Chapter 817: Parasitism
While the three brothers were reminiscing about the past underground, Lu Weiyi had already climbed onto the body of the giant spiritual wolf on the beach. The flame-like energy had no temperature, but instead had a majestic feeling.
If he could be seen by everyone, he would be a very cool presence, but unfortunately everyone's level is not high enough, so Lu Weiyi can only admire it by himself.
The phoenix was not happy about Lu Weiyi praising the giant wolf, and now it kept harassing it, even pecking Lu Weiyi from time to time. Lu Weiyi could only drive the giant wolf to run on the beach to avoid it.
After playing for a while, the energy in the giant wolf began to fade and night fell.
"Go back," Lu Weiyi said to the giant wolf, and soon after, the energy body dissipated into the air.
He then waved to Xu Sa who was not far away. Xu Sa ran over with several bunches of hot seafood in her hands and handed them to him. "I thought you were going to go crazy. Are you hungry?"
"Fortunately, where are they?" Lu Weiyi took a bite of the squid tentacles and looked at the huge mutant squid in the distance that was halfway submerged in the water.
"In the underground, I just went to deliver some staple food. Ning Yuan drank a little too much. Brother Mingxu and Qin Jin are fine. By the way... can zombies get drunk?" Xu Sa asked.
"How should I know, didn't you ask?"
"Please spare me. He may show mercy to you, but he won't be kind to us. The oppressive feeling brought by the high-level zombies is so great that other people dare not get close to them." Xu Sa looked like he was saying "Don't hurt me."
This made Lu Weiyi unable to help laughing, "Zhuang Mingxu knows his limits and won't drink too much."
He pointed at the mutant squid in the distance and said, "I want to go over and take a look."
"Lu Xiaoyi, are you okay? Have you forgotten that we were chased by it like a dog?" Xu Sa was surprised.
"You are the dog." Lu Weiyi rolled his eyes at him, looked around and saw no one, then leaned closer to him and said, "It's dead."
"Huh?" Xu Sa was surprised. "What's going on?"
Lu Weiyi shook his head and said, "This thing is a threat when it's alive, but it's a treasure when it's dead. It's best not to let other people know."
Xu Sa didn't understand what he meant, but still supported it, "Go ahead with confidence, I'll divert other people's attention, but be careful."
Lu Weiyi nodded, finished the skewer of meat that was brought to him in a few bites, and looked towards the shore. Because of the presence of the little monkey, a giant animal that was hostile to humans, the group of psychics did not get too close to the shore and gathered at the edge of the jungle, which was a little further away. If one was not careful, it would be difficult to discern where Lu Weiyi was going.
Especially when Xu Sa went over and directly called Wen Jing and Su Yan to discuss the separation, he immediately drew the attention of both teams to his side.
Lu Weiyi waved his hand to summon the phoenix, and rode it towards where the mutant squid was.
The mutated squid still had some signs of life, but for some reason it seemed to have no strength to move. When it saw Lu Weiyi, several of its tentacles moved, disturbing the surrounding marine life that were attracted by the energy. Its huge eyes followed Lu Weiyi and moved, as if trying to catch his trace.
Lu Weiyi was still a little afraid of it, and kept flying past it, causing the squid's eyes to turn around from time to time.
After several attempts, Lu Weiyi was sure that the opponent could not attack, so he found the root of the tentacle and landed. He stepped on it and felt a completely different soft touch from before.
The entire tentacle skin looks smooth, but in fact it is no different from stepping on the ground, as if it has lost its vitality.
Lu Weiyi took out a dagger and was about to secretly cut a piece when he saw the hovering phoenix land directly on the mutant squid's head.
"Don't--" He lowered his voice to stop it, but still watched the Phoenix's eagle-like beak peck at the squid's head.
A piece of flesh was torn off its head, and the phoenix flew towards Lu Weiyi excitedly.
This bite seemed to have startled the mutant squid's remaining breath. The mutant squid, which had been motionless, suddenly left the water, and countless tentacles began to dance. The sound of splashing hit the sea surface and crashed into the shore. The psychics who were closer to the sea surface were immediately startled.
Xu Sa complained in her heart that Lu Weiyi was not careful enough, and tried to comfort the people around her, saying that she would go and take a look.
"Let's not do that. I don't think it has any intention of approaching the shore, so let's not provoke it." Su Yan was chased this time and several members of his team died. Now he doesn't want to experience it again.
"Okay, then let's observe it for a while longer," Xu Sa said, and glanced at the brothers Liu Rui and Gu Qingyue. The three of them immediately understood and moved closer to the shore.
However, there was no sign of Lu Weiyi on the sea surface under the clear light. He had already entered the space at the first opportunity.
In the space, the phoenix was still holding the piece of flesh that he had torn off and passing it to Lu Weiyi, unaware that Lu Weiyi's chest was heaving violently with anger.
He really wanted to scold this stinky bird who had no vision, but when he saw the other party's eyes were shining and looked like he was showing off a treasure, he couldn't say anything.
Sulking alone, Lu Weiyi still took the flesh and blood emitting energy from its mouth. However, the moment he touched it, it seemed like something penetrated into the skin.
