Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating-Chapter 167 - Du Feng’s Plan

167 Du Feng’s Plan

“We better retreat further away, in case we are discovered by these S-class Fearsome Beasts, and get into trouble.”

Wearing their anti-poison gas masks, the man with the protruding mouth and sallow cheeks and the others quickly moved away from the area and watched the scene from afar, the corners of their mouths curling up with cruel sneers from time to time. “Hoho! Lu Yu, it doesn’t matter if you are a Great Grand Master who is rumored to have killed a War General, you still have to die here.”

[Sawtooth Venomous Spider]

[Level: S-class (mutated)]

!!

[Introduction: After absorbing poisonous gas, it mutated and its body became gigantic. It can spew out lethal poison capable of dissolving metal.]

Lu Yu looked at the rows of tiny text before him, then glanced at the sharp spikes arranged in a sawtooth-formation on the legs of those gargantuan spiders. His figure flashed, and at the same time, he grabbed Song Yu and Qin Yong, and flung them far away.

“Lu Yu, you are trapped in there. What are you going to do?” Song Yu yelled worriedly. That was a horde of S-class Fearsome Beasts, not just one S-class Fearsome Beast.

“I’m fine. I know what to do. These S-class Fearsome Beasts only appeared at the sound of that whistle, so there is some connection with that whistle sound.” Lu Yu told them his analysis. “You guys go and look for that whistle-blowing perpetrator. He should not be far away.”

At that moment, a Sawtooth Venomous Spider’s great leg hacked down like a blade. Lu Yu’s right leg propelled himself forward and he leaped out, drawing out the Dragon Blood Battle Saber at the same time.

Gravitational Force activated! Critical Hit Enhancement activated!

As the gravitational force that was multiplied thirty times descended, a gravitational force domain crushed down, giving the bodies of these Sawtooth Venomous Spiders a violent jolt. It instantly broke one of the giant legs too.

This particular Sawtooth Venomous Spider felt the pain and spewed out greenish venom. Immediately, Lu Yu’s skin was stained green, and his movements slowed, his unsteady body on the verge of collapsing.

The rest of the Sawtooth Venomous Spiders also began spewing out greenish venom. Lu Yu’s whole body turned green, and a depressed expression appeared on his face.

“Haha… you still want to be a hero at this juncture. In the first place, the Sawtooth Venomous Spider is one of the most venomous creatures among the S-class Fearsome Beasts. Now that it has also been affected by that monster’s poisonous gas, it has mutated. This lethal toxicity can even kill a War General, not to mention a Great Grand Master.”

The man with the protruding mouth and sallow cheeks saw this and a gleeful look spread across his face. However, when he mentioned the word ‘monster’, a look of deep-seated fear flashed across his eyes.

Whish! Whish! The leg of one of the Sawtooth Venomous Spider slashed violently at Lu Yu like a barrage of swords, trying to slice him into segments.

Suddenly, Lu Yu, who was looking depressed and unsteady on his feet perked up. As his true energy circulated, the green stain on his body faded off.

The saber light of the Dragon Blood Battle Saber shot out and vanished. The enemy was sliced in half with one stroke!

[Ding! Detected that host has absorbed the Sawtooth Venomous Spider’s venom. Received: Poison Immunity +500…]

[Ding! Detected that host has absorbed the Sawtooth Venomous Spider’s venom. Received: Poison Immunity +500…]

…

The system’s tiny text kept appearing. It was as Lu Yu expected. When the venom spewed onto his body was devoured by the Gluttony Talent, he acquired Poison Immunity.

As the sprays of venom kept shooting toward Lu Yu, they were blocked by a dense web of slashing saber lights. Following that, Lu Yu leaped high into the air. As the sunlight reflected down, the snow white saber light sparkled. The gargantuan bodies of the Sawtooth Venomous Spiders collapsed one after another, causing an endless earth-shattering rumble.

Seeing Lu Yu spring back to life as lively and ferocious as a tiger when he was infected with lethal poison and on the verge of death just moments ago, the man with the protruding mouth and sallow cheeks widened his eyes, his face full of incredulity.

“How can this be? He managed to resist the venom of the mutated Sawtooth Venomous Spider!”

