Chapter 1454: Counterattack From the Lowest Tier of the Food Chain
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
An Lin was being tortured day after day by the threats of nature.
He felt like his suffering could not get any worse, all the way until one day, just as he was being roasted by the sun…
A black bug suddenly crawled up his body.
Its feet were a little irritating on his body.
However, that wasn’t the important thing.
It crawled up to An Lin’s head and stabbed its sharp, pointy teeth into his body.
“Ahhhh…!” An Lin howled in agony, feeling as if his head had been punctured.
The bug sucked away with elation until all of An Lin’s brain juices had been depleted.
After some excruciating torture, the bug was finally full and departed.
An Lin no longer had any brain juices left, and he continued to be roasted under the sun with a suicidal expression.
Even though he hadn’t died, this type of torture was completely unbearable to the average person.
Before one wave subsided, another way fell upon him.
Another even more sinister-looking insect suddenly flew toward An Lin. This was a locust! Locusts were renowned for devouring all plants within the areas they flew past!
This locust was even more violent than the brain-sucking bug as it tore An Lin’s body to shreds, inflicting unspeakable pain upon him.
He had been ravaged by two insects in quick succession!
The feelings of having one’s body being torn apart and chewed on were absolutely horrific!
After the locust was full, it flew away with contentment, leaving behind Gra.s.s An’s thoroughly ravaged body.
Gra.s.s An wept tears of grief and swore an oath to himself that he would never become a blade of gra.s.s again!
It was already bad enough that he was being tortured by the natural environment, but he was even being ravaged by insects now!
An Lin grumbled internally as he recovered his life force.
Excruciating pain washed over him in waves, but he simply couldn’t die.
And this was far from the end. Not only were the insects ravaging him, but even all sorts of microscopic organisms also wanted to join the party.
Some microscopic organisms made his entire body unbearably itchy, some sucked away his nutrients, some made his body rot and decay…
He had initially thought that only nature would be tormenting him here.
Looking at it now, he had been far too naive.
As an organism at the very bottom of the food chain, Gra.s.s An could be bullied by anyone!
Even the tiniest, most insignificant ant could take a bite of him whenever it wanted while looking at him with a disdainful expression.
Flex King An was now being tortured by mere ants!
Only now did An Lin realize just how difficult the life of a blade of gra.s.s was. No wonder there were often signs erected in parks telling visitors not to tread on the gra.s.s.
The life of a blade of gra.s.s is already this arduous, and you’re still going to step on it? How could you be so cruel and inhumane?
An Lin was going insane from the torture, and his thoughts were running a little wild.
However, the torment was far from over.
Torture was still being inflicted upon him by the harsh environment, as well as all types of insects and microscopic organisms. An Lin felt like he could die many times in a day, but he survived all of those instances.
This accursed resilience!
After being tortured for countless days, the seasons changed and autumn arrived.
An Lin slowly began to grow old.
His green, supple body began to turn yellow, and he became crippled by the pain a.s.sociated with an aging body.
An Lin felt like this was an ideal way to die.
However, things were not going to end like this. The weather was too dry, and a forest fire erupted…
An Lin looked on with shock and horror at the approaching flames, but he couldn’t do anything to resist. He was just an insignificant blade of gra.s.s that was powerless to do anything aside from accepting his fate!
Thus, An Lin experienced what it felt like to be burned alive.
“Ahhhh… It hurts so much! Help me!!!” An Lin screamed himself hoa.r.s.e.
The flames had charred every inch of his body and destroyed all of his cells. This was terrifying, indescribable agony.
The raging flames incinerated his entire body.
An Lin was finally reduced to dust.
Just when he thought this was the end.
He looked down to discover that his roots were still intact.
An Lin: “???”
Was there no end to this? Was there actually no f*cking end to this?!
An Lin roared in despair.
No one gave him a reply. The bugs and microscopic organisms continued to ravage him, and all he could do was absorb nutrients from the soil with all his might.
After almost being frozen to death countless times, An Lin began to grow again into a tall, resilient blade of gra.s.s.
He was astonished to find that he was even taller than before!
He was even taller than when he was at his tallest last year.
Not only was he taller, but he was also stronger!
Perhaps gra.s.s would slowly grow stronger from adversity and hards.h.i.+ps!
An Lin was more powerful now!
Please call me Strong Gra.s.s An!
He was still being ravaged by the environment and all types of living beings, but this did not deter his conviction to grow stronger day by day!
In that instant, An Lin saw hope.
What would happen if he kept on growing? Could he become so powerful that nothing would be able to hurt him anymore?
An Lin worked even harder now that he had a target.
After much effort, he really was growing more and more powerful!
Even though he was still being ravaged by insects, he now had a certain level of resistance toward the wind, rain, and sun. He was adamant that life would get better and better from now on!
He was being ravaged every day, but he was also growing stronger every day.
One year pa.s.sed after another.
An Lin became more and more exceptional.
He felt like he was very close to coming to life.
After that, he would destroy all of those accursed insects who had ravaged him in the past!
He was going to slaughter those ants, locusts, ladybugs…
An Lin was more determined than ever.
Strong Gra.s.s An died countless times, but he became more and more powerful as a result…
On one bright and beautiful morning.
“I’ve endured so much pain and worked so hard… I’m finally about to come to life…” An Lin murmured to himself.
This was going to be a counterattack. A legendary counterattack from the very bottom of the food chain!
Right at this moment, the sky suddenly fell dark.
An Lin looked up to discover a hand obscuring the entire heavens before tightening around his body and exerting an upward pull!
“No!!!” An Lin roared with shock and horror!
Rip!
Extreme agony shot through his entire body.
He had been uprooted!
The voice of a demon reverberated in his ears.
“Hehehe… This gra.s.s sure is supple and strong. It should be quite delicious in a soup…”