Lu Weiyi suddenly threw away the piece of meat and stopped Fenghuang who was about to move forward with one hand, "Don't go, something is wrong."
"Ga Ga- (What's wrong?)"
Lu Weiyi looked at his hands. Normally, no creature at his level should be able to penetrate his skin. However, there was indeed something wriggling at his fingertips, and the feeling was particularly vivid.
In just that instant, Lu Weiyi knew that there must be a plant that had parasitized it.
However, he is not a wood-type mutant. Although he has a certain understanding of the transformation of energy powers, he is still a long way from complete control.
Lu Weiyi suspected that this was the thing that caused the abnormal behavior of the mutant squid.
Without hesitation, he put the Phoenix into his consciousness and quickly left the space.
The mutant squid on the sea was still making its last struggle, and Lu Weiyi fell directly into the sea. Fortunately, there was someone on the shore who had been paying attention to the situation here. When they saw him, they immediately controlled the water flow and sent him ashore.
"Are you okay?" Gu Qingyue touched his clothes and wiped the wet clothes dry.
Lu Weiyi shook his head and looked at Gu Qingji, stretching out his hand, "Help me see what plant has entered my body."
"?" Gu Qingji.
"What's going on?" Gu Qingyue became anxious.
Gu Qingji held his hand, and Lu Weiyi could feel the supernatural power entering his body with the contact, and the energy filling his body suddenly pushed outwards.
"Don't resist," Gu Qingji said softly.
"Sorry, I'll control myself." Lu Weiyi suppressed the conditioned reflex brought about by his body.
This was the first time he felt someone emitting supernatural powers into his body. The feeling was very strange. His body instinctively knew that it was something foreign and needed to be resisted, but he had to force himself to suppress it. It felt a little schizophrenic.
Fortunately, Gu Qingji was very quick and "found it".
"There are several root-like things growing very fast," Gu Qingji described, quickly controlling the plants with his supernatural powers, "Where did they come from?"
"Finger" Lu Weiyi pointed at the small gap at the entrance.
Gu Qingji nodded and said, "It might hurt, brother, ask Dean to come over and get ready."
When Gu Qingyue heard that he needed to call Dean over, he knew that the situation was not good. He trotted back and pulled Dean over. Antonio, who didn't know what was going on, also followed.
At this time, Lu Weiyi was already covered in sweat. The plants growing on their own would at most be uncomfortable, but controlling them to pass through the skin and flesh and leave the body would cause enormous damage to the body.
Lu Weiyi could already feel the flesh and blood in his entire arm being forced to stretch, and the pain of his skin and flesh being torn apart made his hands tremble.
"Can you move it out by yourself? Just like you would do to others?" Gu Qingji suggested.
Lu Weiyi shook his head. His own mental power could not enter his body to take action, so he could only rely on external forces for help.
After Antonio knew the situation, he reached out and pressed down his arm, and said to Gu Qingji with a ruthless face, "Hurry up."
"Baby, you should do your best too." He spoke to Dean in a much gentler manner.
With these two people being so affectionate in front of him, Lu Weiyi suddenly felt like gritting his teeth, "You two, just give me that..."
Without saying the word "get out", Gu Qingji moved quickly and cut a line on Lu Weiyi's arm with a knife. Then he stroked his arm down with one hand, and a cluster of white balls appeared in Gu Qingji's hand. Mixed with Lu Weiyi's blood, one could see tiny roots dancing.
Caught off guard, Lu Weiyi was struck by the sudden pain and curled up into a ball. He was not thrown to the ground until Antonio controlled him. Dean's supernatural powers quickly poured in, but the mild supernatural powers could not bring any effect.
Dean felt the wound in his arm and said anxiously, "It's useless, it can't be cured."
Several people immediately remembered the situation when Lu Weiyi was injured. Gu Qingyue immediately pressed his wound with gauze and asked him to see how to recover.
Lu Weiyi had gotten over the pain and was used to it. He was soaked in cold sweat. He looked at the thing in Gu Qingji's hand and said, "Be careful. What is it?"
"It looks like... a mushroom." Gu Qingji looked at the small cap on the mycelium and moved closer to Lu Weiyi, motioning him to look.
Only then did Lu Weiyi see the small ball clearly. It was obviously the one he had planted in the body of the mutant shark.
"Where did the shark carcass go?" Lu Weiyi then remembered that the thing disappeared without a trace.
“Being…being…eaten,” Liu Rui said.
Gu Qingji added, "It was eaten by that mutant squid."
No wonder.
That makes sense.
Lu Weiyi felt a little regretful when he looked at it again. He was really envious of such a huge energy body.
"Is it parasitized?" Gu Qingji asked, who quickly figured it out.
Lu Weiyi nodded and said, "What a pity, it's all energy."
Gu Qingji immediately thought of the SSS crystal core that was handed to him. The two looked at each other and Gu Qingji said, "If you need it, I can cut a piece out of it."
"This is in there, I just tried it."
Gu Qingji shrugged and said, "You have forgotten my special ability, just extract it."
Lu Weiyi's eyes suddenly lit up.
