My Special Ability is Perfect Replication - Chapter 205
Chapter 205: Wanton Devouring, Mosasaur Monster
Soil and water bred life!
No matter how cruel the environment was, as long as it was suitable for the evolution of life, it would always give birth to lifeforms suitable for that environment.
The cold Antarctic ice.
The scorching underwater volcano.
Even the boiling Venus.
All of them had signs of life.
It was just as what that sentence had said—”Life will always find its way”.
Although the liquid ocean beneath the ice of Europa was dark and its water pressure was horrifying, it had given birth to many brilliant lifeforms.
The magical glowing plants before him was the source of light in Europa. Large patches of glowing plants formed a unique glowing forest, acting as the sun, and at the same time became a breeding hotbed for countless of life.
“Beautiful!”
Ling Jiu looked at the glowing mountain floating before him, his eyes showing an entranced look.
This floating mountain was like a moving city, full of countless glowing plants, dazzling and brilliant!
And among the luminous plants, strange fishes of various shapes shuttled back and forage, foraging within the forest.
Beautiful.
Magnificent.
Majestic.
“It’s so beautiful. I must bring Bai Ya here next time. She will love a beautiful place like this.”
Just as Ling Jiu murmured and sighed, he noticed a monster swimming out from the luminous mountain. It looked like a crocodile but was more than a hundred meters long.
Beneath its abdomen were not four legs like a crocodile but instead a dense array of tentacles, with each more than a hundred meters long. There was electric arc flashing on it, seemingly about to discharge electricity.
“What monster is this?”
Ling Jiu appeared before the monster with a Blink. The monster also noticed Ling Jiu immediately so it shot out an electric tentacle. The tentacle was like a giant python darting out of a cage and lashed out like lightning. The monster had clearly taken Ling Jiu for prey and wanted to kill him there and then.
“Heh!”
Ling Jiu shook his head and smiled, grabbing the tentacle just as it was lashing it him. He wanted to try out this monster’s electric discharge ability.
*Crackle!*
Sure enough, the moment Ling Jiu grabbed the tentacle, a violent wave of current shot out from the tentacles and brutally lashed at Ling Jiu.
*WOOOSHHH!!*
Ling Jiu’s hair suddenly stood up straight. His head looked like a broomstick as a dazzling electric arc erupted from his body, as if he had instantly transformed into a Super Saiyan.
“Huhhh~~~”
Ling Jiu breathed out a wisp of black smoke as he shook his head at the monster. “The power is OK, but sadly for you… it’s useless against me!”
Immediately afterwards, Ling Jiu checked this monster’s Arcana.
Name: None
Species: Electrocutor Crocodile Eel.
Arcana: Discharge (Awakened, Plunderable)
“I’ve haven’t gotten around using the Plunder Arcana after awakening it. How about I give it a try?”
As he thought of that, Ling Jiu gave the other to plunder.
*WOOOSHHH!!*
Few lines of black letters flew out, transforming into a black light veil to wrap around the Electrocutor Crocodile Eel before him. A moment later, the black light returned to Ling Jiu.
Plunder successful, assimilate?
“Assimilate!”
*BAAAMMM!!*
As Ling Jiu ordered, a rather violent energy surged into his body as it continuously transformed his body.
At the same time.
A wave of pain that got progressively biting hit Ling Jiu’s body, causing him to feel extreme pain. Fortunately, the pain of this severity was something Ling Jiu could bear.
After a long while, the pain had completely receded. Ling Jiu spread out his palm and an electric current appeared there as it constantly crackled, just like Chidori in Kakashi’s hands.
Looking at this Electrocutor Crocodile Eel again, the endless electrical arcs surging on its tentacles had disappeared, and the tentacles held by Ling Jiu also no longer discharged electricity.
It was clear that it had lost its ability to discharge electricity forever.
“Poor thing!”
Ling Jiu shook his hand and with a powerful tug, pulled the Electrocutor Crocodile Eel over, and then opened his mouth as he swallowed it directly into his Inner World.
“Next!”
Ling Jiu entered the luminous forest and found that the luminous plants were very tall when he got close.
They were standing over tens of meters tall, and the long ones were like sheep’s intestines, swaying slightly along the waves. The shorter ones were at least a meter or two tall, like fluffy shrubs.
“What a magical place!”
Ling Jiu sighed and followed the instructions on the detector to find the second monster.
It was another Electrocutor Crocodile Eel that was swimming in the forest. The moment it saw Ling Jiu, it attacked but ended up inside Ling Jiu’s stomach.
“Next!”
Ling Jiu continued to search, and soon found the third monster.
This was a very familiar monster. Standing over 200 meters tall, with a double-fin shark-like head and thick carapace over it and a trident-like tail…
Monster… the Slattern!
Just like when he fought Pioneer Mosalz back on Io, the Slattern the last monster it enslaved, and was also its strongest monster.
This Slattern was obviously much larger, stronger and powerful than the one before, as the evil aura it exuded was even more terrifying.
Yet, it did not attack after spotting Ling Jiu, and instead swung its long tail to leave, seemingly looking down upon Ling Jiu as a prey.
Ling Jiu was just too small.
“Bloody hell! I got looked down on by a monster!”
Ling Jiu was a little unhappy. He Blinked to the back of the Slattern. An electrical current surged in his hand as he slammed it onto the Slattern’s back.
Powered by the Dark Bio-energy, Ling Jiu’s Electricity Manipulation Arcana was much stronger than the Electrocutor Crocodile Eel.
