Fishing the Myriad Heavens-Chapter 531 - Effects of the Lifelike Bait!

This beast that’d suddenly appeared was incredibly huge. Its head was like a fierce tiger’s, but its face was covered in menacing scales. The bottom half of its body was like a scorpion, but covered in thick shell!

Its scorpion-tail arched high over its head, swaying unpredictably.

A half meter deep hole the thickness of an infant’s fist appeared on the little giant’s chest. The hole was incredibly smooth, without a single drop of blood. At the same time, it was slowly healing.

“Hou!”

The little giant was stunned for a moment before it suddenly roared with rage. Striding out with large steps, it charged towards the great beast, swinging its club towards the beast’s head!

“Dang!”

The great beast did not panic as it lifted its huge claws to block the club!

Sparks the size of chicken eggs shot out from the clash, landing on the grass and setting it on fire.

The great beast stumbled backwards continuously, crushing many trees in its path, and leaving huge footprints on the ground. Fine cracks the thickness of a thumb could be seen spreading out from the deep footprints.

The little giant’s raw strength shocked the great beast heavily. Not giving it any time to recover, the little giant roared loudly again and raised its club, making it smash towards the great beast!

The great beast blocked steadily with its huge claws, clashing forcefully against the giant’s club!

After tens of clashes, the great beast’s left claw was already filled with cracks as if it would shatter at the next moment.

After smashing out with its full strength continuously for so many times, the little giant also felt that its body had grown somewhat numb. This was the result of the accumulated rebound strength from the impact of smashing its club against the great beast’s hard claw!

This instant of numbness was quickly seized by the great beast!

When the club swung down again, taking advantage of the timing when the little giant’s arms were numb, the great beast’s uninjured right claw instantly struck out!

“Dang!”

A loud sound rang out, and the claw smashed into the club. In that instant, the little giant could not maintain its grip on the club!

“Peng!”

The exceedingly heavy club flew high into the sky, drawing a beautiful arc through the air before smashing heavily into the ground.

In the instant that the little giant’s club was smashed out of its hand, the scorpion tail that hadn’t moved since the start of the battle suddenly stabbed at the little giant’s chest with the speed of lightning, just like a venomous snake that’d been lying in wait for a long time!

The furious little giant felt its body stiffen as it looked towards its chest with disbelief. After that, it collapsed to the ground, without even a chance to retaliate!

In that instant, the scorpion tail repeatedly stabbed the same location three times!

As the speed was too fast, even a cultivator who’d newly broken through to the Thousand Year King realm would only be able see one stab!

A small hole had appeared on the little giant’s chest, its size insignificant when compared with the little giant’s body, but the attack that caused it had actually shattered the little giant’s core!

The little giant which was completely black in color shuddered as the color around its chest disappeared and spread outwards!

The black color was concentrated around the chest, and the place where the color disappeared was like a gray plaster that would suddenly split by a single touch.

Only a half meter circle of black remained around its chest, glimmering lethargically.

“Ao!”

The great beast turned its face to the sky and roared as if declaring its strength.

After that, its tail swiped towards its front, unhesitatingly cutting open its own palm!

“Drip, drip!”

Silver-colored blood flowed out from the wound, dripping onto the floor. The great beast did not mind, and turned its open wound towards the pitch-black area on the little giant’s chest.

The blood fell upon a large area, creating numerous flowers of blood.

The strange thing was that none of the blood was wasted at all. Every single drop was swallowed up by the black area.

In a few minutes, without any movements from the great beast, the black-colored energy condensed together and flowed into the nose and mouth of the great beast like a stream of water!

An empty hole appeared on the little giant’s chest, and as the black energy flowed away, its body also crumbled apart and turned into a pile of loose sand, disappearing in the wind!

The great beast remained sprawled on the ground, its expression filled with comfort. A mysterious light rose from its body, forming a shroud of light around it.

With a speed visible to the naked eye, the almost shattered claw was restored, looking as if it were new. Its carapace also glowed with a soft light.

In a short time, the great beast stood up again. The aura on its body had increased significantly, and its huge scorpion claws shone and glistened. The sting on its tail shone menacingly as if it could pierce through space itself!

What happened here was only a single such incident. Countless scenes like this were happening all over this large landmass.

Some of these fights were won by the great beasts, while some were won by the little giants.

If the great beasts won, they would absorb the unknown black energy from the little giant’s body. If the little giants won, they would tear the great beast’s body apart and shower in the blood!

