American comics: Random transformations

Sophia shook her head, expressing her helplessness. She didn't want to leave either.

The only good thing about this place was that they wouldn't starve. Whether it was trees, weeds, rocks, or groundwater, everything was edible.

Lucas nodded, glanced at Ethan, who seemed uninterested, and then said to the three of them, "I'll go look around again! You guys stay here, and I'll come back for you when I find a way out."

"Although we haven't encountered any dangers along the way, this island feels strange everywhere!" Olivia nodded. "Be careful! Also, if anything happens, try to eat as much as you can. Eating can heal injuries!"

Lucas was taken aback. So, the food here had that effect? He nodded, indicating he understood.

Thus, the four of them stayed behind, while the most energetic one went out to explore.

After Lucas circled around, he unexpectedly found a wine bottle.

"A wine bottle? And it's red wine?"

This was as absurd as digging up a thousand-year-old crystal high heel during an archaeological dig.

This was underground, in a place of unknown depth. Surrounded by nothing but rocks and dirt, it clearly didn't look like anyone had been here.

A red wine bottle appeared here, and there was even half a bottle of wine left inside. It was truly bizarre.

He brought the wine bottle back to the underground garden and, amidst the shocked expressions of his companions, placed the glass bottle in front of them.

"So… you're saying you went around in a circle and came back with half a bottle of wine?"

Ethan tried to ease the awkward atmosphere with a bad joke.

Emma rolled her eyes at him. "Idiot Ethan, Lucas means that someone has definitely been here before!?"

"I can't say for sure. Judging by the dirt on it, it's been here for quite some time."

Lucas scratched his head. He was a rich second-generation, but he had never seen this wine packaging before. It didn't look like it came from a legitimate manufacturer at all.

Ethan picked up the wine bottle and started trying to open it. "Why don't I open it and take a look? With my years of drinking experience, I can tell which winery it's from just by smelling it."

"Then give it a try. We're bored anyway."

After various attempts involving tapping, shaking, and prying with branches, Ethan finally decided to smash the bottle opening directly.

Contrary to what they expected, the moment the bottle was smashed, it wasn't a scene of wine aroma filling the air.

Instead, a horrifying stench quickly spread throughout the area.

The red wine-like liquid, after leaving the bottle, expanded wildly. Each time its volume increased, a strong, pungent odor wafted over.

"Oh my god! Oh my god! What is this monster! Ugh… — —"

"It's too disgusting, I'm going to throw up, ugh — —"

The three of them vomited uncontrollably on the spot, while the other two grabbed them and frantically retreated.

The red slime-like thing, after growing to a certain size, began to develop skin-like armor on its surface.

Before long, a monster wearing leather armor and covered in rotting skin appeared in the underground garden.

It curled up, huddled in a corner, not because it didn't want to stand up, but because the space was too small.

"Ah— Three years! I'm finally out! Screw you, Constantine! I'm the winner! Ah ha ha ha ha…"

(A slovenly man in a trench coat, who was drinking, sensed something and felt a fluctuation in a demonic pact within his mind. The unlucky guy he had sealed in the red wine might have broken the seal. However, he had thrown the wine bottle into a broken place where no one could find it, so it would take a long time for that idiot demon to come and cause him trouble. He should just keep drinking.)

The laughing monster suddenly smelled a familiar scent, the scent of… human flesh!

"Three years, I can finally eat people again!"

The burly figure crawled forward in the small space, its eyes fixed on the five people in the corner, filled only with greedy desire!

The five of them were so scared that they hurried to escape. No matter what, their own safety was the most important thing now.

"Oh my god, a demon! There's a freaking demon here!"

"Holy crab, Ethan, quickly pray to your invincible God to save us!!!"

"Oh my god! God! God! Please save me! You see, he's not responding to me, we should run!"

Ethan was also a fake believer. He would recite a few lines from the Bible occasionally, but when something really happened, he preferred to trust his running speed.

Most of the passages were bottleneck-shaped. The demon, due to its massive size, couldn't squeeze through, but it had more than just a large body.

Black mist spread over its body, and the huge body turned back into a red slime.

Then, this form that could freely change its body easily entered the rocky passage.

After running for five or six minutes, Emma was panting and couldn't run anymore. As she gasped for breath, she smelled that stench again: "Huff… huff… I feel like the stench is still here!"

"Impossible… that big guy can't get in… Holy crab! Run!"

Turning his head, Lucas saw the red slime following not far behind, and accelerated in fear.

The others didn't need to look back to guess that the ghostly thing was catching up!

"Run, run, run, run, run! Don't look back! The demon has turned into slime and is following us!"

Lucas spoke quickly, his legs running even faster.

The other four were also tense, and the increasingly foul smell told them that the demon was getting closer and closer!

Suddenly, just as they rounded two corners.

Light! Appeared before them!

"Holy crab! We actually found the exit! Run out!!!"

Emma, Olivia, Sophia, Ethan, and Lucas, their faces shone with light, the light of hope in a desperate situation!

Just as they rushed out into the light, what awaited them was a huge waterfall!

"Ah!!!!!!" × 5

The red slime was not to be outdone and jumped down the waterfall with them!

Chapter 89: A Terrible Demon (7)

The icy, bone-chilling lake water shocked everyone who fell in.

