Chapter 227 - Stone Monkey Battles Queen
Chapter 227: Stone Monkey Battles Queen
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
A group of pitch-black shadows appeared like ghosts, surrounding Feng Lin and sisters.
They had sharp protruding fangs like blades, heads as tough as shields, and hideous-looking bodies like that of the devils. They surrounded and guarded the aberration queen like the imperial guards putting their lives on the line.
Over 20 aberration guards surrounded them. As the strongest force in the nest, they gave Feng Lin and the sisters tremendous pressure.
Even if these guards could not use any extraordinary abilities, their vitalities had surpassed 70 and were very terrifying.
Feng Lin was secretly taken by surprise.
Aberrations were really living weapons. It was really beyond one’s imagination to just rely on reproductions to produce such terrifying lifeforms.
Screech!
The aberration queen’s massive body kept twisting as it roared in a piercing manner.
The entire mother nest started trembling.
Under the lead of the aberration guards—the facehuggers, the messenger-types, the soldier-types—all of them surged out like tidal waves, wanting to drown Feng Lin and the sisters completely.
Many mysterious black shadows kept flashing past, licking their fangs and claws in the darkness, waiting for the chance to make a move.
They were ready to pounce out at any moment, wanting to tear these fresh blood and flesh into pieces then swallowing them up.
“End the battle quickly!” The three of them exchanged a glance and immediately came to a decision.
The mother nest had been completely alarmed and there was no longer a need for them to conceal themselves.
Countless aberrations woke up from their slumber. If things dragged on for too long, it would be hard for them to leave.
The three of them didn’t hold back and pounced toward the aberration queen.
The queen let out a sharp cry, and an army of aberrations came to block their paths.
Big!
Feng Lin held the metal cudgel tightly with both hands, and the spirit force gushed crazily into it. The metal cudgel grew rapidly in his hands, sweeping away the entire army with great force.
Three sneaking figures had gotten close and were about to launch a sneak attack when they were instantly crushed into meat paste.
Their abilities to meld into the environment seemed like a joke before Feng Lin’s all-pervasive spirit force, being completely ineffective.
Tyrant Ten Palms!
Aris made a move as well, as she put her hands together before her chest. Tyrant aura seethed behind her endlessly, forming a huge human-shaped figure whose palms were also together.
Crackle crackle!
The palms pressed over like huge walls. When the aberrations were caught, they would instantly be clenched into meat paste.
Aris was protecting Yana who was behind her. Her tyrant aura materialized and formed a huge shell. All over the place, the aberrations would be crushed. It was extremely fierce.
Feng Lin and Aris both performed harsh killing moves. But the mother nest, being the headquarters for the aberrations, was filled with endless monsters and there was no end to them.
“Someone must block the aberrations and then another assassinate the queen! Otherwise, given how there is no end to these aberrations, as time drags on, we’ll be trapped here.” Yana understood the situation well and spoke in a deep voice.
However, all three of them fell silent thereafter.
The plan was very simple and good, but who was going to be the one to do it?
Assassinating the queen was an extremely dangerous task. If there was any carelessness, the person would face the danger of losing their life.
Even Aris, who had always been a reckless person with a strong inclination for battle, was silent now.
It was not as if she was scared!
It was just that her elder sister Yana’s battle prowess was insufficient to protect herself, and thus she mustn’t leave Yana’s side in case Yana were to encounter danger.
“Let me do it!” Feng Lin said calmly, breaking the silence.
The Greek sisters’ eyes opened wide when they heard that. All along, Feng Lin had given them the impression of being cold and rational. They hadn’t expected that he would take the initiative.
This person was just an interstellar cultivator, right? Where did he get the courage from, to assassinate a small aberration queen that was equivalent to an initial-phase elite cultivator?
Was this person dauntless or did he have something to back him up?
“You guys have thought too much.”
