Chapter 51: The Fourth Life

I was worried, so I fed it. In fact, my voice was a reminder to the evil king, but I didn't expect him to continue walking towards the lake as if he couldn't hear it at all.

The dead have noticed me. He took great interest in me, grinned, abandoned the evil king, and strode towards me.

I am right to describe it by walking, half of his body is in the water, although there is the help of the water, it does not affect him at all, and he walks very fast, it is almost no different from a normal person walking like flying on land.

He still had the big spear in his hand, and the big spear was in the water, but I didn't notice it, and now that he raised the big spear, I chuckled in my heart.

I'm afraid of him. was also confused by this scene, and couldn't help but take a step back.

The iron donkey only has a dagger, no more guns. But he still held the dagger and pressed it close to me, and for a moment he went up with me, fighting with the dead.

The Evil King was not as panicked as the two of us, he had calculated the route of the corpse and pushed half of the wooden boat out with all his might.

The wooden boat must have traveled a little ten meters forward, and it was gradually coming close to the dead body. The Evil Lord shouted at us, "Hide." Then he held his breath and squatted in the lake, but his hand with the gun was still held high.

I knew the evil king's intentions thoroughly, and I blamed myself for being too stupid to ignore the current terrain and forget that the lake is also a natural refuge.

I didn't dare to hold up the iron donkey, and I didn't have the heart to fight with the dead body, so I curled up and fell to the ground.

The corpse is not very intelligent, and it is not interested in danger, and it does not care too much about the oxygen cylinders on the half-cut wooden boat. At this time, the hand of the evil lord raising the gun moved.

He pulled the trigger first and shot out. A large number of bullets were fired at the oxygen cylinder, but unluckily, they didn't cause an explosion.

The evil king didn't give up, and pulled the trigger again. This time it worked, and several oxygen cylinders roared one after another, and the banging sound was incessant anyway. I was also excited, and every time I heard it, my heart tightened.

The corpse was so close to the oxygen cylinder that it was literally blown up. Not to mention that he has no skin, even a small piece of brain seeds is missing.

He didn't go to the shore either, but took out a posture of long teeth and five claws, fluttered in the water, and screamed a few times.

As soon as I waited for the explosion to pass, I couldn't wait to look up. I'm willing to bet that in the current state, the dead body will never live. It will be a complete "dead body".

I couldn't help but scream and got up from the ground with the iron donkey. Then the Evil Lord also stood up from the water.

We watched the corpse in silence, and I noticed that something strange had happened, a strange liquid was leaving out of his nose and mouth. The liquid glowed reddish, with a few small red dots inside.

When it landed on the surface of the lake, it turned into a large pool, and it went straight to the evil king.

I have a bad thought, this liquid is alive, and even has signs of life, it is going to stick to the evil king, and the ghost knows what the consequences will be?

I remind the evil king. In fact, as far as I can think of, the evil lord has long been aware.

He waved his hand at me, still looking so calm, and he immediately set off and walked back to the shore step by step. It's just that he doesn't walk as fast as the liquid flows.

Before I could get ashore, the liquid had already been left behind the Evil Lord, and I estimated that in a few blinks of an eye, it would be able to touch the Evil Lord's body.

I'm in a hurry, and I have to remind the evil king. But the evil king has eyes behind him, or he has calculated the time accurately.

He jerked his head and slammed his shotgun twice into the red liquid.

The whole liquid was beaten and rippled, and then it spread out, becoming small pieces after small pieces, and it did not chase the evil king.

The Evil Monarch snorted coldly and set off again, so that he would go ashore and join us all the way.

All he thought about the wounded was about the wounded, and he immediately went to see the little man and the old cat. I followed with the iron donkey.

At this time, the old cat was also unconscious, and his state was very worrying at first glance, but I think it's a good thing, and when he wakes up, he will definitely recover a lot.

I took advantage of the time to talk to the evil lord and reassure him that there was nothing wrong with the little man and the old cat.

The Evil Lord nodded. In fact, he was already tired and sat on the ground again. I sat next to him with the iron donkey.

I thought it was time for the Evil King to tell us about what had just happened, including how he fought the dead in the lake, but the Evil King looked at the night sky and suddenly muttered, "People, why are you always not satisfied?" ”

Iron Donkey and I looked at each other, and guessed that this was not the end, and we didn't bother. After a while, the evil lord withdrew his gaze, stared at the two of us, and said, "We always talk about changing the world, creating the world, etc., but we don't know that the world will not become, and what we are doing is actually challenging the patience of the world. It is precisely because we are not satisfied that we invented cars, airplanes, tanks, which is nothing, and then we went to study nuclear bombs, to impact the world with such high-destruction weapons, and in recent years, there have been genetically modified organisms, what is this doing? Creation? Once one day, the world can't stand it anymore, won't it move its anger and completely wipe out us human beings? ”

I think the evil king's words are quite reasonable, but the question is what does it have to do with the trouble we just had? I didn't want to hear him continue to say this, so I simply answered, "What the hell is going on with the dead bodies and those heads?" How can you still be alive and attack people in the sea? ”

This is also the question in the iron donkey's heart, and he gestured to know it too.

