Should we feed him the remaining seaweed?
I savored the only sentence that Yiyi uttered, pondering it carefully.
I saw what happened just now. It was obvious that the seaweed dumpling, which smelled of meat, had been thrown to pieces by the seaweed monster.
I wouldn't be willing to feed it to him again, or even just pick it up from the ground.
That stuff is mixed with raw meat and blood.
It's like a delicious treat that wild beasts in the jungle would eagerly chase after.
I looked around anxiously and then realized that the largest seaweed leaf was only a few steps away from me.
It still had bits of bloody flesh on it that hadn't been licked clean by my seaweed roommate.
Seeing the monsters that kept resurrecting, being cut down and then reborn again, made me feel extremely uncomfortable.
In the end, I managed to overcome the physical discomfort and slowly took my first step.
Honestly, before I got that seaweed leaf stem, I never imagined that lightning swords existed.
"Hey kid, why don't you come and help me? You're just standing here watching me work!"
I kept mentally criticizing the Thunder Strike Sword.
"Master, this is a sharp sword for battle, not some scrap metal to be picked up."
A wave of anger surged through my mind.
Just over a minute ago, the girl who was leaning against me suddenly started swaying from side to side again!
Now, he's starting to get a bit crazy!
Seeing this scene, I was quite puzzled.
What's wrong with this girl? She didn't react like this when she turned back into a kitten before. Is she being assimilated by the seawater now?
Does it also have to blend in with the seaweed in this Dragon Palace?
This bold idea involuntarily popped into my head.
Those shouts that came from mid-air just now were definitely from the mastermind behind it all.
Just the fact that he could turn his seaweed-shaped roommate from gluttony to rage shows that he is no benevolent person.
“Master, in my guess, the strange man’s initial gluttonous behavior, like that of a prisoner, was probably due to not having had a full meal for too long, and it was his most primitive physiological reaction.”
I nodded in agreement when I heard Lei Jijian's guess.
Indeed, this guy's condition is quite alarming, like seeing a prisoner who hasn't eaten in a long time.
Following this line of thought, then his complete madness and his current state of attacking me should be that strange, ethereal voice!
My head was starting to ache more and more; that voice... it sounded kind of familiar.
It sounds like I've heard it somewhere before.
Without time to think it through, I looked at the almost crazed seaweed man in front of me; his behavior was exactly like that of a zombie from the apocalypse.
When he saw the piece of seaweed leaf that I threw to him, he ate it greedily, as if it were real meat.
But this time, unlike before, the strange man's eating manner was not so pure.
Instead, it was filled with a murderous rage, an anger that wanted to tear everything apart.
I think this reaction must be an instruction given to him by that voice!
Or perhaps, this seaweed monster is a product of a corpse and some seaweed intertwined together!
That way, he can be rightfully controlled.
Yiyi has fallen into a coma again.
Without the head-shaking and swaying from before, Yiyi now has that same playful charm.
I couldn't help but recall that it was the girl who had reminded me to use these seaweed leaves to block the monster's attacks.
In other words, the girl clearly knew something about the monster's weakness!
The source of this knowledge is probably the side effect of Yiyi being assimilated!
Not only did they resonate with the monster's movements in large quantities, but they also gained some knowledge of its strength and weaknesses!
Thinking of this, I started to gently shake Yiyi's body!
"Wake up! This can't go on!"
Looking at the girl sleeping soundly, I suddenly felt a surge of anger.
Don't become as gluttonous and furious as this monster!
Looking at Yiyi lying in my arms, I was genuinely worried.
At this moment, the strange man who was lying on the ground, panting heavily, was basically no longer human.
His entire body, which could no longer be called human, had gone from being bent over to being almost completely pressed against the ground, with sparse seaweed leaves at his elbows rubbing against the coral reefs beside him.
The sound, combined with the sound of his half-open mouth and lips squeezing the leaves, created a fragmented yet irritating noise.
The deformed head looked as if it were about to plunge into the soil and be completely buried inside.
Both hands were already in my mouth, and the only distinguishable part was the fingers, which were made of leaves.
He held the meaty leaf tightly in his mouth, then pulled the remaining bit into his mouth.
Crunch, crunch—
It doesn't sound like the smacking of lips when eating normally.
Instead, it looked like sparse pieces of iron hanging on the ground.
Suddenly, it was as if he received some kind of instruction in his mind.
A sound came from his throat, followed by a deep, muffled thud as he swallowed.
It sounded like an empty can being squeezed.
Immediately afterwards, the hair under his forehead was already damp and disheveled, and the mud splatters at the corners of his mouth hadn't been wiped clean yet.
And then it charged at me again, as if it were trying to kill me!
I still can't see the monster's eyes clearly, but what I can be sure of are its empty, lifeless eye sockets, those two holes.
He was staring straight at me!
Every time I quickly took a step, a drop of saliva mixed with the smell of rotten meat would drip down my throat!
Holy crap! Are you really not going to stop?
I've really had enough.
Judging from how much effort he had to eat those seaweed leaves, I reckon even if you put a ton of chicken or fish in front of him, he still wouldn't know where to start!
It was clearly a rotten leaf with an extremely strong will to attack, but its individual strength was only that of brute force.
The only difference from before was his speed.
It seems that after taking that big bite, the monster's entire body functions were greatly enhanced.
It's much faster than a fraction of a second.
In just a few glances, it was already close to me!
Holy crap.
Don't!
This time, he was able to reach Yiyi before he could bite me.
The girl was already weak enough; this was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire!
I didn't have time to pull Yiyi away. Although it might not have been fatal, such a disgusting guy might have other ways to slowly corrupt us!
I'm afraid that once you get infected, you'll gradually turn into a monster like him, devoid of thought and driven only by the most primal survival instincts!
I was so startled that I took several steps back, but I still couldn't catch up with him.
"Master! Look!"
The sound of lightning striking the sword came from behind.
I thought something serious had happened.
I looked up and gazed over there.
The seaweed monster actually backed down just before it was about to touch Yiyi!
