Chapter 1594: What Are You Here For Again??
What Are You Here For Again??
Chen Ling had never thought of relying on brute force to kill his way through the Bitter Flesh Forest to rescue Chu Changqing, let alone when he was also bringing along a few Nine Monarchs who were still growing.
However, judging from the reactions of the Toad Poison Chief and the Gecko Poison Chief just now, the Calamity of Mockery of this era seemed to be an extremely terrifying existence... Since that was the case, and since he himself possessed the aura of the Calamity of Mockery, plus having two Poison Chiefs as mounts, he could completely disguise himself as the Calamity of Mockery of this era and exert pressure on the Bitter Flesh Forest.
This plan was indeed somewhat risky, but it was also the most suitable method at the current stage.
The Calamity of Mockery was Formless. Chen Ling also didn't know exactly what personality dominated the Calamity of Mockery of this era, nor what its appearance was like. In short, he could only use his appearance when he lost control in the Ghost Mockery Abyss as a standard, making himself look as bluffing as possible.
Of course, the first ones to be bluffed were Wu Tongyuan and the other two.
"Holy crap Director Chen, your face changing like this... is a bit scary?" Seeing that bizarre face, Qi Muyun only felt so horrified that his scalp went numb.
"Control your expressions a bit later, we are about to enter the Bitter Flesh Forest."
"Expressions? What expressions should we have?" Wu Tongyuan asked blankly.
Wu Tongyuan and the other two exchanged a glance, and then quite tacitly let out a miserable scream, curling up on the ground shivering with their hands holding their heads, their eyes sneakily looking outward through the gaps between their fingers.
The Bitter Flesh Forest indeed possessed extremely dense miasma. Visible dark green aura pervaded around the forest. Because the Calamities rooted here had all grown too lushly, and each one was over a hundred meters tall, various twisted trunks and bizarre leaves obscured the sky, completely blocking out sunlight like a black dome.
The fear Wu Tongyuan and the other two had towards Chen Ling was feigned, but when they got close to the Bitter Flesh Forest and saw clearly those squirming trees growing flesh tumors, as well as the dark and bizarre monster jungle deep within, they truly began to be afraid...
But right now,
There were "people" even more afraid than them.
The moment the two Great Poison Chiefs, carrying the Calamity of Mockery that emitted a World-Ending aura, stepped into the Bitter Flesh Forest, the surrounding ferocious and bizarre towering trees all frantically squirmed as if they had seen a ghost!
It was unknown which organs these Calamities used, but they let out various sharp, terrified screams, and started to desperately pull out their tree roots that were originally deeply rooted underground, crowding and retreating towards both sides. A sunlight fissure was forcefully made in the originally pitch-black forest by their retreat...
And within this fissure where dim light sprinkled down, a figure draped in a Red Paper Theatrical Robe, sneering ferociously, resembled a ghost or demon.
Chen Ling was truly very curious.
Just what exactly did the Calamity of Mockery of this era do to scare this group of Calamities in the Bitter Flesh Forest into this state?
But no matter what, the more they feared the Calamity of Mockery, the more advantageous it was for Chen Ling. The toad and the gecko swaggered through the Bitter Flesh Forest just like this. Even those Eighth-Tier Calamities hidden in various parts of the forest didn't dare to step forward to intercept them.
Chen Ling's scarlet pupils slowly locked onto a certain direction deep in the forest...
His pitch-black face remained perfectly still, but a deep, thunderous voice exploded from the void around him!
"Corruption!!"
"Come out and see me!!"
A World-Ending aura mixed in with this voice, directly echoing throughout the entire Bitter Flesh Forest. Countless tall trees and bizarre flowers and plants trembled after hearing these two sentences.
After a brief silence,
A deep rumble sounded from the depths of the Bitter Flesh Forest.
Buzz——!!!
Deep in that bizarre and oppressive forest full of miasma, a beam of holy light resembling the morning dawn slowly blossomed. The dazzling light directly dispelled the pitch-black darkness, reflecting a grille-like halo among the towering woods.
Seeing this incomparably holy scene, Wu Tongyuan and the others were somewhat entranced. They couldn't imagine how such a radiance close to a miracle could appear in such a bizarre and dark forest.
"Am I hallucinating?" Qi Muyun looked at the source of that radiance through the gaps between his fingers, whispering in astonishment,
"Hidden in this forest... is a Buddha??"
In everyone's field of vision, at the end of that holy radiance, the outline of a lotus base faintly appeared. On top of it, there was even a massive Buddha shadow sitting upright within!
"Buddha?"
Chen Ling's voice echoed by their ears. He sneered coldly,
"Look carefully again... what is that?"
The two Great Poison Chiefs, the toad and the gecko, were not deterred by the World-Ending aura emitted by the Calamity of Corruption at all, directly approaching the direction of the Calamity of Corruption without fear... As the distance continuously closed, Wu Tongyuan and the others finally gradually saw clearly the true appearance of that "Buddha".
That massive lotus base was actually composed of squirming flesh and blood vines. They swam on the surface like wandering snakes, occasionally revealing the human skulls piled into a mountain beneath...
The "Buddha's body" they just saw was nothing but a thick and tall plant rhizome. As for that "Buddha Head" emitting radiance, it was even more so just a flesh tumor whose shape closely resembled a Buddha's head, surrounded by petal-like Buddha light... Looking closely, that wasn't any Buddha at all, but an extremely bizarre sunflower.
This was the first time Wu Tongyuan and the other two had seen a World-Ending Calamity other than Chen Ling. At this moment, seeing that horrifying appearance and the almost suffocatingly powerful Oppressive Aura emitted by the other party, their hearts had already plummeted to rock bottom!
Could humanity really defeat a terrifying existence of this level?
Were they going to fight such monsters from now on??
The two Great Poison Chiefs just carried Chen Ling and the others on their backs, traversing the forest and arriving not far in front of the Calamity of Corruption. At this distance, everyone could even clearly see every detail on the body of the Calamity of Corruption...
And Chen Ling's gaze, as if sensing something, fell on a certain corner of the Calamity of Corruption's torso.
There, grew a human face of flesh and wood grain.
That was Chu Changqing's face.
But his face was no longer human skin, instead looking as if it had merged into the torso of the Calamity of Corruption, shimmering with the patterns of plant rhizomes. His eyes were closed, and even his upper and lower eyelids were fused together. The entire face looked as if it had been carved by someone, completely integrated with the surrounding environment.
Wu Tongyuan and the other two didn't have Secret Pupils, so they couldn't see such detailed places. They didn't have the mood to look right now either... The Oppressive Aura of the World-Destroying Tier Calamity pressed down on them like a mountain, making them unable to even move.
A moment later, they heard a bizarre squirming sound ringing out from within that flesh and blood Buddha statue.
They couldn't understand the language between Calamities.
But Chen Ling could.
That was a voice that was three parts puzzled, three parts fearful, and one part angry:
[Mockery!]
[Were the toys you took last time not enough? What are you here for again?!]
