Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating

182 Great Grand Master vs War General, An Unfair Battle?

“You think this is the end?” Du Feng turned his head and looked at the chaotic beast attacks in Lunan City that were gradually being put down. He took out a white jade whistle. “All this is just the beginning. It’s not just Lunan City, but Boulder Rock City, Northern Chill City, and even the entire jurisdiction of the Gamma Military Zone, will also become the paradise of Fearsome Beasts. Hoho! Hahaha…”

The whistle blew with some kind of special rhythm. As it floated out, a terrifying rhythmic movement resonated throughout the blood-sucking wasteland.

Tweet twee… The sound was deep and low, with a sonorous tone.

At this moment, Wang Lu, Niu Xianzu and the rest, and even the woman in white and Uncle Fu deep in the blood-sucking wasteland, heard the sound of the whistle at once, and they could not help but frown.

!!

Roar! An anguished roar rang out, and the SS-class Fearsome Beast that was in deep slumber in the blood-sucking wasteland suddenly opened its bloodshot eyes. As its evil aura soared skyward, the entire blood-sucking wasteland shook and cracks appeared everywhere.

The poisonous gas which had been purified by the moonlight, surged again and became more and more violent, spreading outward.

The body of the woman in white shuddered violently once and a trace of blood flowed out of the corner of her mouth. She said with a grim face, “Someone is controlling that SS-class Fearsome Beast with the sound of that whistle.”

“Dammit! It must be Du Feng. Hunt him down for me, no matter what it takes!” Wang Lu roared out in fury.

The cultivators of the First Military Unit took the antidote pills and put on anti-poison masks, and then entered the blood-sucking wasteland under this double protection. Wang Lu stationed himself on the outside, directing further works on the poisonous gas isolation zone.

“Hahaha… the massacre officially begins!” Du Feng gave a sinister laugh. He slammed fiercely on the ground and a big crack opened up with a loud boom. A Fearsome Beast that resembled a pile of slime more than thirty meters tall with its whole body covered with tentacles, broke out of the ground.

The face of this Fearsome Beast was contorted as if it had gone insane. It tried to trample this tiny human before its eyes into dust. Du Feng gently blew on the whistle and the eyes of this Fearsome Beast immediately turned dull. It stood frozen in place, like a puppet.

“The Thousand Tentacles Demonic Beast should be sufficient to deal with you guys,” Du Feng leaped and landed on the shoulders of the Thousand Tentacles Demonic Beast. He then put on a black demonic mask, and waved his hand. “Let’s go.”

The Thousand Tentacles Demonic Beast crept forward, moving through the blood-sucking wasteland. Concealed in the poisonous gas, it killed the Gamma Military Zone’s cultivators, one after another.

“Everyone stay in formation! Do not panic!” A platoon captain perked up his ears and detected some movement. Immediately after that, the ground began shaking, as if a giant was approaching. As a terrifying aura swept out, the platoon captain shouted at once.

The entire platoon of cultivators formed a line of defense back to back, yet… This was all in vain. Under the cover of the poisonous gas, tentacles stabbed out with unparalleled penetrating power, piercing through one cultivator after another.

The corpses were raised high into the air before being torn into pieces!

“S-class Fearsome Beast. No! It’s a SS-class (simulacrum) Fearsome Beast!” This platoon captain’s eyes widened in terror when he saw the huge body of the Thousand Tentacles Demonic Beast. Then, seeing the person on the Thousand Tentacles Demonic Beast’s shoulder, he yelled out, “Who are you?”

As he spoke, he backed up slowly. The GPS device in his hand was sending out a location signal.

Du Feng shook his head and said with a sneer, “Trying to send a location signal? That’s fine. Let them all come and I can kill them all in one clean sweep.”

Seeing that the other party had seen through his intentions, the platoon captain’s face changed drastically. In the next second, a tentacle pierced through his body and sucked out his blood and bone marrow. His body was drained away until only a piece of skin was left.

“A mere Great Martial Master provides too little energy. Don’t worry. Soon you will be able to feast.” Du Feng said softly.

On the ground, a GPS beacon’s red light was flashing and sending out signals. The Thousand Tentacles Demonic Beast turned around and slunk away into the poisonous gas fog, letting out a low, deep growl.

