Chapter 084: Deep in the Killing Game
Hahaha...
Qian Juguang burst into maniacal laughter, his voice shrill and piercing, as if on the verge of madness. A pair of flesh wings suddenly burst forth from his back, flapping wildly as he rose into the air, hovering 10 meters above the ground, gazing down at Sun Yan with an unfeeling stare.
"Sun Yan, no matter how cunning you are, this time you're also unable to escape. Savor the delicious meal I've carefully prepared for you!" Qian Julong laughed maniacally.
His legs were bound, Sun Yan didn't dare to be too anxious, he couldn't take care of much anymore, and with all his might, he urged the inner yuan to flow into his legs, suddenly bursting out with strength, wanting to break free from this strange restraint.
Who would have thought that with every stir of the yuan force, the crimson shackles would tighten by another degree? Moreover, more and more redness seeped out from underground, spreading slowly around Sun Yan as its center, making him seem to be standing in a pool of blood.
"No need to struggle anymore, Sun Yan, I'll tell you what this thing is. Once you know, you will be completely desperate."
In mid-air, Qian JULONG's tone was icy and unmatched. The meat wings behind him flapped continuously, his arms wrapped around his chest, looking down at Sun Yan's expression with a calm and collected gaze.
"This ferocious beast is called the Blood Silkworm. With your limited knowledge, I suppose you've never heard of it. Let me enlighten you - this is a sixth-grade ferocious beast that loves to devour living creatures, especially the flesh and blood of warriors, which is its delicacy. I joined John's mercenary group and revealed the information about the Iron Winged Armadillo just to lure you here, so you can experience the wonderful taste of being devoured bit by bit."
Sun Yan's face was expressionless, but in his heart he was greatly alarmed. He could already feel the Blood Silkworms eroding his body, and immediately circulated his internal yuan to protect himself from their corrosion.
This approach is undoubtedly a slow death, with his feet bound by the Blood Silkworms, he can't escape at all. Even if there's [Dragon Slaying Stake] to quickly replenish his Yuan energy, there will still be a moment when his internal Yuan is exhausted.
In the blink of an eye, this crimson aura completely seeped out from underground, and then began to shrink back in, following Sun Yan's feet, thread by thread, slowly extending upwards, gradually spreading throughout his entire body.
At this scene, Sun Yan's heart suddenly rose with a chill. Although he had never been afraid of danger before, this way of dying was really terrifying.
"Sun Yan, don't worry, you won't die that quickly. The Blood Silkworm eats slowly and savors its food, starting from the skin and hair, digesting a person bit by bit. It takes at least half a day to completely devour someone. A warrior's vitality is extremely strong, which means you'll live for at least another 6 hours, so be grateful." Qian Julong burst into maniacal laughter, his voice extremely unpleasant, like the wailing of ghosts and wolves, making one's scalp tingle.
Sun Yan's eyes were cold and stern, his heart was cursing wildly. This dead lunatic, after not seeing him for a period of time, had not only become unhuman and unghostly, but also completely twisted in mind.
The crimson color had gradually spread to Sun Yan's waist, when suddenly, the blood caterpillar's movement came to a halt.
Not far away, the corpse of Tieyi Chuan Shan Jia suddenly changed, a layer of frost covered the surface of the corpse, condensing it into an exotic beast ice sculpture. The blood silkworm seemed to be attracted, and strands of crimson slid towards the ice sculpture.
"What a great opportunity!"
Upon seeing this, Sun Yan couldn't help but feel great joy, as if he had seen a glimmer of hope to escape his predicament. Now it seemed that the corpse of the Iron Winged Mountain Tortoise was even more attractive to the Blood Silkworms.
Who would have thought that the blood silkworms only split out a few strands of tentacles, and then wrapped the corpse of the iron-winged mountain tortoise over, immediately following which, the crimson vines accelerated their spread, quickly climbing up to Sun Yan's chest.
"Hahaha...... Sun Yan, you think you can escape? Too naive."
In mid-air, Qian JULONG laughed wildly and said: "Do you think I went to great lengths to lure you here just to let the Blood Silkworm swallow you up? You're not worthy of me doing that."
Pausing for a moment, gazing at the bloodworm that had spread to Sun Yan's neck, Qian Julong said in a cold tone: "I admit it, Sun Yan, your martial arts talent is rare. Among all the young people in Luoshan City, perhaps only Feng Lingxue can compare with you."
"In order to defeat you and avenge my past humiliation, I underwent beastification modification and became this half-human, half-beast creature. Originally, I thought that with my current strength, even a fourth-level warrior would be hard-pressed to be my match, and I could thoroughly crush you, the trash, tearing you into pieces of shredded meat. But, several days ago when I saw you again on White Prison Planet, I realized I was wrong."
Qian Jugu's voice suddenly rose to a high pitch, and he hysterically shouted: "You, this trash, can actually easily hunt down the Frost Blade Black Rhinoceros! With such outstanding martial arts talent, why did it appear on someone like you? Such martial arts talent should only be possessed by me, who was born into a thousand-year-old martial family!"
"Hmph, so I changed my original plan." Qian JULONG smiled gloomily and said slowly: "My purpose for coming to Bai Yu Xing this time is, on the one hand, to kill you and avenge my past shame. On the other hand, it's also for the Iron Winged Mountain Tortoise and the Blood Silkworm."
"With your lowly vision, you must think that the Iron Winged Wugui's body is a treasure, but you don't know the true value of this strange beast. Now let me tell you what the true value of the Iron Winged Wugui is, and broaden your horizons."
