Deep in the Living

Chapter 576: Licking


Smack!

The sound of the tongue falling to the ground was amplified a hundredfold compared to normal, drawing the attention of the two who were about to make the final reap.

It was so loud it made their eardrums uncomfortable.

This noise was clearly an anomaly, but it might just be a delaying tactic by Luo Di.

However, they had no intention of delving into it.

The supermarket had already been completely engulfed by the domain of the Carnivorous Family, and Luo Di's core spine had been severed by an ambush from the Clown, while the city had long been shrouded in mist.

Everything was set up,

all for reeling in this big fish, Luo Di,

the Clown even prepared to reel in Yu Ze or Lebeite too, but unfortunately, only Luo Di came here.

Since the big fish had been caught, there was no need to think much, just quickly divide the spoils.

Joker pressed his large white belly against Luo Di's back,

his chin lightly resting on Luo Di's shoulder,

the mist-covered face slightly revealing the lower part, showing a blood-red sinister smile.

Oddly, the smile remained unchanged, with no tongue movements, yet a sharp strange voice emerged.

"Brother Hunter, you're a bit too much! It was clearly me who got the most precious corpse in the videotape, yet your display is scarier than mine.

Seems like what you got in the videotape is in no way inferior to ours, and it matches quite well. You've even developed Divinity, looking like you're going to surpass the limits of the Eight Evil People and entering the top tier."

But Hunter showed no good expression, and during the battle with Luo Di, he was repeatedly injured, especially a frontal slash that reached the core, he needed to find a place to eat and recuperate well after the matter.

"Cut the crap, hurry and deal with it..."

The Clown curled his tongue into an OK sign in his mouth, "I need to bring back this guy's head to report, the rest is yours.

Let's search him together! Hope it's not in the lower body, because you already chewed it to bits, hahaha~"

The Clown's hand, both virtual and real, entered between the mist and the entity, directly plunging into the back of Luo Di's head.

Attempting to penetrate the brain to touch the pituitary gland inside.

Something strange happened, the tactile feedback was quite weird, not quite like touching the surface of the brain, but rather touching a softer and more moist structure.

There was also a hint of a soft backward spike structure felt.

The same was true on Hunter's side.

He tore open Luo Di's chest to touch the insides, wanting to taste in advance, but to his surprise, the tactile was also that of a soft moist feeling... and as a gourmand, he knew very well what he was touching compared to the Clown.

The two exchanged a glance and acted simultaneously,

the Clown using a dagger to cut open Luo Di's skull,

Hunter used his hands to open Luo Di's chest cavity,

what was revealed to them was not the structure a human body should have,

inside Luo Di, whether it was the brain or internal organs, or the bones within, all were replaced by strange writhing tongues.

Some long, some short,

some thick, some thin,

covered in backward spikes,

secreting saliva,

entwining mutually,

more than that,

since they had just reached out and touched it, their fingertips touched the saliva; their own fingers began turning into tongue-like forms! Moreover, this anomaly crazily spread, covering the whole body.

"Joke! Illusion Technique... quickly dispel it!"

Hunter gnawed at himself wildly, but the number of tongues only increased.

The Clown inhaled deeply, letting the city's mist quickly surge towards the supermarket... under the mist's effects, the supermarket underwent fundamental changes.

The supermarket's walls turned into rubber,

overall rapidly swelling like a balloon due to the infusion of mist.

Boom!

The giant supermarket balloon exploded and scattered,

the tongues on both of them also disappeared along with it, but their expressions were uncomfortable, especially Hunter; he immediately started vomiting.

He vomited masses of tongues and everything he'd eaten within the last three days.

Joker's state was slightly better, but he still needed to put his arm into his mouth, to clean out all the tongues sticking inside.

At the same time,

as one of the Eight Evil People, Hunter remembered something, remembered a fringe piece of information inadvertently obtained during a gluttonous period in a Corner area from someone's memory of food.

During that time, a tongue-related monster randomly touched around the Middle Layer, whether humans or monsters, once touched, it would disappear directly, leaving no clues behind.

It appeared for a while, took away about a hundred monsters and then disappeared.

"Tongue, monster... wait! Where's Luo Di!"

Luo Di, who had been hanging in front of them, the qualified bearer, was already nowhere to be found.

However, Hunter had left many chewing wounds on Luo Di's body, wounds that could be turned into food marks.

The sensing quickly released, gaining the specific location.

"Over here! Luo Di is escaping at medium speed, he's injured to that degree, can't escape, Joker! Follow me."

Just as Hunter was about to chase, he found that the Joker behind him was in a state of full-body tension, even using his fat belly to press tightly against Hunter's back.

"Ahahaha~ Something indeed has its eyes on us, Luo Di had something dirty inside him."

Under Joker's reminder, Hunter shifted his attention to the environment around them,

they stood amidst the demolished supermarket ruins, surrounded by city streets veiled in mist.

In one direction behind, there seemed to be something standing behind a utility pole.

Hunter quickly focused, releasing his gustatory sense, soon sketching the mysterious figure's form in his mind.

Human body, tongue head,

The opponent's entire skull was broken, only retaining some jaw structure, and from the throat emerged a large tongue, grotesquely waving.

As Hunter saw it clearly,

his thoughts also produced a tactile sensation, like his brain being licked by the tongue. As a gourmand, he always tasted others, but this time someone else tasted his brain.

Immediately,

A voice transmitted through the tongue contact, as if from afar, like music seeping through a crack:

"You obviously have great potential, yet you chose to collude with betrayers... damn it!"

"Damn!"

Hunter wanted to swallow his own brain for self-preservation but was a step too late.

Instantly,

Hunter's eye sockets, nostrils, mouth, ears began pushing out tongues, not only those, but he also started losing hair rapidly, as even hair follicles frantically sprouted fine, hair-like tongues.

Smack!

His whole body heavily fell to the ground, incessantly licked by the tongues growing from within, licking away skin, bones, internal organs, finally turning into a pool of saliva.

At the same moment,

inside the separate restaurant, the elderly woman Hunter left there in advance abruptly opened her eyes.

Then, she opened her mouth wide, vomiting out a new version of Hunter, a little boy, and a middle-aged woman.

No time to think,

Hunter immediately tore open a spatial passage, evacuating with the family! Living was much more important than qualifications, and his mindset changed somewhat too.

...

[Supermarket Ruins]

Though Clown Joker reminded Hunter someone was around, he himself didn't turn to observe that mysterious figure.

After Hunter's body was completely emptied by tongues.

The tongue-headed figure slowly approached, but upon reaching Joker, found it was just a balloon mannequin standing there.

The mist over the abandoned city also slowly thinned, gradually receding.

"Using a friend as bait, to buy time to escape... so disgusting, so vile, no wonder they chose to betray the Corner.

The Corner's selection system has serious issues, making it easy for such parasites to emerge! Damn it, damn filthy dogs!

My time of activity must be used to complete detachment~ I must hurry to get out and kill those filthy parasites."

With anger and reluctance,

a certain inviolable rule emerged, the tongue body rapidly dissipating, finally leaving only a dried-up tongue without any saliva.
