Chapter 77: The Death Manipulator (Seeking Recommendations, Seeking Collections)

  The seeds that Raul planted in the corpses of the two-headed giants were also a type of higher-level demonic plant, known as Devourers. In their normal state, these plants resembled a shriveled-up ball of fur, but when they hunted, they could extend dozens of thin tendrils to tear apart and devour prey several times larger than themselves, making them even more bizarre than the man-eating Devil's Vines.

  At this moment, the two devourer seeds that had entered the bodies of the two-headed giant beasts suddenly burst open, and several slender tentacles with countless suckers immediately sprouted out, deeply piercing into the flesh and blood of the corpses. As they frantically devoured and plundered the fresh flesh and blood, they rapidly grew and multiplied, producing more tentacles. In less than a minute, the devourer's tentacles had spread throughout the bodies of the two-headed giant beasts, causing their skin to bulge with long, thin, and wildly twisting protrusions, as if there were countless terrifying parasites hidden in their muscles. Then, the massive bodies of the two beasts began to twitch slightly, and after a sudden convulsion, they actually stood up alive!

  "What is this!?" Old Liu stared at the scene in front of him in shock and said incredulously.

  "This is a demonized plant produced after being guided by the natural system, a terrifying weapon accidentally developed by those beastmen ability holders, named - Death Manipulator!" Raul gave Lao Liu a brief explanation, and then coldly laughed: "Look, our little treasure will give them a surprise."

  Originally, these strange magical plants were the seeds that Old Liu had seen earlier, which were introduced into the souls of the beastmen by Nigell. These seeds were taken from the magical plants in the Gaya Rainforest and did not have any unusual properties on their own, but after being infused with the natural abilities of the beastmen and the spirits of the deceased beast warriors, they underwent a mysterious transformation, much like a chemical reaction.

  Although they still look like insignificant seeds from the outside, once they find a suitable host (the trunk of a giant tree or a flesh and blood body), these mutated tree species can be planted. They can spread wildly like cancer cells, immediately infecting the entire body of the host and transforming it into a terrifying biological weapon. As Shadowcat Nigra said, they have three thousand treant companions that can be deployed into battle at any time, referring to these seeds rather than actual treants following them onto the battlefield of Pamba River.

  At this time, thousands of meters away from the two giant beast corpses, thousands of water demons were shouting and rushing on the surface of the water, as if they were riding the wind and breaking the waves. However, behind them, countless terrifying sea creatures were still closely following, wailing and screaming, riding on high waves, and crazily surging forward, as if they wanted to swallow them all up.

  "Are there no more slaves? Leave all the slaves behind, let them block these sea monsters! Hurry!" A water demon that looked like a commander shouted loudly as he rushed around, asking in all directions.

  "General, there are no more slaves! The last batch of beastman slaves were torn apart by those sea tribes!" A water demon wiped the cold sweat from his face, turned around and replied quickly. Moreover, he seemed to recall the terrifying bloody scene before, and his tone of voice still carried a slight tremble.

  "Bastards! No beastman slaves, go fill yourselves!" The water demon commander roared in a rage, just about to scold them, and was going to abandon those imperfectly evolved water demon soldiers, when suddenly a dark shadow pressed down on him from the front, directly blocking his path!

  "What thing dares to block my way!" The water demon leader raised his head in disbelief, and saw a giant, fat, almost headless crawling worm, its mouth wide open, charging towards him with an almost crazy expression. This worm-like creature was covered with countless dirty mud and fine gravel, emitting a foul odor from all over its body, with numerous large and small teeth filling its oral cavity, becoming denser as it went deeper, looking like a terrifying meat grinder. And at the center of these teeth was a huge, dark, deep cave.

  "Venomous dragon, what do you want to do!" The water demon let out a roar of anger and wanted to ask more questions, but the swamp venom dragon's huge mouth had already covered it, leaving this pious water demon no time to dodge! In a panic, the water demon leader hastily grabbed a nearby water demon soldier who was unable to dodge in time and stuffed half his body into the swamp venom dragon's open mouth. Immediately, a series of crisp and loud bone-shattering sounds rang out, making one's hair stand on end, as this water demon's blood sprayed out like a fountain from the giant insect's head!

  "Bastard, dare to attack me! Die for me!" The water demon leader took the opportunity to pull out his hand and punch it into the poisonous dragon's body. Suddenly, the poisonous dragon's abdomen burst open, and a deep wound was blown out of its body. However, this swamp poisonous dragon was originally a corpse, only controlled by the death manipulator, and had the appearance of coming back to life. It didn't know what pain was, nor would it be afraid of how severe the wound on its body was. It continued to devour the unlucky water demon soldier, gnawing his half-remaining body to pieces, and then bit down on the water demon leader again!

