Chapter 78 – Partaking of the Taotie! (5.2k)
Linglong looked at the Taotie inscription that was gradually disappearing, and then glanced at Su Shallow, whose blood marks were constantly surfacing on her body.
Her mouth opened wide as if she had eaten a dead fly, the corners of her mouth twitching, her face twisting, her expression not to mention how ugly it was.
Linglong was completely unable to accept it.
If that Taotie Inscription’s Mystic Formation was also a chance and had ended up in the hands of that crazy person, Su Shanshan.
That would simply be worse than killing her!
As Linglong was thinking, three more figures suddenly appeared on the steps.
It was Zhao Yi, Zuo Xiao Luo and Little Poison.
The Taotie inscription on the right door was crippled and the maze was damaged, so the three of them easily broke the formation.
Linglong raised her eyes and looked at them.
Although it wasn’t the first time she had seen Zhao Yi, she still couldn’t help but fall for his handsomeness.
Whether it was the proportion of his body, the contour of his bones, or the lines of his muscles, all of them were as graceful as an exiled immortal in a painting.
Linglong still found it hard to believe that there was a man in the world who was as beautiful as this.
What is this going to do to the women in the world?
Zhao Yi’s gaze swept around the male trio and finally landed on Su Shanshan.
Looking at the strange blood-colored lines on Su Shanshan’s body, Zhao Yi pretended to study it for half a day, but in the end, he didn’t understand anything.
“Where did Miao Yin go?”
Zhao Yi finally remembered that there was still one person missing from the small team.
Miaoyin was known for her extensive knowledge of the world.
If she was here, she would definitely be able to recognize the origin of those tattoos on Su Shanshan’s body.
As for whether those tattoos could be Su Shanshan’s strange encounter?
Zhao Yi held a conservative view on this.
This Taotie Divine Hall had been revealing a bizarre aura since the stele at the entrance.
The gate of the shrine surprisingly required a blood sacrifice to open it, and there were pitiful mazes in the inscriptions after activation.
Which good person could do such a thing?
Thus, Zhao Yi didn’t believe that there would be any strange encounters in this hellish place at all.
When Zuo Xiaoluo heard Zhao Yi’s words, she replied, ”When I came over, I found that Miaoyin Makoto was trapped in a forbidden restriction, I was going to help her out, but she told me to come to you first. She hasn’t rushed over until now, she might still be trapped inside the forbidden system.”
Zhao Yi was a bit surprised, “So unlucky?”
This time, quite a few people came in, all of them were fine, only Miaoyin Zhenran was dropped inside the forbidden system.
This luck is no one else.
“Forget it, whatever!”
Zhao Yi looked at Su Shanshan and said to Little Poison, “Try to find out what’s her condition now.”
Zhao Yi and Su Shanshan were mortal enemies.
Regardless of whether the strange encounter was real or not, he wouldn’t allow Su Shanshan to get it.
This woman was not only stupid, but also selfish and vindictive.
If she was allowed to gain power, she wouldn’t be able to help but find trouble with Zhao Yi.
Although Zhao Yi didn’t care, but the lazy toad jumped on the foot surface, not biting people she was disgusting!
Zhao Yi felt that it was time to put an end to this woman once and for all!
Thinking of this, Zhao Yi swept a glance at the male lead next to her out of the corner of her eye.
The male lead collapsed on the ground, his face pale, his complexion weak to the extreme, barely able to open half of his eyes.
He stared blankly at the female lead hanging on the spikes, his eyes lost in thought, his face complex, not knowing what he was thinking.
Zhao Yi glanced at him before withdrawing his gaze.
Compared to Su Shanshan, Zhao Yi didn’t really have much of a deep grudge against the male lead.
The male lead hadn’t really done anything to apologize to Zhao Yi.
On the contrary, Zhao Yi had screwed him over a few times!
Hearing Zhao Yi’s words, the little poisonous creature nodded and pulled out the small green snake from his pocket, carefully placing it on the ground.
The little green snake still remembered the odor of Su Shallow’s body.
As soon as it landed on the ground, it bared its teeth and kept spitting its snake letters at Su Shanshan.
The remaining poison on Su Shanshan’s body had already been drained away with the poisonous blood.
Her eyesight and size all returned to normal.
Except for the darkening of her skin tone, her body was covered with horrifying blood-colored veins.
Su Shallow looked similar to her normal condition before.
Seeing the little green snake spitting its letters towards her, Su Shallow’s body violently shrank.
Zhao Yi was surprised at the side.
Su Shanshan’s pupils unexpectedly changed at this moment.
From the original brownish-yellow round pupils, they turned into blood-red vertical pupils!
Su Shanshan glared at the little green snake with a pair of blood-red vertical pupils, and the little green snake immediately looked like it was greatly frightened and fled into the stele forest in a panic, even though the little venomous creature was desperately trying to appease it behind its back, it was useless!
