Chapter 77 Is It the Same One?

That creature, the one that had been elusive before, actually looked quite endearing.

Chubby, fluffy, and possessing a familiar air of laziness that struck a chord with Lawyer An.

Its fur was grey, though whether it was due to the constant refraction of the green liquid or something else, faint purple stripes could be discerned.

It looked like a cat, but also like a fox. Right now, the creature had all four paws on its owner, sprawled out on his chest.

These two,

No,

This man and beast,

Were they sleeping?

Lawyer An felt the scene before him

was filled with a浓郁 satirical air.

Xu Qinglang also approached and followed Lawyer An's gaze. He, too, was stunned.

It wasn't their fault for being so surprised. It was because they had imagined countless good scenarios and bad scenarios, but they never expected this!

Not only was the boss not killed by that mysterious and terrifying being,

but they were actually sleeping together?

"I think…" Xu Qinglang paused, struggling to continue, "they're sleeping soundly?"

It was an absurd feeling, but also the most direct impression.

"Perhaps… maybe… probably… anyway… I don't know anymore."

Lawyer An blinked.

The scene before him had truly exceeded his experience and cognitive range.

"So, should we blow it up or not?" Xu Qinglang asked.

"Logically speaking, we shouldn't, since the boss doesn't seem to be in any danger, at least for now.

But seeing how busy we've been and how everyone's injured, and he's here hugging his new love and sleeping soundly, my hands are really itchy. I really want to blow it up!"

This kind of boss is the kind employees unanimously want to kill!

Xu Qinglang nodded, agreeing.

"Hey, alright, go back and tell Yingying and the others to wait and see. I'll keep watch here.

Damn it,

I didn't expect to have to moonlight as a chambermaid at my age."

"I'll go out first. Tell me if anything happens. There's still a signal here."

"I know. Keep watching. If anything happens, just blow it up."

Xu Qinglang left.

Lawyer An used his one hand to feel in his pocket, took out a cigarette, bit it, changed his posture, lay down, lit the cigarette, took a deep breath, and exhaled heavily.

He kept thinking,

What exactly was that thing that looked like a fox and a cat?

As for why it and his boss were "so harmonious,"

Lawyer An didn't know, and he didn't bother to waste brain cells on it, because he never figured out why his boss could become like that with Ying Gou?

"Fast, like a fox and a cat, tsk tsk, also like a ferret, this…"

Lawyer An started his mental gears,

and went through all the famous monsters in history,

but couldn't seem to find any clues.

However, just as he was about to give up, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind.

Hua Hu Diao,

Zijin Hua Hu Diao! (Purple-Gold Flower Fox Ferret)

The *Investiture of the Gods* seemed to have records of this demon beast.

It seemed to be the living magical treasure of Mo Lishou, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Magic Clan at Jiameng Pass, extremely ferocious. But in the end, it seemed to swallow Yang Jian, who was eventually killed by Yang Jian from its belly.

Holy crap,

Was it the same one?

Lawyer An turned his face again and looked at the pair who were still sound asleep, as if oblivious to the passage of time.

If it really was that one, or even if it was of the same race as that one from the *Investiture of the Gods*,

it would definitely be an extremely terrifying existence!

Recalling the terrifying speed and attack power it displayed when attacking the little boy and Yingying, even a zombie's physique would pale in comparison, and Xu Qinglang's Sea God phantom was directly torn apart by it.

Demons valued bloodlines, and judging from the strength and ability it had shown,

those Great Immortals that the Late Night Bookstore in the old forests of Northeast China had come into contact with weren't even qualified to carry its shoes.

It was just,

when would the boss wake up?

Most importantly,

why was the boss's body still so broken, without any improvement?

He was practically soaked in "nutrient solution," yet there was no sign of regeneration?

Actually,

there was an effect,

but it was too slow and too internal, so Lawyer An couldn't see it from a distance.

Tendrils, like tiny tentacles, were constantly extending within Zhou Ze's body. They transformed into Zhou Ze's meridians, even his blood vessels, and began to remodel his body.

Because it treated Zhou Ze as the soil for its growth and rooting, it instinctively wanted to secure the foundation under its feet. So, it wasn't actively trying to help Zhou Ze recover from his injuries or regulate his body.

Boss Zhou only felt itchy all over, very comfortable, so comfortable that he didn't want to open his eyes at all. If this was a dream, then let it be a dream forever.

