A Guide to Surviving the Mysterious Dungeon and the Twelve Talismans

From this perspective, the humans parasitized by the slug monster did not die; they still possessed their own thoughts and could control their own bodies.

However, the slug monster can seize control of the body whenever it wants.

However, the slug monster only absorbs nutrients from the human body to survive, and it does not usually take over control of the human body.

"Tell me all your information honestly, or I won't hesitate to send you to hell," Zhou An said calmly.

The three of them then descended from the sky.

Then the slug monster that had parasitized the village chief returned to the village chief's body.

Perhaps because he was separated from his body, the village chief's breath became even weaker, as if he were about to die.

Immediately afterwards, the village chief began to tell Zhou An and the others the information they wanted to know.

First of all, even the slug race didn't know that the world would become like this.

They only know that this is how they were born, and they live in the Ghost Forest year after year.

Their lives were precarious, as the monsters in the Ghost Forest fed on their slug clan.

The most numerous monsters in the Ghost Forest are tree monsters. Slugs can only parasitize living organisms, but they cannot parasitize tree monsters.

Next are the rotten rats and the blood crows.

The carrion rats are the most numerous, followed by the blood crows; both feed on slugs.

Although slugs can split, they can also parasitize carrion rats and blood crows.

However, blood crows can distinguish the slugs they inhabit.

Therefore, the slug clan can only barely survive.

But on one occasion, Guang Ge, his father, and four or five other people robbed a car and escaped from the farm.

By sheer coincidence, the slug parasitized his dying father.

Finally, the slugs discovered that parasitizing humans was an excellent thing.

Humans struggle to survive outdoors because there is no food or clean water.

But as long as slugs parasitize humans, humans can eat the flesh of carrion rats and blood crows.

They can also drink contaminated blood with almost no side effects.

It seems like they really can achieve symbiosis.

Upon hearing this information, Liu He was filled with surprise: "Doesn't that mean that the slug race can coexist with the human race?"

Neither Luo Qing nor Luo Xue spoke; they both lowered their heads in deep thought.

Zhou An sneered, "Symbiosis? You can control your bodies at any time, how can that be called symbiosis?"

"Also, you say there are no side effects. Okay, then tell me, what happened to those children?"

Zhou An's gaze fell on the seven or eight children.

Every child has a tumor.

Upon closer inspection, it appears that there are quite a few gray eggs inside the tumor.

You really wouldn't notice it unless you looked closely.

"This..." The village chief choked up.

At this moment, Brother Guang stepped forward and said, "These are the cooperation terms we reached with the Slug Clan."

"The eggs of slugs need to be nurtured and incubated on a host."

"Humans are the best parasites, and these children are used as breeding grounds to incubate slugs."

"They won't die in the end. After they hatch, my dad will naturally use his abilities to help them recover."

"He'll recover in a few months at most," Guang Ge said.

“Yes, that’s right. Two years ago, I also used it as a breeding ground to raise a lot of slugs,” a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy said as he stepped forward.

Zhou An didn't speak, but coldly swept his gaze over the crowd.

These people also knew very little about the farm.

All I know is that there are many farms, and these people all came from three farms.

These are farms numbered 112, 111, and 110.

"Brother An, what do we do now?" Liu He came up to Zhou An and asked in a low voice.

Luo Qing also chimed in: "What they said should be true, but I still feel like something's not quite right."

"Sister, I can tell they're not lying, but I can't tell if the slug monster is talking," Luo Xue quickly added.

Zhou An waved his hand, then turned to the village chief and said, "I'm asking you, how long has this village existed?"

“Three years. My son and I escaped from farm number 112 three years ago, cough cough!” The village chief said, coughing twice.

"Three years? In three years, you slugs only have a hundred? I don't believe it."

"But look at the tumors on those children, there are thousands upon thousands of slug eggs."

"It's impossible that a lot of slugs won't hatch," Zhou An said calmly.

Upon hearing this, everyone trembled.

“Yes…yes, that’s right, many of them fail to hatch,” Guang Ge quickly said.

"Do you think we're all idiots?" Luo Qing said irritably.

"There must be something you haven't told us."

"I advise you to tell us all right now, or I'll have Brother An kill you all."

"Anyway, you're all monsters, so it's fine if you die. I'll kill all of you too," Luo Qing said viciously.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

"Don't you believe me? Brother An, kill one and show them." Luo Qing looked at Zhou An.

"Okay." Zhou An glanced at everyone, then his gaze fell on Brother Guang.

“You’re also a chosen one, so I’ll kill you.” As soon as Zhou An finished speaking, a heat ray shot out from his body and pierced through the other person’s chest.

The heat rays continued their trajectory and even penetrated the ground.

"You..." Guang Ge clutched his charred chest, unable to hold on any longer, and collapsed to the ground.

"Ah Guang!" The village chief was terrified when he saw this.

Then she rushed over to Guang Ge, her hands glowing green as she tried to heal him.

The next second, the village chief stood up.

"His heart was pierced, but as a chosen one, he can still breathe for a while."

“But saving him wouldn’t be worth it. I don’t have much energy left, so I can’t use it to save him,” the slug monster said slowly.

"No, this is my son, this is my body, I must save him." The village chief began to tremble all over.

Clearly, the village chief was trying to seize control of his own body.

"You want to save your son? That's fine too."

"Perfect timing, your body is about to die, so I'll parasitize your son."

"Anyway, your son hasn't been parasitized yet."

As soon as the slug finished speaking, it manipulated its body to open its mouth again.

"No...no, you can't parasitize." The village chief was shocked, but completely powerless.

They could only watch helplessly as the slug crawled out of its mouth and headed towards Brother Guang.

The next second, Zhou An reached out and pinched the slug that had flown out.

Before the slug could react, Zhou An activated the monkey talisman, turning it into a man without legs.

"Thump!" The other person fell directly to the ground.

"What...what happened to me? How did I turn into a human?" The slug leader was filled with fear.

Zhou An ignored the other party and went to the dying village chief, temporarily reviving him with a horse talisman.

The village chief was already nearing the end of his life due to old age and had experienced two parasitic escapes, leaving him practically on his deathbed.

"Now, tell me what exactly happened?" Zhou An said calmly.

"Save my son! You have healing abilities. If you save my son, I'll tell you everything you want to know." The village chief scrambled to his son's side.

He looked at Guang Ge with a face full of heartache.

This scene confirmed to Zhou An that the village chief did not have any special abilities and was not a chosen one.

The slug leader is always the one who can perform healing.

“Okay.” Zhou An nodded slightly and stepped forward, stepping directly onto Brother Guang.

After the horse talisman was activated, Guang Ge, who was on the verge of death, was instantly healed.

"What...what's wrong with me?" Guang Ge stood up, looking completely bewildered, and kept checking his chest.

His clothes were burned through, but there was no wound on his chest.

"Ah Guang, Ah Guang, you're alright? Good, that's great! You scared me to death!" The village chief looked at his son with a face full of joy.

He had a son late in life, and he cherished his son immensely.

"What did you do to me? Why did I turn into a human?" The slug leader looked at Zhou An with an excited expression.

"It's nothing, just trying to see if the slug can still parasitize you after you're turned into a human," Zhou An smiled slightly.

He then looked at Liu He's cousin: "Zhang Yun, the slug inside your body must come out right now, or I'll make you both die."

As Zhou An spoke, a blazing flame appeared in his palm.

Zhang Yun walked forward shakily: "No, don't kill me, I'll come out right now."

It's clear that the slug is now controlling Zhang Yun.

Then Zhang Yun opened his mouth, and a huge slug crawled out of it.
