No strange things are allowed to evolve!

Daylight broke...

At the same time, sensing the sudden approach of danger, the Sand Demon subconsciously shrank his head, and his long, snake-like neck darted away like an eel.

The large hand grasped at empty air and then used the momentum to push against the ground of Baiyun City.

The next moment, a head even larger than the Sand Demon's head squeezed out of the opening.

Upon seeing that face, the falcon was startled.

"It's you!"

He had seen Jiang Shu's face twice.

One time was on his first day as a new garrison soldier, and the other time was after he was modified by the doctor and was sitting in a wheelchair.

Shouldn't he be shining brightly in his prison cell right now?

How did I end up here?

Could it be...

At the same time, Jiang Shu had already extended her entire body out of the gap and then landed steadily on the ground.

The foundation of Baiyun City could not withstand the pressure of his weight. He simply stood there, causing the ground to sink dozens of meters.

However, this depression was so small that it couldn't even cover the top of Jiang Shu's foot.

"You're the one who crashed the White Cloud Tower?" Falcon asked incredulously.

Jiang Shu slowly shifted his gaze from the terrified Sand Demon and turned to look at the Falcon.

He could actually spin very fast, but because of his enormous and terrifying size, he felt more pressured to spin slowly.

“That’s me.” Jiang Shu nodded slowly. “I’ve always disliked people taller than me since I was a child. In my opinion, people taller than 1.83 meters shouldn’t exist. So, I feel sorry for those low buildings. The White Cloud Tower is too tall. I don’t like it.”

"..." The falcon narrowed its eyes: "How tall were you originally?"

"1.83 meters tall."

"What did you do?!" The Sand Demon stared wide-eyed at the creature that had been so tiny not long ago, completely bewildered.

Jiang Shu took a deep breath, about to say something, and then...

"Cough cough cough!!"

He started coughing violently.

His current physique makes it seem like a vacuum cleaner when he takes a deep breath, sucking in all the dust and mist of White Cloud City and choking him.

His cough was like thunder, and the spittle he spat out hit the rampaging tentacles like a pool of water pouring down, enveloping them and inexplicably rendering them immobile, causing them to quickly wither and die.

"How could this be..."

The Sand Demon felt a chill run down his spine.

Although these tentacles are only a tiny part of the power that he manifested, there should be no reason why they should be so easily suppressed, right?

Jiang Shu was also completely bewildered; this effect was also beyond his expectations.

But in just a moment, he figured out the reason—

This is all because he usually prefers strong flavors and likes to eat foods that are heavy on oil and salt. Only foods with heavy oil and salt can give him some taste, while bland foods taste like cardboard to him.

Therefore, his saliva contains an unimaginable amount of oil and salt.

The saliva sprayed onto the tentacles first sealed their entire bodies with oil, and then used the salt to create osmotic pressure inside and outside, drawing out the water from the tentacles. The combination of these two processes made them shriveled and unable to move.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shu sneered:

"Hmph! Do you think I can't tell that these are things you used to store water? All the water resources after the fall of Baiyun City were used to nourish these things, weren't they?"

So, I specifically researched and developed this move, called Icathian Rainstorm, specifically to counter your tentacles. Go ahead and learn it!

"Damn it..." The Sand Demon believed it as expected, never considering the possibility that Jiang Shu had just happened to suppress the tentacles and then reversed the cause.

He readily believed what Jiang Shu said, and then became even more wary of him.

"You really can grow that big..."

The Sand Demon gritted his teeth.

Jiang Shu smiled slightly: "This is all thanks to you."

"Oh? Trying to make fun of me?" The Sand Demon took it as Jiang Shu's deliberate teasing and didn't take it seriously.

But to everyone's surprise, Jiang Shu shook his head.

"Please look."

As he spoke, he reached out and lifted the clothes that had been exposed by the sand, rolled up his trouser legs, and exposed his body as much as possible.

His body was covered with countless tiny dots.

The sand demon couldn't see clearly, but dared not approach.

But the falcons and other guards were close by, and those so-called small dots were actually about the same size as them, so they could see them very clearly.

Those were human faces.

