Celestial being

The third day, early morning.

A white ape carried a bundle of white animal bones on its shoulders, and an animal skin bag slung across its body. It was like the wind, flying in the forest, and it jumped nearly ten feet.

Yuan Ming started to rush back according to the route he took.

Near noon, he returned to the place where he was attacked by the black bear.

Black bears are beasts with a strong sense of territory and rarely leave the place where they originally lived and reproduced. The reason why Yuan Ming came back here was because the target he wanted to hunt was the black bear.

After arriving at the place, Yuan Ming took off the bundle of green wolf bones from his body, picked out a thick tibia from it, held it tightly with both hands, and began to dig a hole under a slope.

Although Yuan Ming's strength has recovered a lot and he has basically adapted to this body, he still has no intention of fighting the black bear head-on, but plans to use a safer method like a trap.

The soil in the mountain forest was soft, and after a while, Yuan Ming dug out a pit that was more than two feet deep and no more than six feet in diameter.

He dug out many more small holes at the bottom of the pit, inserted the ribs of the green wolf upside down one by one, and compacted the soil.

The tops of those ribs inserted upside down have been sharpened by Yuan Ming, as sharp as the tip of a knife.

Then, he found a few dead branches and strangled them across the pit. He collected some dead leaves from the surroundings and carried them over, spreading them evenly on top to cover the entrance of the hole tightly.

After doing this, Yuan Ming tied a green wolf's shoulder blade to his chest with a vine, protecting his heart like a breastplate, and then picked up the two tibia bones that he had worn like short spears. , held in hand.

After waiting for a long time, Yuan Ming didn't even wait for the black bear to appear.

After thinking for a moment, he then stabbed the palm of his hand with a white bone gun.

After seeing blood coming out of his palm, Yuan Ming immediately wiped some of the blood on the trees around the trap to spread the smell of blood as much as possible.

Then, he grabbed some dirt from the ground, smeared the wound randomly, then held the bone gun and waited for the black bear to take the bait.

Yuan Ming climbed up an old tree, and not long after waiting, there was a sound of shuddering vegetation in the forest, accompanied by a heavy breathing.

He followed the sound and soon saw the black bear.

I saw a bush being rushed away by the black bear's huge body, and it rushed towards this direction with staggering steps.

"Hey, it seems to be injured?" Yuan Ming frowned slightly when he saw this.

He looked at the black bear carefully for a moment, but did not see any obvious wounds on its body. However, judging from the running state of the black bear, it was obviously strange.

"Could it be that he was poisoned?" Yuan Ming was confused.

If that's the case, it's really a God-given opportunity.

Yuan Ming was not convinced that he had such good luck, so he did not attack rashly, but just waited for the black bear to fall into the trap.

I saw the black bear coming here, sniffing the blood on the tree one by one, and suddenly raised its head and let out a furious roar. Its eyes were filled with an abnormal red color, as if covered with a layer of darkness. .

When Yuan Ming saw this, he became more and more certain that something was wrong with the black bear in front of him.

The black bear searched around and found no prey. He kept his footsteps close to the edge of the trap, but just missed it and never fell.

Yuan Ming looked anxiously at the tree. After waiting for a while, he finally decided to take action.

One of his arms was wrapped around a vine hanging from the tree, and the other hand was holding a short bone spear tightly. He jumped down from the old tree, and then was pulled by the vine and swung towards the black bear.

"Get down here."

Yuan Ming shouted loudly in his heart, and his legs rushed towards the black bear like two collisions with the goalposts.

At this moment, the black bear was also keenly aware of the danger coming from behind, and his body suddenly turned around. When he saw Yuan Ming, he became fierce and fierce, and slapped Yuan Ming with two bear paws.

There was a "bang" sound.

Yuan Ming's legs kicked on the black bear's palms, and the two powerful forces counterattacked. First, Yuan Ming was knocked backwards, and then the black bear staggered.

The black bear took a step back, and the back half of its heel had already stepped on the branch where Yuan Ming had set up the trap, but it stopped its retreat and did not fall.

On the contrary, Yuan Ming seemed to be swinging, after being knocked away, he swung back again.

The black bear watched as Yuan Ming rushed towards him again, but this time he did not pat him again. Instead, he took a step forward and grabbed his legs with two claws.

Yuan Ming couldn't do what he wanted. The short bone spear in his hand immediately gathered strength and threw it at him.

When the black bear saw the short spear coming towards his face, he immediately waved his claws to block it, but failed to stop it and let it slide past his arm.

There was a "pop" sound.

Yuan Ming's short spear pierced the black bear's eye socket, spraying a cloud of blood.

