Chapter 385: Shapeshifter Parasitism

"Zai Da?"

Su Ming's eyes were cold, staring at him sternly.

"That's right, it's me." Zai Da smiled, admitting it generously.

As soon as he saw him, Su Ming frowned slightly.

His intuition told him that this Zai Da was a bit strange.

Otherwise, why would he attack him?

"Hmph, finally caught you!" Behind him, another old voice said.

Subsequently, two people walked out from behind Su Ming.

One was the fifth-turn poison master of the Profound Mirror Guild, Yuan Bin.

The other was the cold-drop assassin who had just reached fifth-turn in the Profound Mirror Guild, Yuan Teng.

Yuan Teng was Yuan Bin's younger brother; Su Ming had met him once at an auction.

"Moon-Slaying Swordsman, did you think that by changing to the [Undead Assassin] title vest, we wouldn't recognize you?" Yuan Bin carried a poison mist canister on his back, smiling sinisterly.

A total of three people surrounded Su Ming.

Several people were filled with killing intent; their purpose was very clear.

They wanted to kill Su Ming!

Su Ming's mind moved slightly.

Xiao Ming immediately flew up, coming into the air to provide him with high-altitude vision.

He knew that a great battle was inevitable.

Yuan Bin smiled coldly, the hump on his nose bridge high, making his eagle-hook nose look extremely ugly.

Su Ming was unhurried, his fingers hooking slightly.

The flying sword returned, circling around him.

"Daring to target me, you've got guts." Su Ming sneered.

Subsequently, he turned his head and looked at Zai Da, a trace of doubt surging in his eyes.

"Zai Da, you are a veteran senior of Black Kill; why are you colluding with the Profound Mirror Guild to deal with me?"

"Do you want to betray Jiang Tianchi?"

Hearing this, Zai Da's youthful face surged with an evil, bloodthirsty smile.

"That's a long story." Zai Da shook his head.

When he heard this sentence, Su Ming's eyes narrowed.

In Zai Da's dark red eyes, traces of brown flickered, making Su Ming feel extremely weird.

Suddenly, Su Ming's gaze sharpened.

He discovered that Zai Da's pupils were emitting brown-yellow light, within which were traces of insect eggs wriggling.

This... was exactly like the features of the shapeshifter he encountered in the Zombie Siege dungeon!

Su Ming didn't hesitate and directly performed an Insight Eye scan.

Sure enough, on Zai Da's BUFF slot, there was a negative BUFF.

【Shapeshifter Parasitism: His shell has been occupied by a high-level shapeshifter; now this shapeshifter is gnawing on his brain and internal organs, gradually occupying his thinking】

It really was a shapeshifter!

And, it was a high-level shapeshifter!

Its strength was inevitably countless times stronger than the low-level shapeshifters he encountered in the Zombie Siege dungeon!

A drop of cold sweat flowed down Su Ming's forehead.

He didn't expect Zai Da to be possessed and parasitized by a shapeshifter.

What on earth happened?

"You were schemed against by Shi Liang in the tournament; I immediately saw through it; this was Yuan Bin's handiwork," Zai Da's voice was normal, sneering.

Su Ming knew that it was the shapeshifter dominating Zai Da's body now, yet there were almost no flaws; it was simply vivid and lifelike.

"So I severely injured Yuan Bin, making him wish he were dead, and then fled the tournament."

Speaking of this, Zai Da turned his head and glanced at Yuan Bin.

At least at that moment, Zai Da was still a member of Black Kill, standing up for Su Ming without hesitation, even not hesitating to put himself in danger.

Yuan Bin's old face turned black, and he felt a chill in his heart, his eyes showing some hidden fear.

It could be seen that even though Zai Da was standing on his side now, he was still afraid of that move—thousand-needle piercing—it was indeed too painful.

"At that time, people from the Heavenly Tower World and the Profound Mirror Guild chased and killed me together," Zai Da recalled.