Although the guards didn't recognize those people, they recognized their eyes. In their eyes were filled with resentment towards the Sand Demon, and with the relief and madness of being able to personally participate in the revenge.

The eyes of those sand golems who regained a brief moment of clarity after being killed were exactly the same!

So they suddenly stopped moving because...

The guards had already guessed the reason.

“That’s right!” Jiang Shu put down his shirt and trousers, raised his head slightly, and said with an arrogant expression, “It is precisely because you wanted to torture them and seal them up and modify them while they were still alive that their souls were preserved, which is why I was able to cultivate this Myriad Souls... no, Human Emperor Body!”

"What nonsense about souls! That's just feudal superstition! I don't believe it!"

It's unclear whether the Sand Demon was unwilling to accept that he had indirectly helped Jiang Shu, or, as he said, felt that the concept of the soul was too superstitious and thought that Jiang Shu had deliberately created these things to mock him.

In short, he suddenly became furious and started fighting without saying a word.

"I don't care what kind of body you have. I have the entire White Cloud City as my backing. What can you do to me? At worst, I'll just spend another thousand years rebuilding it. I can afford to wait!"

After he finished speaking, the whole city seemed to come alive.

It was no longer a passive reaction to the movements of tentacles or other unusual things; the city itself began to move.

Whether it's the ground, buildings, or facilities, everything's surface began to peel away strangely, revealing the flesh and blood underneath, which then struggled and writhed.

The guards instinctively retreated, but at that moment, the ruins of the White Cloud Tower, which were still burning with flames, began to tremble. In the blink of an eye, the exposed steel and concrete were transformed back into soft white threads and scarlet flesh.

Between those flesh and blood, there were also specks of black substance.

It looks like sand, but its color and the unsettling aura it conveys are quite different.

"careful!"

Jiang Shu immediately reached out and carefully grasped all the guards, along with the unconscious Snow King and Wang Tiezhu, placing them in his hair. Then he commanded:

"You guys hide inside the pores first, and once you're inside, remember to cover the entrance with dandruff!"

Having just finished all this, the white silk threads extending from the city had already wrapped around Jiang Shu, as if to envelop him in a cocoon. Using those silk threads as a base, flesh and blood mixed with black sand began to spread and grow.

At this moment, Baiyun City has become a predator that has its prey firmly in its grasp.

What it needs to do is convert the ginger bundles into its own nutrients!

"These are the origins of White Cloud City, the manifestation of the sands of all things. Don't you enjoy breaking down and digesting the enemies that envelop you? Now, it's your turn to taste that flavor."

As the Sand Demon spoke, Jiang Shu felt his movements begin to slow down, as these threads were constantly drawing power from his body.

"It's almost like a plant."

"Plants?" Seeing that Jiang Shu seemed to be under control, the Sand Demon breathed a slight sigh of relief and said smugly, "That's right, that's a very apt analogy. The entire White Cloud City is the top predator among plants. Once you step into it, there's no way you can escape."

I don't think so.

Jiang Shu sneered upon hearing this:

"Have you not heard that zombies specialize in attacking plants? And I am a terrifying zombie who has been a fan for ten years!"

With the body of a human emperor and the status of a god-king, why should I avoid your sharp edge?!

After saying that, Jiang Shu struggled and broke off all the white silk threads that contained the essence of Baiyun City and the Sand Demon.

The flesh and blood containing black sand had not yet covered Jiang Shu's body before it was all blown away.

"What? A terrifying... gigantic zombie?"

The Sand Demon was incredulous. Although he didn't know what it was, it sounded incredibly powerful, especially since it could break free from the control of the White Cloud City, which he had reconstructed from sand. It must be some extraordinary being.

This is, of course, due to the assistance of the Heart of the Great Wilderness.

In the previous battle, the Great Wilderness Heart had actually found a way to break the calamity-level power within it, but the Sand Demon suddenly revealed its true form, and it was just one step away from success.

So although the Sand Demon uses different methods now, the source of its power is the same, and Jiang Shu is on guard, so naturally the opponent's attack can be rendered ineffective.

