I became a member of the ancient gods

Chapter 237 Parasitic Ghoul
"Brother Zhong, are you still alive?"

Axia's shout made Lin Zhong turn around and saw the light of two searchlights appearing in the gray fog, quickly approaching them.

After the monitor Hongyue began to disappear, both A Xia and Li Wenzhou walked out of the tent where they were hiding.The commotion of the fighting just now attracted their attention, but they did not dare to rush out rashly. If they glanced at Hongyue during the battle, they would be done with it on the spot.

Wan Jin also quickly penetrated the gray mist and approached. She was unable to intervene in the battle just now, but she still stayed at her position and waited for instructions as Lin Zhong taught her in the past, adapting to changes.

"What happened to that flash of light just now? Why did it seem to be coming from the direction of our car?" Axia was still quite nervous and was wary of the location of the artificial angel on the high ground.

She could tell that it was the energy burst from the Bishop's family.

"Don't be nervous, that's the secret weapon we brought." Lin Zhong replied.

"Secret weapon?" A-Xia was surprised, but quickly realized, "Brother Zhong, you are not kind, you are still hiding your trump card."

"It's a good thing that teammates have trump cards in their hands. Look, you don't have to take action this time. The matter is over. The apostles who came to stir up trouble are all dead. How easy it is." Lin Zhong replied.

The lake water has gradually returned to calm, only the place that was just bombarded by the artificial angels is still rippling, and the water waves spread to the lake one after another.

"And there are apostles?" Axia opened his eyes wide, "You lied to me."

"Why are you lying to me? I will pick up the body later and extract the core for you to see." Lin Zhong replied.

Soon Fran controlled her upper body to retrieve the remains of the body and the remaining snake tail, and dragged them to the shore.

Axia used the searchlight on his helmet to shine on the apostle's remains, and was immediately amazed: "It's so curious to have so many human arms."

"This is the apostle we met last time, who grazed humans like cattle and sheep for rations. I guess she just came to the waters to hunt the new apostles while the red moon appeared, and it ran into us. After all We are moving in the same area, so it's not surprising that we bump into each other." Lin Zhong explained.

"There is indeed a reaction from the apostle." Axia turned on the detector and checked.

"The center of the abyss is really exaggerated..." As an assistant, Li Wenzhou began to feel that his level could not keep up with the combat requirements in this area.

If only the hunters from Axia Base form a team of less than seven people to station here, it may be difficult to survive the period when the red moon appears. This is the fundamental reason why they have not explored further yet.

Axia had the same idea as him. She looked at Lin Zhong and saw that Lin Zhong was safe and sound, which meant that the evolution should have been successful. Although she had not yet seen Lin Zhong show his hand with her own eyes, at this time Lin Zhong undoubtedly possessed the strength of an apostle.

She once surpassed Lin Zhong in the competition in the hunter industry, but now she has been surpassed by Lin Zhong not only in terms of her exploration of the abyss and the truth of the catastrophe, but also in terms of strength itself.

"I have to accept it." Axia let out a long breath.

"What's wrong?" Lin finally heard her muttering.

"No, Brother Zhong is awesome!" Axia smiled and reached out to pat Lin Zhong's back.

"What are you doing?" Lin Zhong was not wearing protective clothing, and his back hurt from the slap.

Fran quickly stretched out her tentacles and began to inspect the wreckage, then sprayed special digestive fluid on the remains. Extracting the core from the apostle required specific instruments and experimental drugs, but in Fran's hands, this was nothing more than a small operation.

Soon, her tentacles extracted the core from the wreckage.

Fran suddenly said "Huh" in surprise.

"What?" Lin Zhong asked.

"This core..." Fulan ordered the tentacle to spit out the extracted core into his hand and showed it to everyone, "It is not complete!"

"Indeed!" Axia was the first to react. She had seen the complete apostle core with her own eyes.

Lin Zhong was stunned for a moment, then realized: "Could it be..."

Fran raised her face and met his eyes, both of them thought of the same possibility.

"You search the lake, and I'll search the lakeside!" Lin Zhong immediately gave instructions to Fran.

The remaining three people looked at each other in confusion. Before Axia could ask what was going on, Lin Zhong's figure disappeared on the spot. He picked up his weapon, activated time acceleration, and began to search around the lakeside.

Fran turned her attention to the lake and controlled the parasite to conduct a thorough search in the lake.

"What happened?" Asha asked.

"That guy escaped. He divided his core, turned the main body and another part of the core into parasites and left them in the water. The remaining core stayed in the body for us to attack and attract our attention." Fran replied seriously, "I also did the splitting of the core back then."

"Becoming a parasite? But doesn't that mean we need to find a spare body? Where can we use a body in this lake?" Axia asked doubtfully.

Fran also thought of this crop, the pure parasite's ability to move is actually quite limited.

If the apostle split the core to make a parasite out of desperation, it was probably the first time it was hit by an artificial angel before being blasted out of the water.

Realizing that she might not be able to escape easily, she divided the core to create a parasite, leaving the remaining body with the apostle's reaction, using this huge sacrifice to attract the attention of Fran and Lin Zhong.

If a parasite with a core and a brain can't find a new body, it won't survive for long.

But in the lake, the only large creatures alive were basically the upper body she controlled. If the parasite of the apostle invaded, she would not be unaware of it.

Suddenly, she thought of a possibility: "It may not be completely alive..."

Under the surprised gazes of others, she jumped directly into the water, dived deeply, and reached the center of the lake in one breath.

In order to preserve the corpses of the Abyss to avoid decay, they finally put the Abyss back into the lake, turned them back into ghouls, and then locked them in the refuge cabin with shackles.

In the ghoul state, most of their body cells actually still have a certain amount of activity, but it is difficult to retain their activity after leaving the blood lake.

If that parasite infiltrates here and parasitizes the ghoul, reactivates the living cells and removes the necrotic parts, it may be able to "resurrect" this half-dead body.

Fran ordered the parasites placed nearby to emit fluorescence and gather into the refuge cabin.

With just one glance, she saw a shackled severed limb. A corpse that was supposed to be locked here cut off its own limbs and escaped.
