As a tentacle monster, all the energy Wen Chu collected was used for the growth of his tentacles.

Having many, long, and big tentacles was the ultimate wish of every tentacle monster.

Wen Chu was no exception.

But just now, the tentacles he had painstakingly raised were actually forced to break off entirely in the flames of the explosion.

As compensation, it was only natural for the culprit in front of him to return the tentacles to him.

Wen Chu felt entirely justified.

It was just that he was a bit too small right now.

The transparent little ball immediately rolled to the edge of the deep crater from the explosion.

The three people had long been blown to ashes. He, on the other hand, tried hard to lay his palm-sized body on the crystal core of the mutated man-eating flower, rapidly absorbing energy.

The green crystal core dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the transparent little ball grew from the size of one palm to two palms.

When he grew to the size of three palms, the crystal core turned completely gray, and then—

Crack—

The crystal core shattered.

Wen Chu looked at the crystal core that had shattered into powder with heartache.

That was why he persisted in raising flowers and grass.

This way, by eating a little bit of energy from each plant every day, he could grow up. Absorbing the crystal core directly would easily drain the other party’s energy dry.

But now he needed to recover his strength quickly, so he could only waste the crystal core like this.

The sustainable ecological chain he had built with great difficulty was broken by the blond guy just like that.

The more Wen Chu thought about it, the more heartache he felt. Turning around, the medium-sized transparent ball he had become continued to roll in the direction of the blond guy.

The blond mercenary’s lips had turned purplish due to excessive blood loss at this moment.

Wen Chu crawled onto his body and checked his breath.

Breathing, still alive.

Wen Chu breathed a sigh of relief.

He immediately separated a small portion of himself to cover the wound on the other’s abdomen.

The transparent little blob melted like water after covering it, and at the same time, the terrifying wound on the other’s abdomen gradually healed itself.

The branch that had pierced through his waist and abdomen was slowly pushed out during the healing process.

Plop.

Finally, the blood-stained branch fell to the ground.

With the progress of the treatment, Wen Chu also felt the invisible connection between himself and the other party.

Because it was just one treatment, the thread of connection was very weak, especially since this person’s mental strength was formidable.

Wen Chu had no doubt that as long as he tried to force control over the other party, the other party could cut off this weak control thread with mental power in the next moment.

But it didn’t matter; he hadn’t expected to control the other party with just one treatment anyway.

Even with the weakest second-rank plants, he had to repeatedly stick to them and heal them several times before he could control them.

He had survived until now not with any other skills, but purely because his vitality was relatively tenacious.

When mutated plants hit him, he would entangle them to absorb energy. After grinding back and forth a few times, there were no mutated plants he couldn’t wear down.

Wen Chu also had full confidence in controlling the blond mercenary.

However, the top priority now was to let the other party hatch tentacles for him first.

There were two main ways to grow tentacles.

One was to absorb the energy in the crystal core and raise them bit by bit under the nourishment of energy. It took him a full ten years to raise them that big.

The second was… to find a person to incubate for him.

Bury a part of himself into the body of a person with strong power, absorb the other party’s crystal core and energy, let this part grow into a complete tentacle inside the other party’s body, and then come out to reattach to his body.

Then he could separate more parts for the other party to nurture.

Wen Chu was preparing to implement plan two now, making the person in front of him the broodmother for his tentacles.

Seeing that the other party was out of danger, Wen Chu didn’t hesitate much and separated half of himself again.

The transparent little ball was very soft. After separating, it flexibly drilled in through the hole in the other party’s clothes.

It didn’t matter even if the other party’s body had never been developed.

The water-like little ball was only the size of a fist. With some pressing and squeezing, it could always get in.

“Mmh…”

In his coma, the blond mercenary felt soreness and swelling, frowned in discomfort, and let out a muffled groan.

Wen Chu was startled, and the little ball that had just drilled halfway in also stopped.

He carefully observed the other party’s state, and only after confirming that the other party had no intention of waking up did he continue to control the little ball to drill further inside.

