CHAPTER 954: CHAPTER 953: CHAOS (PART 2)

In an instant, giant waves surged to the sky!

Xia Yu had foreseen this scene in advance, and with a slight sigh, he didn’t know what to say. The show began even before his appearance!

He was the "Prophet," and he remained calm.

But the once calm Benchagan Lake, within a few seconds, had its waves rising ten to twenty meters. This dramatic change caught Tiqie Ji, who released the demon insects, completely off guard. He stepped back in astonishment, even dropping the silver box without a second glance.

"Splash—"

Water droplets fell like rain, drenching Ghost Father Tiqie Ji in his black dress suit. He widened his eyes as he watched the expanding giant shadow within the water curtain, shouting, "It’s here!"

Following that, the gathered giants all shared the same chaotic and incredulous expression.

The shadow was no longer something like a tadpole or a fish.

Instead, it was...

"Ribbit! Ribbit!"

A loud frog croak, and a giant frog as big as a house leaped high from the lake’s surface, casting a massive shadow upon the lakeshore. Sensing danger, Xia Yu immediately grabbed Luther and Adelaide, speeding away to evade, while the remaining giants, seeing the black blur, also reacted. The strongest, Lin Qingfeng, grabbed her son Chen Yang, "Go—"

With a rumble, the giant frog descended heavily, causing dust to fly everywhere.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

The hunters watching inhaled the dust, and coughing sounds spread across the area.

Tulip and Jintan Shun, having dodged to a safe distance, stood on high ground, looking at the giant frog amidst the dust, exchanging shocked glances, "Has it evolved! From a tadpole to a frog form!"

"Why is this happening!"

Tiqie Ji’s hair was all tousled, and his expression was filled with surprise and confusion, "Didn’t it get severely injured!"

"What’s going on!" Lin Qingfeng glanced towards the food gathering giants, her eyes cold.

The second seat ’Breeding Witch’ Catherine, lifted her hood, her deep and beautiful blue eyes exuded calm as she said, "I am very sure it was severely injured and fled, hiding in the lake to avoid our hunt..."

Ribbit!

A loud croak, and Tiqie Ji watched as two demon insects hovering above the giant frog’s head were swept away by a red blur, followed by the giant frog opening its mouth to swallow the insects.

It was the tongue of the giant frog!

However, the speed at which the tongue shot and retracted was so fast that even Lin-level hunters could only capture a glimpse of a red streak.

"Damn it, the tracking tool insect the leader entrusted to me was eaten by it!"

Tiqie Ji showed anger on his face, stepping forward, but the anger quickly turned into panic as the giant frog’s big eyes glanced over, clearly sensing him as a threat. It opened its mouth with a Ribbit, its tongue shooting out again, causing Tiqie Ji to cry out as he was flung into the sky like a small black dot.

Witnessing this, the surrounding hunters swallowed hard.

This thing is not to be trifled with!

Catherine’s beautiful blue eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, yet she continued in a calm tone, "It was forced to evolve from its injured state into a mature form... Simply put, its mature form is unstable, and its fighting power is severely weakened!"

"Look quickly—"

Some sharp-eyed hunter shouted, "It’s bleeding from the abdomen!"

The dust finally cleared, giving everyone a full view of the giant frog. Indeed, its abdomen bore a blood-soaked gash, but curiously, the blood from the frog’s shape was a strong crimson!

"This is the wound I left on it before!" The fourth seat ’Dragon Tamer’ Sta said in a deep voice.

The third seat ’Burning Purple Rose’ Andrea smiled sweetly, "Look at its back, those burn marks are still there, a mark that cannot be erased!"

"Enough of the chit-chat—"

Lei Zhe stepped forward, his left eye filled with greed suddenly transforming into a terrifying vertical pupil, and turning blood-red, with twisted blue veins crawling over the eye socket. His entire face quickly became disfigured, with his right eye covered by swollen muscle, leaving only the vertical pupil of his left eye, swirling with evil intent.