Although Feng Lin couldn’t read other people’s hearts, he could guess what they were thinking from their surprised expressions. Feng Lin revealed a faint smile, knowing what was appropriate.
Although this small aberration queen possessed the battle prowess of an initial-phase elite cultivator, he had fought against a number of elite cultivators in the past. His vitality was very high, being at 218; therefore, he would be in no way weaker than them.
Even if he couldn’t win against the opponent, it shouldn’t be too hard for him to leave with ease.
He was going to see what this aberration queen was capable of.
After understanding the principles behind the Mythology Deduction Method and Mythology Conclusion Method, Feng Lin had comprehended new things.
In order to progress on their respective mythological paths, not only must one grasp their genetic powers, but their hearts must also be in sync with the powers in order to release the full potential of the mythological genes.
Sun Wukong’s entire life needed not to be spoken in a thousand words nor described in ten thousand words. Three words would suffice!
Fight!
Battle!
Win!
...
All sorts of thoughts along this line kept flashing past Feng Lin’s heart.
Feng Lin didn’t show any more hesitations and let out a cold bellow, “Open up a path for me!”
Aris didn’t show any hesitation either and instantly made a move.
Ares’s Spear!
Aris’s hands grabbed out, and her tyrant aura extended to form a pitch-black longspear that pierced out fiercely. It was as if the legendary god of war Ares was seated on the chariot, holding a longspear and piercing through his enemies fiercely as he advanced forth without stopping.
The guard-types were extremely fast and they came pouncing over like malicious ghosts. Their claws were sharp and their long tongues also shot out agitatedly like spears.
Pffft!
Although Aris’s longspear was created from formless tyrant aura, they seemed almost material and extremely sharp.
As the spear pierced out, it penetrated through everything. It entered the mouths of those aberrations, piercing through them fiercely and making them appear like a skewer of tanghulu [1].
Aris’s countenance turned slightly flushed, and she exerted force in both her arms like the ancient Hercules. She flicked all the aberrations on the longspear and sent them flying out and falling to the ground, creating a path amongst the army of aberrations.
“Go!” She let out a furious bellow.
(What a violent woman!)
Even Feng Lin was taken by surprise by her vicious battle prowess.
However, there wasn’t time for him to have any exclamations. This was a chance not to be missed.
Without any hesitation, he leaped ten meters into the air like an agile monkey.
All of Feng Lin’s power was gathered onto his hands and he raised the metal cudgel high. He arched his back, looking like a monkey in the legends that had wreaked havoc in the heavens. He sent the metal cudgel smashing down, wanting to crush this aberration queen.
Boom!
The cudgel came down with heavy impact as if the heavenly pillar had collapsed, destroying everything. Stifled sounds rang out in the air.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Loud howls rang out in all directions.
When those aberrations saw that their queen was threatened, all of them pounced forth, blocking in front of her with their bodies.
“Scram!” Feng Lin’s brows raised and he sent his metal cudgel smashing down heavily.
Kacha kacha!
The shells of those aberrations cracked and were crushed by the heavy pressure from the metal cudgel. Their bodies turned into meat paste, but they also managed to successfully fend off Feng Lin’s attack.
Countless aberrations gushed forth like waves.
Feng Lin swung his metal cudgel, creating whirlwinds and sending the aberrations flying away. He killed his way toward the queen single-handedly with his cudgel.
The queen was hidden in the darkness and Feng Lin hadn’t been able to see her clearly prior to this. As he got closer, her appearance was revealed.
A hideous-looking monster with many tentacles sat in the cold and humid environment. Her tentacles crossed to form something like a spider web that propped up her huge body. The bulging reproduction organ at her stomach kept on wriggling non-stop, as if living creatures were going to come out at any moment.
Screech!
The aberration queen sensed that she was in danger and let out a piercing cry. She kept slapping out her tentacles that were covered in the smelly viscous liquid.
