Chapter 115 Aftereffects of Dragon Transformation: Starving! Devouring 5 pounds of beef brisket!
The smoke and dust at the top of the ruins had not yet dissipated, and the wind carried a burnt smell mixed with the sweet and pungent smell of blood, which went straight into the nostrils.
Lu Sheng walked on the waves and returned to the headless corpse of the sea iguana king, placing one hand on the slippery scales.
"receive."
The space trembled slightly, and the enormous corpse vanished instantly, leaving only a pool of dark purple blood on the ground.
The movements were fluid and practiced, as skilled as an old butcher closing up shop at a market, leaving not even a bone fragment behind.
After doing all this, he turned around.
His bare upper body had clearly defined muscles, and a few illusory golden dragon scales that had not completely faded flickered in the sunlight, exuding a ferocity that had not yet dissipated.
He stepped out from the edge of the ruins.
The ball of the foot landed.
"Smack."
The undulating sea surface seemed to be covered with an invisible layer of tempered glass, steadily supporting his body.
With his hands in his tattered pockets, Lu Sheng walked across the waves toward the Blazing Flame.
This scene was even more chilling than the dragon's breath attack from before.
Killing is the means, riding the waves is a miracle.
On the bridge of the Zhenyuan.
"Clang!"
Chen Yan dropped the Spirit Source Battle Axe from his hand and smashed it onto the deck, creating a shallow dent in the special steel.
He completely ignored the numbness in his hand, his eyes fixed on the figure walking on the sea.
"Spiritual energy emanates outwards, leaving no trace on water..."
Chen Yan's throat was dry, and his voice sounded like it had been sanded: "This kid... he really became a Level 6 Spirit Source User?"
How much military resources did he use to get over this hurdle? Lu Sheng killed a monster and leveled up in less than five minutes, and he's already on his way?
Based on the known Spirit Source users in the military archives, it can be said that Lu Sheng is the youngest Level 6 Spirit Source user at this stage.
none of them.
On the sea, Lu Sheng's figure passed by the surviving refugee boats.
The once noisy, chaotic fleet, where ships fought each other for passage, was now deathly silent, as if someone had been choked.
"Thump."
Someone on one of the ships knelt down first.
Then, like falling dominoes, things started to go wrong.
The survivors on deck, in the cabins, and even those clinging to the railings, all had their knees buckle and knelt down before the passing figure.
No one dared to look up, no one dared to make a sound; only the monotonous sound of waves crashing against the ship's side could be heard.
In this chaotic apocalypse, Lu Sheng used his dragon breath, powerful enough to vaporize everything, to etch himself into the bones of these people.
Those who obey prosper, those who oppose perish.
These are the new rules.
Lu Sheng didn't even lift his eyelids. He lightly touched the sea surface with his toes and, like a white bird, skimmed dozens of meters, landing gracefully on the deck of the Blazing Flame.
It had just landed and hadn't even settled yet.
"Lu kid! You're awesome!"
Zhou Hai, with his chubby face covered in blood, came closer, his eyes shining, looking as if he wanted to pounce on him and lick him.
He circled Lu Sheng twice, wanting to reach out and touch Lu Sheng's forehead, but then withdrew his hand halfway, trembling as he asked, "What was that just now? Dragon horns? And that big tail? Can it reappear? Let me touch it, and soak up some of its divine energy!"
Although Zhao Ze didn't speak, his knuckles were white as he gripped the shield, clearly still recovering from the shock. Su Li, holding her knife, looked at Lu Sheng with a complex expression—an instinctive awe of the strong.
Lu Sheng was about to laugh and yell "Get lost!" when suddenly—
"Gurgle..."
A terrifying hunger that could burn away stomach acid exploded from my abdomen without warning.
His vision went black, his legs felt weak, and he almost kowtowed to Zhou Hai on the spot.
[Warning! Human-Dragon form has consumed a huge amount of energy! Current cellular energy is severely depleted! High-energy food is urgently needed!]
The system's red warning message was flashing frantically on my retina.
The hunger wasn't the kind of hunger you get from not eating; it was the kind where every cell was screaming, as if a thousand mouths were tearing at his internal organs, frantically demanding energy.
