Dragon's Origin

Chapter 66: The Terrifying Thousand Severed Lands 8

Wang Sheng had just finished adjusting his boots when the trackers in the water were devoured by piranhas. Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly stopped, took out his binoculars, and carefully observed the scene in the water.

Each piranha's mouth accounted for half of its body, and they moved in swarms of thousands. Whether it was a large wildebeest demon beast or an ordinary human expert, none could withstand their attacks for more than half a minute.

Once in the water, unless they were originally aquatic demon beasts, even the greatest strength could only be used to at most half its capacity, not to mention speed. Having one-third of their original speed would be considered extremely lucky. Humans in the water were basically at the mercy of others, and there was unlikely to be any other outcome.

What attracted Wang Sheng wasn't the outcome he was about to see, but rather a sudden burst of inspiration, wanting to see if the piranhas' devouring process could be applied to the Chi吻(Chi吻: a mythical sea creature)'s devouring.

It should be noted that the piranha's large mouth accounts for half of its body, and coincidentally, the Chi吻(Chi吻: a mythical sea creature) has the head of a dragon and the body of a fish, with its large mouth also accounting for half of its body.

It would be impossible for a piranha to swallow a wildebeest demon beast in one gulp, and even a human, reduced many times in size, couldn't be swallowed in one gulp. The body is already so big, and the mouth is only so big, and there is a limit to how much it can open. It is impossible to swallow it in one gulp.

By the same token, the Chi吻(Chi吻: a mythical sea creature)'s body is only so big, and the mouth, even when opened to its limit, is only as big as that small stone. It would be powerless to devour the largest stone, let alone the medium-sized one.

Since devouring the small stone, Wang Sheng's Yuan魂(Yuan魂: primordial spirit) seemed to have stopped growing. Wang Sheng himself didn't know how to swallow the two mountain-like boulders behind. Now, seeing the piranhas' feeding method, he suddenly had an inspiration.

Could the Yuan魂(Yuan魂: primordial spirit) also split into many small Chi吻(Chi吻: a mythical sea creature), and then tear the boulders apart like piranhas, devouring them piece by piece? In terms of the sharpness of teeth, what's in the mouth of Chi吻(Chi吻: a mythical sea creature) are dragon teeth, which are many times stronger than piranhas. If the Yuan魂(Yuan魂: primordial spirit) can really split, let alone those two mountain-like boulders, what if they were the size of Earth?

This was just a flash of inspiration in Wang Sheng's mind. Before Wang Sheng had time to think about the subsequent possibilities, he was awakened by a deafening roar.

What Tang Ao, Shi Chong, and Song Ming could think of, Wang Sheng could naturally think of. This must be the sound of gunfire alarming a powerful demon beast, which was coming to take over the territory.

Wang Sheng had just packed his boots and stood up. He waved to the trackers who were still desperately chopping wood to build a raft, turned around, and left gracefully, soon disappearing into the jungle on the opposite bank.

Shi Chong and Song Ming both saw Wang Sheng's waving gesture, but at this moment, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and endure. If they were distracted, they were afraid that time would not wait for them, and that fierce demon beast might appear immediately.

Experts are experts. Within a few short minutes, at least four trees as thick as a hug were cut halfway through. It should be known that this is the Thousand Severed Lands, and the trees inside are several times stronger than ordinary trees outside.

Seeing that with a little more time, the four big trees could be felled, but unfortunately, the roar of the beast was getting closer and closer, and it was almost too late.

In a critical moment, Tang Ao, Shi Chong, and Song Ming, three fifth-level experts, couldn't care about anything else. They told everyone to get out of the way, and the three of them worked together, attacking the connecting part between one of the big trees and its roots.

Bang, fifth-level experts are fifth-level experts. A big tree fell in response. The three didn't bother to rest and immediately rushed to the second tree.

By the time they had felled two big trees, the roar of the beast sounded only a few hundred meters away, and everyone could even hear a giant beast crashing through the trees in its path.

"It's too late! Push it into the water!" Tang Ao shouted. The remaining dozen or so people didn't dare to delay and worked together to push the two felled trees with their huge canopies into the water.

Shi Chong and Song Ming stood on the unforked part of the tree trunk, chopping wildly. How could they row with two such large trees? They could only cut off the canopy. Tang Ao was at the other end, trying to connect the two tree trunks together.

"Prepare some long tree trunks to use as poles." In the midst of the chaos, Tang Ao suddenly thought of an important issue. Without paddles or poles, how could the raft move?

The four who were lagging behind turned around without saying a word and rushed straight to the nearest thin trees. Tree trunks as thick as a fist would be enough, and they could be cut off with a single sword, without too much trouble.

Everyone moved quickly. As soon as the small trees were cut down on this side, they turned around and fled to the riverbank. Even so, the last one was still a step too slow. Just as he jumped up, he was grabbed by a large hand that suddenly stretched out from the dark jungle.

The big hand was so huge that it directly grabbed the adult in its hand, with half of his body exposed above and the entire lower half grabbed, unable to move.

The grabbed expert was terrified, waving the tree trunk and weapon, and was about to stab it into the big hand, when another big hand grabbed his upper body without warning. With a force of both hands, a third-level expert was torn in half at the waist.

At this time, Shi Chong and Song Ming had completely cut off the canopy, leaving only two bare tree trunks. Fortunately, the tree trunks were long enough and could float, enough for the dozen or so of them to use. Tang Ao had already secured one end, and as long as this end was secured, it would be a simple raft.

Everyone saw their companion being torn in half at the waist, but no one wanted to save him. There was no other reason than that the owners of the two big hands had appeared. They were jungle giants. They were crawling on all fours just now, but now they stood up straight, reaching six or seven zhang(丈: a unit of length, approx. 3.3 meters) tall.

This size alone was already chilling, but its strength was even more despairing. Jungle giants are seven-star demon beasts, and this giant, even at its worst, had the strength of the sixth level.

This was already almost invincible, but behind it, several more giants emerged one after another. Obviously, this was a group of giants. Tang Ao and his dozen or so people would have to be crazy to think about not escaping and fighting these giants.

"Hurry up and push! Get away from the shore!" Shi Chong shouted, and several guys with poles quickly pushed the raft away from the shore and into the water.

With a snap, the giant bit off half of the remaining half of the body in its hand and chewed it up. At the same time, it handed the remaining part of the corpse to a female ape behind it, while it rushed towards the shore, presumably having discovered something delicious.

Everyone was terrified, frantically pushing the incomplete raft towards the middle of the river, finally pushing it out of the distance when the giant reached the river, which was barely safe.

The giant seemed to know that the piranhas in the water were not easy to mess with. It angrily beat its chest wildly on the riverbank and roared to the sky.

Just when everyone thought that the giant had no other way and that they were finally safe, the giant suddenly picked up a large stone by the river, swung its thick arm, and smashed the stone towards the raft.
