When Guo Caiying, Ai Chuhe, and Xu Naijia, who had been on tenterhooks ever since Zhang Lisheng jumped away, saw the young man appeared like a ghost, the three of them inadvertently found relief. No matter how they felt about the young man, it was clear that Zhang Lisheng had become their biggest reliance in this foreign world’s jungle.

Thank goodness you’re back, Lisheng! I was scared to death when the monkey threw the big tree at you just now! It’s a good thing it didn’t injure you!
Sitting slumped on the branch, Guo Caiying, whose ears were bleeding because of the vibration, stretched out a hand weakly to the young man and said in concern.

That throw did hit…
Flashing a smile at the girl, Zhang Lisheng answered, but when he saw Guo Caiying’s dazed expression, he proceeded to say loudly.
That throw did hit me, but in the end, it’s the monkey that died!

Then, he pulled the girl up.

You mean, the monkey is dead already?
Xu Naijia by the side had already regained her usual calm state by showing a strong psychological state.
Dr. Zhang, since it’s safe now, I wish to go back to the camp to see if there are any other survivors.




Don’t keep your hopes up, but you can find them if you wish to.
Zhang Lisheng nodded and commanded a colorful flying insect, with perfectly round cicada wings like a cattail leaf fan, to break out of the skin on his arm and fly out. It transformed into a giant bug that was 20 to 30 meters long and fluttered its wings to land on the end of the branch.

Thank you,
Seeing that the young man was actually such a reasonable person, Xu Naijia showed a stunned expression for a while. After expressing her gratitude, she pulled Guo Caiying and Ai Chuhe’s hands and carefully walked over to the back of the flying insect to sit down.
The back of the flying insect was very soft. After sitting down, half of the bodies of the three girls sunk into the soft meat and had their bodies fixed into position.
When Zhang Lisheng saw that they had properly seated, he leaped up and landed on the flying insect’s hard head. Standing amidst the wind, he commanded the wizard gu to fly to the camp.
At this time, due to the effect of the young man and the monkey king’s battle that spread out to the surroundings, the camp had already succumbed into complete silence. They could only see the smoking infrastructures, wrecked vehicles, sparkling robots, and the bloody corpses of humans, giant apes, and wizard gus scattered around the camp.
When the wizard gu landed in the camp, Xu Naijia slowly climbed down the body of the giant insect and looked around. A mournful look appeared on her face as she walked between the corpses before shouting loudly while suppressing the terror and disgust in her heart,
Anybody there? Is there anybody alive? Just knock on something besides you if you can’t talk…

At the same time, Ai Chuhe had already hastily jumped down from the wizard gu and ran quickly to the center of the camp. Scrambling around the wrecked tents around the collapsed lamppost, she carefully identified the face of the charred black corpses one by one maniacally while shouting at the top of her lungs with all her might,
Old Wang, Old Wang! Are you okay? Old Wang, Old Wang!

Beside her, Guo Caiying continued to console her best friend in a low voice.
Chuhe, don’t be like this. Let us look for him slowly, I believe nothing will happen to him! Even if something happened, at least he didn’t pass away in vain. He was a true hero for sacrificing for the country…

While the three girls were looking for miracles at the campsite, Zhang Lisheng selected and picked the clean corpses of the giant apes and pushed them into a pile, making a ‘meat mountain’. Then, he jumped up onto the ‘mountain’ and tore open one of the intact ape corpses before entering its body.
Covered the sweet bloody and raw meat, he enveloped his entire body with the Money Toad’s power and revealed his tattered incarnation before starting to chow down on the flesh and blood of the ape’s corpse. Not long after, his muscles and flesh began to grow while his bones began to repair itself.


After eating the entire ape’s flesh and bones, Zhang Lisheng finally removed the danger of his incarnation and ripped open the giant ape’s skin to walk out again. Shaking the blood off his body, he carried an ape’s corpse and leaped down from the meat mountain. Then, with his mind, he cast the ‘assemble’ spell and drove his blood essence to ooze out from his pores naturally to merge into the meat mountain.
The instant he cast the spell, since the number of the ape’s corpses were huge, not mentioning that they were of top-notch quality, it did not take long for him to attract an endless stream of the foreign world’s bugs that blotted the entire sky.
The bugs that made their way here from all over the places scared Guo Caiying and the two other girls; it made them run up to Zhang Lisheng immediately.

All these freaking bugs must be your doing right, Dr. Zhang? What the hell are you doing? Are you trying to offer the souls of all the dead in the camp to the ‘Fly King’ or something?
Upon seeing the meat mountain in front of the young man that was crawling with poisonous bugs that were feasting on it, Xu Naijia snarled under her breath with a grave expression.

Of course not, Dr. Xu, I sacrificed these flesh and blood to ‘Satan’, not my soul.
Zhang Lisheng stared at the thousands of bugs and flashed a satisfied smile.
Just kidding, I’m merely casting a spell to select some wizard gus for preparation. That big battle with the monkey king has killed most of my bugs. You don’t have to worry about these insects, just do what you want to do. They have been under the witchcraft’s spell and are not interested in the flesh and blood of ordinary people.


Huh! ‘just do what you want to do’?
Xu Naijia stared at the boundless sea of insects around her feet and shuddered uncontrollably.
I’m trying to look for survivors in the camp, but even if they’re not killed by the monkeys, they must have suffocated because of these insects already! In some sense, we can say that you’re a murderer now…


No, no, Dr. Xu! You don’t understand the sorrow of being a wizard. This is not murdering but saving…
Zhang Lisheng shrugged and interrupted Xu Naijia’s words, before commanding the hundreds of thousands of bugs on the meat mountain, that had already swallowed the meat infected with witchcraft, to spread out.

