Chapter 51: Uniting the Individual
Today's situation is a three-way confrontation, whether it is monsters and people, monsters and monsters, they are all malicious and wary of each other.
The knife swung between Yan Jingxing's fingers, like a fish swimming in the water. The presentation effect is naturally not as flexible as just now, but it can already be regarded as a pleasing performance.
After the combat instinct was activated, he used the weapons in his opponents like arms, so that his skillful skills gradually began to imprint in the depths of his body; Therefore, even in a normal state, Yan Jingxing was still gradually able to master certain skills, which he couldn't do before.
And with the use of the ability again and again, the deepening of this imprint, sooner or later, Yan Jingxing will be able to maintain the ability of the flying knife master even without activating his instinct.
Others may need to practice hard for more than ten years or decades, but he can achieve "corner overtaking" through superpowers.
Now he is thinking about one thing: when he hunted and killed the hairless before, Yan Jingxing first used a flying knife to restrict the movement of the patients, and then let the eldest lady use her mind to forcibly pull the hairless away;
But now, Xie Yuzhi is not around, and under the premise of only five flying knives in his hand, it is difficult to face the situation of more than a dozen people surrounding him at the same time, and he can also ensure that everyone's actions are restricted without harming their lives......
In other words, even if it is to protect himself, he has to learn to be ruthless.
Yan Jingxing sighed silently.
When he activates his instincts, he will be able to make the right choice without hesitation.
……
At the same time, the split-headed dog was staring at the patients parasitized by the hairless, a pair of animal eyes emitting a fierce light, and saliva was unconsciously flowing from Bai Sensen's fangs.
It seems that it is really gluttonous.
However, although he was at the top of the food chain of the hairless, the split-headed man still showed a certain degree of restraint and caution at this moment, otherwise the dog would have pounced and gnawed off one by one.
Could it be because of the quantity?
Just as he was thinking this, the patients suddenly opened their mouths wide one by one, their facial expressions became distorted and painful, the muscles on their raised necks erupted, and their throats emitted a disjointed inhalation sound of "ho-ho".
Because his mouth was opened too hard, Yan Jingxing was sure that he heard the sound of more than one person's jaw directly dislocated.
The next moment, the leech monsters slowly crawled out of their host's mouth, and they fell to the ground and meandered, leaving wet trails.
These monsters have translucent bodies, all of them are bloated and swollen, and there are faint blood streaks floating on the surface, and it seems that they have "eaten and drunk" in the patient's body.
And after the hairless ones left, the sick people all fell down as if their souls had been drained, and at once they fell into a piece, like wheat blown by the wind and waves.
Why did they come out of nowhere? Yan Jingxing was a little puzzled, this is tantamount to exposing his weaknesses, and it won't do any good for the battle, right?
The split-headed dog did not miss this opportunity, and took advantage of the pause between the "leeches" to break away from their shells, and immediately pounced viciously
The hairless is an invertebrate that looks like it can only crawl slowly on the ground, but in fact, the muscles beneath its skin give these monsters incredible bouncing abilities.
But these skills, compared with the split-headed dog, are naturally a small thing, only to see the black dog rabbit rise and fall, so he stepped on one end with his claws, bit the other with his mouth, and the sharp teeth easily pierced the tenacious muscles of the hairless man, and bit deeply into the epidermis.
The hairless man writhed and struggled desperately, and from the fat and bloated translucent body, a large amount of gray-green unidentified tissue fluid burst out.
This picture is disgusting and terrifying, and it is simply "inappropriate for children".
Yan Jingxing thought about it, he didn't get close to the battlefield, and used two knives to nail him to death one by one, leaving three for self-defense.
The split-headed dog was chewing happily, and when it saw that two more were suddenly dead, it looked at Yan Jingxing's beast pupils revealing a humane complaint, it seemed to hate that someone snatched its prey.
Under the combined attack of one man and one beast, more than ten seconds passed, and the hairless people who were scurrying around the corridor trying to dodge the attack had lost nearly half of their number.
…… This group of monsters came out, is it just to send them to death?
No, it shouldn't be that simple.
Under Yan Jingxing's gaze, the remaining seven leech monsters that were alive successfully hugged into a ball by taking advantage of the "sacrifice" of their companions.
This state is familiar, as they have witnessed the appearance of insect clumps on more than one occasion, which seems to be a certain habit peculiar to this group.
At this time, he noticed that after the worm mass formed, the split-headed dog stopped attacking.
What's going on......?
Seeing that it didn't move, Yan Jingxing didn't move out of caution.
