Chapter 1,365: Parasites (two chapters in one)

 After everyone gathered together and rested in place for only about ten minutes, the team set off again at the urging of team leader Jin Zhenghao.

During the subsequent march, the group of Malay people watched Lin Fei keep taking out things from the space spirit weapon, such as dried meat, candies, dried fish, sausages... Those who didn't know thought he was here for an outing.

.

Although I know that he is a fourth-level practitioner, what should I do if I encounter danger? Can I really respond immediately with potato chips in my hand?

Wang Zhui, who was following Lin Fei, couldn't bear it anymore. He took two or three steps forward and whispered to this friendly and powerful foreign aid, "Mr. Lin Fei, do you still have food? I can pay for it."

purchase."

"Something's not right." Lin Fei, who had eaten and drank enough, turned around and handed a pack of beef jerky to Wang Zhui, looking around, and then said.

"Since two or three minutes ago, the alienated creatures with three pairs of beige-brown wings above our heads have disappeared."

Eating is eating, Lin Fei's observation of the environment has not stopped for a moment.

"Maybe it's because we entered the depths of the island. Most of these alienated creatures have a clear sense of territory and will not easily cross the territorial boundaries." Wang Zhui tore into the beef jerky and agreed absently.

sentence.

"Let's assume your statement is correct, but what about the strange beasts that control this area? Have you seen them so far?"

"This..." Wang Zhui started to move his hands, chewed the meat strips, and looked around subconsciously.

The coral jungles of different colors are beautiful. Coupled with the warm sunshine and the gentle breeze, people can't help but sink in. Now listening to Lin Fei's analysis, Wang Zhui also noticed something was wrong and cheered up.

,

"Mr. Lin Fei, I will inform the captain and the others about this situation..."

"They should have noticed it long ago."

From Lin Fei's point of view, the Malay investigator leader and several researchers knew that something had happened here before entering the island, so how could they not be prepared.

"Stop, there's something going on ahead." Jin Zhenghao, the team leader who was walking in front of the team, raised his hand to stop everyone's progress.

He turned his head, glanced at the people behind him, and finally landed on Lin Fei and Wang Zui, and said, "Mr. Lin Fei, could you and Wang Zui come with me?"

"Yes." Lin Fei nodded. Wang Zhui naturally would not disobey his boss's orders.

"The others stay where they are and stand by," said team leader Jin Zhenghao.

It didn't take much thinking for Jin Zhenghao to know that this order was to preserve the physical strength of the others. Wang Zhui and Lin Fei, who had just eaten half of the meat sticks, leaned over directly.

The three people broke away from the team, and under the leadership of Jin Zhenghao, quickly headed to the left front of the team.

It didn't take long for Lin Fei to notice that there was a coral jungle not far away that had a somewhat special appearance. Different from the colorful coral trees he had seen along the way, the ones over there were particularly dull as if they had lost their color.

The gray-brown tree trunks and the extremely messy branches growing like vines are extremely eye-catching against the surrounding scenery.

"Be careful and don't touch anything over there."

Using his super power again, the leader Jin Zhenghao, who had grown wings, passed over the heads of Lin Fei and Wang Zhui. Lin Fei, who had planned to go directly, could only turn around and jump onto a relatively tall coral tree next to him, and from the space spiritual weapon

Take out the portable monocular telescope.

With the help of the telescope, Lin Fei's sight quickly locked onto the target.

In the center of the deformed jungle, curled up was a corpse that looked like an enlarged version of a millipede.

The corpse retained its complete shape, and the degree of decomposition looked like it had just died. The problem was that there were a large number of gray-brown plants growing on the corpse, and the roots that should have been covering the ground were also covered on it.

These plants are absorbing the flesh and blood of corpses as nutrients. Perhaps the corpses have some special characteristics, which leads to further mutation of these plants.

This was the message conveyed to Lin Fei by the scene in front of him.

Is it weird? As far as the changes in these plants are concerned, if they are in other places, they are obviously a bit weird. But when this phenomenon is placed in this special area that has been alienated by psychic energy, Lin Fei doesn't know whether to call it normal or normal for a while.

unusual.

The key is, does this kind of thing really require them to observe it so carefully?

