Chapter 266: Chapter 178 Classic of Mountains and Seas Recipes (Two in One)_2
"Roar!"
Godzilla’s spine surged with a dazzling blue radiance as its Atomic Breath fired fiercely.
"Hiss!"
Scylla’s octopus-like mouth twitched slightly, releasing Extreme Cold Energy.
Dozens of Monkey Avatars exchanged glances, their eyes emitting crimson rays that merged into golden beams.
"Buzz!!"
In an instant, the diameter of the golden ray surged to twenty meters, swiftly pushing back the Earth’s Core Energy beam.
"Boom..."
Suddenly, the golden, crimson, and dazzling blue lights exploded ferociously, several Escape Pods trailing black smoke vanished rapidly into the horizon thanks to the terrifying thrust of the blast.
Qin Shou’s expression remained unchanged as he stored several Beast Cultivations into the System Space. Beneath his feet, the Emperor Battle Dragon roared forward.
"Roar..."
The dragon’s roar erupted suddenly, the Emperor Battle Dragon transformed into a golden meteor and vanished instantly.
...
The calm, mirror-like lake reflected birds and beasts flying across the sky. Several disheveled individuals arrived at the lakeshore, washing their ash-black faces.
"Damn it, that kid’s strength is terrifying."
The short-haired man, over thirty years old, furiously slapped the water surface, his face utterly grim.
Beside him, a middle-aged man shook his head helplessly.
"That’s Qin Shou from the Beast Cultivation Main City. I’ve heard he’s already advanced to Year Two. His strength is only Vajra Five-star, yet he can... sigh..."
"Sigh, we took a heavy blow this time. Who could’ve guessed the students from Beast Cultivation Main City could be so terrifying? A Vajra Five-star defeating us Vajra Eighth Star Mechanical Masters..."
"Yeah, our Chasing Wind Team suffered immense losses this time. How many Year Beasts will we need to hunt to recover?"
The middle-aged men shook their heads and lamented, as if facing a nightmarish mid-life crisis, aging several years in an instant.
The older man waved dismissively, rallying his spirits: "Enough talk. Battle Armor can be bought again, but we only have one life. Rest a bit, then get out of here quickly; that kid might come after us."
"You’re right, let’s go, now."
They agreed, hurriedly splashing water on their faces, then prepared to leave.
"Gurgle..."
Suddenly, the tranquil lake’s water rippled, then erupted into splashes. Dense swarms of Fish Beasts leapt from the water, stretching wings like flying birds, and emitted calls similar to Mandarin Ducks as they swooped toward the group.
"Not good, these Bird Beasts..."
"Run quick!"
"Go!"
Their faces turned pale, and they hastily unleashed Star Power, fleeing in the opposite direction.
While their strength was sufficient to slay the flying Fish Beasts, doing so would certainly consume time, and if that kid arrived, they would be in real danger.
"Chirp chirp chirp..."
They had barely escaped a hundred meters when the flying Fish Beasts were already upon them.
"Splash splash..."
The Fish Beasts opened their mouths wide, and torrents of water descended from the skies, forming massive waves that engulfed the group.
"Spurt..."
The short-haired man burst upwards through the water, spitting out a mouthful of water, his face pale as a sheet.
"Damn it! These beasts are small, but why can they spit so much water?"
Spit...
Low damage, but highly insulting...
"Shut up and get moving!"
They activated their Battle Armor, unleashed Star Power, and flew skyward, only to be smashed back into the lake by another colossal wave.
"Damn it! Is this never going to end...?"
...
Not far away, Qin Shou halted abruptly upon noticing the giant waves in the sky.
These waves felt unusual.
He raised his binoculars to observe. Around the waves gathered a massive swarm of Fish-bodied Bird-winged Mutant Beasts, causing his eyebrows to raise.
These weren’t man-made Beast Cultivations, but rather naturally occurring Mutant Beasts...
Mutant Beasts with appearances this peculiar—unless intentionally cultivated—don’t usually grow this way.
Fish bodies, bird wings.
Qin Shou’s mind flashed to the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
Gui Mountain, where Meng Water flows south into Yang Water, teeming with Yellow Shells and Luo Yu—fish bodies with bird wings, sound resembling Mandarin Duck calls, which herald great floods in their presence.
Luo Yu—bearing a fish’s body and bird’s wings, emitting cries akin to Mandarin Ducks, causing catastrophic floods where they appear.
Luo Yu... This matches their appearance, and even their calls fit.
And then their ability to stir up massive waves, instigating floods.
Could it truly be them?
Qin Shou shook his head. The Classic of Mountains and Seas was just a cookbook and couldn’t be taken seriously. It was probably coincidence.
Those few people struggled desperately in the waves, and each time they managed to escape, another new wave dragged them back.
Qin Shou wasn’t in a hurry; once those flying fish were worn out, he could take his revenge easily.
