I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 1291 1295: Mind If I Borrow Your Corpse for a Bit?

As countless martial artists fled from the God-Demon Chasm, the news of that big guy's awakening spread like wildfire. How many recognized demigods are there in the whole Stigma Continent? This is definitely a major event that shocked the entire Stigma Continent!
Information about that big guy was once again posted on the public network. Because every time he falls asleep, it lasts for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, so it's very normal for many people on the Stigma Continent not to have heard of him.
His name is the Soul-devouring Beast, an ancient high-grade warcraft species on the Stigma Continent. In its normal state, it resembles a harmless little kitten, doing nothing but sleeping.
Actually, as the top predator of the Stigma Continent, it has lost all pursuits, retaining only two desires: eating and sleeping. Every time it awakens, it is simply because it's hungry.
When it reaches extreme hunger, the Soul-devouring Beast transforms into a creature larger than a mountain, sprouting numerous tentacles to devour various living beings. Not only warcrafts, but even humans who enter its attack range cannot escape death.
There was even a time when it gorged itself within the God-Demon Chasm but still wasn't full, so it barged into human cities in search of more food.
Those hot weapons were like mere scrapes to it. Top martial artists, even saints, stood no chance. That caused a large-scale evacuation of a human city, yet a third of its people perished there, marking the most tragic encounter for humans in millions of years.
But a demi-god level creature is beyond the resistance of any human. Even the human demigods wouldn't fight such a terrifying ancient creature to the death to protect others.
To prevent such an event from happening again, humans devised a new strategy: since it just wants to eat, why not find a way to feed it? If we can fill its belly, it will remain in the God-Demon Chasm and sleep peacefully.
Every time the Soul-devouring Beast goes to sleep, humans conduct a massive hunting operation. Martial artists from kingdoms and sects near the God-Demon Chasm work together to hunt down various warcrafts, storing at least ten million of them in anticipation of the beast's awakening.
Using small drones to send a space storage device filled with warcraft corpses near the Soul-devouring Beast, feeding it will quickly put it back to sleep, preventing further carnage.
As soon as the news of the Soul-devouring Beast's awakening spread, a high-grade ship appeared near the God-Demon Chasm, releasing countless tiny reconnaissance machines to track its whereabouts. Meanwhile, a fingertip-sized device, fully loaded with tens of millions of warcraft corpses, headed deep into the chasm.
"Hope we find it before it goes berserk this time!" In a city of a first-grade dynasty nearby, a team of top technicians was conducting a meticulous search.
Even a first-grade dynasty would face only destruction before a frenzied Soul-devouring Beast.
"Look, everyone!"
"What, did you find it?" Everyone showed expressions of surprise, because the Soul-devouring Beast's body is small; it is only after it goes berserk and enlarges that it becomes easier to find, making each search a time-consuming task.
"No, there's still someone in the God-Demon Chasm! And they're even heading towards the central area!"
In the footage, a young man with black hair was running rapidly, his face showing no fear, only excitement and eagerness.
"Is this guy crazy? Could he be a reckless outsider?"
"Quickly warn him; the Soul-devouring Beast isn't berserk yet, and there's still a chance to escape. It would be such a pity for someone so young to die here."
"Yeah, let's warn him. It won't hold us back any."
...
"Gou Dan, how far are we?" Zhang Menglong asked as he ran, searching for the aura of the Soul-devouring Beast, "Strange, the roar was terrifying, and there was indeed a powerful human presence just now, so why can't I feel any aura now?"
[Headmaster, that's a demigod. Its ability to hide its aura is much better than yours. Maybe the Soul-devouring Beast just stretched itself earlier!]
[Headmaster, there's an ultra-tiny probe near you!]
"Young man! Don't run any further! There's a demigod-level warcraft in the center of the God-Demon Chasm. Don't throw your life away! There's still time to turn back. Leave the chasm quickly; it's about to become a living purgatory."
"Whoa, live broadcast?" Zhang Menglong certainly didn't know what attempts humans made to prevent the Soul-devouring Beast from going berserk. He thought these probes were to broadcast the state of affairs in the God-Demon Chasm.
This is just like on Earth with volcano eruptions and earthquakes. Although extremely dangerous, someone always has to transmit the related news. This isn't overly strange. After all, humans cannot enter, but high-tech equipment can operate fine, and humans also need to understand what exactly this beast is.
"Mashi Mashi, can you hear me? Thank you for your good intentions, but I'm here to confront that beast this time."
"What? He's going to confront the Soul-devouring Beast?" The entire strategy room was stunned.
Even saints wouldn't dare to do such a thing; is this young man mad?
"Young man, whatever the case, don't gamble with your life. I understand you may have encountered something desperate, but you mustn't give up!"
Zhang Menglong revealed a helpless smile, "Thanks for your concern, brother, but I'm not looking to die. I need the Soul-devouring Beast's body to do something; you guys continue what you're doing!"
"Body? Looking for the Soul-devouring Beast's body? Is the beast dead?"
"Idiot, can't you hear what he means? He means he wants to slay that Soul-devouring Beast!"
"Damn, I thought he was just a fool, turns out he's a madman!"
"Forget it, let's leave him to his fate. We've given our warning. If he doesn't value his life, he can't blame us."
...
Continuing on his way for two minutes, Zhang Menglong finally arrived at the Soul-devouring Beast's lair, guided by Gou Dan. Here, the energy around was noticeably richer and more explosive.
"Found it!"
In front of him was a creature the size of a kitten. No, it wasn't just like one—this thing looked exactly like a long-haired golden chinchilla cat!
It was curled up on a tree, drowsily, seemingly not fully awakened.
"That's the Soul-devouring Beast?" Zhang Menglong's face was stretched long, "I haven't read much, but you're kidding me, right?"
"Kid, don't be deceived by its appearance. Such a cute-looking creature like me—who'd guess my true form is so majestic and awe-inspiring?" Xiao Bai said narcissistically.
"Roar!" The golden chinchilla opened its mouth, emitting a deafening sound like that of an ancient giant beast.
"Grumble!" A growling hunger emanated from the Soul-devouring Beast's stomach.
It turned its head left and right, surprisingly finding no other warcrafts!
Suddenly, its gaze changed, revealing wisdom, bloodthirst, and greed.
"It's going berserk!"
Another roar erupted as the long-haired golden chinchilla-like body began to swell rapidly.
10 meters, 100 meters, 500 meters...
It transformed into a colossal warcraft reminiscent of a lion or tiger, pitch-black all over, stretching over 2,000 meters.
It opened its abyssal maw, its numerous tentacles sprawling outward, even extending hundreds of kilometers away!
Many warcrafts caught by surprise were wrapped and bound by these tentacles, then drawn into its mouth.
"As ugly as it is, it's indeed quite fierce!" The visually stunning scene made Zhang Menglong marvel.
"Hey, big guy!" Zhang Menglong stepped out from the shadows, flying directly in front of the Soul-devouring Beast, "Mind if I borrow your body for a bit?"
