Chapter 212: Chapter 148: Kazek, Overlord Alien (Two Chapters)_2

The deeper he went, Qin Shou became increasingly curious about how many unknown monsters lay beneath.

He didn’t know how much time had passed before the feeling of magma wrapping around his body suddenly vanished as he lunged forward.

Instinctively, Qin Shou looked up, and saw a golden, radiant sun shining high above.

"Back to the surface?"

Returning to his normal form, Qin Shou extended his right hand, letting the sunlight fall onto his palm, but it gave him an illusion—as if this sun wasn’t real.

Looking at the magma lake behind him and the dense greenery surrounding him, Qin Shou was momentarily baffled.

"Grass grows here too?"

He clicked on his communicator, but it showed no signal.

He had no idea where he was.

"Did I cross dimensions again?"

Qin Shou shook his head—how could such luck favor him?

He speculated that he might have entered some sort of internal Earth space.

But then, how did this sun come to exist?

Weird!

Very weird!

Despite realizing how odd this place was, Qin Shou couldn’t resist his curiosity to explore.

Chances like this were rare.

Without hesitation, he used the Reynard Transformation Card, releasing Kazek and activating stealth mode.

Safety comes first when exploring.

He then stepped forward toward the direction of the sun.

He decided not to attempt flying before understanding the situation here.

Along the way, Qin Shou kept checking the video feed relayed by Kazek.

Amid the boundless forest, Kazek didn’t uncover any particularly strange monsters.

Hmm, just oversized creatures—a two-zhang-long tiger, a five-meter-high wild boar, a ten-meter-tall Cannibal Flower...

"Tap..."

Qin Shou stepped onto a patch of glowing blue moss.

Nothing out of the ordinary for monsters.

"Hah!"

Suddenly, on the video feed, the bud of the giant Cannibal Flower abruptly lifted. Its horrifying maw opened wide, jagged fangs grinding against each other as its barbed, grotesque tongue darted out at lightning speed.

The tongue moved with an overwhelming speed, appearing in front of Kazek in the blink of an eye.

Kazek shrieked and tried to dodge, but it was already too late.

"Pff..."

The tongue pierced through Kazek’s body and then coiled around him, dragging him backward at a terrifying pace.

"Not good!"

Qin Shou was shocked—this creature could actually detect Kazek even in stealth mode!

"Greedy eater... Damn, that creature guarding the volcano—I totally forgot about it."

Cursing under his breath, Qin Shou released Brother Monkey.

"Taste this staff of mine!"

Brother Monkey stood atop the "Golden Auspicious Cloud," extending his long staff and delivering a thunderous strike on the giant Cannibal Flower’s bud.

"Boom..."

"Hah..."

The Cannibal Flower screamed in pain, its massive jaws snapping shut. Its terrifying teeth accidentally severed its own tongue as green blood spurted everywhere.

The flower’s head caved in under the strike, making it look both laughable and tragic.

Soon after, the golden "cloud" under Brother Monkey surged toward the giant Cannibal Flower.

"Zzzzz..."

Instantly, the golden mist spread out and enveloped the Cannibal Flower.

Grating, gnawing sounds filled the air, coupled with its agonized screams, as the Gold-eating Insects ignored its futile resistance and feasted mercilessly.

Meanwhile, Qin Shou leaped to catch the fallen Kazek... only to be slammed to the ground by Kazek’s massive body.

"Thud..."

Qin Shou: "..."

A moment of carelessness, yet I didn’t dodge.

"Hah..."

Kazek’s body, pierced by the huge tongue, let out weak shrieks as it teetered on the brink of death.

Seeing this, Qin Shou decisively placed him into the synthesis frame.

[Kazek] + [Second-level Mecha]

Fully metallicized, head adorned with two golden horns.

Its wings transformed into blade-like red energy wings, accented with honeycomb-like patterns.

Its forelimbs converted into ionic blade weapons with a red-gold finish.

Cost: 4,000 synthesis points. Type: Horror Four Stars Monster.

Named: League of Heroes, Kazek, Overlord Alien!

Similarity rating: 15%. Reward: Second-level Instant Acceleration Device.

"Boom..."

Energy roared to life as the newly upgraded Kazek flew out of the interface, fiercely charging at the half-devoured Cannibal Flower.

"Clang!"

With a sharp hum, a flash of red light streaked across the air—the Cannibal Flower’s anguished cries were abruptly cut short. Its bud slammed to the ground, consumed entirely by the Gold-eating Insects.

Having avenged himself, Kazek didn’t get the chance to roar triumphantly before being recalled by Qin Shou into the System Space.

