Chapter 148 - 136: The path of the heavy pupil is invincible, why borrow another’s bones._1
inside the small world, the golden portal had completely vanished, releasing
an array of terrifying native creatures.
Soon, this place would transform into a bona-fide killing field.
Including Tu Wa Zi and others, a vast array of creatures rushed towards the exit, for if they were left behind, they could potentially be trapped here, fated to face a tidal wave of indigenous creatures – a near certain death.
In the distance.
A gigantic butterfly, vibrant with colors, took flight, trailing iridescent streams of light, also rushing on its way.
This butterfly was terrifying; its body was covered in numerous runes, dazzling as if shrouded in radiant glow.
Especially wherever it passed, with thunderous rumbles and an electrical haze,
no creature dared to approach, all avoided it from a distance.
“Ah, it’s that little butterfly!”
Tu Wa Zi and Gu Chen’s eyes sparkled, eager to catch it but eventually decided against it.
Although this butterfly was less than one meter in size, it was rather extraordinary, called the Sky-splitting Demon Butterfly. Its entire body was covered in runes, each inch capable of emitting powerful beams of light. It was indeed formidable.
“Shushushu…”
At that moment,
High up in the sky, a sudden flurry of send-down white fluff filled the air.
Soft fluff fluttering around, in an instant obscuring heaven and earth, as if a goose-feather blizzard was underway.
The fluff rapidly took root and sprouted upon contact with flesh, growing into a colossal plant within a few seconds. It was terrifyingly peculiar.
“It’s the Cursed Magic Mustache of the Puma Tree, wanting to seize the essence of our flesh and blood to strengthen itself. Quickly hide!”
A creature exclaimed, face pale from terror, shaking uncontrollably.
Legend has it that in ancient times, a fully grown Puma Tree scattered its
Cursed Magic Mustache all over the Wilderness, absorbing the essence of countless powerful beings which turned the place into a bloody battlefield, in the era of this demonic tree’s rampant growth, even the strongest Sacrificial Spirits worshipped by the clans didn’t dare to confront it. This tree, which even dared to parasitize divine spirits, once ruled over various eras, leading to an extremely dreadful age.
The scene from those times came back to the mortal world today. Although it’s nowhere near a billionth as exaggerated as it once was, it’s nonetheless startling.
Numerous creatures shed blood, and as the magic seed parasitised their bodies, their essence was sucked dry and turned into mummies in an instant. The Three-headed Feng Luan also lost blood. Its size made it difficult to avoid, and soon after its body was infested with a lot of Cursed Magic Mustache.
The terrifying magic seed quickly grew, breaking through its flesh in the cold air Thankfully, Lin Zhuang detected it in time and quickly cut off the parasitized flesh. Otherwise, this Species of the Ancient Times would have possibly perished today.
“Give me your flesh and blood essence!’
At the horizon, a figure several meters large appeared.
It was the Puma Tree. Its roots were robust and sturdy, walking on the ground like human feet. Although it was a tree, it had five senses on its trunk, capable of speaking and understanding the human language.
“We seem to have no grudges against you, why do you target us?” Lin Zhuang deflected, his face cold. He did not remember ever encountering this demonic tree before.
He and the tree had never crossed paths before, but for some reason, it had naturally targeted them, which irked Lin Zhuang.
The Puma Tree launched its attack without replying, seeming determined to turn the group in front of him into its nourishment.
Its original target was actually another naughty human child. However, the appearance of the group changed its target. Each of them had vigorous vitality, which was just the nourishment it had been dreaming of.
Above the ground, the branches and leaves of the Puma Tree were lush and drooping with green dew, covered in radiant light. From time to time it shed some Cursed Magic Mustache, flashing mysterious runes, and performing dazzling treasured techniques that enveloped the area. It was truly formidable.
“This thing is so bad, we must take it back to be burned as firewood.” Tu Wa Zi and Gu Chen, among others, were resentful. They leapt off the bird’s back and charged towards the direction of the Puma Tree.
Not to be outdone, Lin Zhuang and Lin Chen followed suit and attacked as well.
