Fear of food

Chapter 30 What the dog eats, he eats too.

This sudden change surprised all the members of the "Jinghai Foraging Group".

Inside the market, both customers and vendors appeared listless and expressionless.

Chen Qi and his group of pagans stood out among them.

After lingering on Chen Qi and Zhui Feng, the parasite's gaze shifted to Da Bing, who was walking a dog, and finally to the other two people in the crowd.

A middle-aged man with curly hair, rather thin, with his hands in his pockets, looked arrogant.

The other woman exuded an air of elegance and appeared to be in her thirties. She had a mature and sophisticated face, a very prominent figure with a curvaceous body, and clearly a person who regularly works out.

Even without an introduction, Chen Qi could guess that the curly-haired middle-aged man was "swill" and the noblewoman was "coffee".

The parasite chuckled: "Bro, are all your friends here?"

Before Zhui Feng could speak, Da Bing, who was leading a dog, strode forward and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with these people? They all look dazed. Have you parasites mastered new skills again?"

"go!"

Zhui Feng pulled Chen Qi and hid behind Da Bing.

Chen Qi looked at Da Bing with some curiosity. Based on the group chat information, it was not hard to tell that this person was one of the few, or perhaps the only, people in the group with any fighting ability.

Momo's combat strength is unknown, Swill and Broad Bean admit they're not good enough, Chase's main strength lies in his driving skills, and Coffee seems to have more money than superpowers.

Currently, it seems that all the members in the several groups at the market are counting on the flatbread.

The parasite didn't answer Big Pancake's question, but instead said, "This is a good location, full of food. It's on me today, so everyone can eat as much as they want. You can leave when you're full."

"If someone has no appetite, I can feed them."

Zhui Feng gritted his teeth: "I don't care what you are, get off my brother!"

"Haha, I'm your own brother, don't you recognize me?"

The parasite laughed maniacally, its body swelling again, reverting to its eight-legged humanoid spider form.

Meanwhile, the vendors and customers around him, who had been sitting blankly, all wandered around, leaving a large space empty.

"Let's start with you, my dear brother, let me, your younger brother, feed you with my own hands."

The parasite casually picked up a spiky, beating heart from the "dragon fruit" section of the nearby fruit stand and leaped towards Chasing Wind.

Chen Qi, Zhui Feng, and Da Bing were standing together when they turned and ran.

Chen Qi glanced at the large pancake next to him with a puzzled look, thinking to himself, "Shouldn't you be fighting? Why are you running away?"
Then it was discovered that Dabing had thrown away the dog leash he was holding when he ran away.

Seriously? That's so dog-like?
Send the dogs to fight?
That little golden retriever?

The golden retriever wasn't small either, but compared to the three-meter-tall parasite, it was indeed a tiny dwarf.

Then Chen Qi saw Da Bing run away while taking out a small bone-shaped object and stuffing it into his mouth.

That looks like dog food...

Based on the size of the dog food, Chen Qi had a vague guess: this dog food must be a derivative food!

However, it's quite strange that the derivative food is actually a piece of dog food.

After Dabing finished eating the dog food, Chen Qi suddenly heard a roar from behind him.

Roar!
He felt the ground shaking and his head was buzzing.

Looking back, a large blond man was pinning Spider-Man to the ground.

At this moment, the little golden retriever was a head taller than Spider-Man, and his dark brown fur shone with golden light, making him look majestic and awe-inspiring.

Its barking also changed from the original woofing to a wild beast's roar, a low growl that chilled people to the bone and made them tremble with fear.

Chen Qi blinked, looked at the golden retriever, then at the flatbread, his mind still a little confused.

No way, you've used your superpowers on a dog? Big Pancake smirked and sneered, "A mere parasite dares to be so arrogant? Big Pancake, tear him apart!"

Upon hearing this, the golden retriever began to frantically tear at the humanoid spider.

Spider-Man, of course, was not willing to sit idly by and wait to die. He kicked wildly with his legs covered in spikes, the spikes constantly piercing into the blond man's body.

Instead of bleeding from the wounds caused by the sharp spikes, streaks of golden light emanated from them.

The golden retriever seemed oblivious to pain, relentlessly tearing at Spider-Man, ripping his body apart like a punctured ball.

However, the golden retriever did not swallow the pieces of tissue it had bitten off; it simply tossed them aside.

Chen Qi looked puzzled and nudged Zhui Feng next to him with his elbow: "I don't understand, who is the big pancake?"

"Is the 'big pancake' in our group actually a dog?"

Zhui Feng shook his head: "The 'big pancake' in the group is him, but when he chose his code name, it was the name of his own dog."

"So that golden retriever is called Big Pancake, and he's also called Big Pancake, they share the same name."

Chen Qi was a little confused. He had always thought that the reason why the pancake was called pancake was because the main food was pancake.

But now it seems that's not the case.

"What kind of foraging ability does he have? How could it be enhanced in a dog?"

Chen Qi was incredibly curious.

"Hmm..." Zhui Feng stroked his chin, "His foraging ability can be summed up in one sentence: he eats whatever dogs eat."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qi's first thought was of excrement.

But then he shook his head, saying it wasn't that bad. Dogs aren't picky, but people can be.

"That's really bizarre!"

Chen Qi had witnessed the strange and unusual abilities of the group members, which truly broadened his horizons.

Seeing that Zhui Feng still had the mind to chat with him, Chen Qi was also quite curious: "Aren't you worried about your brother being in any danger?"

At this moment, Spider-Man was almost torn to pieces by the big golden retriever. You should know that the host of that parasite was Chasing Wind's own younger brother.

“Parasitics don’t die that easily.” Zhui Feng shook his head, not worried at all.

"At this stage, we can't fight the parasites with our pitifully weak abilities. We can only rely on the power of derivative food, and it has to be derivative food with combat capabilities!"

"Even so, at most we can only defeat the parasite; we haven't found a way to kill it yet."

"Even if the parasite is torn apart, it's roughly equivalent to a human being being injured, and it will recover in ten days to half a month."

The fight between the blond-haired man and Spider-Man actually only lasted a little over ten seconds, with the blond-haired man winning by an overwhelming advantage.

Big Pancake took out his whistle, blew it, and shouted, "Well done, Big Pancake! Come back now!"

Coffee and Garlic also jogged towards Chen Qi and the others. The group gathered together and ran towards the exit of the vegetable market.

Since the parasite cannot be killed, it is best to leave as soon as possible.

Just then, the sound of sharpening knives came from somewhere.

The crowd in the market, who had been like zombies, suddenly scattered. Even though Spider-Man had been torn to pieces, they had not regained their senses.

As the crowd dispersed, one figure remained standing behind the stall, motionless.

It was a pork stall. The owner stood behind the stall, holding a cleaver in one hand and a sharpening rod in the other. As the blade slid across the sharpening rod, sparks flew out continuously.

Big Pancake's expression changed: "There's another expert?"

"Does anyone have any other derivative foods? Hurry up and bring them out!"