In the mineral ore vein,

Lu Yu was still unaware of what was happening outside. He was leading Zhou Zhongzheng and the father and son duo, Zhang Yu and Zhang Huaian, searching for a way out of the mineral ore vein.

“The entire mineral ore vein is oriented such that it rises from the low northwest point to a high southeast point. It’s just like a crouching dragon about to raise its head. We only need to find the place where the dragon raises its head and we can find the exit out of this place.”

“And the dragon’s eye is like a place where the essence of the vein gathers, while its mouth is where the essence leaks out. We must not go to the wrong place. Otherwise there is a great possibility that it will take a lot of effort to get out…”

Zhou Zhong was talking eloquently behind him, Zhang Huaian and Zhang Yu exchanged looks with each other. That guy really lived up to his reputation as an official from the capital. Although the father and son did not know these things, they understood the gist.

This was the first time Lu Yu heard of such a connection with the mineral ore veins. As he was ignorant of these things, he was amazed and said, “Inspector Zhou, I did not expect that you would be aware of these things.”

Zhou Zhongzheng said with a laugh, “Hehe! It’s always good to have more skills. I only know a bit about such things.”

Ever since Lu Yu led him to escape from the blood-sucking wasteland, Zhou Zhongzheng looked up to Lu Yu as the leader. His attitude now was a complete about-turn from his earlier attitude.

Under Zhou Zhongzheng’s directions, Lu Yu went along a mineral ore corridor. At the halfway point, he found that there were signs of man-made excavation in the mineral ores here. He frowned at once.

“Could it be that someone has already discovered this place before us?” Zhou Zhongzheng was also amazed.

Suddenly, at the bright area ahead, Lu Yu saw several figures digging up the mineral ores as fast as possible. They seemed very anxious, and did not even notice the damage they caused in the process of digging.

And the digging figures also discovered the presence of Lu Yu and companions. Their expressions froze instantly and they stopped what they were doing.

“Lu Yu, it’s you! You are still not dead!” When Wang Bo, who was conscripted to do hard labor, saw Lu Yu, his eyes widened immediately as if he had seen a ghost.

When the others saw Lu Yu, they all exhibited the same shocked expression collectively. Ying Qufeng was stunned at first, then he said in a low voice, “Lu Yu, you’re still not dead!”

“I say! Can’t you guys say something different? This is very boring.” Lu Yu looked at Ying Qufeng with an ambiguous expression. Looking at the scene in front of him, Lu Yu understood at once and a look of realization swept over his face.

It turned out that this mineral ore vein was first discovered by the Ying family. They concealed it and did not report it to the authorities, intending to usurp this huge mineral ore vein for themselves.

The black-clad woman appeared from nowhere, her face extraordinarily grim.

Not only did Lu Yu not die in the blood-sucking wasteland, but he also miraculously found this mineral ore vein. Now that he had bumped into them while they were digging for mineral ores, they could not allow Lu Yu to leave here alive to publicize this news.

Otherwise, once the federal government knew, the Ying family would be in a lot of trouble.

Seeing the killing intent in the eyes of the black-clad woman, Lu Yu narrowed his eyes and said, “What? You want to silence us here?”

“Hoho! Mr. Lu, I honestly did not expect you to leave the blood-sucking wasteland alive. But I don’t know if you will still be able to leave this place alive this time?” The black-clad woman laughed scornfully and said, “Don’t think that after killing Ying Qu, you can now fight with a War General. The gap between us is not something that can be bridged by pure strength.”

An aura of a War General began gathering, forming a domain. The moment it enveloped the whole area, everything within this space froze in place.

The Great Grand Master and the War General existed in totally different dimensions. In their eyes, all existences below the level of a War General were like ants which moved slowly. Killing such creatures was like giving them a supra-dimensional blow that was beyond their comprehension.

In her opinion, the fact that Ying Qu could die at the hands of a Great Grand Master was just carelessness on Ying Qu’s part. And he was resting on his laurels, leading to a decline in his battle prowess. However, the black-clad woman was different. She was always battling, and was not someone that a War General raised in a comfortable environment like Ying Qu could compare to.
