Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

And her shattered eyes, under the gathering of blood, reconstituted themselves.

"Tricks like this can't kill me."

Eros extended her tongue and licked the blood off her fingertip, a hint of firelight appeared in her eyes, and then the firelight burst forth, covering her entire face, and afterward, her entire body.

In the blazing firelight, the succubus' form twisted continuously, finally turning into a massive serpent over thirty meters long—

Completely covered in black scales, with a neck like a cobra that could spread apart, decorated with a pair of vertical pupils resembling the eyes of a demon.

Atop its head were two twisted horns, glowing with red light.

On the back of its neck were wings like those of a bat, large enough to blot out the sky, emitting black mist that sizzled in the air with strong corrosivity.

"What kind of patchwork monster is this?" Jos quipped with an American-style joke, "Looks like an alien that escaped from Frankenstein's lab."

"Let's focus on dealing with it."

No sooner had Zhang Manman spoken than the giant serpent spewed a jet of red flame toward the four of them.

The four quickly scattered.

Boom!

The flames hit the sand and actually showed a molten state, startling them all.

Those flames, untouchable.

Touch it, and you're eliminated!

Chen Tian Yuzi fired another arrow on the run, which easily penetrated the serpent's head but to no effect.

The arrow that struck the serpent's head automatically melted away, leaving only a bit of the shaft to fall to the ground.

"I can confirm now," Su Jie spoke on the team channel, "Previously, Yuzi shot an arrow into her eye socket. Logically, it should have penetrated her brain. Even if it didn't kill her, it should have caused her to lose some control over her body." VisitMyVirtualLibrary

Empire(MV-LEMP-YR)formore.

"But she recovered at an extremely fast rate..."

"This time, the arrow was shot through the scale armor at the center of the forehead, and the depth of penetration wasn't much different from the previous shot, indicating that she has no skull, nor a brain."

Zhang Manman, holding a simple machete, powered up her steps, quickly circled to the rear of the giant serpent, and delivered a slash.

Puchi!

The blade easily severed nearly half the serpent's neck.

But it was useless.

Under the effect of the strange blood, the wound quickly healed, leaving no trace.

"Indeed, this thing has no brain or spine, its life form is similar to insects, but it has only 'blood' as an internal organ," Zhang Manman said, swiftly removing herself from combat distance and speaking quietly on the team channel, "So to kill such a creature, we'd have to drain all its blood."

"Only 'blood' as an organ?" Jos moved behind the serpent, striking off a section of its tail, severing the flow of the serpent's blood.

But the severed tail quickly reattached, as good as new.

One flick.

A cloud of yellow sand rose up, sending Jos flying over a hundred meters away, half-buried in the sand.

"Ptooey!"

Spitting out a mouthful of sand, Jos communicated on the team channel: "Indeed, it has only blood as an organ... such an incredible creature, this must be an organ that integrates the functions of respiration, digestion, decomposition, absorption, and excretion."

```

"Hmm—"

"It's somewhat similar to slimes from certain sword and magic settings."

"However, there's a difference; this creature possesses a snake-like shell... But if 'blood' is its fundamental element, then maybe this body is truly a 'puppet exoskeleton armor' it put together."

Chen Tian Yuzi interjected, "Now's not the time to discuss this, what's the plan for dealing with it?"

With such a large body, if they really had to drain the opponent's blood, they might die of exhaustion first.

Was this monster out of their league?

No.

Though its attacks were fierce and powerful, an attack that couldn't hit anyone was useless.

The enormous body also made its agility somewhat decreased.

And its defensive power was quite weak; with just a little effort, they could break through its defense.

But this was useless.

As long as its blood wasn't completely exhausted, it could never be completely eliminated.

Su Jie said, "If it's just a mass of liquid, it couldn't possibly drive such a huge body; there's likely something like a core inside controlling the blood."

Jos had also gotten up from the sand by now and was attacking the giant snake, excitedly shouting, "I know, it's the Demon Core! No, wait, it should be called a Demon Core!"

Obviously, Jos was influenced by online literature.

"You could say that."

After speaking, Su Jie spat out thirty-six flying swords, turning them into thirty-six streaks of light, and hacked the giant snake into hundreds of pieces.

At the same time, he was searching for the core.

"Here it is!"

In a mass of blood-red liquid, Su Jie sensed a fist-sized, spherical object to which the rest of the "blood" was converging.

Whoosh!

The flying sword plunged into the mass of liquid, scooped it up, and a red sphere shot out through the air, landing in Su Jie's hand.

"No!"

"Don't!"

"I don't want to lose myself—"

The blood-colored liquid formed a humanoid shape, stepping towards Su Jie to snatch back its core, but after only three steps, it collapsed with a thunderous fall, dissipating into nothingness.

Zhang Manman and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but their expressions turned odd: "Strange, why didn't the reward box appear this time?"

Su Jie, looking thoughtfully at the red sphere in his hand, which was transparent and smooth, said, "Perhaps the most valuable thing about that 'Slime' is this, so that's why no box formed."

"That's the only possibility," Manman's gaze fell on a carriage not far away, "Those nine unicorns didn't get spooked and run away from the commotion; seems like they are some sort of puppet-like creatures."

"What about this carriage, then?" Chen Tian Yuzi couldn't help but ask, "Are we really going to go in?"

Jos picked up a bow and arrow, aimed it at the entrance of the carriage, and said, "Let's just test it out."

Whoosh—
