Emperor Wu Shihuang's handwriting, do not go out of the Milky Way border
Chapter 941 One-on-One Battle Against the Lake Monster
“It hasn’t eaten for three days now, including the day before yesterday, yesterday, and today,” said the Great Lord Yamantaka.
"We plan to release a wild dog over there later to lure it out. After being starved for three days, it will definitely rush out without hesitation once it smells the scent of prey. Once we lure it out, we'll try to kill it this time."
After listening to the story told by the Holy Venerable Daweide and the others, Ying Zheng couldn't help but give them a thumbs up.
"What's at stake!"
“It’s good that you’re back; this gives us a better chance of success,” said the Holy One Yamantaka.
"Mm-hmm," Ying Zheng nodded in response.
The Holy Venerable Yamantaka and his companions also prepared a set of leather armor for Ying Zheng, which was made of linen and wild dog skin.
In addition, there was a long spear.
To Ying Zheng's surprise, the spear was made entirely of metal, with only a few rust spots.
"This is?"
“We found it while we were exploring,” said the Venerable Yamantaka.
As he spoke, he pointed in a direction, the very direction from which Ying Zheng and his group had originally come.
"Over there?" Ying Zheng asked, somewhat surprised.
“Yes, that’s it.” The Holy Lord of Great Power nodded in confirmation.
"After crossing the mountain from the village, there are large, steep mountain ranges that are difficult to traverse. After crossing two mountains, we came to a cliff. It is said that the old clan chief and his people used to come from there by using a suspended ladder on the cliff. But because of the passage of time, the ladder has broken. It will not be possible to repair it in a short time."
"So we explored in the opposite direction, the direction we came from."
At this point, the Holy Lord Yamantaka paused, "Do you know what we'll encounter if we explore to the right from where we first entered the Illusionary Realm?"
Ying Zheng shook his head subconsciously.
"After the wasteland comes a swamp!" said the Great Lord of Might.
"The swamp is teeming with poisonous insects and snakes, and also with roaming zombies!"
“I asked the old chieftain, and those zombies might be people from the village. Back then, because of a plague, the villagers went into the swamp to find a way to cure it. Many people died there, but they still brought back the method to cure the plague!”
"Such a thing actually happened!" Ying Zheng's expression hardened slightly.
The epidemic in the village was resolved because of the protection provided by the disease control agency.
The old patriarch said that this blessing was something his grandfather's generation had paid a huge price for.
“We tried to deal with those zombies,” said the Venerable Vajrabhairava. “Those guys were terrifyingly powerful.”
"Our arrows couldn't do any damage to them at all; they seemed to be impervious to swords and spears!"
"Even the lake monsters will be injured if they are hit by our arrows. Those zombies are truly terrifying. Moreover, they move incredibly fast. Their only weakness is that, like the lake monsters, these zombies seem unable to leave the swamp area within a certain range!"
"They seem to be guarding something, but they just keep wandering around!"
"Mmm." Ying Zheng nodded in agreement.
He then remarked with a slight sigh, "It seems there are still many secrets waiting for us to explore here."
“Yes,” Mahadeva nodded.
"In any case, we must at least explore the area around our Hongmeng Town thoroughly."
"We found this gun while exploring the swamp. We asked the old chieftain, and he said it must have been left behind by the villagers from the past."
As he spoke, His Holiness the Great Yamantaka pointed to a spot on the shaft of the spear.
Ying Zheng glanced at it; there were rusted and blurred patterns engraved there.
“This is the will of the Emerald City,” the Venerable Mahade explained. “This spear is a fine piece of equipment forged in the Emerald City.”
"Mm-hmm," Ying Zheng nodded in response.
Holding the gun in his hand, he could indeed feel its extraordinary nature.
Although the gun is somewhat rusty, it is heavy and extremely tough.
He reached out and wiped the gun barrel with his sleeve, removing some rust and revealing a cold gleam.
"We asked the old patriarch, and he said this spear has a special property called Bloodlust! When killing an enemy, it can absorb the energy from the enemy's blood to heal the wielder's injuries and restore the wielder's energy! This spear will also regain its former cold gleam during the killing process," said the Great Vajra Saint Venerable.
Upon hearing what the Great Vajra Deity said, Ying Zheng subconsciously focused his mind on observing the spear in his hand.
Sure enough, the gun's attributes immediately became apparent, including a bloodthirsty characteristic!
"As expected of products from Emerald City!" Ying Zheng couldn't help but exclaim.
