Master of Monster Synthesis-Chapter 264 - 177: Seven-colored Swallowing Sky, Seriously Injuring Nightmare Level_2

Chapter 264: Chapter 177: Seven-colored Swallowing Sky, Seriously Injuring Nightmare Level_2

These are all monster rations!

As the number of Synthetic Monsters increases, the cost of feeding them every day is no small amount.

Hmm, if I had to describe it, these monsters eat the equivalent of "dozens of houses" every day.

Just thinking about it makes his heart ache.

No matter how wealthy you are, you have to live thriftily!

But just now, the anomaly of the Seven-colored Giant Python made him realize that the monster battle might have drawn in something unimaginable.

It’s too late to scavenge bodies now.

He slammed the Reynard Transformation Card into his body, entered stealth mode, and quickly left the battlefield.

"Pfft..."

Not far away, a giant python corpse suddenly "deflated" like a leaking balloon, rapidly shriveling into a husk.

Immediately after, more and more giant python corpses withered into husks, sending a chill down Qin Shou’s spine as he sprinted away.

"What the hell...?"

Qin Shou grimaced and carefully drifted further from the battlefield.

"Crack..."

Suddenly, a blood-red hole burst open in a giant python’s carcass, revealing a massive blood-red tree branch.

Qin Shou was startled—this is...

He remembered that before coming here, Yu Shusheng had solemnly warned him about a Nightmare-level plant monster in the Seven-colored Forest. Although it had been gravely injured by an Unbreakable Realm expert sent by the Federation, it was still only wounded and could reappear at any time.

Was it this Nightmare-level plant monster that scared off the Seven-colored Giant Python?

Most likely!

Thinking of this, Qin Shou became even more cautious, fearing he might draw the monster’s attention.

Luckily, his so-called "Death God Physique" didn’t cause trouble. Thanks to the tempting corpses of the Seven-colored Giant Pythons, Qin Shou safely distanced himself from the battlefield.

Exiting stealth mode, Qin Shou let out a long-held breath.

Plant monsters are usually a pain to deal with, let alone a Nightmare-level one.

Taking a moment to rest, Qin Shou opened his communicator and realized that he’d unknowingly reached the edge of the Seven-colored Forest.

Beyond the Seven-colored Forest lay an ordinary green forest. Yu Shusheng didn’t have much information on that area, either.

Kazek was surveying the skies, relaying footage to the communicator. Qin Shou activated his War Armor Flying Device and began flying low to the ground.

In no time, amidst the overwhelming seven-colored haze, he spotted expansive green woodlands in the distance.

Green is definitely better!

All those flashy colors were giving him a headache.

Qin Shou grinned and accelerated.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

As soon as he reached the edge of the green forest, treetops began shaking violently. Out of the dense woods, several mechas suddenly burst forth, crashing through nearby trees as they charged toward Qin Shou.

The mechas sparked intermittently, their armor scorched and riddled with scratches, their flight systems broken—leaving them to rely on raw sprinting power.

Moments later, a deafening buzz followed as countless insect beasts swarmed out of the forest behind the mechas, forming a black cloud that chased relentlessly after them.

Qin Shou rubbed his chin, raised his communicator, and began recording data on the black insect beasts as if oblivious to the approaching mechas.

"Thud, thud..."

As the mechas sprinted closer, the pallid-faced pilots inside the cockpits brightened visibly the moment they saw Qin Shou.

"It’s West City Qin Shou!"

As last year’s champion of Dragon Island, Qin Shou was fairly well-known within the Federation Academy.

"Yes, it’s him!"

"I heard he tamed a swarm of Gold-eating Insects; he can definitely save us."

"We’re saved."

"Qin Shou, help!!"

"Qin Shou, please save us!"

Cries for help blared from the cockpits, surprising Qin Shou as he continued documenting insect beast data.

"Do they know me?"

With a smile, he casually waved at them before resuming his data recording.

Too much fame, too many fans—such a hassle!

Pilots: "..."

"What does the wave mean?"

"Probably means he’s agreeing to help us!"

"But he doesn’t look like he’s planning to take action."

"It doesn’t matter, let’s approach him first."

"Alright..."

As the mechas dashed toward Qin Shou, a Space Gate materialized beside him. Countless Gold-eating Insects surged out like a tidal wave, sweeping past the mechas and colliding with the black insect swarm.

"Pop, pop, pop..."

Black and gold clouds clashed violently, with the ceaseless screeching of insects mingling like the crackling of roasting beans.

