Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating

Chapter 62: One Shot Kill

After discussing, Lu Yu went ahead to deal with the Blood-sucking Rhinoceros by himself.

As for Qin Yong and others, they scattered themselves at various locations to keep watch.

If they discovered other Fearsome Beasts approaching, they were to notify him immediately.

After all, they were already deep in the blood-sucking wasteland. If they got entangled with these Fearsome Beasts, the commotion would attract more Fearsome Beasts.

Although ordinary Fearsome Beasts were not that strong, people of the martial arts level of Qin Yong and the rest could handle them easily, much less someone of Lu Yu’s caliber. After all, close to half of them were Martial Master powerful experts.

However, if the Fearsome Beasts came in huge numbers, once they got tangled up with them, they wouldn’t be able to extricate themselves if they were surrounded by the attacking beasts. They would become trapped even more deeply and land themselves in great danger.

By now, Lu Yu had arrived in front of the Blood-sucking Rhinoceros.

Its external appearance was similar to a regular rhinoceros. However, the Fearsome Beast variant emitted an eerie pale red radiance all over its body.

According to the information he read, Lu Yu knew that when the light on the Blood-sucking Rhinoceros turned bright red, it was going into the bloodthirsty berserk state.

It had low intelligence, but it was extremely bloodthirsty, and its strength increased with its bloodthirstiness, to the point that it was almost A-class level. Among the B-class Fearsome Beasts, the Blood-sucking Rhinoceros was, without any doubt, the top among this class.

Compared to the regular rhinoceros, the size of the Blood-sucking Rhinoceros was a lot bigger. It was as tall as half a building, up to 3 meters in height.

In front of this Blood-sucking Rhinoceros, Lu Yu appeared very small.

At this moment, the Blood-sucking Rhinoceros was eating the corpse of another Fearsome Beast. As a Blood-sucking Rhinoceros, it was not a herbivore like the regular rhinoceros. All Blood-sucking Rhinoceros were carnivores.

......

When the Blood-sucking Rhinoceros heard the noise, it looked up to see Lu Yu and the others.

When it saw humans, the eyes of the Blood-sucking Rhinoceros instantly turned red slightly. It stared at Lu Yu without blinking and prepared to attack, as if it was thirsting for the taste of human flesh.

Qin Yong and the rest stood at the side, monitoring the surrounding areas while at the same, sneaking curious glances at Lu Yu preparing to engage this Blood-sucking Rhinoceros in battle.

In their hearts, Lu Yu was their idol. Now that they had a chance to witness Lu Yu in battle with their own eyes, they were all very excited and eager.

At this moment, Lu Yu was calm and composed, and he similarly stared at the Blood-sucking Rhinoceros without blinking.

Lu Yu knew full well in his heart that with his ability, he would not have much problem dealing with this Blood-sucking Rhinoceros. After all, he was at the peak of the Great Martial Master level.

However, Lu Yu also knew that he could not drag on in the battle, and must finish off his adversary swiftly.

As he thought of this, Lu Yu drew out his Blood Emperor Battle Saber.

The Blood Emperor Battle Saber had absorbed quite a lot of Fearsome Beasts’ blood in the last battle when the Fearsome Beasts attacked the city.

In particular, after absorbing the blood of the A-class Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth, it had advanced in level and reached C-class at this time.

As the Blood Emperor Battle Saber was drawn out, it emitted a silky metallic sound, as if it too, was craving for blood.

The Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill activated, 18 times increase! Lu Yu’s strength had reached an astonishing level!

At the same time, the Furnace skill activated and igniting his strength, he doubled his health vitality!

With the A-class skill Red Lotus Battle Energy activated, the bright red terrifying flames materialized and enveloped the Blood Emperor Battle Saber. The saber’s power instantly rose to an incredible level.

It was also at this moment that Lu Yu discovered that the Blood Emperor Battle Saber, which was previously at D-class level, could not quite withstand the power of the Red Lotus Battle Energy.

However, now that the Blood Emperor Battle Saber had risen to C-class, it was barely able to hold on.

The Blood-sucking Rhinoceros seemed to have sensed Lu Yu’s threat. Its eyes turned redder and the red light on its body became more intense.

