Coveted After Becoming a Monster [Quick Transmigration] 76

Chapter 76:

“They are…”

The volcano’s mouth was filled with people. Qi Fu wiped the sweat from her forehead with one hand and said, panting, “Damn it, how is Ji An An so scary? She pulled the professor and jumped in. It scared me to death.”

This was no exaggeration. Although Qi Fu was now all bluster, when she had seen Li An fall into the lava just now, her legs had gone weak and she had knelt down, her face pale, and she had almost fainted.

Fortunately, Ling Yun was beside her and had dragged her here.

Ling Yun’s expression was a little better now, but her eyes were still fixed on the bottom.

She saw the lava in the volcano’s mouth churning, and from time to time, bubbles would appear and then burst. The scorching temperature spewed out, and it was shockingly hot. But in this high temperature, a large cocoon had appeared.

It wasn’t right to call it a cocoon, and it wasn’t quite right to call it an egg.

It was probably a pile of lava that had been sucked up out of thin air and had formed an oval-shaped ball in the air.

At first, Qi Fu had wanted to use her special ability to fly around and explore, but no matter how hard she tried, she could only reach a position ten meters away. If she went any further, she would be pushed away by an unknown force.

And she could clearly sense that this force had recognized her, so it had only gently pushed her away. If it had been anyone else, they would probably have been melted into the lava.

So, they guessed that Ji Yulin and Li An were in the giant cocoon, but they didn’t know what had happened, and they had not been able to break free for a long time.

“I’ve already had people seal off the surrounding area and not allow anyone to get close,” Cheng Xi’s expression was grave. Not only was she worried about Ji Yulin and Li An, but also her Silver Feather.

Ever since Silver Feather had devoured that bird’s wing, she had fallen into a deep sleep and could not be woken up no matter how much she was shaken. If it weren’t for the fact that she was still breathing, Cheng Xi would be crying and digging a hole now.

Therefore, she was now worried about this and that, and her mood was extremely bad.

She thought for a moment and added, “The Eighth District is still trying its best to guide the residents to a safe place, in case the volcano has another strange movement.”

Qi Fu and Ling Yun both nodded slightly and did not express any other opinions. They even felt that it was natural. The situation was difficult to say now. If the volcano calmed down, that would be for the best. If not, then they had to reduce the number of casualties as much as possible.

But Cheng Xi’s tone changed, and she said, half-helplessly and half-amusedly, “But a small number of people in the city are not willing to leave.”

“Oh? Aren’t they afraid of death?” Qi Fu asked curiously while looking over there.

Cheng Xi shook her head and said helplessly, “They feel that with the protection of the octopus god, the Eighth District will be fine.”

“What?” Qi Fu was stunned for a moment. She had not expected that after leaving the Eighth District for a few hours, an octopus god would appear.

She belatedly reacted and said, “Is it Ji An An?”

Cheng Xi’s expression was a little hard to describe, and she silently nodded.

Qi Fu wanted to laugh but couldn’t, and in the end, she burst out with a curse.

“Ji An An has been deified. The people of your Eighth District have some ideas.”

Cheng Xi didn’t know how to respond. Fortunately, Ling Yun spoke up, “Too many things have happened today. First, the volcano erupted, then the people with special abilities no longer hid and appeared in front of people. Then there was a fight between a strange bird and a giant octopus. It’s normal for ordinary people not to be able to accept it.”

Cheng Xi nodded in agreement.

Ling Yun continued, “If they can’t accept it, they will naturally use their own way to understand it, so the octopus god appeared.”

Cheng Xi added, “These new believers of the octopus god firmly believe that all our special abilities come from the octopus god. As long as their faith is sincere enough, they can obtain the same power.”

Qi Fu blinked, at a loss for words.

If she were to deny it, Li An did have this ability. If she were to affirm it, she couldn’t say that it was all her.

Qi Fu thought for a moment and silently chose to shut up, and just said, “Let’s see the situation first. If there’s still no movement every day, I’ll go down and take a look.”

Everyone nodded, and their gazes shifted, and they landed on the giant cocoon in the volcano.

But the situation inside was not as anxious as Qi Fu and the others had thought.

The scorching lava was swirling like a stream, and an invisible energy was also enveloping them, pouring into the pink-haired girl’s body.

And the scaled tentacles were gone. Like the other tentacles, they had turned peach-pink again, looking as tender as a newborn. They were all as thick as an adult’s arm, but they didn’t look overly burly. There was even a pink and chubby, cute and harmless feeling.

But it was these eight tentacles that were wrapping around the woman in her arms. Her limbs were all held, and the tentacles on her waist were even tighter. Only from the gaps could a little be seen.

Compared to before, Ji Yulin had also changed.

Her skin was previously more on the pale side, and from a distance, she looked cold and sickly. But now, it was as white as a peeled egg, and her muscles and veins were almost perfect, both strong and gentle, like a masterpiece that a craftsman had painstakingly carved.

And the thin layer of sweat on her forehead and neck did not feel sticky. Instead, it added a bit of a real and tangible reality.

“Hot,” Ji Yulin murmured unconsciously. Since she had been pulled into the cliff by Li An, she had been pulled by a strange force and had fallen into a deep sleep.

A tentacle was coiling like a snake, and it was swimming between her skin, but it did not leave any marks. On the contrary, when each sucker got close, an invisible energy would be faintly transferred, until it reached between her legs, and a tentacle suddenly squeezed in.

Ji Yulin let out a muffled groan, grabbed the tentacle beside her, and her bent knuckles had a jade-like luster, her fingertips flushed red.