At this time, Bei Feng was looking at a 20 zhang tall little giant storming its way through the jungle.

This forest was simply too huge. It was vast and boundless, and each tree was exceedingly tall and thick. Trees that towered several hundred meters into the sky could be found everywhere.

Bei Feng had his eye on this little giant the moment he spotted it, but, unfortunately, the speed at which he controlled the hook was incomparable to the speed at which the little giant moved. Thus, he could only watch helplessly as it disappeared into the forest.

The universe is infinitely huge, and all kinds of miraculous things exist. Are these creatures considered humans or Demonic Beasts? Or are they metallic life forms?

Bei Feng sighed. He was just about to give up on his target. After all, now that the little giant had left, he could not control the fishing hook as he pleased. If the hook got caught on a tree, wouldn’t he end up with a tree to reel back?

“Oh? I got it!” Bei Feng mumbled to himself as he slapped his forehead. Without any hesitation, he commanded, “System, I would like to use the bait!”

He’d unlocked this function a long time ago, but he hadn’t found any opportunities to use it until now, which was why he almost forgot about it.

“Ding! Please select your target.” The System’s voice rang out in Bei Feng’s head.

Bei Feng directly picked the strange giant he’d seen earlier as the target. He only needed to form the image in his head, and the System immediately understood.

The System paused for a few seconds before responding, “The Lifelike Bait will be customized according to the selected life form’s preferences. Required experience: 1,000,000. Confirm?”

“Yes!” Bei Feng nodded his head firmly. This was the first time he’d seen such a strange creature, so although he felt some heartache about the one million experience points, he still decided to make the bet.

Before Bei Feng’s eyes, the fishing hook slowly changed, turning into a palm-sized ball of icy bluish blood. The blood emanated a thick frosty aura, which surged out in all directions.

As he watched the several hundred meters of land turn into a snowy land, Bei Feng could not help but mutter in shock, “If I didn’t know this was fake, I wouldn’t dare to believe it as well.”

All this was nothing but an illusion, but the power of this illusion was too strong, enough to trick the senses of the target.

Take this icy ground for example; it hadn’t actually changed at all, but if a person stepped into the area, they would feel certain that the land had indeed been frozen.

… Because they could feel the bone-piercing cold in the air, and when their hands touched the ground, their senses would interpret the wild grass as ice!

Even their spirit sense would detect that this was a land of ice.

Similarly, while this region would not seem very different to others, the little giant’s species would be able to sense the fragrance and energy vibrations from the ball of blood. This was the true perverse strength of the Lifelike Bait!

The giant that’d just stepped into the forest suddenly stopped and turned around as it sniffed twice at the air.

Following that, the huge fellow charged back out madly, grunting wildly!

“Hou! Hou!”

When it saw the ball of blood, it instantly pounced over without any hesitation!

“Aowuuuu!”

The 20 zhang tall giant swallowed the ball of blood and patted its stomach with satisfaction.

“Hm?”

The little giant scratched its head, feeling somewhat confused. It’d clearly swallowed the ball of blood already, so why wasn’t there any change to its body?

With its pitiful mental capacity, the giant was unable to figure out what was going on. As Bei Feng tugged on the rod, the hook in its stomach jumped up and dug into its fleshy stomach.

Bei Feng’s eyes lit up with excitement as he reeled in the line excitedly. I originally thought that the Lifelike Bait was dispensable, but who would have thought that it would be so useful!

Although the price of using such consumables was very high, it was capable of producing miraculous results!

With its strength completely sealed, the giant still managed to move its body with great difficulty. However, those slow movements weren’t very useful.

Quite a few giants had also ran over after the bait, but before they arrived, the energy ripples had already disappeared. Quite a few giants stood where they were, scratching their heads with confusion.

But Bei Feng was already unwilling to be bothered with them anymore at this point since he’d already caught one giant.

The hook had already been embedded deeply within the giant’s body, becoming part of it. As long as Bei Feng did not release it, it was impossible for the giant to escape.

After all, creatures that could escape from Bei Feng’s hook would never be so easily caught by him. They would have struggled and broken free from the line forcefully as soon as they were hooked.

Bei Feng was filled with anticipation every single time he went fishing because he would always get a different thing each time.

This time was the same. Bei Feng was anticipating what benefits this giant would bring with it. What he feared was only that this giant only looked impressive but was not worth anything. If that was the case, he would have lost a large amount of experience points.

As Bei Feng was submerged in a half worried and half excited state, the head of the giant had already begun to appear from the vortex.
