Chapter 196 Gui Power (1/2)

After leaving Gao Peng's tent, Da Zi saw Flamy standing on a tree branch on one leg. The crane was pulling insects out of a hole in the tree with its beak.

Something worth mentioning here was the fact that despite having undergone mutations, some monsters saw no drastic changes in size.

Insects in particular hadn't changed much in terms of size.

Flamy was straining its eyes at the tree hole as it searched for food. Suddenly, the centipede below it let out a bitter laugh. ”Still eating, eh, fatty?”

Flamy stared at Da Zi in surprise.

Feeling somewhat attacked, Flamy looked down, only to see the back of a centipede crawling away.

When night came, a silverback millipede emerged from the trees in the distance. It was carrying bundles of roots and saplings on its back. It saw that its den was currently being occupied by someone else.

Panicking, it shook its load off of its back and scuttled hurriedly towards its den. Such a damp and dark place hadn't been easy to find. It had no intention of moving out.

Most monsters would become extremely territorial when they found out that their territories had been invaded by an intruder.

At that moment, the Adamantine Duck, who had been staring blankly at nothing near a tree hollow, suddenly felt a sharp pain in its rear.

Its passive effect was immediately triggered. With a flash of purple light, its body expanded.

Turning around, it saw a ten-foot-long silverback millipede viciously biting its rear. The millipede had pulled some of the duck's feathers off its tail. A few yellow feathers were now sticking out of the millipede's mouth.

”Quack?” questioned the Adamantine Duck strangely. Why did it bite me?

The millipede ignored it and sank its fangs deeper into the duck's buttocks. There was another flash of purple light, and the Adamantine Duck's body expanded even more.

Looking at the millipede in confusion, the duck kicked it away.

Though its body had expanded twice, the Adamantine Duck was still smaller than the millipede. Its normal size was around five feet tall. Now, it had grown to be seven feet tall.

The millipede opened its mouth wide and released a red vapor. The Adamantine Duck cried out in pain when the red vapor came into contact with its eyes. Tears were now rolling out of its eyes.

The millipede grinned triumphantly. The duck had no idea how many of the millipede's enemies had fallen victim to this attack.

Anyone affected by its acrid vapor attack would be blinded. Every enemy the millipede had encountered had been susceptible to this attack.

The Adamantine Duck's Gui power allowed it to inflate its own body while it was being attacked. Its own strength, defense, speed, and other stats would increase drastically as well.

Its passive effect would only activate once if the millipede's red vapor was a one-time attack.

However, the vapor was inflicting continuous pain on the Adamantine Duck. Every two seconds, it would feel an intense pain in its eyes, where the red vapor still remained.

Then, something terrifying happened.

The Adamantine Duck in front of the millipede began expanding its body with each breath.

The millipede raised its head and saw that it couldn't even see past its chest.

When it blinked, the only thing it could see was the duck's legs.

The flashes of purple light didn't stop. The duck had grown 20 feet tall, and its growth was showing no sign of stopping.

”Quack!” The duck's quack resounded loudly in the forest.

A 23-foot-tall yellow duck now stood in the middle of the forest. As it grew, the red vapor that had initially affected its eyes began losing effect.