Soon, a small, hard-to-ignore bulge appeared on the mercenary’s lower abdomen.

It was Wen Chu’s first time finding a broodmother to nurture tentacles for himself, so he searched around for the location of the dantian unskillfully.

Following his control, that fist-sized bulge began to wander on the mercenary’s abdomen.

The mercenary’s frown deepened. He curled up unconsciously, his knees buckled inward, attempting to stop the thing causing trouble inside his body.

But it was useless.

Wen Chu explored inch by inch and finally found the other party’s dantian, quickly making the little ball settle in.

Rich power and a warm nest instantly surrounded him. In just a blink of an eye, the little ball grew several sizes larger.

The mercenary’s lower abdomen also changed from a weird bulge to the appearance of early pregnancy.

Such rich power.

Wen Chu was startled, followed by happiness.

So rich. At this rate, in just three to five days, he could retrieve his first tentacle.

This was unknown times faster than absorbing power from plants before.

He wanted to keep this person, drain all his power, until the other party could no longer give birth to tentacles.

Wen Chu happily touched the mercenary’s pale lips, leaving glistening water stains on the corner of the other’s mouth.

The dry lips suddenly came into contact with slimy water, and Xiu licked it subconsciously.

This lick landed directly on the little ball.

“Ji!!” Wen Chu rolled away instantly, looking at the unconscious mercenary in astonishment.

This person molested him!!

Lecher!

Wen Chu spun around anxiously on the spot, angry and annoyed, with even more indescribable emotions.

Finally, he jumped onto the mercenary’s face with a “Splat” and gave a fierce suck, leaving a red mark.

He wanted to molest him back too.

A circle of incongruous red mark soon appeared on the blond mercenary’s handsome face.

He was already feeling uncomfortably stretched, and now a small tentacle ball was clinging to his face and kissing him hard. In his coma, he vaguely thought he had fallen into the depths of some unknown monster.

His body was filled, his cheeks rubbed against, the monster pervasive…

Xiu woke up with a start.

The first thing he saw after opening his eyes was the transparent little ball that had already kissed onto the bridge of his nose.

Xiu: “…”

Xiu finally knew why he had such strange dreams just now.

He reached out and plucked the transparent little ball off. The soft and slimy little ball was lifted up, emitting angry “Ji Ji” sounds.

Xiu lowered his eyes to look at the exceptionally familiar transparent ball in his hand and tentatively spoke: “Little tentacle?”

Wen Chu was angry: “I have a name! My name is Wen Chu!”

Genuine astonishment appeared in Xiu’s eyes: “You can talk?”

Wen Chu huffed angrily: “Of course I can, I’m not stupid.”

Xiu had been blown away by the explosion. Waking up now, he only felt waves of blackness before his eyes. He rubbed his aching forehead, somewhat unclear about the current situation, and barely managed to be patient to talk to the little tentacle: “But you didn’t talk to me before.”

Wen Chu said seriously: “Because one shouldn’t talk to strangers casually.”

Xiu: “…”

He couldn’t help it; a trace of a smile appeared on his pale, stern face: “Are you a baby?”

Wen Chu bristled: “This is basic… that… uh, safety common sense! Do you understand or not!”

A tentacle talking about safety common sense with a human was a bit too weird.

Xiu only found it amusing.

He wondered who this little tentacle learned from. Was that person a kindergarten teacher? Raising a monster like a child?

His tone unconsciously relaxed, and he was about to get up while holding the little tentacle: “What is the situation now? Tell me—”

Xiu’s words stopped abruptly.

Because with the movement of getting up, he finally discovered the strange feeling of fullness in his lower abdomen.

Xiu slowly lowered his head.

He saw that the tactical suit between his waist and abdomen was broken, and the pants on his legs had almost lost their covering function.

And on his lower abdomen, there was a strange bulging arc.

Just like a pregnant man showing early signs.

Xiu: “…”

Xiu suspected he was still in a coma: “…What is this?”

The transparent little ball held in his hand was very proud: “My tentacle.”

“Your, tentacle?” Xiu repeated with difficulty.

