Master of Monster Synthesis-Chapter 268 - 179: Three Heads, How Terrifying (Two in One)_2
Chapter 268: Chapter 179: Three Heads, How Terrifying (Two in One)_2
"Pangolin" swallowed several Space Wristwatches in one gulp, turned around, and left.
In mid-air, the Shangfu Bird remained oblivious to any anomaly, its gaze fixated on the direction of the waist belt, growing increasingly restless.
Suddenly, it noticed that the purple light in the eyes of the "monster" below had dimmed slightly. Seizing the opportunity, it flapped its six wings without hesitation, breaking past the Eye Q Monster’s defenses and diving toward the waist belt’s location.
"Cluck cluck cluck!!"
The Shangfu Bird let out a triumphant cry, about to snatch the belt hanging from the treetop.
Just then, several figures burst from the ground, and multiple Space Gates appeared around the Shangfu Bird.
"Roar!!"
"Aaaarg...!"
"Hsssss...!"
The greedy snake, Godzilla, Seven-Colored Swallowing Sky Python, Fire Qilin, and other Synthetic Monsters emerged from the Space Gates, releasing torrents of energy in various hues.
"Cluck cluck cluck!!"
The Shangfu Bird immediately sensed danger, squawking in alarm as it flapped its chicken wings furiously, dodging the incoming Energy Attacks with astonishing agility.
"Boom...!"
Missing their target, multiple energy blasts collided, flooding a swathe of towering trees in violent chaos.
Taking advantage of the explosive shockwave, the Shangfu Bird soared upward and fled into the distance.
"Damn, that reaction speed is insane."
Qin Shou cursed, retrieving his Beast Cultivation companions and summoning the Emperor Battle Dragon to chase after the Shangfu Bird.
...
High in the skies.
"Cluck cluck cluck..."
The Shangfu Bird flapped its six wings at incredible speed, two of its heads glancing back. Spotting a steel "long snake" pursuing it, a hint of hesitation flickered in its eyes, but it quickly abandoned that notion.
The snake might be delicious, but survival was far more important.
After all, those terrifying three-headed Monsters that had just appeared were hard to forget.
Several kilometers away, Qin Shou rode the Emperor Battle Dragon, which occasionally fired golden Energy Cannons from its mouth—but the Shangfu Bird effortlessly evaded them.
Witnessing this, Qin Shou grew even more excited.
If the greedy snake had this kind of reflex speed, its future prowess might surpass even that of the real Godzilla.
This one couldn’t be let go!
Activating the Instant Acceleration Device, the Emperor Battle Dragon let out an earth-shattering roar. Its rear leg-mounted acceleration engines flared with intense Golden Light, dramatically boosting its speed.
Within mere seconds, the gap between the two shrank by over a thousand meters.
Yet, as soon as the engine’s time limit was reached, their distance began widening once again.
"Cluck cluck cluck..."
The Shangfu Bird, initially alarmed, now saw Qin Shou failing to catch up. It let out peculiar chicken screams, as if taunting him.
Qin Shou gritted his teeth, "Trash! Let’s see how long you can keep flying!"
As long as it had Energy, the Emperor Battle Dragon could keep flying indefinitely. No way meat beats metal!

In the Earth’s Core World, where there is no distinction between day and night, Qin Shou had long since lost track of time. He continued circling with the Shangfu Bird.
At one point, he napped on the Emperor Battle Dragon’s back, ate some Nian Beast Meat, applied Gold Devouring Potion, drank Year Beast Potion, and then meditated.
During this trek, Qin Shou replenished the Emperor Battle Dragon with Earth Core Energy Crystals multiple times, yet the Shangfu Bird showed no signs of tiring as it flew relentlessly ahead.
Qin Shou was unhurried—time was on his side.
Hmm, he mused about installing a shield on the Emperor Battle Dragon’s back; the wind was a bit drafty while sleeping.
Over time, the Shangfu Bird’s speed began to wane, and it stopped mocking Qin Shou with its chicken cries.
"Cluck cluck cluck..."
Its wing flaps became feeble, and it opened its beak with a pleading squawk.
Qin Shou rubbed his eyes, stretched lazily, changed out of his pajamas, and took a sip of hot milk tea.
"Ah, if you’d known this earlier, why put yourself through all that?"
Shaking his head, he activated the Instant Acceleration Device, catapulting the Emperor Battle Dragon forward to close in on the Shangfu Bird.
"Cluck cluck cluck..."
Before Qin Shou launched an attack, the Shangfu Bird let out a final wail and suddenly nosedived from the sky.
"Whoosh... Boom!"
The Shangfu Bird’s massive body crashed into the forest below, snapping several towering trees in its descent and creating a hundred-meter-wide crater on the ground.