In less than a minute, the black insect beasts began dropping to the ground while the Gold-eating Insects steadily gained the upper hand.

The pilots stood motionless beside Qin Shou, their faces filled with disbelief.

"As expected of the West City Light and a student of the Beast Cultivation Main City."

"Yeah, he effortlessly stopped the Black Striped Bees—not something people like us could ever hope to achieve."

The pilots stepped out of their cockpits and thanked Qin Shou, who simply waved them off, his face calm as he continued recording insect beast data.

"No need to thank me. Just leave; I still have work to do."

The more detailed the records, the better.

As for these people? Obviously broke. He didn’t even have the slightest interest in freeloading off them.

Hah, he missed the good old days.

The group exchanged uneasy glances at Qin Shou’s aloofness.

"Uh, Qin Shou, this area is far more dangerous than we anticipated. Could you escort us to the nearest exit...?"

"Qin Shou, rest assured, once we’re safe, we’ll make a banner for you..."

Before the man could finish, Qin Shou abruptly turned and gave them a peculiar look.

Are these people stupid?

Or do they think I’m stupid?

A banner?

Who the hell wants that?

Broke and stingy.

And topped off with wishful thinking.

"Sorry, I still have work to do—gotta go."

Seeing the black insect beasts get crushed by the Gold-eating Insects, Qin Shou waved dismissively and prepared to leave.

"Wait, Qin Shou! We’re all classmates—you can’t just abandon us."

"Yeah, if you don’t help us, we’ll... we’ll spread the word that you left us to die. Your reputation will be ruined."

"That’s right! You wouldn’t want a scandal, or to face punishment from the Beast Cultivation Main City, would you?"

Their shifting attitudes astounded Qin Shou, leaving him marveling at the abundance of fools in the world.

Sigh, this is going to get mocked for lowering the IQ standard.

"Aren’t you afraid I’ll just silence you?" Qin Shou reflexively asked.

Damn, why am I even talking to them?

Are you nuts?!

He cursed inwardly.

The pilots’ faces paled, and they instinctively stepped back a few paces.

"W-We’re not scared! If you dare make a move, we’ll upload the footage of this instantly."

"That’s right, if that video goes public, no one—not even the Beast Cultivation Main City—will be able to protect you!"

Their bravado cracked under pressure, but they still put up a front.

Qin Shou sighed dramatically and spread his hands.

"Fine, you win. I admit defeat."

Seeing him relent, the group was overwhelmed by a bizarre sense of satisfaction.

You’re just someone who came from the bottom of society—why do you deserve to surpass us?

Luck!

It’s all just dumb luck.

So what if you’re a student of the Beast Cultivation Main City?

So what if you’re better than us?

So what if you’re Dragon Island’s champion?

A bit of manipulation and you still have to work obediently for us.

That video will come in handy—for more leverage later.

That’s human nature—envy fuels jealousy, jealousy leads to irrationality, and irrationality leads to...

So, malice took root.

The moment they thought they’d gained the upper hand, they let all the nastiness in their hearts spill out.

Just as they were basking in triumph, Qin Shou started backing away slowly.

"What are you doing?" one shouted.

Qin Shou gestured behind them with his chin. "Oh, nothing. But if danger shows up, we’re all on our own—Federation law doesn’t cover that."

Realizing this, the pilots spun around and tried to leap away.

"Squish, squish..."

Suddenly, several blood-red tree branches burst out of the ground, their razor-sharp tips piercing through their battle armor with ease.

Their bodies withered rapidly, their eyes filled with unwillingness.

No, we’re not just disposable extras...

"Crack, crack..."

The next moment, the blood-red branches drained them dry before discarding the husks and retreating back into the earth.

Still cloaked in stealth, Qin Shou didn’t dare let his guard down for a second.

"Pfft..."

After a brief calm, dirt exploded across an area spanning several dozen meters. Countless blood-red branches shot out in blurring flashes.

Here it comes!

Qin Shou knew full well that a Second-level Invisibility Device wouldn’t fool a Nightmare-level monster.

"Time to bolt!"

Shouting, Qin Shou instantly regained his full form as a burgundy battle armor covered his upper body and fiery lights ignited beneath his feet.

Full throttle!

Knight Kick!

"Boom..."

With the momentary acceleration of the Knight Kick, Qin Shou’s figure transformed into a meteor, narrowly evading the onslaught of blood-red branches. He smashed into the green forest hundreds of meters away, unleashing a wave of explosive fire.

As the fiery shockwave rippled outward, Qin Shou’s silhouette had already vanished into the massive crater.
