Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating - Chapter 166

166 Arachnida Colossus

The moment she got poisoned, Song Yu also quickly swallowed an antidote pill. Following that, she gave one to Qin Yong. After resting for a while, they set off together with Lu Yu.

“Since when did you acquire a physique that’s impervious to poison?” Song Yu was very intrigued when she saw Lu Yu was still as lively as a cricket, completely unaffected by the poison despite not taking any antidote pill.

“When you move around in the world, you must always have a trick up your sleeve. It’s always good to have more skills.” Lu Yu thought up some vague excuse casually.

“Hmph! You don’t have to use such a flimsy excuse if you don’t want to tell me!” Song Yu said with a pout.

!!
The deeper they went, the more corpses of Fearsome Beasts they found. The blood-sucking wasteland which used to be full of Fearsome Beasts was a plain of deadly silence, like a living hell. There were corpses and blood everywhere they looked

Roar! In a pile of Fearsome Beast corpses, Lu Yu saw a dying Snow White Marten. Song Yu felt sorry for it and approached it step by step. The Snow White Marten’s eyes suddenly glowed with blood-red light and pounced at her.

As if he was expecting this, Lu Yu whipped out the Dragon Blood Battle Saber in a flash and slashed the Snow White Marten.

Following that, Lu Yu turned his head and said, “They may look cute and innocent externally, but are actually very sinister and malicious. Next time, don’t be so naive.”

Song Yu huffed and sulked, turning her head aside, thinking, “You are naive! Your whole family is naive!”

Squeak! Squeak! In the midst of the heap of corpses, numerous green vicious rodents with blood-red glowing eyes suddenly opened their sharp jaws and pecked at them suddenly.

However, the moment they came into contact with Lu Yu, they fell to the ground like they were weightless. Then their bodies swayed and wobbled as if they had gotten drunk on poisoned alcohol before finally sprawling out on the ground, their thin bodies quivering.

However, Lu Yu had not activated the Gravitational Force skill.

“Why are these green vicious rodents prostrating on the ground, like they are submitting to me?” Lu Yu looked very surprised. The way these green vicious rodents behaved was like they were worshiping the king of their kind.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Yu said with a shock, “Is it because of my Poison Body skill?”

In order to resist the poisonous gas of the blood-sucking wasteland, he had kept the Poison Body skill running in the background. Were they submissive to him because of the Poison Body?

An incredible thought gradually appeared in his mind. As Lu Yu activated a thought, he released the poisonous gas from his Poison Body to infiltrate the brain of a green vicious rodent.

In that instant, Lu Yu sensed a connection with this green vicious rodent that allowed him to control its life directly, as if he was the parent body and this green vicious rodent was a child body that broke away from him.

Lu Yu issued a command in his heart. This green vicious rodent’s body trembled. Then in accordance with his command, it enacted the action of falling to the ground with all four limbs in the air. The body convulsed violently and after that, all signs of life vanished from its body.

“This green vicious rodent is way too weak to withstand my poisonous gas.”

As Lu Yu thought about this inwardly, his heart gave a sudden jolt, as if he suddenly realized something.

Were all these Fearsome Beasts in the blood-sucking wasteland unable to withstand the poisonous gas from the parent body and dropped dead?

And those powerful Fearsome Beasts became the puppets of the parent body after absorbing this poisonous gas. They followed the orders of that parent body. Those Fearsome Beasts that attacked the city were all its puppets.

This meant that there existed an extremely terrifying parent within this blood-sucking wasteland that was secretly controlling these Fearsome Beasts to form an army of puppets to attack humankind’s cities.

The more he thought, the more terrified Lu Yu felt. What kind of monster could do something like this?

“What are you staring into space for?” Song Yu called out to him at the front. Lu Yu then came to his senses and followed her.

Finally, after advancing more than ten kilometers, Lu Yu saw a live Fearsome Beast. It was an S-class Fearsome Beast, the One-horned Green Jade Colt that was suffering from the corroding effect of the poisonous gas. It had lapsed into madness, and wisps of black gas were seeping out of its green jade-lie body.

The second it saw Lu Yu, it lowered its single horn on its head and came charging!

Lu Yu sidestepped and dodged the attack. Then he leaned close to its body, and yanked the creature up by its horns. With the Dragon Blood Battle Saber, he hacked down and chopped off its horn.

In the next second, a ray of saber light flashed out. This One-horned Green Jade Colt failed in its attack. Before dying, it cast a look at Lu Yu that contained a hint of gratitude for giving it relief.

“We can’t take this Fearsome Beast’s corpse.” Seeing that Qin Yong intended to put the corpse of the One-horned Green Jade Colt into his interspatial ring as a dish for the future, Lu Yu immediately spoke out to stop him.

Qin Yong discarded the One-horned Green Jade Colt’s corpse with a look of regret.

Lu Yu encountered more than ten such Fearsome Beasts which went completely crazy after being tortured by the poisonous gas. There were many S-class Fearsome Beasts amongst them.

“Even the S-class Fearsome Beasts are suffering so much. That parent body is really too terrifying,” Lu Yu said with trepidation.

As was well-known, an S-class Fearsome Beast existed like a territorial overlord in the blood-sucking wasteland, yet it was being manipulated like a toy in someone’s palm.

“Zhang Yu and company entered this blood-sucking wasteland ahead of us. I guess they must be…” Qin Yong couldn’t bring himself to continue.

Lu Yu looked to the front and said, “Then we can only pray for them that the heavens will protect those guys.”

The closer they got to the inner depths of the blood-sucking wasteland, the more powerful the poisonous gas was. Even Lu Yu’s Poison Body was struggling to cope.

[Ding! Detected that host has absorbed mysterious gas imbued with lethal toxicity. Received: Health Vitality -1000…]

Lu Yu’s health vitality kept dropping at this moment. He had no choice but to back off.

Unbeknownst to him, pairs of sinister eyes were staring fixedly at Lu Yu in the darkness. When they saw Lu Yu retreat, one of the figures said with a sneer, “You have already reached this point. I’m afraid it is too late for you to turn back now.”

“Snicker! Snicker… Death is your only destiny. It won’t be long before all traces of your existence here will be erased.”

“Even if the military zone pursued the matter, they wouldn’t be able to find any clues leading to us. They will only find out that you died in the middle of the blood-sucking wasteland.”

These few people chatted leisurely. One of them, a man with a protruding mouth and sallow cheeks, said, “Always talking nonsense here. How is the preparation?”

“Don’t worry. Everything is in place.”

The companion of this man with the protruding mouth and sallow cheeks took out a bone-crafted whistle and blew on it unhurriedly. At once, the sound of the whistle resounded through the vast expanse of the blood-sucking wasteland, its echoes lingering in the wind.

“Huh? Why is there the sound of a whistle here?” Song Yu looked very surprised, while Lu Yu’s expression changed drastically.

In the next second, the ground rumbled and mountains shook. Waves of ruthless auras of Fearsome Beasts spewed forth and swept out violently.

The ground was rapidly cracking open, and the surface sank down like the sand in an hourglass. Then, huge pillars that were four or five meters tall rose from the ground, and began moving slowly.

Lu Yu focused his eyes to see. It was not a pillar. It was clearly a spider’s great leg. A huge dark cloud overshadowed him above his head.

They then saw unbelievably humongous spiders with alternating black and red bands. Those creatures stared at Lu Yu and companions with bloodshot eyes. Each giant spider was an S-class Fearsome Beast!
