Today's situation is a three-party confrontation. Whether it is monsters and people or monsters and monsters, they are all malicious and wary of each other.

The knife rotated between Yan Jingxing's fingers like a fish swimming in the water. The presentation effect is naturally not as flexible as before, but it can already be regarded as a pleasing performance.

After his fighting instinct was activated, he could use the weapons in his arms flexibly, and his skillful skills gradually began to be imprinted deep in his body; therefore, even under normal conditions, Yan Jingxing could still gradually master certain skills. He can't do such a thing.

And with the use of abilities again and again, this brand will deepen, and sooner or later, Yan Jingxing will be able to maintain the ability of a flying knife master even if his instinct is not activated.

Others may need to practice hard for more than ten years or decades, but he can achieve "overtaking in corners" through superpowers.

Now he is thinking about one thing: when he hunted the hairless people before, Yan Jingxing first used flying knives to restrict the patients' movements, and then asked the eldest lady to use her mind to control the hairless people.

But now, Xie Yuzhi is not around, and with only five flying knives in his hand, it is difficult to face a situation where more than a dozen people are surrounding him at the same time, and to ensure that everyone's movements can be restricted without harming their lives. …

In other words, even to protect himself, he has to learn to be ruthless.

Yan Jingxing sighed silently.

After activating his instinct, he can make the right choice without hesitation.



At the same time, the Split-Headed Dog was staring at the patients parasitized by the Hairless Man, with a pair of beast eyes emitting a fierce light, and saliva was unconsciously flowing on its white fangs.

It seems that it is really greedy.

However, even though he is at the top of the hairless food chain, Head Splitter still showed a certain degree of restraint and caution at this moment, otherwise the dog would have pounced on them and eaten them one by one.

Could it be that it’s because of the quantity?

Just as he was thinking this, all the patients suddenly opened their mouths wide, their facial expressions became distorted and painful, veins popped out on their raised necks, and they made an unregulated inhalation sound of "ho ho" from their throats.

Because he opened his mouth too hard, Yan Jingxing was sure that he heard the sound of more than one person's jaw being dislocated.

The next moment, the leech monsters slowly crawled out of the host's mouth. They fell to the ground and crawled, leaving wet traces.

These monsters have translucent bodies, all of them are bloated and bulging, with faint blood streaks floating on the surface. It seems that they have "fed and drank enough" in the patient's body.

After the Hairless Ones left, the patients all fell down in unison, as if their souls had been taken away, and they fell all at once, like wheat blown by the wind and waves.

Why did they suddenly come out? Yan Jingxing was a little confused. This was tantamount to exposing his weaknesses and would not be of any benefit to the battle, right?

The split-headed dog did not miss this opportunity. Taking advantage of the pause between the "leeches" coming out of their bodies, he immediately pounced on them viciously.

The Hairless One looks like an invertebrate that can only crawl slowly on the ground, but in fact the strong muscles under its skin give this kind of monster an unimaginable jumping ability.

But these abilities are nothing compared to the split-headed dog. When he saw the black dog and rabbit rising and falling, he stepped on one end with his paws and bit the other end with his mouth. His sharp teeth easily pierced through all the wounds. The hair's tough muscles bite deeply into the epidermis.

The hairless man twisted and struggled desperately, and a large amount of gray-green unknown tissue fluid burst out from the fat and bloated translucent body.

This scene is disgusting and horrifying, and is simply not suitable for children.

Yan Jingxing thought for a while, but he didn't get close to the battlefield. He used two knives to take advantage of the chaos and nailed each of them to death, leaving three for self-defense.

The Split-Headed Dog was chewing happily when two more animals suddenly died. The beast's eyes looking at Yan Jingxing showed humanized complaints. It seemed that it hated people taking away its prey.

Under the joint attack of one man and one beast, nearly half of the hairless people who were running around in the corridor trying to avoid the attack had been lost for more than ten seconds.

... Did these monsters come out just to die?

No, it shouldn't be that simple.

Under Yan Jingxing's gaze, the seven remaining living leech monsters took advantage of the "sacrifice" of their companions and successfully hugged them into a ball.

This state is very familiar, because they have witnessed the emergence of insect groups more than once. This seems to be a certain living habit unique to this group.

At this time, he noticed that after the worm group formed, the Split-Headed Dog stopped attacking.

What's going on here……?

Seeing that it did not move, Yan Jingxing did not move out of caution.

Still the same principle, since the Head Splitter is the natural enemy of the Hairless Man, he should know how to deal with the Leech Monster and also know its special abilities, so no matter what the dog does, he just needs to follow it.

