Chapter 31, Hunting the Symbiote, Little Spider

The pedestrian street is bathed in neon lights.

A decaying human body fell onto the paving stones, causing onlookers to scream and scatter in all directions!

call out!

A black shadow flashed by, and Xi landed nimbly beside the mangled body. His vertical pupils seemed to burn with bluish-white flames, and his body, covered in dark skin, revealed streamlined muscles.

Venom rasped in my mind, "It has parasitized another human nearby. Clearly, it is far more powerful than the first symbiote, capable of choosing almost any human as its symbiote host!"

Which human being?

The black kitten, like a savage and terrifying predator, coldly surveyed the fleeing passersby with its cat-like eyes. Among these passersby, none appeared to be obviously infested by the symbiote. He quickly realized that the second symbiote was trying to take advantage of the chaos to escape.

"Where is the symbiote?" hope Nian asked impatiently, a grin spreading across his face.

The instincts and bestiality of the symbiote and the Flerken intertwine and run rampant, pushing human rationality to the brink of collapse. Violence, savagery, indifference and other inhuman evils invade the mind and body, which also leads to Xinian's increasingly unrestrained and crazy behavior!

Just like now.

Xi Nian tore and strangled the human host, who was being parasitized by the symbiote. Even though he knew the human was beyond saving and that further delay would only result in the human killing more innocent people on the road, and that his actions were indeed the best solution at the time, this bloodthirsty and brutal behavior, carried out without hesitation, was far removed from his normal thoughts as a human being!

Venom said, "I can only sense people within 30 meters, but there are just too many humans nearby, over a hundred. I can't determine which human has been parasitized!"

Its voice grew even hoarser and sharper, like a demon whispering a suggestion: "I think the best solution right now is to kill everyone here. Otherwise, if they escape, even more people will die!"

"Don't hesitate! Make a choice quickly, or the other party will try to escape by blending into the crowd..."

"Shut up!" hope Nian growled hoarsely, watching the humans fleeing in all directions, and suddenly plunged one of his claws into the ground!

laugh--

As the ground trembled violently along the entire pedestrian street, dozens of terrifying cracks spread across the flat surface, centered on Xinian, who resembled a black cat. Then, with a radius of thirty meters, hard tentacles made of black slime burst forth from the earth, piercing straight upwards into the city's night sky ten meters above!

Dozens of hard tentacles formed a dense barbed barrier, trapping everyone within a 30-meter radius inside!

Dead!

The scene was deathly silent!

Countless people looked up in horror, gripped by immense fear. They also recalled the humiliation of being imprisoned in a birdcage—cough cough, wrong scene!

"Find it for me!" hope Nian kept one claw stuck in the ground, his body motionless, while the other claw transformed into a tentacle and reached out to the surrounding people.

"Monster, don't come any closer!" Many people screamed and fell to the ground.

But they soon discovered that the tentacles reaching out were soft and fluffy, as if they had ordinary cat paw pads. The tentacles only touched the shoulders or chests before quickly moving away and contacting the people surrounded by the tentacles one by one.

Xinian is using touch to find the second human host that the symbiote is parasitizing.

After all, symbiotes can parasitize silently, and often even the host is unaware that they have been parasitized when there is no conscious control.

After hope Nian had checked more than half of the people, a middle-aged man standing at the back of the crowd frowned slightly and touched his chest inexplicably.

For some reason, large beads of cold sweat kept appearing on his body, soaking his inner lining and making it feel chilly.

Mingming's fear had largely subsided after she learned that the tentacles wouldn't hurt anyone.

……

I'm so scared, so terrified!

The second symbiote, lurking and parasitizing the middle-aged man, learns through the man's shared perspective that the venom's host is about to investigate it, and involuntarily trembles with horror!

Before that, it was unable to sense the first symbiote, yet it knew that the symbiote had already been killed.

After being discovered by Xinian, it kept switching between parasitic hosts to escape, and in the process of escaping, it increasingly realized the power of the venom host!

The difference is too big!

These symbiotic organisms struggle to survive even the most basic survival challenges when existing alone. However, after parasitizing a suitable organism, they can unleash a range of abilities, including body hardening, transformation, super strength, and super speed. These abilities are in turn closely related to the constitution of the host organism!

After rotating through so many human hosts, the second symbiote discovered that its performance was far inferior to that of the Venom host!

How could it know?

hope Nian's current state is not merely the application of the Venom Parasitic ability. Rather, it combines the effects of being parasitized by the Venom with a symbiotic relationship with the Flerken.

The effect is not as simple as one plus one.

"Symbiote boss, it's impossible for it to come and save me. I'm going to die, I'm going to die here!" The second symbiote was restless and anxious inside the middle-aged man's body. Xi Nian's tentacles had already screened the area not far in front of him and were about to find the host it was currently parasitizing!

What to do? What to do? What to do?

Death is imminent!

The second symbiote was filled with despair, but just then, it seemed to sense something.

The middle-aged man who was being parasitized turned his head and looked inexplicably at the two people in the crowd.

The woman was in her early thirties, holding the hand of a boy who looked to be about ten years old. Although she was terrified, she still whispered to the child, "Peter, it's okay, don't worry. Aunt May is here, she'll protect you."

