I Am Your Natural Enemy

Chapter 349: Chapter 153: Side Effects, No One Can Stop (5k)_2

”What are you doing?” Wen Yan asked.

”Do you know the Mountain Lord?”

”I don’t know...” the Sparrow Cat mumbled, and after these few words, it tilted its head and fell asleep again.

Wen Yan hesitated for a moment but still picked up the Sparrow Cat and took it to the car.

He really couldn’t see why such a weak creature could be the Mountain Lord’s Natural Enemy.

There indeed are Natural Enemies, but that’s usually the case when their strengths are not vastly different.

But since it could appear as a Temporary Ability, it proved that it must be useful somehow.

Wen Yan still took Sparrow Cat with him, just in case.

When he arrived near Crouching Tiger Mountain again, Wen Yan had bought a lot of food on the way.

The raging river was still continuously drawing water from West River, its flow incessantly pouring into Crouching Tiger Mountain.

The sky was shrouded in dark clouds, and it still hadn’t stopped raining.

Wen Yan let Sparrow Cat eat some of the food first. This creature didn’t care about anything else and didn’t ask why—as long as there was food, it would eat.

Upon arriving at the location, Wen Yan took the food and went to meet the two Taoist priests from Dragon Tiger Mountain and the Disciples who had come with them to assist.

He brought a whole bunch of food, making sure everyone had their fill. Only when they really couldn’t eat anymore did Wen Yan feel a bit more at ease.

Ever since equipping the ”Grandmother” Temporary Ability, the side effects had appeared first, causing an extremely strong urge to feed those around him.

Only when he was thoroughly certain that the others were stuffed and couldn’t eat any more would this impulse dissipate.

「Time trickled by until after sunset.」

In the Nether Soul Realm, the river was already surging with thunder and lightning.

A new great river had formed, descending from the heavens, running through the entire Nether Soul Realm and eventually returning to its origin, forming a complete cycle.

By now, almost all of King Guilong’s Power could enter.

The Mountain Lord waved his hand, and the Rakshasa Bird soared along the river, flying upstream against the current.

”It’s starting.”

He stepped into the water, walking against the flow on its surface.

With every step he took, he saw the gleaming thunder in the water attaching to him, continuously shocking his Soul Body.

This river had formed a complete great cycle. He began to move upstream from its endpoint, which was also its starting point, stepping through the entire river one step at a time.

As he advanced, thunder refined him continuously, and traces of vitality began to emerge.

Only after making a full circle did he begin to ascend the enormous waterfall that cascaded from the sky, going against its current.

At this point, the thunder and resistance he had to endure increased. Correspondingly, the refinement effects improved, and more and more vitality surged through his body.

Now, he couldn’t stop. King Guilong knew he had become the Mountain Lord’s tribulation, but he couldn’t stop either.

At this moment, if they stopped the Mountain Lord, his efforts would be in vain. But if they couldn’t stop him, the Mountain Lord would reconstruct his physical body and return.

Under the night sky, the thunder grew louder, and all the paths nearby had already been sealed off.

In a graveyard within the mountains, a tombstone suddenly split open. A little ghost dug its way out of the ground. Hoisting a hoe, it, CHUNK, CHUNK, started digging up the grave, from which Lord Zhu emerged.

Feeling the air filled with the energy of thunder, Lord Zhu looked into the distance and chuckled.

”What perfect timing! I’ve come to see how a guy even crazier than me dies!”

The little ghost beside him stacked two stones together for Lord Zhu to sit and watch.

”Prince, isn’t this place a bit too dangerous?”

”What danger? When the Great Ancestor killed this guy back then, it was far more dangerous than it is now. Of course, since I know about it, I have to come and see for myself. This guy is outrageously arrogant; he’s infuriated so many people. He’s dead for sure.”

Looking around, he could see Wen Yan distributing things to a few Taoists in the distance.

Meanwhile, the Taoists also noticed Lord Zhu’s presence and glanced over.

Soon, Wen Yan, carrying a cat bag and lots of food, came to where Lord Zhu was.

”What brings you here, Old Sir?” Wen Yan was somewhat surprised.

”If Hu Yuan isn’t dead, then someone from Old Zhu’s Family must come to enjoy the spectacle, to see how he dies.”

”...”

Wen Yan was speechless. Why are all of Old Zhu’s Family so vindictive? What, did Old Zhu not finish him off properly back then, and now they feel they’ve lost face?

”Want some food?” Wen Yan placed the food in front of him and quickly lit three more sticks of incense he got from the Taoist priest, sticking them into the food.

Looking at Wen Yan’s eyes, Lord Zhu felt goosebumps. It felt as if he couldn’t refuse. It was just like when his great-grandmother used to force pastries on him. He had to eat even if he wasn’t hungry.

”Sure... Hmm, isn’t watching a spectacle nowadays called ’melon eating’? Is that where it came from? Watching a spectacle while eating something?”

”Yes, watching without eating something always feels like something’s missing.”

Wen Yan ate, and he also stuffed some food into the little ghost beside Lord Zhu.

They sat on the mountaintop, watching as it seemed that something was starting to stir in the distance.

”Here it comes.”

As soon as Lord Zhu finished speaking, they saw something in the distance, beneath Crouching Tiger Mountain. Thunder surged, and the great rivers plummeted with overwhelming might. This instantly caused landslides and scattered stone shrapnel on Crouching Tiger Mountain. Thunderous collapses echoed the roaring thunder.

Through the clouds and mist, a dragon claw reached out, landing on the mountaintop, with CRACKLING and BANGING sounds ringing incessantly.

Beneath the dragon claw, Hu Yuan raised a hand to hold it back, his stature shrinking slightly, then violently slapped out with his other palm.