Y-You can control these bugs? You can control all the bugs here?!
Xu Naijia blurted out while she stared at the tide collision formed by a group of bugs as they moved away from the meat mountain and the bugs rushing towards the meat mountain.

I don’t have such a powerful ability, Dr. Xu.
Zhang Lisheng shook his head, with a sudden joy appearing on his face.
We actually have two survivors here, both of them are acquaintances too…

While he was speaking, he stepped on the tide of insects and walked over to a burnt, blackened camp. Lifting the canvas, he transformed his palm into a giant claw covered with scales and buried it into the soil before grabbing up a monster that was entirely covered with bloody soil.


The monster had a triangular head that looked like a heavy hammer had smashed it and then grated by a flat-file. Injuries covered its upper body, and there was only half of its body left. However, there were many meat buds squirming on its amputated, deformed body, so there were still signs of vitality.
After rescuing this humanoid monster, the young man came to the edge of the camp and kicked away a few scattered tents. Then, he dug out another miraculously uninjured but fainted, flat-headed monster covered in a black and red hard shell.
Zhang Lisheng grabbed the two humanoid monsters back to the meat mountain and tore open the clean giant ape corpse he purposely left behind before stuffing the amputated monster into it. At this time, Ai Chuhe, who had turned horrifyingly pale suddenly asked,
Lisheng, is there no other survivor?


No more, Senior Sister Ai. Actually, other than wizards, it’s impossible for any other people to survive the intense battle just now!
Zhang Lisheng reached out a sharp claw and drew a deep gash of a wound on the other monster covered entirely in the black and red shell while he answered with a shake of his head.
Upon hearing this sentence, Ai Chuhe’s face turned pale. Saying nothing more, she lowered her head.
At the same time, the hard-shelled monster trembled after being injured and woke up while staring blankly at the surroundings. When it caught Zhang Lisheng’s nonchalant gaze, it shouted right away,
Junior Brother Z-Zhang…


It’s indeed me, Senior Brother Pei. How lucky you are! The two Grand Wizards are already dead, but you actually escaped this calamity without so much as a scratch by relying on your flatworm’s incarnation that can drill a hole into the ground.

When the hard-shelled monster heard the young man’s words, he suddenly remembered the dangerous encounters just now as horror dawned in his face. In the end, he removed the transformation power and revealed his normal state as Pei Youliang before cupping his hands together in front of his chest to take a deep bow towards Zhang Lisheng. While he was about to give a few flatteries, he abruptly realized that he was standing in the center of a boundless sea of bugs.
Shuddering once again uncontrollably, he said in trepidation,
Junior Brother, you’re indeed amazing! I can really say that this Gu Sea Method is earth-shatteringly fascinating! It’s all because of your rescue that I’m able to survive. That group of giant apes attacked the campsite and killed both the Grand Wizards Master Chen and Master Du, but they actually died in your…


It’s all because when shepherds quarrel, the wolf would have a winning game. Senior Brother Pei, there are many insects here that are suitable to be refined into wizard gu. Go ahead and refine a few then go to the north of the camp to stay on guard,
Zhang Lisheng interrupted Pei Youliang’s words and instructed with a faint smile.


The giant apes came from the north and nobody knew what their population size was, much less if all of them had died. With Pei Youliang’s strength, heading to the north to stay on guard would just be inviting death if more apes came to attack.
However, when he saw the young man’s peculiar expression, Pei Youliang froze and answered ‘Yes’ with no hesitation. With his heart pounding in fear, he cast the ‘assimilate’ spell hundred times and refined five to six ferocious wizard gus before heading to the north of the camp with a sorrowful expression.

I guess we can call this as utilizing the waste,
When Zhang Lisheng saw that his figure was getting farther away, he casually muttered to himself. As he glanced at the gradually disappearing poisonous insects that were battling each other brutally on the meat mountain and was about to refine some wizard gus to nourish his strength, he suddenly heard a light ‘pop’ sound resonating from the clean ape corpse by his side. Then, the triangular-headed monster suddenly crept out of the corpse with its body entirely drenched in blood.
Upon seeing Zhang Lisheng standing in front, the monster’s pupils shrank and looked around. After a long time of silence, it began to speak in a hoarse and dry voice,
Lisheng, it’s actually you who saved me? Are my Master and Senior Uncle Chen dead?


Yes, Sister. The reason you can live is that you have the limb progenerating ability of your leopard gecko’s incarnation. Speaking of which, Master Chen and Master Du didn’t die in vain. That monkey king was extremely scary when it was in its prime state. I think even the deities would make way for it.


The reason you think so is that you’ve never seen just how powerful an Old God is yet. Don’t be proud of getting the bone from the two fighting dogs. You better watch out for your own life if you enter the Mountain Gate again,
The monster fell into silence once again before replying in a low voice.

Sister, even if you say so, I don’t regret saving you either.
Zhang Lisheng laughed.
You can be rest assured that I will return to the US immediately after leaving the Oasis World. I’ll never go to the Gate of Witchcraft again. There are a lot of good quality poisonous bugs all over here. Hurry and refine a few for yourselves and take some rest. We’ll leave immediately and return to the earth as soon as possible after I have finished replenishing my dead wizard gus.
