Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating

169 SS-class (Simulacrum) Fearsome Beast, Red Lotus Inferno Dragon

“Why?” The man with the protruding mouth and sallow cheeks asked resentfully.

“Qin Yong, remove their anti-poison gas masks and let them die out here.” Lu Yu commanded in an icy tone.

“Alright!” After Qin Yong removed the anti-poison gas masks, he rubbed his hands gleefully and gave them each a kick, sending them flying.

“No! Advisor Lu, I’m begging you! Spare me! I don’t want to die here! I…”

Without the anti-poison gas masks, under the corrosion of the poisonous gas, the man with the protruding mouth and sallow cheeks and the others immediately turned pale. In between violent convulsions, their bodies rapidly decayed.

In the end, like a memory flashback, the man with the protruding mouth and sallow cheeks roared, “Lu Yu, you shall die a terrible death!”

Song Yu looked at this scene and suddenly said, “Lu Yu, actually, I think this guy’s words are not unreasonable.”

Lu Yu shook his head and said with a disdainful sneer, “A person who can betray the master he has served for many years is able to betray again easily. I don’t want him to stab me in the back in the future.”

“That’s right! This kind of scum should be killed!” Qin Yong agreed wholeheartedly.

Over at Lunan City, the earth was shaking violently, like tens of thousands of armies galloping there. It was a majestic sight. Then, loud roars followed as another wave of Fearsome Beasts began to attack the city again.

At this rate, Lunan City would be breached in no time. At that time, several million unarmed civilians would all lose their lives under the attack of the Fearsome Beasts. The whole Lunan City would be reduced to a dead city.

Giovanna, Lu Shan and Lu Shui had already been transferred to the capital. Lu Yu had no family members in this city anymore. There was no need for him to sacrifice his own life to save the citizens of Lunan City.

However, Lu Yu had lived in this city for more than 90 years, and he had many old war comrades here who had taken part in the Holy War.

In the end, Lu Yu decided to move his hesitating feet forward again. At this moment, he said to Song Yu and Qin Yong, “I will continue into the deeper regions. With your current abilities, you guys will perish, so you are to turn back at once. Go to the two cities nearest to Lunan City and request for reinforcements.”

The seriousness of the matter had exceeded Lu Yu’s imagination, and as a last resort, he had no choice but to let Song Yu and Qin Yong leave.

“Captain Lu, you must come back alive,” Qin Yong said. Then he and Song Yu turned back without further hesitation.

The two of them were well-aware that if they tagged along with Lu Yu to go forward, they would only be a burden to him. If he proceeded alone, he would have no worries and could have a slight chance of staying alive.

Moments later, Lu Yu proceeded to the deeper regions of the blood-sucking wasteland all alone. Before leaving, Song Yu had handed over all their remaining antidote pills to him. After he swallowed one pill, his body’s poison immunity strengthened a notch.

Roar! Numerous maniacal roars rang out.

In the deep regions of the blood-sucking wasteland, the Fearsome Beasts were all of S-class level. Under normal circumstances, they were able to destroy a city fortress completely. However, at this moment, they were under the influence of the poisonous gas and had gradually become insane. They kept hitting the mountains with their heads, their faces full of pain and anguish.

“What a terrifying scene,” Lu Yu murmured with trepidation.

[Ding! Detected that host has absorbed mysterious entity’s poisonous gas. Received: Poison Immunity +700…]

[Ding! Detected that host has absorbed mysterious entity’s poisonous gas. Received: Poison Immunity +689…]

…

Right at this moment, Lu Yu’s poison immunity was rapidly increasing. Soon, a look of realization crept over his face.

Previously, when he absorbed the poisonous gas, his health vitality declined rapidly. That was because his body had not attained the required level of poison resistance. After taking the antidote pill, his poison resistance increased a lot.

After his Gluttony Talent devoured the poison gas, his resistance to poison would strengthen once more!

