Chapter 898: The Turnabout of the Parasite
Though the derived monster’s body was still twitching, technically speaking, it should be dead beyond resurrection… Yet, on Xiao Yue Er, Ling Mo observed another possibility…
“Logically, the moment she was interfered with, she should have immediately ceded control of this body back to the original master… Even though the principles differ, her parasitization and my Zombie Puppet bear quite a few similarities… If my Zombie Puppet were to sustain damage that also harms the main body, I would take evasive measures too… But she didn’t do that, why?”
The answer might be simple…
Ling Mo walked up to Xiao Yue Er and placed the derived monster beside her.
Subsequently, he reached out towards the derived monster…
“Ugh… this is a truly horrible experience… It might leave a psychological shadow…”
The body of the derived monster was covered in that unknown mucus, not only making its skin slicker but also adding a protective layer. Ling Mo’s “hedgehog mode” had left many wounds on it, yet none truly penetrated its body. However, significant blood loss did slow its movements, and its frenzied attacks only ripped the wounds further, hastening the blood loss. Without this prior condition, Ling Mo wouldn’t have been able to catch it.
“The normal incubation probably involves thoroughly absorbing this mucus to form a hard shell similar to its head… Once that happens, this little guy could be named Ninja Turtle…” Ling Mo mused as he tolerated the slippery feeling, pressing inch by inch on the derived monster’s body.
“There it is.”
