Chapter 1017 Mysterious Syllable, Strength Deprivation (1)
The Golden-Winged Roc King didn't know anything and didn't dare to ask.
He stood there stiffly, not daring to move, as cold sweat streamed down his forehead.
Finally, the Golden-Winged Roc King couldn't take it anymore and stammered, "Lord…"
"Hmm?" Zhou Shu finally made a sound.
The Golden-Winged Roc King summoned up his courage and asked, "Lord, do you have any orders?"
"Golden-Winged Roc King, are you afraid of fire?" Zhou Shu suddenly asked.
The Golden-Winged Roc King thought for a moment and said, "That depends on what kind of fire.
"If it's ordinary fire, it won't be able to burn me. If it's the True Fire released by the fire race, it can injure me. But I'm stronger than them, so they won't be able to burn me."
"What if I get you to stand still and get burned?" Zhou Shu asked.
Golden-Winged Roc King: "…"
Am I a fool? Why should I stand still and let someone burn me?
But he didn't dare to say this to Zhou Shu.
After some thought, the Golden-Winged Roc King said, "Then, I'm afraid."
"If you're afraid…" Zhou Shu pondered. "Then, are you afraid of pain?"
The Golden-Winged Roc King held his head high. "I'm the Golden-Winged Roc King. I'm not even afraid of death, let alone mere pain."
"Are you really not afraid?" Zhou Shu stared at the Golden-Winged Roc King.
"Yes!" The Golden-Winged Roc King inexplicably felt a little guilty. He recalled that even he didn't know if it had really happened or if he had been dreaming. It might not be painful to watch his stomach being cut open, but he didn't want to suffer this feeling a second time.
He would rather be punched in the stomach in battle than be slaughtered like a sheep.
"Lord, I can lead battles for you. I can kill enemies for you!" The Golden-Winged Roc King immediately expressed his loyalty. He had to show his usefulness. Otherwise, what if Zhou Shu treated him as trash?
"There's no need to be so nervous. I won't kill you," Zhou Shu said. "You're still useful."
The Golden-Winged Roc King heaved a sigh of relief. If Zhou Shu didn't use him, he was afraid that he would be useless.
If he was useless, he would be dead meat.
Boom!
Before he could finish exhaling, he felt his vision go black. He didn't know where he was.
"Lord!" he exclaimed. The golden wings on his back spread out with a whoosh, and he looked around warily.
At this moment, he heard a soft sound.
Whoosh!
A small flame appeared in his field of vision. Right on the heels of it, the small flame swelled with the wind.
The torrential flame instantly enveloped the Golden-Winged Roc King's body. He tried his best to dodge, but he bumped into a wall with a bang.
The Golden-Winged Roc King let out a tragic cry. He charged left and right, but there was no way out.
"Lord!" the Golden-Winged Roc King shouted. "I'm afraid of fire and pain. Spare me. I won't dare to do it again!"
The Golden-Winged Roc King wished he could slap himself a few times. Why did he have to say that he wasn't afraid of fire and pain?
Look at what happened now.
He struggled to hold on and begged Zhou Shu for mercy.
"Golden-Winged Roc King, cut open your stomach, leave behind the ball of flesh in your stomach, and then you can leave," Zhou Shu said.
After he made a simple attempt, he found that he could indeed activate the Cosmic Cauldron.
He hesitated for a long time before finally making a decision.
He would take a gamble!
If he didn't deal with the mysterious person, he wouldn't be at ease.
It was fine if he didn't have any suitable methods previously. But since the Cosmic Cauldron could possibly refine him, Zhou Shu wouldn't be a man if he still hesitated.
A man should be resolute when he made a decision. If he was indecisive, he wouldn't be able to achieve anything great!
"Huh?" The Golden-Winged Roc King's expression changed drastically. Cut open my stomach?
Why is there a ball of flesh in my stomach?!
Why don't I feel it?!
Lord, what did you do to me when you cut open my stomach?!
If Zhou Shu could hear him, he would definitely activate the Cosmic Cauldron and burn him to ashes.
Huff—
The fire was getting stronger and stronger. The Golden-Winged Roc King felt as if his entire body was about to burn, and he was about to collapse.
"Alright, I'll cut it open. I'll cut it open, okay?"
A ruthless expression flashed across the Golden-Winged Roc King's face. His hands were like knives as he suddenly stabbed them into his stomach.
Swish!
The sound of flesh being torn rang out as the Golden-Winged Roc King forcefully tore open a hole in his stomach.
His face was ferocious, and he roared like a wild beast. "Come out!"
The Golden-Winged Roc King never expected that there was really a ball of flesh in his stomach!
A ball of flesh!
As soon as the ball of flesh left his body, it was instantly swallowed by the flames.
The blood on the surface of the ball of flesh instantly evaporated. Through the blurry barrier, the Golden-Winged Roc King seemed to see a figure inside the ball of flesh.
A thought suddenly appeared in the Golden-Winged Roc King's mind. Is this my flesh and blood?
The next moment, he was shifted outside of the Cosmic Cauldron and landed on the ground with a bang.
"Heal your injuries yourself. You've made a contribution this time. I'll reward you later."
