"I want to believe you... Miss Hist..."
"but……"
It raised its head suddenly, and its originally human face quickly turned black and hardened... as if it was covered with a layer of old bark.
“But these people who are supposed to be dead are actually alive!”
"I have to consider a possibility, that is, whether you... including Miss Hist, are also illusions cast on me by the evil spirit."
As it said this, it bent its tentacles and bounced off the wall, then rose into the air like a ball of liquid and flew straight towards the girl.
"Let me check... whether you are still human!"
Chapter 29 Parasitism
Hitzfeld stepped back quickly.
She didn't just retreat. After taking a step backward, she lowered her body and curled up on the ground, leaving plenty of space for those who came later.
Immediately afterwards, as she lowered her head, a sharp knife flew out diagonally from the darkness.
"Clang!" The knife light collided fiercely with the monster's wooden claw. Hitzfeld took the time to look up and was surprised to find that the knife did not cut off the wooden claw directly, but bounced off after being deeply embedded in it 2-3 centimeters.
After all, it is one of the seeds of that tree. Its physical strength should not even be matched by Darent.
Darent's face flashed through his mind, and Hitzfeld felt that he might have been notified by the Wheel of Fortune and was either going to Iris Street to find Ashley or was already rushing here.
After all, the time between her exile and her boarding the train was too short, and Darent was left in the capital before he had time to contact her.
"monster!"
With a low roar, Xia Yibing's figure rushed out from the darkness and slashed again, with greater force than before.
This time, Feier was not so lucky. He raised his left paw to block the knife like last time, but he didn't expect Xia Yibing to hit the same spot the second time - embedding into the groove again!
With greater force and a thinner target, everyone only heard a "crack" and the wooden claw was directly split into two pieces.
"Shoot! Shoot!" The police officers hurriedly raised their guns and fired, not caring whether they would accidentally hurt the merchant behind them. Suddenly, several streaks of blood spurted and exploded on the monster's body, forcing it to retreat again and again, and even the half-eaten body was thrown away.
Such a bloody thing... you could even see the scattered intestines and internal organs as it was spinning in the air. The police officers dodged in fear, which bought it precious time.
Opening his eyes that were blinded by blood, in the blood-red vision, Fair Lawrence only saw a cool and pretty woman with a ponytail approaching him and raising her hand to strike him again.
This knife is extremely dangerous.
With great fear in its heart, it immediately lowered its head and rolled over to avoid the attack, but was still hit by the knife, and its other claw was cut off from the shoulder.
"Chi chi chi——"
The blade's power did not diminish after it passed through its body, and it continued to spread to the void several meters behind it before slowly dissipating.
"Roar!" The fear stimulated it to go crazy. Although it lost its two giant claws, a lot of wood whiskers still grew around its body. It divided all the wood whiskers into four parts, two parts were inserted into the ground behind it to support its body, and the other two parts formed two sharp horns and stabbed at the woman.
It believed that the other party would only have time to block one of them. Then he could use the other one to penetrate her body fiercely!
Just as it had this thought, its body trembled.
It felt like something was poured into his right eye socket, and that thing went straight into his head, messing up everything inside.
I felt dizzy... Feier squinted his left eye and looked to the side. He saw a nun in a white dress lying on the ground. The muzzle of the gun she was holding seemed to be smoking faintly.
"Why……"
"Ms. Hist..."
A desperate wail came out of its throat, and the next moment, Xia Yibing seized the opportunity when its attention was distracted and stabbed straight with the knife, from bottom to top, ruthlessly piercing its other eye!
The blade entered its left eye socket and came out from the back of its head, piercing its head on the knife like a meatball!
The fight lasted only about ten seconds from the outbreak to the end. When Ethan and Zafira rushed over with more police officers, this was the scene they saw.
A strange man with a lot of wood roots growing out of his body was stabbed through the head by a knife. His body quickly collapsed and he had to rely on the other side of the blade to support his weight.
"Tsk!" Xia Yibing would not be stupid enough to pose at this moment, so she immediately drew her sword and stepped back to prevent this thing from coming back to life.
"Is he dead?" Zafira and his men surrounded him.
Before he could finish his words, the fallen corpse suddenly stood up.
The two spears spread out again, forming new wooden claws in an instant.
They were much smaller than the previous giant claws, and were not even as big as normal human hands.
"Beware!"
"Back off!"
Gunshots could still be heard amid the chaos, but all the shots had no effect on the monster's body.
"Damn thing..." Zafira gritted his teeth and quickly took out the magazine to take a look.
