Chapter 726: Chapter 508: Settlement Instance? (First Update)

"If you encounter something indescribable, take this out. It might save your life."

Liu Zheng looked at the Dragonfly Captain fighting desperately and remembered what it had said.

Although he didn’t know if this demon Ettolrahc belonged to the indescribable, it was worth a try.

Liu Zheng took out the Golden Star Tank Medal, feeling the faint warmth emanating from it.

Like blood flowing through an artery, or the tight grip of a palm.

"How can I gain your help?"

He muttered to himself.

Soon, Liu Zheng had his answer.

If even the Dragonfly Captain could fight fiercely, why should he stand here doing nothing?

He held the rusty knife and slaughter knife in his claws, now appearing as a White Feather Chicken.

"Cluck cluck cluck!"

Liu Zheng let out a loud cry, flapping his wings and soaring into the sky.

With just one flap, he flew to the demon’s front.

There are differing views on the ancestors of chickens in reality, some say dinosaurs, others say a common ancestor with dinosaurs.

But regardless, the White Feather Chicken’s demeanor had surpassed its ancestors.

"You are? Delivery contestant, what are you doing up here?"

The Dragonfly Captain exclaimed.

"I want to compete with you, Dragonfly Captain."

Liu Zheng raised the rusty knife to block the incoming tentacle.

Even without being unlocked, it lacked lethality, but the Perfect Quality material remained unchanged.

The opponent’s power was too great; he worried the slaughter knife might be damaged, which would be a significant loss.

Sure enough, the forceful impact directly bent the rusty knife into a U shape, knocking him from the sky back to the ground.

"BOOM!"

A simple physical attack created a chemical explosion effect, leaving a crater in the ground from the residual force.

"Wow!"

Liu Zheng felt a mouthful of blood rise to his throat, which he held in his beak with his hand.

As it was a life-and-death battle, not a bit of nourishment could be wasted.

"Hee hee hee hee!"

The demon emitted a childlike laugh, but to him it sounded extremely mocking.

"Damn you, getting bound like a dog by someone, still dare to mock me?"

Liu Zheng was suddenly furious.

However, this rage wasn’t enough to unlock the rusty knife.

Instead, his words seemed to infuriate the demon, whose pupils rapidly changed, finally settling in complete redness.

"Slap!"

Like Liu Zheng, the Dragonfly Captain was slammed into the ground by a tentacle.

But it looked worse than Liu Zheng. Just one strike pierced the armor on its chest, exposing the insect inside.

"Disgusting! Kill!"

The demon expressed its discontent and raised two tentacles.

The red tentacles suddenly enlarged and twisted, transforming into a spiral drill.

The blue tentacles split into dozens of fine tendrils, becoming a strainer.

The blue strainer enveloped the Dragonfly Captain while the red drill spun rapidly at over 5000 rpm, drilling down fiercely toward it.

The tentacles appeared as flesh, but in reality were composed of a substance not found in this world, harder than even the hardest alloy known.

Combined with a speed exceeding the maximum rotation of any real-world industrial-grade high-power magnetic drill, not even a mountain could withstand it.

"Run!"

The Dragonfly Captain shouted with all its might, its red electronic eye flashing continuously.

In essence, it was indeed a biological robot, and advanced robots like it often had self-destruct means used to destroy enemies or themselves.

"Run my ass! I’m going to compete with you to see who can take down this demon first."

Liu Zheng pinned the Golden Star Tank Medal to his chest, charging at the demon once more.

The anger was still not intense enough, but he forcibly unlocked the rusty knife using the chef’s blood.

"Seven Deadly Sins·Anger" once again revealed the true form of the Dragon Scale Horizontal Blade, but the White Feather Chicken’s methods were far more extensive.

A shadow of a chef’s hat appeared above Liu Zheng’s head. He plucked a feather and pasted it, transforming the shadow into a real chef’s hat.

He then removed the chef’s hat and wiped down the blade, as if wiping away the bloodstains.

The chef’s hat transformed into countless feathers flying in the sky, while flames roared from beneath each scale of the Dragon Scale Blade.

The flames were both the furnace fire and the fiery rage, capable of cooking the hardest ingredients and burning the toughest enemies.

This fire of anger spread from the blade to Liu Zheng, setting his feathers ablaze, while the blood seeping from his pores became fuel.

"Temporary Madness ’Angry Fire Burning Body’ activated, player triggered ’Angry Fire Burning Body’ state."

The system prompt sounded.

"Mad? Being mad is good."

Liu Zheng mused comfortingly.

Other players might see temporary madness as a monstrous flood, but in this oppressive and twisted Metropolis, this temporary madness gave him a moment to breathe.

He flapped his wings, producing a sound like a sonic boom, scattering countless rain of fire in his wake.

Liu Zheng charged at the demon, the fiery chef’s knife slashing toward its cone-like nose.

Merely a demon raised by a Divine, the head chef of the Bloody Restaurant had crafted countless things more terrifying than this.

Today, he would make another flaming ice cream.

The demon’s mouth stretched into a mocking smile. Borrowed power it seemed, no matter how strong it appeared, lacking that essential element made it worthless.

Once again, its red pupils rotated, clusters of colorful lights shot from them, subjecting Liu Zheng to a bullet hell-like barrage akin to an oriental game.
