Section 14 Caves

After a day of hustle and bustle, the camp gradually fell silent, and only curling green smoke drifted into the dark purple sky.

A figure stealthily opened the door, poked its head out and looked around, and when it saw nothing unusual, it came out of the crack in the door, carefully closed the wooden door, and trotted all the way to the woodland at the edge of the camp.

The slag-paved road was cleared of snow, but when the figure approached the woods, the snow began to thicken.

The figure slowed down and staggered forward in the snow, looking around as it walked, as if afraid of missing something.

When the figure came to the place where the Malays had disappeared, they stopped, clasping their shoulders and waiting for something.

One minute...... Two minutes......

Time passed minute by minute, and a full ten minutes passed, but nothing happened.

"My lord, are you waiting?" In the channel, the voice of the man in glasses sounded, "That thing won't come again, will it?" ”

The figure in the darkness of the night still stood quietly, and did not move except for the occasional trembling.

Faint, staccato voices float out of the channel.

“…… Our judgment seems to be skewed......"

“…… Re-enactment ......"

“……”

The figure only tightened its collar, and the whole person leaned against the tree, as if it was a little sleepy.

The discussion in the channel continued, and the figure had been motionless for a long time, as if it had fallen asleep in the ice and snow.

Suddenly!

The figure has moved!

A dazzling arc of blue light streaked across the void! It's as if something has been cut off.

"Squeak————

With a scream, half of the fleshy tentacle fell at the feet of the figure, and even though it had broken away from its body, the life force of the thing was still unimaginably tenacious, struggling desperately on the ground like a fish on the shore.

"You've finally appeared, Blackskin." Chen Zheng's voice appeared in the woods—between the figures who seemed to have slept before, lifted their hoods, revealing Chen Zheng's face.

That's his plan.

After Chen Zheng knew that they planned to meet here tonight, he thought of this solution.

However, Chen Zheng missed a little, he didn't expect that thing's senses to be so keen, maybe from the moment Chen Zheng first appeared, he knew that his target had been stolen.

But even so, Chen Zheng still didn't give up, pretending to be sleepy, and sure enough, he brought out something hidden in the dark.

"Ga ————"

The monster figure with one tentacle severed roared angrily at Chen Zheng, and then fled into the darkness in the distance without looking back.

"Run?!" Chen Zheng tiptoed a little, and suddenly appeared in front of the strange man, blocking his retreat.

"Roar————

The tentacles behind the strange man waved suddenly, and I saw that the tentacles were slightly blurred, and they were so fast that they seemed to disappear from the air! Immediately afterwards, the huge force smashed down the place where Chen Zheng had been standing.

However, Chen Zheng's deity was no longer there.

"Sure enough, it's you." Chen Zheng shook the lightsaber in his hand, and saw the face clearly through the blue light on the lightsaber.

The weirdo's bodysuit was a little out of shape, and there were a few holes in his pants, revealing a patch of dark skin. It can be said that except for the tentacles that grow on his back, there is no change in the facial features and figure of the strange man.

"Black skin?"

"Ha-ga-" Blackskin called out at Chen Zheng like some kind of ferocious beast.

Chen Zheng noticed that there was no trace of humanity in his eyes, only wild instinct and naked greed.

！！

Just as Chen Zheng was observing it, the black skin with tentacles took the initiative to attack!

The long tentacles all moved out of the nest and frantically pumped in the direction of Chen Zheng. However, no matter how fast the tentacle was, it was impossible to be faster than Chen Zheng, he only needed one thought, one thought, and he would disappear from the same place and now in another place.

As long as Chen Zheng didn't make a mistake, those tentacles wouldn't be able to hurt him no matter what.

"Squeak————

The humanoid monster screamed, and the tentacles on its back were cut off by Chen Zheng again.

"Blackskin, can you hear me? If you can hear it, you blink. ”

Chen Zheng used his lightsaber to clean up the black-skinned tentacles, and at the same time kept communicating with him in a calm tone.

"Ga ————"

After the humanoid monster lost a tentacle again, it seemed that it had already discovered that Chen Zheng was not easy to mess with, so it simply stopped fighting, turned around and ran towards the boundless darkness.

“…… Watch your speed, don't get too close, don't push it to go, and try to make it think it's escaped ascension. Lao Wang's voice came from the earphones.

“……”

Chen Zheng didn't answer, but the attack in his hand slowly eased, as if his physical strength was exhausted.

The humanoid monster grabbed Chen Zheng's "negligence" and turned around and ran.

"Drones keep up." Chen Zheng's voice appeared in the channel for the first time.

"Yes."

In the sky, several black dots changed direction and aimed their infrared detectors at the route of Blackskin's escape.

“…… My lord, there is no infrared display other than you. ”

“…… There is no signal from the Life Detector either......"

"Keep tracking with me as the coordinates." Chen Zheng followed behind Heipi unhurriedly, and the infrared equipment and life detection equipment could not detect it, which Chen Zheng had long expected.

If it hadn't, it wouldn't have been able to infiltrate the logging site – most of the camp's public spaces have been equipped with cameras to monitor the mood of the refugees.

The humanoid monster and Chen Zheng rushed in a certain direction one after the other...... Soon came to the place where the young man in white blew himself up.

"Here!?" Chen Zheng was slightly stunned.

When he first saw the shell that resembled Zero, he thought there was something wrong with the abandoned camp.

I saw the humanoid monster jump into the huge crater with ease, and in an instant it was into an inconspicuous cave.

"This is!?"

Chen Zheng looked at the newly appeared cave on the crater and was a little stunned - he didn't remember that there was such a hole here, and in order to find parts to repair the BT, he searched the entire crater inside and out!

However, there is now a new cave in the crater wall......

“…… Those things can really make holes......" Chen Zheng rubbed his eyebrows and said with a headache.

He had already figured out why there was a hole in the cave wall, and it must have been the smell of zero crystals in the dust after the explosion of the red lotus, which attracted the terrifying parasite.

But...... Why is black skin parasitized?