On the top of another tree not far away, team leader Jin Zhenghao was holding a notebook in his hand, writing part of it from time to time, as if he was studying carefully.

The fact that he cared so much about something clearly contained some special information, which made Lin Fei a little curious.

"Crack." Just as Lin Fei was concentrating his attention, the millipede's body began to tremble suddenly, and the roots and plants were pulled, making a squeaking sound.

Could it be that millipedes are actually just sleeping in a special way and not dead?

Seeing that the millipedes in the forest seemed to be coming back to life, Lin Fei couldn't help but look at the team leader next to him, Jin Zhenghao, and found that he didn't seem to have expected such a situation to happen.

No matter what, the millipede finally "stood" up, erecting its upper body, and the densely packed joints on its abdomen kept twitching, but the plants growing inside and outside the purple-black carapace showed no sign of falling off.

Those gray-brown vine-like plants seemed to have completely invaded its body and wrapped around its body.

It swayed with the movement of the millipede, and even squirmed autonomously, but this millipede seemed completely unaware of it and just turned its body stiffly.

When the sunlight falls on the millipede, it does not bring light and softness, but instead brings out the weirdness and darkness of this guy.

Lin Fei, who had encountered some parasitic beasts in the spirit world, recalled the scene for no reason. Although it was not very similar to the scene in front of him, this change beyond common sense made people feel inexplicably familiar.

"Wang Zhui, shoot, aim at its head!" Team leader Jin Zhenghao shouted after observing for a while.

Wang Zhui, who was observing the millipedes with a sniper rifle's scope nearby, received the instruction and simply pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

After the gunshot, a special bullet glowing with light was shot out, and a flesh and blood cavity was immediately opened in the millipede's head.

There was no spilled blood or other sticky juices, only fragments of carapace and pieces of meat splashed...

No, there is something wrong with this alien beast... Lin Fei stared at the wound, and sure enough, not long after, a large number of vines grew from the wound of this alien millipede.

And it moved outward as if it had not been injured at all, but its upper body had already turned to where Wang Zhui was.

The next second.

The millipede beast twisted its huge body and began to rush towards Wang Zhui, who also kept pulling the trigger. In just a few seconds, a large number of blood holes were opened on the body of the beast.

At this time, Wang Zhui also realized the special situation of this millipede beast, so he basically chose the target point for shooting on the joints and limbs of the beast's abdomen, in order to completely lose its ability to move first.

The millipede beast was obviously not immune to damage. Faced with Wang Zhu's continuous bombardment, it soon lost its movement again.

At this time, it had left the range of the jungle, so when Lin Fei and the others saw that it was no longer moving, they decisively approached it for further inspection.

"The vines stopped growing, and all that was left of the millipede beast was an empty shell."

With his arms crossed in front of his chest, Lin Fei looked at the corpse of the millipede beast on the ground. When Wang Zhui fired just now, he could clearly see the flesh and blood inside the carapace. Now as the vines repaired the injuries, the inside had become a hollow.

.

These vines are like the poisonous wine in a desert traveler's pot, prolonging the life of this millipede beast, but also taking away its vitality. They devoured its flesh and blood and grew based on it.

I have to admit that this form is somewhat similar to a parasite. The strange thing is that Lin Fei did not feel the help of the vines from this strange beast.

You must know that the parasitic beasts you encountered in the spirit world before were able to achieve a huge improvement in strength with the help of the parasite's power.

The vines in front of them seemed to only bring a weakened version of the super-speed regeneration ability to the millipedes.

Could it be that the origin of this vine is to destroy these strange beasts?

Lin Fei was busy thinking, while team leader Jin Zhenghao continued his observations.

"After being injured, it recovers quickly at the expense of flesh and blood. When it reaches a critical value, it completely fails... Check the wounds on its body and I want to confirm the cause of death as much as possible."

Continuing to write down his findings in his notebook, team leader Kim Jung-ho did not hide his desire to explore the corpses of millipedes.

I walked around the body twice and turned it over with a broken tree branch. I looked at it all over, except for turning over the carapace to check what was going on inside.

Although I checked very carefully, I still found nothing.

Apart from gunshot wounds, there are no other wounds on this millipede beast.

"The bullet is very powerful and the wound area it causes is also large. We cannot rule out the possibility of covering up the original wound."

