Mara River, torrential rain.
The rain washed away the blood from the river.
Dots of red light, like a galaxy, encircled the Red Typhon in the center of the river Red-Bellied Piranhas arrived as promised, opening their mouths to swallow and spit out water, inhaling the blood foam that seeped into the water.
But they couldn't get close to Red Typhon. This overlord died with a roar to the sky in his posture. The Furnace Core extinguished, but his majesty remained. Most importantly, the temperature of the corpse was too high. Large patches of red scales were charred black. It was covered in wounds, with dozens of bite marks on its abdomen and back, all of which revealed its stark white ribs.
Red Typhon floated on the surface, its neck bearing four massive bite wounds that severed its throat, broke its spine, and completely destroyed its muscles and nerves. Now, its head was merely attached to its body by scales and skin.
Another colossal beast surfaced, Famu moved its body, its bones making a series of fine, clicking sounds. Those bones, crushed by Seran, were now healing.
The scales were covered with serrated marks, the result of Seran's bites. However, Seran's teeth could not pierce Famu's scales. Famu's scales and armor muscles could now even defend against the Dead Sun Armor. He almost ignored Seran's tearing. The dense serrated barbs could only leave some marks on Famu's scales.
Famu swam around, examining the now-dead Typhon.
Typhon truly lives up to his reputation as a monster that reigns supreme in the rainforest.
Even after two ambushes, Seran still managed to drag Famu into a protracted war of attrition.
Famu bit Seran's spine off more than once, but such injuries were nothing to Seran. The next time it bit, the broken spine would heal and it would pounce again. Famu's agile neck could dodge the Dead Sun Armor's bites, but it was difficult to escape the entanglement of another Typhon.
Seran knew that Famu wouldn't let her go, and with nowhere else to retreat, she forced herself to embrace Famu.
Two enormous snakes writhed and twisted in the river, locked in a fierce struggle, the Child of the Earth- shaking sounds piercing through the rain.
Famu's reinforced vertebrae played a crucial role; Seran had difficulty breaking his bones, but Famu filled the resonating cavity, Seran could not withstand the strangulation of the Child of the Earth and the High-Temperature Domain.
Seran was forced into retreat, but the abundance of Furnace Core Energy exceeded Famu's expectations.
She heals herself when injured, whether it's a bitten abdomen, a large area of torn muscle, or a spine that Famu bit off and shattered. She can heal all of them, and even broken muscles and bones can coil around Famu.
As long as the Child of the Earth has not been extinguished, she is still alive.
This reminded Famu of the female Typhon, who had been torn to pieces by the flock; even with only her head remaining, she could still kill a Sunbird.
The Child of the Earth are a group of melee monsters.
The battle raged into the late hours of the night. Finally, the Furnace Core of Red Typhon's Furnace Core went out, and it could no longer provide Seran with power. Her wounds began to widen until Famu burned through her internal organs and bit off her head. This time, Seran could not heal. Her muscles twitched, but her life had already been lost in the river.
The Red-Bellied Piranha's glow illuminated the rain curtain as Famu dragged the corpse of Red Typhon ashore.
Having learned from Seran that Tessa was not at the Mara River at all, Famu did not hastily wrap up his hunt as he had with the Dead Sun Armor. Instead, he planned to return to the shore and recover some strength.
From a purely hand-to-hand combat perspective, killing Seran is far more difficult than killing a Dead Sun Armor.
From the perspective of the competition between these two groups in the Samei Rainforest, the flames of the Dead Sun Armor were probably intended to limit the self-healing ability of the Child of the Earth Typhon. The High-Temperature Domain can damage muscles and the nervous system. For the Child of the Earth, it is better to grow new tissue directly than to heal burns. However, since the necrotic tissue remains in its original position, it successfully prevents the self-healing ability from taking effect.
In other words, Famu's Mimetic Bloodburn is a deadly weapon used to kill its own kind.
Although he can't use the Day of Death as freely as the Dead Sun Armor, he can still unleash a short burst of Bloodburn after destroying the body structure of his kind, damaging muscle activity and creating necrotic tissue.
We need to shift our High-Temperature Domain as soon as possible.
At least don't let your peers notice.
Famu, realizing even himself the danger of this power.
At the same time, he developed an even greater desire for the power of the Dead Sun Armor.
It was barely dawn; the clouds rolled by, letting through a few slivers of half-dawn white light.
The heavy rain gradually subsided, turning into a light drizzle.
Famu lowered his head and slowly swallowed the Red Typhon. The structure of snakes is indeed suitable for them to swallow whole. Famu's jaw was already locked and could not be opened, but he still easily put the amazing Red Typhon into his stomach.
His entire body had grown a full size larger, stretched out by Seran's body, with gaps between the scales revealing his skin, making him look like he had gained weight.
Raindrops fell on his head, evaporating into white mist.
Famu climbed back into the river. After a night of torrential rain, no fragments of scales or debris could be seen on the surface. However Famu knew that there was still residual Earth Vein Energy here. Judging from the form of the Earth Vein Energy, it was easy to mistake it for a battle between Typhon and a Dead Sun Armor.
Famu traveled along the Mara River, swimming downstream until he found the familiar White Forest.
Winding through the White Forest and into the wetland thicket, Famu still gets stuck somewhere; he's too muscular.
Famu's destination was the Black Swamp, his own lair.
This time, he needs to digest Seran, which means he's destined to fall into a long slumber, and he can only feel at ease staying in his own Blackwater Swamp.
Black Typhon crawled toward the familiar animal trail. During the dry season, most of the area was mud and cracked riverbeds. Now, a large part of the journey was waterway, Famu was in a state of fullness, so the waterway was perfect for him to move around.
He entered the Blackwater Swamp.
The water was churning.
On the treetops, the White-Faced Monkeys let out barks.
Now, Famu is filled with the aura of that Red Typhon, which the White-Faced Monkey considers an intruder.
Underwater, Famu heard the monkeys' cries, but they quickly stopped as the old White-Faced Monkey spoke up to silence them.
The elder monkey stood on the treetop and spotted the dark shadow moving in the water; it was definitely the master of this place.
"Buzz--!"
The Famu resonated in the Furnace Core, mimicking the cry of White-Faced Monkey, uttering several syllables.
The old White-Faced Monkey's eyes widened; it had actually heard a syllable response—its own language—but this syllable came from Black Typhon.
It was an order.
Come over.
The old White-Faced Monkey did as instructed, skillfully descending from the treetop to the ground. The ground was not actually safe for the monkey troop; the Blackwater Swamp was Orbital Ridge Crocodiles and capybaras, and the jungle was home to many predators that posed a danger to the White-Faced Monkey.
But those predators had no right to do anything to this old monkey.
Because Black Typhon came to pick it up himself.
