Chapter 209: My paws, why won't they listen to me?

"If you, my lord, do not abandon me, I, Li, shall never abandon you!"

The young man with a resolute face knelt on one knee, his expression solemn, and spoke these incredibly bizarre words to a small fox standing on its hind legs. This stunned everyone else who had run onto the engineering vehicle to act as counterweights.

After Master Fox's swift and decisive actions, the parasitic beast had now completely lost its dreams.

Its attitude of surrender was exceptionally sincere; it was just short of raising its hand to swear to Goddess Mazu that it would absolutely never have wet dreams again.

"Don't you dare steal my lines!"

After receiving the notification that the wish power points had been credited, An Sheng raised his fox head full of pride, his face showing disdain. A mere fungal parasitic beast was simply a piece of cake to handle.

"Right! You just said you wanted me to eat you—what kind of trap did you set for me inside?"

An Sheng crossed his arms and looked at the parasitic beast, which was no longer hissing at him, asking with some curiosity.

"I can parasitize through insect eggs. If you eat me, I can transfer my body. My lord's body is so strong, so very nourishing. I haven't been able to forget it since the first time I saw it."

The parasitic beast spoke without beating around the bush, revealing the thoughts deep within its heart.

The last time they met was in the ICU, but at that time, the human, the fungus, and the parasite had not yet perfectly fused into a brand-new individual. Back then, Lord Fuli happened to pass by the hallway, and that exuberant vitality, which seemed capable of piercing the very heavens, had left the parasite mesmerized.

Unfortunately, its body was in poor shape and it couldn't move at all.

It wasn't until the human, insect, and fungus formed a triangular bond that the parasitic beast couldn't wait to run back to Jule City, attempting to replace the weak points on its body and evolve into a brand-new life form after switching into Lord Fuli's physique.

"Parasitizing through insect eggs... Tsk."

Upon hearing this, An Sheng showed a look of disgust, feeling that this parasitic beast must be quite unhygienic.

"Slovenly ghost, sit down. From now on, whatever those people on the vehicle say, you do exactly as they tell you. Otherwise, Lord Fuli will personally pay you a visit and gift you a transformation on the level of a life reboot. Do you understand?"

An Sheng looked at the parasitic beast and chirped in a deep voice.

"Li is willing to obey everything from my foster father." The parasitic beast hurriedly spoke to express its loyalty, fearing it would be dragged back to be crushed again.

"Step back!"

An Sheng signaled for the parasite to sit to one side, then returned to his four-legged stance, looking with curiosity at the dozen or so people of various sizes in the engineering vehicle's cargo bed.

"..."

Being watched by Lord Fuli, the Red-tailed Hawk and Jin Long Da Ye both felt uncomfortable all over. Jin Long Da Ye even retreated from its original position of lying on the guardrail to look out, shrinking back onto Jin Wanlin's shoulder with its head buried in the folds of her clothing.

Jin Wanlin, stung by the lizard's scales, rolled her eyes in annoyance and dragged the lizard out.

…………

As the parasitic beast sat down obediently, the relevant personnel gradually began to enter the site to clean up the construction area.

Especially the fragments that had fallen off the parasitic beast—all sorts of fungal hyphae, mold spots, and things like blood were the primary targets for cleanup; everything had to be collected.

"What was that stuff you just injected into your legs? Do you have any extra for me? In the future, when Xueqing goes crazy and makes me transform again, I'll give her butt a fierce shot so she can turn into a beast-eared girl in a flash."

The little fox used his own limb strength to treat Jin Wanlin like a cat tree, asking questions while crawling around her, as if completely defying gravity. The scene was extremely bizarre.

"Don't even think about it. The stuff Wanlin and Feng Wenyu just injected into their bodies was extracted from plants and mixed with our 'what-cha-ma-call-it' stuff. It's a custom-made, one-on-one reagent. We only get two vials per outing."

Seeing Lord Fuli practically dancing ballet on his partner's chest, Jin Long Da Ye immediately became unhappy and answered Lord Fuli's question with annoyance.

