Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City -
Chapter 412 - 411: Mysterious
Chapter 412: Chapter 411: Mysterious
Lin Hao was completely baffled, Poison Rose and Ziyue were baffled as well.
Speaking beasts weren’t something strange, for Lin Hao had seen many in his past life as Immortal Emperor.
However, to be precise, it wasn’t really a beast but rather a sentient being evolved from a beast, having absorbed the essence of heaven and earth and the Primordial Qi of the universe, evolving its intellect and becoming a new species.
This one in front of him wasn’t like those spiritual beasts Lin Hao had seen before; on the contrary, it looked merely like a beast devoid of Spiritual Energy.
Yet, this creature could actually talk!
Not only did it talk, but it spoke perfect Beijing dialect!
This dialect, nowadays, even a genuine foreigner couldn’t achieve such a flavor. Were it not for the long-haired lion kneeling before him, Lin Hao might have thought the speaker was a person from the Capital of Huaxia.
How strange.
Strange things happen every year, but this year seems particularly abundant. Something peculiar permeates both the inside and outside of Resurrection Island.
Even Lin Hao, once an Immortal Emperor, had never seen so many oddities.
Could this reborn world truly be different from his previous life?
Lin Hao remained suspicious and vigilant as he watched the long-haired lion.
Similarly, Poison Rose and Ziyue were utterly confused, staring blankly at Lin Hao.
"Save me, please save me, I am willing to give you everything I possess—treasures, I have many, many treasures! If you save me, I will give them all to you, treasures unlike anything you have ever seen, what Spiritual Artifacts, top-notch Spiritual Artifacts, they are mere trash compared to these treasures! Just save me, I’ll give it all to you!"
The long-haired lion, seeing Lin Hao and the others unmoving, grew increasingly frantic, kneeling on all fours and continuously smashing its head into the ground, soon creating a bloody, immense pit.
Truly bizarre.
Lin Hao looked at the prostrating long-haired lion, pondering briefly, "How can I save you?"
"It’s, it’s simple, I, just need a knife to peel off my skin, and I shall be reborn, quick, quick, there’s no time, it’s almost too late!"
The long-haired lion was nervous and anxious, as if wishing it could snatch the knife Lin Hao was carrying and peel its own skin.
Unfortunately, the long-haired lion had claws instead of hands, utterly incapable of holding a knife or peeling its own skin.
"Don’t believe him! There are traps everywhere on this Resurrection Island, pitfalls everywhere, and even a Sky-breaking Expert could lose his life carelessly. Better to just kill it!" Poison Rose watched the long-haired lion with vigilant eyes, not believing its words at all.
"I think Rose has a point, in a place like this, one can’t trust a single punctuation mark spoken by such bizarre creatures! Better to prioritize safety." Even Ziyue flashed a hint of murderous intent in her eyes.
"Big brother, and the beautiful ladies, I really didn’t lie to you, I have lots of treasures, truly many treasures, and I am willing to give them all to you, just save me! Please believe me, or it’ll be too late. Once you save me, the treasures are yours! I dare say, with these treasures, even Lin Hao won’t be your match!"
"Think about it, treasures that can make you even mightier than Lin Hao, don’t you at least feel tempted? If I die, you won’t get those treasures!"
"Quick, quick, it’s too late, it’s too late! Ah, help, help!!"
Suddenly, the long-haired lion started rolling on the ground in agony, its limbs flailing wildly as if trying to grab something, yet grabbing nothing.
"Bring the knife!"
Without much thought, Lin Hao reached out and grabbed a dagger from Poison Rose, his figure flashed and with one foot, he pinned down the long-haired lion. With a flick of his wrist, the knife fell in one swift motion, perfectly cutting off a piece of the lion’s skin.
"This is..."
```
Only beneath the lion’s hide, it was not flesh and bones, but a person!
However, the entire lion seemed like a huge stomach, with that person inside being digested by the bloody viscous gastric juices, their skin already eroded, and their flesh and blood blurred, looking extremely disgusting and horrifying.
Underneath the lion’s hide, there was actually a person!
It appeared to be a Huaxia person,
Lin Hao no longer hesitated and carefully made another cut.
Another piece of lion’s hide was cut off, but the person inside screamed in agony, the shriek unbearably piercing.
"Something’s wrong..."
Lin Hao made a cut and immediately stopped.
Below this lion’s hide, it not only resembled a stomach digesting the person inside, but now it seemed like the person inside was merging with the lion’s hide as one!
At this moment, where the flesh was blurred, the person’s skin, flesh, and bones had already fused with the lion’s hide, and moreover, the fusion was happening very rapidly.
What on earth is this?
Lin Hao was shocked, and with several cuts, what he cut off was no longer the lion’s flesh, but the flesh and blood of the person inside!
By the time Lin Hao separated that person from the lion’s hide, half of the person’s body was left, their skin nearly all dissolved like by strong acid, exposing the white bones underneath, the person had long since lost any sign of life.
"What is going on!" Poison Rose was terrified as she looked towards Lin Hao, the sight before her was too bizarre and shocking, she couldn’t understand it at all.
Not just her, Poison Rose, but even Ziyue and Lin Hao had no idea what was going on.
Ziyue had lived for ten thousand years, she knew about mutations, she herself was a mutated human, but that was through tens of thousands of years of mutations, and this situation was completely different.
And Lin Hao, once an Immortal Emperor, had been to the Eternal Life Realm.
But, he had never seen such a strange occurrence.
A human is a human, a beast is a beast. Even if the cultivation techniques were bizarre, had never heard of one that could fuse humans and beasts together, and this person, now, did not choose to become like this.
What on earth did he go through?
Lin Hao furrowed his brows slightly and turned his head towards the stone slab like stone.
At this moment, the stone had returned to its former appearance, ordinary, quietly inserted askew in the soil, completely not showing any special traces.
"Could it be, something inside this Great Secret Realm that can transform a person like this?" Ziyue looked towards Poison Rose.
But Poison Rose was completely clueless, the news of the Great Secret Realm had indeed come from her, but she only knew a little bit, completely unaware of the details inside.
"I... I don’t know." Poison Rose answered.
While Lin Hao looked at the corpse on the ground and the tattered lion’s hide, suddenly furrowed his brows, crouched down, and with his dagger scooped out a lump that resembled a hand from what was still arguably a human corpse, gently pulling it.
Only to see a silver-glittering ring roll out from the lump.
"Storage Ring."
This ring, emitting the aura of space, Lin Hao recognized at a glance, this was a Storage Ring, and moreover, its inner space was not small!