Little Poisonous Creature looked grave: ”Master, there’s something wrong with this woman. Little Green was frightened by her glare, and her snake’s guts are almost broken!”
Without her saying it, Zhao Yi also realized that something was wrong.
Su Shallow could no longer be considered a human at this point.
After the last stroke of the Taotie inscription on the right door panel disappeared, as if completing some sort of ritual, all the blood-red veins on Su Shanshan’s body simultaneously began to emit a piercing blood-red light.
Su Shallow had actually regained a trace of sanity at this point.
As she looked at Zhao Yi, she couldn’t help but freeze for a moment, obviously not expecting the Zhao Yi of today to become so good looking.
Perhaps it was the instincts of the creature that made her anticipate the unknowable dangers she was about to encounter, and for the first time, Su Shanshan didn’t use a condescending tone of voice to speak to Zhao Yi.
She looked at Zhao Yi, her tone was kind, her eyes gentle, and she said kindly, “Zhao Yi, I know you love me right?”
Zhao Yi: “……”
Su Shanshan didn’t wait for him to speak, looking down at the spikes that pierced through his limbs, she said to Zhao Yi, “This is called the Lover’s Lock, and can only be unlocked by the blood of the person you love dearly!”
After Su Shanshan finished speaking, she looked at Zhao Yi with an expectant face, “Zhao Yi, you love me right? Now is the time to prove that you love me!”
She said in a tone full of compulsion, “Come on, prove to me that you love me! As long as you help me open the Lover’s Lock, I’ll be with you forever, for the rest of my life!”
Possibly feeling that the danger was getting closer, Su Shanshan’s tone began to become impatient.
In her opinion, within these few people, only Zhao Yi loved her.
If Zhao Yi wasn’t willing to make a move, then she would really be dead!
Su Shanshan couldn’t help but urge Zhao Yi, “What are you waiting for, come on! Zhao Yi, didn’t you swear before that you would love me for the rest of my life? Won’t you say you’ll be with me for the rest of my life? Now is the time to prove your sincerity, what are you waiting for?”
Zhao Yi: “……”
Seeing that Zhao Yi was still indifferent, Su Shanshan completely collapsed.
Her face was livid, her body began to twist up strangely, and the bones in her spine even twisted to an extreme degree that no human could reach.
Su Shallow cursed out loud, “Zhao Yi, you liar! What you said about you will love me, what you said about a lifetime of love, you all lied to me! I curse you to not have a good death, I won’t let you go even if I go to hell!”
Zhao Yi: “……”
Cough!
Zhao Yi saw that the hilarity was almost over and coughed lightly.
He was just about to finish when Linglong, who was on the side, suddenly weakly called out to him.
“Crown Prince, don’t go over there!”
Zhao Yi stopped his words and turned to look at Linglong.
He looked at Linglong’s swollen face like a pig’s head and almost didn’t recognize her.
“How did you become like this?” Zhao Yi asked strangely.
The corner of Linglong’s mouth twitched and she smiled bitterly and didn’t answer.
Linglong had been seriously injured by Zuo Xiaoluo’s slap before, and later on, she was tortured by Su Shanshan to lose half of her life, so it was already a great fortune that she was still alive now.
She weakly said, ”Your Highness, don’t be deceived by that monster! There is no such thing as a lover’s lock, and there is no such thing as only the blood of a beloved can unlock the lock, those I intentionally lied to her!”
Fake?
Zhao Yi didn’t have much of a reaction when he heard this, but Su Shanshan directly collapsed.
It was as if she had lost her soul as she stared blankly at the male lead.
If the Beloved Blood Unlocking didn’t exist.
Then what was the point of what she just did?
“Ah!!!”
Su Shallow suddenly started to go crazy, a pair of blood-red vertical pupils staring at Linglong in death, itching to break her into pieces!
“Bitch! It’s all because you harmed me! I will kill you!”
Linglong was startled by her, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, but thinking about her current situation, the fear was quickly filled with anger.
“You damned lunatic, you deserve to die!”
Two women.
One was hanging from the door by spikes, and the other was lying on the floor with serious injuries.
All over.
The only thing that moves is the mouth.
But still the fight was heated and uncontrollable!
Cursing and cursing, Su Shallow suddenly lost her voice.
The next moment.
Her clothes exploded.
On Su Shanshan’s body, bizarre blood-red veins connected, and the blood-red light formed a huge blood cocoon, wrapping Su Shanshan inside.
The blood light on the giant cocoon flickered, emitting an evil and ominous aura.
A terrifying aura was reviving.
Zuo Xiaoluo took out a kitchen knife from somewhere and stood vigilantly at Zhao Yi’s side.