Lu Yu swallowed two more antidote pills. A series of tiny texts appeared before his eyes, showing his poison resistance index increasingly continuously.

Right at this moment, in the sky above the dead and lifeless blood-sucking wasteland, a stream of air was rapidly coalescing, forming a hurricane in the twinkling of an eye which then blasted over.

The pervasive unknown entity was gathered into a mass and blown in the direction of Lunan City.

Lu Yu’s face darkened rapidly. With this turn of events, the whole Lunan City would become a poisoned city.

Immediately after that, a loud thunderous roar was heard. The aura of a War General level enveloped the area overwhelmingly. A War General powerful expert was engaged in a furious battle.

Lu Yu immediately thought of the black-clad woman, and his expression became more and more troubled. This woman was actually putting the whole Lunan City in danger due to the spread of the poisonous gas.

Roar! Ferocious roars shook the sky and earth as wave after wave of evil auras erupted, colliding violently with the aura of a War General.

Lu Yu rapidly approached only to see the slightly pale-faced black-clad woman facing a Fearsome Beast in an abyss-like canyon. The Fearsome Beast opposite her was attacking her in a frenzied manner, not giving her a chance to breathe.

[Red Lotus Inferno Dragon]

[Level: SS-class (Simulacrum)]

[Introduction: A gigantic dragon that controls the Red Lotus Inferno. Although it is just a simulacrum of a SS-class Fearsome Beast, in its berserk state, its strength is comparable to an SS-class Fearsome Beast.]

The Red Lotus Inferno Dragon in front of Lu Yu was covered in a layer of skin that resembled lava. There was a row of red crystal sharp spikes running down its back. It was a gigantic beast that was more than 40 meters long, and it emitted an earth-shattering aura.

The black-clad woman retreated while defending. She also became exasperated from the relentless attacks and yelled in a shrill voice, “You beast! Do not think I am afraid of you! If I do not hack you down today, I am not fit to be human!”

As soon as the words were uttered, a vortex gathered in the black-clad woman’s right hand. An aura like a raging storm burst forth and condensed into a huge wind spear in a flash. It then shot toward the Red Lotus Inferno Dragon.

“Spear of Tempest God!”

The black-clad woman roared out loud. Pouring her whole body’s true energy to make the wind spear became more solid, the spear shot out in an instant and pierced through the abdomen of the Red Lotus Inferno Dragon.

However, just when she was about to celebrate in joy, the black-clad woman’s face changed drastically.

She saw the blood and flesh on the Red Lotus Inferno Dragon’s abdomen writhing, and then the wound quickly healed.

Lu Yu was also amazed that this simulacrum of an SS-class Fearsome Beast actually had a powerful healing ability.

“Aunt, we can’t hold on any longer, help me!” Ying Qufeng and the others, suffering from the group attack of a horde of Red Lotus Inferno Dragons, had lost more than half of their team to deaths and injuries.

The black-clad woman was distracted for a moment and was ruthlessly knocked away by the Red Lotus Inferno Dragon. Her black clothes were stained with blood as she fell to the ground.

And Ying Qufeng’s arm was also broken by the bite of a full-grown Red Lotus Inferno Dragon, and he let out a blood-curdling scream.

The black-clad woman wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and her expression became increasingly more grim. Initially, she thought that it would not take much effort to kill it when she encountered an SS-class (simulacrum) Fearsome Beast in this canyon. She did not expect the strength of this Fearsome Beast to exceed her imagination by so much.

It was totally unlike the strength that an SS-class (simulacrum) Fearsome Beast should possess!

“Mr. Lu, how much longer do you want to watch the show?” Suddenly, the black-clad woman turned her head to look in one direction and said in a low voice, “Although our positions are different, surely you understand the principle, that if one side falls, the other interdependent party will be in danger?”

Lu Yu then emerged. He had wanted to sit back and reap the benefits initially, but now he looked rather embarrassed and said, “You certainly lived up to your reputation of a War General powerful expert. You discovered my presence so easily.”
