The clean stream gurgled and flowed briskly down the mountain. The atmosphere in the primitive mountain forest was tense and stagnant at this moment.
A young man faced off against a strong adult black panther, daring not to relax at all.
Yang Xiao tried his best to calm his breathing and clenched his teeth. With his strong heartbeat, his complexion gradually turned from pale to abnormally red.
There is great terror between life and death, and this terror will increase exponentially as death approaches. Violent emotions can often destroy human reason, causing loss of control or collapse.
Only those who have truly been in close contact with large beasts can feel that the instinctive fear of beings facing higher levels of the biological chain can really make a person's body become extremely stiff.
Suddenly, the black panther moved!
It finally couldn't hold back its desire to kill and lunged towards Yang Xiao.
It turns out that in the face of ferocious beasts, millions of evolutions have given humans the most successful brains on earth, and the evolution of upright walking bodies has lagged too far behind in the wild.
Yang Xiao only saw a black shadow rushing towards him, but his body barely reacted at all. He only felt a strong force coming from his left arm, and his body fell weakly to the side.
"Ah! Get out of here!"
Subconsciously waving branches to resist, Yang Xiao ignored the severe pain he felt in his waist. He tried to open his eyes wide, trying to see the movement of the black panther in front of him, but he already smelled a fishy smell rushing straight into his nostrils.
"Boss, there's something going on over there!" The nearby special operations team heard the shout and immediately swooped towards Yang Xiao's location.
Very close! Right in front of you, right next to you!
The man-eating beast could bite my neck off with a single blow at any time!
There was absolutely no power to fight back. At this moment, endless despair seemed to creep into my heart. But Yang Xiao did not give up. He did not want to die, and the desire to live burst out in his heart like a blazing flame.
Lying on the ground, he roared and curled up as hard as he could, especially protecting his head and neck tightly.
After just a few seconds, the Black Panther retreated, and Yang Xiao was already covered in blood. The big cat's sharp claws were like sharp knives, easily tearing apart the muscles in his lower back, revealing several hideous wounds.
Tortured by bursts of severe pain, Yang Xiao felt even more dazed. The open wound on his lower back was not the most fatal. He was horrified to find that his left arm had basically no intuition and had been twisted and fractured.
The only branch used to protect him also broke into two pieces. Yang Xiao's right hand held only a half-meter-long wooden stick.
Without any mercy, and finding that his opponent was weaker than he thought, the ferocious Black Panther no longer hesitated and pounced on him again.
Although the hunter team rushed over as quickly as possible, it still took six minutes.
The battlefield was chaotic, but no victims were found. Only some scattered blood and pieces of clothing were left on the ground.
Captain Chen Feng's pupils shrank, and he suddenly discovered a human's broken arm next to the creek. No matter what, this should be considered an anomaly in this mountain forest. I just don’t know which unlucky guy left this arm behind.
"Follow the blood trail, form the third team, follow immediately, Chen Yuan, report the situation to the headquarters immediately."
At the headquarters of the State Z Disaster Emergency Management Bureau, looking at the synchronized video signal in the command hall, a short-haired man looked indifferent, adjusted his brown glasses, and fell into deep thought.
After the laboratory accident in Chongshan City, as the first official force to intervene, he obtained a lot of precious information. However, before the accident could be fully resolved, the military began to intervene.
The game between high-level officials never stops.
As the youngest newly established department in the Republic, his superiors often have to take the overall situation into consideration.
According to his idea, controlling all threats before they happen is the most appropriate way to deal with them. Judging from the surveillance, the monsters that escaped from the laboratory are not simple. Monsters that may pose a threat to people's lives and safety should of course be destroyed directly and humanely.
However, the top military officials seemed to have other ideas. Perhaps the professors at the Academy of Military Science and Technology have some new ideas.
After all, the superiors have bought some time for themselves, and the hunter team that spends a lot of money every year can also test its quality this time.
If the annihilation mission can be successfully completed, it is time to promote some talented young people.
pain! Severe pain! Labor pains! Waves of intense pain tortured Yang Xiao's mind.
He didn't know how many of his bones were broken, his muscles were torn, and he was dripping with blood. He was extremely miserable at this moment.
What's even more helpless is that now, his whole body has been bitten by the black panther, and he has been dragged for an unknown distance in the forest.
How much more blood can he shed?
He was so weak that he could no longer move his whole body. The broken spine left him paraplegic at a high position, unable to feel the existence of his limbs at all.
