MMORPG: Divine Monster Transmuter-Novel2

Chapter 171: The Coming Pain

Within the Qiankun Gourd.

Whoosh!

The Thunderclap Mantis was wrapped in a talisman as it flew away.

Heifeng was lying on his side licking the chicken drumstick when he saw the Thunderclap Mantis fly away. He licked the drumstick again. “Wow~ He is flying again.”

Yanhu, who was lying beside him, rolled his eyes at him. “Heifeng, I say, are you sick? It’s fine if you eat the drumstick a bite a day, but you’ve licked it so much that it’s lost its color.”

Heifeng glanced at Yanhu, then gave him a smile. “Brother Yan, you don’t understand this. I don’t really want to eat it. I was licking it out of love.”

“Ugh...”

When Xiaotian heard what Heifeng had said, he remembered the first time he ate the chicken drumstick. He quickly went to the side to vomit.

Yanhu asked him, “Xiaotian, are you alright?”

Heifeng used his one tiger claw to hold the chicken drumstick and the other tiger claw to scratch himself as he said to Yanhu as if he understood Xiaotian, “Don’t worry, Brother Yan. He will get used to it, eventually.”

Whoosh.

The Thunderclap Mantis flew away once again.

Heifeng opened his mouth and said, “Wow~ There he goes again!”

After that, he continued licking the drumstick.

The Arcane Amulet Dragon Guapi was so tired that she was visibly showing her weakness.

When she saw the Thunderclap Mantis flying over, she quickly shook her head and said, “No, I can’t do this anymore. Let me rest for a while.”

The Thunderclap Mantis then frowned and said, “Fine, get some rest. Then, remember your power carefully. The Arcane Amulet Dragon is considered to be one of the top tier dragons even amongst the Divine Dragons. If your ancestors could use the runes to appear anywhere they wish to in the blink of an eye, you can too.”

Though Guapi was a dragon, and had the bloodline of the Divine Dragon, the Arcane Amulet Dragon, she had just matured recently and was only at rank ten so she was not that proficient in using her natural abilities as she was not taught by the elders of her own race. Some of her skills had not been learned, and she had to discover them slowly.

In order to build Guapi’s confidence, he did not want to give her any pressure. The Thunderclap Mantis was cheering for her and even praised her.

***

Shifter Sealing Tower.

Jiang Feng and Ling Feiyu were still bound to the stone sword.

“I will return to my monster form soon. Is there anything you want to say to me?”

Without the Dark Shadow mask to shield his status, as soon as any players make their way here they would be able to recognize him for who he was. Therefore, he was ready to return to his monster form.

He was also trying to test if he could escape from the Shifter Binding Lasso by becoming a monster and shrinking his body.

Ling Feiyu understood what Jiang Feng meant, and asked him, “Will the Inheritors revive if they are killed? If the other Inheritors can’t be revived after their death, won’t your identity be exposed?”

Jiang Feng shook his head with a smile. “It wasn’t easy for every race to choose their inheritors. Unlimited revival is also part of the NPC Inheritors’ abilities. As for other NPCs, they wouldn’t be revived if they were killed!”

When he became the Inheritor, the Shifter Hierophant was sacrificed. He believed that when the other races’ Inheritors accepted the inheritance, they must have paid some sort of price.

If they could die easily, then the Inheritor NPCs would be useless as a group of players could easily kill them.

Another thing he learned about the Inheritors’ revival came from his chat with Wen Yan. Wen Yan had also told him that he could be revived endlessly, but it came with some limits.

When other players died, they could revive immediately. The Inheritors had a timer. historical

Of course, now that he was within the Shifter Sealing Tower, he would immediately revive after death due to the effects of the Shifter Binding Lasso. It made it easier for other players to slaughter him.

Ling Feiyu then said with a frigid voice, “Even if you could revive, I won’t let them kill you that easily!”

“Hm?”

Jiang Feng was slightly stunned when he heard Ling Feiyu’s words. As he could not see Ling Feiyu’s face, he could not guess why Ling Feiyu would say something like that.

‘Does she like me? I don’t think so. She’s so beautiful and rich, why would she fall for someone like me? I guess it must be because she is feeling sorry for dragging me into a trap,’ Jiang Feng thought to himself.

“Alright, I’m going to remove my polymorph. I hope canceling polymorph would help me remove the binding of the Shifter Binding Lasso!”

Dismissing his polymorph did not need him to use a skill or item, all he needed was to think about it.

Whoosh!

As soon as the polymorph was dismissed, Jiang Feng became a small dog.

