monster he just wants to be a good guy

This brother... is really perverted!

After the pair of wolf ears on the top of his head were exposed, Lu Man could hear more clearly.The side of his ear moved slightly, and countless small movements came in through the pinna - insects chirping in the nearby grass, birds combing their feathers on the branches... and in the distance, the dull sound of giant limbs rising and falling on the ground.

"Over there." Lu Man pointed in a direction and ran there first.Zhang Qingyan reluctantly followed behind him, only to see the wolf's tail hanging behind him, swaying with the running speed.

Just now, Zhang Qingyan didn't expect that Lu Man would come to tell her that he heard the voice of a monster, and he took the initiative to ask for an adult's company.Compared with being "captured" by a strange eagle without saying a word when he went out last time, Lu Man this time is simply unbelievably obedient.

The sound of the monster moving gradually disappeared, replaced by the sound of splashing water and gurgling streams.Lu Man frowned slightly, and rushed out of the woods in the original direction.

What came into view was the huge body of the spider, which occupied most of the creek, as if squeezed into ill-fitting shoes.The monster almost blocked the flow of the stream, and the water flow of the blocked stream bed had to re-open the direction along the horrible body covered with thorns and merge into the front stream.

But the monster was silent, and all six chelicerae were hanging on the ground, as if sleeping.Lu Man went forward and kicked the chelicer branch hanging in front of him, but the monster didn't respond.He reached out and tapped its head again, and it collapsed without much effort.

When Zhang Qingyan arrived, she saw Lu Man standing in front of the monster, and almost lost her pace.She quickly took out the bow and arrow from her back, and pointed her head in the direction of the monster.

Seeing her coming, Lu Man waved to her.

died.

The monster in front of him was motionless under the moonlight, shriveled like a leaked ball.

There is still something wrong, the flowing stream covers some breaths to a certain extent, affecting the hearing and smell.

Lu Man stepped into the stream, and the water reached his ankles.

"The heat source sensing system is on."

When Lu Man saw the floating red dot, a smile flashed in his eyes.

With a flick of his hand, the fangs in his sleeves were thrown out by him.A cold light flew by, and not far away was the sound of sharp objects penetrating the water surface and piercing flesh and blood.

When they rushed over, they saw a large insect several meters long, nailed to the crevices of the creek bed by its sharp fangs.It has a long and slender body, thick in the middle and thin at both ends, and it is still writhing wildly.

Lu Man picked up the fang, and the long worm was also lifted up.Lu Man lifted it high above his head, and most of Chang Chong's body was still hanging on the ground, swinging back and forth restlessly in the air.

"How to deal with it?" Lu Man threw the worm on the shore.

"Kill it first and then take it back and burn it." The monster's corpse cannot be left here, otherwise as the ecosystem circulates and the virus spreads, all animals in this forest will be wiped out.

Zhang Qingyan took out a small knife from her bosom, and used the knife to cut Chang Chong's greasy body from the middle, the two amputated limbs still writhed for a while, and finally fell silent.

She turned her head and found that there was only a big, bare shell left on the monster, and all six chelicerae had been removed, and they were thrown randomly on the ground.

Lu Man just finished breaking off the fangs on the monster's mouth and was cleaning them with stream water.Zhang Qingyan looked at him with some surprise.

"I'm worried that it will cheat like last time." Lu Man explained.

After the bad label of "reckless", should we add "cruel"?This is not allowed!

He wiped the fangs carefully, put them in his arms, and put away the scattered chelicer limbs one by one, tied them up with long worms that were broken in two, and tied a beautiful bowknot, trying to get along with reckless, Viciously put aside the relationship, and be a good boy who loves to be clean, polite, and doesn't litter.

It was time to change shifts, so Li Nan went to wake up Zheng Qingmiao and Liu Kuangye who were on duty for the next round.

"Xiaoman called Qingyan out just now, and she hasn't come back yet?" Zheng Qingmiao woke up after hearing what Li Nan said.

"What are you running around in the middle of the night...don't wait for the monster to eat you." Liu Kuangye yawned casually.

Suddenly, the three of them heard rustling footsteps in the distance, something was coming!

By the moonlight, dimly, they seemed to see a huge non-human body moving in the woods, approaching them quickly.The three of them tensed up, and each took out their weapons calmly.

In the blink of an eye, the ferocious head of the spider monster poked out of the forest first.

Zheng Qingmiao woke up the sleeping man near the entrance of the cave. The man was still sleepy. Zheng Qingmiao made a dangerous gesture to him, and he immediately touched the knife in a jerk.

Like ripples, from the entrance of the cave, the members of the hunting team woke up one after another and entered the state of combat readiness as quickly as possible.

Monsters cannot be allowed to enter the hole.Zheng Qingmiao made a gesture, and the sentinel shot a few blasting arrows away from the cave. The arrows pierced through the air and fell to the ground. The tip exploded, making a loud noise.

But their efforts were in vain, the monster ignored the vibrations from the ground, walked straight towards them as if it had eyes.

In the distance, Lu Man's voice seemed to be heard, but it was covered by the lingering sound of the explosion, and Zheng Qingmiao couldn't hear what he was saying clearly.

Could it be that Xiao Man and the others were chasing after the monster?Hearing Lu Man's voice, Zheng Qingmiao's heart sank slightly.

They held their breath and stood like a sculpture in the cave. No one moved, and everyone unanimously chose to play dead.Even though they had experienced no less than a hundred times of confrontation with monsters, they still couldn't restrain their hearts beating like drums.

As the body of the spider got closer and closer, the three of Zheng Qingmiao who approached the entrance of the cave and faced the monster suddenly widened their eyes.

"Bang—" the monster fell to the ground in front of them.

The people in the cave didn't know what happened, and they didn't dare to poke their heads to look. They just rolled their eyes, not knowing what happened outside.