“Oh no! It is going into the bloodthirsty berserk state!” Qin Yong, who was not far away, saw this and exclaimed in a low voice.

Lu Yu also detected this dangerous development and he struck instantly.

With the D-class skill Shadowstep in operation, Lu Yu’s body became very light and his speed received a massive boost.

As his silhouette flashed, Lu Yu arrived at the side of the Blood-sucking Rhinoceros with his saber drawn.

Such amazing speed!

Qin Yong and the rest were agog with awe and thought, “So this is the speed of a hero?”

At this point, Lu Yu had launched his attack.

A-class skill 8-directional Cleave!

With the Blood Emperor Battle Saber, Lu Yu slashed out with one terrifying stroke.

The 8-directional Cleave was an A-class skill to begin with and was already extremely powerful.

With the Blood Emperor Battle Saber and the support from the Red Lotus Battle Energy, in addition to the augmentation from Lu Yu’s double health vitality, its power reached an unbelievably astonishing level.

With this slash, although Lu Yu had not unleashed his full strength, the stroke had reached close to 5 times his original strength.

5 times the original strength of a Great Martial Master at his peak was not something that a B-class Fearsome Beast could withstand.

With that one slash, the Blood-sucking Rhinoceros’ thick and tough external armor could not take the immensely powerful 8-directional Cleave unleashed by Lu Yu’s Blood Emperor Battle Saber. The armor was sliced open like paper effortlessly as the saber stabbed deep into its body.

The saber aura erupted and the whole Blood-sucking Rhinoceros split into two halves. The body collapsed onto the ground, its blood spewing in all directions.

Not far off, Qin Yong and the rest of the team watched with dropped jaws.

They knew that Lu Yu was very powerful and that he would have no problem dealing with this Blood-sucking Rhinoceros.

After all, in the earlier battle where the Fearsome Beasts attacked the city, he not only slew countless Fearsome Beasts, he even took down an A-class Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth.

However, they never imagined that Lu Yu could win this battle in such a swift manner.

With just one slash, he ended the battle?

And this slash was imbued with such terrifying powers that it could slice such a big and powerful Blood-sucking Rhinoceros in half. It was too unbelievable.

This Blood-sucking Rhinoceros was a B-class Fearsome Beast. Its body size was amazing, its skin thick and tough beyond words, and it still had a layer of thick, dense armor covering its whole body.

With such an impregnable defense, it was still unable to withstand Lu Yu’s single slash!

Qin Yong and the rest of the members stared at Lu Yu in shock. In that instant, Lu Yu’s stature had risen several more notches in their eyes. They admired and respected Lu Yu even more fervently, in fact they were absolutely terrified of him!

At this moment, Lu Yu was looking at the corpse of the Blood-sucking Rhinoceros that he had sliced in half, with a stupefied look.

In order to prevent the Blood-sucking Rhinoceros from going into the bloodthirsty berserk state, thereby prolonging the battle, causing a commotion and attracting the surrounding Fearsome Beasts, Lu Yu had used a bit more strength in order to end the battle swiftly.

However, now it appeared that with 5 times the strength, it was a bit excessive.

After this battle, Lu Yu estimated that roughly 3 times the strength would have been sufficient to kill a regular B-class Fearsome Beast in one shot.

Since this battle ended so fast, there was practically no commotion at all, so did not attract any nearby Fearsome Beasts.

Now, Qin Yong and the other members rushed up with an overjoyed look.

Lu Yu took the corpse of the Blood-sucking Rhinoceros and put it away in the storage space in his smart bracelet.

Thankfully the Military Lord provided this smart bracelet for this expedition. It was a precious Intermediate-class smart bracelet too. Its storage capacity was a whopping 100 cubic meters thereabouts. It was more than sufficient to store this huge Blood-sucking Rhinoceros.

When Lu Yu saw Qin Yong and the rest of the team coming back, he instructed, “The aura of this Blood-sucking Rhinoceros is lingering here. The other weaker Fearsome Beasts will not dare come near. We can rest here for a while.”

“All right!” Qin Yong and the rest replied.

With that, the team sat down to rest while a few took turns to keep watch.

Lu Yu, however, couldn’t wait anymore and took out part of the flesh of the Blood-sucking Rhinoceros, intending to extract some butter fat to eat immediately.
