After spending a day, Wu Xiangwang visited all the strange brother races of the "fierce creatures", and even did not spare the extremely brutal and notorious strange and powerful clan.
So when Wu Xiangwang returned home at night, he felt as if his body was hollowed out, his mind filled with the countless identical and eye-catching whiskers and hideous faces of the strange and powerful clan.
Wangwangxiannan felt that his sacrifice was too great. He was indeed a strong-willed man!
However, the number of weird creatures from the Weird and Strong clan alone in the Natural City has reached three thousand. Considering that there may be only tens of thousands of intelligent high-level weird creatures in the entire city, the Weird and Strong clan must be won over.
Now that he has won over everyone he can, the rest depends on whether the transformed beast he chooses is really as ferocious as he imagined.
The closer it got to the beauty contest, the stronger the vibrations of the beasts he could feel.
The next day, Wu Xiangwang helped Shang Chong and the others complete the brave mission. They were now classified as mid-to-high-level human adventurers, and the strange animals they had to kill were at least level five or above.
On the third day, with only one day left before the Weird Beauty Contest, Wu Xiangwang flew back to the Four Seasons Cage.
He chose the right time for it. Just when he had pretended to hang himself on chains and soak himself in an icy pond, and faked injuries and conditions all over his body with the illusion of small butterflies, the big traitor Li Yinyang came to see him.
Seeing Wu Xiangwang hanging weakly on the chains, Li Yinyang smiled grimly and with satisfaction again.
"The Bloody Wanted Criminal is nothing special. Ha, that shows how lucky you were to have escaped from those cities before."
Wu Xiangwang didn't say anything, but just raised his eyelids and looked at him.
Wangwang Xiannan was born knowing how to use the lightest look to evoke the most angry emotions in his enemies, so just this one look made Li Yinyang instantly angry.
Buzz!
He stabbed Wu Xiangwang's chest with his last long sword, and only after seeing the bright red blood did he laugh.
"I know you're a tough guy, but so what? Wasn't I more persistent and brave than you in the past?!"
"I used to be the hero of humanity!! But what did I get? Those people only knew how to ask for things and keep asking me to rush to the front, but when I needed companions, none of those cowardly guys were willing to fight for me! Bah!"
"I don't need those weak and stupid humans as my companions. I just figured it out during those three months of captivity."
"No one can truly leave this world! Do you know that humans have been in this world for almost a hundred years?"
"In a hundred years, not a single human has escaped from this strange world. Why should you and I be able to get out?"
Li Yinyang's voice changed at the end. He looked at Wu Xiangwang, whose expression remained unchanged, and felt very angry again. Since he became a traitor, he naturally hoped that he was not the only traitor.
So, he decided to tell the secret he knew that had not spread among humans.
He wanted to see the shocked and desperate expression on the human's face after hearing the news.
"You know what, Bloody Wanted? Haha, from the moment we were captured and brought to this world, strange toxins have been accumulating and spreading in our bodies. Even if you've been using purification stones and eating the food here since you started in the Novice Village, and even if you happened to have energy gems to upgrade your abilities from the beginning, your human lifespan in this world is only ten months."
Wu Xiangwang slowly raised his head. Li Yinyang finally felt happy after seeing his reaction. "That's right, you can only maintain your human form for a maximum of ten months."
"Even if the awakened superpowers are purified humans, they will gradually become weird after ten months."
"And for most human adventurers, the higher their level, the more energy they absorb from this world, and the longer they stay, the more likely they are to become strange."
"Maybe in the sixth month you'll notice hair or scales growing on your hands and feet, and by the eighth month your arms and neck will be completely different."
"But this is not the scariest thing."
"The scariest thing is, once your body becomes more than two-thirds weird, your brain will begin to be assimilated by weird thoughts!"
"Whatever Weird thinks, you think. What Weird likes, you like. If Weird wants to kill and eat people, you... will also want to kill and eat people!!"
Li Yinyang gritted his teeth as he uttered the last few words, "There is no solution! All humans will eventually become monsters!!"
"So, what are you still struggling for?! What the hell are you still holding on to?! In just a few months, you'll become the same thing you once hated and feared the most! You won't even be able to fully retain your own sanity! Do you still think I'm wrong?"
"I didn't give in. I just chose the most correct path!"
When he said this, he was probably too excited. Wu Xiangwang saw that his raised hands turned into claws with hard scales in an instant, and his human face was also distorted at this time. For at least ten seconds, he was torn between human and lizard head.
Don’t forget each other: “…”
Therefore, the Li Yinyang before him was actually no longer human. Or rather, he was no longer completely human.
Li Yinyang quickly noticed the look in Wu Xiangwang's eyes as he looked at him, and sneered twice without panicking.
"What are you looking at? Are you scared of my current appearance? Or are you surprised? Ha! What's there to be scared or surprised about? My current appearance will be what you will look like in the future! Do you think you can escape?!"
Li Yinyang's lizard head grinned grimly, "Impossible! No one can escape transformation. If I hadn't taken the initiative to surrender to the City Lord, I wouldn't even be able to maintain my current thoughts and rationality! If even the brain is no longer human, then isn't living the same as being dead?"
