My Girlfriend is a Zombie - Chapter 1043: Self-Inflicted ④⓪⓪ Times
“Hoh…”
The Centipede King’s cries sounded like mocking laughter, as it stared down at Ling Mo, saliva dripping eagerly. Though this tiny human seemed more resilient than he appeared, in the eyes of the Centipede King, Ling Mo’s defeat was merely a matter of time. Compared to its formidable body, this human was simply too fragile.
The scent emanating from this human… and the powerful energy radiating from his brain… all of this excited the Centipede King immensely. Its tentacles twitched impatiently, as if it couldn’t wait to feast, while its long tongue repeatedly attempted to reach Ling Mo’s head, the barbs writhing in saliva, eager to taste his brain…
“Hoh…”
“Damn it…” Ling Mo frowned, trying to keep his eyes wide open. Sweat blurred his vision, but in this situation, he couldn’t even lift a hand. Although it wasn’t his body fighting, the frantic consumption of psychic power had already diminished his control over his body. In other words, once his psychic power was depleted, he would become a helpless feast, standing there, watching himself get devoured…
And the Centipede King was waiting for just that moment…
“This is bad… the consumption is too fast…” Ling Mo blinked hard, looking at the Centipede King. “What’s worse is that its speed and strength aren’t showing any signs of weakening; they’re only getting stronger due to inertia… but I can’t afford to interrupt…”
If he did, he might already be dead by the time he tried to catch his breath…
Just standing here gave Ling Mo a constant sense of impending doom. And as time passed, this feeling only intensified… Ling Mo even felt his consciousness beginning to blur, with only the monster and the endless energy surging from his brain remaining in his mind…
“Thump… thump…”His heartbeat grew fainter, and gradually, Ling Mo’s vision began to turn red…
“How much longer can I hold on? A minute? No, thirty seconds?… The speed at which psychic power is disappearing is like a flood… My head feels heavy, my body… why can’t I feel it?… Strange, even though my consciousness is blurred, why do I feel so clear…”
Even the Centipede King became clearer in his vision…
No, that’s not right… It wasn’t the Centipede King that was clear, but its psychic light cluster. And… the numerous light points on its body…
“What is this? Psychic power that appears after the brain extends to other places? Or…”
Ling Mo suddenly realized that his field of vision had expanded. Not only was the Centipede King visible, but all around him, even behind him, there were numerous psychic light clusters and countless glowing dots…
“It’s not psychic power…” Mu Chen and the others also had these dots on them, and they certainly weren’t brain-eaters. Not only did they not eat brains, but they also didn’t undergo any brain-related mutations…
“What is it? Energy? Energy other than psychic power?”
Ling Mo couldn’t help but wonder… He hadn’t even noticed that the Centipede King’s reaction had changed… And not far away, Ye Lian and the others were also turning their heads.
Especially Black Silk… It was staring blankly at Ling Mo, then reached out to grab at the air. Though it caught nothing, it seemed to have seen something…
“What is this…” Xia Na also looked up, murmuring. Inside her, a vague figure had appeared, the spiritual body Nana… And at this moment, it emerged uncontrollably…
“I don’t know…” Black Silk whispered. It could sense the anomaly, and not far from it, Yu Shiran also looked towards the sky with a sense of realization.
Among the humans, only Gu Shuangshuang understood what they were talking about… She had opened her eyes, staring fearfully above her head…
It was a storm composed of countless blood-red lines… It spun and churned wildly, emanating an oppressive aura that was nothing short of intimidating.
It felt like a pair of gigantic eyes had suddenly appeared above, staring down at you… Not only could they see every expression on your face, but they could also delve into your mind, seeing all your thoughts, your body, your everything…
“This is…”
Gu Shuangshuang raised her hand to cover her mouth, then turned her terrified gaze towards Ling Mo…
Such a terrifying psychic storm was hovering directly above Ling Mo… The red tentacles that formed the storm ultimately converged into a pulsating red energy, directly connecting with Ling Mo’s mind…
Meanwhile, Ling Mo’s eyes appeared utterly bewildered… His face was unusually pale, standing there with a peculiar expression as he faced the eerie Centipede King.
It wasn’t fear, nor was it mockery…
To be precise, he seemed to be observing the Centipede King… with a hint of curiosity and a trace of interest.
And the Centipede King, which had been drooling while staring at him, suddenly became agitated. It seemed to sense something, repeatedly emitting “Hoh” sounds. After a bout of anxiety, it suddenly raised its head and launched an even more frenzied attack.
This time, unlike the previous exhaustion, not only the Centipede King but also the Hellforged Monsters suddenly began a frenzied assault.
“What’s going on!” Zhang Xincheng shouted. Now, forget about shooting downwards; just dealing with the Hellforged Monsters charging at them was already overwhelming.
“Hold on!” Xia Na yelled while swinging her Scythe. With Ling Mo’s situation taking a turn, they couldn’t afford to relax here… It was best to quickly cut down these Monsters and then go help Ling Mo…
Xu Shuhan glanced towards Ling Mo and the Centipede King’s direction, anxiously thinking, “Ling Mo, what are you doing… This is no time to be spacing out!”
Indeed… To others, Ling Mo appeared as if he was in a daze. In reality, he himself wasn’t sure what he was doing… His consciousness, body, and mind seemed disconnected… Yet his uncontrolled thoughts seemed clearer than ever…
“The light spots are getting bigger…” Ling Mo thought, staring at the Centipede King.
In his eyes, the agitated Centipede King appeared almost like an outline composed of light spots…
“Its body should be hard to break?” Ling Mo mused, casually moving his fingers.
Clang!
A spark immediately flew from the Centipede King’s body, and Xu Shuhan, who was watching, almost cried out.
“Ling Mo! What are you doing!”
“Hmm, as expected… Now… what about the light spots?” Ling Mo refocused on those light spots… He didn’t even notice he could now multitask using Tentacles. In the previous confrontation, he had almost purely resisted…
“Strange, even though the consumption is faster, why do I feel less dizzy? Never mind… let’s try this first.”
Ling Mo flicked his fingers again.
As his index finger flicked out, the Centipede King’s arm suddenly swung.
Under Xu Shuhan’s stunned gaze, the Centipede King’s claw heavily smashed into its own face, causing a large splash of blood.
“How… did you do that?” Xu Shuhan stared at Ling Mo’s back… For some reason, she faintly sensed a peculiar feeling from him… Although he was clearly facing away from her and seemed to be in a daze, Xu Shuhan felt as if Ling Mo was watching her…
Bang!
Again.
The Centipede King’s fists, which could always accurately and swiftly strike Ling Mo’s head, now deviated in direction, even hitting itself.
No matter how strong its defensive capability was, it couldn’t withstand its own attacks…
“Hoh…”
The Centipede King was bewildered, glaring at Ling Mo, it suddenly opened its mouth wide and let out a chilling roar: “Roar!”
Bang bang bang bang!
Ling Mo raised a finger at this moment and quickly waved it left and right…
“Let’s try again…” he murmured to himself, his gaze vacant.
