Free Web NovelChapter 50: Chapter 50: Hard to Dismount a Lion
Dandelion had originally intended to use this ring for Prometheus, that is, Bai Xiaoyu.
Its organs came from Bai Xiaoyu, giving it a pathological friendship with him, and it hoped to be with Bai Xiaoyu forever and ever.
Within Cain’s plan, it was ultimately agreed to let them live together. Unfortunately, Bai Wu became the neighbor Old Bai who stole chickens.
In the face of Bai Xiaoyu’s final plea and the misfortunes of the past seven hundred years, even Dandelion, who still had a sliver of humanity within, granted Bai Xiaoyu his wish.
In any case, Bai Wu owned both the person and the ring.
Indeed, using this ring came with significant risks.
Such as at this moment.
Bai Wu wasn’t entirely sure that this lion, now lacking its lower body, wouldn’t engage in some strange behavior.
As a warrior who was about to enter the second stage, it was uncertain whether he could withstand the torment of a level five mutated Evil Fallen.
Like the little rhinoceros next door, this steel lion had similar dreams.
Seven hundred years ago, it was a mighty ruler of the grasslands. Although encircled by steel nets, humans fed it meat every day.
Living in this garden, there were few things it needed to do—eat, play, mate.
During the mating season, it could be drained by lionesses more than fifty times a day. It too had once fantasized about the freedom beyond the steel nets.
But now... those lionesses were no more, and it longed for its old simple and fast-paced life.
At this moment, however, the lion suddenly became confused; the lionesses in its dream disappeared, suddenly replaced by a human.
Ah, this sweet human!
The Mech Lion opened its eyes, as if a seven hundred-year-long winter had suddenly ended. Although the human before it wore a mask and looked different from the one in its dreams, it could still sense, at first glance, that this was the sweet human from its dreams.
A deafening roar came, and Bai Wu felt suddenly unable to move. He was forcibly immobilized by the terrifying sound waves.
It was as if his brain and body had lost connection. Only after about ten seconds did he regain the sensation that his limbs belonged to him.
Luckily, he was fortunate, because after this excited roar, the lion did not attack him with a combination of bites and strikes like it did with other animals. Instead, it simply lowered its head and nudged Bai Wu with its massive head.
This pitifully weak human—how could he become immobile with just a shout from me?
The lion could still distinguish between humans and lions, not treating Bai Wu with behaviors reserved for between lion and lion. However, in its eyes, Bai Wu appeared to be female.
After a brief minute of affectionate contact, Bai Wu breathed a sigh of relief. He admitted that he took a gamble, but it turned out to be the right bet.
...
At the base of High Tower, in the middle of the scavenging port, Constantine’s second live stream no longer required Ye Weiming to dub.
The effect of this show was explosively successful.
What shocked the audience was something they had not anticipated—Constantine mounted the back of the lion!
"Holy shit! What am I watching... has this guy lost his mind?"
"Is this Evil Fallen? Or is it some machine left behind by a civilization outside the tower?"
They could not fathom why the Evil Fallen did not attack Constantine. Constantine’s approach had already greatly shocked the viewers, but now, he was riding on the back of the lion!
The scene was so shocking that the giant Mech Lion unexpectedly became his mount!
The visual was enough to overturn their understanding of the Evil Fallen.
Tsk, kind of cool. Chengzi thought to himself as he watched Bai Wu’s actions.
The live stream that started at four in the morning took a four-hour break midway through Bai Wu’s session, and now, in the early morning, it was peak viewership time.
Although Ye Weiming also thought the new boss was cool, compared to money, the boss didn’t stand a chance.
Viewing the throngs of people in the middle of the port, he considered that without sound, they couldn’t possibly conduct a direct sales broadcast. freewebnovel.cσ๓
If there was no direct sales broadcast... then how could he monetize the traffic?
The first principle of the Ghost Grinding Firm’s business — maximize economic gain above all else.
Ye Weiming pondered new avenues for financial earnings.
...
...
Bai Wu was still unaware of how ecstatic the people inside the tower were to see him riding the lion. He, on the other hand, could not get excited at all.
He was now in a position both advantageous and disadvantageous.
The advantage was —
A zoo lion, just like an experienced lover, knows to lift its hindquarters when you pat its back. The lion was the same; Bai Wu pointed in a direction, and it cheerfully sprinted towards it.
There were still two minutes and forty seconds left, but a level-five mutated feline’s speed was astoundingly fast.
Fierce air currents rushed into Bai Wu’s nose and mouth.
Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Bugattis, and all types of supercars from his past life were nothing compared to this.
With the Mech Lion, Bai Wu was confident that during his journey of exploration, he could provoke whoever he wanted.
Level-five mutants like Evil Fallen were already among the top of the food chain in the blue zone.
Level-six mutants were freaks on the level of Elijah.
But Bai Wu also faced a disadvantage - it was hard to dismount the lion.
The lion was currently too excited, and if he took off the ring now, would the lion suddenly turn hostile and bite him to death?
Bai Wu thought about a solution but had no clue for the time being.
Meanwhile, the Mech Lion had already reached the oil depot within an extremely short time and began to battle with the giant serpent.
Before the third level of mutation, the gap between the levels of Evil Fallen wasn’t considered large, but once a level-three Evil Fallen evolved to level four, its strength would see a significant increase. By level five, it was a qualitative leap.
The battle between the lion and serpent didn’t last long. The giant serpent tried to use its massive body to entangle the Mech Lion, but after a roar from the lion, the serpent’s body stiffened for a full five seconds.
Not just the giant serpent, Bai Wu too. The soundwaves induced indiscriminate paralysis, almost causing him to tumble off the lion’s back.
And in those five seconds, the claws sharp as laser blades instantly sliced open the steel exterior of the giant serpent, cutting it into several pieces!
The most attention-grabbing part of a serpent’s body is naturally its gallbladder, and Bai Wu was curious about the interior structure of a mechanical organism.
He saw the serpent’s gallbladder shining like a night pearl, resembling some sort of mechanical core, radiating blue light that gave off a sense of overflowing energy.
And without a second thought, the Mech Lion swallowed this gallbladder.
Mild electric currents flowed through the lion’s body, making the gigantic lion appear even more spirited.
Looking at the remains of the mechanical giant serpent, Bai Wu was astonished to discover... the mechanical exterior of its body was gradually dissipating, exposing the biological flesh and blood beneath.
[Mechanical organisms do not die easily unless their energy core is damaged, just as you have witnessed. Fortunately, although it is dead, it has gifted you with a not-so-useful Sequence — Wave Band Interference.]
Just like when he killed Elijah, it turns out that Elijah’s death by his hand was essentially also death by Evil Fallen’s hand.
The giant serpent’s death by the lion was also a death by Evil Fallen.
In the end... the judgment still fell on his own head.
This shows that the rules outside the High Tower... seem to be about not just encouraging people to kill Evil Fallen with brute force.
Using others perform the deed, driving the tiger to devour the wolf, were also considered valid kills.
The twelve-minute countdown restarted, Bai Wu stepped off the lion’s broad and sturdy back and decided to explore this restroom.
The zoo was too vast; to find the Doomsday Puzzle pieces and records of the mechanized Evil Fallen, he couldn’t afford to overlook any stronghold.