Kazek: "..."

After finishing off the Cannibal Flower, the Gold-eating Insects once again transformed into a golden cloud and swarmed toward Brother Monkey.

Brother Monkey gently patted the swarm of Gold-eating Insects, smiling indulgently.

"Nice work."

Nearby, Qin Shou smirked—how did a monkey and insects even build such a friendship?

After clearing the Cannibal Flower, Qin Shou forged ahead.

This time, he dared not recklessly release Kazek.

Who knew if there were other monsters capable of bypassing his Invisibility Device?

This time it was just a mediocre Cannibal Flower—who knows what creature he might encounter next?

...

Two hours later.

Qin Shou had cut down more than ten Cannibal Flowers blocking his path, and the chances of encountering them were decreasing.

By now, he was growing bored with the area.

Other than Cannibal Flowers, were there no more interesting things here?

"Snort snort..."

A giant wild boar suddenly burst out of the dense forest, eyes glowing red as it charged furiously at Qin Shou.

Qin Shou’s face darkened—even though the boar looked tempting to eat, how was this even remotely interesting?

He raised his hand slightly and unleashed a Dragon-shaped Star Power strike.

"Roar..."

A ten-meter-long azure dragon phantom roared into existence, colliding with the charging wild boar.

"Boom..."

With the Star Power explosion, the boar’s head was blasted off, leaving its body twitching on the ground before it became still.

Time to feast!

Qin Shou grinned mischievously, rolling up his sleeves, ready to dig in.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!"

A sharp whizzing sound came through the air, prompting Qin Shou to nonchalantly swat away the incoming projectiles.

When he got a clear look at the objects that had attacked him, Qin Shou was taken aback.

Arrows?

There are people here!

And judging by the force behind the arrows—Newborn Realm, nine stars!

Just then, loud shouts could be heard from not far away.

"Quick, I think I heard something..."

"I smell blood—it’s wounded..."

After some rustling, three muscular men with cloth headbands, short tunics, and strong bows appeared before Qin Shou.

"Huh? A person."

"The clothes on him are odd, and his hair is so short. Could he be a monk who just left the monastery?"

"Probably... Hey, look—quick, look at the boar’s head..."

One of them pointed at the headless boar and exclaimed in shock.

The other two also noticed the boar’s state, their expressions stunned.

"Sir, was it you... who killed this boar?" The leading man cupped his fists in respect and cautiously asked.

He discreetly evaluated Qin Shou—seeing his youthful face and unarmed appearance, he couldn’t figure out how the boar ended up beheaded.

Meanwhile, Qin Shou was examining the three men.

Although they were Newborn Realm nine stars, their bodies lacked Star Power—their arrows were launched purely with physical strength.

This was a bit peculiar.

Judging by their clothing, they looked like extras in a period drama, but they definitely weren’t just background actors.

Calling me "Sir..."

Could this place be part of Ancient Relics?

It’s rumored that during wartime eras some villages would hide in secluded areas to avoid the chaos, then return home after the conflict subsided.

Other villages chose to remain reclusive indefinitely, year after year, eventually forming so-called Ancient Relics.

These people likely survived from ancient times into the modern world, avoiding the monster-infested Old Era.

But judging by the presence of monsters here, their life wouldn’t have been peaceful either.

Still, something didn’t add up, Qin Shou thought.

If magma surrounds this place, how did they even get here?

Could there be another entrance?

As he pondered this, Qin Shou’s eyes sparkled. With a slightly stiff cupped hand gesture, he bent forward and smiled awkwardly.

"Haha, that would be me."

The three men hurriedly waved their hands.

"Please don’t be so formal, Sir. We are not worthy."

This young man, with his fair skin and delicate appearance, clearly hailed from wealth.

Yet he greeted us, common villagers, like this? If anyone told the village chief, we’d surely face punishment.

Noticing their reaction, Qin Shou hesitated mid-action, glancing down at his own hands in confusion.

Was my gesture wrong?

Or have those period dramas deceived me?

"Ahem, may I ask where this place is?"

This time, Qin Shou skipped formalities and asked directly.

Upon hearing his question, the three men exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes brimming with doubt.

"Sir, Chen Family Village isn’t too far from here. Since you’re here, don’t you know where this is?" The leader asked skeptically.

Qin Shou shook his head and pointed toward his own temple.

The three men immediately understood, realizing this man had memory issues.

"I was ambushed and lost my memory—I don’t remember anything," Qin Shou added.

I didn’t even explain yet, but why do you already look like you "get it?"

Are you insane?