“Mmhmm.” The little ball’s tone was brisk. “You are pregnant with my tentacle. You are now the broodmother of my tentacle. You can only leave after giving birth to the tentacle.”

Wen Chu finished speaking and stared at Xiu’s expression expectantly.

But contrary to his expectations, no look of brokenness or breakdown appeared on the man’s cold face. Instead, he was more puzzled: “Why would I be pregnant with your tentacle?”

“Because you blew up my tentacles, and I have no energy to absorb, so I separated a part to incubate in your body. You should compensate me…”

Wen Chu counted, then said: “At least ten tentacles!”

Xiu didn’t understand.

But this forest was obviously not a place to stay for long. Xiu carried the transparent little ball to the explosion site. Seeing the three people reduced to ashes, he let out a sneer.

“Is there a hidden place here? Point the way to a cave, let’s talk slowly.”

Whether it was waking up pregnant with a tentacle or a talking mutated creature, it had exceeded Xiu’s cognitive range.

This was the forbidden zone of the Northern Forest. To eliminate him and Chen Yaozu quietly, their trip this time was silent.

The little ball in front of him looked cute, but was obviously the local tyrant of the Northern Forest. He didn’t need to clash head-on with it.

He still had to go back alive to kill both the president of the Ability User Association and the base leader.

Wen Chu didn’t think too much. He simply felt what the other said made sense, so he twisted his body: “I’ll point the way, you walk forward.”

He was too small now and rolled too slowly, so he wouldn’t roll by himself.

Xiu made no comment and walked deep into the forest following Wen Chu’s instructions.

“Walk forward first, to that crooked neck tree ahead.”

“Yes, then turn left here…”

Following Wen Chu’s twists and turns in the forest, Xiu successfully arrived at a hidden cave.

“It’s here.” Wen Chu jumped down from Xiu’s hand and rolled into the cave. “I usually live here!”

Xiu was slightly surprised.

He just wanted to find a temporary place to stay, but he didn’t expect this monster to take him directly back to its lair.

Was it really innocent, or did it have something to rely on?

Xiu’s vigilance rose a bit, but there was no fluctuation on his face. He lifted his foot and followed the little ball into the cave.

The cave was very deep and had no lighting tools. Taking advantage of the daylight, Xiu sat temporarily at the entrance of the cave.

He looked seriously at the little ball in front of him: “What exactly is going on?”

“It’s just that you are pregnant with my tentacle. You poached so many of my plants before…” Wen Chu chattered on.

He explained the whole sequence of events and then condemned Xiu: “Those were all grown by my hard work. Every time you came, you picked the biggest and highest-level ones to chop. I hate you.”

“This time you also made me lose all my tentacles. So, you must stay here and give birth to all the tentacles for me before you can leave.”

Xiu raised an eyebrow.

Although what Wen Chu said was outrageous, looking at his currently showing belly, it didn’t seem so outrageous anymore.

He unconsciously stroked his lower abdomen and considered his words: “No, I still have things to do. I can’t stay here.”

Wen Chu had long expected the other party to resist, curling up in the corner and refusing to listen: “It’s useless even if you want to leave. My tentacle has taken root in your body. If you dare to leave, I’ll suck you dry.”

Saying this, Wen Chu intensified the absorption speed of the tentacle.

In just a few seconds, Xiu discovered in astonishment that his ability began to drain away.

Accompanied by the arc of his lower abdomen expanding again.

Xiu pursed his lips, suppressing the strange trembling caused by excessive fullness and squeezing, his gaze towards the little ball turning cold.

He enunciated word by word: “I am sorry for what happened before. I will compensate later, but I cannot stay here now. I have important matters to attend to.”

Wen Chu didn’t care: “Then go. If you dare to take a step out of this cave, I will let you die outside.”

He dared to heal the fatal wounds on the other party instantly, of course, because he had confidence.

Xiu narrowed his eyes dangerously: “So, you mean you disagree?”

Wen Chu puffed up angrily: “Of course.”

Xiu chuckled low and sighed: “Alright then.”

