Chapter 191 Dark Continent (Part 2)
No matter what Su Wu said, the azure dragon stopped showing itself, and Su Wu looked away in disappointment.
He discovered that this dragon had eaten people.
Its existence is not due to the influence of humans, but rather originates from itself.
Monsters like this usually don't have any spirit.
Chimera Ants didn't have Nen abilities at first; they only gained them after eating humans.
However, they didn't use it at first; it was a method of Nen training that Neferpitou obtained from some captured members of the investigation team.
This dragon... clearly lacks a proper cultivation method.
It ate people and awakened its abilities on its own, but it never thought about how to use them. Its ability level was average and not sophisticated enough, completely unworthy of the ability that could be called the power to summon wind and rain. If it had a way to cultivate Nen abilities, its strength would probably be much higher than it is now.
But Su Wu wasn't that kind-hearted; she wouldn't leave the other party with a way out.
Unless the other party runs out and immediately bows down to him as their master.
"Aren't you coming out?" Su Wu sighed. "In that case..."
Then let's kill him.
As he thought this, it suddenly occurred to him that if he killed this dragon, wouldn't it be much easier for other people going to the Dark Continent in the future? Wouldn't they avoid a calamity?
Thinking about it that way, he really is a helpful and kind person.
"Azure Dragon." He stretched out his hand, and a powerful suction force pulled the Azure Dragon, which was hidden in the deep water, up.
In the blink of an eye, it was forcibly pulled out of the water, the blue energy firmly adhering to it, not allowing it to leave.
No matter how much it wags its tail, it can't get rid of it.
"I'll give you one last chance." The white-haired boy held his hands together, parallel to each other.
"Be my pet, or..." He grinned, a smile full of madness.
"Become my food." His red eyes were filled with dark and cruel murderous intent.
Even a faint emotion called appetite seemed to surface in his eyes.
The pleasure of Ryoumen Sukuna comes from eating.
Su Wu, who inherited the other's abilities and even physique... also believes that eating is a pleasant thing.
Another enjoyable thing is fighting.
The Azure Dragon did not provide an answer, but roared, summoning dark clouds and ocean waves, as if it wanted to burn its bridges.
"It seems you've made your decision." Su Wu seemed to sigh.
Then let it become food. Although it looks like a green dragon, it is not a real green dragon after all.
Su Wu's bias against it wasn't that strong.
"Then let's taste the dragon today." He lowered his eyebrows, raised the corners of his mouth, and said in a low voice.
There seems to be a saying: "Dragon meat in heaven, donkey meat on earth?"
He's never eaten dragon before.
As the words fell, surging waves and red energy crashed down together.
"Domain Expansion - Demon-Subduing Shrine".
The crimson night replaced the gloomy sky, the red moon replaced the dark clouds, and pools of blood and pale skulls replaced the sea.
It seemed as if countless invisible, sharp attacks struck the Azure Dragon simultaneously, accompanied by a crisp, metallic sound, as the dragon scales on its body fell off one by one.
His skin, dripping with blood, was exposed below, before he was brutally beheaded. His massive head fell to the ground, and blood seemed to flow endlessly.
Another blood pool has been added within the domain.
Skinning, tendon removal, bone removal...
Ultimately, another ghastly white pile of bones appeared in the area, taller and larger than the others.
[Ding... The system detected that the host has killed a dragon. Congratulations, host, you have obtained the codename—Dragon Slayer.] The system suddenly reminded you.
"This title, could it be implying that I, the dragon slayer, will eventually become the dragon myself?" Su Wu asked, her interest piqued recently.
The system didn't reply. This guy was always incredibly quiet and rarely made a sound, so Su Wu didn't care.
The dragon slayer will eventually become the dragon himself, but before that, there is a necessary step: bathing in dragon's blood.
Only by being stained with dragon's blood can one become a dragon.
"Then I'll... take a bath." He looked at the extra pool of blood, which was neither too big nor too small, more than enough for a bath, and chuckled.
Within his domain, he controls the entire environment.
Turning a pool of blood into a steaming hot spring would only take a moment.
He removed his clothes and entered the pool of blood, feeling the perfect temperature, and let out a comfortable breath.
The dragon's blood didn't smell bad; instead, it emitted a strange, pleasant fragrance and was very clean.
Just smelling the blood is enough to imagine how delicious its flesh must be.
After soaking for about half an hour, he got up, dried himself off, changed his clothes, and dispelled the aura.
Large chunks of meat and bones were cut and fell into the water.
Su Wu used Cang to hold them back.
The Demon-Subduing Shrine is a very interesting area. Every time Su Wu kills a creature, a pile of bones of that creature and a small pool or pit of blood will appear in the area.
This depends on the strength of the creature he kills.
The piles of bones and pools of blood within the domain now number considerably more than when he first acquired it.
"This..." He frowned as he looked at the mountain of meat and bones.
The size of the meat from the 100-meter factory, after being scaled, deboned, and processed, is still measured in tons.
