Upon seeing Zhang Lisheng's ghost-like appearance, Guo Caiying, Ai Chuhe, and Xu Naijia, who had been in a state of panic ever since the young man jumped away, unwittingly calmed down. It was apparent that no matter how they felt about the young man, Zhang Lisheng had become their biggest reliance in this foreign world's vast jungle.
"God bless you, Lisheng! You're back!
I was so scared when that monkey threw the tree out just now. It's a good thing that it didn't hurt you! " Guo Caiying, who was sitting on the branch with her ears bleeding from the shock, reached out a hand to the young man weakly and said with concern.
"That hit me …" Zhang Lisheng smiled at the girl and said a few words. When he saw the dazed expression on Guo Caiying's face, he raised his voice, "That hit me, but it's the one who died in the end." Then, he pulled the girl up.
"You mean, that monkey is dead?" Xu Naijia, who was by the side, had already regained her usual calmness, showing a strong psychological quality. "Dr. Zhang, since it's safe now, I hope to go back to the camp to see if there are any other survivors."
"There's not much hope, but you can give it a try if you want to." Zhang Lisheng nodded and commanded a multicolored flying insect with cicada wings that looked like a cattail leaf fan to fly out of the flesh on his arm. It transformed into a giant insect that was 20 to 30 meters long and flapped its wings to hover at the end of the branch.
"Thank you." When Xu Naijia saw that the young man was actually so easygoing, she was stunned for a moment before thanking him. Pulling Guo Caiying and Ai Chuhe's hands, she carefully walked to the back of the flying insect and sat down.
The back of the flying insect was very soft. After sitting down, half of the three women's bodies sank into the soft flesh, firmly fixing their bodies.
When Zhang Lisheng saw that they had sat down, he leaped up and landed on the hard head of the flying insect. Standing against the wind, he commanded the wizard gu to fly to the camp.
At this time, affected by the last battle between the young man and the Monkey King, the camp was already dead silent. There were only smoking tents, broken vehicles, flashing electric machines, and badly mutilated corpses of humans, great apes, and wizard gus scattered all over the place.
After the wizard gu flew to the campsite, Xu Naijia slowly climbed down from the giant worm's body and looked around. A sorrowful expression appeared on her face as she walked among the corpses. Suppressing her fear and disgust, she began to shout loudly, "Is anyone there? Is anyone still alive? If you can't speak, knock on the things beside you …"
At the same time, Ai Chuhe, who had hurriedly jumped down from the wizard gu, began to run faster and faster towards the center of the campsite. Rummaging through the tattered tents around the collapsed lamppost, she frantically tried to identify the charred faces of the charred corpses while shouting with all her might, "Old Wang! Old Wang! Are you alright? Old Wang! Old Wang …"
Beside her, Guo Caiying kept comforting her good friend in a low voice. "Chuhe, don't be like this. Let's take our time to search. Old Wang will be fine. Even if something happens to him, he won't have any regrets. He sacrificed his life for the country. He is a true hero …"
When the three women were looking for a miracle in the campsite, Zhang Lisheng, on the other hand, picked all the clean giant ape corpses and piled them up into a 'meat mountain'. Leaping up to the top of the mountain, he tore apart a complete ape's skin and flesh before entering its body.
Amidst the sweet blood and raw flesh, he channeled the Money Toad's power throughout his body and revealed his broken transformed body. Then, he began to devour the ape's flesh and blood. Not long after, his muscles grew and his broken bones gradually recovered.
After eating the entire ape's flesh and bones and finally getting rid of the hidden danger of his incarnation, Zhang Lisheng tore open the giant ape's skin and walked out. Shaking off the bloodstains all over his body, he carried an ape's corpse on his back and jumped down from the 'meat mountain'. Then, he cast the 'assemble' spell in his mind and urged his blood essence to gush out of his pores naturally before merging into the 'meat mountain'.
As soon as the spell was cast, due to the large amount of ape's flesh and blood used to cast the spell and the excellent quality, it did not take long before it attracted the seemingly endless foreign world's insects that blotted out the sky.
The insects that swarmed over from all directions like a tide frightened the three of them so much that they ran up to Zhang Lisheng in fear.
"I think you must be the one who did these insects, right, Dr. Zhang? What are you trying to do? Are you trying to sacrifice all the souls of the dead in the entire campsite to the King of Flies?" Looking at the 'meat mountain' in front of the young man that was crawling with poisonous insects enjoying its feast, Xu Naijia whispered with a grave expression.
"Of course not, Dr. Xu. I'm sacrificing my flesh and blood to Satan, not my soul." Zhang Lisheng looked at the thousands of insects and smiled in satisfaction. "I'm just kidding. I'm just using my sorcery to select some wizard gus as backup. The battle with the monkey king has killed most of my insects.
You don't have to care about these insects. Just do what you want to do. They've already been bewitched by the sorcery so they're not interested in the flesh and blood of ordinary people. "
"Huh? Do what you want to do?" Xu Naijia looked at the vast sea of insects under her feet and shuddered uncontrollably. "I'm looking for the survivors in the campsite, but even if they're not killed by the monkey, they'd be suffocated to death by the insects. In a sense, you're actually murdering …"
"No, no, Dr. Xu. You don't understand the compassion of a wizard. This is not murder but saving …" Zhang Lisheng shrugged and interrupted Xu Naijia's words. With his mind, he commanded the hundreds of thousands of insects that had already swallowed the flesh and blood contaminated with witchcraft on the 'meat mountain' to scatter away.