Feng Lin instinctively struck out with his metal cudgel. The tentacles felt extremely soft and they wrapped around the metal cudgel like pythons, refusing to let go.
A massive force came surging over and the tentacles stuck to the metal cudgel like glue, causing it to be incapable of going down any further.
Feng Lin’s face was flushed red and he started to compete with the aberration queen in strength.
However, this power was extremely huge and endless. Even he wasn’t a match for her.
Feng Lin was secretly taken by surprise. He rapidly controlled the metal cudgel to shrink its size, breaking free from the restraints.
However, the queen’s tentacles came wrapping toward him with great flexibility. Regardless of how the metal cudgel changed in size to become bigger or smaller, it would immediately be entangled.
The moment they exchanged blows, the queen had displayed her strength to Feng Lin, causing him to be unable to perform his staff arts which had been invincible until now.
As expected of the aberration queen that was born at the elite cultivator level. Even though she didn’t have much battle prowess, just her innate vitality attribute was already something that ordinary interstellar cultivators wouldn’t be able to deal with.
It was impractical to want to deal with her within a short period of time.
“Change!” With a thought, the Measureless Divine Metal Cudgel rapidly became smaller, turning into a long blade that rested in Feng Lin’s hand.
Although staff arts and saber arts were different, ancient martial arts were mostly evolved from how people used weapons to kill. Therefore, they were easy to be reconstructed.
The Eight Trigram Palm had been developed through a similar process.
Feng Lin used the saber to perform the Eight Trigram Palm, slashing about with extremely simple moves. However, under his strength, the prowess was tremendous. The queen’s tentacles were chopped and landed on the ground as blood splattered. An extremely pungent smell was released in the air.
A few drops of blood would occasionally land on Feng Lin, causing him to feel intense pain as if he was burned by fire.
The queen’s acidic blood was far more corrosive than the blood of other aberrations.
Feng Lin stimulated the Stone Monkey Gene and his entire body became as tough as stone. He fended off the acid and his saber pierced out the queen’s stomach.
That spot, being the reproductive organ, was the weakest and it was also a vital spot for the queen.
The queen’s body was only ten meters long and just her reproductive organ alone had taken up a large part of her body. This made her very clumsy and hard for her to move.
The queen’s eight sharp claws grabbed out fiercely when her critical spot was being attacked. Her big mouth released a screech that had such an unbearable high pitch. Her sharp teeth also bit fiercely toward Feng Lin.
A loud bang rang out!
The sharp claws and long saber clashed.
As a result, the claws were chopped off and dropped heavily onto the ground.
The saber attack was also stopped.
In great pain, the aberration queen lashed out her remaining tentacles and sharp claws fiercely, wanting to tear this abominable person who had injured her into pieces.
Feng Lin retreated rapidly.
As the mother of all aberrations, the aberration queen shared a common trait with all aberrations. Although her body couldn’t move, she was still difficult to deal with. Her tentacles and sharp claws waved about, forming a millstone of blood and flesh. Anything that landed within it wouldn’t end up in good plight.
Clouds appeared under Feng Lin’s legs, propping him high into the sky and allowing him to move about with great agility as he looked for a loophole to attack.
The aberration queen’s tentacles and sharp claws waved non-stop but were still unable to grab hold of Feng Lin at all. She only felt that this inferior creature was very sneaky and hard to grab; thus, she let out enraged cries.
Pffft pffft pffft!
The huge reproductive organ under her stomach kept on wriggling non-stop, and an octopus-like monster was suddenly born. The moment it was born, it flapped its wings and flew like a bat with its body still stained with the powerful acid. It was a mutated facehugger.
Many facehuggers were densely-packed together like dark clouds, and they came pouncing toward Feng Lin.
Bzz!
The space here tremored.
Feng Lin’s spirit force gushed out, turning into invisible hands that crushed all the facehuggers. The shattered flesh fragments and acidic blood splattered all over the ground.