Since it was evident that the tree was coming for them, they needed to neutralize it as quickly as possible, or they might end up trapped here.
“Bang Bang Bang…”
In an instant, countless eruptions spewed from the volcanoes in Cave Heaven above the canopy, forming a belt of conflagration. Hot air gushed out, as if trying to incinerate everything around…
The Puma Tree was horrified, it never expected these four individuals to be so terrifying. Not only was their vitality unprecedented, but the fluctuations emanating from the Cave Heaven were also exaggerated, blazing brightly, enough to even burn its magic mustache…
Almost instantly, the area seemed to experience a massive earthquake. Many peaks were leveled, transformed into flat land. Endless glorious light surged up into the sky, enveloping this area, the light dazzling, the ancient trees shattered…
Eventually, this arrogant tree demon was beaten half to death and sealed into a beast skin bag. Tu Wa Zi and the others were all injured, parasitized by demon seeds several times, but fortunately, they dug them out together with the flesh at the first opportunity.
“We’ll have to burn this thing when we get back!”
Tu Wa Zi insisted fiercely, nursing some injuries, not enough to be fatal, but enough for him to grimace in pain. At this moment, he looked full of resentment.
Meanwhile.
Outside the Severed Mountain Range.
Heads were moving, countless terrifying auras stood tall, all of them were the elderly figures of various forces, all anxiously waiting for their own prodigies at this moment.
The golden gate vanished, this miniature world would soon be shut, regardless of the results, it was time to leave.
“Someone has come out!”
Soon.
A group of people emerged from the small world, clothes ruffled, bodies covered with blood, but not seriously injured.
“I carried out the mission successfully and gained some opportunities!”
“It’s good that you’re okay, it’s good that you’re okay!
Some people were relieved as soon as they were greeted.
Unfortunately, some people’s faces were heavy, because their prodigies hadn’t returned yet, possibly having perished in this small world.
The appearance of Lin Zhuang’s group immediately caught everyone’s attention.
They couldn’t help it, they were too unconventional compared to the other forces, although each one of them was injured, their faces were ecstatic as if they were showing off.
“Stone Toughness has made it out, reincarnation of the double-eyed divine!” someone exclaimed looking towards the exit.
There was a youth, slim and strong, with loose black hair, mysterious double eyes, full of vigor, dragging out a huge ancient beast.
“It’s the whole grown-up Species of the Ancient Times, this is so terrifying!” A group of older people were horrified. This youngster was too terrifying, accomplishing something his peers would never be able to.
After Stone Toughness, some other figures came out, and then after a long time, no one else came out.
“Where’s my grandson?!”
An angry roar echoed, resounding across the fields, many people retreated back in fear, even the elders of the major forces were taken aback.
It was a white tiger.
Pure as jade, with a few golden stripes, the body was pure and flawless, like cast in glass, radiating a mighty aura.
At this moment, it was standing on an ancient chariot, looking extremely gloomy.
This was a king from Xiling Beast Mountain, waiting here, hoping to see his most beloved offspring emerge, but he never did.
“Grandfather, I’m here!”
The next moment, a startled cry echoed, it was the Little White Tiger, crying desperately, but soon it was suppressed by a slap from Tu Wa Zi.
“Stop shouting, you’ll attract the bad guys!” Tu Wa Zi hushed, reminding him in a low voice, they had made quite a few enemies in that small world.
“With my grandfather here, who dares to act recklessly?” The Little White Tiger looked arrogant again, only to be followed by another punch and a sock stuffed in his mouth.
“Big Kitty, are you trying to rebel?” Tu Wa Zi looked aggrieved. He felt that he hadn’t mistreated this Big Cat along the journey.
“You insect, how dare you use my grandson as a ride… ah… you even stuffed a sock in his mouth!!!”
A roar resounded, the King White Tiger heard the anomaly, surveyed his surroundings with a fixed gaze, finally recognizing his pitiful grandson who was being ridden by Tu Wa Zi under his buttocks, his face filled with outrage and disbelief..
