Chapter 218 Past Grudges
There are billions of humans in that world, and people are dying every moment. However, not every corpse can be regarded as a carrier, and parasitism also depends on the right time, place and people.
Only a body that suits you can successfully parasitize.
In order to better fit the body, great demons often choose babies who died in the womb. At the moment the fetus dies, the spirit and soul enter into the body, and then nurture it in the mother's body for a period of time. In this way, even the biological parents will not suspect that their child's soul has been replaced.
The advantage of children born in this way is that they will be more compatible with the body and more adapted to the human body. The disadvantage is that they will have a certain bond with their biological parents.
Liu Yishu didn't want to create too many causes and effects, so he chose a baby who died shortly after birth, and waited until all the cause and effect lines on his body disappeared before parasitizing him.
Because he had waited too long, the baby's body had almost turned cold. Although his parasite had brought the body back to life, the body itself was extremely weak.
After parasitizing the human body, the human is fragile and naturally cannot use demonic power. The soul is restricted by the fragile body and becomes the same as that of ordinary people. Only some races are gifted with magical powers that do not require demonic power and do not require high spiritual awareness, so they can use some of them.
Nine-Tailed Fox's innate magical power of mind reading is one of the magical powers he can use, but its effect is not even one-tenth of his original power, and he can only peek into the hearts of people who are very close to him.
But in the world of ordinary people, this magical power is like a golden finger or a plug-in.
It was with this magical power that he could live freely and comfortably even though he was physically weak.
In addition, he has mastered the law of cause and effect, and he can determine the cause and effect of a person with just one glance. He can see clearly who are ordinary humans and who are aliens in human skin.
Before he deliberately started looking for people like him, Liu Yishu had never found a similar situation around him. At most, he had found some reports about geniuses on TV or short videos, and through the eye of cause and effect, he was able to see through the other person's true identity.
Even later, in order to take revenge on Taotie, he found many big monsters who went there to experience life in the same way. However, they were all scattered all over the world and very far away from each other, so Liu Yishu never thought that there would be a big monster that happened to parasitize on a family.
When Di Ting came to his house, Liu Yishu was still confused.
"I didn't want to get involved in his business, but I was unlucky and ended up being his brother. At least while I was wearing this skin, there was a causal bond between us."
"Our family was already very poor, and the birth of Taotie made our already poor family even worse off. Do you know how much it costs to raise a Taotie?"
"Taotie is a glutton by nature, but it has no stomach, so it will be fine no matter how much it eats. However, the human body it parasitizes has a stomach and is made of flesh and blood. Do you know how shocked our parents were when they saw the baby Taotie chewing on a table leg?"
"It was fine when he was little. Although he wanted to chew everything he saw, human babies have fragile teeth and limited mobility. If we kept an eye on him, at most his teeth would be broken, but they could grow again. But after he could run and jump, his greedy nature caused him to be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment and gastric lavage every few days. He suffered enough, and made our family even poorer. There is no place in the world that costs more money than a hospital. No matter how much money I make, I can't fill this hole for him."
"We have finally found him a job that suits him, so that he can satisfy his gluttonous nature and make money to support himself, but you have repeatedly ruined it! As the saying goes, three times the limit, three times the limit. If you continue to do this, Taotie will not be able to survive, and he and I will not let you survive either." Di Ting, who claimed to be Taotie's brother, complained and threatened in front of Liu Yishu.
Di Ting is the companion beast of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and has the ability to hear the thoughts of all things. It is said that it can even hear the thoughts of saints. This ability is much stronger than the Nine-Tailed Fox's mind-reading ability.
It was with this magical power that Di Ting locked onto Liu Yishu, the mastermind behind the scenes, and brought him to his home.
In that world, Liu Yishu was weak and a worthless fighter. If he had to deal with only Taotie, he had many ways to make Taotie die. But Taotie was lucky, as he actually had a brother who was a big demon. The brother's innate magical powers were extremely useful, so Liu Yishu could only give up reluctantly.
Of course, he didn't intend to let Taotie go just like that. He just wanted to find a perfect opportunity to kill Taotie with one blow.
No matter how deep the brotherly love is, I think Di Ting would not fight him for a dead brother.
Later, Di Ting was busy with his own troubles and had no time to take care of Taotie. Liu Yishu had planned several accidental deaths for Taotie in his mind, but before he could implement them, he was sent to Suzaku Continent by a winter thunder.
Every time he thought about it, Liu Yishu felt very regretful!
Liu Yishu was almost bitten off a piece of his flesh by the Taotie again. He was furious and planned to settle both new and old grudges.
But when he pounced towards the Taotie, he thought of Xu Weichen who was sitting on his back.
After all, Xu Weichen's body had just passed the immortal tribulation not long ago, and was no match for the Taotie's claws.
As the saying goes, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, even after ten years; it is never too late for a great monster to take revenge, even after a thousand or ten thousand years. After he hides Xu Weichen in a safe place, he will come back to compete with Taotie to avenge his previous humiliation!
Thinking of this, Liu Yishu chose a direction and ran.
Taotie was chasing closely behind.
Just like this, one was running away and the other was chasing, as if they were back to the scene when Liu Yishu first encountered Taotie.
Xu Weichen on Liu Yishu's back was too conspicuous. Although Taotie was not smart enough, he was not completely brainless. So after discovering that Liu Yishu did not want to fight with him, he locked onto Xu Weichen on Liu Yishu's back, and every attack was directed at Xu Weichen.
In order to protect Xu Weichen, Liu Yishu had to change his escape route several times. Therefore, he did not realize something was wrong until he was forced by the Taotie to the vicinity of his old nest in the Great Wilderness.
His lair was very close to where Xu Weichen himself was, only a thousand miles away.
But for these powerful monsters who are as fast as lightning, a thousand miles away is just a few breaths.
Is it a coincidence, or——
Liu Yishu didn't want to think too much, but he had to.
After realizing that his escape route was getting closer and closer to Xu Weichen's real body, he tried to change his escape route several times, but Taotie seemed to know what he was thinking. Once he changed his route, the attack against Xu Weichen would follow like a shadow. He was reluctant to let Xu Weichen get hurt, so he was forced to get closer and closer to Xu Weichen's real body.
Liu Yishu wanted to struggle desperately, but he heard Xu Weichen on his back ask in a very soft voice: "That 'I' seems to be nearby, why don't you go find him? If you join hands with him, you shouldn't be afraid of Taotie."