However, the aberration queen’s organ kept on moving non-stop as if it was a reproduction machine that wouldn’t stop. Flying facehuggers kept on coming out and crowding over.
Feng Lin’s spirit force was being depleted rapidly and he was left in a stalemate.
This was a competition between both sides’ brute strength.
Kacha kacha!
The aberration queen used its tentacles to sweep up the flesh pieces from the facehuggers into her mouth and then started to chow down to replenish her energy.
(Is this recycling trash?)
Feng Lin cursed in his heart, thinking that this aberration queen would be very difficult to handle.
(And this is a small-scale queen with no battle prowess?)
Although this aberration queen was just a reproduction machine, she had a powerful constitution and astonishing vitality. Even her instinctive resistance also had terrifying battle prowess. The moment she made a move, she brought Feng Lin tremendous trouble.
Pffft pffft pffft!
Suddenly, Feng Lin loosened his spirit force and slowed down his attack.
Those flying facehuggers gushed out through the gaps like tidal waves, instantly pouncing onto Feng Lin, stacking up in layers and drowning him completely, forming a mountain of flesh that wriggled non-stop.
Feng Lin, being buried inside, only felt as if his face was covered by sticky rotten flesh, and pungent corrosive liquid flowed down his entire body.
The facehuggers’ sharp mouths kept drilling as they tried to make their way into Feng Lin’s body.
However, Feng Lin had already known of the danger involved. The moment they made their way in, his body would be planted with aberrations’ spawn, becoming a bed that nurtured aberrations’ growth.
He stimulated the Stone Monkey Gene to an extreme, closing all of the pores and apertures all over his body, including his mouth, nose, eyes, and ears, not leaving a single gap.
Feng Lin took on the form of a stone figure, not allowing the facehuggers to have their way.
“Open!” How could Feng Lin be restrained? He gathered his powers, letting them settle like the magma in a volcano, then instantly allowing them to erupt. Seething air currents and forces threw all the facehuggers away from his body and sent them flying.
He continued to pounce toward the queen with great agility, engaging in battle.
The aberration queen groveled on the ground, swinging its tentacles and sharp claws non-stop. She was like a demon that was dancing wildly, clashing head-on with the metal cudgel. Clanking sounds that sounded as if there were clashes from metal rang out, and aberrations kept on coming in from all directions and attacked Feng Lin.
Feng Lin single-handedly fought against the aberration queen with his cudgel. Each time they collided, a massive force would surge forth and he would be forced to back off.
The aberration queen was a massive creature that was over ten meters in height after all. Due to the great difference in the size of their bodies as well as the queen’s great innate power, Feng Lin faced a tremendous pressure.
He dodged the tentacles that the queen sent toward him while concurrently performing staff arts, shattering the aberrations that came to attack him and trying to get closer to the queen.
Bang bang bang!
The metal cudgel struck on the queen’s tough shell and banging sounds rang out. However, there was no actual damage done to the queen at all.
Feng Lin’s countenance turned increasingly grim.
The queen’s attacks were purely instinctive but that was already very terrifying. Moreover, she had a sturdy shell and was very troublesome to deal with. It was very difficult to want to break through the defense.
Screech!
The aberration queen kept on suffering consecutive attacks and was thoroughly enraged. Her reproductive organ kept on wriggling, giving birth to scary monsters in succession. Those monsters were able to start running around the moment they were born, and all of them pounced toward Feng Lin.
Feng Lin was unafraid and met them with his cudgel. He was like the legendary stone monkey with toughened muscles and bones, and was invulnerable. He swung his metal cudgel, facing the great army with unrivaled prowess.
The stone monkey battles the aberration queen!
Faced against such a horrifying biochemical monster, Feng Lin didn’t have any advantage both in terms of his body size and strength. However, as the battle continued to worsen, the will in his heart grew exponentially.
Gradually, he understood the true essence of ‘fight, battle, win’!
To fight and to battle...
To battle and to win!
