2616 Constantly evolving, constantly getting stronger
With a group of monsters as guards, Tang Zhen began to run amuck on the black grassland, specifically picking monsters that were alone or in a small number.
It was not that Tang Zhen was bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Instead, there were indeed too many powerful monsters on this grassland.
Without sufficient strength, provoking those high-level monsters rashly was simply courting death.
Every outstanding commander would never take action when they had no chance of winning. In those cases where they won by a narrow margin, luck often did not even make up a third of the factor.
Tang Zhen was now seeking progress in a stable manner. He would definitely not be greedy and advance rashly. Once he had enough strength, there would similarly be no one who could stop him from killing high-level monsters.
After all, the higher the level of the monster killed, the greater the benefits. If he could kill all the monsters on the entire plain, the level of the sludge monster would be raised to an unimaginable level.
The puppet monster controlled by Tang Zhen had benefited a lot from the hunting process, and its strength had unknowingly increased rapidly.
It was a pity that the puppet monster did not have a mind of its own and could not understand this joy. Due to its innate deficiency, it could not evolve to a high level.
This was because after leaving Tang Zhen, they were just a pile of rotten meat and no longer posed any threat.
It was for this reason that Tang Zhen did not feel any pity when he used it. After a few intense battles, the puppet monster was already covered in injuries.
If the puppet monster lost its combat power, Tang Zhen would control the mud monster to devour it and then control a new monster.
In the process of killing, Tang Zhen was not greedy. He only controlled around fifty puppet monsters.
This number was enough for self-protection and just enough for the sludge monster’s devouring speed. If he killed more monsters, it would inevitably cause unnecessary waste.
In the process of the battle, Tang Zhen was constantly updating the types of puppet monsters. Unfortunately, the quality of these low-level monsters was not very good.
If one were to rank the monsters, only a small number of them would be able to reach the elite tier. The rest were just normal monsters.
When he encountered such an ordinary monster, Tang Zhen was too lazy to replace it because there was no difference whether he replaced it or not.
If it was a strange monster like the mud monster that had no upper limit, Tang Zhen would definitely not waste it and would make good use of it.
Tang Zhen’s monster army was attacked by a powerful enemy just after they finished off a group of monkey-like monsters. A group of winged lizards descended from the sky.
Tang Zhen had long discovered that the myriad of strange demonic creatures in the demonic realm were actually the demonized versions of the creatures in the real world.
The powerful monsters in the real world were not weak in the demonic world either. For example, the big multicolored Tiger that he had seen in the distance clearly had the strength of a Lord.
The flying Lizard was not weak either. It killed five monsters in the first round when it fell from the sky.
The victorious Flying Lizard was proud of itself. It flapped its huge wings and circled in the sky, ready to launch its next attack.
The puppet monster on the ground roared loudly. It was an instinctive unwillingness to give up. There was nothing it could do against the monsters in the sky.
In fact, on this battlefield, the flying monsters had a huge advantage. They could choose any target on the ground to attack.
They were the overlords of the sky, ruling over the grassland. Other than some terrifying existences, any monster was their prey.
In this land where monsters gathered, perhaps the only thing that could pose a threat to them were other monsters with wings.
The flying Lizard’s pride did not last long before Tang Zhen, who was on the ground, launched an attack. Mosquito mouthparts shot out one after another.
Several Flying Lizards were shot down one after another. Before they could struggle after falling to the ground, they were torn to pieces by the swarming puppet monsters.
In the process of tearing, he deliberately kept the flying Lizard’s wings, and then the mud monster dragged them and ” stuck ” them to his body.
In this case, the puppet monster would have wings.
Of course, the wings could not be inserted into the body to fly. Instead, it required the mud monster to act as a medium, and then Tang Zhen would control it to do so.
While controlling the puppet monster, he also controlled a pair of wings. It was not a problem for Tang Zhen.
This series of changes happened in a flash. Before The Flying Lizards could come to their senses, a few more were shot down.
The puppet monsters with wings soared into the sky at the same time and pounced toward the flying Lizard ferociously.
The flying Lizard was dumbfounded. It couldn’t understand how these crawling insects on the ground could fly into the sky in the blink of an eye.
Especially on their bodies, they actually had wings of the same race, and their flying movements were even more skillful and flexible than theirs.
This was simply a supernatural event. Although it was a monster in itself, it still felt incredible.
The monsters on the battlefield did not have time to think. The puppet monsters with wings and sharp mosquito-like mouths all pounced at them.
Under Tang Zhen’s control, the puppet monster that had grown wings was not afraid of death. It was a fighting style that was completely life for life.
Although the flying Lizard was fierce, it was intimidated by this kind of life-risking fighting method and was suppressed so much that it couldn’t raise its head.
In the air, wails of pain could be heard continuously. In the process of the bloody battle, blood-soaked figures constantly fell from the sky.
The puppet monsters on the ground waited with their heads raised. Once a Flying Lizard fell down, they would swarm forward and kill it.
During this period, Tang Zhen also controlled the mud monster and the corpses of a few Flying Lizards, turning them into puppet monsters.
Under Tang Zhen’s control, the rebellious Flying Lizards became even more ferocious. They rushed up and bit the necks of their clansmen, tearing them apart with all their might.
After rolling a few times in the air, both of them landed on the ground and were attacked by the puppet monsters.
In the face of the double attacks from the sky and the ground, the arrogant Flying Lizard lost its temper and was wiped out in a short time.
Tang Zhen’s strength had once again increased after he had obtained a big victory. At the same time, he also had a batch of puppet monsters that could fly in the air.
The so-called “adding wings to a Tiger” was referring to this moment.
After a bloody battle, the puppet monsters controlled by Tang Zhen had reached close to a hundred. Although they were covered in injuries, they still emitted a terrifying aura that made people tremble.
This was the killing aura accumulated by monsters when they killed. The more targets they killed, the thicker the killing aura would be.
Although the puppet monster had died, only its original consciousness had disappeared. The monster’s physical instincts still existed.
The puppet monsters could also enjoy the benefits they gained during the battle, and then they would become stronger without them knowing.
Tang Zhen, who discovered this, decided to do an experiment to let the puppet monster survive as much as possible.
He wanted to see to what extent the puppet monster would be able to level up after continuous upgrades.
After getting rid of the flying Lizard and obtaining more power, Tang Zhen began to search for more powerful enemies.
It didn’t take long before a three-headed giant tortoise the size of a Hill came into sight. Its massive size and near-invincible defense made the three-headed giant tortoise the Overlord of the nearby area.
After attaching the three pairs of Flying Lizard wings to his body, Tang Zhen’s body flew off the ground and directly charged toward the three-headed giant tortoise.
There was a large group of flying monsters behind them, and there was also a group of extremely fierce puppet monsters on the ground. The powerful combination made the other monsters Dodge one after another.
Perhaps it was because they were subservient to the strong, but as the team moved forward, many low-level monsters followed them, constantly letting out fawning roars.
The puppet monsters ignored them. The small monsters thought that they had received permission and began to gather in an endless stream, trying to seek protection from this powerful team.
