Chapter 34: Transforming into Ultraman, Let Me Handle It
Damn, it's really her putting on a show. Seeing the Crimson-tailed Bees, Zhang Kai inwardly cursed. He then restrained his breath and lowered his body. The densely packed Crimson-tailed Bees, under Gu Mingyu's command, swarmed throughout the underground palace. Just as Zhang Kai was pondering whether he would be exposed, suddenly, water splashed, and the strange serpent that had just dragged the Forest Anaconda into the water emerged again. Its crimson eyes turned toward the direction of the Crimson-tailed Bees. Both were spiritual creatures, seemingly possessing unique awareness that allowed them to detect each other's presence. As soon as it appeared, the Crimson-tailed Bees became restless and quickly flew into the cracks of Gu Mingyu's chest. Similarly, Gu Mingyu and her group also saw the strange serpent, and they were all stunned. "The Strange Serpent, how is this possible? It didn't die!" "No, this is self-transformation. It has transformed into another type of being, integrating its soul into its bones, becoming unbreakable." The youth with twin ponytails made an instant judgment, then frowned. "This is troublesome. This kind of self-transformation disperses its cultivation but makes its bones incredibly tough, almost impervious to harm. With this thing guarding, we won't be able to obtain the Divine Corpse." However, Gu Mingyu remained calm and said, "Don't worry, leave this to me. You two go find the Divine Corpse of the Mountain Lord." The youth with twin ponytails and Chong Mingdao instantly perked up and nodded in agreement. They then split up and took action. The youth with twin ponytails and Chong Mingdao went around from the side. Gu Mingyu ordered her subordinates to deal with the strange serpent. These subordinates didn't seem to know how they were trained. Despite being aware of the power gap, they didn't back down and bravely charged forward. Then, several of these fully armed individuals sprayed a gas at the strange serpent. The gas sprayed about six or seven meters and formed a frosty covering, instantly freezing everything it touched. The strange serpent, touched by the gas, quickly became covered in frost. Even the water's surface froze. This surprised Zhang Kai. What kind of high-tech weapon was this? It seemed quite extraordinary. However, the strange serpent remained motionless, seemingly unaffected by the freezing gas. But when those people approached, the strange serpent suddenly lunged forward, causing the ice on its body to shatter instantly. It shook its head, and several fully armed individuals were sent flying, their bodies emitting a cracking sound as if their bones were breaking. Then, the entire strange serpent emerged from the water again, revealing a length of dozens of meters. Although it was just a skeletal frame, its terrifying presence remained undiminished. At that moment, a swarm of mosquito-like creatures flew over and fearlessly landed on the strange serpent's skeleton. Sizzle. Where these insects landed, the strange serpent's bones emitted a corroding sound. However, the strange serpent showed no reaction and seemed completely unconcerned. Then, a few people activated machines on their bodies, shooting out chains that wrapped around the strange serpent, immobilizing it. The strange serpent only wriggled frantically for a moment, and those people were lifted off the ground. Then, the serpent's tail swung, and one by one, the people were sent flying. There was even one person who was sent flying toward the direction of the youth with twin ponytails and Chong Mingdao, who were about to flank the serpent, causing them to pause. When they looked over, they found themselves face to face with the strange serpent's crimson eyes. Clearly, despite being in its skeletal state, the strange serpent hadn't lost its intelligence; it was still cunning. Both of them had unpleasant expressions. "Fellow Daoists, do you want to cooperate? I have Bone Sect's secret medicine here, the Three Yang Bone-Transforming Elixir. If we join forces to deal with this strange serpent and transform its bone spirit, the serpent's bones will belong to me," the youth from the Bone Sect suddenly appeared, smiling. "Good, as long as we resolve this, it will belong to the Bone Sect," Gu Mingyu decisively agreed. "Alright then. The Demon Sect's battle techniques are unrivaled. Miss Saintess-in-Waiting, are you willing to fight?" The Bone Sect youth looked at the woman with twin ponytails. Twin ponytails replied coldly, "I haven't cultivated any true qi and can't utilize secret techniques. Even if I have