Almost the moment his voice fell, his figure disappeared from the spot and quickly arrived in front of Wen Chu.

He pulled out a dagger gleaming with cold light from somewhere and stabbed without hesitation at the little ball curled up in the corner.

“In that case, you can only die.”

To wait for this opportunity, he had lurked for a full ten years. No one could stop him from returning to the base for revenge.

Wen Chu was startled by Xiu pouncing over and immediately rolled aside in a panic.

“You’re crazy!” He rolled all the way deep into the cave. “I can’t be killed. No matter how many pieces you chop me into, I can still live.”

Xiu chased relentlessly: “Then why are you running?”

Wen Chu felt aggrieved: “I’m afraid of pain!!”

He was just a fragile tentacle monster.

Wen Chu was really too small now. Rolling around, he couldn’t outrun Xiu at all. He relied completely on his transparent body and familiarity with the cave terrain to dodge the other party’s dagger dangerously again and again.

That annoying Blondie listened to his words but didn’t believe a bit of it. Instead, as if certain he would be chopped to death, his movements became even sharper.

It completely didn’t look like the other party was still pregnant with a tentacle.

Wen Chu was aggrieved to death.

Poached, blown back into a little ball, and now asking the other party to compensate him with a tentacle, yet the other party chased him to kill him.

Where was the promised brokenness after humiliation? Why did the one to be broken become him now??

The more Wen Chu thought about it, the more aggrieved and angry he became. Suddenly, he stopped abruptly.

“I wanted to talk to you nicely.”

“Since you are unwilling to cooperate, then don’t blame me—”

A sense of crisis struck, and Xiu stopped subconsciously.

Unknowingly, he had chased Wen Chu deep into the cave.

He didn’t know how big this cave was. The place he was in was so dark he couldn’t see his fingers, only faintly seeing the slight light from the cave entrance far away.

A cold breath hit his face.

Xiu gripped the dagger vigilantly, waiting for Wen Chu’s next move.

The strange sensation came from his body at this moment.

The tentacle that was staying obediently in his abdomen suddenly expanded rapidly. Xiu only felt his strength drained in an instant.

He had just woken up after a massive hemorrhage. At this moment, his vision went black, and he knelt on one knee on the ground.

In the darkness, his lower abdomen expanded rapidly like a balloon being blown up, soon reaching the size of imminent labor.

A hideous tentacle drilled out from his body.

“What… thing, ugh?!” Xiu cried out in astonishment.

That tentacle returned to the little ball. The little ball grew a whole size larger and controlled the tentacle to circle his waist and abdomen.

His legs were forced open, spread wide in an M shape.

In the darkness, Xiu couldn’t see anything, only feeling another lump drilling into his lower abdomen.

The lower abdomen that had just flattened bulged up again.

But this was not the end.

The boy’s voice sounded faintly: “I’m really too good to you. Let me suck all your remaining power dry first.”

With his words, the hideous tentacle entered.

The tentacle monster’s tentacles were soft and extremely plastic. Even if the tentacle body was as thick as two adult arms, it could still enter him smoothly all the way.

Xiu finally realized he was being f*cked by the other party and couldn’t help struggling.

But he was almost entirely fixed on the tentacle now. His three-month pregnant-like lower abdomen showed the shape of the tentacle suckers, making escape impossible.

So, so strange…

It wasn’t the pain he imagined, but a stranger, numb feeling.

Xiu heard himself make a sound that didn’t belong to him, exceptionally low and husky.

What was going on…

“Wait… so strange…” Xiu couldn’t help speaking out.

But the tentacle monster, overcome by anger, only thought about sucking his power dry, completely unaware of what kind of behavior this was.

He thrust the entire tentacle into the area, frantically absorbing the other party’s energy together with the part he had just put into the other party’s body.

Annoying mercenary!

He wanted to squeeze him dry!

…

Wen Chu’s battle results were remarkable.

At first, the mercenary could struggle and try to resist with the dagger, but later only low moans remained.

By the end, when Wen Chu had grown the second tentacle, the mercenary collapsed.

