Chapter 151: Section 152: The Madness of Beastification


    Charge, charge, charge!


    Lord Zhenjin charged directly towards the rear of the Demon Beast Army, his dreadfully decisive aura shocking the surrounding Magic Beasts.


    “Woof, woof, woof!”


    Under the orders of the Blue Dog Fox Wolves, a large number of Magic Beasts encircled and intercepted Lord Zhenjin.


    Lord Zhenjin rolled on the spot to dodge a bite from the Crocodile Head Hammer Tail Boa, quickly ran past a Monkey-tailed Brown Bear, swung his sword, and split an attacking bat monkey into two halves.


    He leaped fiercely, stepping on the back of a Strong Life White Rhinoceros, then landed, rolled, and continued his charge!


    ...


    Flying Squirrels attacked, he roared loudly, and the Flying Squirrels rolled to the ground, wailing ceaselessly.


    An Underground Sand Worm burst through the ground aiming for a surprise attack, but Lord Zhenjin’s ultrasound had already detected it, and he dodged in advance, leaving the Underground Sand Worm to return without success.


    From a high altitude, the Demon Beast Army looked like huge waves of a tide, and Lord Zhenjin was the only one pushing against the current!


    The Blue Dog Fox Wolves were not at all flustered, Zong Ge and the others did not know Lord Zhenjin’s identity, but they had already guessed it. After all, Lord Zhenjin nearly harassed the Demon Beast Army every night, and both his scorpion shell and his battle method were very apparent characteristics.


    When Lord Zhenjin reached halfway, the Blue Dog Fox Wolves that were gathered together suddenly dispersed rapidly, leaving only one standing still.


    “Woof, woof, woof!”


    A new order was issued, and a large part of the Demon Beast Army began charging at the ships and Zong Ge and others!


    For some reason, these Blue Dog Fox Wolves had extreme enmity toward the survivors, determined to not stop until they annihilated them.


    And the remaining Blue Dog Fox Wolf commanded many Magic Beasts to drain Lord Zhenjin’s physical strength. It poised itself as if to say, “I am here, come get me if you can!”


    Lord Zhenjin was not afraid to sacrifice himself, but at this moment, even the Blue Dog Fox Wolves showed a spirit of no fear of sacrifice.


    The tactic employed by the Blue Dog Fox Wolves was clear—


    Indeed, I can’t handle you, dealing with Lord Zhenjin is no use. But even if one or more Blue Dog Fox Wolves die on our side, more of your people will surely die, even everyone except you, Lord Zhenjin!


    Annihilate these people except you, destroy the new ship, and then we will continue to wear you down. Whether you fight, flee, or slay all the present Demon Beast Army, you will surely not leave this island, and your fate is already sealed!!


    Lord Zhenjin’s heart sank fiercely, realizing that the Blue Dog Fox Wolves were employing the very tactic he dreaded most.


    Continuous screams echoed from behind; incapable of restraining himself, Lord Zhenjin looked back, and the sight of Zong Ge and the others in their current dire situation nearly made him furious.


    Zong Ge fought desperately, bloodied in battle, Sanda, Xi Suo, and others had already been injured.


    He, Lord Zhenjin, could certainly save them and stabilize the situation if he returned now. But that would only be temporary, merely relying on the current circumstances, the survivors were simply indefensible.


    If Lord Zhenjin didn’t go back, even if he fully mutated, he could kill only one or a few Blue Dog Fox Wolves, yet he would lose his companions and the new ship, and his end was also sealed!


    With the intelligence of the Blue Dog Fox Wolves, Lord Zhenjin, no matter how strong, was destined to fail!


    Distracted by looking back, Lord Zhenjin exposed a vulnerability.


    The Underground Sand Worms launched a combined surprise attack; Lord Zhenjin dodged the first two, but ultimately, the third one swallowed him and quickly dragged him into the deep underground.


    “Dad, get to the ship quickly!” Big guy yelled.


    “Get on the ship!!” Zong Ge also bellowed.


    Originally, everyone wanted to protect the new ship, but now with the fierce attack of the Magic Beasts, Zong Ge and others no longer cared about the future.


    Everyone entered the ship, relying on the shipboard and other structures, they temporarily stabilized their footing.


    “No!” the shipwright let out a wretched scream.


    Big guy was still outside the ship!


    Time was too tight, and it was impossible for everyone to move the huge stones trapping Big guy’s feet in time.


    Big guy was besieged by the Magic Beasts, immediately his skin split open, and blood gushed wildly.


    He had no martial arts and was facing the boulders, his back to the enemy, with no power to resist.


    “Throw him a knife, let him cut off his own legs, then climb up!” Zong Ge shouted while fighting intensely. Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The cruel suggestion made the shipwright shudder violently.


    Although Big Guy had the Giant Bloodline and a robust life force with strong recovery power, directly chopping off both of his lower legs meant such a severe injury was utterly irrecoverable.


