The Dark King Chapter 855: Sojourn

Chapter 855: Sojourn

After confirming that the flesh and blood of the Aragami wasn’t poisonous, Dudian couldn’t wait to eat the whole piece of flesh in his hand. However, his rationality restrained him. He cut off a small piece of finger, he tasted it in his mouth. It was a bit fishy. He tried to chew it slowly. The piece of flesh was extremely tough but he was the master. The bite force was far superior to that of Amelia.
After chewing for a few minutes, he chewed the meat and slowly swallowed part of it.
The feeling of hunger was alleviated as the meat entered his stomach. He leaned against the rock wall and quietly recuperated.
A few hours passed but Dudian didn’t feel any discomfort. The hunger in his stomach once again hit him. He cut off a small piece and ate it. He continued to rest to save energy.
In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.
During this time, Dudian ate a small piece of the flesh of the Aragami to relieve his hunger. Although he ate a few pieces of meat, his body still didn’t feel any discomfort. There was no other reaction. But after all, this was the flesh of the Aragami that hadn’t rotted for hundreds of years. It came from an unknown Aragami. He didn’t dare to eat too much, as long as he could survive this difficult period.
Haisha’s injuries were slowly recovering. Dudian estimated that she would recover in two or three days.
Amelia stayed on the other side. She seemed to have slowly adapted to the smell of the desolate worm. She went out to look for food. The amount of food she ate was getting more and more. Her physique was getting stronger and stronger. In just a few days she had reached the level of a high-level limit, it was faster than consuming the god’s marrow. Dudian was both envious and regretful. If he could also eat the waste insects to strengthen his constitution then he would have reached the level of the abyss. He would be stronger than ordinary Abyss Walkers!
The cave was filled with the smell of blood and excrement. Fortunately Dudian was used to it as he had been in the toilet for a long time. Amelia didn’t feel embarrassed anymore, after all, the most embarrassing scene was seen by Dudian. It seemed that her temperament had grown a lot in just a few days. She no longer cared about Dudian’s attitude and was no longer easily angered by him.
The three of them stayed in the dark cave and allowed time to pass.
Dudian couldn’t endure the hunger. He skillfully took out a knife and cut off a piece of the flesh of the Aragami. He slowly chewed and swallowed it. Then he closed his eyes to rest.
Half an hour later, Dudian suddenly felt hot all over his body. He was sweating. He opened his eyes in surprise. He looked down to inspect his body. He had been staying in the cold cave for the past few days, the cold air in his right arm would move from time to time. But at this moment, the cold air in his right arm seemed to have disappeared. He didn’t feel cold at all. It was as if he had recovered from the previous ice blood disease.
He looked at his chest and abdomen. Under the surface of his skin, there were complex blood vessels, meridians, and bones. The first thing he looked at was his internal organs. Other than stomach acid and undigested pieces of Aragami meat, there was nothing else, he heaved a sigh of relief, but in the next moment, his expression suddenly changed. He stood up abruptly from the ground, took off the armor on his body, and turned his hand to touch his back.
His movement was very fast. He immediately felt a protruding sarcoma on his back. He was shocked.
At first, he thought that it was a worm that crawled into his armor, but he didn’t expect that the crawling feeling came from the protruding thing under his skin.
When his fingers touched the protruding sarcoma, the sarcoma seemed to have a life of its own. It quickly crawled toward the back of his neck. The squirming feeling was like a naked worm running on his back.
Dudian’s face changed as he twisted his palm. He quickly pressed the sarcoma and blocked its path.
However, when his palm pressed down on the sarcoma, the sarcoma suddenly sank into the depths of his skin.
The sudden appearance of the sarcoma frightened Dudian. Even though he had always been calm, he was frightened by this strange situation. The most important thing was that he smelled the smell of danger and death.