He wanted to crawl away, but was dragged back by the transparent tentacles and implanted with the seed of the next tentacle again.

He was left with only hoarse, tuneless pleas for mercy and waves of trembling, even seeming to have cried, leaving a lot of water on his tentacles.

And this was exactly what Wen Chu wanted.

Make him broken.

Make him powerless to escape ever again.

It wasn’t until late at night, when the moon was high on the branches, seeing that the other party was in a semi-conscious state, that Wen Chu mercifully retracted the tentacles.

Now this annoying mercenary knew his power, right?

Possessing two tentacles, Wen Chu dragged the mercenary out directly, wanting to force him to answer if he dared to run again.

Dragging the other party to the cave entrance, seeing the other party’s current appearance clearly by the moonlight, Wen Chu suddenly lost his voice again.

The blond mercenary’s clothes, which were already tattered, were unwatchable now. With a pregnant belly, his whole body was covered with marks sucked by tentacle suckers.

The whites of his eyes were slightly turned up, still delirious, but he was holding his stomach with one hand and trying to cover himself with the other.

“No more…” The mercenary’s voice was hoarse.

“Really no more… can’t eat anymore…”

So, so erotic.

Wen Chu retracted his tentacles as if electrocuted and shrank back shyly.

What was wrong with this person? Getting him pregnant with a tentacle, yet he showed such a lewd expression.

Making it seem as if they had mated.

He must be seducing him on purpose.

He wouldn’t fall for it.

Thinking of this, Wen Chu tried hard to calm down. He stiffly circled Xiu’s neck and threatened: “Do you still dare to run?”

Seeing the tentacle suckers, Xiu subconsciously tensed up. He was stunned for a moment before analyzing Wen Chu’s words from his chaotic thoughts.

All his strength had been sucked dry, and he was even pregnant with the next tentacle. At this moment, he couldn’t even speak, only nodding weakly, unwillingness and pain flashing in his eyes.

Not because he was impregnated by the tentacle monster.

But because…

Xiu’s trembling hand touched his chest.

Only when he felt the chip in his chest pocket did he slowly let out a breath of turbid air, then clutched the clothes on his chest tightly.

It was just that… the opportunity he had waited eight years for might be lost.

A full eight years of hatred; how could he be willing to let it go?

Wen Chu looked at the obviously painfully struggling mercenary, feeling even more sour in his heart.

He hadn’t settled accounts with the other party yet. Just getting pregnant with a tentacle, and the other party was acting like life and death already.

Fragile humans.

Wen Chu poked the blond mercenary’s cheek angrily: “Hey, what’s your name?”

Already pregnant with two of his tentacles, yet not introducing himself proactively, but showing this “husband died” expression to the moon.

What was he doing? Treating him as part of a play?

Xiu barely came back to his senses and spoke with a hoarse voice: “Xiu.”

“Xiu?” Wen Chu’s tentacles paused.

In an instant, countless memory fragments swept over.

Zombie outbreak, the city full of war and riots. Amidst countless ruins, he carefully wrapped himself in a cloak and groped his way to the nearest supermarket.

It had long been looted empty, but he was really too hungry. Standing on tiptoe, he grabbed the banknotes in the cashier and tried to stuff them into his mouth.

The door was broken open at that time.

A man whose face couldn’t be seen clearly, holding a machine gun and wearing a black tactical suit, stepped into the supermarket.

He couldn’t dodge in time and bumped right into the other party.

The man lifted him up as he curled up trembling, raised an eyebrow, and chuckled: “Kid?”

…No.

Wen Chu curled up his tentacles in pain.

Wasn’t he a monster? Why would he have human memories?

Fragmented memory clips continued to play.

The man pinching his cheek, smilingly asking him to call him brother; frowning and teaching him not to eat things randomly; always instructing him not to talk to strangers when going out…

And…

What was that person’s name?

The memory returned to the moment of their first encounter.

Wen Chu finally heard clearly.

The man chuckled and said: “I am Xiu. Follow me from now on; big brother will raise you.”