    But if he didn’t amputate, he would lose his life!


    The shipwright’s face turned pale, his hands trembling violently, yet he dropped the knife.


    “Hold it, aim at your knees, cut off your own legs!” the shipwright yelled at Big Guy.


    Bang bang bang.


    Zi Di threw several glass potion bottles in succession, quickly creating a pale green smoke around the hull. The smoke blocked many Magic Beasts, but the powerful ones, like the Strong Life White Rhinoceros, Monkey-tailed Brown Bear, and Crocodile Head Hammer Tail Boa, still moved freely.


    Big Guy howled in agony as he brutally chopped off his lower legs.


    Blood poured out, but he managed to break free and regain his freedom.


    He brandished an iron knife, momentarily forcing back the surrounding Magic Beasts, then dragged his half-body, using his arms to quickly crawl toward the new ship.


    “Come on up!” The shipwright reached out to Big Guy. He leaned out, wanting to pull Big Guy aboard and help him use the leverage to get on the ship.


    But Big Guy didn’t climb aboard.


    He looked up, giving the shipwright a silly smile.


    He threw away his iron knife and used his chest to brace against the stern, his hands beginning to desperately push the ship. “Dad, go now!”


    Several bat monkeys swooped in, landing on his shoulders and back, frenziedly gnawing at his flesh.


    But the pain they brought was just a drizzle compared to the agony from Big Guy’s severed legs.


    The excruciating pain almost made Big Guy faint, but he still used his sawed-off legs, the freshly chopped wounds pressed hard against the ground, supporting his body.


    No matter the injury, no matter how painful, it didn’t matter…


    As long as dad survives, as long as dad survives, that’s all that matters!


    “Ah ah ah—!” Big Guy roared maniacally.


    The new ship, driven by his desperate pushing, began to move. Initially by mere inches, then by a few inches at a time, gradually gaining noticeable speed, and then increasingly faster.


    “How is the ship moving?!” someone exclaimed uncertainly.


    “It’s Big Guy…” many had tears in their eyes.


    “My son, my son!” the old shipwright cried out in anguish, “Get the hell on here, stop what you’re doing, come up! Listen, listen to your dad!”


    Big Guy no longer made a sound; he bowed his head, unable to look at the shipwright.


    He pressed his forehead against the deck, contributing to the ship’s propulsion.


    In his heart, he apologized to the old shipwright: “I’m sorry, dad, sorry, this is the first time… I’m not listening to you!”


    Seeing Big Guy offering no resistance, countless wild beasts and Magic Beasts almost piled on top of him, inflicting brutal, savage bites.


    The pain Big Guy felt was paradoxically diminishing.


    In fact, this was a dangerous sign.


    When the human body experiences too intense of a pain, threatening one’s life, the brain will stop using pain as a way to alert a person. Extreme pain can also form interference, hindering one’s self-rescue efforts.


    Big Guy had no intention of rescuing himself.


    Step by step, he pushed the new ship, giving it speed on land.


    He only wanted to protect his father, to see him safely to the sea!


    Everyone on the ship was deeply moved.


    The new ship broke through various rubble, and, just a bit more effort, it would clear all obstacles and enter the slipway.


    The slipway had already been repaired and reinforced earlier by the maintenance team to withstand earthquakes.


    With such speed, once on the slipway, the new ship was very likely to successfully make it to the sea!


    Once at sea, the Demon Beast Army could no longer threaten anyone’s life.


    “Get up here, damn it…” the old shipwright cried, his face streaked with tears of agony.


    Big guy had run out of strength.


    His injuries were too severe, and he had lost too much blood.


    He tripped over a huge rock and fell to the ground, his head cracked and bleeding.


    The wild animals and Magic Beasts almost instantly overwhelmed him.


    “Push again,” the new ship slowed drastically, and in desperation, Hei Juan shouted, “Don’t you want your dad to survive?”


    Big guy lay on the ground, utterly dazed, but upon hearing those words, he suddenly became alert. He raised his mangled hands and placed them on the ship’s plank again.


    Push!


    Big guy couldn’t stand up, but he still wanted to keep pushing the boat.


    Most people’s hearts thumped wildly.


    They faced the oncoming Beast Tide while keeping a close watch on the front of the ship.


    There was really just one last obstacle left!


    “No, Lord Zhenjin hasn’t returned yet,” Zi Di shouted.


    “He will come back; we need to go first so that we don’t drag him down!” Hei Juan screamed.


    “No!!!” At this moment, the old shipwright roared and suddenly jumped off the ship.


    He held a long piece of wood, swinging it wildly, and actually managed to drive off many of the Magic Beasts on Big guy.


    “Have you lost your mind?!” People next to him stared in shock, trying to grab the old shipwright, but it was too late.


