Chapter 1, Gluttony
Clearly a ferocious beast from ancient China, the Taotie, is spouting nonsensical foreign words. The Taotie father extends his claws to rescue his son, who is about to fall into the lake, and after tossing him onto his own head, he opens his enormous mouth and takes a deep breath
As he watched the little beast lick up water, the gluttonous old man, feeling bored, began to share some essential knowledge that an excellent glutton must possess
No, don't pinch... it hurts... ah
It is hard to say how long it has been, when the gluttonous old man let out a satisfied belch, then grabbed his son from atop his head and tossed him in front of himself, saying: "The grandeur of the mountains and rivers, EXCELLENT! Little... naming is too troublesome, so I will just call you 'Son.' Son, the rest of this is left for you to EAT, so fill your belly first."
However, I am still thirsty. Thinking of that small ball tied to the tail of the gluttonous youth.
... ... Hey, hey, you bastard father, you aren't going to overdo it, are you
Immortal? Monster?
The little beast hesitated for a moment, rolling the puddle at its feet with its paw as if it were rolling yarn—finally, it formed a large droplet of water, which it wrapped with its tail before catching up with the pace of the gluttonous old man
The young beast hurried towards the pool of water with its unskilled limbs. Upon reaching it, he discovered that the color of the water was somewhat strange; although it was on the ground, it faintly emitted a blue light. Moreover, it was moving on its own without any wind.
Suck
After swallowing the last fish in one gulp, the young beast finally felt no hunger in its belly. However, feeling thirsty, it looked around. Due to the actions of a certain creature, the entire lake had been drained. Nevertheless, it still discovered a puddle of water.
"Dodge" is a puddle behind an old tree that has been pulled apart.
"Oh, my son." The gluttonous old man lay in a huge pit, his belly swollen, and said, "I have enjoyed eating too much over the past thirty years... The little monsters and animals in Europa are simply too numerous. Even if I don't provoke the big ones, I have still feasted well. If my father and grandfather were to know that there are so many delicious foods abroad, tsk tsk tsk..." If my father and grandfather were to know that there are so many delicious foods abroad, tsk tsk tsk..."
The water receded once again...
The water droplets transformed into a pool of azure liquid on the ground, and then, a naked girl made of water slowly stood up.
A small creature, resembling a plump animal with the body of a sheep, antlers of a deer, and the claws of a tiger, swayed its way to the edge of the lake. Gazing at the terrifying reflection on the water's surface, it murmured in disbelief, "Is this me?"
Ah ... ...
The gluttonous youth, tense to the point of mimicking his father's tone, took a step back in disbelief and murmured, "I, I actually consumed the bodily fluids of a monster girl for thirty years?!"
... ...
It took a step forward and lunged, extending its tongue to lick once more
The gluttonous old man, frightened, tossed the little beast that had crawled onto his head back in front of him. He pointed with his paw at the puddle of water before him and said: "It's not your fault; after all, this thing is foreign. Our ancestors' memories only include local monsters and a few foreign great monsters. It's understandable that you would be surprised to see something like this for the first time. However, it's quite embarrassing. As a glutton, the first thing you should do when encountering something unfamiliar is to taste its flavor"
The little beast feels that it is indeed quibbling... However, what it says makes a lot of sense... Nevertheless, it is probably enough to just eat animals...
Bang
As the tongue licked the puddle of water, it recoiled as if startled, while the small creature savored the taste it had licked, discovering it was somewhat sweet and carried a hint of a very unique fragrance
There must be something unusual when there is an anomaly
"No wonder you are my kind; you even want to eat your own body. I really like you, boy." The little beast turned its head, only to see a giant beast that looked very similar to it but was several times larger...
The young beast did not even have time to react. It could only watch in shock as its "father" was suddenly compressed, reduced to a single point, and then transformed into a small, pitch-black orb.
