Chapter 339: The Devouring Monster
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The giant beast entrenched on the ground was quivering like a huge mill-sized dough. However, its soft but tough chain-like skin and the two rows of white sword-like teeth exposed from its diamond-shaped head made its supposedly comical appearance look particularly ferocious and horrifyng.
“So this is the Giant-teeth Dragon?” Zhang Lisheng strode up to the beast and muttered. “Even though I really can’t tell how it’s related to ‘dragon’ but it looks fierce enough to be eaten…”
Tugra, who was following closely behind the young man, did not understand the reason why the Raider wanted the tribal warrior to capture a ferocious beast so he only maintained his silence. At this time, in front of Zhang Lisheng who was several times smaller than itself, the Giant-teeth Dragon stopped struggling and roaring, and lowered its head to whimper instead.
“The beast’s instinct is really keen…” Catching the horrified gaze of the Giant-teeth Dragon for a while, Zhang Lisheng took a deep breath and raised his voice. “Remove its chain.”
When the surrounding warriors heard the Raider’s order, they circled the Giant-teeth Dragon one by one. Some of the warriors riding on the giant millispiders waved their long spears and roared “Hoh hoh…” to intimidate the wild beast, while some, on the other hand, gradually crept up on the Giant-teeth Dragon’s body and untied the chain binding the giant beast one by one.
“There’s no need to be afraid, it doesn’t have the mood to hurt anybody now.” Upon seeing his believers’ careful actions, Zhang Lisheng smiled and maintained his Money Toad’s transformation power. Without warning, he took a step forward and leapt up high, before piercing his sharp claws onto the neck of the Giant-teeth Dragon connecting its head and body.
In an instant, the thick and scarlet blood of the ferocious beast gushed out right away, dying Zhang Lisheng’s scales to become mottled red.
After he was drenched entirely in blood from head to toe, the young man used his left arm that appeared to be slender compared to the Giant-teeth Dragon to forcefully remove the chain’s shackles. The ferocious beast struggling painfully with all its might was suppressed and could not move. The young man stuck out his tongue and licked the jam-like beast’s blood on his lips. As his eyes turned bright, he muttered, “It’s full of nutrition. Good! Very good!”
Then, using his right arm, he took a skip and a step and sent an Exploding-style punch, hitting the Giant-teeth Dragon’s forehead.
Even though it was only a punch, under the violent shock caused by the infiltrated force, the giant beast’s brain was soon stirred into a pile of gooey paste. Gleaming white brain liquid flowed out from its nose as it let out a short wail, before falling to the ground.
Seeing that the Giant-teeth Dragon had lost its vitality, Zhang Lisheng smiled ferociously and tore the wound on his neck. Diving in it with a force, the young man entered the giant beast’s fresh body from the open wound.
In an instant, the whole body of the young man was tightly wrapped in blood and muscles as he began to swallow a few large mouthfuls of the beast’s meat and blood. Not only that, his transformation power also transformed into the wyrmdragon from Money Toad. After his intact scales that were circular in shape inside and square outside faded, it revealed a slender and slim bloody body.
Half of the antler-like ears were gone while a pair of protruding giant eyes were filled with turbid blood. A majority of the green scales that were originally covering his entire body had melted like glue onto his flesh. These fatal injuries were the result of being swallowed by the mysterious flesh tube drilling out of the ground during the conquest last night.
At that time, if the transformation power that he was using had not been the wyrmdragon, China’s totem mythical being that allowed his vitality to be so powerful that it was absolutely incredible, which also allowed him to survive six seconds of the hell-like environment that was filled with blazing fire and acid, and transformed his transformation power into the nine-tailed lizard; if it had not been for the lizard’s transformation power that he had transformed which had given him the magical ability to nihilate his body and walk through barriers to escape from the crisis, Zhang Lisheng would have long turned into a pile of bones.
After Zhang Lisheng had undergone the qualitative change of Rank-6 Wizard, it allowed him to have an advantage of seemingly having an additional life every time he incarnated a wizard gu. This advantage was perfectly demonstrated during this crisis and allowed him to be lucky enough to escape the flesh tube by nihilating his body and returning to the battlefield unscathed to stabilize the situation after transforming using the Money Toad’s power in the jungle.
Even so, his dragon’s incarnation was on the verge of death. His lizard’s incarnation was also hindered as its ability to nihilate and go through things was suppressed because of the red-skinned surface of the mysterious flesh tube. Through his repeated attempts, it was severely damaged in repeated attempts, but was unable to recover for no reason by itself. If this continued to drag on, he did not know how the situation would develop.
For this reason, he commanded the Tudenan warriors to hunt for ferocious beasts so that he could use the beast’s flesh and blood to heal himself.
Inadvertently, several dozens of minutes had gone by. Suppressing the sense of nausea rising up his throat, he swallowed half of the beast’s body. With a speed visible to the naked eye, Zhang Lisheng’s body incarnated by the wyrmdragon’s power was gradually squirming as flesh, bones, scales began to grow and finally repair all of his wounds to perfection.
“I’m more barbaric than those barbarians who lead a primitive life!” Even though Zhang Lisheng sensed that his body was still very weak, his injury had now completely healed. Zhang Lisheng wiped the blood from his face inside the hollow giant beast’s body and muttered under his breath, “But, it’s still better than showing my dying look in front of those Hellfire tribesmen. When I was barbecued by the power of faith last time, I had almost caused somebody to commit a crime so it’s better for me to be more careful this time.Now that the wyrmdragon’s incarnation is recovered, it’s time for the lizard now…”
Then, he transformed his transformation power into the nine-tailed lizard from wyrmdragon and pounded at the other half of the Giant-teeth Dragon’s body remnant.