    “Dad!” Seeing the old shipwright jump down to his side, Big guy somehow squeezed out a bit more strength to swing his arms, protecting the old shipwright.


    “Son, hold on, Dad will take you away!” Just as the shipwright finished shouting, a Blade Spider charged through in a tricky trajectory, dodging Big guy’s arms and stabbing through the chest of the old shipwright.


    The old shipwright’s body shook violently, and fresh red blood quickly soaked his clothes; all his strength swiftly drained out from the wound.


    “Dad!” Big guy let out a piercing scream.


    Zong Ge finally had his chance, leaping down and smashing the Blade Spider to death with his hammer.


    But seeing the old shipwright’s injuries, his heart sank.


    It was a fatal injury, beyond saving.


    “Hurry and climb aboard, I’ll cover our retreat,” Zong Ge shouted at Big guy.


    But Big guy just stared blankly at the old shipwright, deaf to Zong Ge’s shouting.


    “Push, damn fool,” Hei Juan urged Big guy.


    Big guy suddenly went wild.


    He crawled to the old shipwright’s side, fighting off the Magic Beasts recklessly. The Magic Beasts counterattacked, and he used his body to protect the old shipwright, many of his wounds now exposing bone.


    Seeing this, Zong Ge let out a deep sigh.


    He shouted at the people on the ship, “Some of you come down and move the stones at the front. Another group, push the ship!”


    But under these circumstances, with the Beast Tide almost cramming the ship, who could undertake such a dangerous task?


    Only Sanda and some former members of the Mercenary Group jumped down and tried to save themselves with Zong Ge.


    Woof woof woof!


    Perceiving these people’s actions, the Blue Dog Fox Wolves barked again.


    Thus, the Beast Tide immediately changed its target.


    They abandoned the old shipwright and Big guy, charging directly at the ship, launching a mad attack on Zong Ge and the others.


    “Do we have any potions left that can be useful right now?!” Hei Juan shouted at Zi Di.


    His eyes were bloodshot, the pressure of near death driving him to madness, losing his normal composure.


    Zi Di shook her head faintly, “They’re all used up.”


    “Damn it, damn it!” Using his thin sword, Silver Lightning, Hei Juan killed a bat monkey and looked down from the ship.


    Zong Ge, Sanda, and others were struggling to protect themselves, let alone clearing obstacles or pushing the ship.


    One after another, ferocious Magic Beasts boarded the deck; a Strong Life White Rhinoceros damaged the ship’s side, creating holes.


    Hei Juan looked around, his face showing a blank expression.


    The screams of the people, the trembling of the ship being smashed, the gray-black sky—it all seemed like a nightmare.


    “Holy Emperor, if this is a nightmare, let me wake up soon. Please!” Hei Juan prayed inwardly.


    He was pushed to the limit, the immense pressure driving him to the brink of mental breakdown.


    Arooo!


    Suddenly a beast’s roar made Hei Juan’s body tremble.


    He instinctively looked over.


    The roar was right in front of him, but it didn’t come from a Magic Beast, but from a person.


    Yet, in the next moment, this person’s hair grew wildly, his body swelled, turning into a tiger-headed human figure.


    “What’s going on?!”


    Hei Juan’s eyes nearly popped out.


    Then, he watched as this tiger-headed comrade furiously leapt out and killed a Monkey-tailed Brown Bear with its sharp teeth!


    Roars kept sounding.


    It was not just him; many others too.


    In an instant, they grew claws, teeth, tails, and horns.


    “What is happening?!” Cang Xu, Zi Di, and others all showed extreme shock.


    These Beastification People seemed to have lost their sanity, driven only by the desire to kill.


    Magic Beasts fell one after another, and even the humans nearby were among their targets.


    “They’ve gone mad.”


    “Even killing their own comrades!”


    “Stay away from them!”


    The survivors huddled together, occupying a corner of the rear deck.


    They were utterly shocked and puzzled as they watched the counterattack of their suddenly Beastified comrades.


    These suddenly transformed individuals unleashed a wild massacre, their unclear minds making them disregard their own safety, and the Magic Beasts were actually being defeated decisively.


    For a long time, the human body had been fragile. Even those with advanced Fighting energy training and higher physical fitness were usually at a great disadvantage compared to Magic Beasts of the same life rank.


    But now, after their Beastification, the strength, defense, agility, and more that these humans displayed completely outmatched the Magic Beasts!


    For the first time since the beginning of the battle, the Demon Beast Army’s assault was thwarted.


    Soon, the Magic Beasts around the ship were cleared, and the Beastification People continued to slaughter outwards.


    It seemed they targeted whoever posed the greatest threat.


    Zhenjin emerged; he had completely Mutated underground, killing all the sandworms, allowing him to escape.


    He hurried back to the frontlines, only to discover these Beastification People.


    At that moment, Zhenjin was utterly shocked and confused.


    “What’s going on?”


    “Could they also have a Heart Core?!”