a secret method, I wouldn't be able to unleash much power. How can I possibly defeat this strange serpent?" "I'm showing my sincerity here. Doesn't the Demon Sect have the courage to give it a try?" The Bone Sect youth looked determined. Twin ponytails rolled her eyes. She wasn't stupid. Confronting the strange serpent head-on, even if she endured one blow, she wouldn't be able to withstand it. As a disciple of the Demon Sect, she didn't possess the self-sacrificing qualities. "Then, let me try," a deep voice suddenly sounded. With those words, everyone's expressions changed. An unfamiliar voice. There was actually someone else here. All of them turned to look, their expressions filled with astonishment. Ultraman!? "Or is it Ultraman Tiga!" Gu Mingyu's eyes widened in disbelief. How could there be Ultraman in this world? This had to be someone in a costume... Just as everyone was wondering... In the next moment, Ultraman suddenly flew towards the Bone Sect youth. Yes, he actually flew, just like Ultraman. This left everyone with their mouths wide open, their jaws almost hitting the ground. Ultraman's flight speed was incredibly fast. He flew over the head of the Bone Sect youth, grabbed the bottle, and then turned around, flying toward the strange serpent. Suddenly facing a new species, the strange serpent also seemed bewildered. It stared intently at Ultraman. However, Ultraman began circling around the strange serpent's head, round and round, countless times. He spun so many times that the strange serpent's crimson eyes started to blur. At this moment, Ultraman descended and pressed the bottle onto the strange serpent's skull, then flew away. The bottle shattered, and a dark, black liquid flowed out, easily penetrating the strange serpent's skull. Sensing an immense threat of death, the strange serpent opened its mouth and violently thrashed its body, attempting to shake off the liquid. Ultraman, on the other hand, flew deep into the palace. He had only three minutes in his transformed state, and he couldn't afford to waste any time. Meanwhile, Gu Mingyu and the others were still collectively stunned. This was just too astonishing. From a traditional cultivation setting, suddenly, something sci-fi like this appeared! Boom! The strange serpent suddenly crashed to the ground, its crimson eyes gradually dimming, motionless. Its skull had collapsed over a large area, and its bones seemed to have become softer. "Bad, the Divine Corpse!" Gu Mingyu suddenly reacted, rushing towards the depths of the palace. At this moment, Zhang Kai entered the burial mound and saw a massive coffin. The entire coffin was carved from white jade and was exceptionally exquisite. There was no time for further investigation. With a swing of his hand, Zhang Kai unleashed his Seven-Spin Slash, directly shattering the coffin and revealing a large red wooden coffin inside. He lifted the lid, and a phantom immediately emerged, a bearded figure clad in armor, holding a divine trident. He glared at Zhang Kai and asked, "What are you?" Zhang Kai glanced at the phantom and then at the goat lying inside the coffin. "So, the Mountain God is actually a goat?" The bearded figure responded coldly, "No matter what you are, if you dare to blaspheme the gods, you will incur divine punishment." Zhang Kai couldn't be bothered. As someone who had abandoned everything to escape calamity, a Mountain God who was only capable of talking tough had no other abilities. He stepped forward and picked up the goat from the coffin. Suddenly, a chilling sensation wrapped around his body, and it felt extremely unpleasant. Frozen in place, Zhang Kai said, "A curse?" The bearded figure said nothing, just staring coldly at Zhang Kai. It didn't matter. As a player who cheated the system, what did a mere curse mean? Ignoring the icy aura, Zhang Kai picked up the goat, and then he turned and flew away. As he held the goat, the phantom of the bearded figure instantly disappeared. At this moment, Zhang Kai flew out, and Gu Mingyu and the others caught up, their expressions filled with anger. After plotting and scheming, they ended up losing their prize to someone else. "Put down the Divine Corpse!" Gu Mingyu shouted, waving her hand, and a colorful venomous snake shot towards Zhang Kai. Continuing his flight, Zhang Kai swung his hand backward, and the Seven-Spin Slash flew out, instantly cleaving the venomous snake in two. Watching Ultraman fly away, Gu Mingyu and the others were left dumbfounded. Even though it seemed that recommendation votes were no longer important, I still ask for a few. After all, it looks better with good data.