It is indeed a silver bullet.
Could it be that this thing is actually a complete entity?
Before he could think about it, the besieged monster, despite being shot, inserted its two thin arms into the ground and grabbed two handfuls of black soil.
What does it want to do?
Hitzfeld's heart skipped a beat.
Seeing that Xia Yibing was still trying to rush up, she didn't know where she got the courage and idea from, she jumped up instantly and used her thin body to block her.
"Ai..." There was horror in the woman's eyes.
She almost lost her soul.
Hitzfeld closed her eyes, but did not feel the expected severe pain. She only felt as if something small hit her head, and some of it fell into her collar and into her clothes.
What the hell?
She suddenly opened her eyes and looked back, and saw "Fair Lawrence" stumbling towards the thatched house.
Its neck had been broken and was now hanging behind its back as if the bones had been pulled out. Its two hollow eye sockets were staring at her, and it was swinging its two narrow but not thick enough wooden arms. Its running posture was both funny and weird.
"Aisun!"
Ethan led his men inside with a sullen face, while some others went to look after the merchants who had fallen by the door. Xia Yibing straightened the girl's shoulders and turned her over to examine her carefully.
"It's okay." Hitzfeld touched his neck, and there was some black ash on his fingers when he withdrew them.
"It just smashed some dirt, probably to obscure vision and make it easier to escape."
"You know that's not what I'm talking about!"
Xia Yibing's face turned pale and she shook her vigorously: "How could you...how could you..."
"You can block it for me, but I can't?"
Hitzfeld glared back at her, then turned his head away in embarrassment.
"Anyway, I'm a God Devourer, so I won't necessarily die. It's much better than you rushing forward and getting yourself killed..."
"Don't do this again next time."
Xia Yibing wanted to say something but stopped herself, and in the end could only hug her tightly.
"I don't care what excuses you have, even if you are truly immortal."
"It would be sad to see you bleed."
My heart was deeply touched.
Hitzfeld felt the familiar heat rising up his cheeks again. He didn't dare to maintain this contact any longer and quickly broke free.
"I only did this for the sake of the case!"
"It's not for you!... Make no mistake!"
Xia Yibing's mouth corners curled up wildly when she heard this.
"it is good."
She nodded directly.
"Not for me."
"I believe it."
She deserves a beating...
Hitzfeld glared at her fiercely, and suddenly heard a loud scream coming from the hut again.
Both of them looked pale and quickly followed at the end of the team.
The thatched house has three compartments.
Two compartments are utility rooms, and the innermost compartment occupies 80% of the total area.
At this time, the largest warehouse was crowded with people, about twenty of them, each lying on the ground next to the straw pile, staring at the deformed corpse lying in the middle and screaming in fear.
"monster!"
"monster!"
"The monster killed someone!"
"Someone come quickly!"
"Help!"
"Shut up, everyone!"
Zafira startled them with a roar, restored silence to the place, and slowly walked to the corpse.
There was already a person squatting there.
It's Ethan.
He is examining the body carefully.
"Really dead?"
Zafira asked.
"The brain was damaged and the heart was blown up by us. There is no possibility of survival."
Ethan nodded.
Zafira heaved a sigh of relief.
The police officers nearby, the braver businessmen who gathered around, and even Xia Yibing and Hitzfeld who happened to come in and heard these words, all breathed a sigh of relief.
“But that doesn’t mean it’s over.”
Ethan's face was still solemn, and he whispered in a voice that only Zafira could hear:
"This thing threw a handful of dirt at the crowd as it rushed in."
"If the previous attack on us can be explained by blocking us... you know this explanation is nonsense... then why did he do the same to these civilians?"
"What do you want to say?" Zafira didn't understand.
"I would say there might be something more dangerous mixed in that soil."
Ethan narrowed his eyes.
"for example?"
“For example, its seeds.”
Chapter 30 Suspicion
Zafira's pupils contracted slightly.
He quickly understood what Ethan meant and instantly figured out what kind of trouble they would be in next.
Its action of grabbing the black soil and scattering it randomly is just to cover up the targets that the seeds actually hit - if most people are sprinkled with the black soil, they will not be able to quickly find out the people who are actually parasitized by the seeds in a short period of time.
If this problem is not handled properly, the team will face an extremely serious crisis of trust.
"What's going on?" Xia Yibing and the girl quickly approached. She also realized that something was wrong. The expressions on the two men's faces did not look like the problem had really been resolved.
Zafira repeated Ethan's speculation and expressed her own concerns.