It was an injection that enabled Jin Wanlin and Feng Wenyu to super-evolve and engage in direct PVP with the parasitic beast.

In essence, it was a high-concentration Spirit Grain reagent, incorporating a portion of a spirit beast's genetic sequence.

Although Spirit Grain could not be collected from the air, researchers could extract it from plants.

The 21st century is the century of biology. Although it is currently impossible to turn ordinary people into Spirit Humans, high-concentration Spirit Grain reagents and spirit beast genes can induce human-to-spirit-human transformation in a short time after injection.

And once the Spirit Grain in their bodies is exhausted, they will exit the super-evolved state.

Generally speaking, it is quite rare for loggers to use these injections while performing field work for pest and disease control. Usually, they can suppress threats with modern weapons and spirit beasts, then lock them down firmly using the Chemical Adhesive Array.

The 'Spirit Grain Injection' is a precious trump card, not something that can be used at will.

Unfortunately, Feng Wenyu and Jin Wanlin ran into an extremely fierce fungal parasitic beast.

They were forced by the parasitic beast to use one of their final trump cards.

If even this cannot resolve the parasitic beast, the only option left is to use surface-to-surface missiles and begin a carpet bombing.

This is also the reason why Su Qiyuan and Bai Tao had to rush toward this construction site with An Sheng.

Luring a spirit beast to the suburbs and blasting it with cannons and missiles is, in a sense, an old tradition.

"It has to be specially formulated and matched... boring..."

Upon learning that Jin Wanlin's super-evolution stemmed from the Anquan Bureau's technological means, An Sheng was immediately disappointed.

He had been thinking that if Xueqing ever wanted him to transform, he would backhand a needle into her butt and make her transform first.

"Since the matter is resolved, I'm going home to have a midnight snack."

An Sheng glanced at the scene, seeing Feng Wenyu directing the logistics team to enter, and feeling bored. He walked up to Bai Tao, tugged on her pants, took his phone out of his bag, and wrote:

【There's no point in staying here. I'm going home to lie in Xueqing's arms, eat potato chips, drink cola, and scroll through Yin Fu.】

An Sheng had gone out in the evening, and after heading to Snake Mountain, speeding on the highway, and the chaotic battle at the construction site, the time was now exactly 8:30 PM. Going home would still allow him to have Xueqing help him pack a fast-food meal from next door.

"..."

Bai Tao squatted down and looked at the words Lord Fuli had written on the screen, feeling a mix of amusement and helplessness. Lord Fuli's daily life... in a sense, could be described as quite comfortable and nourishing.

An Sheng put his phone back into his bag. When the bag's zipper opened, Bai Tao, with her sharp eyes, saw a few familiar-looking cans through the gap in the zipper, and her expression froze.

"Lord Fuli, why do you have so many lighters and three aerosol cans in your bag?"

"Wait! Those are adhesive removers... Wuwu!" Seeing the weapons that looked like lighter refill cans, Bai Tao hadn't reacted at first, but she soon realized that what was in Lord Fuli's bag were no refill cans.

Those things were clearly adhesive removers, a chemical agent that could dissolve chemical adhesives.

Although this stuff was rarely seen outside, it was not a rare item for people in the Anquan Bureau. During operations, to prevent accidental injury, or in certain unavoidable situations, loggers would cover both friendly forces and enemies within the adhesive strike range.

It was normal for them to carry adhesive removers, especially when targeting fungal parasitic beasts.

"Shh! I'll give you two hundred!"

An Sheng pinched Bai Tao's little mouth and sneakily made a shushing gesture.

Although he had taken them fair and square.

It was still not good to be seen by others. Let's discuss these things privately; don't go blabbing about it.

Bai Tao looked at Lord Fuli with black lines on her face, feeling as if she had discovered some incredible secret.

Lord Fuli, whose combat power on the field was explosive...

In private, his little hands didn't seem very clean, did they?