"Roar……"

The black bear felt the pain and let out a roar.

At this time, Yuan Ming had already rushed forward again, kicking hard on its chest with his legs.

Before the black bear could react from the severe pain in his eyes, he lost his balance and fell backwards.

"Click"

The sound of the trap branches breaking was heard, and the black bear smashed through the floating soil and dead leaves above, and fell down.

Immediately afterwards, there was another loud roar, but the sound became extremely shrill, like a wail.

Yuan Ming jumped to the ground and quickly went to the pit to check. He saw the black bear lying on its back inside, with the backs of its two hands and one thigh penetrated by the white bone spikes buried underneath.

There was a wound on his chest and lower abdomen, with only a little white bone tip exposed.

The black bear had blood oozing from its mouth and nose, and was still struggling violently, growling continuously.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Ming turned back to the tree and took out another bone spear, intending to end the black bear's suffering immediately.

But when he returned to the edge of the pit, he was suddenly dumbfounded.

The bottom of the pit was in a mess, with white bone spikes scattered all over the place. There were obviously bright red blood stains on them, but the black bear was nowhere to be seen.

Before Yuan Ming could figure out what was going on, a strong wind suddenly blew behind him.

Yuan Ming secretly thought, "No," and then he received a heavy blow on his lower back. His whole body seemed to have been punched hard by something, and he was thrown forward.

His figure crossed the pit and hit a tree three to four feet away on the opposite side before falling down.

Yuan Ming endured the pain, struggled to get up and turned around. Before he could clearly see the situation behind him, a black shadow flashed in front of his eyes, and a burning pain immediately spread on his cheek.

He raised his hand and wiped it, his face dripping with blood, and when he looked forward again, he couldn't help but froze.

On the tree seven or eight feet away in front of him, he saw an... an indescribable monster hanging impressively.

The reason why that thing is indescribable is because its main body is the black bear, but at this moment, green and black vines as thick as an adult's arm are growing out of the wounds on its body.

Among them, the two that grow from its chest are the thickest, and one extends to the branch above, lifting the black bear's body up in the air.

What's even more weird is that on the black bear's left eye that was pierced by Yuan Ming, there is now a fleshy six-petal red lotus, with dense white stamens growing in the center, which is wriggling crazily, like Circles of white, fine teeth can send a chill down one's spine.

"What the hell is this?" Yuan Ming couldn't help but swallowed.

Judging from the strange state of the black bear at the moment, it seems to be parasitized by something.

At this moment, the monster moved again, and the vines extending from the black bear's body swung in the air again and hit Yuan Ming.

Yuan Ming quickly bent over and rolled forward, trying to avoid it.

But the vine changed its direction in mid-air as if it had eyes, and still hit his back, directly tearing a hot bloody mark.

Yuan Ming reluctantly stood up and planned to escape first.

If he faced that black bear, he would still know the basics and have the confidence to fight, but he didn't understand the weird thing in front of him at all. He didn't even know how to kill it. How could he fight it?

Seeing him turn around and run away, the parasitic monster didn't intend to let him go. Two vines shot out from the left and right, attacking him at the same time.

Yuan Ming hurriedly dodged, but his speed was not enough. As soon as he dodged the one on the left, his right leg was entangled by another vine, pulling him to the ground and being dragged back.

He turned over, keeping facing the monster, and when he was about to attack with a short spear, a vine had already wrapped around him again, tying him into a rice dumpling.

At this moment, Yuan Ming didn't even have the chance to fight back.

In this way, he was pulled by the vine and came to the front of the "black bear".

When he arrived, Yuan Ming was surprised to find that the black bear was not dead yet. Its other blood-red eye was still rolling, its mouth opened and closed, and it made a heavy breathing sound.

Yuan Ming rolled his eyes and immediately seemed to think of something.

Since this thing is a parasite, as long as it completely kills the living creature it is parasitizing, it is equivalent to cutting off its vitality. As long as the black bear is completely killed, it will not survive.

Unfortunately, it's too late now.

I saw a hole suddenly split open in the chest of the black bear. The ribs inside seemed like two rows of intertwined bone claws, splitting to both sides, revealing a bright red heart, which was still beating "thump, thump" .

Yuan Ming saw at a glance that there was something like a black sarcoma growing on the heart, with several black filaments extending from it, piercing into various parts of the heart, as if sucking the blood inside to support himself.

Just when Yuan Ming thought he was going to be eaten, the vines that bound him suddenly loosened in circles, exposing his chest.

Yuan Ming suddenly understood that the black bear's body was severely damaged. Only by changing to a new host could this thing continue to survive. It did not want to eat itself, but wanted to parasitize him as a new host.
