monster he just wants to be a good guy

"It is suspected that there are abnormal creatures."

By the time Lu Xiaoan rushed over with Zheng Qingmiao and the others, everything was over.

The chicken carcass was disembowelled, the feathers were scattered all over the place, and the bright red blood was tinged with a conspicuous blue.There is also a lifeless strange creature next to it, with a hard shell and a metallic luster, a bit like a miniature spider monster.

Lu Man was still holding a pliers that had been broken off from the monster's body in his hand. He had just sipped a drop of blood from it, and there was a burning sensation in his body, so it was undoubtedly a monster.

After ingesting the monster's blood several times in succession, Lu Man's coma time became shorter and shorter.A drop of blood from a monster like this can at most make his body warm, and it won't cause him to fall into a deep sleep.

"This is... a monster?" Zheng Qingmiao frowned.

"Xiao Man said yes. When I saw it, it was manipulating the dead chicken to chase Zheng Qingqing and the others." Zhang Qingyan roughly explained the current situation for him.

"But where did the monster come from? The door didn't even open, and the siren at the entrance of the village never sounded. It couldn't have come flying in with wings, right?" They all looked puzzled.

Wang Yimeng did not choose to go home, but followed behind Zheng Qingmiao, suppressing the fear in his heart, and said: "Just now, I found this chicken in the swamp. I was treading water in the swamp, and this chicken suddenly popped out of it."

"Whose family is this chicken?"

Lin Wan'er next to her timidly hid behind her father, looking at the ferocious chicken corpse.Dr. Lin took a step forward to block her view: "It should belong to our family."

The newly built house of the Lin family is relatively close to the swamp.Their chickens are usually free-range, and they like to go to the edge of the shallow swamp and catch bugs in the fertile pond mud.Three of them have disappeared in the past few days. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

"Have you found the remaining two?"

"I only found one. It was still alive when I found it, but it seemed a little shocked and couldn't lay eggs, so I sent it to Lu's house..." Dr. Lin stood in front of them with a glance, his eyes downcast in thought Lu Man who is wearing something.

"Where is that chicken?" Zhang Qingyan looked at Lu Xiaoan, who knew it well.

"Ah? My mother was buried..." Lu Xiaoan was a little dumbfounded. After the chicken was smashed by the wolf monster, they couldn't pick it up and eat it again, so they found a piece of uncultivated chicken next to their house. The wasteland was buried deep.

"Let's divide into two ways. Some people go to the swamp to check the situation, and the other part goes to dig out the chicken and study it." Zheng Qingmiao suggested, and everyone agreed.

Lu Man and Zheng Qingmiao went to the swamp to check the situation, while Zhang Qingyan and Dr. Lin went to the other side to dig chickens.

Before leaving, Lu Xiaoan grabbed the corner of Lu Man's clothes in time and stuffed something into Lu Man's hand.

Lu Man opened his hands and saw that there was a pearl earring obediently lying in the palm of his hand. The style had been modified from the shape of a nail stick to a more secure snap-on type.

"Master, long time no see! Xiaoai is serving you."

Almost forgot, he had lost Xiao Ai before, but unexpectedly it returned to him.

"Brother, be careful, don't get hurt." Lu Xiaoan smiled after returning the earrings to their original owners.

Lu Man nodded, originally wanted to ruffle his younger brother's hair as usual, but because his height had shrunk after the split, he could only pat him on the shoulder.

"What's the result of the scan?"

"The shape and appearance of the previous monster belonged to crustaceans, the closest to shrimp and crabs." Xiao Ai listed the albums and profiles of various types of crabs for him, and Lu Man soon noticed a certain keyword.

"Sojourn".

Normal hermit crabs often live in the shells of dead molluscs to protect their soft bellies.

And this monster also lives in the body of a dead creature.Lu Man had just checked the chicken's body, and the spine and bones showed signs of forcibly twisting.The monster doesn't just use a shell to protect itself, it can completely manipulate the host to keep it as if it were alive.

But he also checked, the monster's mouthparts were not sharp, and its claws were blunt.Lu Man just grabbed the pliers and tried several times before he managed to cut a small cut on his finger.

And the lacerations on the chicken's body were very large, not like what this palm-sized, weak-looking monster could make.It's kind of weird.

Lu Man ran at the head of the team and soon reached the edge of the swamp.

Along the way, he had already discussed with Qing Miao and the others.The current situation in the swamp is not clear. Others should not go into the water, and investigate the surrounding situation at the edge. Lu Man, who is more confident, will go deep into the swamp to see if there is any danger.

Before, the swamp was still a large area of ​​water, not as deep as a thigh. I haven't been there for more than a month, and the water level has dropped significantly, from a large swamp to a small puddle.

Summer has not yet officially arrived, and here is a sunny and shady place under the hillside. How can the water evaporate so quickly?

Lu Man frowned, took off the water shoes Shimoda was wearing, placed them on the shore, rolled up his trousers and tied a knot at his knees, and slowly stepped into the water.

The sun does not reach here, and the water is a cold and dead black in the shadows.He couldn't help shivering, and goosebumps popped out.

Lu Man walked to the center in two or three strokes, and the water was just below his knees.

The soft mud under his feet was buried between his toes, and when he stopped, Lu Man felt as if he was about to sink.He could only keep walking back and forth in the middle of the swamp, pulling his feet out of the mud.

There was no danger, and I didn't see another chicken lost by the Lin family.

It's very quiet here, almost eerie.

Lu Man recalled the scene when he helped Zheng Qingqing come to the swamp to find fish. At that time, there were aquatic plants gently brushing against his calf and calf, intertwined and complicated, and became a natural maze for crucian carp to hide and seek.

But now, this swamp is lifeless, and the aquatic plants no longer exist, leaving only a piece of mud.

The water blocked the smell to a certain extent and concealed the breath, so Lu Man couldn't detect it through his sense of smell.

"Xiao Ai, the heat source sensing system is activated."

"Reporting to the master, the heat source sensor shows that it is within a depth of ten meters below here..."

"It is suspected that there are abnormal creatures."

suspected?Lu Man raised his eyebrows.Such ambiguous words sound unreliable.

A flash of light came to his mind, and he suddenly remembered that he had learned from Chief Lin in the harbor that the ultrasonic waves emitted by the bat's mouth and nose could not only diffuse in the air, but also spread very well in solids and liquids.

Lu Man tilted his head, lowered his body, approached the water, opened his mouth slightly, and a wave of ultrasonic waves soundlessly escaped from his mouth.

He closed his eyes, carefully feeling the trajectory of the sound wave.

When you close your eyes, except vision, the other four senses are enlarged.

Although the surface of the swamp is lifeless and calm.But in fact, there will be undercurrents surging under the calm water surface.At this moment, he clearly felt that the surrounding water was slowly moving towards his feet, as if it was flowing into the ground along a hidden gap.

He also heard voices.

Submerged in the water, stuck in the mud, all the way down, one meter, three meters, five meters... As the distance expanded, the sound wave became weaker and weaker. Finally, it touched an unusual object and reflected back.

Lu Man suddenly opened his eyes.

At a depth of about nine meters below the feet, there is a big guy.