When his body became small, the Shifter Binding Lasso tightened as he was about to break through the lasso. It even created a small chain and bound him to the stone sword.

“Argh! Damn it! I hate this Shifter Binding Lasso!”

When Ling Feiyu turned and saw that Jiang Feng had become a small dog, she asked after being astonished, “Aren’t you a dragon? Why did you become a dog?”

Jiang Feng rolled his eyes at Ling Feiyu. “Woof! This is a wolf, alright? Can’t you hear the deep howl of a wolf? Is there something wrong with your hearing?”

But Ling Feiyu could not understand his bark.

Looking at Jiang Feng barking loudly, Ling Feiyu smiled at his cuddliness. “Quite cute.”

‘I’m not cute!’

Jiang Feng was speechless and thought to himself, ‘If I had foreseen this I wouldn’t have chosen to evolve the wolf’s bloodline first.’

In order to increase the ranking of all his other bloodlines to increase his power, he chose to improve the rank of his wolf bloodline first. But what he did not expect was that he was brought here by Ling Feiyu as soon as he had started evolving, and had even fallen into Archmaster Moji’s trap helplessly.

‘I hope that the Thunderclap Mantis can bring a golden pill out. Once I have taken a golden pill, then perhaps I could break through the lasso’s binding when I evolve. Even If I can’t break through it, I could use the lottery system to see if I could get something useful that could help me with escaping this. Guapi, work harder and send the Thunderclap Mantis out!’

While he was bound by the Shifter Binding Lasso and could not use any items, feeding him the golden pill should be no problem at all.

Of course, he did not have much faith that it would work. If he could not evolve after taking the golden pill, then he was doomed. He just had to stand there and let others kill him until his level fell to zero.

Once he was killed till he was level 0 and the Shifter Binding Lasso had been removed, he would be sent to a random Starter Village.

Bam! Bam!

Just after he had transformed into his monster form, he could hear footsteps coming from the entrance to the fifth level.

“They have reached us so soon. Looks like Archmaster Moji did something to the first four levels!” When Jiang Feng heard the footsteps, his heart sank.

While it was easy for them to kill all the monsters, it was not easy for them to find the maze’s boss. They spent two hours just to reach the fifth level with the help of all of his followers.

He certainly did not expect the players to only take one hour to reach them.

He did not have to think hard to know that the Archmaster Moji had done something.

“Damn it! I didn’t think that she would do this to me! I should have killed her when I had the chance! Just you wait, I would one day make you kneel before me!” Jiang Feng thought to himself.

“Someone’s coming. Don’t get enraged. Once you’ve entered into Slaughter or Indifference status, it would be even easier to trigger that weakness of yours.” Ling Feiyu quickly said into Jiang Feng’s ears when a group of players had reached the fifth level.

Jiang Feng nodded. He did not mind if he were to enter the berserk status since it did not have any side effects and could even help him. But once he had entered the Slaughter status, the side effect was huge.

He had never entered the Indifference status and did not know what kind of side effect it had. But by his estimate, the side effect would only be worse than the Slaughter status.

‘Come on! I’ll remember everyone that has ever touched me this time!’ Jiang Feng thought to himself.

At this time, a large group of players had appeared in the fifth level.

But none of the players was someone he knew. They were the players from the bottom of the guild’s ranks.

His guess was that these were the players that were based in Shuchuan City. They came here as soon as they could.

“Hm? Why did the Shifters’ Inheritor become a dog? Also, why is the game’s top beauty Ling Feiyu here as well?” A male wizard by the name of Fa Kuang said curiously when he approached and saw Jiang Feng’s form and Ling Feiyu, who was next to him.

A wretched assassin next to him smiled wickedly, “Hehe, who cares. Bros, you’ve never touched the breasts of the game’s top beauty, right? Do you want to try it?”

An archer player stopped him and said, “Are you suicidal? Female players are protected by the system. I bet the moment you touch her breast, you will be instantly killed by the system. We better kill the Shifters’ Inheritor and get the Divine Artifacts first. Once we have the Divine Artifacts and sell them off, we can get anything we want!”

“Sure, let’s kill the Shifters’ Inheritor first!”

After the players had a chat, they did not hesitate and aimed right at Jiang Feng. They did not pay Ling Feiyu much attention, since the Divine Artifacts were much more important to them!

Jiang Feng looked at the players that came for him coldly. As he could not use identify, all he could do was to remember the faces of these players. Once he had escaped this, he would settle the score with all of them!