Even a standard piece of equipment is so exquisite. Emerald City, as an eternal cosmic civilization, truly possesses an astonishingly profound foundation. They have likely been operating in this Canglan Fantasy Realm for countless years.
“You shall use this spear,” said the Great Lord of Vajra. “After it is severely wounded and on the verge of death, it will surely hide in the lake and never come out again. In that case, it will most likely die little by little, which would be a great waste.”
“We need you to deliver the fatal blow,” said the Holy One Yamantaka.
"Hiss!" Ying Zheng gasped softly, but then nodded. "I understand."
Unlike Ying Zheng and the others, the later Hunyuan Supremes found it much easier to break through.
After they entered, they were all led by the Great Vajra Saint and others to the birthplace of the wild dogs. After the Great Vajra Saint and the others captured the wild dogs, the Primordial Supremes could then finish them off with a single blow.
Therefore, they quickly broke through to the first level of the universe level and reached the realm of the Primordial Emperor.
Having acquired cosmic-level power, one possesses basic combat capabilities and can move much more freely.
Led by Ying Zheng and the Great Mighty Saint Venerable, over a hundred people, carrying bows and arrows, headed towards the lake.
Upon arriving at the lake, the group hid behind rocks. The Holy One of Vajrabhairava tied a wild dog with a rope and threw it out.
The stray dog staggered and fled towards the lake.
Sure enough, after sensing the presence of the stray dog, the surface of the lake rippled slightly, and a dark shadow cautiously peeked out.
The monster in the lake was no longer as arrogant as it had been when Ying Zheng and his companions first encountered it.
Clearly, the Holy Venerable Yamantaka and his companions had given it quite a hard time the day before yesterday.
After the monster poked one head out, it cautiously looked around. Once it was sure no one else was around, it fully extended its head out of the pond.
“Shoot!!”
"Supreme Lord Hongdu shouted loudly."
In an instant, everyone emerged from behind the rock, bows and arrows in hand, and began firing wildly at the giant snake's head!
The arrows whistled through the air, and the giant snake's head was instantly struck by countless arrows!
After feeling the pain, it quickly retreated back to the lake.
"What do we do now?" Ying Zheng asked beside the Great Power Saint.
“There is a way,” said the Great Lord of Might.
"Everyone, bring over what you've prepared!" the Venerable Yamantaka shouted. Soon, several people carried over several large earthenware jars.
Upon opening the cylinder lid, a pungent, bloody smell wafted out.
"What is this?" Ying Zheng was taken aback.
He went closer and saw that several large vats were filled with blood and internal organs.
“It’s all the blood and entrails of the wild dogs we killed!” said the Holy One Yamantaka.
"Make your move!" Emperor Wuxuan waved his hand to signal.
The group immediately sprang into action and overturned the large vats.
Large amounts of dog blood and entrails gushed from the vat and flowed down the slope into the lake.
Soon, the blood stained a large area of the swamp red, and trickles of blood flowed into the lake.
After the blood flowed into the pond, there was initially no reaction. But soon, the surface of the pond surged violently, as if it could no longer bear it. The surface burst open, and huge snake shadows burst out from the water!
The snakes thrashed wildly, emitting terrifying roars, and even collided and intertwined with each other, as if they had gone mad.
"As expected, he has emerged!" The Great Mighty Saint smiled slightly.
"A monster of its size naturally has an enormous appetite. If it goes hungry for three days and then smells blood again, it will surely go berserk!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ying Zheng couldn't help but secretly give him a thumbs up, "That's ruthless!"
It's like roasting a whole lamb in front of a starving person, with the aroma of the roasted meat constantly wafting into their nose. How can they stand it?
Moreover, the lake monster itself is ferocious and violent.
If you starve a ferocious beast for three days and then let it smell blood, how can it possibly maintain its rationality?
Even in death, it wants to have a good meal before it dies!
The terrifying screams were deafening. It danced wildly, and beneath the pond, there was a fleshy ball that seemed even larger than the pond's mouth, trying to burst out.
Unfortunately, this lake is a narrow crevice formed by the mountain, wider inside than outside, so it can't get out at all.
Moreover, the rocks were solid, and despite its forceful impact, it could not break them at all.
"Release the arrows!!" Supreme Lord Hongdu grinned and waved his hand.
In an instant, everyone fired wildly at the lake monster once again.
The arrow pierced the air and struck the monster accurately, leaving its serpentine body covered in blood!