Sure enough, Yan Jingxing quickly noticed that after forming into a ball of insects, a large amount of sticky liquid suddenly appeared on the bodies of the hairless ones - their bodies were originally covered with mucus, but the amount they secreted at this time was completely different. level.

The slime that flowed down fell to the ground and accumulated into a small pool. It seemed to have a slight corrosive effect. When it came into contact with the cement floor, a faint white smoke came out.

If he had approached rashly just now, there is no guarantee that an accident would not have happened.

The process of secreting a large amount of mucus by the hairless ones is very short, and quickly wraps up the entire insect group, as if they have melted into one...

No, not "as if" -

Yan Jingxing frowned deeply.

This strange mucus seemed to be equally effective on the hairless ones themselves. The bodies of the leech monsters wrapped in thick mucus began to melt little by little, losing their original outlines, as if they were plastic heated in a microwave.

Immediately afterwards, a larger leech monster was born from the mucus foam.

Its body length exceeds three and a half meters, and its bloated body almost occupies half of the corridor. It looks much larger than the Split-Headed Dog. The mouthparts on the top of its head suddenly open, revealing a circle of sharp and sharp teeth inside. tooth.

The hairless creature crawled forward, its slightly opened mouthparts easily chewed up the corroded concrete floor, and let out a harsh growl at the person and beast in front of it.

Yan Jingxing suddenly realized.

It turns out that the giant leech they saw in the underground palace, which was like an excavator rumbling through the ground, was born in this way?

Multiple Hairless individuals can produce even larger individuals through combination... I didn't expect that they also have this special ability.

Considering that they have just crawled out of the patients' bodies, they may need to absorb enough nutrients before they can be used.

The Split-Headed Dog sharpened its claws, and even if the size of the prey grew larger and became bigger than itself, it had no intention of flinching.

The two alien life groups have been fighting each other for countless years, and they know each other very well.

Just as the two creatures were having a tense confrontation, suddenly - the giant leech spat out a mouthful of mucus, not in the direction of the split-headed dog, but in the direction of Yan Jingxing, who was watching the excitement not far away.

At the same time, the Split-Headed Dog suddenly turned its head, jumped onto the vertical wall next to it, and used its strength to jump high into the air. The target with its teeth and claws was also Yan Jingxing!

"..."

A large ball of mucus fell to the ground, making a "squeaking" sound; the split-headed dog's attack also failed. Instead, the eyeball of the deformed head was grazed by a knife, and blood spattered.

The split-headed dog howled horribly, and this "quarter" of eyes was considered blind.

On the other side, the hairless man slid on the ground and hit the wall. The mucus sprayed fell on the fur of the split-headed dog not far away, causing it to growl again.

Yan Jingxing activated his ability and ran up the stairs to avoid the attack. He held the last two knives in his hands, squatting steadily on the narrow handrail like an acrobat, with his eyesight as sharp as a falcon, observing from a high position. situation.

Both monsters were huddled in the corner.

"Hunters and prey actually work together... and they cooperate quite well." He thought to himself, "The intelligence of the split-head dog itself is very high, but in the past, the hairless people only followed instinctive actions. Could it be said that' By combining individuals, will even intelligence grow?"

Putting these things aside for now, since the alien monsters all want to kill him, then of course he is welcome. Both of these individuals must be found ways to get rid of them.

Compared to the "bonded individuals" of the hairless ones, the split-headed dogs are easier to deal with. The former is covered with a thick layer of corrosive mucus, and it may be a headache for him to deal with it with a knife; while the latter has been caught by his weak point in the previous battle and has already fallen into a disadvantage.

This does not mean that the split-head dog is weaker than the combined individual, it is just a matter of compatibility.

or--

Yan Jingxing's feet slipped and he stepped directly down the handrail.

He could also escape.

There were less than three minutes left. It was really difficult to kill the Hairless Man and the Split-Headed Dog at the same time. It was better to grab the two companions and leave quickly.

He himself might not have made the decision to retreat so quickly, but at the moment when his thinking completely followed rational calculations, Yan Jingxing chose to escape without hesitation.

"Wait a moment!"

The two girls were on the next floor, so Yan Jingxing bumped into them quickly.

Just when he was about to pull them away, Ji Chunzao stopped him.

"It's better to wait and see first."

"……What's wrong?"

Ji Chunzao held Xie Yuzhi's waist with one hand, and finally helped her stand up, which seemed a little difficult. Yan Jingxing's eyes unconsciously fell on the eldest lady's face. She saw that her face was covered with sweat and her slender eyebrows were tightly bunched, as if she was trapped in a deep nightmare.

