Roar...
In an angry roar, the Giant Salamander stared at Lin Sheng with blood-red eyes full of resentment.
The next moment, the blue patterns on both sides of its body lit up, and a brilliant electric light, like a giant python, instantly shot out, heading straight for Lin Sheng.
The speed was extremely fast; there was no chance to react, and the electric light had already landed on Lin Sheng's body.
Zizila...
Amidst the dense sound of electric current, Lin Sheng's massive figure was enveloped by countless electric lights.
A scorched smell spread out, mixed with whiffs of enticing meat aroma.
Seeing this scene, a human-like look of satisfaction appeared in the blood-red eyes of the Giant Salamander fierce beast.
Twisting its fat body, it charged towards Lin Sheng at an extremely fast speed.
Its tongue had been torn off by Lin Sheng and hadn't recovered yet, otherwise it wouldn't have needed to go over itself.
Just as it approached, the Giant Salamander suddenly stopped moving, vaguely sensing an inexplicable crisis coming from the front.
As a genuine high-level Spirit Beast, it possessed a strong ability to sense danger.
This ability had allowed it to avoid many dangers. Sensing something was wrong at this moment, it reacted extremely quickly, immediately pulled back, and wanted to go beneath the lake.
Boom...
And just at this moment, dense air explosion sounds came, and the tall Divine Transformation Realm surrounded by countless electric lights suddenly moved, shooting out at an extremely fast speed.
Before the Giant Salamander could escape into the lake, a scarlet hand, like a sky-covering demonic claw wrapped in raging flames, had already grabbed its tail.
A tyrannical force erupted, dragging it out of the lake and throwing it onto the lake shore.
Bang!
With a muffled thud, the Giant Salamander's heavy body crashed heavily onto the ground, kicking up a large cloud of dust.
Electric light surged in the dust, and two beams of electric light shot out, heading straight for Lin Sheng.
The speed of the electric light was extremely fast, completely unavoidable, and it landed precisely on Lin Sheng's body.
Lin Sheng's footsteps paused slightly, and the next moment he rushed towards the shore at an even faster speed.
Before getting close, he pointed a finger, and a profound azure force shot out, landing in the Giant Salamander's wide-open maw.
Causing the electric light that had just condensed in its mouth to extinguish.
Sensing a huge threat, electric light several times denser than before quickly condensed from its mouth, but by this time, Lin Sheng had already reached the shore.
As the dense and brilliant electric light surged out of its mouth, a scarlet hand also tore through the air and smashed into its wide-open maw.
The large hand collided with the electric light, scales flew off the scarlet hand, and the extremely strong arm seemed unable to withstand the tyrannical power within the electric light, starting to dissolve at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The flesh of the five thick fingers, like iron rods, had dissolved by more than half, revealing stark white bones, yet they still landed in the foul-smelling mouth with undiminished momentum.
Peng!
Amidst the loud noise, the Giant Salamander's head shattered explosively.
Large amounts of flesh and blood fragments flew horizontally, splashing all over the ground.
The electric light on Lin Sheng's body dissipated, the muscles of his right arm, where the flesh had dissolved, rapidly grew, and in the space of a breath, it had recovered as before.
"Good beast..."
Lin Sheng exhaled, looking at the headless corpse of the Giant Salamander.
The strength of this large salamander was very strong, much more difficult to deal with than the likes of the Giant Spirit Bear back then.
Although its speed wasn't fast, its stealth ability was extremely strong and difficult to detect, and its recovery ability was also not weak. Most notably, it could actually attack with lightning.
The destructive power of the electric light it emitted was extremely strong, especially the last beam of electric light just now, which was astonishingly destructive, definitely exceeding the scope of the Bone Transformation Realm.
It was precisely because his physical resilience was extremely high and his recovery ability was extremely strong, otherwise even a Martial Artist at the Peak of the Bone Transformation Realm would instantly die if hit by this electric light.
Looking at his arm that had recovered as before, Lin Sheng inserted his palm into the remaining body of the Giant Salamander, preparing to refine it into his body.
This salamander was definitely a top-tier high-level Spirit Beast. The activation progress it could bring after being absorbed would definitely not disappoint.
However, when Lin Sheng inserted his palm into the remaining body, his expression suddenly changed.
"Not dead!!"
He raised an eyebrow, a hint of ferocity appearing on his face.
At this moment, the System panel indicated that the activation progress of his fourth imprint had increased by 5%, but there was no prompt about entering the body, clearly indicating that this high-level Spirit Beast had not truly died.
And at this moment, the remaining corpse of the Giant Salamander in front of him quickly shriveled and withered, soon becoming an empty shell, further confirming his guess.
Lin Sheng's expression was somewhat ugly. He immediately switched to a high-perception strange beast to maximize his perception.
Soon, he detected a hint of a clue.
A weak aura had appeared in the lake, rapidly moving away from him.