Logically speaking, he should have died long ago, but his vitality is extremely tenacious.
There seemed to always be a force in his body and blood that kept his consciousness from collapsing into coma and falling into darkness.
But as a result, Yang Xiao, who was captured by the black panther, has been suffering from sobriety.
Yang Xiao didn't know how long he could hold on. His godless eyes swept around, and he found that he was dragged into a hidden cave by the black panther.
It turns out that it wants to enjoy a delicious meal at home.
Perhaps, many years later, people who like outdoor travel will find this cave and find some of their own remains.
After being tortured for a long time, Yang Xiao had no other emotions at the moment. After all, as a man-eating beast, eating individuals is a very normal thing.
Resentful? It's hard to talk about it. After all, it's just the instinct of the beast. He doesn't blame the Black Panther for being cruel.
It's just a little regretful that he was resurrected, reborn, and survived as Zhuang Yan, but it was inexplicable and he didn't know why?
As a scientist, he still has a strong desire to study this kind of supernatural event where the body and soul are reincarnated.
Perhaps these mysteries can only be taken to hell.
In the last moments of his life, he recalled a lot. His simple life, his vaguely remembered parents, and his partner in life. Everything in the past would come to an end.
The cave is not small, and there is a big hole on the top, which allows sunlight to shine in. The black panther was very tired after bringing Yang Xiao home.
It habitually stretched out its palm-sized claws and scratched open the man's soft abdomen with its sharp nails.
The internal organs of mammals often contain a lot of nutrients, and it decides to start enjoying its food from this location.
"Hoho~"
However, as soon as he put his head into Yang Xiao's belly, the black panther let out a scream. All the muscles in its body shrank, and its claws pressing on the ground all protruded with bulging nails, desperately trying to move its head back.
However, everything is in vain.
Yang Xiao looked numb. He leaned his head on a stone and moved his lips slightly, but did not make any sound.
In his sight, the black panther's head was bitten by the thing in his belly. Obviously, this terrifying monster was even more terrifying. A tentacle stretched out from Yang Xiao's abdominal cavity, and the sharp bone spur at the tip could easily pierce the black panther.
The former overlord of the mountains and forests received the lunch box in an instant, turning from hunter to prey, which was full of drama.
Finally, the Black Panther died.
The tense nerves suddenly relaxed a lot.
Only then did Yang Xiao realize that the monster that once parasitized Chen Ling was now in his body.
In the laboratory, after the monster lost control and went on a rampage, it parasitized his body and fled to this primitive mountain forest.
In Yang Xiao's indifferent eyes, the killed black panther was pulled bit by bit into his abdomen by the monster.
It did not choose to leave Yang Xiao's body and was still entrenched in his abdomen.
In a daze, Yang Xiao felt that his body was gradually heating up, and his originally weak and broken body was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It was warm, comfortable, and almost unreal. The severe pain dissipated little by little, and he felt the presence of his body's limbs again. Yang Xiao felt as if he was soaking in a hot spring.
After more than ten minutes, he suddenly sat up.
She was almost naked except for a pair of underwear that had a big hole in it. Yang Xiao quickly touched the wounds on his body, only to find that they were all restored as before. Even the scars were gone, all the broken bones had healed, and even the muscles seemed to have become stronger.
Clenching his fist, Yang Xiao felt as if he had terrifying power in his body.
The look on his face was extremely complicated. This monster seemed to have temporarily formed a symbiotic relationship with him.
Touching the eight-pack abs on his belly, he knew that his internal organs had been eroded by monster tissue at this moment.
This bomb broke away from Chen Ling and chose to become its new parasite.
Alas, I survived after all.
As for the adult black panther, only a few drops of blood on the ground could prove its existence.
This monster is really not picky about its food, even the black panther's fur and bones were devoured entirely.
In the cave, Yang Xiao temporarily put aside his worries about the parasite and began to sense the changes in his body.
After devouring the Black Panther, his body was greatly strengthened, especially his various sensory abilities, which were also greatly improved.
Inside the cave, some dark places where sunlight cannot reach are still clearly visible in Yang Xiao's changing pupils.
This is not something that humans can do, but the low-light night vision ability of cats.
Yang Xiao didn't know that at this moment, his eyes had turned into golden vertical pupils like a panther, and the internal structure of his eyeballs had also changed at the same time.
With his ears moving slightly, he could hear fainter sounds. The smell smelled in the nose seemed to have many more layers.
