Chapter 288: Is it parasitism or possession?

He then noticed that when the man turned his head, his body didn’t move at all; instead, his neck rotated at least two hundred degrees.

Based on these two points alone, the other party couldn’t possibly be a living person, but Liang Yu didn’t see any corpse spots on him.

Suddenly, the man’s neck folded downwards, and his entire face looked horizontally towards the entrance, while something was extending from his mouth.

This scene made his hair stand on end, and an alarm bell rang in his heart.

He slowly retreated, his eyes fixed on the bizarre man.

The man seemed to sense his fear, and a strange smile appeared on his face, a smile so twisted it was like a pretzel, his lips almost reaching his ears.

The tentacles extending from his mouth had already covered the man’s entire face.

Suddenly, the man rushed towards the entrance at an extremely fast speed, crawling on all fours, his posture resembling some kind of mutated creature.

Seeing the bizarre man rushing towards him, Liang Yu instantly teleported behind his original position, watching as the other party rushed out.

As the other party rushed out, the Poisonous insects cultivation of the guard, the bizarre man, also followed, but Liang Yu did not follow them; instead, he kept his eyes on the mother Poisonous insects cultivation’s location.

At this moment, the mother Poisonous insects cultivation had already moved not far behind him.

Liang Yu directly passed through the wall blocking him and saw the locked room ahead.

As Liang Yu approached the room, he heard the sharp sound of fingernails scratching against the door panel coming from inside.

And the sound was quite noisy, not sounding like it was made by just one person.

Liang Yu moved to the side of the wall and poked his head in to check the situation.

Inside the room, he saw people with pale faces and vacant eyes, frantically scratching at the door, their fingers already covered in blood.

However, these people were clearly different from the bizarre man he had just encountered; from them, he could still see the unique will to survive that belonged to living people.

Liang Yu wondered, what was the connection between these people and the bizarre man outside?

Just as he was thinking, a strange frequency suddenly emanated from the room.

Immediately after, under the influence of that frequency, the white in the eyes of those who were previously dazed and scratching at the door began to expand.

Then the people in the room began to attack each other, and a bloody aura instantly filled the entire room.

Seeing such a bizarre scene, Liang Yu realized that something was wrong, and he was unsure if he would also be affected by that frequency.

Fearing death, Liang Yu quickly took out a medical kit and used it on himself, which made him feel a little more at ease, and then he took out another medical kit and placed it behind his neck as a cushion.

Although this would be a bit uncomfortable, he could use it at any moment if he had a thought.

In this short time, only less than ten people remained in the room, and these people were still fighting each other.

Liang Yu recognized this method; it was no different from the Poisonous insects cultivation that people used to practice.

In the past, people would catch twelve kinds of poisonous reptiles, usually venomous snakes, poisonous eels, centipedes, toads, scorpions, earthworms, large green caterpillars, mantises, etc., and put them into a jar.

Throughout the year, those poisonous insects would kill each other, devouring each other in the jar; the more poisonous ones would eat the less poisonous, and the stronger ones would eat the weaker, until only one remained.

And this one was the Poisonous insects cultivation that was cultivated, and surprisingly, this Poisonous insects cultivation would change its form and color after devouring other poisonous creatures.

The process of this Poisonous insects cultivation was extremely similar to what Liang Yu was seeing now.

Just as Liang Yu was observing, the last few people in the room also determined the victor.

A burly man stood in a pool of blood, his eyes gradually becoming fierce and cold.

As the victor, he now began to eat the corpses of the defeated on the ground.

During his meal, his body began to change, muscles swelled, skin gradually turned black and hard, and insect armor slowly grew.

And on his head, above his eyes, two tentacles appeared; these tentacles did not seem to have grown from his body.

To Liang Yu, it looked more like some creature inside the other party’s head had pierced through this person’s skull and released its tentacles.

Just as Liang Yu thought this Poisonous insects cultivation was over and was preparing to deal with this Poisonous insects cultivation.

Suddenly, the sounds of door locks being opened echoed all around.

Liang Yu vigilantly looked around as countless figures poured out of various rooms.

Most of these newly emerged people were similar to the Poisonous insects cultivation created earlier, having undergone varying degrees of mutation.

They seemed to have smelled prey and, with great默契, ran towards the central area.

As soon as they met in the central area, these frenzied people began to attack the person closest to them.

Watching them constantly slaughter each other, Liang Yu decided to act and put them all out of their misery.

Another reason was that Liang Yu knew that if this chaotic battle were allowed to continue, no one knew what terrifying existence would be born.

He extended his right hand, and a powerful energy gathered in his palm, then blasted towards the center of the chaotic crowd below.

The immense energy merely scattered the mutated people; such defensive power could only be described as truly formidable.

Those who were scattered immediately got back up, and in a moment, they re-gathered and began to fight each other again.

Liang Yu’s figure flickered, appearing on a higher platform.

He found that these people now had no rationality whatsoever, knowing only endless slaughter.

Just then, he felt the ground below tremble slightly, and a giant insect-like creature burst out of the earth; it emitted a nauseating smell and was covered in dense eyes.

This giant insect opened its large mouth and emitted that strange frequency.

All the mutated people not only did not stop attacking each other but became even more frantic.

The corpses of those who had fallen were dragged by the giant insect’s tentacles towards its body, constantly consuming these people’s corpses.

It was also at this moment that Liang Yu discovered something interesting: the locator he had previously placed on the mother Poisonous insects cultivation had appeared on this giant insect.

Only half of this giant insect’s body had emerged, the other half still underground.

Thinking of this, Liang Yu took out several incendiary bombs and freezing bombs, and in the gap while the giant insect was feeding, he threw all the incendiary bombs into its mouth.

After the giant insect swallowed the incendiary bombs, a painful roar came from its throat.

Flames could be seen burning within its open mouth.

A heavy sound rang out, and the giant insect painfully fell to the ground; its entire body underwent a transformation, whether due to the incendiary bombs burning inside it or its body’s own reaction, he didn’t know.

The giant insect’s body exposed on the ground had turned completely red.

At this opportune moment, Liang Yu threw out the freezing bombs, all hitting the giant insect’s body.

After being hit by the freezing bombs, the giant insect was quickly enveloped in a layer of ice.

Although it was temporarily controlled, the giant insect’s body color became increasingly red.

Thank you for your support, and I wish you all a Happy New Year.
