Chapter 271: Synthesizing Zunesha
Although the trunk's strength was impressive—about half of his own—its defense was abysmal. It had been blown apart with ease.
Then again, it made sense. Zunesha was over a thousand years old. Its body had long since grown aged, its physical functions severely declining. In a few decades, perhaps a century at most, it would probably pass away.
But… this world possessed the Op-Op Fruit. And there was also a Heal-Heal Fruit. So could there be a Life Fruit as well?
Numerous thoughts flashed through Jiang Qize's mind.
However, he had already made his decision—to take Zunesha.
"Moo—!"
A portion of its trunk having been blown apart, Zunesha let out a frenzied cry. Waves of infrasound rippled outward.
Boom boom boom boom!
The sea below exploded violently, making the entire region appear spectacularly turbulent.
"You might as well become part of my dinosaur synthesis!"
After a brief consideration, Jiang Qize decided to synthesize Zunesha instead. That way, its power and physique would be inherited by the dinosaur, and its vitality would return to its peak.
In a flash, he appeared at Zunesha's head—right at its forehead.
He couldn't forcibly synthesize a living creature with a dinosaur. The target had to stop resisting his power.
With Zunesha's immense size, getting it to stop resisting would be difficult. He would have to beat it into submission.
He crouched slightly and drove his fist downward.
First one-tenth of his strength, then two-tenths…
Boom!
Rumble!
Thunderous explosions rang out as shockwaves spread in all directions.
"Moo! Moo—!"
Zunesha went berserk, its colossal head shaking violently.
The sea below churned violently, showing signs of forming a tsunami.
Wave after wave of terrifying vibrational force spread from a single point across Zunesha's skull, continuously shaking it. It wasn't enough to shatter its head, but inside, it certainly did not feel pleasant.
And Jiang Qize continued increasing his strength. As long as Zunesha didn't faint, he would keep escalating.
"Moo—! Moo—!"
Zunesha's wails echoed through the heavens.
This naturally alarmed the Mink Tribe on Zou.
One after another, Minks leapt swiftly through the forest, rushing toward the scene.
Six-tenths!
Jiang Qize raised his power to sixty percent.
Boom!!
The air quaked violently as a massive shockwave burst outward.
Zunesha's enormous head suddenly jerked, its cries cutting off as its eyes slowly closed.
Finally… it had fainted.
Jiang Qize immediately opened the designated summon interface, casually selected a large dinosaur, and entered the synthesis interface.
He could feel Zunesha's legs slowly bending. If he didn't act quickly, he feared Zunesha would collapse into the sea, and Zou might be swallowed by a tsunami.
"Stop—!"
"What have you done to Zou?!"
At that moment, members of the Mink Tribe appeared at the forest's edge, shouting angrily at him.
Leading them were two imposing figures.
One was a massive feline warrior, ferocious in appearance, with sharp fangs and a pipe clenched between his teeth. He wore clothing patterned with circular rings, had a thick mane around his neck, a huge black-and-white striped tail, and a deep scar near his left eye.
The other was a lion-headed humanoid carrying a musket.
They were Nekomamushi and Shishilian—both influential figures among the Mink Tribe.
But Jiang Qize merely glanced at them before turning to the large dinosaur he had summoned.
"Once the synthesis is complete, immediately transform into Zunesha's form. Don't let Zou collapse. Understood?"
"Moo—!"
The dinosaur, several dozen meters tall, responded at once.