In the crater, the Shangfu Bird foamed at the mouth, its body convulsing, six eyes filled with despair.
Too tired to go on. Do whatever you want...
Qin Shou landed beside the massive pit, gazing at the Shangfu Bird’s sorry state with a lament for nature’s harshness.
All this effort just for a bite to eat—nearly died in the process.
It wasn’t easy!
"Forget it, you really look pitiful, I’ll just—"
Before he finished, the Shangfu Bird’s body abruptly stopped twitching, and the system announcement rang in his ears.
"Ding, you have slain the Shangfu Bird."
Qin Shou: "..."
It actually died from exhaustion...
An unexpected ending.
Qin Shou shook his head, "Such a shame."
Shortly after, he summoned several Monkey Avatars.
"Bro Monkeys, prepare the pot and get the fire going."
"Got it!"
The Monkey Avatars hoisted the gigantic Shangfu Bird and began plucking its feathers.
Meanwhile, Qin Shou’s attention turned to the cracked tree trunks left behind by the bird’s impact.
The fractured trunks resembled a peculiar kind of tree; their bark was streaked red, and their broken ends leaked a lacquer-like sap, giving them an unusual appearance.
Taking a look at the Shangfu Bird, an idea struck Qin Shou. He dipped his fingers into the sap and tasted it. Sweet.
This was White Gao!
The Classic of Mountains and Seas describes Lunzhe Mountain: laden with metals and jewels above, abundant with green ores beneath.
A certain tree grows here, resembling millet with red stripes. Its sap is like lacquer, its taste like candy. Those who consume it neither hunger nor tire, known as White Gao, capable of strengthening blood jade.
No hunger...
Qin Shou shook his head; this was akin to a fasting pill—not his style.
If you don’t feel hunger, eating loses its joy.
That would be worse than death.
Qin Shou scanned the forest, realizing that apart from the enormous White Gao, the area was otherwise an ordinary woodland.
Meaning this wasn’t Lunzhe Mountain.
And despite all the commotion from chasing the Shangfu Bird, he hadn’t encountered any fearsome beasts like Taotie Feiyi described in ancient texts.
It seemed unlikely this was the world described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas...
Shrugging off these thoughts, Qin Shou joined the Monkey Avatars in their "chicken preparation" mission.
...
On the rack, a massive chicken wing-tip turned above golden flames.
"Crackle... Pop..."
The fire licked upwards, releasing an increasingly rich aroma as golden oil dripped from the wing-tip.
Applying a final layer of the Qin Family’s secret seasoning, Qin Shou smiled with satisfaction.
New Year’s chicken—great fortune for all!
"Hoo hoo..."
Blowing on it casually, Qin Shou eagerly began devouring the wing-tip.
Despite being just the tip of a wing, the Shangfu Bird’s colossal size meant that even a small portion equaled the size of a cow’s thigh.
With one bite, Qin Shou’s taste buds sprang to life.
It wasn’t just delicious—he felt an unusual surge of energy coursing through his body.
The energy flushed away any lingering fatigue, and as time passed, he felt invigorated, brimming with seemingly endless strength.
At that moment, Qin Shou wanted to shout to the heavens and find someone to battle, releasing his boundless vitality.
Just one bite felt like consuming a Great Replenishing Pill.
If he ate the whole bird...
A sly smile crept onto Qin Shou’s face.
Finishing the entire thing? He’d be unstoppable.
Break the heavens, perhaps?
But there was one problem—this dish was useless for a single man.
Staring at the enormous wing-tip, Qin Shou was tempted to throw it away in anger.
But it was too precious—he couldn’t waste it.
Forget overthinking. Just eat and enjoy.
As the second bite went in, Qin Shou quickly noticed something peculiar.
The feeling of strength didn’t increase, but his body’s absorption of Star Power sped up slightly.
Aside from its invigorating effects, the Shangfu Bird’s meat shared striking similarities with Nian Beast Meat.
Both came from this Earth’s Core World.
Could it be that all Mutant Beast meat here aids body transformation?
Upon realizing this, Qin Shou paused to reflect on the fate of the creatures here.
Someone else was bound to discover the meat’s potential.
If there aren’t terrifying Monsters protecting the region, these beasts would inevitably become livestock for humans.
No doubt about it.
Born human... Qin Shou couldn’t deny his excitement.
Whoever opened the Space Gate to this place must have been a saint!
After eating his fill, Qin Shou rose and ventured deeper into the forest for a leisurely stroll.
"Boom..."
Suddenly, the roaring sounds of Mechas echoed above, and a dozen of them landed heavily in the forest ahead.
Among the dozen Mechas, Qin Shou caught sight of one with an unusually distinct design.
Mobile Seven!
So it was this guy—it was time to collect the debt for that Mecha purchase last time.
