Roar!!
As Lin Sheng's attack landed on the fleshy egg, a sharp roar immediately came from within it, as if it was enduring immense pain.
And this was just the beginning; Lin Sheng's hands were like raindrops, his fierce attacks continuously falling upon the fleshy egg.
The powerful force caused deep indentations to appear on the fleshy egg.
The fleshy egg finally couldn't hold on. The strength in the tentacles that had tightly bound Lin Sheng loosened. Lin Sheng seized this opportunity, smashing out another punch before quickly retreating to avoid the large mouth biting towards him.
This punch directly sent the fleshy egg flying several meters backward.
A large number of tentacles flailed wildly, drawing streaks of cracks on the walls of the underground space.
After receiving numerous attacks, the fleshy egg was inevitably affected. Most of the dense tentacles retracted back into its body.
The indentations on the surface, although recovering at a visible speed, oozed threads of dark, viscous fluid.
"Get up, get up for me... Kill him!!"
Seeing that the strange beast he had painstakingly cultivated for many years seemed somewhat listless, Guo Feng, who was huddled in the corner, immediately shouted.
At the same time, he frantically chanted some inexplicable, complex characters, took out a black porcelain bottle from his Pregnant, and threw it directly into the giant egg's opened mouth.
In the blink of an eye, the fleshy egg's body began to bulge continuously, and its size was also slowly increasing, as if something was about to burst out from within.
Seeing this scene, Lin Sheng's brows furrowed. Although he didn't understand what was happening to this unknown monster before him, he knew without thinking that it wouldn't be anything good.
He tapped his toes on the ground and shot out, his target not the constantly agitated fleshy egg monster, but Guo Feng in the corner.
If he killed Guo Feng, he wouldn't need to continue entanglement with this fleshy egg monster; he could just leave.
Guo Feng also noticed this and roared sharply.
"Stop him for me, stop him for me!!"
The fleshy egg monster also seemed to sense something. The next moment, a giant fleshy tentacle composed of countless tentacles, like a python, whipped towards Lin Sheng.
At this moment, Lin Sheng was less than two or three meters away from Guo Feng, but the strong wind behind him had almost reached his back.
The fleshy tentacle sliced through the air, producing a series of sharp air blasts, making it easy to imagine the immense force it contained.
Even Lin Sheng dared not easily take it head-on. He immediately twisted his body nimbly like an ape, narrowly avoiding the fleshy tentacle.
However, Guo Feng, who was opposite Lin Sheng, wasn't so lucky. The fleshy tentacle missed its target and continued forward unabated. In Guo Feng's terrified eyes, the fleshy tentacle landed squarely on his body.
With a crisp 'snap', he was directly whipped away by the tentacle and deeply embedded in the wall behind him.
His entire body was almost torn in half by this strike.
"Uh..."
Guo Feng's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. He seemed to not have expected that he would die at the hands of the strange beast he had cultivated for years.
He let out a low, hoarse sound from his mouth, wanting to say something, but he couldn't speak anymore. Soon, his head drooped, and he lost his breath.
On the wall, Guo Feng's blood gushed out like a spring. The fleshy egg monster, which had killed its owner, seemed to have no hint of apology. Instead, it coiled a tentacle and pulled Guo Feng's two halves into its bloody maw.
The blood scattered on the wall was also instantly absorbed by tiny tentacles.
Seeing that Guo Feng was dead and his objective was achieved, Lin Sheng immediately turned and left, with no intention of staying.
He had just turned and taken a few steps when a sharp roar came from behind him.
Puff, puff, puff...
Sounds like tearing muscle came from the underground space. Lin Sheng turned his head and saw that the original large fleshy egg had completely burst open, and a monster over a meter tall and three meters long crawled out from it.
The reason it was called a monster was that the thing that crawled out was completely beyond Lin Sheng's expectation.
This was a deformed creature resembling a centipede, dark red all over. The countless limbs on both sides of its body were not centipede legs, but rather pale human hands.
Its whole body exuded an indescribable sinister aura.
"What in the world is this thing!!?"
Lin Sheng's heart sank slightly. From this monster, he felt a strong sense of oppression. Clearly, it was much stronger than its previous giant egg state.
Lin Sheng turned his head and continued running forward. He had no interest in fighting this monster.
This monster's vitality was much stronger than he had imagined. It had taken so many hits from him just now, yet it had become even more vigorous.