That aloof and indifferent demeanor instantly crumbled.
"Hungry……"
Lu Sheng suddenly looked up, a terrifying green light flashing in his eyes, and a beast-like growl squeezed out of his throat.
"Where's the food...where is the food?!"
He shoved Zhou Hai, who was blocking his way, aside.
Zhou Hai, this several-hundred-pound ball of flesh, was like a paper doll, directly pushed more than ten meters away and crashed hard into the turret base ring. He cried out "Ouch!" and couldn't get up.
"Bang!"
Lu Sheng rushed into the kitchen of the Blazing Flame restaurant like a madman.
On the stove, a large stainless steel pot with a diameter of half a meter was bubbling and steaming, containing fifty catties of beef brisket prepared for everyone on the ship. The broth was boiling and the aroma was overwhelming.
Lu Sheng didn't even look at it before reaching out his hand.
"Sizzle!"
The sound of boiling water scalding his skin was enough to make your teeth ache, but he didn't even flinch.
He grabbed two large, piping hot pieces of bone-in beef brisket, and without even blowing on them, stuffed them straight into his mouth.
"Snap! Snap!"
The hard cow bones were as crunchy as potato chips under his teeth. He chewed them up, meat and bone alike, making the swallowing sound of a large beast eating. He didn't need to chew them carefully at all; he just swallowed them raw.
When Zhou Hai and his group chased in and saw this scene, their jaws nearly dropped to their feet.
"Holy crap..." Zhou Hai swallowed hard, feeling a sharp pain in his throat. "This pot just boiled! It's boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius! Is that kid Lu reincarnated from a starving ghost?"
Zhao quickly stopped Su Li, who was about to step forward: "Don't go over there. Look into his eyes, that's instinct. Whoever tries to steal the food now will be in trouble."
With a large amount of meat consumed, the stomach operates like a high-powered pulverizer, frantically converting the energy from the food into qi and blood to replenish the depleted cells.
The maddening hunger finally subsided.
During the break between meals, Lu Sheng's brain was working at high speed.
"The human-dragon form is powerful, but the energy consumption is a bottomless pit."
"In less than three minutes, they drained me dry too."
"From now on, I'll have to carry some high-energy compressed dry rations with me, or... edible sea monster meat."
Thinking of the sea monster meat, Lu Sheng didn't stop. He stuffed meat into his mouth while his consciousness sank into the system.
"Forging the Marine Iguana King!"
[Ding! Refining successful! Obtained 3 High-Grade Spirit Source Crystal Cores!]
[Ding! Special item obtained: Marine Iguana King's Spirit Core x1!]
Ok?
Lu Sheng paused in his chewing of the bone.
In the space of consciousness, a thumb-sized, silvery-white crystal floated quietly, its surface rippling with water patterns, looking quite extraordinary.
[The Spiritual Core of the Marine Iguana King: The essence of the spiritual power of a level 6 intelligent marine beast. Absorbing it can greatly strengthen one's spiritual barrier, or it can be used as a core material for spiritual treasures.]
nice one.
A glint of light flashed in Lu Sheng's eyes.
He has dragon scales for physical defense, but his weakness lies in the mental aspect. Although the lizard king's mental piercing attack was shattered by the dragon's might, it reminded him that he must strengthen this area.
This thing is like a godsend.
"absorb."
No hesitation.
A cool, refreshing current, like an icy spring, rushed into my mind, instantly clearing my previously swollen brow. It was as if my brain had been fitted with a bulletproof glass, making it completely transparent.
"call--"
A large pot of beef, broth and all, was emptied.
Lu Sheng let out a long breath, wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth, and turned around.
The three people at the door stared in disbelief, looking at him as if he were some unknown creature.
Lu Sheng straightened his slightly disheveled collar and regained his calm and composed demeanor.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen food before?"
Zhou Hai pointed to the pot, which was completely empty of soup, his lips twitching: "You call this eating? This is like starving ghosts!"
Lu Sheng ignored the talkative Zhou Hai and walked straight out of the kitchen, his voice drifting back.
"Pack up."
"That old fox Chen Yan is probably going to come and sound him out."
