I can't believe it at all. Could it be that this guy has some stones hidden inside his body?
Logically speaking, when I saw so many worms in his body, I thought he was made entirely of worms.
But when he squatted down, I thought he was going to turn into the primitive form of a rotting worm.
Not only has he not changed, but he's now squatting here like a toad, staring at us.
If I hadn't seen him wearing a suit, I would never have imagined he looked like that before.
Looking at it from a distance, I would actually think it's a giant toad.
If a toad becomes a spirit, will it be ready to eat flies the next second?
The next second, the lightning sword slowly floated in front of me, its body already crackling with straight arcs of electricity, and its tone carried a hint of wariness.
“Master, I haven’t made myself clear to you yet. I can tell you definitively that you are definitely not dead.”
From what I've observed, your vital signs are still normal..."
The lightning sword made me even more confused.
"Am I still alive?"
I couldn't help but ask back, completely unable to believe it.
If I am still alive, why is this worm host, which originally only liked corpses, constantly moving closer to us?
But the mention of the lightning sword rekindled a glimmer of hope in me.
After all, Lei Jijian has never lied to me; everything he says is accurate.
For example, when I first entered the manor and met the girl, it was he who told me some key information.
Moreover, the current Lei Jijian is more like a rigorous scholar, looking me up and down as if he were silently studying something.
"Master, not to be rude, but at least your bodies and the girl's bodies still have some temperature."
And didn't you just say that?
You will feel a burning sensation in your legs, but the burning sensation in your body will slowly transform into other forms, such as seeing hallucinations or your eyes becoming like they are now.
But no matter what, this could be an impact of the contract on you!
If this is a sign of your death, have you ever seen a dead person still have a fever?
And if you really died, shouldn't there at least be a process? Shouldn't there be some kind of warning sign or something?
Listening to Lei Jijian's words, I felt that they did make some sense.
Well, it seems that the Thunder Strike Sword hasn't been thoroughly researched either; it's just based on body temperature.
Indeed, there is some truth to what he said, but if we really died, I think this contract might still give us a sense of illusion, making the girl and me mistakenly believe that we are still alive.
At least if we were still alive, then these worms swarming around the fat man would make no sense at all.
The next second, Lei Jijian still made me quickly take two steps back, and his tone was even more wary.
"Master, this guy looks like he's about to make a move!"
Judging from Lei Jijian's tone, I could sense that he was also somewhat worried.
After all, Lei Jijian and I had already made our plans while the fat man was still in the mural.
If this guy really comes out, we'll run in the opposite direction; if we reach the end of the road, we'll use the energy to forcefully blast through the wall.
Although this wall looks very sturdy, when it comes down to it, we can only give it a try.
If something really goes wrong, we can only blame ourselves for not choosing the right path in the first place.
If we had chosen to wait in the compass house from the beginning...
Although there might be more dangers, at least we won't end up in such an outrageous place, nor will we see those two monsters that walked out of the painting.
I looked at this guy; his breathing rhythm was exactly like a toad's, and he even started sticking out his tongue.
This scene sent chills down my spine; wasn't that just a giant toad?!
I was shocked and completely stunned.
"Master, get out of here! Don't look at this monster anymore!"
To be honest, these two times Lei Jijian reminded me that every time I wanted to grab the girl and run away.
But at this moment, not only me, but the girl also stood frozen in place.
I remember it clearly. Before, the girl was pulling me and trying to leave, but now why can't she move like me?
I clearly remember trying to run, but my legs wouldn't obey me at all, as if they were filled with lead, and I couldn't move an inch.
It was only then that I belatedly realized that every step I took was incredibly difficult, yet my eyes were fixed on the scene before me, somewhat lost in thought.
I quickly relayed the current situation to Lei Jijian.
"Damn! That's troublesome..."
At this moment, Lei Jijian couldn't help but shout, and then immediately made the electric light on his body even more intense.
He hovered beside me, and the light was so bright that it was almost blinding.
The lightning sword, probably for safety reasons, only dared to continuously release lightning.
They tried to drive the strange man away, but never managed to strike him.
I think Lei Jijian understands this just as well as I do.
If you were to strike with your sword at this moment, you might very well enrage this toad-like fat man completely.
He's just squatting here, not showing any obvious threat yet. The bugs on his body are just crawling around without any other unusual behavior, which is already a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
If the lightning sword strikes down now but misses his vital point, he will definitely retaliate.
After all, that ancient man was the best example. The lightning sword struck him so many times but couldn't kill him. How confident are we that we can take down this fat man in one blow?
Thinking about this made me even more anxious.
We can't leave, and we can't fight. What should we do?
I stared intently at the scene before me, only then noticing that the girl beside me had begun to tremble.
I understand that at this moment, her legs must be in the same state as mine, making it difficult for her to walk.
The next second, I turned back to look at the fat man, and he suddenly stuck out his tongue. That scene terrified me!
Holy crap, this isn't a human tongue at all.
It's a black strip that's as long as a fly swatter!
At that moment, I immediately wanted to slap myself. I had just said that this guy was going to stick out his tongue and eat flies.
It seems like it's really come true now!
I jerked my neck back, but still found that I couldn't move my legs.
I glanced at the girl next to me again. She was also backing away, but she still couldn't move.
In the end, he could only endure the discomfort, stare at the monster in front of him, and be ready to attack at any moment.
This guy not only looks like a toad now.
Even his tongue looks exactly like a toad's tongue!
It wasn't until then that I could see it clearly.
This thing isn't even human!
His body contained both stones and worms, but the most likely explanation is that this guy was transformed from a toad!
Now they're trying to take advantage of us like a toad eating flies and insects...