  "Damn it! Are you crazy?!" The water demon leader was momentarily unable to comprehend the situation, nor did he know that this poisonous dragon was actually a manipulated corpse that had long been dead. For the time being, he could only dodge continuously, while roaring at his surroundings: "What are you all stunned for? Do you want to be torn into pieces by the sea tribe behind us?! If you don't want to die, quickly kill this mad beast for me!"

  A group of water demons immediately woke up after being shouted at, and they all showed off their ultimate skills. In an instant, countless water bullets, water cannons, and knife attacks driven by water magic fell on the poisonous dragon's body. With a loud noise, it directly blew up more than half of the poisonous dragon's body into minced meat. Before they could catch their breath, another wave burst out in the murky floodwaters, and a sea king beast with severe injuries all over its body violently bit several water demons, its upper and lower jaws closing fiercely, directly biting them in two. After that, it swallowed them alive amidst the crazy screams of the remaining half-bodied water demons.

  "Attack quickly, give me an attack!" The water demon commander shouted loudly.

  When all the water demons focused their attention on this shiny sea king beast, the only remaining half of the poisonous dragon's corpse also suddenly burst out with hundreds of thin, vine-like things, entwining more than a dozen water demons who couldn't react in time, dragging them head to tail, and stuffing them into its own huge wound. This half-remaining corpse was still constantly wriggling, emitting crunching sounds, as if it was still swallowing food.

  "What the hell is this thing! Why did it appear here." The water demon commander, who had just suffered a crushing defeat, now encountered this incomprehensible thing and his spirit almost collapsed, he simply let out a mad roar: "Kill our way out, kill our way out, don't mind these monsters. As long as we escape back to the inner river, we'll be saved!"

  Raul and Liu Ting simultaneously sneered, saying in unison: "Now you think of running, it's already too late!"

  In the midst of the roaring waves, countless sea tribes swarmed in, instantly covering the area where the water demon was located. In an instant, the Water Demon and the Western Sea Tribe clashed, their voices rising as they began another frenzied battle. Even the two giant beast corpses controlled by the Death Manipulator were not to be outdone, letting out a chorus of roars as they charged forward towards the countless delicious blood feasts before them, regardless of which camp they belonged to, biting and devouring everything in sight, making the entire scene even more chaotic.

  It's worth noting that although these sea tribes are numerous, most of them aren't very intelligent, and a large portion of them are even ferocious monsters living in the depths of the ocean. Although they were driven here by the higher-ranking sea tribes, they don't actually know what's going on. At this moment, they're being attacked by two death controllers' corpses, one of which is a poisonous dragon that can at least be distinguished from their own kind. However, the other one, a sea king beast, is excessively ferocious and has bitten and swallowed over a dozen sea tribes, causing huge chaos among them. The deep-sea monsters that were attacked by their "own kind" aren't backing down either, and they're joining the battle circle with angry roars. Even the higher-ranking sea tribes that drove them here can't control them, turning this battlefield into an even more intense free-for-all. The number of casualties on both sides is also increasing rapidly.

  "Alright, those pesky water demons are done for. But we still need to have some fun." Raul suddenly jumped into the flood and swam towards the battlefield.

  "Brother Laoluo, where are you going?" Old Liu asked with a curious mind.

  Raul smiled slyly at Old Liu and said, "Go catch a live one. Hopefully, we can get some useful information out of his mouth." With that, he quickly approached the battlefield, completely disregarding the intense fighting between the two sides. He killed over a hundred ghosts who blocked his way. Then, he directly grabbed a water demon and pulled him away, pinching his neck all the way until they reached Old Liu's side.

  Looking at the trembling and speechless water demon, Raul didn't rush to ask questions. Instead, he sneered and grabbed his arm joint. With a slight force, a crisp sound of bone fracture echoed. The water demon's body immediately stiffened, with blue veins bulging on its forehead, but the bones in its arm had already been completely crushed. Only then did Raul speak in an exceptionally calm tone: "Hello there, water bug. I have some questions for you now. Can you tell me?"

  The water demon's eyes had just flashed a hint of fear, and Lao Er's face broke into a smile again, but this time it was extremely cold as he said: "Don't worry, I won't force you to say anything you don't want to. After all, we're allies, right?"

  Bai Shui Yao was covered in cold sweat from head to toe, staring at Raul with a terrified expression, desperately making "uuu" sounds from his constricted throat, as if trying to shout.

  "You don't seem to want to tell me, what a pity." Raul's eyes shot out intense ferocity, and with a cold laugh, he actually tore off the water demon's arm. Then, still smiling, he said: "Our beastmen hospitality is indeed very enthusiastic. We will disassemble your injured limbs, heal them, and then help you put them back on. Now, you're covered in wounds all over, I must help you recover. The only problem is, I don't know what to do next. Tell me, should I dismantle your hands or feet first?"
