Chapter 57: Bow-Shaped God's Descent (15)
"Is it... is it dead?"
The golden sunlight gently wrapped around the old insect god's broken body, as if covering him with a warm blanket.
Yang Shu covered his head, stretched his neck dizzily, and looked in the direction of the old insect god.
"not yet."
The blood on the long knife dripped silently onto the ground and seeped into the cracks in the soil.
Xie Mian put away his knife, stepped on the broken bricks and broken wood, and walked towards the old insect god through the sunlight in the dense dust.
The tentacles under the rubble were still slowly wriggling, densely packed like dying earthworms, spasming and stretching towards the sun in the sky.
The heads on the tentacles turned towards the sun like flowers, their faces pale. Some cried loudly like babies, while others babbled, "Mom, Mom!"
“Ga ga ga ga ga!”
The wound is healing quickly, and it won’t be long before the old insect god will fully recover!
E Shifang stood beside Xie Mian, his eyes fixed on the split remains of the old insect god.
At the wound that was split in two, countless granulations were wriggling frantically, the torn muscles were intertwining and regenerating at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the broken bones were reconnected with a teeth-grinding clattering sound.
The insect stone embedded deep in the heart emits a green light and continuously releases vitality.
"quack!"
Let's get started.
Goose Shifang stepped forward and prepared to take out the insect stone.
"Wait a moment."
Thank you for stopping Goose Shifang.
Among the twisted and coiled terrifying tentacles, a white and tender little arm is quietly growing.
The new skin is pink and tender, like a freshly peeled egg; the chubby little hands are shaking, and the slender and tender fingers are unconsciously curled slightly.
Next to the arm, there was a pale head hanging, and a gentle smiling face was revealed among the messy black hair.
Her drooping eyelids were filled with love, and her cracked lips trembled as she hummed a gentle lullaby:
"Sleep, sleep, let your flesh and blood grow gently..."
"Mother's tentacles weave a cradle net..."
"Mucus is honey, nerves are light..."
"In my mother's arms, I will never rot..."
Her vocal cords had long since festered, and her singing actually came from her vibrating tentacles, with a sticky, wet echo.
After the lullaby, Xie Mian stepped forward and gently took down the insect stone.
The moment the insect stone was removed, all the tentacles reaching towards the sky fell to the ground.
Only the tentacle with the pale head hanging on it was still swaying in the air, controlling the head to stick tightly to the naughty little arm.
After rubbing her little arm, her head gently turned towards Xie Mian, and the corners of her rotting mouth raised an extremely gentle arc. Her dry eye sockets were empty, but filled with gratitude as gentle as sunlight.
Xie Mian saw his mother's lips opening and closing slightly, silently uttering two words.
--Thanks.
The next second, the head and the small arms turned into tiny points of light and drifted away in the sunlight.
A few rays of light passed over Xie Mian's cheek and flew upwards.
Flying higher and higher, flying faster and faster...
After the flesh was stripped off, the insect stone immediately lost its temperature and became like a cold stone.
Xie Mian opened his palm, and in his jade-white palm, the insect stone flashed with a faint green light.
He could feel the vibrant energy flowing from the insect stone—jumping, green, and filled with joy.
"Let's find a place to absorb the insect stone."
"Ga!" Good!
E Shifang nodded and took out a pack of wet wipes from the space to help Xie Mian wipe the blood stains stuck on his skin.
After Xie Mian finished wiping, he attentively took out a bottle of mango juice, inserted a straw, and handed it over:
"Haha!" Wife, replenish energy.
As the sour and sweet mango juice took a sip, Xie Mian looked up at the sky and felt that everything was over.
Yang Shu cut off his sister's head from the tentacle and put it in his backpack.
He wanted to take his sister away. His sister would definitely not like this sinister and evil place that had harmed countless people.
"Hiss-hiss-ah!"
Yang Shu covered his cheeks with his hands, his eyes were sincere, and his voice was erratic.
Xie Mian couldn't bear to watch it. Although he was trying to save Yang Shu, it was indeed his fault that such an honest and handsome face was injured like this.
At Xie Mian's eye signal, E Shifang took out two boxes of anti-swelling and anti-inflammatory medicine and gave them to Yang Shu.
"Mmm, Mmm-Mmm-Neng-Ao!"
Yang Shu waved his hands frantically, his eyes anxious, but his mouth was out of control.
In the last days, medicines are extremely precious, and he cannot take advantage of his benefactor.
The benefactor not only saved him, but also killed his father and the insect god.
If there was no benefactor, with his ability, he would not be able to avenge his sister.
E Shifang forcefully stuffed the medicine into Yang Shu's arms.
"quack!"
You big stutterer, just stop talking nonsense and take the medicine and leave, understand?
The powerful murderous aura stopped Yang Shu from saying the next words. Yang Shu put away the medicine and bowed again.
"Hmm-hmm-debt-hmm!"
"goodbye."
Xie Mian nodded slightly.
The sunlight stretched Xie Mian's figure infinitely. At this moment, Yang Shu actually felt that Xie Mian was surrounded by a strong sense of loneliness.
Ahhh, what was I thinking? How could the big guy be lonely? The big guy has a big goose!
Yang Shu turned around with confidence and prepared to leave.
"Stop, hand over the insect stone!"
A harsh sound of metal friction came from all directions.
Xie Mian's pupils suddenly contracted - seven or eight fully armed figures emerged from the shadows of the ruins and surrounded them.
The men wore uniform gray hazmat suits with a faded symbol printed on their chests: a DNA helix.
——In the center of the spiral is an hourglass-shaped insect pupa, and inside the pupa is a human embryo.
A cold and shuddering feeling of nausea swept through his chest. Xie Mian covered his chest with his hands, his face turning pale.
"Haha?" What happened?
E Shifang was the first to notice Xie Mian's discomfort.
"I feel like I've seen this logo somewhere before. It feels very familiar."
Xie Mian took a big sip of mango juice, suppressed the nausea in his chest, and said.
"Why don't you let me drink?"
Yang Shu was angry and raised his hand to push the person in front of him. He was a power-type insect follower, but he didn't expect that this push would fail.
His hands pushed against the man like he was pushing against a solid stone wall.
"Bug Stone, hand it over!"
The leading man's voice came through his mask, dull and cold. The submachine gun in his hand flashed a dangerous red light, and the muzzle was pointed steadily at Xie Mian's eyebrows.
"Want it?" Xie Mian's eyes were cold, with a hint of disgust and displeasure between his brows, "Want... to... eat... shit!"
The red light of the submachine gun suddenly intensified, and at the critical moment, E Shifang suddenly opened the protective shield.
The battle broke out in an instant and dense gunfire rang out.
There was only one person injured - Yang Shu, whose head was swollen like a pig.
These snatchers were well-trained, but they obviously underestimated the abilities of Xie Mian and E Shifang.
"Defensive insect-companion?"
Black vines shot out from the wrist of the leading man and hit the protective shield heavily, making a loud noise.
"Hand over the Bug Stone, or I'll kill him!"
A robber held Yang Shu hostage and put a gun to Yang Shu's temples.