This was the first time Yan Jingxing saw Miss Xie in such a mess. He was surprised and walked over and helped Chun Zao support her body.

The girl's body is soft and boneless, as if she has given all her weight to the people around her. I don't know if it was because her body was soaked with sweat and her body temperature had risen, but the delicate fragrance that originally exuded from Xie Yuzhi's body was a bit stronger than usual.

Yan Jingxing knew that whether they were "priests" or "kings", they would be distracted when using their abilities, but it had never been this serious before. This only proved...

"Yu Zhi is now fully engaged in 'mind control'."

Ji Chunzao seemed to be able to read his thoughts, she said.

"So, let's wait here first."

Yan Jingxing nodded, his eyes never moving away from Xie Yuzhi's face, watching with some distress as she showed pained expressions from time to time, which proved that the eldest lady was overloading her abilities.

Why push yourself to this point? He couldn't understand it.

But even if he doesn't understand, he will still stay with her and support her actions.

Yan Jingxing ended his ability and waited silently.

Xie Yuzhi's consciousness quickly extended to the upper floor.

In her eyes, she first saw a dozen tangled red and blue light groups, which were obviously parasitic patients.

Then, the entangled light groups separated, and the blue light groups became dim; the red light groups dispersed, and after a few quickly disappeared, the remaining light groups suddenly gathered together to form a larger one. Light group.

Is this... a combination?

Xie Yuzhi was stunned. But she had no experience paying attention to the Hairless Man for the time being, because the tentacles of her consciousness were entangled with another monster.

The light group representing Head Splitter's consciousness is huge and stable, with a solid barrier on the outside. Her current consciousness strength is not enough to invade.

This is not unexpected.

But if that's all it takes, Xie Yuzhi should give up now.

In fact, she quickly reached something unusual:

Next to the head-splitter's consciousness, there is a smaller, dimmer light group, which seems to be attached to the main consciousness.

That's...the consciousness of a dog!

Xie Yuzhi quickly reacted, because Ji Chunzao had already shared the information in advance: As a parasitic organism, the Head Splitter would not simply and roughly eat the host's brain like the Hairless One, but would instead grow a new brain inside the host's body. .

In other words, the dog's consciousness still remains in the body, and it also has control over the monster's body!

The opportunity was fleeting, and Xie Yuzhi launched "mind control" on the split-headed dog without hesitation.

This process was not smooth, because the dog's consciousness was closely connected with the Head Splitter, and her intrusion into consciousness was still met with a tenacious counterattack. But with Xie Yuzhi's gritted efforts, it still stubbornly gradually gained some control...

At this moment, she suddenly felt that the head-splitter's conscious resistance was negligent for a moment, and the control progress immediately increased.

……injured? By the way, Yan Jingxing and the large hairless ones are there!

With a thought in her mind, Xie Yuzhi quickly conveyed the idea of ​​"attacking the hairless ones" to the head-splitter.

Compared to a hard-line invasion, this idea itself was in line with the headhunters' wishes, so there was almost no resistance.



On the third floor, a trace of confusion flashed across the eyes of the split-headed dog. It wasn't until the large hairless man tied it tightly like a snake and tried to strangle it. The mucus sprayed from its mouth cauterized the wounds, and it finally woke up. come over.

The split-headed dog felt the pain on his body, and his pupils were suddenly flooded with a ferocious red color. His fangs and sharp teeth worked together to bite the hairless man, and at the same time he stood up and trampled the hairless man's head under his feet.

More mucus spurted out, but the split-headed dog, which was covered in white smoke, showed no intention of letting go. No matter how painfully the hairless man struggles, it can only make the sharp teeth penetrate deeper into the body surface; in addition, the thick fur can also alleviate corrosion to a certain extent.

The pain-stricken Hairless Man used its soft body to turn over its head, and its huge mouthparts in turn bit one of the Split-Headed Dog's legs. At the same time, it immediately rolled up and tried to tear off the entire leg.

"Ouch——!"

"hiss--!"

Monsters were rolling and fighting in the corridor. The concrete corridor was full of potholes and a mess, and their shrill roars echoed throughout the hospital building.

The ferocious Split-Headed Dog temporarily gained the upper hand, but for the already injured Split-Headed Dog, the meal in front of him was not easy to eat.

And as the wounds on its body deepen, the red light flashing in its pupils is gradually becoming weaker...

*

A few minutes later.

Downstairs, Xie Yuzhi finally opened her eyes.

"I succeeded..."

The extremely tired expression could not hide the excitement in her eyes.

"Let's go!"
