However, the cabbage soon "vomited" it out again, and held the big spider in front of Liang Qing, showing it to her, as if asking for credit, and then swallowed it.
Liang Qing was stunned by this situation and stammered, "Very good."
Seeing this, the plants behind him happily rushed forward, wanting to show Liang Qing their special abilities. Liang Qing quickly waved his hands and said, "Okay, okay, I believe you. You are all very good. But now the monsters are coming. I need everyone to escort the villagers out of the village first. Who is willing to go?"
All the plants wanted to stay with Liang Qing very much, only the cucumber vines slowly dragged their bodies over to him. With a thud, a cucumber spun in the air, and more than a dozen sharp thorns flew out of its body, blasting more than a dozen small holes in the concrete floor like small cannonballs.
There are more than a dozen cucumbers on this vine. Liang Qing planted three vines in total. Even if they encounter a swarm of spiders, it is more than enough to protect more than a dozen villagers.
Liang Qing's eyes lit up, and he pointed at Huanggua and said, "Okay, it's you. Your normal attacks are good. We'll stay behind to cover the rear, and you'll be responsible for taking the villagers away."
Huanggua, the leader of the performance for Liang Qing, nodded.
At this moment, a villager quietly opened a door and saw the plants around Liang Qing. He was stunned for a moment and forgot what he wanted to ask.
He pointed at the plants and said, "Qingqing, what's going on?"
Liang Qing smiled and nodded, then walked into the house with three cucumber vines and explained to them, "Uncles and aunts, I haven't told you yet, but this is my special ability. Lu Qiang outside has mutated, and I persuaded him to leave, but there's no guarantee when he'll come back, so I'll have the plants escort you out first, and I'll stay behind to cover your retreat and delay you for a while."
"Okay, Qingqing, we'll do as you say. We trust you."
Now the villagers were so scared by the spider that they didn't know what to do and completely believed Liang Qing.
After all, some of these people had their doors knocked on by people who were parasitized by spiders, or even jumped off the roof on purpose. Some witnessed with their own eyes what happened when spiders entered their neighbor's yard, and fled in terror.
Although some people have not encountered it, they have been extremely scared and frightened based on what the old village chief and villagers said.
However, some people were skeptical and asked, "This is a cucumber, can it really protect us?"
Although everyone has an unknown fear of mutations, looking at the familiar crops, not only are they growing tall and strong, they seem to be able to walk independently and have a human-like intelligence, so we are still relatively relieved.
After all, they are all plants, so they shouldn’t eat people.
But looking at those tender arms and legs, I still feel a little nervous.
Liang Qing was about to explain when she suddenly heard the plants guarding outside send her a very dangerous signal.
Liang Qing's expression changed, and he quickly pushed them towards the backyard door. "There's no time to explain. The monster is coming. You go first."
When the villagers heard that a monster was coming, they panicked and immediately started to move. "Okay, okay, let's go."
The group opened the backyard door and fled towards the village entrance.
At this time, Liang Qing subconsciously looked towards the north wall of the courtyard and sensed an unknown danger.
She immediately shouted to the villagers who were running out, "Run quickly, don't look back. The plants will protect you."
Before he finished speaking, a strange "hehehe" laugh came from the wall, and at the same time, Lu Qiang's familiar voice came.
"Liang Qing, how could you lie to me? Didn't you say you would open the door for me? Why didn't you let me in when there's a door in the backyard? Instead, you asked me to go to the house in front? You're dishonest, you deserve to be killed!"
As he spoke, a pungent fishy smell came over.
Lu Qiang leaned his body against the wall, waving his eight sharp spider legs, with a crazy and terrifying smile in his eyes. He pounced on her as if he saw a delicious prey.
"Food, these are all my food, you can't leave, I can't let you go!"
Liang Qing was prepared. He exerted force and retreated to the side and rear, and the plants followed suit.
First, a one-meter-tall onion took the lead and swung heavily at Lu Qiang's upper body.
Lu Qiang did not expect the sudden change, and subconsciously raised the pair of limbs in front of him to resist. Unexpectedly, the seemingly delicate green leaves of the green onion were as heavy and thick as a city wall.
At the moment of contact, Lu Qiang was so shocked that he froze in his tracks and even took two steps back.
Standing on the wall, Lu Qiang saw the plants in front of him, his eyes revealing a sinister and threatening look: "Liang Qing, what is this?"
There was a circle of plants surrounding Liang Qing.
The green onions are in front, the small red peppers are behind, and the veins of the cabbage leaves are flying, making each leaf look extremely powerful.
Especially the bunch of bright green leeks grown in the pot, in order to show themselves, the stems and leaves kept growing wildly until they seemed to become a wave of green seaweed floating in the air.
Seeing the power of the green onion, Liang Qing calmed himself down, took a deep breath and said, "These are all my plants!"
The plants' fighting state was stimulated, dispelling some of the haze in Liang Qing's mind. It seemed as if some potential was stimulated all over his body, and he had the confidence to confront Lu Qiang.
"Lu Qiang, your mind hasn't been completely devoured by the spider, has it? That's why you didn't take my hint just now. You chose to go to Aunt San's house just now just to lower my vigilance. If I didn't have these plants, those villagers who ran away just now would have become your rations."
The two men confronted each other for a while, and Lu Qiang suddenly curled his lips and smiled, waved his eight arthropod claws, and landed on the ground from the side of the wall.
At this moment, countless tiny spiders the size of thumbs began to crawl out from his abdomen.
These little spiders all had red patterns on a black background. As if they were following Lu Qiang's orders, they gathered together on the ground and did not cross the boundaries created by the plants at all.
"It seems you're quite alert, Liang Qing. I underestimated you. Yes, I'm still sane, but it's completely different from before. I was bitten by a spider, but I was told I was their most complete mother. These monsters worship me as their king and hunt delicious prey for me. I have become the source of their evolution, and they no longer have to fear the invasion of fire and ice. You see, isn't this great?"
Although Liang Qing vaguely guessed this situation, he still felt a little nauseous and disgusted when he heard it from Lu Qiang's mouth.
Liang Qing can still face this situation as the plants provide her with a constant supply of green energy.
It's clear that Lu Qiang has been corrupted by the spiders and has now taken on the mind of a monster—he is both Lu Qiang and a monster, a spider monster with human intelligence. (End of this chapter)
