Chapter 60 Mouth vs. Hand
Big Mouth is not just a glutton.
Although it looks useless on weekdays, and has to rely on Anti to cover up when it looks for food, and always asks Anti to break some for it, it is rewarding. It can transform everything it eats into its own strength.
A part of the power is fed back to Anti, helping him to strengthen a little. The strengthening point is also very random, sometimes it is physical strength, sometimes it is sensory ability. Or it can make Anti's mind a little clearer, and then make some senses more acute.
Judging from the extent of the enhancement, Anti estimated that the part he used on himself was pitifully small.
And more of it is accumulated, which can achieve a series of exaggerated changes at critical moments.
It is obvious that the efficiency of strengthening Anti is far less than the efficiency of strengthening Big Mouth itself.
But this is not a problem, and it is not needed in normal times. Being able to fight the crucial battle is success.
The bloody mouth opened in the eroded wound, saliva mixed with Anti's blood dripped to the feet, and the tentacles danced wildly.
The many-armed monster was pierced by the big mouth's tongue. After twitching and struggling for a while, it broke free from the tentacles in a flash.
"Hungry... woo... ran away..."
"It's okay, I can always get it. You just felt it, it's not 'teleportation'." Anti said calmly while putting the lantern on his waist.
"Hungry...eat..." It doesn't seem to matter, this is the response from Big Mouth.
The multi-armed monster suddenly left Anti's five-meter range and hid in the darkness, but Anti could still hear the sound of blood dripping from its wounds.
According to Big Mouth's feedback, it did not disappear directly from Big Mouth's tongue, but broke free at an "extremely fast speed".
That's not teleportation, but super-high-speed movement in a short period of time. However, this method of movement seems to have other weirdness, but it's okay to understand it this way for now.
Also, the opponent probably couldn't move and attack at the same time, otherwise Anti would have been chopped into pieces in minutes, and Anti wouldn't even be able to catch its movements.
Because of the thorns that grew on its tongue, the monster's wound was further enlarged when it struggled to break free, and blood gushed out. Even if Anti was not professional, he could still hear the approximate location of the other party, not to mention that there were no other monsters around to interfere.
"Huh? What? You ate its meat? Can you temporarily copy some of its power?" Anti originally planned to rely on his big mouth and powerful tongue to launch a defensive counterattack. The opponent was so injured but still lingered around with no intention of running away, and was very aggressive.
But I didn't expect that Big Mouth would bring another surprise.
"Hungry...eat more..."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I don't even have your instruction manual."
"Hmm...hungry..."
Anti chatted with Big Mouth on his own and seemed to not care about the movements of the multi-armed monster.
galla...
Suddenly, the sound of blood dripping in my ears stopped, and then the monster's iconic noise came.
The big mouth's tongue quickly wrapped around Anti, and then the tongue protection net on Anti's left rear was cut.
Anti quickly turned around and hit the monster with a hammer, and the other tongues in the big mouth followed suit and attacked the monster.
After the monster's attack was blocked, it quickly disappeared from the spot.
"Go." Anti took a step forward.
His mouth opened wide, and suddenly a black pattern of "a lotus in the empty palm" condensed in his mouth.
Bang!
After the same crisp sound, Anti also chased after the monster almost as if teleporting. The monster turned its head in surprise, and then saw Anti passed by it and hit a wall not far away.
Many-armed demon form: ...
Anti turned his head, leaning against the wall, and shook his dizzy head.
"It seems we still need to practice cooperation." said Anti.
"Hungry……"
But Anti has more or less experienced the special movement mode just now. It is not just a simple movement. During the movement, the body will enter a strange state, as if it is compressed. The physical volume will be reduced to a certain extent, and except for "moving", the other states of the body will be temporarily stagnant, but it is not stable and this state can be broken at any time.
As for the maximum distance, the maximum distance that Big Mouth can reach is about fifty meters at a time.
Moreover, the impact resistance is not high. Although it looks very fast, the kinetic energy is not large. The kinetic energy at the physical level is determined by the starting speed. For example, Anti just hit the wall, but there was no crack on the wall. It felt like just an ordinary bump.
After a brief pause, the multi-armed monster attacked again.
Big Mouth consciously waved his tongue to block the opponent's attack.
With the help of the big mouth, the opponent's arms were largely restrained. The strength difference between the monster's arms and other parts of the body was obvious, and it was even stronger under the combined force. Anti did not hesitate to directly extend his body, and after layering, he withstood the attack of the remaining arms. The corners of his mouth on both sides were cut open, and many teeth were chopped together.
A hammer hit the opponent's head.
The monster leaned back, and its figure flashed rapidly as it staggered.
Gala!
The miracle that Big Mouth had prepared long ago was performed again. Anti moved his feet and this time he caught up with the opponent directly.
Also entering a state of high-speed movement, the opponent's figure was no longer difficult to capture and appeared clearly in front of him. Anti's hammer caught up with it.
boom!
The monster was instantly knocked out of its moving state, its body flipped sideways, and was quickly caught in mid-air by the big mouth's tongue. Its arms were tied up and twisted off by the tongue, and it quickly became powerless.
With his other hand, Anti drew out a straight sword and cut off the arm of the fish that had escaped.
In the end, the multi-armed monster could only struggle and wriggle like a black worm.
After inserting the sword into his shoulder and retracting it, Anti picked up the lantern at his waist, looked at the monster again and said, "Eat it."
The cut corners of his mouth and broken teeth have not yet regenerated, and he still has a lisp when he speaks.
"Hungry……"
The tentacles moved quickly, pulling the multi-armed monster to Anti's chest, and starting from the head, stuffing it into the mouth there little by little. This process was no different from normal eating, except that Anti's chest felt a little uncomfortable after eating such a large amount of food at once.
In the end, the whole monster was eaten by the big mouth on Anti's chest.
"You don't even taste the food you eat." Anti looked at the person in front of him, who was like a deflated ball. He couldn't wait to exit "combat mode" after the battle. His tongue shrank and the spikes retracted, and even his mouth opened smaller.
"Hungry……"
"Okay, okay, that's enough for today." Anti said casually.
It has already eaten a lot today, not to mention a "big meal".
"Hungry" is just Big Mouth's catchphrase, don't be fooled by its harmless appearance!
The big mouth suddenly stretched out a tongue and handed over a translucent object with the outline of a black palm.
[Inspiration from the multi-armed demon form: Inspiration from a special life form that was derived from the "Heaven and Earth Hand" and transformed by the Eternal Night. After absorption, it can increase the extra sensitivity to a certain extent, and may comprehend special miracles. However, it may also grow extra arms.]
"Gold coins exploded again. It seems that powerful things, especially those related to the wandering gods, have a much higher probability of generating inspiration than ordinary things." Anti said, handing the inspiration to Big Mouth, "Can you eat this?"
"Hungry..." Big Mouth's tongue nimbly circled around the inspiration, seeming very surprised.
"Then eat it." Anti casually stuffed it into the mouth on his chest and said it was a snack. It was a bit silly but it did work.
"Hungry... good... to eat..."
After a while, Anti felt that his sensitivity had improved a little bit.
At the same time, a picture suddenly appeared in my mind:
A pair of pale arms were quietly kneading the clay. The fingers were so nimble and the skills so exquisite that Anti was dazzled, as if the hands themselves had a vibrant life of their own.
Finally, the clay in the hand was shaped into a palm facing upward.
Then, the clay palm really came to life.
