Chapter 16 The Indestructible Cockroach
Chapter 16 The Indestructible Cockroach
Time flows by like water, slowly slipping away, making it hard to grasp. Before you know it, half the day has passed.
The sun was high in the sky, shining brightly. It was a hot season, with not a cloud in the sky and a clear blue expanse. However, there was a cool breeze in the dense, lush forest, and no feeling of heat.
It was less a cool feeling and more a chill. The forest was fraught with danger, with all sorts of magical beasts lurking around. You could be attacked by them at any time, and if you encountered a pack of magical beasts, an ordinary person would definitely be doomed.
Imagine being surrounded by a group of monsters with nowhere to escape, their hungry eyes staring at you. You would definitely feel terrified and break out in a cold sweat.
Lucifer and Chris were relatively lucky; they didn't encounter any high-level magical beasts or groups of them. Of course, Lucifer wasn't idle either, or rather, Chris didn't want her to be idle. Perhaps she was still angry, as she kept luring magical beasts to be Lucifer's opponents without stopping for a moment.
If Lucifer hadn't fought valiantly during this period and become quite powerful, he would have long since become prey for the monsters.
Although he kept complaining that Chris wouldn't let him rest, he knew very well that Chris was training him. If he couldn't master a new skill, it would be useless if he did it at will. Why not put in the effort to practice? As the saying goes, practice makes perfect!
Lucifer did not disappoint Chris. After hunting down dozens of magical beasts, he basically mastered the new skill, Lightning Flash. Combined with his previous skills, Lucifer's combat power was not to be underestimated. Even if he encountered some high-level magical beasts, he could escape if he couldn't win, instead of being as pathetic as before.
"What the heck! Not again?"
Lucifer hadn't even had time to warm up his backside when Chris attracted another magical beast. Its level wasn't very high, only level 13, just one level higher than Lucifer.
This was nothing to Lucifer at this moment. He could easily kill even level 15 monsters, let alone level 13 ones, without using any special skills.
If you use special abilities, hehe, even a level 16 monster would be doomed, let alone a level 15 one.
He now possesses a variety of skills: Gluttony from Chris, Space Blade, Ape Roar from the Cyclops, Lightning Flash from the Thunder Serpent, and the most awesome special skill, Blood Engraving. One person possessing so many skills is basically a special skill; if word got out, it would be terrifying.
It's already incredibly rare for someone to possess even one special skill; they're one in a million. But Lucifer is just making life impossible for everyone else.
By the way, Chris can now freely control the size of her body. She can shrink to the size of an ant, but when she grows larger, she can only reach her original normal size.
Although she has gained control, even the well-informed Chris couldn't figure out the reason. She could only attribute it to becoming Lucifer's servant and thus gaining a skill. At present, this is the only explanation.
Sure enough, after luring the monsters over, Chris quickly shrank and hid behind Lucifer. The monsters Chris attracted thought they were allies and pounced on them without hesitation.
This was a vicious wolf, four or five times the size of Lucifer. Its entire body was covered in dark gray wolf fur, and its limbs were strong and powerful. Its teeth and claws were extremely sharp, like blades. Lucifer had no doubt that if it caught him, he would be torn to shreds.
The wolf's talents lie in its teeth and claws, its incredible speed, and its ability to be a killer in the night. Moreover, wolves and vampires are natural enemies, irreconcilable. Now, Lucifer and vampires have met again, a case of sworn enemies meeting on a narrow road.
Without a doubt, it must have been Chris who exposed her vampire identity, which lured it here. Although wolves are fast, he is even faster. His more than a month of hellish life was not in vain.
"roll!"
Facing the wolf that pounced on him, Lucifer didn't even use his sword. He met the wolf head-on and punched it in the stomach, sending it flying.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The wolf's belly is its most vulnerable spot, and now, after being struck hard by Lucifer, it was sent flying and rolled several times on the ground. When it got up, its limbs were visibly trembling, blood was streaming from the corner of its mouth, and its eyes were filled with resentment.
"Ouch!"
The wolf howled, opened its blood-red maw, revealing two rows of saw-like teeth, and pounced on Lucifer.
"court death!"
Lucifer shouted, pushed off with both legs, and shot forward, narrowly missing the wolf. He then grabbed the wolf's tail with his other hand.
With a forceful pull of both hands, like cracking a whip, the wolf was slammed to the ground, dust billowing and leaves fluttering. But this was only the beginning.
"Bang bang bang!"
Lucifer gripped the wolf's tail tightly, slamming it left and right against the ground, against rocks, against tree trunks. No matter how the wolf struggled, it couldn't escape; it looked painful.
However, to Lucifer's surprise, after more than twenty blows, the wolf was still alive. Although wolves are physically strong, this was too strong; it was still not dead.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
So he continued to smash it a few more times. This time, Lucifer smashed the wolf into the boulder each time, leaving the surface covered in wolf blood, bits of flesh, and a gruesome sight.
However, what nearly drove Lucifer to his death was that the wolf was still alive!
Is that cockroach?
Their vitality is so strong!
"Oh!"
Lucifer hurled the wolf high into the air, and as it was about to land, he kicked it, sending it flying and rolling several times on the ground.
At this point, the wolf was no longer a wolf; its entire body was covered in blood, with wounds all over its body that reached the bones, revealing its white bones, and its mouth was crooked.
However, to Lucifer's disbelief, the wolf actually got up, and he was truly impressed.
Moreover, the wolf did not seem to have given up its attack on Lucifer and was preparing to launch another attack.
"Awoo! Awoo! Awoo!"
Just then, the howling of wolves suddenly came from not far away.
Lucifer's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the wolf's companions had arrived?
Being surrounded by a pack of wolves is no joke; they can wear him down to death. Once his stamina and magic are exhausted, he's doomed.
Just as Lucifer was about to make a run for it, the wolf turned around, glanced at him, and then ran swiftly toward the direction from which the sound came from, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye. Lucifer couldn't help but look puzzled.
“I see, that’s a roar to summon companions,” said the miniature Chris, who had somehow ended up sitting on Lucifer’s shoulder.
"Summon them?" Lucifer asked, puzzled.
“That’s right. Wolves usually howl to summon their pack when they spot a target.” Chris nodded, then looked at Lucifer and said casually, “You’re not thinking of chasing after them, are you?”
"Hehe, of course, it won't kill me to go take a look. Anyway, you need to find me an opponent, and here's one right here." Lucifer had a lewd expression on his face, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
Don't you know that curiosity killed the cat?
"With Your Majesty here, what are you afraid of? Could it be that you...?" Lucifer flattered.
"Are you doubting my abilities? Fine, let's go, I'll show you the majesty of this queen!" Chris frowned slightly.
"hey-hey!"
