Sleeping to Immortality: Getting Stronger One Nap at a Time!-Chapter 55 – The Thunder Beast's fatal weakness, a thousand cuts and ten thousand slashes

Chapter 55

Chen Changsheng's righteous stance left the Thunder Beast speechless.
Meanwhile, Li curiously examined the Thunder Beast lying paralyzed on the ground and asked, "Sir, how did you make this Divine Transformation stage Thunder Beast unable to move?"
In response to Li's inquiry, Chen Changsheng took out an ordinary dagger and began to cut into the Thunder Beast, speaking as he did so.
"Thunder Beasts feed on metals and various minerals, their scales are virtually indestructible."
"Their bodies can resist most poisons, making them favored by the heavens."
"I've observed it for a full ten years, and during that time, I've pondered one question."
"When faced with such a formidable species, what method could possibly lead to their extinction?"
Upon hearing this, the immobilized Thunder Beast laughed.
"Hahaha!"
"You think you can annihilate my Thunder Clan? That's just wishful thinking."
"Though I don't know how you've rendered me immobile, my kin will surely avenge me."
Seeing the Thunder Beast's arrogance, Chen Changsheng nodded calmly and said, "You're right, from a logical standpoint, it's hard to imagine a way to wipe out your entire clan."
"But these ten years weren't wasted; I discovered a little secret about your Thunder Clan."
"This little secret, I'm afraid even you are unaware of."
Hearing this, a trace of doubt flashed in the Thunder Beast's eyes.
"What secret?"
"In these ten years, you've fed twenty times, averaging twice a year."
"During the first six feedings, I noticed that after two of them, you were particularly prone to drowsiness."
"This raised a question in my mind."
"I wondered what caused your drowsiness."
"During those first two times you were drowsy, I recorded all the plants and minerals in your feeding area and compared them one by one."
"But you consume nearly half a mineral vein each time, and the area contains too many things."
"So I had to spend another seven years continuing to sift through them."
"In those seven years, every feeding spot was carefully chosen by me."
"Didn't you notice that your drowsiness increased over those seven years?"
Seeing the human's smiling face, a hint of panic finally appeared in the Thunder Beast's eyes.
"Impossible, our species is immune to all poisons."
"Indeed, Thunder Beasts are immune to poisons, but what if it's not poison?"
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng took out a wildflower and a weed from his pocket.
"These are the Fire Red Flower and Flax Grass, names I've given them."
"They typically grow on mineral veins, not too rare, but not too common either."
"Whether consumed together or separately, they produce no toxins."
"But they have a peculiar effect: they can paralyze your entire body."
"Of course, I only confirmed this hypothesis just now."
"The first two times you were drowsy were because you accidentally consumed these while devouring the mineral veins."
"However, you ingested too little, so you weren't fully paralyzed."
"So, to test this hypothesis, I coated that stone with a concentrated extract of these weeds."
"How could you be sure I'd eat that stone?"
The Thunder Beast's tone was somewhat agitated, because if these weeds truly targeted the Thunder Clan, it would spell disaster for them.
"I couldn't be sure!"
"So I added something else to it, making the extract highly volatile."
"Beasts are still beasts; some bad habits are ingrained in their bones."
"When encountering something unfamiliar, you sniff it, you lick it."
"In doing so, my goal was achieved."
"But I never expected you'd be foolish enough to eat it."
"Crack!"
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng's dagger got stuck on a particular scale of the Thunder Beast.
Seeing Chen Changsheng touch that special scale, a hint of terror flashed in the Thunder Beast's eyes.
But Chen Changsheng's lips slowly curled into a smile.
"The scales of Thunder Beasts are extremely hard, even divine weapons can only scratch the surface."
"I just verified this, but I refuse to believe there's a perfect species."
"Your Thunder Beast scales must have some kind of weakness."
"Thud!"

The sharp dagger pierced beneath the Thunder Beast's scale.
The pain was so intense that even the anesthetized Thunder Beast couldn't stop trembling.
"Tsk tsk!"
Watching the Thunder Beast's trembling body, Chen Changsheng lamented, "I didn't expect your scales to have a weakness, and the troublesome part is, it seems I've found it."
Chen Changsheng spoke nonchalantly, but his hands moved faster and faster.
The Thunder Beast's indestructible scales were peeled off one by one in a special sequence by Chen Changsheng.
"Kill me! If you dare, just kill me!"
The Thunder Beast roared continuously, but its body couldn't move an inch.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng grinned and said, "What are you thinking? Why would I let you die so easily?"
"I want you to watch as I dismember you piece by piece."
"Then I'll study every part of your body and find its weaknesses."
"And these weaknesses will become the death knell for your species!"
Endless wails and curses echoed in the Water Moon Immortal Realm.
As time passed, the effects of the medicine in the Thunder Beast's body wore off, but it still couldn't move.
Because Chen Changsheng had taken the source of its strength, the Thunder Core.
He had also severed its meridians, so the dissipating medicine only doubled its pain.
"Swish!"
The massive heart was removed, and the Thunder Beast, left with only a breath, finally died.
Looking at the jade-like skeleton before him, Li swallowed hard.
"Sir, isn't this a bit cruel?"
Hearing Li's words, Chen Changsheng, covered in blood, turned and smiled.
"Cruel?"
"Just average, the outside world is a hundred times more cruel."
"Besides, you've encountered beasts eating people, haven't you? Half a human body bitten off, the other half writhing and howling on the ground."
"Did you think that was cruel then?"
"Would a beast spare its prey just because you think it's cruel?"
"You grew up in the Ten Thousand Mountains, you should understand."
"Feelings are something you can talk about with people, but discussing them with other species is laughable."
After answering Li's doubts, Chen Changsheng waved his hand and said, "Go call the others, there's too much meat for just the two of us."
"It'll be a good chance for everyone to improve their meals."
