Chapter 119: Dog-Man, Bug-Man
The moment he saw the big bag, Richemont immediately understood why the dog had such a high IQ. It was obviously because it had been implanted with a human brain.
But why was it in this insect nest, and why did it save him? In his impression, those highly intelligent mutant beasts had no good face towards humans, but seeing that Er Gouzi looked harmless, it didn't seem like he had any conspiracy. Li Feng was even more confused.
The dog obviously saw what Li Feng was thinking from his expression. He threw away his cigarette, smacked his lips, and said with a lingering feeling: "You may be wondering, why did I, the dog master, save a human like you? Do you want to eat human flesh hot pot? Or is it that you are handsome and suitable for me to vent my emotions? Foolish human, I can tell you clearly that it is not the case!"
As Er Gouzi spoke, he stretched out a claw and waved it in front of Li Feng, then said with a smug look on his face: "To tell you the truth, I have been observing you for a long time. You dare to fight the insect swarm alone. Not bad, you have guts! It suits my taste! I saved you purely to relieve my boredom."
Hearing this, Li Feng frowned and asked, "Are you Iron Lion's subordinate?" As far as he knew, the beasts nearby seemed to be only Iron Lion's subordinates. Could it be that the dog was lurking in the beasts, or around the battlefield, observing the battle? At this time, he no longer regarded the dog as an ordinary dog, but as a human being! In terms of wisdom, he might even surpass ordinary humans.
"Bah! That guy Tieshi is not even worthy of carrying shoes for Second Master! I, Second Master, was watching the fight on the spot at that time, but you just didn't see it." Er Gouzi spat out a mouthful of saliva, stuck out his tongue and said with disdain. In an instant, a majestic look appeared on his dog face, and he looked like a king who looked down on the world.
Hearing this, Li Feng couldn't help but laugh, bowed to the dog and said, "Thank you for saving my life, I will repay you someday. Let's say goodbye now." Then he turned and walked towards the wall next to him, ready to leave.
Seeing that Li Feng was actually turning around and preparing to leave, Er Gouzi couldn't help but get anxious. He flicked his four paws and blocked Li Feng's way, saying, "Where are you going ?" His dog face was now full of anxiety, panic, alertness, and even a little pleading, which looked very strange. Obviously, he didn't want Li Feng to leave.
Li Feng smiled and said, "Brother, if you need me to do anything, just tell me. I will do it if I can." He didn't believe that this highly intelligent mutant dog would save him for no reason. The other party must have some purpose.
Er Gouzi narrowed his eyes, and the expression on his face instantly changed to a sophisticated and experienced look. He lit another cigarette, stared at Li Feng and said slowly: "Foolish... No, cunning human beings, you have been blinded by material things and interests. Don't you believe that there is kindness in this world for no reason?"
"But..." His eyes flashed with a cunning light, and then he said: "Since you ask to repay me, I have no choice but to agree. Take me away, away from here, and into human society."
Li Feng stared at the dog's eyes expressionlessly. He didn't know why the dog would make such a request, to enter human society? What did he want to do? Even if the dog had human-level intelligence, it was still a mutant beast...
Seeing the doubt in Lifeng's eyes, Er Gouzi snorted coldly and said, "Why, are you still afraid that I will harm you humans? You can rest assured. Although I am not a pure human, I am a brand new 'dog man' and I have no ill will towards you humans..."
Hearing the other party call himself a "dog man", Li Feng couldn't help but twitch his mouth and laughed.
Unexpectedly, Er Gouzi was not angry at all. Instead, he said calmly, "Yes, you heard me right. I am a dog-man, or a canine-man. Neither human nor dog, a completely new species. What do you think we should call it? What's more, you yourself are not an insect-man? No, maybe it would be more appropriate to call you a corpse-insect-man..."
Er Gouzi's words sounded funny at first, but when you think about it carefully, they make a lot of sense. As he spoke word by word, the expression on Li Feng's face gradually became solemn. But when he finished the last two sentences, Li Feng's face changed color and he shouted sternly: "What did you say!?" At the same time, he reached out and grabbed the other person's neck like lightning and lifted the dog man up.
His strength had actually recovered by more than half! This action also allowed Li Feng to instantly discover his physical condition.
But compared to what the other party said, these were nothing. He was now eager to know what the other party meant. Or rather, he had already discovered the changes in his body, and a terrible idea was circling in his mind, but he just didn't have the courage to face it directly.
Li Feng's hand that was holding the man's throat was even trembling a little at this moment...
Unexpectedly, Er Gouzi remained calm, blowing another puff of cigarette at Li Feng, and said calmly, "Actually, this is not hard to accept. Your genes have been contaminated by the viruses carried by the Zerg and zombies, and your body's tissue structure has also undergone tremendous changes during this period. You are no longer a human body. Do you dare to say that you will not have the urge to eat when you think of humans now? Look at your ribs."
Li Feng immediately let go of Er Gouzi, and touched his ribs at the same time, and immediately found that there were four pairs of insect legs growing here! These four pairs of legs were not very hard because they had just grown out, but they were already as long as forearms! Because the light in here was too dim, and he was always attracted by Er Gouzi, he didn't notice these extra things.
When he wanted to control these four pairs of legs, these things immediately moved around and looked like they were alive!
"Ah——" Li Feng roared, his eyes red, the muscles on his arms swelled instantly, and he grabbed the four pairs of legs and pulled them off with force! Then he threw them to the ground.
After the eight limbs were thrown to the ground, they were still twitching due to the residual nerve signals, and they looked like the legs of a shrimp.
Eight circular wounds appeared where the legs were broken, and they were closing up quickly. After a while, no trace of them could be seen. But Li Feng knew that if he wanted them to grow again, he only needed to send a signal to the eight nodes, and new legs would grow out in a short time!
However, Er Gouzi didn't seem to want to let Li Feng go, and continued, "This is nothing. You haven't seen what it looks like after it becomes giant, right? Tsk tsk, that's really... Besides, your heart should have been broken a long time ago, why are you still standing? But there's nothing hard to accept. In fact, you mutants have long been out of the category of human beings."
Hearing this, Li Feng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and raised his hand to touch his heart.
He felt a cold sensation, cold and calm. The expected heartbeat did not come. At the same time, he could still feel the blood in his body being transported to all parts of his body through something inside, like a calm stream.
"What's inside now?" Li Feng calmed down. Just as the dog man Er Gouzi said, as long as he was alive, it was fine. The identity of a human being was not just given by this body.
"If I'm guessing correctly, it should be a 'core' similar to the heart. Tsk tsk, based on my observations over the past few days, this insect nest may have wanted to train you into a bug-man, so it keeps supplying you with various substances. I just don't know why they gave up this plan in the end, and instead prepared to remove your brain, clean it, and put it into the head of the big spider. But your body already has many characteristics and auras of the Zerg. Otherwise, why do you think those bugs didn't attack you after we stayed here for so long?" As he said that, Er Gouzi pointed to the side, and Li Feng realized that in the darkness around them, many huge Zergs were lurking, and they seemed to be hibernating!
He closed his eyes again, feeling the gradually surging power in his body, and the changes that were different from before. Lifeng took a deep breath and opened his eyes. He looked at the "dog-man" in front of him who was more shrewd and sophisticated than humans, and said, "Then, should we have a frank talk? Where did you come from?"
