In the arena, the buffalo was pressing down on its companion, moving suddenly with convulsions throughout its body, frothing at the mouth, and falling to the ground.
However, its body did not separate from its companion; under the effect of some enigmatic force, it clung tightly to its companion. Then the flesh and blood from its body rapidly transferred into its companion through the connected area, uncontrollable, unstoppable.
The buffalo cried out in terror, but it was useless. It watched helplessly as its body continuously shriveled as if shrinking, eventually becoming skin and bones, leaving only a skeletal frame.
This was still not the end. The transfer of flesh and blood continued; the last part could not be held back and flowed into its companion’s body. The buffalo’s eyes bulged suddenly and burst open, its bones softened and melted into a heap on the ground. Ultimately, the buffalo’s entire body left only one piece of skin, while all remaining components entered its companion.
It was obvious that its companion’s stomach swelled rapidly, ultimately expanding almost into a ball. Throughout this process, the companion gained nothing and suffered equally as a sacrifice, its body shriveling into skin and bones, its stomach the only thing swelling.
The other Demonized Creatures were all in similar states, with two animals stuck together, one draining the other to swell their stomachs.
"Thump thump thump thump!"
The stomach started throbbing, as if nurturing some mighty life within.
The stomach was violently ripped open from the inside, and the Demonized Creatures with the stomach wailed miserably before dying as one abnormal creature after another crawled out.
Looking at those abnormal creatures, each one varied in size and characteristics, with features from two, three, or even more animals.
For instance, a horse had a buffalo’s head, but a fox’s tail.
While a wolf had forelegs like a terrier, hind legs like a wildcat, and a rabbit’s head.
The one common trait was that these Demonized Creatures were slick all over, covered in slime, devoid of any hair, supremely ugly and eerie.
Their eyes emitted an oily green light, exuding a cruel and manic aura as they turned to ravenously devour the corpses of the Demonized Creatures that birthed them. As they fed, their size grew continually, and the aura they radiated intensified.
Richard watched all this, pursed his lips, realizing the situation might be even worse than he had previously imagined.
Heluo was tense, saying nothing. She retrieved a ring set with a heart-shaped pink diamond from her pocket and carefully wore it on her right ring finger, ready to activate it at any moment.
Bobbobovic watched with bulging eyes, feeling an urge to shout and vent his feelings. However, considering the current situation, he restrained himself, retreated several steps while in Stealth, and grabbed at the trunk of a nearby tree.
The tree bark was much softer than Bobbobovic imagined, akin to human skin and in a state of decay. When Bobbobovic grabbed it, he hardly exerted any force, yet his fingers sunk deep, causing vermillion blood to ooze out, releasing a thick stench of rot.
Richard and Heluo noticed it, turning to look at Bobbobovic.
The abnormal Demonized Creatures in the arena detected it even faster, looking at Bobbobovic a fraction sooner than Richard and Heluo, focusing all their gazes on him, instantly exposing his Stealth status, along with Richard and Heluo.
Bobbobovic’s expression stiffened, realizing he had made a mess, stunned for about a second before shouting out the words he had held in so long: "What’s going on?!"
"I just touched the tree, touched some worthless plant, and it exposed me? Are you kidding?" Bobbobovic cried in frustration.
Heluo looked deeply at the bleeding tree beside Bobbobovic and said, "Maybe, it isn’t just a tree, it’s more complex than you think."
Hearing this, Richard raised an eyebrow, looking at Heluo.
About to inquire about her real thoughts, the abnormal Demonized Creatures didn’t allow a chance and rushed forward with strange cries.
"What do we do?" Heluo asked Richard for advice.
"Kill," Richard replied succinctly.
"Alright," Heluo nodded in agreement.
After finishing their exchange, the two did not hesitate, charging forward towards the abnormal Demonized Creatures.
Bobbobovic stood stunned for a moment before shouting, "Hey, wait for me!" After speaking, he was about to rush alongside them, but stopped abruptly after several steps, raising an eyebrow in thought: Hey, isn’t this the chance to test the potion?
Bobbobovic quickly retrieved a pink potion bottle resembling strawberry juice from his pocket—finally seizing a chance to use it after missing the early opportunity due to Heluo’s actions.
Bobbobovic unplugged the bottle and poured the potion fiercely into his mouth, gulping so urgently that he choked directly. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝓷𝓮𝓽
Bobbobovic felt the potion about to burst out, but he forcibly suppressed it with great willpower, swallowing it down.
The potion’s effect was rapid; hardly had it entered his body before Bobbobovic felt his whole body heating up. A massive explosive energy emerged from his limbs, converging in his belly, then inch by inch rising upwards.
From belly to navel, chest to throat, then surging into the skull cavity.
Bobbobovic felt his brain boiling like a kettle, his skull top felt like the lid of a boiling kettle, jumping as if it would be blown off.
He had a premonition that once he successfully released this energy, his strength would more than double.
By then, he would be invincible!
A sound resonated as Bobbobovic felt the power in his skull cavity surging out, rapidly sweeping through his entire head, erupting at the top.
Bobbobovic saw a flash before his eyes, appearing as if a firelight flared, followed by a large fireball rising from his head, burning intensely until gradually extinguishing.
Hmm? Fireball? Was this a kind of ability brought by the potion he formulated, allowing him to spontaneously generate fireballs?
Bobbobovic thought in slight confusion, instinctively reaching towards his head. The next instant, his eyes widened like saucers, trembling all over.
"Scratch scratch scratch!"
Bobbobovic frantically felt his head, then touched his face, on the verge of tears.
"Where’s my hair? My hair? My eyebrows? My eyebrows? My beard? My beard? I—I—I..." Bobbobovic felt his mind in chaos as he realized that at the moment the potion’s external power unleashed, all hair on his head had been entirely burned away.
Entirely burned away!
At this moment, his head looked like an egg, and it was a boiled one with the shell removed.
"No! This can’t be true!" Bobbobovic screamed in his heart, feeling somewhat broken inside.
An unobservant abnormal Demonized Creature fought past Richard and Heluo’s attack, suddenly charging towards him.
"Die!" Upon seeing this, Bobbobovic erupted with boundless rage, channeling all his emotions into his fist, shouting as he swung out a punch.
