Chapter 284: Chapter 190: King of Monsters, Skull Island (Requesting Monthly Pass)
The blue electric current quickly faded away, and Qin Shou took another big bite. The blue electric current surged up again.
Before the blue electric current could dissipate, Qin Shou took bite after bite and soon devoured the entire Muto egg.
Patting his belly that rivaled Zhu Bajie’s in size, Qin Shou collapsed to the ground, his whole body coursing with dazzling blue electric current.
"Zzzzzz..."
The electric current flickered visibly across his skin as Qin Shou picked his teeth, letting his body undergo the dual transformation powered by Star Power and electricity.
He only cared about eating. Getting stronger? Not his problem.
Qin Shou estimated it would take about a full day to digest the Muto egg.
At this rate, eating just ten Muto eggs would guarantee his promotion to Vajra Seven Stars.
Sure enough, even without spending money, grinding dungeons still works.
"Boom rumble rumble..."
Before he could rest for long, the underground cavern’s battle grew more intense, causing the entire cave to show signs of potential collapse.
Qin Shou poked his head out, only to see Su Liang and Yan Bo fighting tooth and nail, furiously attacking the Muto monster’s head.
The Sky Blue Thunder Python and Flame Dragon, the two cultivated beasts, were deeply embedded in the stone walls of the cavern, letting out weak growls. Clearly, they’d taken quite a beating from the giant Muto.
"Boom..."
With a furious roar, the giant Muto smashed its two huge forelimbs wildly on the ground, creating a dense network of cracks across the cave floor.
"Crack crack crack..."
The cracks expanded rapidly. Suspended in midair, Su Liang and Yan Bo exchanged glances, their pale faces growing heavier due to severe energy depletion.
"What the hell is this Muto up to?"
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Su Liang gasped heavily.
Yan Bo stared at the Muto coldly and said, "No matter what, we must kill this Muto today..."
Before he could finish, the cave floor collapsed with a deafening crash, and the giant Muto disappeared along with the sinking ground.
"Splash splash splash..."
In an instant, the sound of waterfalls colliding with water echoed in their ears, and the entire cave was rapidly shrouded in mist.
Yan Bo’s face darkened. "There’s an underground river below. It’s trying to escape. After it!"
With that, his figure transformed into a flame dragon and dove downward.
But halfway down, he reverted to his original form.
There was the underground river below, and entering the water in his flame form would never allow him to be a match for the Muto.
Sweeping his right hand across his waist, a belt inlaid with a red gemstone slowly surfaced.
Kongwo!
With the red chest armor now covering him, Yan Bo continued his dive.
Su Liang, on the other hand, first collected the two cultivated beasts into his Space Wristwatch before heading down after him.
"Plop..."
Amidst the cacophony of rushing water, the faint sound of splashing was barely audible. Soon after, Qin Shou, clad in battle armor, floated in mid-air above the cavern, his bizarrely large belly bulging.
Frowning at the pitch-black hole created by the collapsed ground, he muttered to himself.
"How could such a deep underground space have an underground river?"
Shaking his head, Qin Shou waved his hand slightly. A sword-like finger grasped a water-blue card, which he then sent into his body.
"Buzz..."
Water ripples spread out, and colorful bubbles floated in the air. Qin Shou lowered his gaze to his blue mermaid tail, along with his still bulging belly, and his cheeks twitched involuntarily.
"Alright, pregnant mermaid it is. No big deal."
Controlling the bubbles, he descended swiftly. Thanks to the vision of a mermaid, Qin Shou wasn’t affected by the darkness in front of him.
Below the waterfall formed by underground fault lines, the water surged turbulently. The two men and the beast continued their battle, sending up massive waves over ten meters high.
The giant Muto, after a fierce effort to fend off Su Liang and Yan Bo’s relentless pursuit, lost interest in dealing with these untouchable yet unkillable humans. It burrowed deep into the underground river and vanished.
Seeing this, Yan Bo and Su Liang let their Space Wristwatches release hundreds of Earth Core Energy Crystals, which were enveloped in Star Power and floated around them.
While absorbing energy for recovery, they continued their chase in the direction where the Muto had disappeared.
Qin Shou’s "delicate" face showed a hint of helplessness. Can’t beat it? Then stop chasing it, okay? Didn’t you notice it doesn’t even want to bother with you anymore?
If you keep this up, am I really going to have to collect your bodies?
Then he thought to himself: what if Big Black Face and Third Uncle catch up to the Muto, fight until both sides are defeated, and exhaust all their strength. Someone’s gotta pick up the spoils, right?
Hmm, let’s hope the rules of feel-good novels never go out of style.
"Plop..."
With the bubble burst, Qin Shou made a bold dive into the icy underground river.
In the underground river, Qin Shou closed his eyes slightly, his long blue hair flowing as he carefully sensed the water currents around him, swimming downstream in pursuit of the trail left by the two men.
...
Regardless of whether it was Su Liang and Yan Bo in the Unbreakable Realm or the Nightmare-Level Muto, their speed in the water was no slower than Qin Shou.
Qin Shou had to give it his all just to barely keep up with Su Liang and Yan Bo.
Before long, flashes of Thunder Power illuminated the riverbed up ahead, and Muto’s screeches echoed far and wide through the water, prompting Qin Shou to stop so as not to get caught in the chaos.
"Gurgle gurgle..."
As savage bursts of energy erupted violently, the riverbed’s undercurrents surged around madly, pushing Qin Shou back over a hundred meters. It also "delivered" a group of strange monster fish to Qin Shou.
These fish resembled snakes and had slight similarities to ribbonfish, but their snake-like characteristics were far more pronounced, thus dubbing them "snake fish."
The snake fish thrashed their long, three-zhang snake-like bodies. Hundreds upon thousands of them swam aggressively toward Qin Shou. Along the way, they shattered jagged river reefs with brute force, their mouths filled with rows of gruesome sharp teeth eager to bite.
Instead of immediately summoning his cultivated beasts, Qin Shou—being a mermaid—thought he ought to try singing to cultivate his artistic spirit.
"Ahem..."
Clearing his throat, Qin Shou began singing aloud underwater.
"The river flows east! Stars in the sky align with the Big Dipper! Ha ha, Big Dipper align!"
In an instant, his crisp yet hilariously off-key singing transformed into waves of sound, sweeping across the snake fish group. Suddenly, the fish froze in place, their eyes shimmering with eerie crimson light.