"I'd like to see where you can run!?"
Lin Sheng's voice turned cold, and his body, like a large bird, quickly rushed towards the weak aura he perceived.
The owner of that weak aura in his perception was precisely a Giant Salamander shrunk a hundredfold.
This was clearly a means of escape for it.
Seemingly realizing it had been exposed, this miniature version of the Giant Salamander's escape speed increased slightly.
However, it now seemed significantly weaker than before, and its escape speed had also decreased.
The distance between the two was gradually closing.
Realizing there was no possibility of escape in the lake, after a short while, the miniature Giant Salamander darted up to the opposite bank and agilely rushed into the mountain forest.
Soon, Lin Sheng's figure also landed on the bank, chasing after the other party.
Naturally, he couldn't let the fat meat that was about to reach his mouth escape.
At this time, the distance between the two had closed to several hundred meters.
Such a distance was naturally nothing to Lin Sheng; he could catch up to it in at most another ten-odd breaths of time.
And just at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
The ground beneath the feet of the Giant Salamander, which was fleeing in a panic, suddenly shattered, and then a fleshy tail covered in thick grey scales broke out of the ground, directly coiling around the Giant Salamander before it could react.
Roar...
The Giant Salamander immediately let out a roar of fear. And the next moment, an ugly head covered in grey scales emerged from the ground. Without giving the Giant Salamander any time to breathe, it opened its wide maw and swallowed the Giant Salamander in one gulp.
"Damn..."
Seeing this scene, the ferocity in Lin Sheng's heart surged.
He hadn't expected the fat meat that was about to reach his mouth to be lost just like that.
At this moment, the ground in front churned, and the grey-scaled monster completely drilled out of the ground. This was a powerful fierce beast twenty meters long, resembling a giant crocodile.
Only, on its head grew two extending horns, and its entire body exuded a fierce, frenzied aura.
Roar—
Swallowing the Giant Salamander seemed to be an extremely enjoyable thing for it. This giant crocodile let out a satisfied roar towards the sky.
However, soon, its brownish-yellow pupils sensed something and turned to look at Lin Sheng standing several hundred meters away.
Vaguely, it felt that there was something on his body that was extremely attractive to it.
It seemed that if it ate him, it could bring great benefits to itself.
"Bastard, you ate my stuff..."
Raging flames surged up from Lin Sheng's body, and an extremely dangerous aura emanated from him. The flames in his golden pupils flickered, containing unspeakable brutality.
"Then pay with your life..."
As his voice fell, his figure had already disappeared from the spot.
Roar...
And at this moment, the giant crocodile fierce beast could no longer hold back. Driven by the greed originating from its Bloodline, it charged towards Lin Sheng like a land battle vehicle.
Wherever it passed, ancient trees blocking its path were as fragile as paper, shattering upon contact.
The closer it got, the more the crocodile fierce beast felt the aura emanating from the other party made it increasingly crave.
Crush him, eat him...
This was the only thought in the crocodile fierce beast's mind.
The crocodile fierce beast's heavy fleshy tail struck first, slicing through the air.
Its body was huge, and its fleshy tail was like a giant pillar, carrying more than hundreds of thousands of catties of Giant Strength.
Compared to it, Lin Sheng only extended a scarlet hand, a vast difference in comparison.
A human-like look of mockery appeared in the crocodile strange beast's eyes.
The next instant, the two figures with vastly different sizes collided.
Boom...
The mockery in the crocodile strange beast's eyes dissipated, replaced by astonishment.
Scales flew off its fleshy tail, while that figure actually stood rooted to the spot, not moving at all.
Just as it wanted to make its next move, it met those golden pupils. What horrified it was that on the face of the tiny figure in its eyes, muscles were wriggling like a dragon.
An inexplicable fear rapidly rose in its heart.
The intelligence of high-level Spirit Beasts was extremely high, no lower than that of humans.
Roar...
Just as fear overcame the greed in its heart and it wanted to pull back, a dragon roar full of ferocious meaning exploded by its ear.
The crocodile fierce beast only felt the suppression originating from its Bloodline 襲來 madly, causing its movements to freeze and its consciousness to be filled with fear.
However, it was a high-level Spirit Beast after all. The threat of life and death forced it to break free from the Bloodline fear.
And at this moment, what came into view was a large hand carrying raging flames.
Puchi...
The scarlet large hand plunged into the massive pupil of the crocodile strange beast without any obstruction.
The raging flames containing terrifying high temperature and force completely erupted.
The crocodile fierce beast's body immediately trembled violently.
However, it soon fell to the ground, fire light surged from its body, and its life force was extinguished in an instant.
This time, Lin Sheng didn't delay at all. He immediately stepped forward and dealt two more blows, and after confirming its complete death, the fire light around his body dissipated.
"Pah, bastard..."
He inserted his palm into its wound, and a series of information immediately appeared before him.
