Jumped into a Pit
Feng Xue has been in Pradamia for two weeks now, and the five-person group who are "riding the coattails" are having a very fulfilling time.
The Wuchang one sneaked into the wealthy neighborhood, constantly wearing a white coat and impersonating a doctor to perform surgeries in various hospitals. After finishing, he would deliberately reveal his identity, knocking out all the security guards before making his way away.
Qingming focused on robbing the Mafia's slush funds, scattering the loot indiscriminately over the slums of Pradamia. However, due to the presence of gold bars among the loot, it seems that quite a few people were injured by the falling debris.
Lugen's actions were rather unpretentious; he was either beating up Ursus People, beating up Colombia, or on his way to beat up either of those groups. It was unclear how he managed to pick out these two groups from among so many white people.
Even Old Li, through his constant exchanges with various tea masters, left behind Urban Legend about the Yan people who had cultivated Aphrodisiac Kung Fu.
As for Feng Xue...
Feng Xue is enjoying life.
Ultimately, Old Li and his group wanted was a "visa," which Feng Xue already had.
After all Tag and Trait can be used across worlds, but the source of knowledge comes from the people who know it. Therefore, even if everyone is a "Yan country person", if you want to get involved in the Yan country people 'Weird Tale in this world, you must get the [Yan country person] Tag belonging to this world (this refers to getting involved in the Weird Tale of this world; if you are the core of the Weird Tale, then being a Yan country person is enough).
And this, in fact, is quite easy to say.
After all, at this point in time, upon seeing a capable Asian, most people would strongly think, "This guy is definitely from China."
The reason everyone hasn't finished yet is mainly because they want to expand on it.
Let's see if we can create a separate Trait based on this.
"I always feel like I'm a bit unambitious!" Feng Xue lay on the beach, drinking a glass of mixed fruit juice, looking at the beautiful women around her, and sighed that this was indeed a coastal tourist city.
Although things are chaotic and disorderly on the surface, the area, especially around hotels catering to foreigners, is still quite unsafe...
"Roar!"
"Damn it!" Feng Xue sprang up from the beach chair, turning his gaze toward the direction from which the enormous roar came. Then he realized that the source of the roar was not land, but... the sea!
Moreover, when Feng Xue looked in the direction of the sound, he didn't see anything unusual. But when he looked down, he saw that the coastline that was constantly lapping against the beach suddenly seemed to be sucked away by something and receded rapidly!
"Tsunami? Damn it! That damn gem! Should I find a Phantom Object to remove the curse?" Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was focused on the direction of the explosion, Feng Xue activated her Hermit Authority to reduce her presence. Without even having time to change clothes, she used the Orca Authority to put on an Orca Hoodie and turned to run into the city.
The roar grew louder and louder, and the coastline receded further and further away. With the piercing sirens coming from the direction of the hotel, even tourists who had not yet realized what was happening finally started running, led by those around them who had already begun to flee for their lives.
The terrified crowd began to run, screaming, shouting, and crying out; chaos had already begun before the tsunami even arrived.
Fortunately, this is a private beach of a top-tier hotel, and the number of tourists is not too large; otherwise, this chaos alone could have caused numerous stampedes.
However, there's really no point in talking about this, because Feng Xue doesn't think that the only place where chaos is happening right now is this beach.
Using his light-footed skills, Feng Xue quickly climbed to the roof of the hotel, took out a pair of binoculars, and looked into the distance at the giant waves that were gradually rising above the sea. Then, he saw a pair of eyes!
To be precise, he couldn't be sure if those were eyes. He could only see two enormous, lantern-like spots of light in the towering waves, and in the reflection of those spots, a shadow appeared in the waves, like some monster pushing the waves forward.
"A tsunami-like Weird Tale?" Feng Xue squinted, but due to the obstruction of the seawater and the resolution of the telescope, he could not accurately see whether the huge figure in the wave contained the Supernatural Tale Fire. But without a doubt, such a giant wave was not a natural phenomenon.
"By the roadside..."
"Hello?" Feng Xue answered the phone as soon as it rang, and Old Li's voice came through the receiver.
"We've stepped into a sinkhole this time! Come back quickly!"
"What sinkhole? You mean that tsunami Weird Tale?"