The one on Boss Zhou's chest

was also contracting and opening its claws from time to time, unconsciously scratching,

and occasionally sticking out its tongue to lick its lips,

seeming to be sleeping soundly as well.

However,

this tranquility didn't last long.

Because after Zhou Ze's body was completely covered and controlled by this plant,

a pure yet vigorous consciousness

actually began to directly attack Zhou Ze's consciousness!

Survival, development, existence,

was the instinct of every living being.

In an instant,

Zhou Ze felt as if countless needles were repeatedly piercing him all over his body,

and intense pain washed over him like a tide.

Zhou Ze suddenly opened his eyes.

He only saw that there seemed to be something on his body,

but by the time he looked closely,

that thing had disappeared.

At this time, Zhou Ze had no time to care about that. When he stood up from a lying position, tendrils were still waving and swaying around him.

This scene

was very similar to a famous Japanese film series.

"Eh, Boss?"

Lawyer An immediately got up and stared at the top. He saw his boss twisting his body like a giant octopus, and the tendrils were constantly entangled together.

Lawyer An immediately took out his phone and dialed a number. Thank God, there must be a base station nearby, so even in the pit, there was a weak signal.

"Hey! Tell Zhen Meili to come down!"

Before he could hang up,

Lawyer An felt a wave of air contract,

and the green substance in front of him began to shrink rapidly.

This was like the principle of an air pump. The rapid contraction created a pressure difference, and the outside air began to be sucked in quickly. Lawyer An happened to be blocking the tunnel.

"Poof!"

Before Lawyer An could figure out what was happening, he was sucked in.

Fortunately, the green substance receded faster than him, otherwise, once he was immersed in it, it wouldn't be as simple as amputation.

Getting up from the ground, he looked up,

Lawyer An saw his boss struggling to get out of the green substance. Half of his body was already out, but the tendrils on his body were frantically pulling him back, engaging in a tug-of-war.

The plant didn't want to give up these nutrients. It instinctively sought the most suitable place for its growth and survival. However, Zhou Ze didn't dare to stay there any longer. If he allowed the vegetation on his body to flourish further, he might really be taken over!

Seemingly because Zhou Ze was starting to leave,

the green substance began to slowly shrink and condense,

Zhou Ze pressed one hand against the pit wall, completely treating himself as a big radish, starting to pull himself out.

However,

the tendrils on his body, long and short, big and small, were frantically drilling into the green pit wall.

"Aaaaaaaah!!!!!"

Zhou Ze let out a low roar.

This feeling of playing tug-of-war with himself, of tearing himself apart, was really unbearable!

Moreover,

because his body was too weak and too broken,

embarrassingly,

Zhou Ze found

that he actually couldn't beat this plant!

A sense of shame filled his heart,

Had I become

this useless?

Zhou Ze subconsciously raised his only remaining right arm, but when he was about to use his fingernails to cut off the shackles, he was stunned to find that he had no fingernails at all. There was only a pitch-black bone hand on his right arm.

During the previous battle with the leper monk,

he'd been too hyped up,

and had hyped himself up to this state!

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

Zhou Ze's body was retreating, about to be pulled back into the pit wall.

Lawyer An was extremely anxious, but he didn't know what to do. He was also equipped with the Yang Guo standard, just like the boss.

The black girl hadn't come down yet, why hadn't she come yet!

Right now,

the only one who could subdue the plant in the boss's body was the black girl.

"I…"

Most of Zhou Ze's body had been dragged back,

leaving only one hand and a head outside, making a final struggle.

It was going to break,

it was really going to break…

"Swish!"

The sound of air friction came,

followed by "crack crack crack crack crack!!!!!"

Continuous cracking sounds,

Zhou Ze only felt a lightness on his body,

and his whole body fell forward directly from the pit wall,

crashing heavily to the ground.

"Ugh… cough…"

Boss Zhou felt that this body of his could really be sent to a scrap recycling station to be sold.

"Boss!"

Seeing that Zhou Ze had finally escaped,

Lawyer An immediately deliberately swayed his one arm and limped over. If he didn't know that he was bleeding too much, he might have deliberately torn out some more to increase the visual effect.

However,

as he was about to approach Zhou Ze,

"Buzz!"

The sound came!

"F*…%$#"

Lawyer An flew out and crashed heavily into the wall in front of him. When he slowly fell down, he barely raised his head and saw that grey flower fox ferret,

crouching on the boss's chest again.

A mouthful of old blood spewed out of Lawyer An's mouth,

Damn it,

this stupid ferret,

thought I was going to fight it for a bed?