"...Let's finish eating quickly," Su Wu said, stroking her chin.
If you can't finish it, it won't be fresh.
Because the portion was so large, there were also three ants included this time.
The group ate to their hearts' content, with Su Wu eating with her upper body bare, letting her stomach also participate in the rice-eating process.
However, upon seeing three ants with mouths growing on a human's stomach for the first time, he suspiciously fell silent.
This guy... even in this state, he still insists he's human?
Four eyes and two mouths—what human could do that? Huh?
Maro was also seeing this for the first time, but he acted as if he didn't see it at all. He even felt that Su Wu's two hands were not enough, so he took the initiative to feed the mouth on her stomach.
So Su Wu only needed to put food into the mouth on her face with both hands.
He roughly understood why the original Ryomen Sukuna had four arms.
It's really inconvenient to use both hands, holding food in the left hand to feed one mouth and in the right hand to feed the other mouth.
The raw dragon meat slices are better than the raw fish slices, the grilled meat skewers are also quite good, and the dragon meat soup is also delicious. Maro uses more than a dozen methods to process these meats, and he doesn't even leave out the bone marrow and tendons. They all taste great, and there are no bad ones.
The group ate for most of the day, but still couldn't finish their meal.
Kong can eat 60 jin in one meal, Su Wu eats 30 jin in one meal, and Maro... his appetite is almost negligible. Three ants eat about the same amount as Su Wu.
They only ate a little over 100 kilograms of meat in one meal, which is several tons of meat... enough to feed them for at least half a month.
Maro used his ability to freeze the remaining meat, making him essentially a human freezer in the wild, used to preserve food.
"So full..." Su Wu stood at the bow of the boat, touching her flat stomach and looking at the mouth on her belly.
This mouth is much larger than the mouth on the face, and the tongue is also much larger.
Because after making a pact with the void, a mark remained on the tongue.
It looks rather evil.
He manually closed the mouth on his abdomen, wiped it away, and it disappeared.
They spent another half a month on the ship, during which time they finally finished off the meat and discovered land.
It was a vast continent that seemed to surround the waters where the ship was, stretching endlessly without end.
At the same time, the Six-Eyed One sensed the densely packed, powerful individual life forms.
Even further into this continent, in an area seemingly shrouded in a purplish-red mist, the Six Eyes could not detect any signs of life.
It's like... that purplish-red mist, which has the function of interfering with or blocking perception.
"We've finally arrived..." Su Wu and the others disembarked and stepped onto this continent.
As soon as they landed, the shoes of everyone except Su Wu melted due to the high temperature.
Having lost their shoes, their feet seemed to be standing on lava, burning red from the heat, and even faintly smelling of roasted meat.
The three ants immediately took flight, and Maro was also carried into the sky.
"..." Su Wu, who had been running the "No Limits" mode the whole time and whose feet seemed to be on the ground but actually didn't touch it at all, looked at the few panicked guys, bent down, reached out and picked up a handful of sand, and then deactivated the "No Limits" mode.
The next second, he felt the scorching heat, as if he were holding a flame in his hand. His hand was instantly burned red and a layer of skin peeled off.
"...The creatures that can live on this land must have pretty thick skin." Su Wu let go, the sand fell back to the ground, and she restarted the No Limitless Technique, healing herself with the Reversal Technique.
If their skin wasn't thick enough, they would have been scalded to death by this sand long ago.
It was still daytime when they disembarked, but when they arrived on this continent, it seemed as if night had fallen.
On this continent, neither the sun nor the moon can be seen.
Even with six eyes looking into the depths, all one could see was a thick, purplish-red mist, and the color of the mist became increasingly darker the further in one went.
It was like a completely dark area, unable to contain even a glimmer of light.
Even...flight will be restricted if it exceeds a certain altitude.
High-altitude flights are prohibited on this continent.
It's as if some being established this rule.
When Su Wu flew to a certain altitude, he felt an immense pressure falling on him, forcing him to return to the altitude at which he was allowed to fly.
Su Wu even sensed creatures that should have lived in the desert beneath this sand...
After their feet were healed, the group cautiously maintained a low-altitude flight and cautiously ventured deeper into the area.
Just in case, Su Wu set up a tent for cover, so that Maro and the others would not be discovered by any creatures.
After walking for a while, the group saw a creature that was 100 meters tall, walked on two legs, had a thick and long tail, but its forelimbs were rather small.
"Wow... dinosaurs." Su Wu exclaimed, looking at the creatures not far away.
This thing has been extinct for many years in his world; you can only see fossils of it in museums.
But at that moment, he saw a living dinosaur.
If he were a dinosaur enthusiast, he would probably be crying with excitement right now, but he isn't.
However, the dinosaurs on this Dark Continent are still somewhat different from those on Earth. For example, the dinosaurs on the Dark Continent are a bit too big.
Why are they always 100 meters tall?
Did their physical forms evolve because it's a world of superpowers?