If he got entangled with this thing, it wouldn't be easy to get away. He might even be intercepted by the government's Blood Transportation Warriors.
However, he wanted to leave, but something didn't want to let him go just like that.
The centipede-shaped monster had already noticed him.
Its seemingly clumsy body erupted with speed that completely defied logic, sweeping towards Lin Sheng like a bloody whirlwind.
At the same time, small openings cracked on the monster's back, and a large number of slender tentacles surged out, sealing off the cave entrance before Lin Sheng could reach it, weaving a spiderweb-like network at the entrance.
"Damn!"
Seeing the exit sealed, Lin Sheng couldn't help but curse.
He then turned and rushed towards the other wall, intending to directly blast through it and escape.
However, the centipede monster seemed to have seen through his idea. Countless tentacles covered all the surrounding walls.
Seeing this, Lin Sheng's face darkened. He turned around, his gaze fixed on the centipede monster rushing towards him, let out a heavy breath, and a fierce look appeared on his face.
"You bastard, you're courting death, then I'll grant you your wish..."
As his voice fell, he had already rushed towards the centipede monster. He understood that if he didn't deal with this thing first, the possibility of leaving here was slim.
"Activate: Earth Affinity."
"Possess: Tusker Mountain Pig!"
Thoughts flickered in his mind. His already tall and sturdy figure expanded again, becoming extremely heavy, like a chest-high city wall, crashing towards the centipede monster.
Dense, sharp fleshy thorns stabbed towards him, but he paid no attention, letting the thorns land on his body.
But this time, the fleshy thorns couldn't penetrate his body at all.
Even with all their might, these fleshy thorns and tentacles could only barely penetrate an imperceptible fraction, and before they could do anything, they were swept by toxic blood, turning into black blood and squeezed out of his body.
Before the centipede monster could do anything else, Lin Sheng had already rushed close to it. His large, black hands, like palm-leaf fans, reached out, grabbing towards its grotesque and twisted head.
Seemingly sensing the threat, the centipede monster let out a sharp shriek from its mouth.
The next moment, dense, pale hands grew from its back, grabbing Lin Sheng's arms, preventing them from falling.
And the centipede monster, which followed closely behind, actually stood up on its hind limbs. Countless hands wrapped around Lin Sheng, tearing and scratching frantically, trying to tear Lin Sheng's strong body into pieces.
The strength in these dense hands was enormous. The power of each hand was no less than that of a Forging Tendons Late Stage Martial Artist. The power that could be unleashed with such a terrifying number was unimaginable.
However, no matter how these hands tore, the heavy body, like a city wall, was not affected in the slightest. The hands pulling were not like pulling a human body, but rather an unyielding iron mountain.
"Three Corpses Sever Soul!!"
Soon, a low roar came from within the dense hands. The hands binding the two black hands emitted plumes of black smoke, as if being scorched by flames.
"Ape Demon Ghost Decomposition!"
With another low roar, the unbound black hands, like demon claws covering the sky, slammed fiercely onto the centipede monster's head with lightning speed.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, the centipede monster's body paused, and the numerous surrounding tentacles also stopped swaying.
Crack!
The next moment, a sound like a cracked watermelon came out. The centipede monster's head directly shattered, splattering red and white viscous liquid, but more of it was translucent, foul mucus.
Lin Sheng roughly tore off the dense hands on his body and reached out his hand, wanting to probe into the monster's body.
Although this centipede monster looked quite disgusting, its strength was good. Although it couldn't be considered a Spirit Beast, it was indeed much stronger than high-grade ordinary strange beasts.
Perhaps it should be considered among the ranks of Pseudo-Spirit Beasts like the Crimson Belly Spirit Snake.
Having stayed in this world for so many days, he had deliberately collected information about strange beasts and truly understood the classification of Spirit Beasts.
At Zhenshan Tower, the hundred beast compendium recorded Forging Tendons Realm Spirit Beasts like the Crimson Belly Spirit Snake, and Blood Transportation Realm Spirit Beasts like the Silver-patterned Black Crocodile.
In fact, strictly speaking, this classification is not accurate.
Ordinary strange beasts, even high-grade elite strange beasts like the Black Tiger Ape, have their highest strength capped at the level equivalent to human Forging Tendons Martial Artists.
As for the higher Blood Transportation Realm, that is not something ordinary strange beasts can reach.
