Fear of food

Chapter 31 Chen Qi's Abilities!
Not only Dabing, but everyone's expression changed.

The pork stall owner, shirtless and exposing his thick upper body, stared blankly at the group of people, as if looking at a herd of pigs waiting to be slaughtered.

He picked up a piece of meat from the stall that looked very strange and alive, and swallowed it whole.

Then his round belly split open, and a baby with a pig's head emerged from it.

As soon as the baby was born, it moved incredibly fast, crawling with both hands and feet moving in unison, like a nimble monkey.

The pig-headed baby grabbed a strange piece of food, leaped onto the chandelier, and hung upside down, its two little eyes gleaming as it stared at Chen Qi and the others.

It seemed that they would rush forward and stuff the strange food in their hands into Chen Qi and the others' mouths whenever they had the chance.

Chen Qi and his group never expected that there would be a parasite hiding among the crowd in the market!
Moreover, it is clear from the initial contact and methods that this parasite is significantly more powerful than the previous Spider-Man.

Spider-Man is mainly intimidating, but his attack methods are actually quite limited.

However, the butcher's methods seemed rather strange and unpredictable.

Big Pancake immediately commanded Golden Retriever to launch an attack on the butcher.

He knew time was precious, because the effects of the derivative food were about to wear off!

However, when the golden retriever fought Spider-Man before, it was already riddled with holes, constantly leaking golden light outwards, like a water bag with many holes.

Just as he jumped in front of the butcher, before he could even swat down with his paw, the butcher suddenly threw the cleaver in his hand.

puff!
The cleaver cut through the golden fur like a whirlwind, slicing through its skin and shaving off half of its head.

Ouch!

With a whimper, the big golden retriever turned into a ball of golden light and disappeared, leaving only a little golden retriever, which trotted back to its owner's side.

The once majestic golden retriever now cowers behind its owner, trembling with fear, its eyes filled with terror as it looks at the butcher.

Instead of pressing their advantage and launching an attack on Chen Qi and his group, the butcher continued to pick up unidentified meat from the meat counter and swallow it.

Another pig-headed baby crawled out of his belly.

The butcher ate very quickly and produced piglets very quickly. As he continued to eat, pig-headed babies crawled out and surrounded Chen Qi and his group, eyeing them menacingly.

It seemed as if they were just waiting for a command to swarm forward and stuff the food in their hands directly into Chen Qi and the others' stomachs.

Chen Qi and his group dared not run. They were certain that if they made any obvious move, they would be met with either an attack from the pig-headed babies or the butcher's knife.

"How to do?"

"Does anyone have any more derivative foods? I've already used them all up!" Big Pancake asked, stroking the dog's head.

Coffee smiled wryly: "I do have some, but it's useless."

The swill-eater said, "I've never even eaten high-class food, how could I have it?"

Zhui Feng shook his head: "I used it up when I escaped last time."

Chen Qi silently pulled out a face-shaped cookie: "I have one."

Apart from Zhui Feng, everyone else had hopeful expressions on their faces.

It was as if I saw a glimmer of hope for survival.

"But I don't know what use it is," Chen Qi said.

"What are your abilities?" Coffee asked.

Zhui Feng answered on behalf of Chen Qi: "Picking up trash."

"Picking up trash?"

The hope that had just been ignited in everyone's hearts was instantly extinguished by a bucket of cold water.

This has absolutely nothing to do with combat ability!
Let alone fighting, they probably wouldn't even have the ability to escape. Like Chasing Wind's acceleration ability, while not suitable for direct combat, it's at least useful for escaping.

"My life is over!" Big Pancake sighed.

"It's okay. I don't have to rummage through the swill bucket anymore. It's a relief." The swill said nonchalantly.

Coffee was the most rational, saying, "Don't give up. Let's run together later. Maybe someone can get out by relying on their teammates. Who gets out depends entirely on luck. Nobody should blame anyone else."

Zhui Feng, finding humor in his predicament, said, "It must be me, I'm the fastest runner."

In the time it took for a few people to say a few words, the butcher had already given birth to more than ten pig-headed babies.

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty pig-headed babies surrounded them.

By this time, the butcher had almost finished eating all the meat on the cutting board and had stopped production.

Clearly, the next step will be to target Chen Qi and his group.

Chen Qi shook his head. Although he also felt that the ghost face biscuits might not be able to give him any fighting ability, in this critical moment, he had no choice but to try it out as a last resort.

He swallowed the cookie whole, chewed it a couple of times, and then swallowed it.

The attention of Chen Qi's teammates immediately turned to him.

Regardless, they all hoped for a miracle.

After swallowing the cookie with the grimoire face, Chen Qi's mind went blank, and the screen went black for a moment, missing about a frame.

After the screen went black, he found that everything in his field of vision had changed.

All living beings, including his teammates, a large group of unconscious ordinary people around him, and the pig-headed babies born from the butcher, all had something like an arrow appear above their heads.

Those weren't real arrows, but rather images existing only in Chen Qi's consciousness; those arrows seemed to represent something...

Only the butcher did not have the arrow above his head.

As soon as Chen Qi had a thought, he dragged the arrows above some people's heads, and at the same time, he naturally had a sudden realization.

"These arrows represent appetite!"

"Can I...control their appetites?"

Chen Qi's heart started pounding uncontrollably.

At this moment, the butcher suddenly swung his cleaver, and all the pig-headed babies seemed to receive a command, attacking Chen Qi and the others from all directions.

Chen Qi instantly activated the arrows above the heads of all the pig-headed babies, directing them towards the butcher!
The next moment, all the pig-headed babies that were rushing towards them suddenly stopped halfway and turned around to rush towards the butcher.

They jumped onto the butcher, each one nudging the butcher with their snouts and tearing at him.

Clearly, the butcher hadn't expected things to turn out this way. He paused for a moment before grabbing a pig-headed baby in one hand, pressing it onto the chopping board, and chopping off its head with a swift stroke of his cleaver.

However, he produced too many pig-headed babies, and he couldn't chop them all up in a short time.

Not only the butcher, but also his teammates looked at Chen Qi with suspicion, completely unaware of how he had managed to turn those pig-headed babies against him.

At this moment, the butcher seemed to be annoyed by the group of pig-headed babies tearing at him. His body suddenly swelled up, and he inserted his hands into his chest cavity, pulling out two of his own ribs.

He swung his ribs, smashing the heads of the pig-headed babies that lunged at him.

But those pig-headed babies were incredibly tenacious; even with their heads shattered, they could still fight and move freely, and soon they had gutted the butcher.

However, what emerged from his stomach were not organs, but strange, living clumps of flesh...

Chen Qi took a deep breath, and as soon as he had a thought, all the people in the market who had been stunned opened their mouths and pounced on the lump of meat!