After two to three hours later, the giant beast that had a body size similar to a house only had a thick layer of skin left laying on the mud. The only bulging part had the shape of a human and suddenly, the thick skin at the hind leg was torn out as the human stepped out.
“Raider, the gift for the outlanders is ready!” Upon seeing the bloody Zhang Lisheng tearing open the Giant-teeth Dragon’s body and striding up, the Tudenan headman who had been waiting by the side bowed and said.
Now that the young man was no longer scraping inside the giant beast’s body, blood slowly flowed down along his scales. As he pondered to himself while waiting for his body to become clean, he answered, “If the gift is already ready, pick a few strong women and ask them to send it to the outlanders. Just send it to their stone tribe but don’t say anything. Come back directly after throwing it outside their tribe.”
Then, Zhang Lisheng walked quickly to the row of blood pools in front of the Tudenan’s totem pole. When he saw that the amount of blood in the coagulated blood pool was already enough, he picked up the 17 tribal books of history of the tribal alliance from the ground under the totem pole and threw them one by one into the blood pool.
When the tribal books of history fell into the blood pools that were soaking the fallen totem poles, they let out a shrill cry that sounded almost similar to a human’s cry. In the midst of the sorrowful wail, thick black smoke began to rise from the blood pool and completely shrouded the totem poles and the bark book.
By the time the smoke dispersed, the thick bark books inside the blood pools had already disappeared, leaving only a broken section of the totem poles. Under the illumination of the Tudenan tribal book of history that was emitting a brilliance and had risen to the air, amidst the inexplicable screams, wails and drumming sounds that were gradually echoing, the totem poles’ sections gradually rose into the air and connected to Tudenan’s totem pole in succession.
After that, with the molding of numerous pairs of invisible giant hands, the Tudenan totem pole did not continue to elongate but instead, it thickened in diameter by about twice its previous size, with new spiritual monsters and giant beasts appearing on the sculptures that were re-emerging on it.
These newly emerged sculptures were none other than those powerful ancestors in the history of the ruined tribes from the middle of the island. Most of them were crowded into an inconspicuous corner of the towering stone pillars. Only one unprecedented demon with two heads and four faces, whose body was shrouded with black fog, had occupied a major part of the most eye-catching position on the totem pole.
One of the demon’s head was as thin as a skeleton while its other head had three different faces, corresponding to the three different looks that Zhang Lisheng had after incarnated using the three powers of Money Toad, lizard and wyrmdragon. However, the appearance of the sculpture was much more exaggerated.
After watching it for a long time, the young man finally realized that this was his own new image on the totem pole of Tudenan, prompting him to whisper to himself, “It’s a good thing that I’ve gained some weight recently or otherwise, if those US people see that this skeleton-like face is exactly identical to me, they’d no longer believe me even if I say that my position is not high in Tudenan.”
Then, he ordered Tugra who was by his side, “From now on, never mention my name, Zhang Lisheng, to any Tudenan tribesman! Understood, Tugra?”
“Of course, Great Raider! You’ll soon become the only belief in the island under our feet so it’s time for you to adopt a theonym already.” The Tudenan headman misunderstood the young man’s intentions and became stunned for a moment before responding politely.
“Theonym?” This time, it was Zhang Lisheng’s turn to turn baffled. Casually, he replied, “I don’t have any hurry to give myself a theonym yet. We haven’t conquered Kamando yet, have we? Speaking of this, Tugra, go pick the women who would send the gift to the outlanders and then pick another 100 warriors to escort them. Tell them to set off now!”
“Yes, Raider!” Tugra replied and hurriedly retreated. The young man, on the other hand, looked at the countless aborigines kneeling and worshipping him in front before walking towards the cave leading to the underground river.
The larger the tribe’s scale was, the more reason production should not be procrastinated. Right now, the Tudenan craftsmen had already rebuilt the huge wooden frame that pulled the carts. Not only that, the carts of catches had also begun to be transported out of the Golden River continuously.
Fortunately, the wooden car could not stop Zhang Lisheng’s nihilated body, so, soon enough, he walked through the cave and reached the shore of the underground river.
After showing himself, the young man dissipated all of his transformation power and turned back into a normal person. He wore the clothes that he wore when he came and hugged the tablet-like communication device and leapt into an empty wooden cart before being pulled up by Lohlos to the surface.
Sitting in the wooden cart and not coming out, the young man turned on the communication device. When the interface changed from the bald eagle badge to the map of Shrimp B1 Island, he tapped his finger on an angry face icon on the human gathering place and shouted in English, “Compass here! Compass calling for the Eagle’s Nest. Is anybody there? Is anybody there?”
“Of course! I’ve been waiting for you to contact us, Compass!” A deep voice answered from the communication device.
“General Cole, it’s my honor! To think that I’ve contacted you directly twice. I heard that the tribal fishermen said that the Tudenan’s conquering army has already defeated more than ten tribes from the middle section of Shrimp B1 Island. Is this true?”
“It’s true, Mr. Zhang. I’ve watched the island version of Warcraft for an entire night yesterday. I gotta say, watching a live broadcast is much more exciting and thrilling than watching a video.”