"I fled to the C-grade dungeon, Chaos Cloud Great Forest, and as it happened, I stepped into the BOSS area; in the end, my luck was extremely bad, and I was hit by the BOSS, shattering one arm and one leg, unable to flee again," Zai Da's eyes were full of regret.

He was just an assassin; his health was too fragile.

"Then everyone from the Profound Mirror Guild rushed over!"

"After Guild Leader Guo Xin arrived at the scene, he didn't kill me."

"Instead, he saved me."

Speaking of this, Zai Da's eyes surged with extreme displeasure, and he spat.

"Damn, Guo Xin is really despicable."

"I am naturally free and unrestrained, but I also have my own bottom line."

"Guo Xin repaid evil with kindness and saved my life... no matter what, I have to repay this favor."

"His hand of open conspiracy, I really have no way."

Speaking of this, he shook his head and gave a bitter smile.

"Anyway, sorry." As he spoke, Zai Da shrugged, gripped his dagger, and walked forward slowly.

Clearly, he was going to kill Su Ming.

Hearing this, Su Ming's eyes were complex.

He believed that if Zai Da were awake now, he would definitely not attack him.

But in his state of being controlled by the shapeshifter, with his consciousness hazy, it was hard to say.

In the process of the shapeshifter devouring the host's memory, it would also self-absorb the host's personality.

That is to say, in the process of transforming the shell, the shapeshifter itself would also more or less absorb the will of this body, be assimilated somewhat, and its personality would also be extremely similar.

If it weren't for the Insight Eye, Su Ming probably wouldn't have been able to see that Zai Da was being parasitized by a shapeshifter.

Su Ming didn't hesitate at all, immediately activating his Will Butterfly Gu to fly out, circling behind and turning into an inconspicuous flowing light, rushing into Zai Da's ear.

"This high-level shapeshifter might be the mastermind who targeted me in the dungeon," Su Ming thought to himself with cold eyes.

"It controlled Zai Da's body, and then joined forces with the Profound Mirror Guild, wanting to defeat me and then seize my body; what a good method."

Profound Mirror Guild Leader Guo Xin, whose class was a sixth-turn Light Dark Guard, Su Ming didn't know his strength, but he must be a person who would stop at nothing.

Zai Da said earlier that Guild Leader Guo Xin spared his life and did him a favor.

I'm afraid this was the shapeshifter tampering with Zai Da's memory, so that his subconscious resistance wouldn't be so intense.

After all, it hadn't completely devoured this body yet; Zai Da's thinking could still resist a little bit, but it was very weak.

It is estimated that it modified the factual memory of Guo Xin joining forces with the shapeshifter to seize Zai Da's body into Guo Xin sparing his life.

It really is despicable enough.

The shapeshifter constantly influenced and matched this matter in his body, distorting Zai Da's will, leading to the two of them turning against each other now.

"Doesn't Jiang Tianchi have any kindness toward you?" Looking at Zai Da's advancing steps, Su Ming said solemnly.

He hoped to use Black Kill Guild Leader Jiang Tianchi to awaken Zai Da's reason and break free from the shapeshifter's dominance!

Zai Da's steps paused, and he shook his head.

Zai Da and Jiang Tianchi both awakened with seven-star talents back then, walking together to this day, experiencing countless life-and-death battles; the two had a friendship of life and death.

Although Jiang Tianchi was the guild leader and his cultivation was higher, Jiang Tianchi had never had the posture of a superior toward Zai Da.

So Su Ming wanting to use Jiang Tianchi to suppress Zai Da was impossible.

"Jiang Tianchi, that guy, is my good friend; he doesn't have any kindness toward me; on the contrary, when we were at the same level back then, I even saved his life once."

"However... if Guo Xin wants me to make a move on the members of Black Kill, I still can't make a move."

"Because some things are more important than human feelings and bottom lines," Zai Da said word by word.
