Besieging Golden Sand Island (8)
"How is that possible? Based on my previous observations, his strength is definitely not..." Qi Yunfei's mind raced. He clapped his hands, and an invisible force stabilized his body. But the next moment, Lu Li's figure appeared behind him.
Lu Li condensed his palm into a blade and swung it towards Qi Yunfei's body. A flash of light appeared in the air, and layers of transparent shields covered and protected Qi Yunfei.
The inner energy, infused with magic, condensed into a jet-black dagger. Activating the skills on the Shadow Spear, unnecessary modules were removed from the reaction, and the dagger, now equipped with modules for sharpness and speed, sliced through the layers of barriers, cutting them all in half.
Suddenly, several cuts appeared on Qi Yunfei's body, and some dark red blood splattered out, forming a shield in front of him. Lu Li's Short Blade pierced in a little, but could not go any further.
And the dark red blood seemed to be alive, wriggling and lunging towards Lu Li's hand. Lu Li an eyebrow, released his grip, and at the same time activated the subsequent changes attached to the Short Blade. A large cluster of shadowy Thorn erupted, tightly binding the target.
The blood was bubbling and gurgling, and the shadowy Thorn binding it were corroded into a black liquid, which was then swallowed by the blood with a slurping sound.
Qi Yunfei laughed maniacally, his words filled with smugness and resentment. "Hahaha, although I don't know why your strength suddenly increased, you're finished no matter what."
"Once the power of the Blood of Resentment is absorbed, it will transform into the monster that is most effective against you, and you will have no chance of winning against it." Qi Yunfei was withered and looked extremely pained.
Beneath his gelatinous skin, countless dark red blood vessels were visible, writhing beneath his skin. Suddenly, a large gash burst open in his chest, and countless dark red blood vessels rushed out from the opening, connecting to the constantly writhing blood monster.
Qi Yunfei's body felt as if it had been hollowed out; he could no longer stand and collapsed to his knees, his hands bracing against the ground. The dark red veins on his chest throbbed incessantly, as if they were drawing something from Qi Yunfei's body into the blood monster.
"I didn't expect you to be so strong, but it doesn't matter. The Blood of Resentment will kill you and then bring everything you have to me." Qi Yunfei's body quickly turned into skin and bones, and even his speech was extremely weak.
The blood monster in front of him writhed for a moment before suddenly bursting open, transforming into a group of small black monsters about half a meter tall. These monsters had no hands, necks, eyes, ears, or anything like that; they only had two small feet and a large, blood-red mouth in the center.
Each of these monsters had a blood vessel attached to its back, but soon these monsters seemed dissatisfied with the blood vessel on their backs. They hopped around, opened their blood-red mouths, and bit off the dark red blood vessel in one gulp.
Furthermore, these monsters found the blood vessels quite delicious, and like sucking on noodles, they hopped along their little feet, eating their way to Qi Yunfei's side.
"No... you monsters... how is this possible?" Qi Yunfei said in disbelief, then his bloodshot eyes turned to Lu Li, and he uttered a curse filled with extreme resentment, "It's all your fault! You ruined everything I had! You won't escape either! You'll be eaten alive by them! I curse you... ah!"
Lu Li watched as Qi Yunfei was swallowed whole by dozens of half-meter-tall monsters. When his dark red heart was dug out, it even caused a scramble among the monsters.
What truly made Lu Li take notice of this monster was that when they were devouring Qi Yunfei's shadow along with it, some of the smaller monsters, unable to get a piece of Qi Yunfei 'Qi Yunfei body, grabbed his shadow from the ground and frantically gnawed at it.
"A failed Implant Path?" Lu Li squinted and examined it. The blood monster's true form should be the one from the Ghoul Cave in the Merfolk instance. Hu Wenxu seemed to have castrated a part of that monster and Implantation into Qi Yunfei's body.
Whether it was the previous Implantation Aberrant bloodline or the Implantation of the Ghoul heart, it was all intended to allow Qi Yunfei to gradually devour the blood monster's abilities, just like an Implant Path. Little did he know that it would not succeed.
After absorbing Lu Li's abilities, these blood monsters evolved into a new form and regained their activity. They then casually devoured their host and, in the next moment, hopped and leaped towards Lu Li.
These half-meter-tall, shadowy monsters, with their blood-red mouths wide open, hopped and leaped as if they had found something extremely delicious. Dozens of them all rushed towards Lu Li.
Lu Li tried to release a ball of Shadow Magic, and the little monsters rushed over and began to devour it frantically. Suddenly, one of the monsters stopped eating, its body trembled, and then it suddenly spat out a black monster the size of a fist.
The fist-sized black monster shook off the slime on its body, stood up, and was clearly a miniature version of the monster. It flapped its short legs and came to the ball of Shadow Magic released by Lu Li. It opened its mouth, which was almost the same size as a normal person's, and began to gnaw on it, bite by bite. As it ate, its body continued to grow.
"Do they have the ability to reproduce?" Lu Li released another ball of Shadow Magic, and then more and more small monsters were spat out. In a short period of time, there were hundreds of these monsters.
Lu Li's Shadow Magic was quickly consumed, and then all the hundreds of monsters, big and small, turned their mouths toward Lu Li, hopping and skipping towards him again.
"Because it devoured my shadow before it Mutation, so it is particularly restrained by this ability?" Lu Li also understood why Qi Yunfei shouted like that before he died. This monster, which he called the Blood of Resentment, was indeed very terrifying. It evolved into a creature that could restrain the other party by absorbing the other party's characteristics.
Qi Yunfei may have used it before, but perhaps because he hadn't broken free from control, according to Qi Yunfei, the monster would give everything to the victim after killing him, so the blood still retained its Blood of Resentment appearance.
However, after he devoured the Thorn formed by Lu Li's Shadow Magic, he transformed into this small monster and broke free from Qi Yunfei's control, so he was fixed in this form and could not change back.
"Interesting. Hu Wenxu should still have the original form of the Blood of Resentment. I'll ask him for some next time as compensation for the trouble he caused me this time." Lu Li chuckled, not taking these little monsters seriously.
The skin beneath his feet burst open, and countless shadows surged forth, transforming into tentacles that bound the small monsters. These monsters opened their blood-red mouths and tried to bite into Lu Li's shadow tentacles, but found they couldn't bite them at all. Instead, their own vitality was absorbed by Lu Li, and they fell unconscious.
Because Lu Li is a monster far more terrifying than these monsters.
I suddenly felt something was wrong today, and then I realized that I skipped chapter 48 when I typed the title. It seems that VIP chapters cannot have their titles changed, so please ignore this.