Despite the attacks from the crowd, the monster did not back down. It roared, its heads bulging out, and then it sprayed jets of mud and water at the crowd!
"Watch out!! Get out of the way!!" Hongdu Supreme shouted.
Everyone immediately hid back behind the rocks.
Streams of muddy water shot over, hitting the rocks hard and splashing water everywhere.
Some mud and water splashed onto everyone's bodies and faces.
"Is this thing alright?" Ying Zheng couldn't help but ask.
"Don't worry, it's not stomach acid, and it's not corrosive," said the Great Lord of Vajrabhairava.
"Then what happened to that dog last time? After it swallowed it, it spat it out and turned into bones," Ying Zheng couldn't help but ask.
“Actually, I found it strange last time. If its gastric juices can really melt flesh and blood instantly, then why can’t they melt bones?” Mahadeva said with a smile.
"After carefully examining some bones, we found that they all had tiny scratches! If I'm not mistaken, after this monster swallowed its prey, its intestines or tongue must have had many barbs like knives. These barbs scraped away the flesh, rather than being dissolved by stomach acid!"
"Not only that, its gastric juices must be weak, otherwise it wouldn't have vomited the bones. The fact that it deliberately vomited the bones means it couldn't digest them!"
"Then we brought back some mud and water to test it out. This mud and water was just ordinary mud and water. This lake monster looks scary, but apart from being a bit bigger, it's just a mud monster!" said the Great Lord of Might.
"It just grew up slowly by staying here for who knows how many years and eating countless wild dogs."
"I see." Ying Zheng nodded.
The Great Vajra Deity and his companions are indeed extraordinary.
No wonder he's a formidable character who has been able to contend with the Spirit God Universe for many years.
In the Spirit God Universe, not to mention the four Great Creation Gods, the number of powerful beings who have reached the Creation God realm is more than ten times greater than in the Primordial Universe.
Those four great creator gods were even more extraordinary in strength, possessing terrifying power that could crush countless Primordial Supremes with every move they made.
However, the fact that the Holy Venerable Yamantaka and others were able to hold out for billions of years amidst such powerful enemies is something that ordinary people could not do.
"However, the water jets it spews have an extremely strong impact. If you are accidentally hit, it's like hitting a wall, and all your bones will shatter instantly!" said the Great Vajra Deity.
“One of our people was accidentally hit and was thrown more than ten meters away, breaking half of his bones! Fortunately, he left the Canglan Illusionary Realm in time, otherwise the injury could have been fatal.”
After the lake monster went berserk, it sprayed water jets wildly for several hours.
Its jets of water washed away the muddy ground around the lake, leaving it looking brand new.
Unfortunately, Ying Zheng and his men hid behind a large rock, and although the water jet was powerful, it could not break the rock, which was half a person tall.
Once the lake monster's attacks subsided, the group leaned out again and fired arrows.
Under the dense rain of arrows, the exhausted and ravenous monster had no choice but to dive back into the water.
"That's about enough." The Great Lord of Vajra said in a deep voice as he watched the monster slip away again.
"It's severely injured, starving, and extremely weak. Even if we leave it alone, it probably won't last three to five days before dying. Luring it out again is almost impossible. We'll have to get close and fight it, making it feel like there's still hope of victory!"
"Hehe, they're using us as bait!" Emperor Wuxuan laughed. "If it wins, it will eat our flesh."
"The rest of you will cover the rear, and we level twos will handle the rest! If we die, don't take any more risks, just wait for it to die on its own," Supreme Hongdu shouted.
At the cosmic level, level one, the physical abilities are almost identical to those of an ordinary person.
The second level of the cosmic level is much more powerful.
But at that moment, Ying Zheng spoke up: "None of you need to take the risk. This monster is at least level five. Even a level two person could be instantly killed by it. Let me handle it. I'll take it on by myself."
“It’s too dangerous!” the Great Lord Yamantaka immediately exclaimed.
Even if you are very strong, it's still a bit of a stretch for you to deal with it alone!
“That’s right!” Xuanjian God Venerable echoed.
"Moreover, you are now our most important trump card in the Hongmeng Universe. Any of us can be in trouble, but you cannot be in trouble!" Hongdu Supreme said seriously.
“I understand.” Ying Zheng nodded.
"But isn't the so-called trump card meant to come into play at such crucial moments?" Ying Zheng countered.
Upon hearing this, everyone was speechless.
"Alright, that's enough," Ying Zheng said. (End of Chapter)