Holding the knife, Zuo Xiaoluo looked at looked at the huge cocoon in front of her with a grave expression, “Eun Gong, what’s being bred inside the blood cocoon is likely to be the divine beast Taotie!”
Zhao Yi nodded slightly.
He thought that Taotie was hatched from an egg, but he didn’t expect it to be conceived in this way.
Although it was a bit bizarre, it wasn’t too outrageous.
Zhao Yi thought of the dead egg that was fried and eaten by Zuo Xiaoluo again.
If that egg was sacrificed at that time, did Taotie hatch out from the egg?
Zhao Yi tsked.
Worthy of being the True Dragon’s five sons, it’s really marvelous!
Taotie gestated extremely quickly.
In less than ten breaths, the blood light on the giant cocoon disappeared.
The giant cocoon faded in color and turned into a blackish brown, roughly textured eggshell that looked like tree bark.
Click!
The eggshell broke through a hole, and a foot poked out from inside.
Looking at that foot, everyone froze at the same time.
That foot was no longer a human’s five fingers, it had turned into three toes with sharp toenails, which shone with a cold light and were as sharp as hooks.
The toenails stomped hard, and the eggshell directly shattered.
A Taotie of enormous size appeared in front of everyone!
The taotie’s mouth was full of sharp teeth, its huge head was full of spikes, and its skin was blackish-brown and covered with strange veins, making it look both dangerous and evil, as well as beautiful and aesthetically pleasing!
Possibly inheriting Su Shanshan’s will, as soon as the Taotie appeared, its blood-red vertical pupils directly locked onto Zhao Yi!
Obviously, within everyone, the one Su Shallow remembered the most was Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi didn’t know if he should be happy or not.
He asked Zuo Xiaoluo at the side, “Can you still feel Su Shanshan’s breath?”
Zuo Xiaoluo nodded, then shook her head again.
She said uncertainly, “I don’t know how to describe her state at this moment. Su Shallow is dead, but not completely dead. She is Taotie, and Taotie is her. But she is not completely Taotie, and Taotie is not completely her.”
Zhao Yi: “…… Speak human!”
Zuo Xiaoluo said, “You can understand that Su Shanshan became a nutrient that was absorbed by the Taotie, thus forming a brand new Taotie individual. This Taotie may have Su Shallow’s consciousness, but it is not Su Shallow anymore.”
Zhao Yi was still confused.
But it didn’t matter.
It didn’t matter if this Taotie was Su Shallow.
Take advantage of his illness to kill him!
The Taotie had just completed its conception and was at its weakest.
Just kill it directly!
Zhao Yi rubbed his fists together and said to Zuo Xiaoluo, “You help me marshal the battlefield from the side, I’ll meet this legendary Dragon’s Fifth Son!”
Zuo Xiaoluo nodded, “Taotie’s strength has risen very quickly, when it was first born, it was only at the sixth stage of the Divine Journey Realm, but now it’s already at the eighth stage of the Sacred Realm. At this rate, it won’t take long for it to break through the Ninth Order Saint King Realm!”
“Sixth Order Divine Tour Realm at birth?”
When Zhao Yi thought about how hard it was for him to break through an Xuan Pass, he burst into envy: “Worthy of being the son of a true dragon, it’s really favored by the heavens!”
“Come!”
Zhao Yi hooked his finger towards Taotie, “Let me see what the legendary evil beast that eats ten people a day is made of!”
Seeing Zhao Yi’s gesture, Taotie was instantly enraged.
It roared and instantly sneaked towards Zhao Yi like a bolt of lightning!
Little Poison was startled and quickly warned, “Master, be careful!”
“No need to worry.” Zuo Xiaoluo waved her hand towards her, “Enkong can handle it himself!”
While the two were talking, Taotie had already arrived by Zhao Yi’s side.
“Too slow!”
Zhao Yi slightly sidestepped and easily dodged Taotie’s sure-fire claw, then raised his foot and heavily kicked Taotie in the abdomen.
Boom!
With a muffled sound, the Taotie instantly flew out like a cannonball.
It bared its teeth and was just about to stand up when it saw a blur before its eyes and a tall figure appeared in front of it.
Zhao Yi was extremely fast, and his fists fell like rain towards the taotie, cursing as he did so:
“That bitch Su Shallow is really ugly, she’s still disgusting when she’s dead!”
“What kind of thing are you, how dare you call yourself Dragon Son?”
“Eating people, huh? I’ll break your mouth full of teeth, let’s see how you can still eat people!”
“Hey, can’t think about it, the more I think about it, the angrier I get!”
“What kind of thing is Su Shallow, why doesn’t she go to hell!”
Seeing Zhao Yi go crazy, the corners of the mouths of the few people present simultaneously twitched.
The male lead had a complicated look on his face.
On the one hand, Su Shallow had suffered on his behalf, or else he would be the one to die right now.
