Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 37 Breaking out of the ground
Sun Hang exerted force with both arms and pulled the shovel out of the soil.

This time, the blood-like liquid no longer seeped out slowly, but spurted out from the soil like a fountain.

The two women screamed again.

"Is the amount of bleeding so heavy?" Sun Hang didn't hesitate and dug the shovel into the soil again. Then he used his thigh as a lever to lift up the top layer of soil.

A mass of swollen white rotten flesh appeared in front of Sun Hang.

There was a cut on its surface that matched the shape of a shovel. On the inside of the cut, there was a sticky substance like serum, and small blood beads constantly oozing out from the cross-section of the tissue. Thin hyphae drilled out from deep within the tissue, pulling the cut parts together like threading a needle... In just five or six seconds, the cut had healed, leaving only a slightly raised scar on the surface of the rotten flesh.

However, what surprised Sun Hang was that this "Tai Sui" was clearly exposed to the air and was only a few dozen centimeters away from him, but he still did not feel any "smell" of "belonging to food".

In his subconscious mind, this mass of swollen white rotten meat has been labeled as "inedible".

"How could this be possible... Clearly, the 'Tai Sui' that parasitizes in people's bodies can be eaten?" Sun Hang was full of doubts.

A little further away, the two men and two women had already knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the rotten meat in the soil, and said: "Grandpa Tai Sui, please don't blame me! Grandpa Tai Sui, spare my life! Grandpa Tai Sui..."

"What are you afraid of? It's just a piece of rotten meat that won't move..."

Before Sun Hang finished his words, the four of them began to twitch simultaneously. They rolled back and forth on the ground, their mouths wide open, but no sound came out of their throats. Their eyeballs bulged as if they were about to squeeze out of their sockets... That kind of painful expression could never be acted out.

Sun Hang immediately ran towards the male believer closest to him, but before he got close, a bloody mass of flesh suddenly broke out of his chest, fell to the ground with a "pa" sound, and then quickly burrowed into the soil.

The man with a big hole in his chest staggered to his feet from the ground and took two staggering steps towards Sun Hang. As soon as he raised one hand in front of him, he fell headfirst to the ground.

The same went for the other three people. When the thing left their bodies, their vitality was lost in just a few seconds and they turned into corpses.

This scene reminded Sun Hang of the scene in the classic horror movie "Alien" where a hatched alien larva emerged from its host's body...

"Huh... strange, when did I see this movie?" Sun Hang was stunned for a moment, but then a lot of memories that did not belong to him came flooding back. He quickly stopped the idea of ​​recalling and focused all his attention on the things in front of him.

There was no obvious movement of the rotten flesh exposed on the ground, but after more than ten seconds, accompanied by a creepy sound, hundreds of irregular pieces of flesh appeared on the edge of the windows of the residential building. These pieces of flesh squirmed and crawled, and then, like lemmings that had reached the end of their life journey, they jumped down from the windows dozens of meters high.

As soon as they hit the ground, the pieces of meat were smashed into pulp... But even so, they were still wriggling...

"It seems that there are no survivors in the entire cult organization." Sun Hang sighed softly. This was their predetermined fate, and his arrival brought this day forward by many days.

The smashed meat was also "absorbed" by the soil, and Sun Hang slowly retreated to the tiled area - he could vaguely guess that "Tai Sui" was recycling all the "seeds" that were parasitic in the human body, and was probably ready for a "decisive battle" with him.

"Let me see for myself...how powerful can a monster that has been dormant for seven years and devoured countless lives and flesh and blood be?" Sun Hang took a deep breath and murmured in a low voice.

Hopefully, this will be a great meal.

The ground began to tremble, the moss-covered soil broke apart, and a pale giant limb broke out of the ground - it was a human arm that was magnified hundreds of times, or to be more precise - it was a huge, deformed, humanoid arm. The giant arm swept towards Sun Hang almost without hesitation, but Sun Hang had retreated out of the attack range of the giant arm several seconds in advance. The giant arm missed, and the palm that was bigger than the door panel slammed on the residential building on the side, making a loud noise.

Many ominous cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the building, which was already a dangerous building. After a short "delay", a corner of the residential building suddenly collapsed... A few seconds later, the entire building turned into ruins, burying the giant arm underneath the ruins.

Sun Hang covered his mouth and nose. The smoke and dust in the air made it impossible for him to see the movements around him clearly, but the strong sense of crisis made him lie on the ground as if possessed by a ghost - just after he completed this action, a strong airflow swept over his head!

This airflow also tore apart the smoke and dust that blocked his vision. Only then did Sun Hang see clearly that the giant arms that broke out of the ground had become three, and in addition, there was a huge head that was nearly ten meters long.

Of course, Sun Hang was not sure whether this oval-shaped thing could be considered a "head".

There is no hair on its surface, and it is as smooth as the egg of some giant creature. On the front of it, it has its only "five senses" - an irregular mouthpart that is nearly circular, and the inside of the mouthpart is covered with densely packed teeth.

Even Sun Hang felt his scalp tingling when he saw it. If a trypophobic patient stood here, he would probably have fainted on the spot.

Two completely different voices appeared in Sun Hang's head at this time. One of the cowardly voices kept urging him: "Run, run, run! I am definitely no match for this thing! I will die, die, die..."

Another voice was filled with contempt: "No matter how big it is, it is just a low-level monster... Don't forget, it is just the prey... and I am the hunter."

But as Sun Hang's breathing gradually stabilized, the second voice became louder and louder, gradually overwhelming the first voice...

It is the prey and I am the hunter.

It is the prey and I am the hunter.

……

No, that's not right.

It is food...and I, am the predator.

"For such a large amount of food... I need to find a tableware that is big enough..." Sun Hang muttered to himself. He turned his gaze and looked at the things around him.

After a moment, he raised his right arm and clenched his five fingers.

The ruins of the residential building began to tremble, and then countless broken and deformed steel bars emerged from the ruins. They were like living insects, entwining and squeezing each other... By the time these steel bars reached Sun Hang's hands, they had turned into a 15-meter-long alien-shaped sword.

The steel bars "melted" into this strange-shaped long sword weigh several tons, but Sun Hang could not feel any weight at all when holding it in his hand... This thing was so easy to use that it seemed like an extension of his arm. With a light swing, he cut a gash in one of the giant arms of "Taisui" so deep that the bone was visible.

At this moment, Sun Hang smelled the unique "smell" of "food".

He finally understood why he couldn't smell this odor before - in order to protect himself, Tai Sui had completely wrapped his body with a layer of proliferating "rotten flesh". This layer of "rotten flesh" was like the epidermis of human skin, it was "dead". Only by cutting through this epidermis composed of dead cells could one touch Tai Sui's real body.