【Beast Name: Di Sha Pig Dragon (Spirit Beast)】
【Body length several tens of meters, body covered in crystal rock carapace, possessing boundless Giant Strength, tough skin and thick flesh, tenacious life force. This is a top-tier high-level Spirit Beast, but unfortunately, its potential is difficult to advance further...】
【Body Integration Requirement: Constitution 9 Strength 9】
【Body Integration Effect: Strength Increase 12 Constitution Increase 11 Agility Increase 5】
【Talent: Gold Swallowing】
"A total attribute increase of twenty-eight points is not bad, so it's not too much of a loss."
After reading the information on this crocodile fierce beast, Lin Sheng exhaled, his expression easing somewhat.
This Spirit Beast named Di Sha Pig Dragon was clearly stronger than the Giant Spirit Bear; it could be considered an enlarged version of the Giant Spirit Bear.
It just didn't have the explosive power of the Giant Spirit Bear's Level 3 Great Strength Talent.
As Lin Sheng's thoughts flickered, he had already successfully integrated it into his body and simultaneously swallowed and refined all of its blood.
The activation progress of the fourth imprint on the panel was constantly fluctuating.
Having previously swallowed some of the Giant Salamander strange beast's blood, his activation progress had already reached 85%.
Until he had completely swallowed the Di Sha Pig Dragon's blood, the panel also settled at 96%.
It was only 4% away from complete activation.
"It's a pity that salamander was swallowed, otherwise it would definitely have been completely activated."
Lin Sheng felt a bit regretful.
This Di Sha Pig Dragon also had injuries on its body, and its vitality was somewhat damaged, otherwise it might have also successfully activated it.
From the auras of the Di Sha Pig Dragon and that salamander, Lin Sheng could basically confirm that these two big guys were precisely the two high-level Spirit Beasts he had been pursuing that were fighting each other.
That Giant Salamander also had some injuries on its body, which should have been left from their last fight.
The strength of these two big guys was not weak; they were much stronger than ordinary high-level Spirit Beasts. It seemed they had been fighting for a long time, and from the results, it seemed neither could do anything to the other.
Due to his own actions, that Giant Salamander was severely injured, feigned death and escaped, ultimately benefiting this Di Sha Pig Dragon.
While speculating in his heart, Lin Sheng suddenly seemed to think of something.
Tearing open the body of the Di Sha Pig Dragon, which had already shrunk by several circles, his eyes quickly lit up, and he pulled out a shapeless lump of flesh from it.
Although it had dissolved somewhat, upon closer inspection, one could still discern some resemblance to a Giant Salamander.
"As expected, it hasn't been completely digested yet."
Lin Sheng was delighted. He didn't mind the mucus covering the lump of flesh. He pierced its skin with his palm and immediately began to absorb it quickly.
And just at this moment, the distant colorful poisonous barrier churned.
Lin Sheng's body suddenly trembled, and an inexplicable sense of crisis arose in his heart.
But he immediately switched to the Smelling Groundhog, activating its Intermediate danger sensing talent.
Instantly, that sense of crisis magnified to a near-tangible degree.
Lin Sheng's expression changed. Without the slightest hesitation, ignoring the Giant Salamander blood he hadn't finished absorbing, his figure immediately plunged into the ground.
And a few breaths later, black-brown fleshy tentacles emerged from the ground. The tentacles intertwined, revealing an ugly, tumor-like head. Its eerie green eyes emitted green light, constantly scanning the surroundings.
Sweeping over the remaining corpses of the Di Sha Pig Dragon and the Giant Salamander on the ground, the eerie green eyes were full of indifference. As if it hadn't found what it wanted, large mouths filled with stark white sharp teeth grew on the tumor-like head.
Emitting a strange cry.
Zzz—
The cry quickly spread outwards. Wherever it passed, whether it was venomous insects, birds, or beasts, even high-level Spirit Beasts, after hearing this sound, their eyes would fall into a daze, standing still rooted to the spot. Soon, they would walk towards the source of the sound, though their movements appeared slightly stiff.
And at this time, several thousand meters underground, the strange cry entered Lin Sheng's eardrums.
Lin Sheng, who was fleeing rapidly, only felt a needle-like pain assault his consciousness. What chilled him even more was that his control over his body was constantly weakening.
It seemed to want to turn around and return the way it came.
"Not good..."
He muttered inwardly, enduring the pain in his consciousness, suppressing the body's abnormal movements, and simultaneously immediately integrated the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey into his body, activating the Heart Monkey Talent.
With the additional point of mental attribute increase, although the pain in his consciousness didn't decrease much, it allowed him to barely suppress the body's abnormal movements and control his figure to quickly move away.
After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the strange sound dissipated, and the intense pain in his mind finally faded away.
At this moment, his clothes were already soaked with sweat, his face was slightly pale, and his entire body seemed severely overdrawn.