On the other hand, he had also practiced the Dragon God Skill, and he might also become this crazy in the future.
Thinking of an uncertain future, the male lead immediately let out another long sigh.
Linglong looked at Zhao Yi with strange eyes.
She had heard people say before that the Zhao family liked to go crazy, but had never had any concept of it.
Today, she finally saw it.
Well …… Prince is still handsome, and going crazy is also handsome!
Zuo Xiaoluo and Little Poison are expressionless, and they are not surprised by Zhao Yi s behavior.
The little poisonous thing even made a suggestion at the side.
“Master, pluck a tooth for me, I want to grind bone powder and feed it to Little Red and Little Green.”
“And blood and meat!”
“Just ask for a bucket of blood, Little Red and the others can’t drink much, ten pounds of meat is enough for me!”
Zhao Yi agreed one by one.
After about a pillar of incense, Zhao Yi finally finished warming up and his body started sweating, which stopped the workout.
Zhao Yi looked at Taotie, who had already been beaten to the point where he couldn’t even recognize his own mother, and said to Zuo Xiaoluo at the side, “This little thing’s life is pretty hard, very hardy, it’s not a bad idea to bring it back as a sandbag!”
Zuo Xiaoluo shook her head, “This is only a juvenile Taotie, and it can’t even bring out one percent of its aptitude. When it becomes an adult, it won’t be so easy to clean up.”
“Then let it not become an adult!” Zhao Yi casually said.
He tugged on Taotie’s tail and casually threw it to Zuo Xiaoluo: “See where the meat is good, cut a bit off and make roasted meat at night. This guy doesn’t know how many people he’s eaten, it’s time to pay back some interest!”
Zhao Yi looked at Taotie and grinned, “Cut the meat and bleed it every day, I’ll see how it still comes of age!”
When these words came out, Linglong and the male lead shivered at the same time.
“Amitabha.”
The male lead regained a bit of strength and sat on his knees, seeing Zuo Xiaoluo razor down on Taotie to cut his flesh, a trace of intolerance flashed in his eyes and he whispered a Buddhist chant.
Seeing this, Zhao Yi raised an eyebrow and said, “Little monk, Taotie is a legendary beast, its meat is a great tonic. You’re so weak, are you sure you don’t want to eat a piece to make up for it?”
“Amitabha Buddha.” The male master chanted the Buddha’s name in a loud voice and kept saying, “Sin, sin!”
Zhao Yi didn’t tease him anymore and turned his head to Linglong on the side.
Linglong swallowed hard.
Taotie was already scary enough, and this person in front of her was seven points more raw than Taotie.
If he was angered, he might tear himself apart in minutes.
Linglong gave a dry smile and fawned, “Your Highness the Crown Prince, my daughter definitely does not have half a bit of disrespect for you, it was all a misunderstanding before, please spare my daughter this time for the sake of my young and unintelligent daughter!”
Zhao Yi didn’t say anything, but looked at Linglong with a smile.
This woman’s heart is too deep, cheating people to death.
Su Shanshan, who Zhao Yi had tried everything to get rid of, was easily trapped by her.
Zhao Yi kept staring at Linglong until she was about to lose the ability to maintain the fake smile on her face, and only then did he retract his gaze, a smile appearing on his face.
“You did a great job!”
“Although it was a mistake, it also helped me solve a problem.”
“When the meat is roasted later, I’ll share a piece with you!”
Hearing this, Linglong was first stunned, then she let out a long breath.
“Many thanks to Your Highness the Crown Prince for not killing me!”
Zhao Yi nodded and came to the door of the Taotie Hall.
Such a large palace.
If the Taotie Inheritance was performed on the runes at the entrance.
Then what was inside the large palace?
Zhao Yi was just thinking about it when he suddenly smelled a strong meat aroma coming over.
Turning around, he saw that Zuo Xiaoluo had already started barbecuing.
The rich meat aroma was coming from there!
The little poisonous creature squatted beside the fire, looking blearily at the barbecued meat, his mouth watering.
At her feet, the little green snake that had almost scared the snake’s guts out of her earlier was retrieved, and a dozen or so poisonous insects and beasts that Zhao Yi couldn’t recognize were sprawled out in front of a tile jar, gulping down taotie’s blood in a painful gulp.
Taotie was an ancient beast, and its blood was a great tonic for these poisonous creatures.
Seeing this, Zhao Yi turned his head towards the Taotie.
Taotie was sickly and weak.
Zuo Xiaoluo didn’t know where she found an iron chain and tethered Taotie to a pillar in the main hall like a dog.
Zhao Yi skimmed his lips, feeling some regret in his heart.
It was a pity that Taotie wasn’t exactly Su Shallow.
He had long wanted to blow up the streets with Su Shallow on a chain!
