Chapter 8 Parasitism

Day 3, early in the morning.

A white ape carried a bundle of white animal bones on his shoulder, and a animal skin bag straddled his body, his body was like the wind, flying in the mountains and forests, and he jumped nearly ten zhang.

Yuan Ming followed the route he had come from and began to rush back.

Towards noon, he returned to the place where he had been attacked by the black bear.

The black bear is a beast with a strong sense of territory, and usually rarely leaves the place where it originally lived and reproduced, and the reason why Yuan Ming wanted to return here was because the target he wanted to hunt was the black bear.

After arriving at the place, Yuan Ming untied the bundle of green wolf beast bones from his body, picked out a thick tibia from it, clasped his hands tightly, and began to dig a pit under a slope.

Although Yuan Ming's strength has recovered a lot and he has basically adapted to this body, he still has no intention of fighting the black bear head-on, but intends to use a more secure method such as a trap.

The soil in the mountains and forests was soft, and after a while, Yuan Ming dug a pit that was two feet deep and no more than six feet in circumference.

He dug many small pits at the bottom of the pit, and inserted the ribs of the green wolves into them one by one, and tamped the soil.

The top of those upside-down ribs has been sharpened by Yuan Ming, and they are as sharp as the tip of a knife.

Then he found a few dead branches, staggered them over the pit, gathered some dead leaves from the surrounding area, picked them up, and scattered them evenly on them, covering the hole tightly.

After doing this, Yuan Ming tied a piece of the shoulder blade of the green wolf to his chest with a tree vine, protecting his heart like a heart guard, and then picked up the two shin bones that he had sharpened like a short spear and held them in his hand.

After waiting for a long time, Yuan Ming didn't wait for the black bear to appear.

After thinking about it for a while, he immediately stabbed a white bone gun into the palm of his hand.

After seeing blood coming out of his palm, Yuan Ming immediately smeared some of the blood on the trees around the trap, allowing the smell of blood to spread as much as possible.

Then, he grabbed some dirt from the ground, smeared the wound indiscriminately, and then grasped the bone spear and waited for the black bear to take the bait.

Yuan Ming climbed an old tree, and after waiting for a long time, there was a sound of grass and trees stirring in the mountains and forests, accompanied by a heavy wheezing sound.

He followed the sound and soon saw the figure of the black bear.

I saw a bush that was broken away by the huge body of the black bear, and it staggered towards this side.

"Huh, it looks like it's hurt?" Seeing this, Yuan Ming's brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

He looked at the black bear carefully for a moment, but he didn't see any obvious wounds on its body, but judging from the black bear's running state, it was obviously a little strange.

"Could it be poisoned?" Yuan Ming was puzzled.

If that's the case, it's a godsend.

Yuan Ming was not sure that he had such good luck, so he did not attack rashly, but just waited for the black bear to fall into the trap.

I saw that the black bear came here, sniffed at the blood stains on the trees one by one, and suddenly raised its head and let out a violent roar, and its eyes were glowing with some abnormal red, as if covered with a layer of shadow.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming became more and more sure that something was wrong with the black bear in front of him.

The black bear searched left and right, but found no prey, and his footsteps kept sticking to the edge of the trap, but it was always a little bit close, and it never fell.

Yuan Ming was anxious to see it on the tree, and after waiting for a while, he finally decided to do it.

With a vine hanging from a tree hanging from a tree wrapped around one of his arms and a white bone spear in his other hand, he jumped down from the old tree, and then the vine swung towards the black bear.

"Get down for me."

Yuan Ming shouted loudly in his heart, and his legs rushed towards the black bear like two hitting the goalpost.

At this moment, the black bear was also keenly aware of the danger from behind him, and his body suddenly twisted, and the moment he saw Yuan Ming, he was ferocious, and the two bear paws slapped towards Yuan Ming.

There was a "bang".

Yuan Ming's legs kicked on the black bear's palms, and two powerful forces recoiled, first knocking Yuan Ming backwards and flying back, and then knocking the black bear to a stumble.

The black bear took a step back, and the back half of his heel had already stepped on the branch where Yuan Ming had set up a trap, but it stopped retreating and did not fall.

On the contrary, Yuan Ming was like swinging, and after being knocked away, he swung back again.

The black bear watched Yuan Ming rush towards him again, but this time he didn't slap him again, but took the initiative to take a step forward, and grabbed his legs with a wave of his two paws.

How could Yuan Ming do what he wanted, the white bone short spear in his hand suddenly threw it with all his strength.

When the black bear saw the spear coming towards the door in front of him, he immediately waved his claws to block, but he couldn't stop it, allowing it to slide past against his arm.

There was a "poof" sound.

Yuan Ming's short spear pierced straight into the black bear's eye socket, spraying a ball of blood.