The Slattern trembled violently like chaff on a sieve, as if it were high on drugs.
“The Devourer!”
Ling Jiu devoured it and sent the Slattern into his Inner World.
“Next!”
Ling Jiu continued to search.
Unexpectedly, he did not go too far before the floating mountain suddenly shook violently. The next moment, the mountain suddenly exploded as another Slattern rushed out.
It was not over yet. After the appearance of the first Slattern, others came out one after another, and in a blink of an eye, 20 Slatterns had appeared.
The amazing this was, all of them swam towards Ling Jiu and surrounded him at once.
This stunned Ling Jiu. All of the Slatterns were over 180 meters tall, each of them a giant monster, plus that horrifying number…
In terms of battle alone.
This was indeed really scary.
“Are they trying to surround me?”
Ling Jiu raised his eyebrows. “Could it be that this is the Slatterns’ nest?”
*ROAR!!!*
Just as Ling Jiu was ridiculing them, the first Slattern charged over.
It swung its long-barbed tail like a flanged mace at Ling Jiu. If hit, even a Ninth-Order Beast Emperor would recoil.
Yet, this was useless against Ling Jiu as he Blinked to avoid the attack, and the appeared-on top of the Slattern as he opened his mouth.
*WOOOSHHH!!*
The Slattern was swallowed into his stomach.
“Buurrpp–”
Ling Jiu burped and looked at the other Slatterns. They were either rammed at him with their head or lashing at him with their tails aggressively.
“Since all of you are serving yourself up, then I’ll spare the pleasantries.”
Ling Jiu laughed as he Blinked to avoid the attacks and quietly appeared before a Slattern and activated the Devourer, swallowing it into his abdomen in one mouth.
Then came the second, the third…
Before Ling Jiu with his Blink and Dimension Arcana, numbers were meaningless. No matter how violent they were, how sharp their attacks were… it was all useless!
Ling Jiu swallowed them one by one, and in barely two minutes, he had sent all of the Slatterns into his Inner World.
*BAAAMMM!!*
The terrifying amount of Slatterns were in the end reduced to raging life force that surged into Ling Jiu’s body, strengthening his body, and nourishing his cells…
By the time all of the life energies were absorbed, Ling Jiu felt that his body had improved a lot.
And it was a real significant increase!
“I wonder if my body now could compare with a Tenth-Order Direbeast?”
Tenth-Order
Level 10.
This was a brand-new area.
9527 referred to life about Level 10 (including Level 10) as a stellar lifeform, while lifeforms below Level 10 as planetary lifeforms.
After assimilating the Ultimate Physique, Ling Jiu’s body was comparable to most Ninth-Order Direbeasts, and now that he had absorbed so much life energy and magma, his body must be even more powerful now. However, he had no idea how it compared to a Level 10 being.
“Forget it, let’s continue hunting.”
Ling Jiu followed the instructions on the life sign detector and left the floating mountain. As he traveled along, he finally arrived at another floating mountain.
While it was a floating mountain in words, it was more like a floating valley. The valley itself was large, as if cleaved open by a knife, spanning several kilometers wide and dozens of kilometers long.
Countless luminous plants grew above the valley, but as it continued to deepen, it gradually dimmed, and it was pitch black at the bottom of the valley.
“The life sign detector shows that there’s a monster hidden in this valley.”
Ling Jiu continued to go in deeper and finally reached the bottom of the valley. It was so dark that one could not see his own fingers. Fortunately, Ling Jiu had excellent night vision, and that allowed him to barely see his surroundings.
There was a dark cave at the bottom of the valley that was on a straight mountain wall, making it impossible to see its interior.
“What the hell is living inside that cave? Such a terrifying aura!”
Ling Jiu could clearly feel the terrifying aura coming from the cave. It gave him fear and goosebumps. There must be an extremely terrifying monster inhabiting here.
“Huhhh~~~”
At this moment, a turbulent wave rushed out from the cave, blowing the slit at the bottom of the cave far away. At the same time, a loud noise rang out from the cave.
Ling Jiu knew that it was a snoring sound. The big guy in the cave was sleeping.
“You dare to sleep at this moment!”
Ling Jiu grumbled and then plunged into the cave. He then saw a behemoth more than 200 meters long.
Its entire body was covered in bright silver carapce with bone spurs more than ten meters long on its back like rows of sharp spears.
Under its abdomen were six sturdy legs on both left and right sides, looking like twelve stone pillars supporting its bloated and powerful body.
It looked like a monitor lizard or a crocodile, but Ling Jiu preferred to describe it as a Mosasaur as it does resemble one, with the only difference being the row of bone spurs and its twelve legs.
“This aura… it’s comparable to a Tenth-Order Direbeast right?”
Ling Jiu quietly crept up to the monster as he opened his mouth and prepared to swallow it.
Unexpectedly, at this very moment, the Mosasaur’s eyes suddenly opened. It then opened its mouth and let out a terrifying roar.
*RAAAAWWRRRR—*
The rolling sound waves thundered, stirring the surrounding sea water as it formed into circles of violent shock waves that spread in all directions.
Ling Jiu was stunned and dazed as he was sent flying by the violent shock waves.
Yet the Mosasaur monster did not let him go as the twelve long legs beneath its body stomped the ground and slammed at Ling Jiu like an intercontinental ballistic missile.
*BAAAMMM!!*
