The Great Worm Lich Chapter 221

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Seeing how this monster smashed their companion into a pile of meat, the brutal hunters who realized that they had fallen into a desperate situation rose to a futile attempt to defy death .

They shouted loudly—”Let’s just die then! We’ll bring you to death together, monster!”—and stopped escaping . Turning around, they raised their long rifles and aimed it at Zhang Lisheng’s huge body which was an obvious target to them, before shooting continuously with sounds of “bang bang bang…” ringing out .

Unfortunately, even though the force of the weapons was powerful, an ordinary gun was simply unable to pose a great threat to a wizard who had transformed a wizard gu .

After being attacked, Zhang Lisheng, who merely relied on the tough scales on the skin to repel the bullets, smiled horrendously . A continuous stream of air spouted out of his long huge mouth, and in a moment, he completely destroyed a fan-shaped surface of the jungle within a few hundred meters in front of him . He sliced off both humans and trees alike .

After that, he stepped on the remnants on the broken tree branches and the human remnants stuck together before casting the spell ‘assemble’ with his mind .

In an instant, a gust of dark blood consolidated in front of him, transforming into a faint blood mist that covered the flesh and bones on the ground .

Very soon, a series of ruffling sounds resonated from deep inside the jungle . Not long after, countless strange insects gathered from the jungle, biting and fighting with each other to compete for the blood food .

With his giant body still naked, Zhang Lisheng stared at the insects that were increasing in number with a blank expression . In the end, when they covered the floor of the area of the jungle he destroyed like a layer of wriggling blankets, he could not help but start feeling hopeful .

Ever since the young man learned that it would also have to depend on luck for a wizard gu to transform, the young man understood that in order to nurture an ancient and strange insect, other than having great luck, the only other way was to refine more wizard gu and pick like great tides washing the sand .

He had already planned ahead that he would hunt at least eight wizard gus in Shrimp B1 Island for him to throw into the factory outside of New York temporarily . After the other slaughterhouses in Los Angeles, Chicago, and other big metropolitan cities had been built, he would nurture one wizard gu in each of the slaughterhouses and slowly select the one that could transform .

His plan of refining the insects he gathered with the spell ‘assemble’ into wizard gus was the beginning of all of his plans . It had a special meaning, so of course, he wished that it would have a good start .

As time gradually passed, the foreign world’s insects that were lured in by his spell began to decrease through a brutal bloody battle .

The strong devoured the weak, along with the nourishment from a wizard’s blood essence, the ones who remained naturally became stronger and stronger . Upon seeing a few exceptionally ferocious poisonous insects showing a combat ability far surpassing other insects, Zhang Lisheng could not help but mutter, “This black-shell beetle looks pretty ferocious and has the look of a champion on top of that . Beetle… beetle… Its strength attribute should be quite strong after refining . That eight-clawed strange insect that looks like a spider seems to be strong too . Oh, web shooting… Its special ability is actually web shooting! This is even more like a spider… Yeah…”

As Zhang Lisheng was talking to himself about his own harvest, he suddenly saw new shoots sprouting out of the roots of the fallen trees on the ground .

After the new shoots were bathed in the sun on the broken stumps, they began spreading out, getting thicker and taller at a speed visible to the naked eye . According to this growth rate, it would only take a few hours at most for this destroyed jungle to be restored to its original state .

Zhang Lisheng had gone through a few explorations in the Shrimp B1 Island jungle, but he had never seen such a phenomenon before . Dumbfounded, he walked to the nearest stump in front of him in astonishment and opened his mouth to blow wind to break the green shoot that had grown as thick as a human thumb in just a short period of time .

After the green shoot broke, it rolled onto the ground, but after a while, a fine bud the size of a hair could slowly be seen on the stump again .

“It’s not a one-time restoration either! This is too incredible! Could it be that it’s a temporary sudden evolution…” Staring at the newly born tree bud, Zhang Lisheng made a guess, but as his train of thought changed its course, he vetoed it again . “No! Impossible! Such a change is as impossible as having a human regenerating his limb in just a day . I’ve destroyed more than one species of tree in this area of the jungle too…”

As he pondered over it, he recalled that the gathering place had poured a lot of ammunition into the forest in order to stop the beast tide attack, so he crouched down . Countless small fine veins on both of his thick arms began to bulge out as he leaped .

With a ‘thud’, a huge pit of 20 to 30 centimeters deep appeared on the mud . Zhang Lisheng, on the other hand, shot out straight high into the sky hundreds of meters away like a cannonball .

A black giant bird without any feather on its body that had a form like an ancient pterosaur flying freely in the sky by just relying on two pairs of its featherless wings felt a strong airflow coming from underneath . As it cried out, “Kyaaa kyaaaa…”, it twisted its body and dived forward, dodging the young man who was shooting up high to the sky by just a few milliseconds .

As Zhang Lisheng had a clear bird’s eye view of the mottled jungle below from the air, he did not see any large damaged area .

After the energy of his body shooting upward was exhausted, he fell into the dense jungle like a meteorite, bringing along with him a whistling sound that rattled a few giant trees more than ten meters high till they broke .

