But running was not easy either.
The creature seemed to have sensed Meng Chao's intentions.
It also seemed to have seized the precious moment when Meng Chao and Lu Siya were struggling in the mudslide to successfully devour Lu Siya's soul and obtain full control over her body.
A confident laughter came from the darkness in the depths of the mudslide.
In an instant, the situation changed. The hunter and prey switched places.
The four stone dragons pounced on Meng Chao fiercely.
It was as if they had been given the characteristics of a Crystalline Nine-headed Dragon. No matter how Meng Chao slashed and cut off their heads, they could form new heads with huge mouths and fangs.
They formed new heads with gaping mouths and fangs as they were replenished by the endless stream of mudslide.
Bang!
After the 104th slash filled with destructive spirit energy, the cracked Surging Lightning finally shattered. Only the hilt and the blade, which was a few centimeters long, were left in Meng Chao's hands.
The four stone dragons launched an attack that could overturn rivers and seas. Even though they did not manage to break Meng Chao's crossed arms, they created huge vortexes in the mudslide.
The vortexes tore at each other, causing Meng Chao to feel the world spinning and his head to become dizzy.
He had to burn all his fuel like a rocket breaking free of gravity before he could poke his head out of the mudslide and breathe in the air that was too fresh and gave off a horrible stench.
The storm raged on top of the mudslide, and the mountain torrent was fierce. The spirit energy magnetic field of God Fog Mountain was so chaotic that it was like a superstorm.
Meng Chao felt that his lower body was in the mudslide, and he was like a small fish in a whirlpool.
His upper body that was above the water was like a dizzy bird whose wings were snapped in a storm.
His upper and lower body were twisted clockwise and anticlockwise by two astonishing and monstrous forces, causing his spine, which was as sturdy as an aquatic dragon's after it was strengthened by Divine Nine Dragon Seals, to feel a stab of pain, as if it was about to shatter.
He suspected that in the next second, he would be twisted in half by the rampaging power of nature, and his organs would splatter all over the ground.
Meng Chao coughed up blood, and his vision gradually became blurry. It was as if the mudslide had surged into his brain, and darkness was about to envelop the entire world.
He could only bite the tip of his tongue and swallow the blood. Relying on the hundreds of thousands of contribution points that he had accumulated earlier, he exchanged them for healing energy and stimulated his torn cells so that they could grow and heal themselves again and again.
Only then would he be able to withstand the next tearing that would be even fiercer and more painful.
Just like that, he struggled in the mudslide for a long time.
No one knew how many times he had crushed the four Rock Dragons with his fists, kicks, and even his teeth.
The tearing force that could tear one's body to shreds gradually dissipated like a receding tide.
Meng Chao finally regained control of his body bit by bit.
Wiping away the three to five kilograms of mud on his face, he found that he had been washed halfway up the mountain by the mudslide, into a slightly flat valley.
It was the place where he had rested before he went up the mountain, and it was the place where he could see the intersection of Red Dragon River and Tiger's Fury River.
The four stone dragons that had bitten him relentlessly and had been smashed, kicked, and bitten into pieces countless times by him had all disappeared.
Perhaps, they had finally exhausted the strange vitality that their creator had bestowed upon them and died completely.
But Meng Chao could not feel happy at all.
It was not just because his body was covered in wounds caused by sharp branches, stones, and crystal shards.
He had been submerged in the mudslide for too long and had lost too much blood. His wounds had turned white, and no matter how he tried to repair them, they could not be healed within a short period of time.
His bones and joints looked as if they had been crushed by a ten-thousand-ton hydraulic press and then glued together with glue.
If he moved even the slightest bit, he would feel pain that made him want to roll around on the ground and cry for help.
It was not just because his body was empty. All the spirit meridians, including the dragon meridians, were like earthworms that had been dried up by the sun.
They could not even straighten up, much less swell up and release heat.
But also because …
He saw an unbelievable sight.
It had only been one to two hours since he went up the mountain.
The platform he had once rested on had completely changed its appearance.
A lot of lush green grass, shrubs, and vines had grown on the originally dark mountain rocks.
The soil that had been washed clean by the storm was replaced by large patches of moss, fungi, and algae.
Colorful flowers bloomed on the fungi that looked like a green ocean.
There were also a lot of strange plants that even Meng Chao, the harvester, could not name. They were growing madly as the rain poured down on them.
It was like a miniature forest that was full of life even though it was as small as a sparrow's.
Storm, mountain torrents, lightning … All sorts of forces could not stop the fungi, spores, and plants in the miniature forest from releasing the strongest, most surging, and most exciting life force.
But this life force made Meng Chao feel a chill run down his spine, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Because he recognized two of the most iconic creatures.
One of them was the green tide.