Again, since the splitter is the natural enemy of the hairless, he should know how to deal with the leech monster and also know its special abilities, so no matter what the dog does, he just needs to follow suit.
Sure enough, Yan Jingxing quickly noticed that after forming a worm clump, a large amount of sticky liquid suddenly appeared on the hairless ones—their bodies were already covered with mucus, but the amount secreted at this time was not at the same level at all.
The slime that flowed down fell to the ground and accumulated into a small pool of water, which seemed to have a slight corrosive effect, and a faint white smoke came out of contact with the concrete floor.
If he had approached hastily just now, there was no guarantee that there would be no accident.
The hairless ones secrete a large amount of mucus in a very short time, and quickly envelop the whole mass of worms, as if they are fused together......
No, not "as if" -
Yan Jingxing frowned deeply.
This strange slime seems to be equally effective for the hairless themselves, and the bodies of the leech monsters, which are covered in thick slime, begin to melt little by little, losing their original contours, like plastic heated in a microwave oven.
Immediately after, an even larger leech monster was born from the foam of slime.
It was more than three and a half meters long, and its bloated body took up almost half of the corridors, much larger than the size of the split-headed dog, and the mouthparts on the top of its head opened violently, revealing a circle of sharp teeth inside.
The hairless fold crawled forward, its slightly open mouthparts easily gnawing at the corroded concrete floor, and let out a piercing low roar at the man and beast in front of him.
Yan Jingxing was stunned.
It turned out that the huge leech they saw in the underground palace that rumbled through the ground like an excavator was born in this way?
Multiple hairless individuals can be combined to produce larger individuals...... Unexpectedly, they also have this special ability.
Considering that they have just crawled out of the body of the patient, perhaps they must be used after absorbing enough nutrients.
The Split-Headed Dog sharpened its claws, and even if its prey grew in size and became larger than itself, it did not flinch in the slightest.
The two alien races have been fighting each other for countless years, and they know each other well.
Just as the two creatures were nervously confronting each other, suddenly, a huge leech spat out a mouthful of slime, not at the split-headed dog, but in the direction of Yan Jingxing, who was watching the bustle not far away.
At the same time, the split-headed dog turned its head violently, jumped onto the vertical wall next to it, and jumped high with the help of its fierce kicks, and the target of its teeth and claws was also Yan Jingxing!
“……”
A large cloud of mucus fell to the ground, making a "bang" sound; The attack of the split-headed dog also failed, but the eyeball of the deformed head was grazed with a knife, and blood splattered.
The split-headed dog howled violently, and the "quarter" was blind.
On the other side, the hairless man slid across the ground and slammed into the wall, squirting slime that landed on the fur of the split-headed dog not far away, causing it to roar again.
Yan Jingxing, who had activated his ability to run up the stairs to avoid the attack, held the last two knives behind his back, squatting steadily on the narrow handrail like an acrobat, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's falcon, and he observed the situation condescendingly.
Both monsters were huddled in the corner.
"The hunter and the prey actually worked hand in hand...... And the cooperation is quite tacit. He thought to himself, "The intelligence of the split-headed dog is very high in itself, but the hairless people of the past will only follow instinctive actions, can it be said that even the intelligence will grow in 'combined individuals'?" ”
These things are put aside for now, since the alien monsters want to kill him, then he naturally doesn't have to be polite, these two individuals have to find a way to get rid of them.
Compared to the "bonded individual" of the hairless, the split-headed dog is easier to deal with. The former is covered with a thick layer of corrosive slime, and he may have a headache to deal with with with a knife; And the latter was caught by himself in the battle just now, and he has already fallen into the disadvantage.
This does not mean that the split-headed dog is weaker than the combined individual, but only a problem of physiognomy.
Or—
Yan Jingxing's feet slipped and he stepped directly on the handrail and went down.
He can also escape.
There are less than three minutes left, and it is really reluctant to kill the hairless and the split-headed dog at the same time, so it is better to pull the two companions and leave quickly.
He himself may not have made the decision to retreat so quickly, but at the moment when his thinking completely followed rational calculations, Yan Jingxing chose to flee without hesitation.
"Wait a minute!"
The two girls were on the next floor, so Yan Jingxing quickly bumped into them.
Just as he was about to pull them to escape, Ji Chunzao stopped him.
"Let's wait and see."
“…… What's wrong? ”
Ji Chunzao held Xie Yuzhi's waist with one hand, and finally helped her to stand up, looking a little difficult. Yan Jingxing's gaze unconsciously fell on the eldest lady's face, seeing that her face was covered with sweat, and her slender eyebrows were tightly clustered, as if she had fallen into a deep nightmare.