While still in shock, he heard the dragging sounds of footsteps. His expression changed drastically. “Oh no! We have been discovered!”

Those few guys changed their location once more. When she saw the human figures appearing on the flat ground, Song Yu’s eyes lit up and she gave a scornful smirk, “So it’s you guys stirring up trouble. Now that you have been discovered, you want to escape, is it? Not so fast!”

Song Yu and Qin Yong activated their true energy and gave chase. In a blink of an eye, they caught up to the few fleeing figures.

Seeing that a battle could not be avoided, a ferocious look flashed in the eyes of the man with the protruding mouth and sallow cheeks. He drew out a heavy sword and slashed down viciously with a fierce and overbearing aura.

The rest of the minions also whipped out their weapons and went charging at the two!

The ferocity of this group of people, as well as their well-trained cooperation were very different from those of ordinary cultivators. After exchanging a few blows, Song Yu and Qin Yong’s faces slightly changed.

Song Yu blurted out, “You guys are from the Gamma Military Zone!”

That was right. The way these people deployed their skills and attacking methods all resembled the Gamma Military Zone’s training. When they thought of this, Qin Yong said angrily, “How despicable! Instead of fighting the Fearsome Beasts to protect the people, you guys engage in this kind of dastardly deeds!” 𝑓𝔯e𝚎𝒘𝗲𝚋𝒏oѵ𝒆𝒍. c𝗼m

“Haha! You are too naive! People die for money, birds die for food. We all fight for benefits. In the face of benefits, we can even turn against close brothers, much less you guys.”

The man with the protruding mouth and sallow cheeks said in an icy tone. Then his figure leaped and the heavy sword in his hand emitted a sword energy that went slashing directly at Qin Yong.

He could tell that this guy, Qin Yong, had just broken through to the level of Great Martial Master. He would kill him first before dealing with Song Yu.

On the other side, these Sawtooth Venomous Spider suddenly hissed, and their backs wriggled. A pair of cicada wings sprouted out and they flapped their wings to fly high into the air.

Lu Yu was slightly stunned. As these giant Fearsome Beasts began swooping down from a high altitude, Lu Yu bellowed and the Red Lotus Fire Domain spread open. A barrier immediately formed over this area. Fire dragons formed from plumes of scorching fiery flames devoured all these swooping gigantic Fearsome Beasts.

Before long, they were all turned into a heap of ashes.

When the man with the protruding mouth and sallow cheeks turned his head and saw this scene, he was scared out of his wits. He was in no mood to fight anymore, so he turned tail and fled.

Lu Yu waved his hand and the Blood Emperor Battle Saber was unsheathed. As the shot of saber light tore through the air, the man with the protruding mouth and sallow cheeks, and his minions vomited blood before crumbling to the ground.

Qin Yong, who was injured, said angrily, “Captain Lu, all of these guys are from the Gamma Military Zone!”

“Oh?” A look of surprise flashed across Lu Yu’s eyes, then his face gradually turned icy cold. He could never have imagined that the people who wanted to harm him actually came from the Gamma Military Zone.

“Advisor Lu, please spare us! We had no choice! We were forced to do it! That Du Feng is responsible for all this!”

“Right, right! It’s that Du Feng fellow. He wanted to set you up and let you die in the blood-sucking wasteland, so that he can avoid all responsibility, Advisor Lu.”

These people kowtowed repeatedly and spilled the beans on the mastermind straightaway. When he heard the name Du Feng, Lu Yu felt particularly puzzled. He did not seem to have any grudge with this guy. In fact there was no connection between Du Feng and him at all. Then why would Du Feng plot to kill him?

Soon, Lu Yu discovered the reason from the man with the protruding mouth and sallow cheeks. He found it incredibly funny.

It was all because of that woman Chu Shiyu. He said, laughing through his tears, “Should I praise her for her beauty, or praise her for being a femme fatale?”

“Don’t blame us women every time you encounter trouble.” Song Yu rolled her eyes and said, “Even if that guy Du Feng somehow managed to win Chu Siyu’s heart and rise with the Chu family’s support, with his aspiration and ability, he most definitely does not deserve the position and will suffer misfortune.”