Li Yinyang's frantic expression instantly turned into extreme calmness: "After you become alienated, if you still want to retain your sanity as much as possible, instead of being sent to the City of Chaos to fend for yourself, then one day you will kneel down and beg me."
“There are many people who are not afraid of death, and there are also many people who can endure suffering and pain, but no one can watch themselves turn into the irrational monster they hate the most.”
"My choice is the right one. At least I have retained my human thoughts."
After Li Yinyang finished speaking, he turned around and left without mercy. Wu Xiangwang, who had been silent from beginning to end, slowly spoke at this time:
"Are you sure the sanity you begged from the Weird City Lord is actually the sanity of a real human being?"
Li Yinyang's body shook violently at this moment. He seemed to be very angry and the scales all over his body exploded, but in the end he didn't say a word.
He is right.
He can only be right.
This is what his brain tells him, he is still a human being, he is not a monster.
Until Li Yinyang left completely, the entire Xia Cage was silent for a long time.
After a while, someone finally cursed, "Fuck! I was wondering why that guy only lasted three months before defecting. I could never figure out why he betrayed me. Now, I kind of understand."
"Why, so you think he is right?" The deputy commander of the Demon Slayer Corps asked this question with a sarcastic tone in his voice.
"...I'm just saying I understand why he suddenly lost his temper, but I don't think he's right. Ultimately, he's just fucking scared!"
"Becoming a monster who only knows how to kill, and having everything I once protected destroyed by my own hands is indeed a very painful thing, but... what's there to be afraid of? The worst that can happen is that I will end my life before I completely transform into a weird! Or, I can drag all the enemy weirds I dislike into my own destruction!"
"As long as you are determined to die, there is nothing to fear."
After all, during those three months of suffering, Li Yinyang, who was once a hero of mankind, was tortured little by little and developed the fear of death.
He wanted to survive after all.
And all his choices thereafter, and all the reasons he used to convince himself now, were all for the sake of living.
Is this shameful? Yes.
But this is a choice that every human being faces.
However, when faced with such a choice, most people are unable to give the most heroic answer most of the time.
Therefore, Wu Xiangwang would not blame Li Yinyang too much.
But since he has chosen to become an enemy, Li Yinyang will be the one he wants to kill and plot against.
Not only Li Yinyang, but anyone who points the butcher knife at humans will be the enemy of him and humans.
Wu Xiangwang broke free from the chains and told Minister Tu and the others that he would participate in the beauty contest tomorrow.
"The beauty contest will last for two to three days. The first day will be a big fight and introductions between the top 100."
"The next day is the presentation and voting competition for the top 100."
"If the winner can be decided on the second day, there will be no need for a third day of competition. However, if there is a tie or other unexpected events on the second day, there will be an extra day of competition."
"But I will try my best to get first place the next day." Wu Xiangwang's tone was very serious, and Minister Tu and the others felt a little bit upset when they heard it.
"My teammates will find a way to come in and notify everyone to take action, and everyone will take action when the game is at its most intense."
"Today I'm going to give Brother Qianbao some more energy balls and bring up the explosive weapons he made for everyone. One of my teammates is a data analyst, and he should be able to sneak in by then. We just need to follow his instructions and place the explosive weapons at the key blast points of this cage. I believe we'll succeed in the end!"
"Until then, everyone must hold on and conserve their energy!"
Wu Xiangwang couldn't help but give another reminder, and Minister Tu and the others smiled and nodded.
"Don't worry, kid, we are more capable than you."
"But you, kid, be careful. If you get recognized, run away immediately. Don't try to stay in this weird group!"
Wu Xiangwang raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Why are you running? I'm planning to charm them to death."
Everyone laughed out loud, and then Wu Xiangwang flew into the ice and snow cage.
Qian Bao, Aunt Jiang and the other six technical adventurers who were almost frozen into popsicles are still alive and well. However, compared to Aunt Jiang's happy expression when she saw Wu Xiangwang, Qian Bao's face turned green when he saw Wu Xiangwang.
Damn, this guy actually got in! He just finished his last energy ball today, and just ate a piece of bread and grilled meat, sighing at the beauty of life!
As a result, life slapped him in the face again.
But no matter how gloomy Qian Bao's face was, Wu Xiangwang still spent another afternoon and most of the night making hundreds of energy balls for Qian Bao. After leaving some food and enough wood and charcoal, Wu Xiangwang took away the hundreds of powerful explosive devices he had made amid Qian Bao's silent roar.
After handing over the explosive devices to Minister Tu and his team, Wu Xiangwang finally completed all the preparations before participating in the beauty contest.
All that’s left is to participate in the beauty contest tomorrow.
Oh no, the rest should be... trying hard to transform and then participating in a beauty contest.
Wu Xiangwang had a good sleep.
Then, on the morning of December 10th, I stood on top of the East Gate of the City of Nature.
The moment the darkness was pierced by the morning light, he closed his eyes.
