Chapter 463: Self-Destruction

After failing to kill the Meat Mountain with her attack, Red Pupil moved swiftly and jumped off the Meat Mountain’s body.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Once it became a giant creature, the originally slender and sharp six limbs transformed into huge and sturdy ones, creating a loud noise when they landed and poking six large holes into the ground.

Red Pupil rarely activated “Magnification” and “Tower” simultaneously, let alone used both in battle, so she felt a bit of novelty as she looked at her enlarged body, especially at the enormous jaws in front of her that were almost as small as her own body.

Without making the Meat Mountain wait too long, after glancing at her body, she lifted her foot and walked “thud, thud, thud” toward the Meat Mountain in front of her.

After the previous pressure, the height of the Meat Mountain was now about the same as hers.

The final strike…

The giant ant opened its enormous jaws.

Once the jaws were open, they could perfectly fit around the entire body of the Meat Mountain… if the jaws clamped down, wouldn’t it be able to slice this Meat Mountain in half in one go?

She had heard from her sisters that an S-class adventurer and three Class A Adventurer Squads had fought this Meat Mountain, but no matter how they attacked, the Meat Mountain always managed to recover.

The wounds that Orna and the Earth Dragon’s breath had inflicted seemed to show signs of recovery as well.

But what would happen if it was bitten in half?

If it could still live even after being bitten in half, then she would bite it into four pieces, eight pieces… or even more, and then let her sisters destroy each piece.

Once she made her plan, Red Pupil no longer hesitated.

The huge and sharp jaws snapped shut suddenly.

With a “crack,” the monster’s cry stopped, and its body was easily split in two.

“Did we succeed?”

In the forest, Lvzi couldn’t help but speak up.

“Something feels off.”

Army Lady did not answer whether they succeeded; instead, she narrowed her green eyes and looked serious.

“It was bitten in half, but it isn’t bleeding much.”

“Ah, really! Why is the blood flowing less than when we attacked before?”

After being sliced in half, the blood from the Meat Mountain seemed to be trapped inside its body. Besides a little that stained the huge jaws of Red Pupil, only a small amount flowed from the edge of the wound.

The young girl also sensed something was wrong, but for a moment, she simply raised her jaws and flipped away the top half of the Meat Mountain, then carefully stepped back a few paces.

The upper half of the Meat Mountain, lifted by the jaws, crashed to the ground.

Yet, even so, whether it was the upper part or the lower part, the blood and flesh inside still seemed to be trapped within.

Just as Red Pupil hesitated about whether to continue dividing the Meat Mountain as planned, both halves of the Meat Mountain began to move at the same time.

This movement was not just on the surface; it wasn’t limited to parts of the body; it was a wild writhing throughout its entire body, inside and out!!

From time to time, the skin and flesh of the Meat Mountain bubbled up like boiling water, as if something inside was struggling to break free.

This strange scene did not last long.

Just as Red Pupil was taken aback and decided to continue the attack, the two halves of the Meat Mountain suddenly stopped moving. They unexpectedly expanded like balloons filled with air, and then—

Boom!!! Boom!!!

With two loud explosions, the two halves of the flesh mountain blasted apart, sending countless pieces of flesh and blood flying through the air, almost blocking the sky and turning it red, filling the battlefield with a terrible smell of blood.

Some nearby pieces of flesh landed next to Red Pupil, and she then saw those pieces wriggling into a humanoid flesh monster.

So, that self-detonation was a means of escape?

While thinking this, the humanoid monster let out a strange cry and swung its arms, which had transformed into bone blades, at Red Pupil’s right front leg.

Ding!

Like a fine needle striking a metal plate, the bone blade hit her right front leg, making that sound.

The size of the humanoid monster’s bone blade was so small compared to Red Pupil’s now massive right front leg that there was not just no feeling of pain; Red Pupil didn’t even notice it. If it weren’t for the ‘ding’ sound, she might not have realized she had been attacked.

Is escaping instinctual? Is attacking living creatures instinctual too? It shouldn’t be considered stupid, after all; it really caused quite a bit of trouble.

The huge black ant lifted its right front leg, and the humanoid monster was knocked to the ground, unable to stand up for a moment.

Then, the right front leg came down…

With a soft “squish,” like stepping on an ant, the black ant crushed the humanoid monster into a messy pile of blood.

Looking down from above, she gazed around.

Just as she had guessed, when the meat mountain exploded, the flesh that fell to the ground began to squirm and reform into humanoid monsters, which then attacked the nearest living beings.

Therefore, the ant tribe, which had thought they could only watch their big sister show her power, began to fight against the attacking humanoid monsters.

Besides that.

Not only on this battlefield, but even in the distant forest, as well as in the nearest human villages and towns… the flesh that exploded nearly covered all these places.

Looking down again, she saw the blood and flesh monster that she had crushed into a bloody mess starting to move and reform…

Its life force is quite strong; regular attacks and cuts cannot destroy it? And then there’s…

Glancing upward, Red Pupil noticed the blood that had splattered on her jaws after slicing the mountain of flesh in half gathering together, and it too was wriggling…

So disgusting.

Seeing this scene, Red Pupil shook off the blood on her jaws, canceled the “Magnification” and “Tower” skills, and transformed back into a petite girl with black hair and red eyes.

Then, she used “Psychic Call” to inform Lin Yu of her findings while lifting her small foot to stomp on the head of the monster that had reformed into human shape, turning it into a bloody mess once more.

The girl took a bottle of fuel out of her Magic Backpack, poured it over the humanoid monster at her feet, and then ignited it.

However, the bottle of fuel she had was just ordinary fuel; its power was even less than a regular fireball spell. The burning mass of blood only slowed its wriggling movement; after a little more time, the humanoid monster on the ground recovered again.

The girl frowned.

She seemed to have underestimated the trouble of this meat mountain.

Not very strong, but quite disgusting.
