Chapter 456: Slime Taotie, Devour
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
There were a total of four separate battlefields where fights were happening at the same time. They were Chu Feng against Hewitt, Taotie against the butcher, Luo Ya against the crocodile python, and the weaponized warrior against wolf fang,
In addition, there was also the wolf that was going to bare its fangs to Chu Feng and the others at some unknown time, the octagonal tower tool spirit.
Although Luo Ya and Taotie were fighting on their own, their Beastmaster would pay attention to them from time to time. In fact, their battles with the crocodile python and butcher respectively weren’t that bad. Due to the tacit understanding between them, the human and his beasts didn’t display their full combat strength.
The difference was that Luo Ya and Taotie weren’t distracted, and their restraints on themselves were smaller. As for Chu Feng, even if he was distracted and had restrained his true combat strength countless times, he could still easily face the enemy!
Of course, Luo Ya and Taotie were much weaker than Chu Feng, so it was more difficult for them to fight a true God. If one were to compare, it was similar to the situation of the weaponized warrior against wolf fang.
Under true God-level attacks, wolf fang didn’t last long before he was heavily injured. As for the other two “wolves” that he had fought, the butcher and crocodile python’s battle rhythm was also being disrupted by Taotie and Luo Ya… The balance of the battlefield was gradually tilting.
In the battle between Taotie and the butcher, the former mainly used other skills to complement the devour skill, constantly weakening the latter’s strength. The latter naturally did not want to be reduced to fodder, so he fought back!
Taotie had lost his human form. After putting away all his disguised human features, he simply looked like a suspicious semi-fluid blob of gel.
On his slime-like body were an eye, a mouth, and even an arm and a leg. Logically speaking, it should look particularly strange.
However, the sight was still okay during the battle. The reason was simple. More occurrences were stranger than this. The semi-fluid gel, which was more flexible than a cat, occasionally stretched out countless meat thorns like a sea urchin. The gel stretched in the direction of the enemy and unknowingly became tentacles.
These tentacles didn’t carry suction cups and thus didn’t seem to have much lethality. Perhaps it was because he had seen Taotie’s boy form, the butcher was still laughing wildly and unrestrainedly as he brandished his machete.
“Little monster, I advise you to scram! Scram as far as you can! If you don’t, then I’ll have no choice but to use my old buddy, who has accompanied me for many years, to chop you and your beastmaster into countless pieces and smash you into a pulp!” As he said that, he fiercely smashed his sledgehammer that was attached to a thick iron at Taotie, who still retained part of his human characteristics. The sledgehammer, which was large enough to cover an entire person, smashed Taotie into a pancake.
“Hahaha… as expected, an immortal can’t even withstand a single blow!” As he laughed, the butcher, who felt that the humanoid beast Taotie was nothing to worry about, gripped his left hand and pulled on the thick iron chain that was connected to the sledgehammer. However, the sledgehammer seemed to be stuck in the air. He simply couldn’t pull it back!
The butcher thought that something had gone wrong, so he pulled again with all his strength. However, other than the chain being tightened, there was no other response. Once, twice, thrice…
The brawny man, who had originally thought that victory was in his grasp, wanted to pull the sledgehammer back and deliver a few more strikes before heading to kill the Beastmaster. Seeing that he couldn’t pull it back after a few tries, he couldn’t help but raise his thick eyebrows, already on the verge of losing his temper, “Get back… Here!!”
“Pata!”
“Bang!”
Three sounds overlapped, attracting the attention of the other contestants. Chu Feng took a closer look. It turned out that just as the butcher was using all his strength to pull the thick iron chain back again, the spot where the head of the chain was connected to the sledgehammer suddenly broke, falling into the air.
At that moment when he was caught off guard, the brawny man couldn’t stop in time, and he immediately fell due to the effect of the sudden break. Just this unexpected fall caused a large area of the void to collapse!
Chu Feng, who was well-versed in the abilities of his beasts, wasn’t worried about Taotie. While he was distracted as he dealt with the God King’s attack, he continued to pay attention to the battle situation of the other two beast team.
At this moment, on the battlefield where Taotie was, the butcher’s expression was extremely unsightly. After some difficulty in stopping to fall into the void, he took a glance at where his sledgehammer was, and his eyes widened to the size of copper bells.
“How, how could this be?!” In the blink of an eye, the sledgehammer that he had seen just a moment ago was gone! The burly man looked in disbelief at the ball of a gelatinous substance that had turned into an oval-shaped sphere. The eyes, mouth, hand, and leg…
His gaze landed on the giant mouth. He seemed to have understood something, but he still could not believe it. One had to know that the sledgehammer was made of darksteel diamond. Even an immortal diamond turtle that was as solid as a beginner God Marquis would not be able to withstand a heavy blow from the hammer!
Yet, not only had the beast before him which was clearly an immortal of an unknown race withstand the heavy blow of the huge hammer and didn’t seem to be injured at all, but it was even able to devour his darksteel diamond hammer?!
“Just what is going on…” The hardness of the darksteel diamond was ranked in the top 10 in the entire universe. To be able to swallow such an existence, just what kind of monster was this? Thinking of this, the butcher subconsciously lowered his head to look at the thick chain wrapped around his left fist and the huge machete in his right hand. Then, he unconsciously took a step back.
The audience who were watching the battle clearly saw the battle situation as well.
“F*ck, this, this is a f*cking monster!!”
“An immortal beast that can even devour the darksteel diamond. Other than the word “monster”, there’s simply no other word to describe it!”
“As expected, a beast that can transform into a human isn’t simple.”
“Holy Shit… Where did God Chu find such a powerful beast? I suspect that the monster that looks like a slime right now might even be able to swallow a true God!”
“I don’t know if it can swallow the butcher, but the butcher’s weapons are all made from darksteel diamond, so those definitely can be swallowed.”
“So, the butcher is going to disarm?”
At the scene, Taotie quickly approached the stunned butcher. The latter suddenly came back to his senses and turned around to escape, but he found that there were slippery tentacles in all directions… There was nowhere to run!
The butcher was greatly shocked. He kept using the iron chain on his left hand to block the semi-fluid tentacles that were swinging at him. His right hand was also waving the machete, continuously chopping the tentacles before him.
However, no matter how he blocked and hacked, the tentacles around him continued to increase. In less than a minute, he could no longer block or hack.
This was because he was currently in a situation that some people had guessed. As a God Marquis, he had been forced to hand over his weapon because of an immortal-level beast. The darksteel diamond chain had already been swallowed, and the darksteel diamond machete had also been swept away…
“Is it my turn next?!” The unarmed butcher was panicking and scared. Even his weapons had been snatched, so how long would it be before he died?! One had to know that he no longer had the right to resurrect. If he died, he was really dead!
It was also at this moment that the contempt the butcher had shown when he first saw the slippery tentacles had completely disappeared. He finally understood why the tentacles that the other party had transformed into did not have suction cups…
“There’s no need for suction cups. The surfaces of the tentacles are covered in devouring mouths!”
However, no matter how much he regretted his underestimation of the enemy, it was already too late. Countless tentacles interweaved into a huge net, and in an instant, they connected to form a membrane, wrapping the burly man up into a dumpling. If nothing unexpected happened, the filling of the dumpling would soon be completely digested.
