The cold brilliance of the two bright moons shrouded the hundreds of millions of green mottled giant trees in the Oasis World.
The short trees were more than 100 meters high while the tall ones seemed to be able to hold up the sky. Countless tree crowns spread out in the air, covering all of the moonlight tightly.
There were no gaps in the jungle in the air, but the gap between the trees on the ground was huge. Other than the protruding thick rhizomes between the two trees, there were also countless weeds that were more than half a meter tall and colorful slippery mosses and mushrooms that could reach a person's ankles.
In this country that seemed to be where giants lived, Zhang Lisheng, who had regained his normal body shape, was sitting on the protruding rhizomes of a big tree that stretched upward for thousands of meters. His body was covered with the flesh and blood of beasts that had been enchanted by witchcraft and was being surrounded by thousands of insects that were devouring his flesh and skin.
By right, the young man, who weighed just over 50 kilograms, should have been gnawed into a pile of bones by the insects in less than a second. However, in reality, he was very chewy. Even though his body was covered with holes and countless poisonous insects were drilling in his bloody body, there was still rotten flesh hanging on his skeleton and he did not die.
On the contrary, the insects that were drilling in Zhang Lisheng's body gradually melted like candles that had encountered a bonfire after a while, turning into drops of thick liquid that emitted a strange stench. They slid down from his body and corroded the roots of the big tree that protruded several dozens of meters on the ground like a giant python, causing it to be covered with scars.
This strange and tragic scene was horrifying, and the pain that Zhang Lisheng, who was immersed in it, was even more unimaginable. However, as his face twisted and twitched violently, he was still shouting in joy, "It's not a solution to blindly build a cart behind closed doors! This trip to China is really worth it! It's really worth it …"
His shout was drowned out by the flapping wings and chirping of the insects that resonated in the world, leaving only the crazy smile on the young man's face that was covered with holes and blood skeleton-like face.
When insects crawled into his mouth from the holes on his cheeks or nostrils, he would bite them, chew them, and swallow them into his stomach. Whenever this happened, white granulation could be faintly seen growing out from all over his body.
Time passed slowly. Gradually, the full moon set in the sky and the sun rose.
At this moment, the witchcraft incantation that lasted for the entire night began to lose its bewitching power. At this time, as his witchcraft cultivation progressed, the ordinary poisonous insects would suddenly shrink dozens of times when they got close to him. The insect that was originally the size of a thumb would suddenly become the size of a larva. For this reason, he could no longer attract any new insects. The insect fog that had its source cut off soon disappeared into the young man's body.
As the bug mist dissipated, the flesh and blood on his body grew. Gradually, the bloody holes on Zhang Lisheng's body became shallower and filled up. Then, the remaining skin on his body began to grow and extend, turning into a complete piece of human skin again.
After recovering, there was no trace of blood on the young man's face. He was yellow and skinny like a bag of bones. He sat quietly for a long time before letting out a long sigh of relief. He opened his eyes and stood up shakily.
"He actually made it through. He lured over ten million venomous insects in one go and used the most brutal and high-tier cultivation method to cultivate the Insect Nest Art. I wonder if Great Shaman Chen's eyeballs will pop out of his sockets if he sees this.
However, speaking of this witchcraft cultivation method, it must have the effect of making a person insane and confused. Otherwise, I might not have been able to persevere through it.
I've lost a lot of my vital energy and blood! I must replenish my vital energy and blood now … "He muttered to himself as light black scales that were almost colorless grew out of his body. With a leap, he disappeared without a trace in the air.
After a while, a monster that was about 17 to 18 meters long and seemed to weigh several dozens of tons, with a deer's head and cow's body covered in black wrinkled hard skin, with sharp teeth, was hiding behind a tree, staring at a group of beautiful yellow-spotted little beasts that were eating mushrooms on the ground with its blood-red eyes. All of a sudden, a whooshing sound resonated on its neck, and its head fell off silently.
Then, amidst the rain of blood, a slender monster's figure was vaguely revealed, covered in blood. A few seconds later, it suddenly turned into a ferocious giant that was more than ten meters tall, with muscles as solid as steel. It roared and swallowed the giant beast that had a deer's head and a cow's body whole.
"Actually, it's not that disgusting to eat beef sashimi …" After swallowing a large amount of bloody food and transforming the Money Toad's incarnation into a lizard to hide, Zhang Lisheng endured the nausea and comforted himself. Then, he walked and leaped agilely in the foreign world's forest and returned to the campsite.
After revealing himself in the bathroom, the young man looked at himself in the mirror. Other than a little more tiredness on his face, there was not much difference compared to last night. Then, he looked at the clothes rack and saw that the clothes he had taken off were still in the same place. At once, he could not help but feel relieved.
After taking a shower in a good mood, he put on his clothes and walked out of the bathroom to return to his wire bed. After he had truly relaxed, he thought of his harvest and could not help but have a surge of new ideas. At once, he could not help but secretly calculate, "When I've just become a wizard, I can already command four ordinary wizard gus. Based on this, I'll be able to command eight ordinary wizard gus that have been refined once I become a Rank-2 Wizard.
