"Chief Zolak, where is the rest of your tribe members? Quickly tell me!" Duan Li turned around and asked.
Hearing his Lord benefactor calling him out, the old komodo swiftly replied, "Eh? I"ve told them to gather at the nearest hot spring pool right over there.. so they should be there by now.."
He pointed to a certain direction using his tail.
Tracing along the direction pointed by the tail, Duan Li saw a ma.s.s congregation of komodos by the distance that were hudling together inside a hot spring pool, remaining rooted in there due to their fear of the Heaven"s punishment.
"The distance is not too far since my perception could detect it, so even if I can"t fly.. I have the movement skill art!"
One-Step to Reach!
Ssuuu!!
Within a few moments, Duan Li reappeared in front of the bunch of komodos, this caused most of them to roared out instinctively.
ROARR!!
"Hold up guys, I know this human.. he is a friend of Bulu!" a komodo said as it stepped out from the crowd, this was the very same senior komodo that had identified Bulu when they first arrived at the tribe earlier on.
Very quickly, a commotion broke up between them.
"Eh? You mean.. the one that fixed the chief? So this is that capable human?"
"So what? We are all going to die anyway! Look at the sky! This human must be the cause for it all!"
The komodos began to converse with one another, most of them felt wary towards Duan Li.
"Alright listen up, I know that you guys don"t really trust humans that much, but I don"t really care. My promise to your chief is to make all of you stronger! So here you go!" Duan Li said as he hurriedly took out a bottle containing his blood and dropped a few droplets into the hot spring.
Tissssss...
"Eh? AHHHHHH!!"
Agonized roars began to echoed out towards the surrounding as every single komodos inside the hot spring pool writhed out in pain!
Then, with a wave of his hand, fine threads of spiritual Qi began to spread out from the tip of his fingers and entered the spring pool. Duan Li intended to hasten the body tempering process himself!
Dugu Liubai"s mind was already blank from everything that he was witnessing, thus when he saw this, he could not help but to swallow another mouthful of his saliva, his disbelief deepened even further.
"This fellow quickly turned around just to torture harmless creatures right after being punished by the Heavens? Devil! This fellow is the reincarnation of the devil himself!"
Based on his soul sense, he knew that those few droplets of blood were from the One Hundred Thousand graveyard pool!
How did he even procured those?!
Furthermore, even if it were to be fully diluted into the hot spring pool, the potency alone would still be enough to kill normal monsters in a heartbeat!
He had already considered himself as a ruthless and cold-hearted person, but even he would not think of doing such a satanic act like this!
F*ck me!
However, when he observed the actions of Duan Li carefully, he noticed that the sets of action the other party did has a certain pattern to it!
"He.. is body tempering them? What sort of technique is that?" he widened his eyes.
...
"Alright Zhulong, do your job now! Hurry up before the dark cloud dissipate completely! We musn"t let them get away!" Duan Li urged the latter.
We musn"t let them get away?
"Master, it can"t be that you.. intend to attract the Heaven"s wrath once more?" Zhulong"s beak dropped.
If there was anyone that claimed to have a pair of b.a.l.l.s made out of steel, he will never believe them other than his master!
With a slight grunt, Zhulong immediately released his powers and helped the komodos form their second core to be used as relay for their spiritual Qi.
Tsszzz!
This way, according to their original plan, the Komodos would have reached an extra stage in their realm!
"Heaven"s Will! Look, I help these monsters achieve new stage in their realm!" Duan Li bellowed out excitedly, waiting for more lightning bolts to struck at him so he that could absorb them.
...
"Empress Luo.." Elder Jun Xi sighed, not knowing what to say.
The fellow was just too shameless!
"Ignore him, or else we will play right into his trap. Wrap things up and move on to the other pending task!" Empress Luo replied indifferently as she waved her hand.
In her opinion, the act that Duan Li did this time around was minor and doesn"t warrant Heaven"s punishment to descend down. After all, constructing relay core was artificial and only temporary.
Then, an Elder of the committee could not help but to voice out his thoughts.
"Empress Luo, about that guide book.."
"..." Empress Luo.
"..." Everyone else.
...
"Eh? They are still not striking me back?" Duan Li furrowed his brows and saw that the dark clouds continued to recede even further before dissipating altogether.
d.a.m.n it! There goes my chance..
Hais!
Huuu..
"Master.. its finished!" Zhulong by the side said.
"Eh.. well done!" Duan Li turned around and nodded as he cupped his chin.
Oh well, at least our original objective is now achieved!
As for the Heaven"s Will.. when they do send down the guide book to me.. hurhurhur.. I"ll make sure to use it thoroughly!
List of not to do or else it will call upon the wrath of Heavens?
Yeah right, I"ll specifically do those banned stuff just to call the lightning tribulation and absorb them!
"Hahahahaha!" Duan Li bursted out in laughter. After all, it was a solid plan!
"Master.." Zhulong shook his head. Judging from that deranged laughter, it was apparrant that this master of his was up to no good.
"So.. what do you guys think of your newfound power? Although its only temporary, you guys should know better on the advantage of being one step ahead of your opponents!" Duan Li said to the bunch of komodos. They were still processing the events that just happened.
It was a quick and painful process, but the result was beyond their expectations!
"Awesome! Hahahaha! Now I"m at the late stage of the Foundation establishment realm!"
"Me too! Now we can beat those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!"
"Late stage? I"ve reached the pinnacle stage! Hahaha!"
"Hey look, the chief is coming!"
From the distance, Chief Zolak could be seen bolting through the field with his four legs. The latter seemed to be very happy with the artificial leg and tail that Duan Li made for him, as he could control them to the minute detail like it was there since he was born!
Behind the chief was Bulu, also running along but with a pair of legs just like humans instead of four. On his arms, was Di Rou. Since both Duan Li and her stamina had decreased down to a mortal"s right after entering the second region, it makes sense to use Bulu as a means of transport, just like how they used the latter as a boat before.
Meanwhile, Daelius had already arrived beside Duan Li due to its lightning-like speed! On top of its head was Cucko, perching complacently as if a King that was riding his ultimate mount!
Dilong on the other hand was always within Duan Li, so she simply reappeared right beside him.
"Ohh.. everyone"s powers..! I could feel that everyone has made a complete breakthrough!" Chief Zolak could not help but to feel emotional as he arrived.
"Yes, father-in-law! Now that we have this strength.. we can finally avenge our family!" Bulu swiftly said, his pair of eyes was alighted as if flames that was continuously being fed with oil!
Chief Zolak nodded excitedly, turning to everyone, he said with a domineering voice, "Let us march to their nestling ground and trample everything to dust!"
ROAARRRR!!