The Evil Lord suddenly sneered and asked the two of us, "Do you know that there is a fourth life form in this world?" ”

The iron donkey shook his head, and I thought about it, and asked tentatively, "Is Tai Sui counted?" ”

The evil monarch replied, and said in detail, "Tai Sui is the fourth life form in nature that is not plant, non-animal and non-fungal, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is a large slime mold complex, but under the microscope, its cell structure cannot be observed. And on Ghost Island, there is another kind of fourth life, which can invade **, even if it is a dead corpse, and then it will combine with the nervous system of ** and provide for it, and gradually replace the main body and become the new master of **. ”

I understand, the slime mold complex that the evil lord said is the root cause of the weirdness of the dead corpse and the nine human heads, and the red liquid left from the dead corpse just now should be the true appearance of this slime mold.

I think it's so scary, especially the word parasitic, which comes up repeatedly in my heart.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the place where I sat was very damp, and my pants were wet. I was frightened when I found out, and my body jumped up like a spring.

I thrashed myself for fear that the slime monster would hide on me.

The evil lord waved his hand again, saying that I am too sensitive, this slime fungus is a treasure, even a rare creature, and it is impossible for it to be so rampant.

The iron donkey was also dissatisfied with my actions, and said apprentice, sit back quickly and calm down.

I was still a little shadowy, and I didn't dare to sit, but I couldn't be flattened by them, so I simply made a compromise and squatted down.

The evil king no longer paid attention to me, but turned his head to stare at the iron donkey, and asked, "Black fat man, there is a treasure on the old evil, I guess it was taken away by you, right?" ”

The name "old evil" is very unfamiliar, but I can guess that it refers to the dead corpse, and the treasure it is talking about should be the bead in the chrysanthemum.

I looked at the iron donkey. In fact, as soon as this question came out, the iron donkey became particularly sensitive.

He didn't admit it on his lips, and he smiled and said what kind of baby? He didn't know anything about it.

But all this was not hidden from the eyes of the evil king, he seemed to be able to penetrate the body of the iron donkey and directly see the heart of the iron donkey.

The evil king didn't embarrass the iron donkey, just waved his hand and said, the bead is not his, and the iron donkey can use it however he wants.

After that, he glanced at the old cat with great meaning, and the iron donkey quickly changed the subject, trying to distract the evil king by talking nonsense about something else.

The evil king didn't want to listen to it, so he waved his hand to interrupt the iron donkey's conversation after a few casual conversations, and told us that we would spend the night here, and when it was dawn, we would set off again.

Speaking from the heart, with the Evil Lord coming to the present, there are too many dangers encountered, and the eight of us are now more or less injured, I don't want to continue, otherwise it is very likely that no one will return to the Sea King alive.

But if you think about it differently, Iron Donkey and I can't part ways with the evil king, otherwise we can't understand how we got all this way, let alone go back.

I stubbornly and reluctantly found an open space to lie down. The temperature in Onishima is moderate, and the nights are not too freezing. In addition to taking a nap, I also got up halfway to check on the wounded.

But nothing went wrong that night, and early the next morning, the evil king woke us up and shouted to go.

The injured little man couldn't walk yet, and had to be helped by a companion, but after a night of conditioning, the old cat was still much better than me, although he couldn't recover to his usual level.

Our group hit the road and climbed up the cliff. My Iron Donkey Old Cat and the Evil Lord originally came down from the cliff, so it was relatively easy to climb back, and even some experience. Know where to get around.

After climbing to the top, the evil lord let us walk along the riverbank to the outside of the forbidden area, and the rest of the place is easy to say, and when we cross the thorny ground, we will delay a little.

It was impossible to cut all these thorns, so we had to change our tactics, stick to the edge of the thorns, and dip half of our bodies in the river, so that we could overcome the current and walk over.

Of course, we don't dare to go too far from the shore, otherwise we won't be swept away, but if we get closer, we can easily be scratched by thorns.

When I finally walked out of this area, I looked at my hands full of small mouths and sighed helplessly.

I remember that we were hungry without dry food, and now I find that there is no sign of fish swimming in the river, and there are very few hoof prints in the forest by the roadside.

I don't want us to drink the northwest wind, so how can we have the strength to continue to move forward and deep? I'll be honest with you.

The evil king replied that I should not be in a hurry, and pointed to the river and said, "How can you be sure that there is no food here?" ”