It had terrifying splitting, reproducing, and self-healing abilities. It could even cover the high-voltage electricity towers of humans and control steel to turn into green giants.
The second was the Blood Flowers.
They were the old enemies of Dragon Citizens. They could turn the already terrifying monsters into undead creatures that were ten times more terrifying.
It was a green tide.
A bright red Blood Flower.
Swaying freely in the storm, he stretched his limbs.
And between the green tide, the Blood Flowers, and the crazily growing etherealized plants was a huge flower bud.
The flower bud had a diameter of more than three meters. It was surrounded by countless vines and blood tattoos, and it looked like a huge cocoon or an Apocalyptic Beast's huge egg.
Its growth, expansion, and splitting speed was one hundred times faster than that of a normal cocoon or monster egg.
When Meng Chao's gaze landed on the huge flower bud, cracking sounds came from within it. Red and green spores gushed out like fog.
'This is … the presence of an Apocalyptic Beast!'
Meng Chao's pupils shrank into two quivering sparks.
He had smelled a similar presence before.
In the depths of the monsters' nests, the ultimate Apocalyptic Beasts were born in the crystal clusters and the carcasses of the ultimate Apocalyptic Beasts that had yet to mature.
But the presence in front of him was one hundred times stronger than that of the immature Apocalyptic Beasts.
It was so strong that it did not seem like any Apocalyptic Beast that humans had ever seen before.
Instead, it was the amalgamation of all the Apocalyptic Beasts.
It was an existence that could be mentioned in the same breath as the ancient beasts that had once charged at the orbital space stations of the Celestials during ancient times.
Meng Chao instantly realized something.
He had not escaped from the landslide and reached the shore.
Instead, it was the mysterious power hidden in the mudslide that had brought him to this' miniature jungle 'that was a hundred times more dreadful than the mudslide!
He wanted to jump back into the landslide.
Right when he exerted strength in his limbs, the soil under him became as soft as quicksand, and he sank into it.
In the 'quicksand' near his hands and feet, hundreds of seemingly thin and feeble sprouts crawled out and grew crazily at a visible speed, entangling his limbs in the blink of an eye.
The sprouts were covered in sharp sawteeth and spikes that could not be seen with the naked eye. They dug into his flesh and quickly sucked his blood and spirit energy. Stimulated by his flesh and blood, they continued growing, and they looked like they were about to sink into his body.
Meng Chao struggled, but the more he struggled, the more excited the sprouts became.
After much difficulty, he gathered four hot spirit flames and burned all the sprouts that bound his limbs.
The huge flower bud in front of him had already exploded amidst a series of crackling sounds that sounded like firecrackers.
Its outer shell split into eight petals.
Each petal had a pattern that was even more dazzling than the Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetle's wings. They spread out and covered the entire mini jungle.
The petals were as thin as cicada wings. They were crystalline and soft, as if they were boneless. They covered the entire mini jungle with a mysterious veil.
It caused the green tide, Blood Flowers, and all the etherealized plants to shine with even more bewitching, mysterious, and dazzling colors.
It was so bright that it could not be described with words. It was like a Demonic Flower from the Outer Sky that had flown over from the depths of the universe on a meteor.
Lu Siya looked like she had just woken up from a long hibernation at the center of the blooming Demonic Flower. She leaned against the throne formed by the neon pistils in a rather lackadaisical manner. She rested her chin on one hand and thought quietly.
Then, she let out a light yawn.
Then, he stretched his body comfortably.
Only then did she calmly stand up from the center of the Demonic Flower from the Outer Sky.
She narrowed her eyes and simply allowed the storm and lightning to strike her face and body. She sensed and enjoyed the brand new world to her heart's content, and her lips curled up into a satisfied smile, as if she had gotten what she wanted.
In the end, she cast Meng Chao a glance with the ghost of a smile.
Meng Chao's heart instantly froze and shattered.
This was not the Lu Siya he knew.
The "Big Sis Ya" in front of him had a head full of bewitching green hair that was even longer. It was like a green waterfall that flowed all the way to the soles of her feet. It wrapped around the vital parts of her body and condensed into something that was between a flexible battle suit and a rigid armor.
It provided a powerful defense and increased her fighting strength.
It also made her body, which was already moving up and down, look even more bewitching.
Besides, no one knew whether it was her hair, armor, or weapons, but it seemed to have a life of its own.
As Lu Siya frowned, smiled, and breathed, her long green hair moved and grew in a strange rhythm. It moved around her towering chest, her soft waist, her round hips, her toned legs, her delicate ankles, her nearly perfect arches, and her toes. It crawled into the ground under her feet and blended perfectly with the green tide, red flowers, vines, etherealized plants, and the entire miniature forest.
It made Meng Chao have a terrifying thought. "Lu Siya" and the entire miniature forest are her "complete" form!