When I become a Rank-3 Wizard, the consumption of twice refined wizard gus will increase, so I can't double it. Still, I can still reach about 14 and a half … Rank-5 Wizard will be able to command 36 ordinary wizard gus that have been refined four times.
After transforming into Mountoad, I can be considered to have completely broken away from the shackles of a mortal. Even though the power of the ordinary wizard gus that have been refined six times has also gone up to a huge level, it's not a transformation after all. The number of wizard gus that I can command will still increase by six times. This also coincides with the fact that there will be a change in witchcraft every six times.
Six times of 36 times would be 216, and when I reach Rank-7 Wizard, it would be 432 … Rank-9 Wizard, it would be 1777!
1777, 1777 … In the ancient book of the Gate of Witchcraft's library, it's written that the witchcraft powerhouses who have been honed from mountains of corpses and seas of blood to protect the human tribes in ancient times would have their own unique battle tactics.
These 1777 eight-refined wizard gus that can be enlarged and shrunk by 36 times are the unique battle tactics that I, Zhang Lisheng, have created by combining the God-given witchcraft and the witchcraft that I've cultivated … "The more he calculated, the more excited he became. Jumping off the bed, he began to mutter to himself and paced back and forth in the tent. Due to the fact that he was too focused, he did not smell the unique fragrance of the girl at all.
As he walked, a sharp expression appeared on the young man's face. Then, the ferocious intent that rose from it broke through the restraint of the Mask of the Comedy King that was stuck on his forehead and gushed out vigorously. Pei Youliang, who had just woken up and carefully peeked his eyes out from under the thin blanket, saw everything.
A wave of spiritual impact that seemed to have materialized caused this Gate of Witchcraft's silver-clothed disciple, who had been plagued with bad luck ever since he entered the Oasis World's campsite with Zhang Lisheng, to faint once again.
Of course, Zhang Lisheng did not care about the tragic experience of his roommate. By the time he had calmed down and the orderlies brought breakfast, he asked him why Pei Youliang did not eat anything for dinner yesterday. To his surprise, the young man used the excuse that Pei Youliang had the habit of not eating after noon to evade the question.
"Not eating after noon? I-Isn't he hungry? It's not good for this chief's body, right? Why don't I ask the kitchen to make some light food and send it over tonight?" Upon hearing Zhang Lisheng's words, the orderlies who were 18 or 19 years old could eat and drink well could not help but ask with concern.
"No need for that. Actually, it's better for the body to have such a restrained diet for a few days a month. Besides, didn't you see that Brother Pei sleeps all day and doesn't consume much energy?" As Zhang Lisheng was speaking, his heart jolted. "Besides, I'm planning to learn from him these few days. Don't send me dinner tonight, I want to clear my stomach as well."
"Chief, y-you're not eating dinner as well?"
"Yeah, I'm not eating anymore." Zhang Lisheng opened the food box and saw that the breakfast was porridge, fried pancakes, and several delicious pickles. Without saying anything more, he began to gorge himself.
Upon seeing his silence, Wang Liansheng's mouth moved but did not dare to say anything more. After pondering over it, he saluted. "Then, I'll ask the kitchen to increase the amount of food for lunch. Take your time to eat, Chief. I'll take my leave first." Then, he turned around and walked out of the tent in equal strides.
Just like this, Zhang Lisheng's sudden inspiration allowed him to have the entire afternoon free time.
At this time, he already felt that he had no other desire in his heart. Since he had no desire, he gradually became unscrupulous in his actions and began to take risks. After lunch, he would transform using the lizard's power and go to the foreign world's forest to practice witchcraft and collect wizard gus before returning to the campsite the next morning.
After three days of peaceful cycle, the young man finally welcomed the day when the Gate of Witchcraft's disciples would explore and sweep the northern jungle.
When the star that shone on the Oasis World had just risen slowly from the horizon, Zhang Lisheng, who was still drinking his soy milk, saw Min Lan, who was wearing a camouflage jacket, lifting the curtain and appearing in front of him.
The jacket was a military supply sent by the military at the campsite yesterday along with the lunch. It was thick and sturdy and was said to be made of a brand new material that could defend against the bite of large beasts. The young man was also wearing it.
"Sister, your camouflage jacket looks so valiant!" When Zhang Lisheng saw Min Lan, he said with a smile, "Are we leaving now? It's not even eight o 'clock yet."
"What valiant? When I encounter real danger, I'll just burst into pieces when I transform." Even though she said so, when Min Lan heard someone praising her, she still put on a happy smile. "Stop being so talkative. Hurry up and finish your soy milk. The armored car that will pick us up is already here.
Junior Brother Pei, hurry up and get up as well. Don't delay any longer. If you're really not feeling well, you can beg Big Boss Su to not be late. Otherwise, you'll really be in trouble. "
"Yes, yes! Thank you for reminding me, Senior Sister Min! I'll get up now!" Pei Youliang, whose face was as pale as paper, struggled to climb up from the wire bed. Staring at the ground, he did not even dare to glance at Zhang Lisheng out of the corner of his eyes. Slowly putting on his clothes, he staggered towards the curtain.
Looking at his half-dead look, Min Lan sighed in her heart. However, at this moment, she had no other choice but to turn around and leave the tent with Zhang Lisheng who walked briskly towards her.