Any strange beast that can step into the Blood Transportation Realm can be called a Spirit Beast.
Whether it is a Spirit Beast is actually distinguished by the strange beast's Realm.
As for the Crimson Belly Spirit Snake on Yangping Mountain back then, it was a strange beast in between ordinary beasts and Spirit Beasts.
Its strength was much stronger than elite ordinary beasts, but it was still a bit weaker than true Spirit Beasts.
In terms of Realm classification, it was just one step away from entering the true Blood Transportation Realm.
Strange beasts of this level are called Pseudo-Spirit Beasts.
The centipede monster before him was a strange beast of this level.
However, he wasn't sure if it could be recognized by the mountain and sea scroll. He had to try it out.
Just as his hand was about to probe into the centipede monster's broken body.
From the chest cavity of the centipede monster, which had been motionless, a large hand suddenly extended out, a large hand formed by the convergence of countless hands.
The appearance of the large hand was sudden and extremely fast. Before Lin Sheng could react, it had landed squarely on his chest.
Lin Sheng felt as if his chest was struck by a ten-thousand-pound hammer. His body flew backward, slamming heavily into the wall on one side.
Penetrating several meters deep into the wall.
At this moment, the centipede monster's broken head actually began to recover at a visible speed. Countless hands filled in, and finally, the original head reformed.
The centipede monster, which had recovered, its countless compound eyes fixed on the large hole in the wall, then quickly crawled towards it.
However, just as it crawled to the edge of the large hole, a large hand reached out from inside and landed a solid punch on its head, punching through its newly recovered head. Then, a kick was sent out, kicking the centipede monster's twisted body into the opposite wall.
But soon, the centipede monster crawled out of the wall again. The man and the monster collided once more, and muffled sounds continuously echoed in the underground space.
In just over ten breaths, the underground space had already become a ruin.
"It's still not dead!!"
Amidst the flying dust, Lin Sheng frowned, looking at the centipede monster crawling out of the rubble.
In the previous exchange, he didn't know how many heavy blows he had dealt to this centipede monster, but the other party was still able to recover.
Such powerful recovery ability was simply too abnormal. Perhaps it could already be compared to Spirit Beasts that focus on defense and recovery.
His clothes were torn at this time, but his condition was still acceptable.
However, he couldn't continuously maintain the Earth Affinity talent for too long. If he hadn't possessed the Tusker Mountain Pig with the second imprint, gaining an additional two points of Physique bonus, he would have been close to his limit by now.
But even so, he estimated that he could only last for about ten more breaths.
And although the centipede monster opposite him was recovering much slower than before, he still wasn't confident he could finish it off within ten breaths.
"Forget it, leave first. Can't delay any longer."
With this thought flashing in his mind, he pushed off the ground with his feet and ran backward, but tentacles had already drilled out of the ground, wrapping around his legs.
"Endless..."
Lin Sheng's face turned grim. He kicked his legs, forcefully breaking these tentacles.
This centipede monster was extremely difficult to deal with. It had strong vitality, was fast, and was very skilled in control.
Instead of choosing to leave immediately, he turned back and rushed forward. His large hands rained down on the centipede monster's body. Finally, he used both hands together, grabbing the centipede monster's body and pulling it apart, crashing it into the underground rubble pile.
Bang, bang, bang...
With a series of muffled sounds, the man and the monster were pulled out of the ground for over ten meters.
Lin Sheng suddenly felt the force loosen. He had actually crashed into another underground space with the centipede monster.
"Here..."
He just glanced at this space, which was only the size of a single room, and paid no further attention. Instead, he mobilized all the strength in his body.
"Open for me!!"
He roared.
Rip—
The centipede monster was actually torn apart by Lin Sheng. Except for some connection at the tail, it was almost torn in half.
Even in this state, the centipede monster did not die. Instead, a large number of hands extended from the two broken halves of its body and reconnected, but the speed was much slower than at the beginning.
At this recovery speed, he had enough time to leave here. It was just a pity he couldn't possess this damn thing.
Except for some red and white viscous liquid that appeared when he first smashed its head, no matter how he injured it afterward, not a drop of blood flowed out, which made it impossible for him to possess it at all.
"Its weakness is in the tail... The tail is its center. Completely smashing its tail should make it unable to recover..."
Just as Lin Sheng was about to leave, a weak and listless voice sounded.