Black hole ah
Then he burst into laughter and let out a fart
Monsters, indeed, monsters
He casually took a light breath, drawing that puddle of substance towards him, and then with a loud clap of his enormous hand, he smashed it. However, the puddle stubbornly reassembled itself once again.
Although his father did not feed him animals
It seemed that a delicate cry was heard, and the gluttonous youth suddenly realized something; if he were to revert to being human, it would be better not to use licking as a method.
Moreover, monsters can be consumed
The gluttonous old man lay on the ground, and being lazy and indulgent, he certainly was unwilling to waste any extra energy. After yawning, he blew the little beast away for more than ten meters, then took a small breath to pull it back. He then half-dragged the giant-eyed creature, watching it eat.
Why is the tail still there? Is it that the more powerful the monster, the harder it is to change its form?
The young beast, having grown quite a bit, touched his father's enormous paw with his own claws—though he had never truly regarded him as a father, after thirty years of companionship, he had developed a certain fondness for this fearsome creature who always left a portion of his food behind, his mouth full of bizarre foreign words. If he were to suddenly die inexplicably like this, who could accept it
Fortunately, only the tail did not change successfully. The gluttonous youth looked at his reflection in the transparent, reflective multifunctional water ball that had accompanied him for thirty years, and he breathed a sigh of relief. If it was just the tail, then it should not be a major issue
A gravitational force comparable to that of a black hole drew everything around it towards its mouth, even pulling a thick column of water from the surface of the lake. The young beast could not afford to ponder philosophical topics about the nature of beast life at that moment; it could only close its eyes and desperately cling to a tuft of fur on the head of the gluttonous elder with its two paws
Do not be afraid, my son
It recoiled in surprise, taking two steps back, but accidentally fell into the lake
He then held the small water balloon above his head, squeezing it forcefully, with his mouth open in preparation to receive the falling syrup...
I was terrified. I was terrified. Where have you seen a monster that behaves like this when it is about to die
Is it difficult? Could it be that you are a magical artifact?
The gluttonous old man suddenly opened his eyes upon hearing the exchange of the little beast, and with a shake of the imposing aura surrounding him, he declared majestically: "WHO DARES TO HARM MY SON..."
This situation seems a bit off... and *illustrated books*... Although the instinct of the glutton tells it that the thing in front can be licked, the memories of its past life as a human remind it that
Ah, uh...
Indeed, is the world so strange that even syrup is peculiar? The little beast only knows that it may have truly arrived in an extraordinary world this time, but while its mind contemplates philosophy, its body still obediently begins to move.
The gluttonous youth murmured a phrase, perhaps it is indeed a good choice to listen to his father and go to Japan, as there are also some things there that he wishes to know
However, being thirsty, it could not afford to think too much and could only rely on its animal instincts to extend its tongue and lick the puddle of water
A rather pleasant feeling
... ... ''
He desperately wants to tell himself that he is a person. Yet deep within, there is a primal instinct telling him that his name is—Tao Tie.
I, I am the Slime Girl... Please do not eat me...
However, it looks very delicious...
... ... DON'T BE AFRAID, MY SON! I am your father
----------------
... ... ''
Although I have thought more than once about escaping from this annoying giant beast to human society, seeing it truly "complete" still feels somewhat incredible
For some reason, the little beast gazed at its own reflection on the surface of the lake and swallowed hard
Thirdly, they are referred to as monsters by humans, and in this world, there are many other monsters. Some monsters enjoy opposing humans, while others prefer to hide within human cities. However, the Tangs, a lineage with only one descendant, prefer to act according to their own whims. By the way, the young beast is the fourth generation, and the father is the third generation. In short, having only one descendant in a lineage is a very arduous task
However, it is truly astonishing how even such a powerful and abnormal father has opponents he cannot defeat... How can a non-pureblood and young Tiao Tiao like me survive? I might as well return to human society and rely on myself to earn a living.
