C218 A Cicada Shedding Its Shell
Creak -
The sound of sharp blades cutting into flesh rang out as the yellow robe on its body was once again sliced in two.
How is this possible...
It transformed into a form out of thin air, and waved its tentacles at the huge Carapace Beast in front of it.
It was useless, it was useless. Its attacks were meaningless when faced with the thick carapace. Its secret technique was worthless to the carapace ferocious beast in front of it.
This was a meaningless battle. All of its actions could not cause any harm to this carapace ferocious beast. With the secret technique protecting it, even if its body was destroyed, it could still be reborn. Neither of the two sides were able to kill their opponent, and the battle should have ended long ago.
But... why didn't this carapace ferocious beast stop?
It had been killed for an entire night. Every time that carapace ferocious beast swung its limbs, it would split it in half. It never missed, but every time, it would come back to life. That carapace ferocious beast was not stupid. It should be able to see that this attack was meaningless.
But, why didn't it stop?
It was willing to reconcile. Faced with such an unreasonable existence, it wasn't a shameful thing to reconcile. The ancient battle had been going on for so long, so there was no need to keep it in mind. Moreover, no one could really kill anyone right now. Reconstructing was the only way out.
"Wait a minute, I'm willing to..."
Creak -
"Stop..."
Chi -
"I..."
Chi -
Without any chance to speak, the carapace ferocious beast only swung its limbs mechanically, reaping its life time and time again.
After being reborn again, it quickly thought of the key to breaking out of this situation.
Right, fly!
If it flew up, the carapace ferocious beast's attacking method would only be jumping. With its current agility in the air, that Carapace Beast definitely wouldn't be enough...
Dong!
An inexplicable force struck from the air. It fell to the ground after its balance was disrupted in midair, letting out a muffled sound.
Its swift legs attacked, and it was cut in half again.
Looking at the pair of prawn eyes of the carapace ferocious beast, it felt a chill in its heart.
After looking through the pair of eyes, it understood what the Carapace Beast was thinking.
"I'm very patient."
There was no chance, no chance. If he wanted to protect his main body, then...
"Surrender!" It roared, "I surrender!"
Its sweeping limbs stopped in front of it.
Looking at the sharp sweeping limb in front of it, it heaved a sigh of relief.
It finally stopped...
Creak -
With a wave of its limbs, it was sliced in half once again.
————————
With a wave of his arms, Du Kang cut the octopus in the yellow robe in half again and again.
Du Kang could no longer remember why he was standing there. Right now, he only had eyes for the enemy in front of him.
The enemy was very cunning. He was an expert who had survived from the ancient era until now. There was no way he could kill him. However, it didn't matter. If he couldn't kill him once, he would kill him ten times. If he couldn't kill him ten times, he would kill him a hundred times. As long as they continued to slowly kill like this, the enemy would eventually die. He was very patient.
When he first learned the shrimp people's runes, Du Kang was able to learn fifteen sets of sunset in a row. If Shrimp Leader did not stop teaching, Du Kang could still continue learning. But now, it was only a night.
The high concentration made Du Kang a little tired. His mind was in a trance, but his movements became more and more skilled. The swinging of his arms cut through the position where the enemy appeared every time like flowing water. When the enemy took off, their balance would be accurately disrupted by the gravity well. This was a new way of fighting. Du Kang could feel his own improvement.
"Surrender!" The enemy in the yellow robe shouted, "I surrender!"
Du Kang's movement paused for a moment.
Oh? Surrender?
The swift legs chopped down.
Du Kang did not trust the words of his enemy. An enemy was an enemy. The ones who attacked were dangerous enemies. The ones who shouted surrender were cunning enemies. The ones who gave up resisting were the ones who were ready to fight back, while the ones who ran away were the ones with no guts. Of course, only dead enemies were good enemies.
Du Kang did not understand why the ancient conflicts had been remembered by these octopuses until now. Even the octopus head, who had already wiped away all grudges, chose to pick up this grudge again. One had to know that the reason for the conflict back then was only because of half a Roasted Dinosaur.
But it did not matter. Du Kang was too lazy to understand. Since he had chosen to become an enemy, there was nothing else to say. He just had to kill him. Worst comes to worst, they could set up a monument here for these octopuses. If they had anything to do, they could pour some wine on this monument, which could be considered as giving them face.
As for Cthulhu and Du Kang, they still held back. Although the octopus head chose to stand together with Yellow Robed Monster and become his enemy, Du Kang still only gave him a slash at the waist because of their past relationship. As for whether he would live or die after that, Du Kang couldn't be bothered with it. After the slash, the two didn't owe each other anything.
However, this Yellow Robed Monster was different. Du Kang didn't have any relationship with him. Since this Yellow Robed Monster wanted him to die, Du Kang didn't mind sending this Yellow Robed Monster to his death first.
Swoosh!
With a swift movement of his legs, the figure wearing a yellow robe was neatly split into two halves.
Where would this Yellow Robed Monster be reborn from?
Raising his huge head, Du Kang looked around.
No?
Lowering his head, Du Kang looked at the huge corpse on the ground and the torn robe.
It did not disappear...
Dead?
After recalling the entire battle, Du Kang shook his head silently.
Fake death...
Yellow Robed Monster ran away.
But it didn't matter.
Du Kang gathered his strength with his appendages and unleashed a ball of flames, burning the huge corpse and the yellow robe to ashes.
Looking at the burnt ashes, Du Kang released his consciousness and communicated with the lunar stronghold.
The black flames burned on the ashes and disappeared along with the ashes in an instant.
With Yellow Robed Monster's ashes, he could rely on the lunar stronghold. As long as the octopus was still on this planet, Du Kang would be able to find it. Du Kang was not stupid enough to teleport the corpse directly. If Yellow Robed Monster faked his death and destroyed the Moon Fortress, even with the help of the shrimp people, it would be difficult to repair it.
However... he did not find anything.
Forget it. If he could not find it, then he could not.
Du Kang adjusted the gravity well on the lunar stronghold. His mountain-like body floated into the sky and disappeared into the clouds.
This battle had consumed too much of his mental energy. He only wanted to find a place to rest.
————————
In the distant Galaxy.
Stretching its tentacles, it floated to the surface of the water and looked at the sky full of stars.
It was safe now.
At such a long distance, unless Suo Sotos made a move, it was impossible for that carapace ferocious beast to chase after them.
They lost thoroughly, suffered heavy losses, and even lost their main bodies on that planet. Unless it could develop a powerful secret technique to kill that carapace ferocious beast in the future, it would never approach that planet again.
It wriggled its tentacles and climbed onto the ground.
Later on, it felt like... something was missing.
The tentacles waved, and a yellow cloak appeared out of thin air, enveloping it.
He took one last look at the deep starry sky. It soared into the sky and flew towards the city ruins not far away.
They couldn't get close to that planet, but that didn't mean they couldn't do anything else.
Or could it... write something?