"Roaring ......"

The black bear was in pain and let out an angry roar from its mouth.

At this time, Yuan Ming had already rushed to the front again, and his legs kicked its chest.

Before the black bear could react from the sharp pain in its eyes, it had already lost its balance and fell backwards.

"Click"

The sound of the trap branch breaking sounded, and the black bear smashed through the floating soil and dead leaves on it, and fell.

Immediately afterward, there was another earth-shattering roar, but the sound became extremely poignant, like a wail.

Yuan Ming jumped to the ground, and hurriedly came to the pit to check, and saw that the black bear was lying on its back inside, with the backs of his hands and one thigh pierced by the white bone spikes buried underneath.

There is a wound on the chest and lower abdomen, revealing only a small white bone tip.

The black bear was spilling blood from its mouth and nose, and it was still struggling violently, and it kept roaring in its mouth.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming turned around and returned to the tree, took another white bone short spear, and planned to end the pain of the black bear immediately.

But when he returned to the edge of the pit, he was suddenly dumbfounded.

The bottom of the pit was messy, and the white bone spikes were scattered all over the ground, and there were obviously red blood stains on them, but the black bear was gone.

Before Yuan Ming could figure out what was going on, there was a sudden wind behind him.

Yuan Ming secretly said "not good" in his heart, and immediately received a heavy blow to his waist, and the whole person seemed to have been punched by something, and he was smashed forward and flew out.

His figure crossed the pit and hit a tree three or four feet away before falling.

Yuan Ming endured the pain, struggled to get up and turned around, and before he could see the situation behind him, a black shadow flashed in front of him, and a hot pain immediately came from his cheeks.

He raised his hand and wiped it, his face was dripping with blood, and when he looked forward again, he couldn't help but froze.

I saw a ...... hanging on the tree seven or eight feet away in front of him An indescribable monster.

The reason why it is indescribable is because its main body is the black bear, but in the wound on its body, at this moment, there are blue and black vines the thickness of an adult's arm growing out.

The two thickest of them grew from its chest, one extending to a branch above, lifting the black bear's body into the air.

What's even more weird is that on the left eye of the black bear that was pierced by Yuan Ming, there is a six-petal red lotus full of flesh at this moment, and there is a dense white stamen growing in the center of it, which is squirming wildly, like a circle of white fine teeth, which makes people feel cold at the back of their spines.

"What the hell is this?" Yuan Ming couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Judging by the strange state of the black bear at the moment, it seems that it is parasitic with something.

At this moment, the monster moved again, and the vines that extended from the black bear's body flicked into the air again, pumping towards Yuan Ming.

Yuan Ming hurriedly bent down and rolled forward, trying to dodge.

But the vine changed direction in mid-air as if it had eyes, and it still whipped him on the back, directly tearing a hot blood mark.

Yuan Ming got up in pain, intending to flee first.

If he faced that black bear, he still knew the bottom and had the confidence to fight, but he didn't know anything about this strange thing in front of him, and he didn't even know how to kill it, how to fight?

Seeing him turn and run away, the parasitic monster didn't intend to let him go, and two vines flew out from left and right, attacking him at the same time.

Yuan Ming hurriedly dodged, but his speed was not as good as that, and as soon as he dodged the left one, his right leg was entangled by another vine, and he was directly pulled to the ground and dragged back.

He rolled over, keeping his face at the monster, and when he tried to attack with his short spear, a vine had already wrapped around him again, tying him up into a dumpling.

This time, Yuan Ming didn't even have a chance to fight back at the last time.

In this way, he was pulled by the vine and came to the front of the "black bear".

When he arrived, Yuan Ming was surprised to find that the black bear was not dead, its other blood-red eyes were still rolling, and its mouth was open and closed, making a heavy wheezing sound.

Yuan Ming's eyes rolled, and he immediately seemed to think of something.

Since this thing is a parasite, as long as it completely kills the living thing it parasitizes, it is equivalent to cutting off its vitality, and as long as it completely kills the black bear, it will not live.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

I saw that the chest of the black bear suddenly split a gap, and the ribs inside seemed to be two rows of interlaced bone claws, splitting to both sides, revealing a bright red heart, still beating "poof, poof".

Yuan Ming saw at a glance that there was a black sarcoma-like thing growing on the heart, with several black filaments extending from it, piercing into all parts of the heart, as if it was absorbing the blood inside and feeding himself.

Just when Yuan Ming thought he was going to be eaten, the vines that bound him suddenly loosened in circles, exposing his chest.

Yuan Ming suddenly understood that the black bear's body was already seriously injured and broken, and this thing could only continue to survive if it was replaced with a new host, not to eat itself, but to parasitize him as a new host.