Peter nodded, looking at the terrifying black kitten with some fear, then mustered his courage and stood in front of Aunt May. Suddenly, his hair stood on end, and he glanced sideways, meeting the middle-aged man's empty gaze.

As if stared at from an abyss of evil, Peter turned pale with fright, instinctively pointing a finger and blurting out, "The monster the black kitten is looking for... is him!"

“Peter, what are you saying?” Aunt May was stunned.

"What are you talking about? I'm not a monster!" The middle-aged man also found it somewhat unbelievable and couldn't help but retort. But suddenly, he opened his eyes wide in horror as a glob of grayish-green viscous liquid gushed out of his open mouth!

Half of the liquid was still inside the man's body, while the other half was suspended in the air, wriggling as if it had life-like characteristics!

The bizarre and unbelievable scene stunned everyone around, leaving them frozen in place.

"Found you!" The three-in-one Xinian was incredibly decisive in its killing. The moment the second symbiote was exposed, its extended tentacles immediately transformed into sharp spikes, hardened, and thrust forward to snipe and kill.

Piercing through the air, the tentacle pierced through the gray-green symbiote's body like a nail, pinning it to the tentacle railing behind it!

"Zizi!"

The second symbiote surged and boiled violently, abruptly separating from the nailed part. The other part of its liquid body, like a water gun or a gray-green net, rushed towards the woman not far to the side.

"Aunt Mei, watch out!"

Peter spread his arms in front of Aunt May, and the grayish-green liquid seeped into his body very smoothly!

Chapter 32, Poisonous Spider, Tyranny

"Ahhhh!!!"

The child's painful cries echoed through the New York City night sky, carrying far and wide.

The moment his body was parasitized by the symbiote, the boy covered his head with both hands, his eyes were covered with a gray-green color, and he knelt on the ground in extreme pain.

"Get away from him!"

Someone shouted in terror, and people immediately retreated in panic. Centered on the boy possessed by the strange monster, everyone except Aunt May retreated more than ten meters away.

"Peter, are you alright? Don't scare Aunt May..."

In the now empty space, Aunt Mei was both frightened and worried. She reached out to help the kneeling boy up, but she was too weak to move the young body.

The boy, kneeling on the ground with his head down so his face was obscured and his hands braced on the ground, was becoming increasingly weak in his cries of pain and struggles, and was gradually becoming inexplicably calm.

This tranquility, however, sent chills down the spines of those nearby!

Twenty meters away.

"A new boy was chosen as the new host?"

Seeing the second symbiote's almost desperate choice, the three-in-one Xinian felt a little surprised, but did not stop his decisive and indifferent offensive.

Boo!

Sharp, hardened, dark tentacles pierced the air, aiming at Peter, the boy parasitized by the second symbiote.

At that moment, Venom's voice echoed in his mind: "Something's not right. I can vaguely sense that the human child's physique is different from that of an ordinary human!"

As if responding to the words of the symbiote Venom, just before the tentacle spikes were about to strike, the boy raised one of his small hands with lightning speed and firmly grabbed the high-speed sniping tentacle!

The tip of the dark, hardened tentacle stopped abruptly, about one centimeter in front of Peter's chest.

"Hehehe!!"

A hoarse, slightly shrill voice rang out, and the boy gripping the tentacles let out a grotesque, inhuman laugh. A viscous, grayish-green liquid began to seep from his body, rapidly expanding, twisting, deforming, and hardening… shaping a more complete and resilient grayish-green proliferative body and skin!

The whole scene looked as if Peter's body had become deformed into an adult, turning into a nearly two-meter-tall gray-green alien monster.

Grayish-green, tall, and exuding power that can be seen simply from his muscular build...

This once reminded Xinian of his hatred.

However, it is quite different from the appearance of the abhorrent creature.

The current form of the second symbiote parasitizing boy is that his body is lithe and not bulky, and his arms and legs have a tough and slender feel. In particular, there are pale white venomous spider patterns on his chest and back.

"I never imagined that humans could have such a powerful physique!!" Looking down at the gray-green hand that he had just clenched, the poisonous spider grinned menacingly, its long, scarlet tongue lolling out from its mouth, and a burst of heat emanated from its strong, deformed body.

After parasitizing the human child Peter, the symbiote's abilities were displayed to their fullest extent for the first time!

It felt more powerful than ever before!

And indeed, that has proven to be true.

The venomous spider had only tested the waters briefly before easily deflecting the tentacle attack launched by the venom host! That was a terrifying attack that it would have been completely unable to withstand before!

This made it feel even more confident that it was in the game!

It worked again!!

"With this body as my host, I am the true boss among the symbiotes!" The venomous spider was extremely excited, licking its sharp and ugly fangs.

"Peter, Peter."

A woman's pitiful, trembling voice came from the side.

“You’re not Peter.” Aunt May looked at the poisonous spider nearby, forcing herself not to back away from the danger, and sobbed, “Monster, give Peter back to me.”

"Heh heh! I'll kill you first, then wipe out the venom and all the hosts it parasitizes!" The venomous spider sneered menacingly, raising its gray-green hand and slamming it down on the woman's weeping face.

Just then, a hoarse, cold voice suddenly rang out from ahead: "Have you caught enough?"

"Um?!"

Before the poisonous spider's hand could fully strike, it was startled to find that the antennae it had been gripping had suddenly snapped shut on its hand.