"Don't be afraid, it's one of our own!" Now I can hear clearly.

Zheng Qingmiao was the first to break the deadlock and ran over.

Lu Man emerged from behind the monster, and Zhang Qingyan threw the six packed claws on the ground.

The cave is located above the hillside, and when it was far away before, only monsters could be seen moving.When they got closer, they realized that the monster was actually being held by Lu Man.

Liu Kuangye was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his sockets, Li Nan opened his mouth so wide that he could stuff an egg, and several members of the hunting team near the entrance of the cave also dropped their jaws in shock.

They had also hunted and killed spider monsters before. For such a big monster, even two adults might not be able to lift it with all their strength.But Lu Man was effortless and looked natural, as if what was being lifted above his head was not a monster, but a light feather.

This brother... is really perverted!

Lu Man didn't know that he was labeled as a "pervert" again.

Zhang Qingyan briefly explained how they noticed the strangeness, and when the two of them came across the corpse of the monster when they went out to inspect, they selectively omitted the details that Lu Man had grown wolf ears and cut the monster into pieces.People from the hunting team gathered around and carried the monster's body to the depths of the cave.

Lu Man was next to him to remove the "rope" from the chelicerae. A knife cut through somewhere in the long worm, and a semi-transparent spherical object the size of a sesame seed suddenly gushed out of the gap, spilling on the ground along with disgusting mucus.If Lu Man hadn't dodged so quickly, he would have almost given up on him.

"What is this?" Liu Kuangye, who was helping to carry the chelicerae, accidentally got some on it. He looked disgusted, wiped it on the hem of his clothes casually, and then spat on the palm of his hand to disinfect it.

"Xiao Ai, what is the prototype of this monster?"

"The matching results show that it should be a variant of the iron nematode."

Xiao Ai called up the business card of iron nematodes from the database. This kind of insects lay eggs in water. When the eggs enter the bodies of insects and other animals, they will slowly hatch, grow and mature.

During this period, the shell of the host is continuously hollowed out until it becomes an adult, and then it will control the host to return to the water's edge to complete the business of laying eggs and multiplying the next generation.

Arthropods such as spiders and praying mantises are the best hosts for iron nematodes, but iron nematodes that mutate into monsters are obviously equally threatening to humans and other animals.

Lu Man quickly put them all together. The spider looked so shriveled, which should be caused by parasitic nematodes.

It is estimated that this spider monster has struggled for a long time. The monster has a strong regenerative ability. Its internal organs will be emptied again and again, and it will grow out again and again, until the regeneration speed cannot keep up with the cannibalization speed, and the spider becomes a puppet.

So the nematodes drive the spiders to the nearest water source, emerge from their empty shells, and prepare to lay eggs in the water?

These "transparent sesame seeds" scattered all over the ground... are a bit like the insect eggs described in the information.

But Lu Man clearly remembered that Uncle Lu had mentioned in the letter sent back before that normal animals cannot reproduce naturally after they are alienated into monsters.Is it related to the secondary mutation?

In any case, prepare for the worst.

The eggs of the monster on hand were still stored in his stomach, before he could lay eggs, he was caught by Lu Man.

If they hadn't reacted quickly, the insect eggs would have scattered along the water source, and then entered the bodies of ordinary animals and even humans along the water source for the next round of parasitic reproduction.

But maybe in other corners of the forest that Lu Man couldn't detect, many iron nematode monsters have already entered the streams and rivers to lay eggs.

With a solemn expression, Lu Man told Zheng Qingmiao his speculation in detail.Zheng Qingmiao discussed with the captains of several other teams, and gathered everyone together:

"Attention everyone! Due to encountering new parasitic monsters, the hunting team needs to formulate some new rules:

"First, it is forbidden to drink raw water. It must be boiled for more than an hour before drinking, and everything must be cooked thoroughly before eating."

"Second, it is forbidden to enter the water with a wound. The water depth must not cover the lower body."

"Third, if you find suspicious animal or monster corpses near the water, please report to me or the team leaders as soon as possible."

Zheng Qingmiao is usually careless, looks simple and silly, and is easy to get along with.But at this moment, his expression was extremely serious, showing a bit of the leadership style of the future village chief.

Lu Man dug out the whole piece of polluted ground and threw it into the bonfire.The flames burned, and the translucent ball gave off the familiar smell of burnt feathers under the sear, which was the smell of burning protein.

Uncle Lu told him that as long as it is a living thing, it contains protein.Lu Man was even more sure that this was the egg.

He suddenly remembered that Liu Kuangye had just touched the slime with his hands!

Liu Kuangye was feeling drowsy when suddenly someone came up and grabbed his hand violently.

Looking up, Lu Man was raising his right hand, looking closely at it.He pulled out his hand and was about to start scolding, when he remembered the scene where Lu Man raised the monster by himself, he felt a little embarrassed, and it was reflected verbally: "What are you doing?"

"Brother Liu, which hand did you get the mucus on just now?"

"It's none of your business, the hair doesn't even grow so much."

"There may be monster eggs in the mucus just now. If the eggs go in along the wound, you may be parasitized by monsters."

"Damn!" He got goosebumps all over his body, and frantically shook his hands, Lu Man quickly pressed his right hand.

Liu Kuangye spread his hand tremblingly. Lu Man carefully checked that there was no wound, and neither did the other hand.Finally, Liu Kuangye breathed a sigh of relief, and withdrew his hand again.

"Then what..." Liu Kuangye looked at him uncomfortably, and before he could express his awkward thanks, Lu Man was called away.

"Xiao Man, come here, I have something to tell you."

The author says:

It is not recommended to search for videos of iron nematode parasitic praying mantises, but don’t disgust the cuties.

Goodnight everybody!
