Looking at the Crimson Flame Eagle King, which was as big as a small mountain, Wang Zheng ate like crazy, stuffing food into his mouth.
He's racing against time; if he doesn't eat soon, it'll all be gone.
Even so, Wang Zheng only managed to recover a little over 10,000 points of spiritual energy.
Well, how should I put it? I guess it's not a bad deal if you force it.
You might make a small profit, but I'll never lose!
Wang Zheng had truly done his best. By the time the candle flames had burned the entire corpse into a charred mess, his stomach felt like it was about to burst.
If Wang Zheng hadn't been physically strong and hadn't had his digestive abilities greatly enhanced, he wouldn't have been able to eat so much demon king meat at all.
Looking at the Crimson Flame Eagle King, which had become history, Wang Zheng felt heartbroken and tears welled up in his eyes.
"So, if you gave me the ability to increase my talent by eating meat, why didn't you give me a stomach that can never be full? This is such a huge loss! Being able to eat is a blessing, the ancients were right... *burp*"
When Wang Zheng lay on the ground resting, clutching his stomach, Xiao Jin beside him also had tears in her eyes, her grievances clearly visible.
Just as Wang Zheng was showing off his physique, Xiao Jin, who was on his back, clearly had a desire to eat.
After all, they also eat meat and drink blood, so it's understandable that they would have some thoughts when they see such a feast.
However, when he cautiously extended his golden roots, wanting to get a share of the spoils, the flames on the demon king's body suddenly surged.
If Wang Zheng hadn't been quick enough to scoop the little guy back, its golden body would have been injured.
Xiao Jin was unaware that the flames on the demon king's body were completely out of control, but Wang Zheng knew very well that.
Moreover, this little golden tree is not only a tree, but it also possesses a great deal of spiritual energy. For Zhu Yan, it is a highly flammable and explosive substance. If he were to get even a little bit of it, he would be in for a world of trouble.
Seeing the pitiful-looking Xiao Jin, Wang Zheng had no choice but to take out two pieces of the Poisonous Python King's meat from his storage space and throw them over. After all, the little guy had helped in the battle just now, so giving him a little reward wasn't too much to ask.
Although Wang Zheng gave it meat as compensation, Xiao Jin was still not satisfied. Compared to the mountain-sized Crimson Flame Eagle King, this amount of meat was simply not enough.
But having something to eat is better than nothing. After witnessing the ferocity of the candle flames, he was clearly startled and dared not act rashly again.
In an instant, his tiny golden roots tightly enveloped the two large pieces of flesh, and then injected some special secretions.
Immediately afterwards, the originally firm chunks of meat softened rapidly, just like jelly, and were completely absorbed by Xiao Jin in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this scene, Wang Zheng was amazed and marveled at the wonders of nature...
To be fair, this battle with the Crimson Flame Eagle King gave Wang Zheng a great deal of confidence.
Although he himself consumed over 100,000 units of spiritual energy, the rewards from the kill and the gains from absorbing the inner core completely made up for these losses.
Looking at the spiritual energy limit that had rebounded and even increased to over 600,000, and the visualization progress that had increased by another 1%, Wang Zheng seemed to be deep in thought.
"Perhaps this method of combat could be used as a tactic in the future, to feign defeat and be swallowed whole by the Demon King, and then unleash an attack from within his body?"
However, this bold idea was rejected by Wang Zheng himself as soon as it came to mind.
This combat method still has some limitations. If the opponent's spiritual energy is not depleted in advance, the progress will probably not be so smooth.
Ultimately, the reason Wang Zheng consumed tens of thousands of spiritual energy was a side effect of competing with the Crimson Flame Eagle King in spiritual energy.
If the Crimson Flame Eagle King hadn't been unable to find a successor, it's hard to say whether he could have achieved such results.
If the opponent has sufficient spiritual energy, this move won't be as effective, and other demon kings, unlike this Crimson Flame Eagle, don't like to transform into human form.
Moreover, compared to eating them raw, demon kings prefer to absorb the inner cores of their own kind and the brain cores of extraordinary beings. Who can guarantee that even if they were offered to the other party, these ferocious demon kings would most likely only want to bite them in two?
To perfectly defeat the Demon King, we'll have to wait until we achieve transcendence.
Thinking of this, Wang Zheng shook his head helplessly, then looked at his attribute panel and his gaze became firm again.
Fortunately, that day is not far away...
After Wang Zheng finished his battle summary and looked at the completely destroyed Demon King's lair, he reluctantly gave up his plan to make another profit. After all, it had been completely smashed, and he didn't feel any strong fluctuations.
Besides, if the Crimson Flame Eagle King really had something good, it wouldn't be so badly injured and still not fully recovered.
When the last bones of the Crimson Flame Eagle King had been burned to ashes, leaving only a pile of black ash, it was swept up by the gale on the mountain and scattered all over the ground.
The mighty demon king has fallen. Unlike Xiao Jin's excitement when he saw Wang Zheng actually help him kill a demon king, Wang Zheng's mood has calmed down.
Wang Zheng felt no sense of mission from the rolling wheels of history; he was even somewhat numb.
After all, including today, he has killed as many as three demon kings.
Moreover, the Crimson Flame Eagle King was extremely weak among all the demon kings, and had an innate defect. In addition, his proud flying ability and fire ability were completely countered by him, so Wang Zheng understood that there was nothing to be proud of.
While defeating someone of a higher level is certainly gratifying, Wang Zheng is well aware that this achievement was the result of a combination of factors, including his intelligence, superpowers, and special effects.
