Hunter of Mysterious Creature-Chapter 372 - 30: Parasitic Tentacles

"This intensity... is it high?" Wang Xiyi casually squeezed, and the steel pipe in her hand was crumpled into an irregular-shaped iron lump.

"Big sis, is your strength comparable to mere mud flow?" Sun Hang was somewhat speechless.

"Then it must be the work of a malevolent entity." Wang Xiyi spread her hands and said, "Observatory No. 5 was attacked by a malevolent entity, and it was total annihilation. This does fit our prior speculation... Also, don’t call me big sis."

"Then what should I call you?"

"Codename, full name, or ’Mr. Wang’ which you often used before... Or you can call me sister, since you have done that too," Wang Xiyi shot a glance at Sun Hang, "Of course, I wouldn’t mind if you called me mom."

Sun Hang hadn’t spoken yet when Zhong Ling’s weak voice suddenly came through the headset, "You all... play so wild privately?"

"Want to join?" Wang Xiyi turned her head and looked at Zhong Ling, jokingly, "I’ll bring you along next time."

"Ugh... next, next time?" Zhong Ling was at a loss for words, her face turning completely red.

Although she had been thinking about what happened in the dream, as an inexperienced girl, her skin was thin, unlike Wang Xiyi’s "fearless, confront if unconvinced" nature.

"If you’re shy, let’s forget it then." Wang Xiyi flicked her tail, scattering a curtain of rain.

"I..." Zhong Ling hadn’t finished speaking when her expression suddenly changed, and she whispered, "There’s something!"

About a hundred meters from where the three had landed, Chimera 17 suddenly burst out of the soil, with a humanoid figure in a mud-covered protective suit hanging on its slender arm.

Chimera 17’s palm fingers were tightly closed, its sharp fingertips pierced through the heart area of the humanoid figure, emerging from the back—such an injury for a human should mean definite death, yet the figure was still desperately struggling.

"It’s the missing field agent." Wang Xiyi’s smile instantly vanished, her expression turned stern, "Has this guy been lurking in the mud all along?"

"Either its heart is on the right," Sun Hang said calmly, "or it’s no longer human."

Before the words fell, the protective suit on the special agent had been torn open from the inside, countless tentacles rushed out from the suit, frantically entangling Chimera 17!

These swollen pallid tentacles looked like spoiled pickled chicken claws... Not only did they resemble them in appearance, for Sun Hang, they indeed matched those expired chicken claws that sprayed a foul broth upon opening the packaging.

In four words: Completely unappetizing.

Chimera 17 reacted quickly, it directly withdrew the right arm from the other’s body, its fingers danced quickly, forming an impenetrable barrier in front of itself—those tentacles that touched this barrier instantly turned into splattered minced meat, unable to touch Chimera 17’s body at all.

"There’s not just one." Sun Hang’s eyelid twitched, the next second, several giant spikes of white mycelium surged from the ground, each spike had skewered a malevolent entity transformed from a missing field agent.

For these entities, Sun Hang had no desire to absorb them, after parsing their memes, he immediately severed the connection between himself and these giant spikes; the entities whose meme structures were completely destroyed quickly dissolved into pus, merging with the flowing mud on the ground.

"Can we determine which kind of malevolent entity infected them?" Wang Xiyi asked, "Is it Chimera 17?"

Even though Sun Hang hadn’t directly encountered Chimera 17, he had a "more intimate" contact with Wang Xiyi, who had, through her, Sun Hang had already obtained quite a bit of information about Chimera 17.

For some reason, this malevolent entity gave Sun Hang a feeling of both familiarity and strangeness, as if he had encountered something similar somewhere before, but when he tried to recall seriously, his mind plunged into a blank space.

Sun Hang guessed he had contact with Chimera 17... It’s just that the memory related due to his "amnesia" had been sealed deep within his mind.

Furthermore, memories related to "Anna" were gradually fading in Sun Hang’s mind—it’s as if an eraser is constantly wiping away the images in his head, so much so that Sun Hang has to recall the events with Anna repeatedly.

Just like using a pencil to retrace those scenes that were erased leaving only a faint shadow.

Even so, the scene of his "first" meeting with Anna had become quite hazy now.

Those pictures looked like the perspective of a highly nearsighted person who forgot to wear glasses.

"No." Sun Hang shook his head, "It’s a meme fragment completely unfamiliar to me... Of course, there’s also the possibility that Chimera 17 mutated, making its meme entirely different from when you beat it half to death."

"Hmm..." Wang Xiyi nodded, "It abandoned most of its body that day and escaped underground... At that time its core meme was on the verge of collapse, but I couldn’t pursue it, otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many troubles thereafter."