In an instant, the living person turned into a monster with a ghostly head and human body.

Ribbit! The giant frog shot out its tongue again.

"Haha, I’m not a fool like Tiqie Ji!" The head-transformed Lei Zhe sneered, surprisingly grabbing the fast-approaching large tongue with both hands, holding it tightly even against the slimy body, "This tongue is annoying, so tear it off!"

He yanked hard.

Hmm?!

The face filled with muscles and veins showed shock and confusion, followed by a loud crash and dust, and the giant frog’s mansion-sized body seemingly teleported as it pinned Lei Zhe underneath, with scorching heat roasting him, forcing him to ask for help from watching giants, panic-stricken, "How long are you planning to watch, join in, kill and capture it!"

But the other giants acted as though they didn’t hear, discussing softly among themselves.

"It seems the mature form not only adds a tongue attack!" Andrea smiled.

"Indeed, its movement speed... is almost teleportation!" Catherine nodded.

"And high temperatures!"

The fifth seat ’Professor of Heavenly Eye’ Desani, with a vintage-style monocle over his right eye, the lens shadowing the eye like gears turning in an antique clock, placed his fingers on the frame, eyebrows showing seriousness, "...The area around the giant frog is rapidly heating up, be careful, this thing is like a mobile sun!"

"Ribbit!"

Suddenly, the giant frog’s big eyes swept around, noticing these dangerous individuals, eyes revealing a ravenous gleam, its joyful croak echoed as it opened its mouth and its tongue shot out like a streak.

"Noise!"

Yet, a green light intersected.

With a click, a small piece of red severed tongue dropped to the ground, still twitching and bouncing.

The group saw Lin Qingfeng, who sent out that green streak, couldn’t help but say, "She’s started!"

Unbeknownst to everyone, Lin Qingfeng’s fair and delicate left arm under her cheongsam had transformed into a sharp Mantis Scythe Blade.

In fact, these bodily transformations are just external manifestations of the "Food Cells" being stimulated. For example, Lei Zhe’s head grew, turning into an evil demon head, while Desani’s change was subtle, only affecting his right eye area.

Transformations like Lin Qingfeng’s arm becoming a weapon are actually quite common, but someone like Xia Yu, whose hair changes with flamboyant effects, is rare.

Lin Qingfeng undoubtedly sounded the horn for the head-hunting feast of the food gathering giants.

"Ha!"

The ’Dragon Tamer’ Sta, with eyes turning fiercely wild under the iron mask, underwent transformations in both his hands and feet, growing longer and sharper nails, instantly becoming like the limbs of an Earth Dragon, covered in scales. He roared upward like a giant dragon and pounced on the giant frog.

’Burning Purple Rose’ Andrea kept shoving strange candies into her mouth as she mumbled, "Need to replenish energy, otherwise the demon within might run amok from hunger, how terrible..." Her eyes were ablaze.

The giants ignored the piece of giant frog tongue that had fallen to the ground.

However, the atmosphere among the surrounding hunters changed abruptly, with eyes filled with greed fixed on the twitching piece of severed tongue, "It’s part of its body, it’s definitely a food ingredient, right?"

"Master!"

In the crowd, Luo Tiangang said to Huang He, "I will fetch this severed tongue for you—"

Huang He’s breathing was slightly heavy, "Enough, this piece of severed tongue, estimated to be several pounds, claiming it would be a harvest for us on this trip!"

Luo Tiangang dashed forward.

At the same time, silhouettes flashed, along with Luo Tiangang, Tulip, Jintan Shun, and several other hidden Lin Giants participated in this hunt.

But just as they advanced, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, suddenly a colorful light unfurled in their vision, a palm made of colorful silk threads reached out from the air, directly grabbing the severed tongue on the ground, and instantly retracting it.

This scene unfolded so quickly and suddenly that the onlookers were rendered dumbstruck.

"System, collect the ingredient!"

"Beeps, [Unidentified Ingredient] *1 has been acquired."