"Boom—boom—" When the dinosaur ran, its thick lower limbs left huge footprints on the ground and caused the earth to tremble.
Then they saw turtles with spiky shells, moving around in groups, and their crawling speed was surprisingly fast.
A bird that's twenty or thirty meters long, resembling an ostrich, with antennae and hundreds of legs, and a green caterpillar as tall as a tree...
Suddenly, a red lightning bolt appeared silently in the deep purple sky in the distance.
The creatures on this continent seemed to have long been accustomed to it, and without any change, they continued to do their own thing.
Further ahead lies a mushroom forest, a mushroom forest shrouded in a purple mist.
The six eyes were rendered useless in the mist. All around were mushrooms taller than a person, but they looked quite harmless, quiet and motionless.
It was as if it were just food.
But if it were just food, how could these mushroom forests be preserved so perfectly?
And... the purplish-black mushrooms looked like they were inedible.
The mushroom forest wasn't large, and the group quickly made their way out.
After walking a little further, the group of people except Su Wu suddenly stopped.
"Cough..." "Cough cough..." Whether it was Maro, the three ants, or Kong, they all coughed.
The coughing became more and more severe, eventually causing blood to be coughed up.
And within the bloodstains, white filamentous spores could be vaguely seen.
White, fine yet hard hairs, like steel needles, began to grow on their bodies.
It was stuck very deep; every time one was pulled out, a new bloody hole would appear on the body.
"What is this?"
"What's the problem with those mushrooms?"
Maro plucked the white hairs off his body while coughing and muttering to himself.
They couldn't pluck the white hairs as fast as they grew back. The more holes they had and the more blood they bled, the faster the white hairs grew back.
In the blink of an eye, most of its body was covered in white fur.
These white hairs grew rapidly and turned into small mushrooms.
Their bodies seemed to become vessels for cultivating mushrooms, using their own flesh and blood as nourishment.
When their bodies are covered in mushrooms, that's when they die.
"...You guys seem hopeless." Su Wu observed the scene and spoke without any concern.
Even among the hopeless ones were his underling Maro and Sora, who was his pet.
"My lord..." Maro's eyes widened.
Is he really going to die like this?
"...How unwilling I am." His gloomy expression vanished, and tears suddenly streamed down his face.
"I just accompanied you here, sir..." he said, biting his lip.
If we were even more cautious...
if……
I'm so unwilling to accept this...
"Stop saying these meaningless things. You're going to die sooner or later anyway, so you might as well die by my hand." Su Wu said, taking out the Heavenly Reversal Regalia.
Coincidentally, he wanted to give it a try.
"Domain Expansion - Demon-Subduing Shrine".
"Make a pledge to me and give me your souls, how about it?" he said.
"...My soul has long belonged to you, sir." Half of the blond youth's face was covered with fungi, revealing only one emerald green eye. As he spoke, fine white hairs emerged from his mouth.
It could no longer make any sound.
"The bondage is complete." As soon as the words fell, Tian Nimu pierced his heart.
One blow kills.
His emerald green eyes dimmed, and his body collapsed heavily to the ground.
Using the same method, Su Wu defeated Kong again.
As for the three ants...
They were all incredulous to have witnessed the white-haired boy kill all his men.
Aren't they... together?
"Die now or sell your souls to me, it's up to you." Su Wu shrugged casually. "Dying at my hands doesn't necessarily mean you'll really die; I might even be able to resurrect you."
"If this continues, you are truly doomed to die."
He didn't necessarily intend to test it on them, but he felt that having more test subjects would be safer.
"If I die now... then the king will..." Xiao Yapufu gritted his teeth.
For the sake of the king, live on.
Even if I must die, I must die after rescuing the king.
"We agree." The three ants finally bowed their heads.
So Su Wu swiftly and decisively dealt with them using the Heavenly Reversal Technique.
After they died, the fungi that had been multiplying rapidly in their bodies withered and turned to ashes.
They live and die together; if the organism used as a petri dish dies before they are fully grown, they will also die.
However, once they grow, the petri dish becomes useless and will only be drained dry.
The group of people who had died physically were separated from their bodies by their souls, who stood aside watching the situation with blank expressions.
"Ah, as expected, I was able to pull your souls into my domain..." Su Wu looked at the souls, her tone full of expectation.
The act of using bondage as a bridge to pull their souls into the realm was practiced by Ryoumen Sukuna.
There's no reason why the other person can do it but he can't.
Now that I've tried it, it really works.
"Reverse Spell." Su Wu reached out and activated the skill.
The physical body was repaired, but there was still no heartbeat.
"Alright, it's time to go back." Su Wu kicked their souls back into their bodies one by one and then dispelled the domain.
The next second, several heartbeats could be heard from the spot.
The experiment was successful.
"If done properly, I can indeed be brought back to life..." Su Wu murmured thoughtfully.
The existence of the domain, the reversal technique, and the constraints that act as a bridge are all indispensable.
He couldn't do it at all when he didn't have a domain.