Carrying the sniper rifle, Wang Zhui raised his chin slightly, put his left hand on his waist, coughed twice, and pretended to explain casually.

No one answered...

After waiting for a few seconds, Lin Fei saw that Wang Jui's eyes were in a trance and his expression became more and more embarrassed, so he stepped down a step and said with a smile, "I think so. The special bullets of this sniper rifle are extremely powerful. It's not that there is no such thing."

A possibility."

Wang Zhui glanced at Lin Fei and secretly decided that he would treat this friendly Mr. Lin Fei to a meal when he returned.

"Bang, bang, bang..." Gunshots like exploding beans rang out from the direction they came from. The leader Jin Zhenghao, who was just about to write down the latest discovery, changed his face and turned to look in the direction of the people waiting on the spot.

"Return to defense immediately!" After saying these words, Jin Zhenghao spread a pair of wings on his back and flew into the air. Wang Zhui did not dare to neglect, and ran back with his gun.

The two left, leaving Lin Fei alone, watching their figures drift away.

Lin Fei was not in a hurry to go back. His eyes turned to the corpse of the millipede on the ground. He suddenly bent down and pinched one of the vines, tore it off and held it in his hand, twisting his fingers back and forth.

The touch is not like an ordinary flexible vine, but closer to a dry flour ball. With just a little force, the vine will break into powder and fly away.

"This thing is too fragile!" Lin Fei clapped his hands and turned around to leave, but at this moment, Lin Fei's mental power suddenly became active.

If there is any abnormal movement in mental power, it will only be actively activated when being attacked.

The special situation happening now undoubtedly means that these vines growing inside the bodies of the millipede beasts are by no means ordinary plants.

After they are touched, they will release special spiritual power to attack the person who touches them... Unfortunately, Lin Fei is not affected by such methods.

Because these vines had no effect on Lin Fei's attack, for a while, he could not figure out what kind of damage these vines could cause to the human body.

But this also made Lin Fei understand to some extent why the previous team leader Jin Zhenghao cared so much about the corpse of this strange beast.

Write down this information for now and head to the area where the team is stationed.

By the time Lin Fei arrived, the battle was over.

Since the Supernatural Power Management Bureau can send this team of investigators to guard the three people at the Psychic Research Institute, it goes without saying how strong these people are.

The three people from the Psychic Research Institute approached the corpse under the protection of several people, as if they were conducting research.

"Based on their appearance, it can be determined that these are mud crabs that live deep in the island. It stands to reason that they will not leave the vine marsh in the center of the island. How could they appear here... unexpectedly we met them on land."

Wu Hua, who put on his sunglasses again, must have been an expert in this field before, took a stick in his hand and beat the body of the mud crab alien beast, and quickly obtained information about this alien beast.

Lin Fei stood behind the crowd and moved behind Miss Zhao without leaving any trace.

Looking at the two dozen one-meter-long creatures piled on the ground, they looked similar to hermit crabs, but they were carrying large coral bushes on their backs.

His eyes couldn't help but fall on the two corpses of the strange beasts that were particularly conspicuous because they were entangled with gray-brown vines.

They were actually affected... By observing the status of these strange beasts, Lin Fei was certain that they were still alive just now.

It seems like vines don't just grow on corpses.

"Look, there's something wrong with these two mud crab beasts. These vines don't look like what they should have..."

While Qi Zhimin was speaking, he took out a pair of gloves from his pocket, put them on, and stretched his hands towards the vines. As a researcher, he planned to take samples for research.

"Don't touch!" Seeing this scene, the team leader Jin Zhenghao and Miss Zhao shouted almost at the same time. Qi Zhimin, who was standing in front of them, was obviously frightened, and his half-bowed body fell forward suddenly.

Fortunately, the team leader Jin Zhenghao acted quickly enough, grabbed his collar and lifted it back, and reminded him in a deep voice, "There is something wrong with these vines. Don't touch them easily even if you are wearing gloves."

"They are the same as the snapping turtle, they are not native to the island!" Ms. Zhao stood in the center of the team and added softly.

Because her voice was very low, others in the periphery might only be able to hear a few sentences, but Lin Fei heard these words clearly.