"Y-You can control these insects! You can control all of the insects here!" Xu Naijia looked at the insect tide formed by the scattering insects and the insects that were rushing towards the 'meat mountain' and blurted out.
"I don't have such a powerful ability, Dr. Xu." Zhang Lisheng shook his head and a joyful expression suddenly appeared on his face. "I can't believe there are still survivors here! Not only that, but both of them are acquaintances …"
As he spoke, he stepped on the tide of insects and walked to the side of a burnt tent. He lifted the canvas, and his palm turned into a giant claw covered in scales. He inserted it into the ground and grabbed a monster covered in blood and mud.
The monster had a triangular head that seemed to have been smashed by a heavy hammer and scraped off by a file. Its body was covered with scars and only half of its body was left. However, there were many meat sprouts squirming in its broken limbs, showing that it was still alive.
After rescuing this humanoid monster, the young man came to the corner of the campsite and kicked away a few scattered tents. He dug out another monster with a flat head covered with a black and red hard shell from the soil. It was miraculously unscathed and had merely fainted.
Zhang Lisheng grabbed the two humanoid monsters and returned to the 'meat mountain'. He tore open the clean giant ape corpse that he deliberately kept and stuffed the monster with a broken body into it. At this time, Ai Chuhe, who was pale by the side, suddenly asked, "Lisheng, are there no other survivors?"
"No, Senior Sister Ai.
Actually, other than wizards, it's impossible for anyone to survive in that kind of fierce battle just now. " Zhang Lisheng stretched out his sharp claws and scratched a deep bloody mark on the other monster with a black and red hard shell. Shaking his head, he replied.
Upon hearing this, Ai Chuhe's face turned even paler. Speechless, she lowered her head and no longer said anything.
At the same time, the hard-shelled monster shuddered after being injured and woke up. Looking around blankly, when it met Zhang Lisheng's indifferent eyes, it shouted out loud, "T-Junior Brother Zhang …"
"Yes, it's me. Senior Brother Pei, you're really lucky! The two Grand Wizards have died, but you managed to escape unscathed by relying on a flat worm that can drill into the ground."
Upon hearing the young man's words, the hard-shelled monster suddenly recalled the dangerous encounter just now. His expression changed again and again. In the end, after dispelling his transformation power, he revealed his appearance as Pei Youliang and bowed deeply at Zhang Lisheng. When he was about to compliment Zhang Lisheng, he suddenly realized that he was actually standing in the sea of insects that covered the entire mountain.
He could not help but shudder again. Trembling with fear, he said, "Junior Brother, you're really resourceful! This Insect Sea Technique is really amazing!
It's all thanks to you that I'm still alive. You've extended your hand and saved my life. That group of giant apes broke into the camp and killed the two Grand Wizards, Chen and Du, but they still died because of you … "
"The reason why I can win is because of the saying 'when the crane and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits'. Senior Brother Pei, there are many insects here that are suitable to be refined into wizard gus. Refine a few first and go to the north of the camp to stand guard later." Zhang Lisheng interrupted Pei Youliang's words and ordered with a faint smile.
The giant apes came from the north and the size of the population was unknown, let alone whether all of them were dead or not. With Pei Youliang's strength, he would only be sending himself to death if there were more apes attacking from the north.
However, when Pei Youliang saw the strange expression on the young man's face, his body froze right away. Without any hesitation, he replied, "Yes." Trembling with fear, he cast the 'assimilate' spell for hundreds of times in the sea of insects and refined five to six fierce wizard gus before walking to the north of the camp with a long face.
"It's also considered as recycling." Looking at his back that was getting further and further away, Zhang Lisheng casually remarked. Looking at the poisonous insects that were fighting ferociously on the mountain of flesh that was gradually disappearing, when he was about to refine some wizard gus into his body, he suddenly heard a soft 'pop' sound resonating from the clean ape's corpse by the side. Then, he saw the triangular-headed monster crawling out of the corpse covered in blood.
When the monster saw that it was Zhang Lisheng who was standing in front of it, its pupils shrunk right away. Looking at the surroundings, it became silent for a long time before saying in a hoarse and dry voice, "Lisheng, it's actually you who saved me. My Master and Senior Uncle Chen are dead, right?"
"Yes, Sister. The reason you're still alive is all because of the Palace Guardian's incarnation that has the ability to regrow your limbs. Speaking of which, Master Chen and Master Du's deaths are not unjustified. That monkey king is really terrifying when it's at its peak. I think even a god would have to avoid it."
"You're thinking like that because you haven't seen how great the omniscient power of the Old God is. Don't be complacent after reaping the benefits. If you enter the Mountain Gate again, you might lose your life!" The monster became silent for a while before replying in a low voice.
"Sister, I didn't save your life in vain then." Zhang Lisheng smiled. "Don't worry, I'll return to the US immediately after leaving the Oasis World. I won't go to the Gate of Witchcraft anymore.
There are good poisonous insects everywhere here. Quickly refine a few and rest for a while. After I've replenished the dead wizard gus, we'll leave immediately and return to Earth as soon as possible. "