At this moment, the Sand Demon's mention of the myriad sands gave Jiang Shu a conjecture.

Afterwards, Jiang Shu was almost certain that the cataclysmic power on the Sand Demon, the black substance that gave the Sand Demon its terrifying power, probably came from his purpose for this trip—the Boundless Sand.

At the same time, taking advantage of the Sand Demon's surprise at being lowered in his guard after seeing him show weakness and be controlled, Jiang Shu finally managed to grab his neck with lightning speed, and then used his other hand to grab his head.

"Baiyun, right? Open the door, I'm Heitu."

Jiang Shu revealed a triumphant smile, then his head rapidly swelled, opened his mouth wide, and swallowed the Sand Demon's head, which was filled with deep fear, whole.

Then, as if slurping noodles, it suddenly sucked in the sand demon's long neck.

Soon, Jiang Shu discovered, as expected, that the Sand Demon's head and neck were only a very small part of his true form, attached to White Cloud City like a loose thread on a sweater.

As he sucked, starting from the thread, whether it was white silk floss or black flesh and blood, it was being absorbed by Jiang Shu at a slow but steady pace. After an unknown amount of time, the entire city of Baiyun was gradually sucked into Jiang Shu's stomach...

Chapter 169 Jiang Shu's Theory of Evolution (Part 2)

Once the entire White Cloud City was swallowed by Jiang Shu, the space that originally contained White Cloud City turned into nothingness.

The sky that the Sand Demon had somehow managed to support had now become an empty void.

The sand layer above began to sink rapidly.

With a thought, Jiang Shu once again found the beacon carried by the Yellow Crane Tower.

In the blink of an eye, he vanished into thin air and flashed onto the sand.

As Huang Helou watched the once calm basin suddenly begin to sink, like a whirlpool appearing inexplicably in the sea, a huge shadow blocked the sunlight above his head.

He subconsciously turned around and saw Jiang Shu, whose upper body was hidden in the sand and mist, appear silently and quietly again.

Before he could speak, Jiang Shu squatted down and slowly stretched his hand toward the ground.

Then, the hand, which was larger than a stadium with a capacity of 10,000, slowly opened, and dozens of figures appeared inside.

Because of the great distance, Huanghelou could not see their faces clearly, but he could guess that they were the guards led by the falcon.

The Yellow Crane Tower waved to them from afar, greeting them.

From afar, Falcon and the others also saw the Yellow Crane Tower. They couldn't make out its appearance either, but they knew that it must be the people Jiang Shu had arranged to meet them, so they ran over without thinking.

This process took some time.

Because Jiang Shu's hands were so big, when they ran from the center to the edge of the Yellow Crane Tower, it was like each of them had to go through a college student physical fitness test, and they had to run at least a kilometer.

If it's just about running 1,000 meters, there are actually many scenarios that fit the description, so it's not easy to associate it with a college student physical fitness test. But if you add Xue Wang and Wang Tiezhu, it's a different story.

Since neither of them has woken up yet, it fits the actual situation of the physical test—the girl is not feeling well, so she doesn't have to run.

Throughout the entire process, the Yellow Crane Tower maintained a waving gesture.

He didn't want to run back to greet him, since their relationship wasn't that good yet. But standing there was a bit awkward. So he could only wave while looking around as if he was busy.

Fortunately, although the guards were exhausted, they were the strongest group of humans, and the physical test was no problem for them. So the embarrassment did not last long, and they soon arrived at the edge.

Thanks to Jiang Shu's thoughtful gesture of pressing his outstretched palm into the sand, making his palm almost flush with the sand, they were able to easily escape Jiang Shu's grasp.

"It's really you."

This is the first thing the falcon said when it saw the Yellow Crane Tower.

If Jiang Shu hadn't been shining brightly in the prison cell, but instead suddenly appeared out of nowhere, then his companion Huang Helou certainly wouldn't have been imprisoned by the Doctor either.

There will be no one else here to meet us.

By this time, the falcon had used up all its chances of desertification and was on its last legs, clinging to life by sheer willpower, hoping to see the final outcome, which is why it did not die immediately.