The sarcoma disappeared. He didn’t dare to stop and wait for it to reappear. He immediately squatted down and took off his armor. He leaned against the wall behind him. The Heart Protection Mirror in the middle of the armor reflected light. His field of vision was 270 degrees, his head was slightly tilted. He could see the situation of his back through the heart protection mirror in the armor. He quickly saw that there was a fist-sized sarcoma lying quietly on his back, the color of the sarcoma was very strange. It was golden like liquid metal.
He was very clear about his physical condition. This golden sarcoma had never appeared before. Could it be caused by eating the flesh of the Aragami?
He could only think of one possibility. His face turned pale. He had been eating the flesh of the Aragami for the past few days. He had gradually relaxed but he didn’t expect such a sudden change.
“I have to dig this thing out.”Dudian didn’t dare to let the thing stay in his body. He was scared because of the fast movement of the thing. He immediately took out the dagger from his leggings and stabbed it.
Puff!
He was very fast. The dagger stabbed into his skin and went straight through it. However the moment his skin was pressed, the golden sarcoma quickly slid forward as if it was in danger. It went straight up his spine and slid towards the back of his neck.
Dudian’s face changed. He immediately grabbed the back of the neck and pressed hard. The flesh on the back of the neck was firmly pressed against the cervical vertebrae. In this position, his arm was twisted in a nearly broken position. It looked extremely terrifying.
The golden sarcoma rushed to the front of the back of the neck. It seemed to feel that there was no way forward. It suddenly turned and went around Dudian’s throat. It continued to rush up.
The head was going up.
It was going to enter his brain!
It was an extremely terrifying feeling. Dudian didn’t even think about it. He waved the dagger to cut his throat. This time he used the fastest speed. Puff! The blade cut through his throat, his throat was also broken. The next moment his fingers were like hooks. He reached into his throat and grabbed the golden sarcoma.
The movement was as fast as lightning. But the reaction of the golden sarcoma was much faster than what Dudian had imagined. As he cut his throat, the golden sarcoma quickly retreated and sank into his chest. It seemed that it was accumulating power.
Dudian’s face was ugly. He covered his throat which was bleeding non-stop. If he didn’t rely on his self-healing ability, he wouldn’t have died even if his throat was cut. He wouldn’t have cut his throat so decisively. He only needed to hesitate for a moment, it was very likely that the thing had drilled into his head. At that time he couldn’t imagine what would happen. This feeling reminded him of the first time he got the Splitter’s magic marks.
At that time when the splitter’s parasitic soul worm entered his body it was also a living thing. It rushed towards his brain. Fortunately he was able to stop it in time so the parasitic soul worm had to retreat and return to his chest to live in the magic marks.
He covered his throat to stop the bleeding. At the same time, he looked at the golden sarcoma on his chest. His heart was full of regret. He shouldn’t have eaten the flesh of the Aragami and put himself in such a dangerous situation. However, it was useless to regret now, people would always regret when they encounter worse things. They would rather go back to the previous situation. Perhaps when the worse situation appeared, he would be glad that the current situation was good enough.
The golden sarcoma stayed in his chest for a while. Then it suddenly moved fast again and slid to the back of Dudian’s neck.
Dudian immediately swung the dagger and cut open the back of his neck. As long as it passed by, he would be able to take it out.
The golden sarcoma seemed to be “Aware”of this. It quickly stopped and then slowly sank. After a while, it quickly rushed to Dudian’s throat again.
Dudian used his hands to block the throat and waited for it to attack.
The golden sarcoma stopped halfway and then continued to turn to the back of the neck.
Dudian used both hands to cover the neck. Blood gushed out and dyed his palms red. He felt weaker and weaker. There was a trace of anxiety in his heart. He slowly used his fingers to repair the wound on his throat, at the same time, he felt that his brain was dizzy due to lack of oxygen.
After repeated attempts, the golden sarcoma seemed to know that it was too risky to rush to Dudian’s head. It sank again but didn’t stop. This time it directly rushed to Dudian’s chest where the magic marks of the splitter were, the next moment, Dudian felt that the magic marks of the splitter on his chest seemed to come back to life. It gently squirmed and confronted the golden sarcoma.
