyone what you see today." I don't want you to die because of this, okay? ”

"Good ......" the two of them even said in unison at the end of the long tense end.

"Okay, then let's pull the hook."

Father Lu looked at his wife's extremely serious gaze, and finally reluctantly acquiesced. So, the little fingers of the three people intertwined, so that this restless night also temporarily settled. Of course, this is only temporary, the appearance of unprovoked monsters, how can it be accidental, tonight is destined to be extraordinary.

An ordinary puppy can mutate into a man-eating monster like a cow and a tiger, but an ordinary little boy can quickly heal his broken arm and transform into a half-human, half-wolf horned monster. But now, she didn't think there were too many surprises. She thinks that this cat and dog monster is probably the poison in people's mouths, because she occasionally hears the neighbors mention that there are still small poisons running around in the city today. As for Lu Pan's strange appearance, it is probably because of some kind of magic, with the precedent of Liang Leon Lotus Pupil's strong self-healing ability on the body, she feels that Lu Pan of the magic family should also be able to use special magic to complete this series of transformations.

Just as Tingting was on the way back with Xiaopang, a cold wind hit, and she subconsciously sneezed, but there was a pungent fishy smell in her nose. looked at the chubby next to him, who was frowning, and made a "smack" sound in his nose.

"Does it smell strange?" She asked.

"Well, it's kind of like blood, and it feels like something is burning." Chubby had not recovered from the previous fright, but now he was forced to cheer up because of this strange smell.

Hearing this, Tingting shuddered, the smell of blue blood of cats and dogs and monsters just now, she could smell it, it was very different from the smell of human blood, it was a sour rust smell with the smell of ink, "Don't scare me." Are you sure it smells of blood? This is certainly not the smell left over from the fight with the monster on the shore just now, could it be that there is such poison in other places? And, someone may have been killed......"

"Probably not...... Have you ever killed a fish? ”

"I've killed it."

"I feel like I've cut a fish, wrapped it in three layers of plastic bag, grilled it and sprinkled with blood."

"No one would do that, would they?" Chubby's strange metaphor is impossible for Tingting to refute, because what he said is so apt. And Xiaopang suddenly thought of something, looked uneasy, and began to shout in a sharp voice, "No one will fall down the candle and catch fire." ”

In winter, now there is no reminder from the old man who struck the gong in the middle of the night, and an inadvertent fire candle may kill a family. But how is this possible? Even if there is a fire, it is impossible to be undetectable in the darkness, let alone a strong smell of blood.