The photo of the gray monster that had already floated up in the sea of consciousness began to vibrate and burst into light, rushing towards the golden photo collection!
It actually wanted to directly integrate into the fierce creatures with intermediate skills.
Wu Xiangwang felt that the energy that had been accumulating in his body was flowing rapidly and madly pouring into the gray photo.
And when the gray black and white photo was gradually dyed with fresh green color, the beautiful creature in the photo suddenly stretched out its tender green "little leaves".
[Fierce creature: Sea slug (Leaf Sheep)
The cutest fierce creature is Leafy! There is no creature in the sea more adorable and fierce than Leafy!
Don't assume that the little leaf is easy to bully just by looking at its appearance. Just ask yourself, can you live your entire life relying on photosynthesis without eating, just like the little leaf?!
Features/Skills:
1. Eat seaweed and you will always feel full.
Complete Transformation: Green leaves aren't the only ones capable of photosynthesis, so can green leafy sheep! Just eat some seaweed to replenish some chlorophyll, and you can photosynthesize without needing to eat or drink! As long as they can get some sun, these leafy sheep can live forever!
Bloodline Bonus Skill [Photosynthesis]: After stealing chlorophyll from plants, you can photosynthesize organisms. While photosynthesizing, your life force will automatically regenerate, and even critical injuries can be repaired.
Just light, no food needed.
Note: To activate this skill, you must first eat seaweed or a sufficient amount of leaves.
Current level (Intermediate 0/10000):
1. Intermediate photosynthesis lasts for 6 hours, after which you need to eat seaweed again.
2. Pay attention to hydration.
2. Stealing plastids.
Complete Transformation: Why can small-leaved sheep perform photosynthesis? Because when they eat seaweed, they can absorb the chlorophyll in the food and convert it into their bodies. This process is called "kleplastidization."
The leafy sea slug can also integrate the chlorophyll gene taken away from the seaweed into its body, so that itself and the next generation will have the chlorophyll gene.
Similarly, sea slugs can also devour and seize the poisonous stinging tentacles of hydroids as their own weapons, attacking the enemy at critical moments.
So, don’t just think that Little Leaf is cute and adorable, she is well-deserved to be included in the Handbook of Fierce Animals!
Bloodline Bonus [Take It!]: Plunder your enemies' special genetic abilities through Kleptoplastids. Your enemies' signature skills are no longer their unique abilities, because you can master them too! But don't be greedy. Unique skills are something you can only master once. Taking on more than one will overwhelm you and may even backfire on you!
Current level: (Intermediate 0/10000).
1. You must directly withstand the fatal blow from the person being seized in order to truly possess and understand the special attack ability of the person whose skills are being seized.
2. At the intermediate level, you can steal two enemy special abilities at the same time.
Note: If you only want to look similar and not look like the real person, you can barely use this skill to play cosplay. You can pretend to look like something you have seen before, but it is likely that you can only pretend.
3. Cut off the corners to survive.
Complete transformation: Sea slugs also have a special ability. When encountering danger, some sea slugs with tentacles on their heads will take the initiative to break off their horns, throw them away and then run away!
In fact, this is quite similar to the gecko breaking off its tail, except that they choose to throw away different parts.
But, whether it is cutting off the horns or the tail, it is fine as long as it is useful, right?
Bloodline Bonus Skill [Throw Your Treasure!]: As a human, you can't be asked to cut off your head to survive. Of course, cutting off your limbs isn't good either, so kind-hearted Little Leaf thought it would be wise to use treasures to replace your precious head and limbs. The more valuable the item, the more powerful it is in attracting enemies. Don't be stingy with money! Life is the most important thing!
Current Level: This skill cannot be upgraded.
The effectiveness of the skill fluctuates based on the energy value of the treasures thrown while running away. The more powerful and valuable the item, the more it will attract enemies. On the contrary, if you only throw a piece of broken wood, don't blame the enemies for howling and chasing you even more.
4. Invalid/negative characteristics: Ah, the little leaf does have a little weakness. The little leaf is delicate and soft and easily injured, so please don’t commit suicide casually. Although it can carry out photosynthesis to repair all injuries, it will still hurt when it is injured!
5. The special energy of this world is detected, and the [Completely Weird State] transformation is added.
Completely Strange Form: A state where the humanoid form and the original form of the beast are combined. Possesses all the abilities of [Complete Transformation] and [Bloodline Bonus], with the added bonus of Strange Form's physical qualities and abilities.
You are no longer a human being, but you have also become stronger! 】
When the sun shines completely on this land, there is an eighth beast companion in Wu Xiangwang's golden beast photo.
At this moment, an emerald green gem appeared before him, like the greenest leaf covered in dew. Abyss looked at his beloved, who looked like she was wearing a very lovely hat with layers of green leaves, and bent down slightly.
“The green leaves bathed in sunlight represent another kind of beauty of vitality and hope.”
"My beauty, I give you my life and my heart."
"Want to dance?"
The new soft beauty wearing a green hat, whose fingertips were tinged with a faint green, raised her eyebrows and placed her hand in the outstretched palm.
"Okay~"
