LRAB Chapter 16 Orcs
Chapter 16 Orcs
Looking at his crazed and demonic appearance, the teacher who knew about chameleons began to vividly describe the situation of this abnormal chameleon to everyone, which made everyone treat the person in front of them as if he were a formidable enemy, maintaining a high degree of vigilance against danger.
"This guy was initially a prodigy with extraordinary talent. His innate full soul power was as dazzling as a star, and he never used his color-changing talent to do evil. However, after he reached level 29, his cultivation stagnated like stagnant water, as if he was imprisoned by an invisible force!"
"Until 12 years ago, when he led a team of young people who were preparing to obtain the first ring, he returned as if he had lost his memory, forgetting that he had ever taken on this mission. Although all the children returned safely, their foundations were damaged, and they were in a daze, as if they had lost their souls."
"This chameleon guy also went crazy until the Academic Affairs Office discovered that he was actually conducting horrifying human experiments!"
"He attempted to forcibly integrate the bloodline of soul beasts into human bodies in order to obtain greater power. Most of the students he taught in the past could not escape his clutches."
"Shut up, you brat!" The chameleon roared in fury. "What do you know! These are all the will of the Father God. Humans are physically weak, and their cultivation progress is like a snail's crawl, while the bloodline of soul beasts is incredibly powerful. Possessing the bloodline of a soul beast will definitely lead to rapid cultivation, like a roc spreading its wings, making one stronger than others of the same level!"
Upon hearing this part of the story, Wu Heyi couldn't help but sigh, "This madman isn't suited to be a Soul Master; he'd be better suited for scientific research. He was truly born at the wrong time. But how did he know that the talent of a human and a Soul Beast combined would be stronger than that of their peers?"
The story continues...
"My son is my latest masterpiece!"
A humanoid creature, which could not be described as human, stood beside him. It looked somewhat foolish, as if it were a monster that had come out of hell.
However, the pressure it exerted was like Mount Tai crushing an egg, especially the way it stared at everyone's martial spirits; its gaze seemed to penetrate one's soul.
At this point, Mi'er and the others no longer cared about standing up for the injured child; all they wanted to do was slip away.
The group exchanged glances, and as if on cue, each grabbed a child and fled in panic like startled birds.
The chameleon immediately called out to its cub beside it:
"Go after whoever you like!"
The frog-headed boy glanced up at the chameleon, croaked excitedly, and suddenly propelled himself forward like an arrow, chasing after Mi'er at lightning speed.
"what!"
A long, whip-like tongue lashed out at Mi'er like lightning. Without turning her head, Mi'er drew her bow and nocked an arrow, and dozens of arrows flew towards the tongue like a swarm of locusts.
These are arrows without any added soul skills, so they are like scratching an itch through a boot, and don't have much effect.
At most, it can only block movement and hinder tracking.
Seeing that Mi'er was being chased, the two teachers also used their soul skills to try to reduce some of the risks for Mi'er.
But for some reason, the frog-headed boy gave up after chasing for a while, which allowed Mi'er to escape back to the academy.
Wu Heyi guessed that the frog-headed boy was the product of a chameleon combining its genes with some kind of soul beast.
The most likely scenario is that they were formed as half-humans or beastmen. Wu Heyi never expected that such a species would be studied in that world.
As time passed, Wu Heyi led his hundred-man team and was about to reach the area where Mi'er and the others were hunting.
Wu Heyi signaled everyone to be careful, because the opponent was a special creature that could devour the martial souls of others.
Once a martial soul is devoured, there is a very high chance that one's cultivation will be directly destroyed.
Therefore, everyone is walking on thin ice, fearing that they will be the ones to run into trouble.
Wu Heyi racked his brains, trying to figure out how to create such a special humanoid creature in this relatively technologically backward era.
Wu He had only ever seen this kind of artificial human behavior in a certain highly acclaimed anime, but the production environment there was far superior to that of Douluo Continent.
As they cautiously explored, Wu He and his group slowly approached the hunting area. However, at that moment, a chilling scene unfolded before their eyes. A person, using their own genetic material and a special method, was injecting it into round, faintly glowing eggs. These eggs emitted a dim green light; upon closer inspection, they were all frog eggs.
A huge, densely packed area, it looked extremely unsettling.
The man nourished the frog eggs with his soul power, which acted as a catalyst, rapidly promoting the development of the organisms within the eggs. Before long, all sorts of young hatched.
However, most of the cubs took the form of soul beasts. The man didn't even look at them, and with a swift stroke, he killed those soul beast-like cubs and threw them to the frog-headed humanoid creature beside him to eat.
Each time it devours an abandoned offspring, the frog-headed humanoid creature's strength increases by about half a level. To be honest, this is much faster than an ordinary person painstakingly cultivating.
Thousands of these eggs hatched successfully in a short time, but only one humanoid creature, somewhat similar to the frog-headed boy, was born.
However, at the same time, the humanoid creature's wildness did not seem to have been extinguished; it wanted to devour the chameleon as soon as it saw it.
Without the slightest hesitation, the chameleon swiftly and decisively dispatched the creature with a swift and clean motion.
It can be said that it fully demonstrates ruthlessness.
It's unclear which member of the team couldn't hold back, but a nauseating sound rang out. The chameleon turned around, its face revealing a fierce glint, but its expression was one of extreme greed.
It was as if he were looking at a group of lab rats, not humans, that he was looking at at any time. His gaze, as cold as a biting wind, caused many of the previously enthusiastic group to back away as if electrocuted, their hearts already filled with fear like startled birds.
Fighting was commonplace for them, but that look in his eyes made them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, instantly making them understand the difference between life and death.
For a group of eleven or twelve-year-old children, this was no ordinary fight, and it's only natural that they would be afraid.
Wu Heyi had a premonition when he set off that this might not be an ordinary conflict.
He never expected things to be so complicated, otherwise he wouldn't have let his underlings follow him.
Wu Heyi gave a wink, as if to say, "Those who can't bear the consequences can retreat first, because there are some things they might...."
But those people seemed to be frozen in place, hesitatingly glancing at their companions. Seeing that no one was backing down, they were too embarrassed to leave.
This made Wu Heyi feel very embarrassed. Children of this age are too loyal and easily act impulsively in dangerous situations.
