The slug was knocked back by the jade book and flew backwards, hitting the stone wall hard.
But the mucus on the slug's body played an excellent role in dissipating the force. In addition, it was a soft body, so it was not directly smashed to pieces.
However, although the slug was not dead, its aura had indeed weakened a lot. It slid down from the wall limply and piled up on the ground.
Of course, such a scene had long been expected by Lin Xixue, so it was certainly not a jaw-dropping one.
What really made her unable to look directly was that when the dozen or so giant slugs lying on the wall saw this injured slug, they suddenly lost interest in Lin Xixue and instead squirmed towards the injured slug.
Lin Xixue thought that the injured slug was about to be eaten, but she never thought that the first slug to arrive would actually climb onto the injured slug's back.
The two slugs clung tightly to each other and began to roll on the ground.
The soft but rather strong limbs were twisted together and curled into thick twists dripping with mucus. Watching these two twisted slimy creatures rolling on the ground, Lin Xixue actually felt a rather lingering and pathos feeling.
But she immediately realized something was wrong. This feeling was obviously not normal. When she first enshrined the statue of Tianzun in Jieshi Cave, she felt for a moment that the statue of Tianzun had a strange beauty.
That weird feeling was eerily similar to how I felt now.
No, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. We must fight quickly. If we continue to stay like this, I am afraid that we will go crazy again.
She drew her sword and slashed, killing all the slugs in the cave in an instant. However, the vitality of these slugs was unexpectedly strong. Although she had cut them into several pieces, the remaining parts were still rolling and squirming.
Now that her consciousness was exhausted, she was no longer able to use Karma Fire to burn it all away. She had no choice but to avoid these writhing slug fragments and continue to explore deeper.
At this moment, when she was walking on the ground, she felt that the touch under her feet was more slippery, as if she was walking on a soft skating rink.
While chopping up the slugs, she moved forward and gradually saw a lot of human clothing wrapped in mucus appearing on the ground.
These clothes are of various kinds, including coarse cloth shorts that are obviously worn by servants, and also quite luxurious silk and satin, which are obviously clothes of young ladies.
Is it possible that all the members of the Yan family, from the young master to the servants, were eaten by these slugs?
But this doesn’t make sense? If it was true that everyone was eaten, it is impossible that no one discovered it. At least Yan Yu, as the chief minister of the dynasty, suddenly did not attend the morning court. The emperor had to send someone to investigate.
If Yan Yu didn't go to the morning court, he would never have been able to hide the truth for so long. Besides, in this huge Yan Mansion, if no one goes out all day long, it is impossible not to arouse suspicion.
If they were not eaten, where did the owners of these clothes go?
She pointed her sword, picked up a piece of clothing in the air, and looked at it carefully. Although it was covered in mucus, there was no mold growing in such a humid and dark environment. It felt like it should have been left here not long ago.
But other than that, she couldn't see much else, so she had no choice but to continue exploring.
She finally came to the end of the cave. At the end of the cave was a huge spherical cavity. At the bottom of the cavity, she discovered the owner of those clothes.
These people are both male and female, and each of them has a slug attached to their body. These slugs are either attached to the front of the abdomen or to the lower back. The entire body is like a huge vacuum suction cup, firmly attached to the skin. .
The soft limbs extending from the abdomen tightly hug the adsorbed object, making it impossible for the opponent to break free.
However, having said that, these "human beings" attracted by the slugs seem to have no intention of struggling, and all of them have expressions of bliss on their faces.
But Lin Xixue was a little unsure whether these "human beings" absorbed by the slugs could really be called humans.
The bodies of these "human beings" have begun to undergo erosion and mutation to varying degrees. Those with lighter mutations can barely maintain their human form, but they have characteristics that do not belong to their corresponding gender.
The deeper changes were that the skin and flesh had completely turned into a transparent gelatinous state, and the bones of the limbs had gradually degenerated, becoming as soft as a squid's feet.
Lin Xixue finally realized that the people in the Yan Mansion had not disappeared, but had been eroded and assimilated by these slugs!
At the same time, she suddenly remembered that in her previous life on Blue Star, many mollusks were not male or female.
She seemed to suddenly understand why the banquet suddenly became feminine, and why the many "human beings" at the bottom of the cave showed characteristics different from her own gender.
Because in the eyes of these slugs, there is no difference between male and female!
And when she saw the dense eyeball-like follicles on the ceiling, she instantly understood what these monsters were doing.
Survive, breed, transform, multiply.
The roar of electricity in Lin Xixue's ears became more and more harsh. She seemed to see the chaotic and disorderly proliferation represented by this monster population.
No, or more accurately, these monsters are the very concept of disorderly proliferation.
"Calm down, I must calm down, I must control this chaotic thinking."
"Breed, multiply, necessary for survival, join, assimilate."
In a daze, she seemed to feel a slippery touch climbing up her back. She was frightened in her heart and used the jade book to tear violently, but the tearing force was in vain, and there was nothing behind her at all.
Thinking about it, it is obviously impossible for these slugs to break through Jade Book's defense.
"Hallucination, this is hallucination. Now there is no God-Reinforcing Pill to help maintain sanity. We must control our thinking and maintain our will." She pressed her temples hard and continued to hypnotize herself, trying to maintain her crumbling sanity.
"Breeding, instinct, resistance, uselessness, returning to the arms of the Empress, acceptance, blessing, and transcendence."
"Where did that bullshit monster come from again? Look, I'll kill them all for you, hahahahahaha!"
She locked one of the slugs with the power of the jade book, squeezed it hard with her right hand, and squeezed it with a huge force. The slug was squeezed and exploded in an instant, and the gelatinous meat and mucus flew everywhere.
"Kill them all, kill them all, no matter what kind of monster they are, kill them all!"
After killing a slug, Lin Xixue's mood suddenly became extremely good, and she sang a tune unknowingly. Every time the tune landed on an accent, she used her skills to crush a slug. Slug.
There was a low explosion, as if it was the accompaniment to the light tune she was humming.
"Hee! You said that breeding is a biological instinct, and I also said that killing is a biological instinct!"
"Proliferation, survival necessity, argument, meaninglessness, reproduction, evolution, adaptation"
These scattered gelatinous minced meat actually began to turn into independent little slugs, and then began to devour the surrounding rocks crazily. The originally soft and slippery skin was instantly covered by a hard shell.
However, Lin Xixue suddenly froze on the spot and said in confusion: "Who am I talking to now?"