“An An,” an unconscious plea, and she had even forgotten the most basic restraint, and she looked even more weak and helpless.

She tried to push it away, and her bent fingers straightened, and she pressed into the soft tentacles, creating a palm-shaped hollow.

But she could not push it away. In the end, she wanted to turn on her side and curl up.

But unexpectedly, this method had annoyed the tentacles, so they hooked her ankle, and in the struggle, she was forced to separate.

The tentacles got closer, and the suckers pressed against every corner.

“An An, don’t,” Ji Yulin was still pleading, the corners of her eyes slightly red.

The surrounding lava was still there, reflecting a brilliant and scorching red halo. It looked dangerous, but it could not get close to the two of them.

When Ji Yulin lifted her leg to struggle, the lava would even take the initiative to avoid her.

Her thick lashes trembled slightly. She wanted to wake up several times but was pulled into a sleep, and she could only respond by instinct.

She raised her hand and was held, and her bent leg was also held down.

The tentacles, as if they knew they had gone too far, finally dodged a little but were actively approached and taken in.

“I want,” her sobbing voice was still a plea, but it had a hint of an indescribable desire.

The tentacles swayed with satisfaction. Even though the creature was still in a coma, her malicious nature could not be changed.

So, the tentacle that had withdrawn halfway approached again. This time, it was not as direct as before. Instead, it slowly crawled forward with its suckers.

This feeling was unbearable. Although the suction of the suckers was strong enough, it was only for a short time. Before it could be ignited, it was released, and another sucker was replaced, another different feeling. Although there was only a slight difference, it also made it impossible for one to reach.

It was as if she had been hung on the edge of a cliff, with only a rope left.

But she would not let go at once. Instead, she would let it go inch by inch.

Ji Yulin bent her legs but could not find a support point. She was completely suspended in mid-air, at the mercy of the tentacles.

A tingling sensation spread throughout her body, but there was no end to it.

“Li An,”

“An An, An.”

Broken and scattered sounds were constantly heard.

Li An did not respond, but a tentacle deliberately hooked, and Ji Yulin trembled with it. The flat abdomen actually bulged a little, and a thin layer of sweat dripped down.

“Don’t,”

Ji Yulin said, but she got closer, her body honestly craving.

Then she saw the bulge rise and fall, and there was even the sound of water.

At the same time, the invisible force was increasingly moving from Li An’s body into Ji Yulin’s.

Li An held Ji Yulin even tighter, and her tentacles did not stop.

“Don’t, hurry up,”

Urging and pushing away, a back-and-forth contradiction.

The tentacle was about to be more outrageous but was pulled away by another tentacle.

It was unclear when the agreement had been reached, but each tentacle had a fixed time limit to ensure the fairness of each tentacle.

Ji Yulin frowned slightly. Before she could let go, she was squeezed in by others, and her brows knitted even tighter.

“Don’t,”

This tentacle was not as slow as the last one and quickly crashed in.

Ji Yulin took a deep breath and then suddenly bit Li An’s shoulder.

“That’s enough, stop.”

“No,”

Outside the lava, in a flash, another three days passed.

Qi Fu and the others were still guarding the edge. Apart from their clothes, there was no change. The only difference was that there was another spherical cocoon by the volcano’s mouth. It was not as big as the one inside, only the size of a soccer ball, and it felt much weaker.

Cheng Xi was guarding by the side, her face haggard after not having closed her eyes for a day and a night.

“What on earth is going on?” Qi Fu asked helplessly.

Ling Yun, beside her, comforted, “It should be fine. Didn’t Silver Feather, didn’t she say.”

She obviously stuttered for a moment before she continued, “Before it became like this, didn’t it say something about rebirth from the ashes and nesting?”

At this point, Ling Yun still couldn’t believe it. Ever since Silver Feather had eaten that wing, she had actually been able to speak.

Although her pronunciation was not very accurate at first, and she could only say a few words like a baby learning to speak, it was still very amazing.

It had scared the three of Qi Fu into a daze. After listening to it say a few broken words, it had, just like Li An before, sucked in the lava and enveloped itself.

Of course, there was a difference. It had originally wanted to suck in the lava from the volcano’s mouth but had been blocked by an invisible force. In the end, it could only pitifully suck in the lava that had been sprayed on the ground around it, forming a small ball that completely enveloped it.

At the thought of that scene, Qi Fu and Ling Yun exchanged a glance, and they vaguely guessed the reason but did not dare to discuss it in front of Cheng Xi.

Ling Yun thought for a moment and then said in a low voice, “It should be fine. I saw that before Silver Feather became like this, she had glanced at the volcano’s mouth, and her eyes were a little,”

Ling Yun glanced at Cheng Xi and said in an even smaller voice, “Jealous.”

“You saw it too? I thought it was my illusion,” Qi Fu replied in a small voice.

Ling Yun’s gaze fell, and she saw Qi Fu unconsciously holding her hand, and she replied in a low voice, “Yes, to be able to make such a powerful mutated beast feel jealous, the professor and Li An should be fine, and it might even be a good thing.”

Qi Fu’s expression was still grave, and she just sighed, “I hope so.”

As long as she didn’t see the two of them appear, she couldn’t rest easy.

The sun set and then rose, and a full month passed.

The original location of the Eighth District was more than half empty. Only a small number of people remained. In the center of their homes, they had placed an octopus-shaped statue and were kneeling and praying.

The passing soldiers saw this and not only did not stop them but also showed a look of it being normal. They even muttered a prayer when they passed by.

Just when everyone thought that today was just another ordinary day, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the volcano.

The cocoon made of lava finally showed a strange movement.
