CHAPTER 346: CHAPTER 291 AFTER THE CHAPTER TITLES ARE MODIFIED, SUBSCRIBE AGAIN_2

"You shouldn’t have come." Li Zheng sighed meaningfully, Old Pu’s ability was truly overwhelming, revealing secrets without the other party realizing it.

"Mr. Li, do you regret saying this?" Misaka Tsuchiemon thought Li Zheng’s words indicated surrender.

"No, what I mean is, the moment you arrived here, you brought a lot of trouble to the High Celestial Plain." Li Zheng shook his head. Misaka Tsuchiemon didn’t have many abilities, aside from "Swordsmanship Specialization," only a "Metal Manipulation" Genetic Ability.

"The High Celestial Plain is not afraid of trouble." Misaka Tsuchiemon crossed his arms in front of him, seemingly not worried about Li Zheng suddenly causing trouble, quite confident.

Li Zheng grinned: "You’ll be afraid in the future."

Misaka Tsuchiemon rolled his eyes: "Sir means you will become a problem for the High Celestial Plain in the future?"

"Not in the future, it already was before." The arc of Li Zheng’s mouth widened, "And it’s not just a problem for the High Celestial Plain, but a problem for your entire Nihong Country."

"Just you?" Misaka Tsuchiemon’s expression grew slightly serious.

"Just me." Li Zheng said calmly.

"What a pity then." Misaka Tsuchiemon said regretfully, "Originally, I admired you and wanted to make friends with you. Now it seems we can only be enemies."

Li Zheng’s smile suddenly vanished: "Want to be friends with me?"

"You!"

"Also!"

"Match?"

Three words, Li Zheng flickered and rushed over.

(The content below will be revised to normal content after some time, you know if you know.)

After lamenting for a moment, Li Zheng even considered the idea of drowning himself in water.

Fortunately, he restrained himself.

Being Mordo Sheng is better than dying.

If he’s lucky, it might still be possible to see his family once more.

But before that, the main thing is to survive first.

The last bit of "food" had completely turned into a wave of turbid liquid, slowly dispersing throughout the entire lake over time, making it impossible to retrieve.

Li Zheng lifted an appendage to touch the corner of his eye, pretending to wipe away tears, mourning for his lost food for two seconds.

Oh well, better find some food quickly while I’m not hungry yet.

At least I already found a water source, might as well try to sustain life by drinking water.

Thinking this, Li Zheng turned to leave.

"Hmm? What’s that?"

As he turned, Li Zheng caught a glimpse of something at the bottom of the water from the corner of his eye and paused.

Seeing the "food" dispersing on the water surface, revealing a green object on the muddy bottom.

Fortunately, the original mud ball’s location was right at the edge, and with Li Zheng’s current size just under two centimeters, stretching his appendage, he could just reach it.

With little effort, Li Zheng fished out the green object and found it was just a green seed.

The seed looked somewhat like a pine nut, about five millimeters in size, with a hard shell, but the green color was like jade.

However, what caught Li Zheng’s attention was not the seed’s beautiful appearance,

but the rich "fragrance" emitted by the seed as it surfaced.

This is the "food" smell!

Exactly the same as the smell of the mud ball from last night, only much more intense!

"Eat it!"

Even though Li Zheng had just finished eating not long ago, the sudden urge to eat the seed emerged abruptly and dominated his mind.

Eat it... eat it...

"Gulp."

Li Zheng didn’t think twice about why this seed had such a strong temptation for him; instinctively, he swallowed it whole.

After eating the seed, Li Zheng came to his senses: "This seed is a quarter of my size, and I swallowed it without even chewing?!"

It seems...

There wasn’t a problem with the seed being stuck in me...

"Never mind, a seed that small is barely enough to fill the gap between my teeth..."

Li Zheng instinctively dismissed this thought with a human mindset, not considering whether the seed might be poisonous.

Even if it was poisonous, it was pointless, given the seed smelled exactly like the mud ball; there had to be some connection, and if he was going to be poisoned, it would have happened already, so he didn’t mind.

Although Li Zheng didn’t want to die, he couldn’t help but adopt a reckless attitude.

Instead of worrying about poison, he thought about where he could find resources to survive.

Just consider it like munching a sunflower seed without spitting out the shell.

Waving his short and stubby antennae, Li Zheng tried to analyze the substances in the air.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t find anything resembling the scent of the seed or mud ball, making him feel dejected. It seemed that to find food, he would still have to search around.

"But come to think of it, such a large forest, and there’s no other life aside from me, isn’t that too strange?"

Li Zheng thought again about the question he had contemplated many times before.

"If there used to be living creatures in the forest, and they collectively left for some reason, what if...

If that’s the case, this large lake should be the main water source around here, and animals would come to drink water, inevitably leaving behind lots of droppings!"

Li Zheng deduced, rubbing his forelegs together in front of him.

He still couldn’t let go of his dignity, seeking droppings and the like as food.

As for the mud ball from before...

Just forget about it!

Don’t think too much!

Li Zheng shook his head, hesitated briefly, and then started crawling along the lake’s edge.

"Maybe besides the droppings, there are other things I can eat?"

With that thought, Li Zheng completely missed the large ripples forming in the center of the lake.

Blub blub!

"What’s that sound?" Li Zheng was somewhat surprised and looked in the direction of the sound.

The ripples in the lake’s center had turned into a massive amount of bubbles rising from the lake bottom.

During this, a few large fish appeared to play dead, flipping over along with the bubbles.

"What the..."

Li Zheng was confused for a moment, unsure what this phenomenon could be, but to prevent any danger, he quickly crawled away from the lake.

He hadn’t gotten far when a shadow appeared where the bubbles were roiling, growing larger and seemingly surfacing rapidly.

Li Zheng didn’t notice the lake’s anomaly until he was traversing rapidly on six legs. He didn’t find six legs troublesome at all; he even wished for another six to speed up his pace.

"Splash!"

A loud water sound emerged as the shadow finally surfaced, revealing a giant creature.

The giant creature had a massive lizard-like head, with two pale yellow eyes exuding endless majesty. Below the head was a long, thick neck covered in dark green scales.

The monster tilted its head to the sky with its mouth wide open, revealing two rows of sharp, pointed teeth:

"Aong!!!"

The strange roar echoed, and Li Zheng turned to look, immediately stunned.

"Holy... such a big lizard..." Li Zheng quickly reacted, "No... this is a Giant Dragon from Western legends!? How could there be such a thing on Earth..."

"Could it be that I’m no longer on Earth?" Inside Mordo Sheng, Li Zheng’s soul showed an unusually dreadful expression.

He had considered being reborn anywhere on Earth besides Antarctica, but never imagined crossing over to an Otherworld.

Li Zheng found this hard to believe, but the creature in the lake’s center was a stark reminder that this was real!

Giant Dragons simply couldn’t exist on Earth!

"So, I can’t go home?"

Li Zheng suddenly felt somewhat lost, thinking not long ago he’d wanted to return home, even if just to see his parents from afar.

That thought was now mercilessly crushed by reality, along with delivering him a colossal surprise.

—A Giant Dragon!

Before Li Zheng could think more, the Giant Dragon in the lake sprayed two streams of white steam from its vast nostrils, causing massive waves akin to towering tsunamis for Li Zheng.

The terror was immense!

Li Zheng took a sharp breath and turned to run.

He couldn’t provoke it.

A single breath had such power; with his frail body, even a single glance could kill him.

Yet as Li Zheng started to move, the Giant Dragon noticed him.

The enormous eyes looked over and saw an insect akin to an ant, arousing the Giant Dragon’s interest.
