Chapter 234: Breeding
Shocked by the jade book, the slugs that flew out upside down slammed into the stone wall.
However, the mucus on the slug's body played a wonderful role in unloading and dissipating force, and it was already soft, so it was not directly smashed.
However, although the slug was not dead, its breath did weaken a lot, and it slid limply down from the wall and piled up on the ground.
Of course, such a scene has long been within Lin Xixue's expectations, so naturally there is nothing to talk about dropping his jaw.
What really made her unable to look directly was that more than a dozen giant slugs lying on the wall saw that this slug was injured, and suddenly they had no interest in Lin Xixue, and turned to squirm towards the injured slug.
Lin Xixue thought that the injured slug was about to be eaten, but she never thought that the slugs that arrived first actually climbed onto the back of the injured slug.
The two slugs clung to each other and began to roll on the ground in their arms.
The soft but rather muscular limbs twisted together, curled into thick twists dripping with slime, and watching the two twisted slime creatures roll on the ground, Lin Xixue actually saw a rather lingering sense of compassion.
But she realized in an instant that something was wrong, and this feeling was obviously abnormal. At the earliest, after she worshipped the statue of Tianzun in the Jieshi Cave, she also felt for a moment that the statue of Tianzun had a strange beauty.
That weird feeling is surprisingly similar to what I feel right now.
No, this place should not stay for a long time, it must be resolved quickly, and if you continue to stay like this, I am afraid that you will go crazy again.
She drew her sword and slashed, killing all the slugs in the cave in an instant, but the vitality of these slugs was unexpectedly strong, and she had cut them into several pieces, but the remnants were still rolling and wriggling.
Now that her consciousness was depleted, she could no longer use the karmic fire, and she could not burn it clean, so she had to avoid these still writhing slug fragments and continue to explore the depths.
At this moment, she walked on the ground, only to feel that the touch under her feet was more slippery, as if she was walking on a somewhat soft ice rink.
As she chopped the slugs forward, she gradually saw a lot of human clothing wrapped in slime appear above the ground.
There were all sorts of clothes, ranging from coarse cloth shorts that were obviously worn by the housekeepers, to some of which were quite luxurious silk satins, apparently the clothes of Miss Childe.
Could it be that this Yan Mansion has been eaten by these slugs, from Miss Gongzi to the servants?
But that doesn't make sense, does it? If everyone was really eaten, it was impossible that no one would find out, at least Yan Yu, as the first assistant of the current dynasty, suddenly did not go to the early dynasty, and the emperor Lao'er had to send someone to investigate.
If Yan Yu didn't go to the early dynasty, it would never be possible to hide from the sky and the sea for so long. Besides, if there is no one who goes out all day in this huge Yan Mansion, it is impossible not to arouse suspicion.
If it wasn't eaten, where did the owner of the garment go?
She pointed at the sword, picked up a piece of clothing in the air, and examined it carefully. Although covered in slime, there was no mold growth in such a damp and dark environment, and it felt like it had been left here not long ago.
But beyond that, she couldn't see anything else, so she had to keep exploring.
She finally came to the end of the cavern, at the end of which was a large spherical cavern, and at the bottom of the cavern, she found the owner of the clothes.
These people are men and women, and each of them has a slug attached to their bodies, which is attached either to the front of the abdomen or to the back of the waist, and the whole body is like a huge vacuum suction cup, firmly attached to the skin.
The soft limbs extending from the abdomen tightly encircled the subject, making it impossible for the other party to break free.
However, these "humans" who were caught by the slugs did not seem to have the will to struggle, and all of them showed a look of bliss.
But Lin Xixue was a little unsure whether these "humans" who were absorbed by slugs could really be called human beings.
The bodies of these "humans" have begun to undergo varying degrees of erosion and mutation, and the shallower ones can barely maintain their human form, but they have characteristics that do not belong to their respective genders.
What is deep is that the skin and flesh have taken on a transparent gelatinous state, and the bones of the limbs have gradually degenerated, becoming a state that is almost squid's foot.
Lin Xixue finally realized that the people of Yan Mansion had not disappeared, but had been eroded and assimilated by these slugs!
At the same time, she suddenly remembered that in her previous life in Blue Star, many mollusks were not male and female.
She seemed to suddenly understand why the banquet suddenly became feminine, and why the many "humans" at the bottom of this hollow would show characteristics that were different from their own gender.
Because in the eyes of these slugs, there is no difference between male and female!
And when she saw the dense eyeball-like follicles on the ceiling, she instantly understood what these monsters were doing.
Survival, breeding, transformation, multiplication.
The current hiss in Lin Xixue's ears became more and more harsh, and she seemed to see the chaotic and disorderly multiplication that this monster population represented.
No, or more accurately, this group of monsters is the very concept of disorderly proliferation.
"Calm down, I have to be calm, I have to control this chaotic thinking."
"Breeding, multiplication, survival is necessary, joining, assimilation."
In a trance, she seemed to feel a slippery touch climbing up her back, and she was terrified in her heart, and she drove the jade book to tear violently, but the force of this tearing was in the air, and there was nothing behind her at all.
Thinking about it, it was obviously impossible for these slugs to break through the Jade Book's defenses.
"Illusion, this is an illusion, now there is no Solid God Pill to help maintain reason, you must control your own thinking, you must maintain your will." She pressed her temples, constantly hypnotizing herself, trying to maintain her crumbling sanity.
"Breeding, instinct, resistance, uselessness, returning to the arms of the mother, acceptance, blessing, transcendence."
"Where did the bullshit monster come from, look at me and behead you all, hahahahaha!"
She locked on to one of the slugs with the power of the jade book, pinched it hard with her right hand, and under the huge force of Wan Jun, the slug was instantly squeezed and burst, and the gelatinous minced meat and mucus flew sideways.
"Kill the light, kill the light, no matter what monster it is, kill all the light!"
After killing a slug, Lin Xixue's mood suddenly became extremely good, and she unconsciously sang a tune, and every time the tune fell on an accent, she would use a little bit to explode a slug.
It popped lowly, as if to be the accompaniment to the light minor key she was humming.
"Hey! You say that breeding is a biological instinct, and I also say that killing is a biological instinct! ”
"Proliferation, Survival Necessity, Argument, Meaninglessness, Breeding, Evolution, Adaptation"
These scattered gelatinous minced flesh began to turn into independent slugs, and then began to frantically devour the rocks around them, and the originally soft and slippery skin was instantly covered by a layer of hard shell.
However, Lin Xixue suddenly froze in place, and said confusedly: "Who am I talking to now?"
