CHAPTER 489: CHAPTER 229: HAS SU YAN GONE MAD? SURELY OVERESTIMATING HIMSELF!_1

The monk before him was clad in a red cassock, its collar loose and revealing extremely exaggerated chest muscles.

Looking at the burly, bald monk in front of him, Su Yan had a genuine fear. He might suddenly exclaim, "Audacious fiend, I can tell at a glance you are not human!" And then, without another word, launch straight into a Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon attack on him.

"Xu Zhi, why aren’t you speaking?"

Seeing Su Yan staring at him intently, Monk Jingkong asked, a puzzled look on his face.

Su Yan collected himself and tentatively asked, "I’ve been reincarnated, so how can you still tell I’m the Xu Zhi you think I am?"

Monk Jingkong smiled. "Although your appearance has changed after reincarnation, I can still sense that familiar aura about you."

"What aura?"

Upon hearing Monk Jingkong’s words, Su Yan grew curious.

Monk Jingkong replied without hesitation, "The aura of an old lecher."

Su Yan: "???"

「Half a minute later.」

Monk Jingkong had vanished.

Su Yan, however, remained standing on the thick tree branch, lost in thought as he pondered his identity.

He was puzzled. Was he truly the senior brother his ’big sister’ had mentioned, and the Xu Zhi the monk had just spoken of? Yet, why couldn’t he recall any related memories after consuming the Reincarnation Fruit and Reincarnation Flower?

"Forget it. I’ll take it one step at a time and let things happen naturally," he thought.

With that, Su Yan leaped from the tree trunk and continued his late-night hunt.

By this time, it was already 2:30 a.m.

The land previously submerged by the Jiaolong’s gushing waters had now drained, leaving behind a soggy swamp.

After circling in the air, Su Yan found that no one had died; at worst, some were merely injured.

It seemed the Jiaolong’s ’Water flooded Jinshan’ attack had looked terrifying but, in reality, had only inflicted mediocre damage.

After confirming there were no casualties, Su Yan promptly commenced his hunt.

He cut a swath of destruction, intensely slaughtering the drenched Demonic Plants, mythical beasts, and Yin Entities on the ground.

Wherever he passed, not a blade of grass remained.

Ahead was a Strange Flower.

BANG!

You chose to mercilessly destroy the flower, acquiring a Legendary-level Golden Lotus Pistil.

[Swallowing Successful]

[Poison Resistance+99+99+99...]

To his left, there was a Mutant Electric Eel.

SQUELCH!

You remotely controlled a short, thin tree branch, piercing it dead on the spot.

Then you obtained one snake gallbladder.

[Swallowing Successful]

[Electric Resistance+66+66+66...]

To his right was a Demon Swamp Frog.

BANG!

You killed it on the spot and obtained an Epic-level Poisonous Fog Bead.

[Swallowing Successful]

[Spirit+888+888+888...]

[Attack inflicts Poisoning Effect]

"Poisoning Effect?"

When the notification popped up in his mind, Su Yan was rather surprised.

Having devoured so many heavenly and earthly treasures over time, this was the first time he’d encountered an attribute enhancement that added an attack effect.

How effective would it be? He had to find a creature to test it on...

Thinking this, Su Yan glanced around to see if he could find a suitable guinea pig.

However, after scanning the surroundings, he didn’t spot any mythical beasts.

There were only Demonic Plants and Yin Entities, as well as his kin who were busy hunting.

Forget it. It seems I’ll have to test the effect on myself.

With that thought, Su Yan hesitated for a moment before pinching the back of his own hand.

Instantly, a sensation both numbing and tingling surged through him!

It instantly made his body go limp, so much so that he almost couldn’t stand!

Fortunately, the sensation wasn’t unpleasant.

Instead, it felt somewhat like the tingling pleasure of intimacy—it was actually quite damn comfortable.

This attack effect really wasn’t bad. He’d have to hunt a few more Demon Swamp Frogs.

「In the time that followed.」

Su Yan continued to roam the night, constantly harvesting his targets and unceasingly enhancing his attributes.

Around four in the morning, several alarming cracks suddenly appeared on a deserted hillside.

The sounds from the fracturing were exceptionally jarring in the silent night, instantly drawing everyone’s attention.

"Look, that hillside has split open!"

"Holy crap, that’s terrifying!"

"Such a huge commotion, don’t tell me another Giant Beast is about to appear?"

The cracking of the hillside caused many to stop their hunt and begin discussing it among themselves.

It was merely discussion; no one harbored any thoughts of approaching the hillside.

After all, the Jiaolong that had appeared about two hours prior had left an indelible psychological scar on many of them.

Especially its Storm Suction attack, which seemed designed to swallow people whole, was utterly terrifying.

The memory was still vivid even now, deterring them from recklessly advancing to court death.

RUMBLE!

Suddenly, the fractured hillside began to shake violently as if the earth moved and mountains swayed, emitting a series of somewhat grating collapsing sounds.

Su Yan drew a little closer, using his Fly in the air ability to ascend above the hillside, looking down from his vantage point at the strange event unfolding below.

WHOOSH!

A sound of tearing air suddenly echoed.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, a long, vivid red, tender-looking tongue suddenly shot out from the collapsing hillside, aiming directly for Su Yan high in the sky.

Uncertain of the opponent’s strength, Su Yan didn’t recklessly engage it head-on.

Instead, he chose to evade its spearhead, turning to flee immediately, and quite easily dodged the unexpected sneak attack.

Seeing its strike miss, the long tongue swiftly retracted into the hillside with a SWISH!, completely vanishing from sight and sound.