Dudian’s face was full of shock as his mind almost went blank.
In his impression, the splitter’s parasitic soul worm had already died and become a magic mark. But at this moment, it had come back to life!
However, although it had “Come back to life”, Dudian found that it didn’t return to the appearance of a parasitic soul worm. Instead, it turned into a dark mucus-like strip. It looked like a worm but also like a pool of conscious mucus, it didn’t give way to the golden sarcoma.
The golden sarcoma didn’t hesitate and quickly pounced on it. The sarcoma turned into a pool of golden mucus and entangled with the magic marks.
The next moment, the dark black magic marks were entangled by the golden liquid. The area of the golden liquid was increasing but the dark black magic marks were getting smaller and smaller until they were completely wrapped. It was as if they were swallowed and disappeared.
Dudian was stunned. He quickly thought of one thing. Could it be that his magic marks were swallowed? Could he enter the magic body of the splitter? Dudian was worried. He wanted to enter the magic body to verify. However he thought that if he entered the magic body then his body’s structure would change. If the golden sarcoma took advantage of this gap to enter his brain then he might not be able to stop it in time.
He endured the verification and continued to watch.
He saw that the golden sarcoma didn’t change in size after it wrapped the magic mark. It paused for a moment then suddenly turned and rushed towards his right arm.
At this time, Dudian felt the cold air in his right arm as if it had come back to life. It was so cold that his body was trembling.
The golden sarcoma quickly came to his right shoulder. It didn’t hesitate and directly rushed into his arm.
The tissue in his right arm was completely crystallized. It looked like a transparent ice block. When the golden sarcoma rushed in, the cold air in his arm became even thicker. It was as if he had been invaded by an enemy, the bones in his arm were protruding with sharp ice spikes.
This scene was too strange. It was as if his right arm was conscious.
Dudian was at a loss. Soon, he saw that the cold air in his right arm covered the surface of the golden sarcoma. There were faint signs of ice. The golden sarcoma seemed to feel that something was wrong. It stopped and withdrew in the opposite direction.
When it retracted back to his right shoulder, the surface had completely frozen. It stopped. Then the cold air on the surface became thicker and thicker. It completely froze on his right shoulder.
This series of changes made Dudian’s heart skip a beat. At the same time, he felt waves of cold. First, there was the inexplicable appearance of this kind of bacteria-like golden sarcoma in his body. Then there was the “Conscious”change in his right arm, he felt that he couldn’t understand his own body. However, the change in his right arm could be a reaction of stress, just like how water would boil when it was heated.
If it was a reaction of stress, why would the golden sarcoma stimulate his right arm?
At this time, there was a dizziness in front of his eyes. Dudian quickly took out the first-aid medicine from his backpack and smeared it on his throat. After a while, his cut throat and crushed throat gradually showed signs of healing, the first aid medicine he brought were the top healing medicines in the giant wall. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were divine medicines.
While his throat was healing, Dudian stared at the frozen golden sarcoma on his right arm. He was lost in thought.
The cold air in his right arm was caused by the overconsumption of cold crystals in the brain of the undeads. The golden sarcoma should have appeared after eating the flesh of the Aragami. The cold air would be stimulated by the golden sarcoma. There should be some connection between the two.
After a long time Dudian suddenly woke up. He thought of the magic marks of the splitter which he had swallowed. He looked at his chest. The magic mark was gone. There was only a faint black mark. He quickly grabbed the blade, he entered the magic body in the same way as before.
Soon, the blade melted and turned into mucus which covered his body. The next moment, the familiar feeling of power covered his body. Dudian entered the magic body state again. He was relieved but soon he found that.., his right arm didn’t turn into the splitter’s sharp blade. Instead, the ice crystal had become more serious. His arm had become one meter long. His fingers were no longer visible. Instead, it was an ice claw!