It was the first time Yan Jingxing had seen Miss Xie look so embarrassed, and he walked over in surprise and helped Chunzao support her body together.
The girl's body is soft and boneless, and it seems that she has given all her body weight to the people around her. I don't know if it's because of the sweat soaked all over the body and the rise in body temperature, Xie Yuzhi's body originally exuded a light fragrance like flowers, which was a little stronger than usual.
Yan Jingxing knew that whether it was a "sacrifice" or a "king", they would lose their attention when they used their abilities, but it had never been so serious before, which could only prove ......
"Yuzhi is now doing her best to 'mind domination'."
Ji Chunzao seemed to be able to understand his thoughts, she said.
"So, let's wait here for now."
Yan Jingxing nodded, his gaze never took off Xie Yuzhi's face, and he looked at her with some distress and showed a painful expression from time to time, which proved that the eldest lady was overloading her abilities.
Why push yourself to such an extent? He was a little incomprehensible.
But even if he doesn't understand, he will still be by her side and support her actions.
Yan Jingxing ended his ability and waited silently.
*
Xie Yuzhi's consciousness tentacles quickly extended to the upper floor.
In her eyes, the first thing she saw was more than a dozen entangled red and blue light clusters, which were obviously parasitic patients.
Then, the entangled clusters of light parted, and the blue clusters dimmed; The red clusters of light dispersed, and after quickly disappearing a few, the remaining clusters suddenly coalesced together to form larger clusters.
This is...... Fit?
Xie Yuzhi was stunned. But she didn't have the experience to pay attention to the hairless for a while, because her conscious tentacles were pestering the other monster.
The light cluster representing the Split-Header's consciousness body was large and stable, with a strong outer barrier, and the strength of her current consciousness was not enough to invade.
This is not unexpected.
But if that's all there is, Xie Yuzhi should give up now.
In fact, she soon reached an anomaly:
Next to the consciousness of the Split-Header, there is a smaller, more dimly lit cluster of light, as if attached to the primary consciousness.
Is that...... Dog consciousness!
Xie Yuzhi reacted quickly, because Ji Chunzao had already shared information in advance: the same parasitic creatures, the split-headed person would not eat the host's brain simply and rudely like the hairless one, but would grow a new brain in the host's body.
In other words, the dog's consciousness is still in the shell, and it also has control over the monster's body!
The opportunity was fleeting, and Xie Yuzhi did not hesitate to launch a "mind domination" against the split-headed dog.
This process did not go smoothly, as the dog's consciousness was closely linked to the split-header, and her consciousness invasion was still met with stubborn counterattacks. But thanks to Xie Yuzhi's gritted teeth, it still stubbornly and gradually grasped part of the control......
At this moment, she suddenly felt that the Splitter's conscious resistance was negligent for a moment, and the control progress immediately increased.
…… Injured? By the way, Yan Jingxing, and the large hairless ones are all there!
Xie Yuzhi's mind moved, and he quickly conveyed the idea of "attacking the hairless" to the split-headed.
Compared to a hard-hitting invasion, the idea itself was in line with the wishes of the headhunters, so there was little resistance.
……
On the third floor, the schizoar's pupils flashed with a glimmer of confusion, and it didn't come to its senses until the large hairless man tied it firmly like a snake and tried to strangle it, and the mucus sprayed from its mouth burned one wound after another.
The split-headed dog felt the pain on his body, his pupils were suddenly flooded with a fierce red, and his fangs and sharp teeth worked hard together, biting the hairless man with a hard bite, and at the same time he rolled over and stood up, trampling the hairless man's head under his feet.
More mucus gushed out, but the slighthead dog with white smoke didn't let go in the slightest. No matter how painfully the hairless person struggles, it can only make the sharp teeth penetrate deeper into the body; In addition, the thick fur also mitigates corrosion to some extent.
The hairless man who eats pain uses his soft body to flip his head, and the huge mouthparts in turn bite one of the legs of the split-headed dog, while immediately rolling up, trying to tear the entire leg off.
"Whew——!"
"Hiss——!"
The monsters rolled and fought in the hallways, and the concrete hallways were full of potholes and messes, and a terrible roar echoed throughout the hospital building.
The Split-headed Dog, which had been stimulated by its ferocity, had the upper hand for the time being, but for the already injured one, the meal in front of it was not so easy to eat.
And with the deepening of the wounds on its body, the red light flashing in its pupils is gradually becoming weaker......
*
A few minutes later.
Downstairs, Xie Yuzhi finally opened her eyes.
"I made it......"
The expression of extreme exhaustion could not hide the excitement in her eyes.
"Let's go!"