Letting his mind wander, he stopped midway up the mountainside to prepare some popcorn...
"Howl... Woof!"
Just as he landed, three towering twenty-meter monstrosities resembling bulls but covered in porcupine-like fur charged out from the dense forest. Their fangs bared as they surged toward Qin Shou with wild ferocity.
The savage aura rushed upon him, making Qin Shou’s heart pound.
Gui Mountain, atop which there dwells a beast resembling a bull with porcupine fur, called Qiongqi, whose cries resemble dog howls, and which consumes humans.
Gui Mountain boasts a wild beast resembling an ordinary bull but adorned with porcupine-like fur—called Qiongqi—that sounds like a barking dog and feeds on humans.
Some versions of the Classic of Mountains and Seas depict Qiongqi looking like this, rather than a gigantic winged hatchet beast.
"Damn, this isn’t even Gui Mountain. Could it actually be the Mutant Beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas?"
Qin Shou’s cheek twitched. Mutant Beasts weren’t mere Monsters; why grow this big?
Before he could contemplate further, the three Qiongqi bellowed fiercely, their movements scattering dirt while blasting fierce winds as they barreled toward Qin Shou.
"Buzz!"
The Space Gate opened wide as the greedy snake, Godzilla, and Fire Qilin leapt forth, colliding head-on with the three Qiongqi.
Qin Shou was curious to witness the true capabilities of these massive beasts.
But shockingly, within mere moments, the greedy snake, Godzilla, and Fire Qilin were struck and sent flying backward, crashing toward Qin Shou.
"Boom..."
Leaping swiftly into the air, Qin Shou dodged as the three Synthetic Monsters smashed into each other, displacing earth to form a pit.
The greedy snake: "..."
Godzilla: "..."
Fire Qilin: "..."
The three monsters exchanged bewildered looks.
What’s going on?
"Howl! Woof!"
The three Qiongqi shook off their dizziness, then charged once more.
"Roar!"
"Shriek..."
The greedy snake rose and roared, its three dragon heads firing devastating Energy Beams, Godzilla launched its Atomic Breath, and the Fire Qilin transformed into a fireball to collide with the incoming Qiongqi.
"Boom!!!"
The ensuing explosions unleashed shockwaves across the area. freewёbnoνel-com
The three Qiongqi, snarling ferociously, bulged with rippling muscles and endured the onslaught of Energy Beams as they steadily advanced toward the greedy snake and its allies.
Qin Shou raised a brow. So resilient?
With a wave, the Space Gate opened again.
Scylla, Behemoth, Monkey Avatars, and the Seven-Colored Swallowing Sky Python roared forth, rushing toward the three Qiongqi.
If one-on-one doesn’t work, let’s gang up!
"Howl! Woof!"
As more Synthetic Monsters entered the fray, the three Qiongqi were knocked far back, toppling several towering trees and being buried beneath the massive trunks.
"Bang!!"
Soon after, the splintered tree trunks erupted as the three Qiongqi emerged almost unscathed, their ferocity undiminished, snarling as they lunged once more.
The greedy snake and other monsters wouldn’t back down, firing various Energy Beams and relentlessly bombing the Qiongqi trio.
"Rumble rumble..."
In an instant, shattered stones flew through the air. Dense waves of towering trees shattered into splinters as raging flames engulfed the mountainside, seemingly flattening the entire mountain.
"Howl..."
"Woof woof..."
From high above, Qin Shou could still hear the Qiongqi’s robust roars, furrowing his brow.
Though lacking special skills, their immense strength and unrivaled defense made them indestructible.
Fortunately, he hadn’t flashed a smug "cool and invincible" face earlier, or he’d have nowhere to hide his embarrassment now.
Then again, his current situation wasn’t much better.
The Energy Shockwaves spread across the mountain as the Synthetic Monsters wrestled furiously against the three Qiongqi in a full-on brawl, their ferocious roars echoing through the skies.
One Monkey Avatar landed beside Qin Shou, scratching its ears in frustration and looking helpless.
"These monsters’ skin is too thick; no matter how we hit them, they won’t die. Maybe we should just leave them alone—they can’t fly. If we can’t beat them, we can avoid them."
Qin Shou stroked his chin, considering whether Hillbagon might manage to annihilate the three Qiongqi.
When suddenly, a thunderous energy roar erupted from the distant sky. Several battered Mechas came flying.
Trailing behind them was a three-headed giant bird. The bird conjured vicious hurricanes, tearing through the air as it approached.
"Cluck cluck cluck!!"
The giant bird screeched loudly, emitting a comically chicken-like cry disproportionate to its imposing form.
Qin Shou turned his gaze toward the three-headed giant bird, his eyes gleaming.
There exists a bird, its form like a chicken but possessing three heads, six eyes, six legs, and three wings, called Shangfu. Consuming it prevents sleep.
Preventing sleep means...
It’s edible!