“Strange! Very strange indeed! Things don’t seem right! Don’t tell me that the army in the gathering place are really idiots? To think that they have actually never mentioned anything about such a peculiar phenomenon at all…” Striding out from the deep pit he made when he crashed onto the ground, the young man frowned and muttered to himself in deep contemplation .

At this moment, a burst of strange “shh shh…” sounds suddenly resonated in the air, disrupting his thoughts right away .

Stunned, Zhang Lisheng glanced in the direction of the sound and saw a shiny volleyball-sized oval-shaped beetle that had a black shell glistening in a luminous manner on a thriving green tree seedling . It was standing on its six long slender limbs that seemed to be out of proportion compared to its body and was shaking its head as it hissed .

“It looks pretty okay! I hope it won’t let me down . ” Seeing that the battle of the group of poisonous insects lured in by the ‘assemble’ spell had already had its final winner, the young man murmured and cast the ‘assimilate’ spell using his mind .

After a series of blood essence refining, it was fortunate that the black-shell beetle did not explode to a puddle of blood . Instead, after its exoskeleton its flesh and blood burst open and was being reorganized again, it transformed into a wizard gu that had a shape similar to a rugby ball .

Looking at the beetle that had been successfully refined, Zhang Lisheng, whose mind did not show any hieroglyph, frowned and cast the ‘transform’ spell in his mind without any hesitance . This was done to strengthen this newly refined insect to become a quintuple refined wizard gu .

Unfortunately, after going through such elaborated hard work, the beetle still did not show any omniscient power and merely had its body transformed into the size of a manhole cover .

If it was before, Zhang Lisheng would have eliminated such wizard gu, or he might not have given it any chance of going through that few ‘transform’ spell to be strengthened at all . However, ever since he learned that a wizard gu that possessed omniscient power might not be able to transform as well, he started to have different ideas already .

This time, Zhang Lisheng did not take the initiative to command Kyuuko he brought with him to consume the black beetle . Instead, he expanded the size of the beetle’s body to more than 20 times and turned it into a huge giant insect that had a height of more than five meters with a length of more than ten meters with the help of his spell .

After that, he leaped up onto the wizard gu’s back and realized that the shell that appeared to be thick and hard was actually very elastic . When he sat on top of it, his body sunk in comfortably and his buttocks were even sucked in tightly by a gush of deep suction energy .

Zhang Lisheng showed a neither laughing nor crying face . “I can’t believe that even though this beetle doesn’t have any omniscient power, it’s actually more suitable to be used as a ride rather than Island Dragon or Crocodragon . Oh! I should just call it the Beetlecar . ” Zhang Lisheng commanded the wizard gu and began to run towards the direction where the Tudenan Valley lied .

Since he didn’t have the broad view he would get when riding on the wyrm dragon while soaring through the clouds, advancing through the forest while dodging the dense interwoven roots and stems of the trees slanted out from the side slowed down his speed by a huge margin .

It was a good thing that Beetlecar had six limbs that were 30 to 40 meters long that could easily twist around like an octopus . Not only that, they had many suction cups, so when they came into an open area, it would use its slender limbs to prop up his body before running all the way .

When it came across an area that was difficult to pass through, the wizard gu would slide its limbs forward and backward, sucking onto the branches of the giant trees in the forest to sway around to avoid them . On top of that, its gigantic body size and hissing of terror was enough to scare most of the wild beasts in the forests . In the end, without wasting much time, the young man arrived at his destination by noontime smoothly .

When the strange insect swayed from the trunk of a giant wood on the edge of the jungle and made a leap of 100 meters before landing down on the mountain pass, the Tudenan warriors guarding the tribe had already blown their horns immediately, while leaping out from their hiding place holding onto their spears in a tragic posture . Crouching down, they futilely put on a gesture of vigilance and intimidation .

Looking down at the several dozens of indigenous midgets that were as small as ants around the giant insect, Zhang Lisheng howled in a deep voice, “Children of Tudenan . There’s no need to tremble in fear! It’s me, the Remodeler of Tudenan . I have returned!”

Upon hearing his howl, the originally vigilant aborigine warriors froze and looked up to have a clear view of the rider behind the giant insect’s back . After they saw him, they knelt down on the ground with admiration . “The Great Remodeler! The living faith of Tudenan tribesmen, we’re willing to offer you piety and life . ”

“I accept your faith, continue to carry out your responsibility, guardians!” When Zhang Lisheng heard the aborigines’ prayers in a new guise, he affectedly replied and commanded the wizard gu to straighten its limbs to prop up its body . Casually striding over the kneeling aborigines, he headed deep into the valley .

The bleak horn behind him was blown again . However, the meaning implied was completely different now . The fully armed indigenous warriors who were prepared for a deadly battle became the concierge team to welcome their ‘God’ instead .

Surrounded by countless kneeling aborigines in every direction he looked at, Zhang Lisheng rode on the giant insect and came to the Tudenan’s thick totem pole .

The wizard gu crouched down and the young man stood up, pretending to walk down from the insect’s back one step at a time in a solemn manner .

“Tudenan’s Remodeler, our living faith who walks on the ground, please allow your humble servant to offer you the highest respect!” Upon seeing Zhang Lisheng’s gigantic body coming up to him, the Tudenan’s tribal headman, Tugra, kneeled in admiration and crawled forward on the mud, before kissing the giant’s footsteps and said piously .