“Hiss—so cold! This, this, this! Am I dreaming?”

Looking up, Emma saw an unbelievable scene.湛 blue glaciers covered the entire Gourmet Island, forming an inverted ice-blue dome.

The group had gone from a rocky ceiling to a solid ice dome; it was truly magical.

“If I can get out of here, I’m definitely writing this experience down! It’s too magical! Too unbelievable!” Olivia declared from the side.

“Splash!”

That was the sound of the red slime hitting the water.

“Oh my God! Run! It’s catching up!”

“Run!”

They had never swam so fast in their lives.

The falling slime was rapidly transforming, and a five-meter-tall, ugly monster emerged from the water.

“A ha ha ha, humans, don’t run!”

Everywhere it swam, the hellish aura emanating from its body killed the surrounding flora and fauna, and the water turned black and stinky under its pollution.

The demon didn't care about any of this. All it saw was human flesh, which it hadn't eaten in a long time, and fresh souls.

Unbeknownst to it, the island's attack formation was already in operation.

Someone was destroying and wasting food, which triggered the pre-conditions for the formation's attack. An energy full of destructive aura gathered in the sky above the island.

The Ice Specter, sensing the anomaly, was speechless.

What on earth was going on? What happened on the island? Damn, the destruction formation I just set up was activated so quickly?

“Oh—really, things just keep happening one after another, so annoying… Ha—”

He spewed out cold air from his mouth, instantly freezing the old man in front of him. The Ice Specter retreated and flew towards the place on the island where the incident occurred.

Poseidon broke free from the ice: “Want to run? Leave something behind for me!”

Strands of seawater turned into sea snakes, extending endlessly towards the Ice Specter, trying to bite him!

Having already demonstrated his ability to become ethereal, these water-based sea snakes were mixed with some divine power, allowing them to directly attack the ethereal Ice Specter.

“Ha~~~”

He blew out a blizzard from his mouth again. Even the water-based sea snakes with divine power would be frozen instantly, although they could break free quickly.

But this was the sea, with a constant source of seawater. Only the shell was frozen; the divine power could flow freely.

“So troublesome~~, this home-field advantage~~ is really annoying.”

Without a targeted method, it was really difficult. If only I had asked Garfield to give me another Spirit Gun.

He had already flown to the glacier that had been frozen by the tsunami.

After becoming ethereal, he passed through the glacier and arrived at Garfield’s location.

At this time, Garfield's appearance was very strange. Ice Specter's wings had grown out of his back, but his body was still in Super Saiyan mode.

“What’s wrong? Did you have some kind of absorption failure?”

“It’s not… I can absorb it, but to completely transform into the appearance of this gene, I lack a lot of energy! It would be best if you could give me some solar plasma; I want to taste the saltiness.”

There was no hint of regret on Saiyan Garfield’s face; only a happy smile.

The Ice Specter rolled his eyes, pointed to the outside of the glacier, and said:

“…That old thing is coming over, go and block him~~!

Someone on the island triggered the ‘destruction rule’ formation~~ I'm going to get rid of that guy. Otherwise~~ this island will be destroyed by the newly created formation~~!”

Hearing this, Garfield’s expression became serious: “Go ahead and rest assured, I’ll take care of that immortal old guy!”

“Mm~~”

… … … … … …

“Ah!!!!! Be careful!”

“Ah ah ah ah!!!!!”

“Run run run run!!!!!”

Screaming, running, dodging attacks!

The terrifying monster behind them was like a tracking device had been placed on them. No matter how they ran or hid, the monster could always find them.

The five people running frantically had already reached the beach. Blocked by the huge glacier, their path to jump into the sea and escape was cut off. They could only pick a direction to run!

Perhaps the Great Demon had been locked up for too long, and its brain wasn't working quite right. Compared to the five people running and parkouring nimbly in front, it simply advanced in a straight line in a crude and direct manner.

It broke trees when it encountered them, and slapped stones away when it encountered them, wasting a lot of time in the process.

“Little things, don’t run! Leave your flesh and your souls…”

The clumsy demon was completely unaware of the increasingly dense purple color above its head.

The destructive energy orb, full of destructive power, had already gathered within the formation and was about to be launched.

The Ice Specter caught up with that big guy who had been marked by the formation.

Using his own energy, he connected to this mark, paused the attack that the formation was about to launch, and moved the mark to his hand, which might be useful later.

He carefully sized up the monster:

“Wow~ damn… it looks like an ogre from a manga. This thing should be a demon, right? There aren't any like this in the magic books I learned from, it's so ugly you can't even tell what it looks like…”

He really couldn't understand where this ghostly thing had popped out from. This island clearly didn't have any supernatural powers! The biggest supernatural power was still the one he created using gourmet cells.

Could it have been summoned by these guys…

Looking at the five figures screaming and running away, Tian Xiaoban thought for a while, it seemed that ever since these five guys came to the island, all sorts of troubles had come knocking.

Could it be… that there are some “heroes” among these people.

DC heroes are all “trouble magnet” types. Wherever they go, bad luck follows. It's hard not to blame the bad luck on them.

It’s definitely not Tian Xiaoban causing trouble, impossible, absolutely impossible! How could there be so many coincidences that he would run into so many of them at once.