The gluttonous young boy fell silent; he suddenly realized that the voice of this lovely girl was actually coming from the water ball in his hand
The little beast originally wanted to take the opportunity to ponder some philosophical questions from m.hetushu.com, but upon seeing the remnants of fish and other such things at the feet of the gluttonous old man, it swallowed hard and, disregarding the fact that they were all raw, instinctively began to gnaw at them.
Upon thinking of this, he stuck out his tongue and licked the multifunctional small water ball
Just when it was in a state of confusion, a paw larger than its entire body gently patted it twice
The small bead slowly began to float into the air, and then ... ...
What is this thing called again? The gluttonous old man originally wanted to show off his knowledge, but he found that he could not remember the scientific name of the item before him. He could only rely on his past experience to say: "This is called sweet water, yes, sweet water. I once caught a big one, and you can put it anywhere; just pour some water into it, and it will turn into sweet-tasting water. Well, this thing can be your toy; it's nice to lick it occasionally for a change of flavor."
It tastes so bad ... ... but I am very hungry and really want to eat ... ...
When it comes to the ordinary, he noticed a puddle of water over there—not because the opponent was too strong to obscure his perception, but rather because the opponent was so weak that his perception automatically filtered them out as if they did not exist
It is only safe to follow him now
The completely naked boy stretched lazily, then sighed and said, "Unknowingly, I have become somewhat unaccustomed to this form. In the days to come... must I live alone?"
Eh?
"But aren't we monsters?" The young beast felt that eating one's own kind was still somewhat...
"Nonsense, this is what we call perfection. As members of the Taotie clan, our lifespans are infinite. Although the purity of our bloodlines has dwindled to less than half, it is still very LONG, very LONG. Our final wish as the Taotie clan is to eat until we die, hahahahahaha..."
Ah, right, right. Suddenly, a faint sound emerged from the pitch-black little pearl, saying: "The little monsters of Europa have almost eaten everything. If you are hungry, go to the East; I hear there are eight million delicacies to try. Just like that, I am preparing to hang up~ By the way, hurry and run far away, m.hetushu.com. Before I die, I can still fill my stomach a bit more"
Fortunately, before his father passed away, he had provided enough food to sustain himself for a month. Otherwise, given his current terrifying appetite, there wouldn't be many animals around for him to eat, would there
Big, Big SHOCK
It takes another step forward
The little beast let out a cry and then ran towards the giant beast that claimed to be its father, believing it would not harm it
Hmm?
First, they are no longer on the land of Yanhuang, but on a land called Europa. The reason is that the gluttonous old man seems to have eaten something that looks cheap and large but is actually extremely expensive and rare, and he is being pursued by a group of formidable individuals, so he had no choice but to flee abroad to avoid the storm. Along the way, he can also experience the delicacies of foreign lands
The boy, who had already consumed the gluttony of monsters, appeared at least somewhat more composed than he had thirty years ago. He looked at the droplet of water in his hand, which had accompanied him for thirty years, with a hint of confusion
Sigh...
Good teeth, good.
... ... ''
Licking it is much more enjoyable than other things
Thirty years later
Left, changed places, the appetizer has just been digested, let's find something to eat for the main course
burp
Although there is a slight resistance to this method of consuming raw food, the hunger pangs from within make it impossible to stop the rhythm of eating
NO, NO, NO, although we are monsters. Just as humans and chickens are both living beings, this is merely a broad category. From a species perspective, according to human classification, we are called Taotie. UNDERSTAND? Taotie consuming other monsters is the same as humans eating chickens, ducks, fish, and meat
Secondly, there exists a species known as humans in this world, and they are currently the rulers of it. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid contact with bipedal beings whenever possible, even if a female appears to be very appetizing, one should refrain from consuming her. This is because not only could it lead to an upset stomach, but it might also result in being hunted down by others
The little beast did not know how long it had run; in any case, after escaping danger, it stopped in the woods. After a moment of silence, it slowly stood up using its hind legs, and with a flash of black light, it transformed into a human form
Is this a deception
