Chapter 230: Chapter 27 Teasing you (for cnm and cnb thousands rewards addition, large Chapter)_2
The ground beneath Cyclops softened rapidly. Simultaneously, ropes of condensed sand swiftly tangled around its hind legs.
"ROAR!"
Cyclops let out a furious roar and, at the same time, tried to break the annoying sand ropes binding its body with sheer force.
But this was a 1 vs. 2 battle now!
Simba wouldn’t miss such a golden opportunity. The moment Cyclops stumbled and fell, Simba leaped upon it, hurling blow after blow onto Cyclops’ head. Simultaneously, the Flame Flow swirled in its mouth, resembling pillars of fire, madly searing Cyclops’ body!
Sensing Cyclops already pinned down by Simba, the black-robed man sent two freshly formed long spears of sand flying directly at Cyclops, who was sprawled on the ground!
The sharp spear tips pierced into Cyclops’ body and then exploded! Of course, the explosion wasn’t strong. Strictly speaking, it wasn’t an explosion, but merely the sand spears under the black-robed man’s control scattering. The purpose was to allow a portion of sand to enter Cyclops’ body! The sand that entered Cyclops’ body started to move slowly.
The black-robed man’s exposed eyes were bloodshot, revealing the great strain he was under to control the sand within Cyclops’ body.
The foreign objects in its body made Cyclops somewhat agitated. Thankfully, the abilities granted by the Blood and Flesh Badge had significantly dulled Cyclops’ sense of pain. If it were an ordinary body of flesh and blood, even a small amount of sand entering it would be lethal. However, the power of the Blood and Flesh Badge made Cyclops’ body surpass that of ordinary flesh and blood, a fact the black-robed man did not know.
"Hurry, faster!"
The black-robed man’s sense of urgency intensified as the Energy Fluctuations from the distant battlefield of Star and the pseudo-Cyclops grew larger. By now, the intensity of the Energy Fluctuations was making his heart pound!
Following the black-robed man’s desperate hopes, a portion of sand successfully entered Cyclops’ brain!
"DIE!!!"
Feeling his desired goal had been achieved, the black-robed man couldn’t help but shout in triumph. Then, consuming a great amount of strength, he directly manipulated the sand in Cyclops’ brain, forcing it to morph!
Cone-shaped, spherical, triangular... In a very short period, the sand in Cyclops’ brain had transformed into dozens of shapes of varying sizes. This constant morphing was enough to turn Cyclops’ brain into mush!
The black-robed man let out a long, shaky breath.
"It’s over!"
Looking at Cyclops, motionless on the ground, and then at Simba, still wreaking havoc on Cyclops’ body, the black-robed man spoke.
"It’s dead. Come back."
Hearing the black-robed man’s words, Simba landed another crushing blow on Cyclops’ head before turning and walking towards the black-robed man.
Spotting the wounds of varying depths on Simba, the corners of the black-robed man’s eyes, hidden under his hood, twitched.
This dog’s power is truly terrifying.
The black-robed man stood his ground and spoke to the approaching Simba.
"Now, the two of us need to go to the sacred beast’s location... Be careful!!!"
Before the black-robed man could finish speaking, Cyclops, who was originally lying motionless, suddenly sprang up from the ground!
The injuries it had just sustained were severe. But empowered by the Blood and Flesh Badge, Cyclops brushed off these supposedly critical injuries as if they were nothing. In fact, the black-robed man had done it a great favor! The injuries to its brain had indeed destroyed it completely, but unfortunately for its enemies, Cyclops was an extraordinary beast that could fight even without a head! The damage to its head caused Cyclops’ physical attributes to skyrocket, reaching around 400 points.
Moreover, having just sensed the black-robed man’s intentions, Cyclops had suddenly conceived a plan.
According to my calculations, to regain control of the battle from the dual suppression of the black-robed man and Simba, I would have to endure a prolonged period of attacks. Only then would my strength grow enough to break out of this sand pit.
It would be much more comfortable to just fake death!
Therefore, Cyclops had semi-consciously relinquished control of its body, allowing the sand to smoothly enter its brain. Then, it suppressed its heartbeat... This was a simple matter for Cyclops, who possessed the Blood and Flesh Badge.
Thus, the black-robed man, oblivious to Cyclops’ true abilities, fell for the ruse! And the price for his ignorance would be extremely heavy!!!
Cyclops crouched slightly on all fours, and simultaneously, the rampant power within its body erupted violently.
It was as if four grenades had exploded simultaneously beneath Cyclops’ paws, kicking up a large cloud of dust. Propelled by this immense force, its body had already rocketed high into the sky!
It reached a height of a full thirty meters!
This altitude surpassed even most of the massive trees in the mountain forest that had been mutated and enlarged by Demonic Qi!
Survivors within Mudanjiang City had already noticed that a great battle was occurring in the distant mountain forest. Unfortunately, given the strength of these professionists, they couldn’t possibly participate in a battle of this magnitude. Even the shockwaves from the fight were more than they could easily withstand! The observing professionists within the city could only pull out their telescopes to get a brief look at the battle’s situation and speculate on its outcome. So when Cyclops leaped high into the sky, a large group of professionists naturally witnessed this spectacular scene!
One professionist put down his telescope in amazement, swallowed hard, and said to his teammate, "I just saw, I think... a dog... flying?"
"Seems like... it did..." his teammate stared blankly at the distant East Mountain and responded uncertainly.
Then, both of them simultaneously raised their telescopes again, continuing to watch the battle—a battle completely unimaginable to people like them!
As Cyclops leaped, it indeed felt a surge of exhilaration! Flying, something Humans deeply dreamed of, was also desired by these ground-dwelling creatures! Although, relative to Cyclops’ height, leaping 30 meters wasn’t that high, it still gave it some thrill of freefall!
Then, there was an even greater thrill!
A thrill called...
VENGEANCE!
Just as the black-robed man let out a shocked warning, Cyclops was already about to land! And its landing point was precisely Simba’s position!
Upon hearing the black-robed man’s warning, Simba barely managed to turn its head before seeing a dark shadow rapidly approaching from the sky! Soon after, a tremendous force slammed Simba to the ground. Its completely unprotected neck was directly exposed to Cyclops’ gaping, blood-red maw!
The Savage Strike clawed into Simba’s soft belly again and again. The strength of the Steel Protective Armor seemed utterly fragile against Cyclops, whose physical attributes were more than double Simba’s! Crimson blood sprayed everywhere, along with bits of yellow-brown fur and torn intestines. In a short span of time, Cyclops had turned this patch of the battlefield into a gory, hellish landscape!
At the scent of fresh blood, Cyclops’ eyes slowly turned crimson!
This is a real fight! This is sweet vengeance!
What could be more satisfying than hearing the enemy wail beneath my paws?
Its jaws clamped down hard. As Cyclops listened to Simba’s screams beneath it, it couldn’t help but remember how Simba had shattered all its pride.
You must be regretting it terribly now!
Then, Cyclops’ sharp teeth closed completely...
The black-robed man watched the sudden reversal before him in utter disbelief! In a brief moment, the victory he thought was within his grasp had been completely overturned!
A piece of mangled flesh landed directly on the black-robed man’s hood. The black-robed man shakily removed the foreign object from his hood and forced himself to look.
It was... Simba’s liver...
And the "resurrected" monster before him slowly raised its head. A blood-red tongue swept across its blood-smeared face, and a pair of crimson eyes stared fixedly at him.
Those eyes, filled with mockery, undoubtedly conveyed a single fact to the black-robed man:
"Just now, I was only toying with you!"