Feng Xue jumped off the hotel rooftop. Although she didn't specify the exact location, the only place that could be referred to as "coming back" was undoubtedly the door they had come from.
"That's Sea Monk, Hundred Tales officer in Hyakumonogatari, practically invincible in naval battles! Although I don't know what that guy is planning to do after leaving the Eastern Seas, this is definitely not something we can get involved in! I still need to notify the others, so I'll hang up now!"
"Got it!" Feng Xue hung up the phone, turned her head to look at the enormous thing in the waves, and the smugness that had risen from S-Clash Driver vanished instantly.
Compared to this monster that can mobilize the power of nature, my own power is far too weak!
Soon, Feng Xue successfully reunited with the four-person group who were trying to ride the coattails of the fire. However, their location was not at the gate, but outside Chinatown, because at this moment, the entire Chinatown was under martial law.
"What's going on?" Feng Xue looked at the heavily guarded Chinatown, and with a habitual glance, she saw lines of text appearing on the screen. Her brows furrowed even more.
"Who knows? At this time of year, the Hundred Tales are usually dealing with the Innate Supernatural Tale revived due to the 'Midsummer Night Festival' (not devouring, but simply killing them and entering the resurrection process). The only reason they'd send out this kind of Combat Power at this time is probably that matter, right?" Lugen unusually spoke at length, his tone tinged with displeasure. Old Li, hearing this, also said seriously:
"If I had known that door was here too, I would never have come here, even if you paid me!"
"Which door?" Before Qingming could react, Wuchang sighed.
"Besides that one that's currently riding high, which other one could it be?"
"Damn it!" Feng Xue spat out a curse, but before he could say anything more, a strong tremor came from beneath his feet.
"Is a folk tale from the Eastern Kingdom really capable of providing such a powerful Weird Tale?" Looking at the ground cracked from the previous tremors, the group's faces paled. Old Li, however, sighed as if it were commonplace:
"If one Eastern Kingdom isn't enough, what about several Eastern Kingdoms? What about dozens of Eastern Kingdoms? Once you enter the Tower of Babylon, you can create the same Weird Tale in different worlds to enhance the power of a single Weird Tale. However, this will make it much harder to devour the Progenitor Supernatural Tale. It's so powerful that it's almost impossible to digest it."
No one responded to Old Li's words, but the same thought arose in their minds—
"Is there really a way to kill him once, given how strong he is?"
He was resurrected before he could fully process the Weird Tale.
As mentioned before, the resurrection process after digesting the Weird Tale involves reviving within the body of the Innate Supernatural Tale. However, if you haven't completed digestion, during revival, "parts that don't belong to the Innate Supernatural Tale" will appear within its body. Then, the Innate Supernatural Tale will be directly contaminated by "unrecognizable information," transforming into a powerful Omen with Weird Tale characteristics.
As for digesting the Progenitor Supernatural Tale, it involves a question of degree.
To digest the Progenitor Supernatural Tale, one must first have a high degree of compatibility to avoid turning them into Omen; secondly, one must have a strong sense of self to avoid being assimilated by Progenitor Supernatural Tale.
Then the problem arises--
The more parts of your body that don't belong to the Progenitor Supernatural Tale, the stronger your self-awareness will be when you digest them; however, the lower the compatibility Progenitor Supernatural Tale and you will be.
Conversely, if you have more elements of Progenitor Supernatural Tale in your body, your compatibility will increase, but your self-awareness will also weaken.
Therefore, the weaker the Progenitor Supernatural Tale is, the easier it is to digest. Conversely, if more Supernatural Tale Entry are created, or the Progenitor Supernatural Tale Trait are strengthened too much, the difficulty of digestion will increase exponentially.
In the text, the Sea Monk, whose strength Weird Tale of supernatural phenomenon, is basically assimilated once it is absorbed.
If there are multiple Weird Tale, the process of absorbing them may result in contamination by the Progenitor Supernatural Tale.
However, as the saying goes, extremes meet. If the quantity and quality of Weird Tale can be pushed to their limits, then the Progenitor Supernatural Tale will only be a tiny fraction, just as real people can consume Omen. When the difference in information volume is large enough, pollution becomes insignificant.
Of course, this is basically impossible for the deeply entrenched and difficult-to-resolve issues of the Hundred Tales master.