Qian Jugu said, getting increasingly excited: "The Iron Winged Mountain Tortoise is born with a natural coldness, and even its attacks have an icy effect. The Blood Silkworm, on the other hand, is even rarer, with a natural affinity for fire. Although it's only a sixth-level beast, its bodily fluids can slowly dissolve even S-grade alloys. However, in the research data of the Humanoid Alliance, there is no mention that after the Blood Silkworm devours the Iron Winged Mountain Tortoise, there is a certain probability of producing a mutated evolution."
"Of course, the probability of such evolution is extremely low, less than one in a billion, and there are no clear examples to date that show what the outcome of this mutation would be. However, through our organization's long-term experiments and calculations, we have come to an astonishing conclusion: once this mutation is complete, it will merge like water and fire, forming a crystalline body with icy flames at its core. This crystalline body is a deadly poison for humans, but for beasts, it is a miraculous elixir that enhances their strength, even allowing them to transcend their physical limits and undergo a metamorphosis."
Sun Yan's back chilled as he listened, and he said indifferently: "Qian JULONG, you don't have to be so smug. With a probability of less than one in a billion, luck won't come to your head either."
Qian Julong showed a triumphant smile, looking up at the sky and laughing loudly: "Haha, I knew you'd say that! Our organization has mastered a method that can 100% induce this evolution through long-term experimentation. It's just that Blood Silkworms are too rare, even in the entire Odin Star Domain, it's hard to find one, so we never had the chance to test it. Now, I didn't expect heaven to bless me like this, not only did I find Iron Winged Mountain Tortoise and Blood Silkworm at the same time, but you, Sun Yan, were also delivered right to my doorstep."
"I'll let you in on another secret, during this fusion process, the Blood Silkworm can also merge the genetic material of the living things it has swallowed into the Ice Fire Silkworm Cocoon. When I consume the Ice Fire Silkworm Cocoon, not only will I be able to grasp both the icy and fiery attributes at the same time, but I'll also possess your martial arts talent. Hahaha..., Sun Yan, I really must thank you for creating this extraordinary wedding dress for me."
Sun Yan's body was now completely cold, and he clearly knew that he might not have much chance of survival. He sneered: "Your organization? Is it the one that turns you into a half-human, half-beast? This beastization experiment is a taboo for the humanoid alliance. Once the news leaks out, your Qian family will surely suffer a catastrophic disaster."
Qian Julong's smile froze, and he said in a gloomy tone: "Leaking information? Do you think that's possible? As long as I devour the Ice Fire Cocoon and merge your martial arts talent, I'll definitely become the greatest young genius of our time. Give me ten years, and even if it's Yunyang Lin Bingxue from the South Wind Domain, I can defeat her and make the Qian family proud."
"Hmph, talking to you about these things is just like playing the zither to a cow. This lump of rotten mud, how can it understand my lofty ambitions?"
As they spoke, the Blood Silkworm had already crawled over Sun Yan's neck and sealed his lips and nose, preventing him from saying another word.
Moments later, Sun Yan was completely sealed within the Blood Silkworm, as if being imprisoned in a semi-transparent crimson gelatinous substance, becoming a living sculpture.
Gurgling, a layer of bubbles emerged from the surface, and Sun Yan did not feel suffocated, still able to breathe freely. It's just that, thinking about opening his mouth, the blood silkworm would pour into his mouth, he felt a wave of nausea.
So Sun Yan could only close his mouth tightly, lock his nostrils with internal yuan, open all the pores on his body, and use skin pores to replace normal breathing.
"Sun Yan, don't worry, after being bound by the Blood Silkworm, you won't die from suffocation."
Qian Juzi's body was suspended in mid-air, his face extremely pleased as he savored Sun Yan's expression. He said slowly: "Not long from now, when your yuan energy is completely depleted, you will start to feel a burning pain on your skin. This pain will persist until your nerves are burned out, only then will it thoroughly disappear."
After a while, the corpse of the iron-winged Chrysalis slowly dissolved, and strands of frost merged into the blood silkworm. Gradually, layer by layer, the scarlet gelatinous substance on Sun Yan's surface thickened, gradually forming a cocoon-like object.
The cocoon was two meters high, with a crimson gel-like substance that shone with a faint blue light, giving off an eerie glow. Sun Yan's figure slowly became blurry and it was hard to see his situation.
"The body of Iron Wing has completely dissolved, it's time to add the catalyst."
Qian Julong muttered to himself as he took out a light blue bottle, shook it vigorously and slowly poured its contents evenly over the cocoon.
Then, one by one, bottles were taken out, and these bottles contained powders of various colors.
Looking at these things, Qian Juzong said with a sigh: "These powders are extremely precious, each bottle is equivalent to the value of D-grade gene fluid. Using it on Sun Yan, this trash, is really a waste of resources, but considering that the ultimate beneficiary is me, it can be considered as making good use of things."
Every word, every sentence, Sun Yan heard clearly. In his heart, he cursed wildly: Qian Julong, you son of a bitch! If I can escape this predicament, I will definitely tear your stinky mouth apart and punch out your dog eyes.
Unfortunately, at this time, Sun Yan was completely unable to speak or move. He only felt the yuan force protecting his body surface slowly disappearing, and he feared that before long, as Qian JULONG had said, he would indeed suffer endless burning pain.
A bottle of powder was sprinkled down, and the cocoon suddenly lit up, bursting out a few strands of crimson, eerie light. The surface of the cocoon completely solidified, forming a red scaly shell, and Sun Yan's figure could no longer be seen.
