Deep in the Living

Chapter 579 Licking
Snapped!
The sound of the tongue hitting the ground was a hundred times louder than normal, so loud that it attracted the attention of the two people who were preparing for the final harvest.

The vibrations even made their eardrums feel a little uncomfortable.

The sound was clearly abnormal, but it could also be a delaying tactic by Roddy.

However, they did not intend to investigate further.

The supermarket is now completely covered by the territory of the Carnivore's House, Roddy's core spine was completely severed by the Joker's sneak attack, and the city was shrouded in mist long ago.

Everything is arranged.

All of it was used to catch the big fish, Roddy.

Even the Joker was prepared to help rescue Yu Ze or Li Beite, but unfortunately only Roddy came here.

Now that the big fish has been caught, there's no need to think too much; we just need to quickly divide the spoils.

Jock pressed his large white belly against Roddy's back.

Her chin rested gently on Roddy's shoulder.

The lower half of the face, shrouded in mist, was slightly revealed, exposing a chilling, bright red smile.

Strangely, the smile remained unchanged, there was no tongue movement, but a bizarre, shrill sound came out.

"Brother Hunter, you're exaggerating a bit! I was the one who got the most valuable remains from the videotape, but your presentation is even more terrifying than mine."

It seems what you got from the videotape is no less impressive than ours, and the match is even more accurate. You've even managed to pull off divinity; your level seems to be surpassing the limits of the Eight Evils, almost reaching the top tier.

Hunter, however, was not very perceptive, and he had been injured repeatedly in his fight with Roddy, especially after being slashed head-on, which had reached his core. After the incident, he needed to find a place to have a good meal and recuperate.

"Stop talking nonsense and get on with it..."

The clown used his tongue to form an "OK" shape. "I'm taking this guy's head back to report. The rest is yours."

Let's search his body together! Hopefully not his lower body, because you've already chewed him up, hahaha~"

The clown's hand, both real and illusory, slipped between the mist and the physical world, piercing directly into the back of Roddy's head.

They attempted to penetrate the brain to reach the pituitary gland.

Something strange happened; the tactile feedback from my fingers was quite peculiar. It didn't feel like touching the surface of my brain, but rather like touching a softer, wetter structure.

I could also vaguely feel a soft, barbed structure.

The same applies to Hunter.

He tore open Roddy's chest to touch his internal organs, wanting to taste them beforehand, but the sensation was also that soft, moist feeling... Moreover, as a diner, he knew exactly what he was touching better than the Joker.

The two exchanged a glance and attacked simultaneously.
The clown used a dagger to cut open Roddy's skull.
Hunter used both hands to open Roddy's chest cavity.
What was presented to them was not the proper structure of the human body.
Inside Roddy's body, everything—brain, internal organs, and even bones—was replaced with bizarre, writhing tongues.

Some are long, some are short.

Some are coarse, some are fine.

Covered in barbs

Saliva secretion

Intertwined

Not only that,

Because they had just touched something and come into contact with saliva, their fingers had turned into tongues! And this abnormality was spreading rapidly throughout their entire bodies.

"Jock! Illusion... break it right now!"

Hunter frantically devoured himself, but the number of tongues only increased.

The clown then inhaled, causing the city's fog to rush rapidly towards the supermarket... Under the influence of the fog, the supermarket underwent a fundamental change.

The supermarket walls were made of rubber.
The whole thing expanded rapidly like a balloon due to the influx of mist.

Boom!

The giant supermarket balloon exploded and dispersed.
The tongues on their bodies also disappeared, but they didn't look well, especially Hunter, who immediately started vomiting.

A large amount of tongue and everything that had been eaten within the last three days were vomited up.

Although Jock was in slightly better condition, he still needed to put his arm into his mouth to clean out all the tongue stuck inside his body.

At the same time as he vomited, Hunter, one of the Eight Evils, remembered something—he recalled the peripheral information he had accidentally obtained from a food memory while he was feasting in the corner.

During that time, a tongue-related monster randomly appeared in the middle layer of the area. Whether it was a human or a monster, once it was touched, it would disappear immediately without leaving any clues.

They disappeared after a period of time, having taken away about a hundred monsters.

"Tongue, monster...wait! Where's Roddy?!"

Luo Di, the holder of the qualification who had been hanging in front of them, had long since disappeared.

However, Hunter left many gnawing marks on Roddy's body, and these marks could be turned into food markers.

The sensor quickly releases its signal to obtain the specific location.

“Over here! Roddy is fleeing at a moderate speed. He’s too badly injured to escape. Jock! Come with me.”

Just as Hunter was about to give chase, he discovered that Jock was in a state of complete tension behind him, even pressing his large belly against Hunter's back.

"Hahaha~ We were indeed being targeted by something. There's something dirty inside Roddy."

At Jock's prompting, Hunter shifted his attention to his surroundings.

They stood on the ruins of the bombed-out supermarket, surrounded by city streets shrouded in mist.

In one direction behind us, there seems to be something standing behind a telephone pole.

Hunter quickly focused his attention and activated his sense of taste, soon sketching the form of the mysterious entity in his mind.

Human body and tongue

The other party's entire head was shattered, with only a few remnants of the jaw structure remaining, and a thick tongue protruding from the throat, swaying strangely.

When Hunter saw it clearly
His mind also experienced a tactile sensation, as if his brain was being licked by a tongue. As a diner, he had always been the one to taste others, but this time, his brain was being tasted by others.

follow closely,

A sound came through the contact of the tongues, a sound that seemed to come from a very far place, like a soft, seductive melody seeping through a crack:

"You clearly have remarkable potential, yet you chose to collude with traitors... You deserve to die!"

"Oops!"

Hunter tried to swallow his own brain to save himself, but he was too late.

in an instant,
Hunter's eyes, nostrils, mouth, and ears all started sticking out tongues. Not only that, he also started losing his hair rapidly, and even his hair follicles were frantically pushing out thin, hair-like tongues.

Snapped!
He fell heavily to the ground, where he was licked relentlessly by a tongue that grew out of his body. The tongue licked away his skin, bones, and internal organs, until he was reduced to a pool of saliva.

At the same moment,

Inside that independent restaurant, the old woman, whom Hunter had left there beforehand, suddenly opened her eyes.

Then, she opened her mouth wide and spat out the brand-new Hunter, the little boy, and the middle-aged woman.

There was no time to think.
Hunter immediately tore a passage through the air and led his family away! Survival was far more important than status, and his mindset underwent a certain change.

……

Supermarket ruins

Although Joker warned Hunter that there were people around, he himself did not turn around or observe the mysterious presence.

After Hunter's body was licked clean by the tongue.

The tongue-like figure behind the telephone pole slowly approached, but when it reached the clown and prepared to lick him, it discovered that the person standing there was just a balloon dummy.

The fog between the abandoned cities gradually thinned and faded away.

Using friends as bait to buy time to escape... How disgusting, how despicable, no wonder they chose to abandon the corner.

The screening mechanism in the corner has serious problems, which makes it easy for these human colonies to appear! They're damned, damned bastards!
My time for action has come again... I must seize this opportunity to escape! I must get out here as soon as possible and kill these damned colonists.

Anger and resentment

An inviolable rule struck, and the tongue's body rapidly dissipated, leaving only a withered tongue lying on the ground, devoid of any saliva.
