Chapter 55: The Fatal Weakness of the Thunder Beast, Thousand Cuts and Ten Thousand Scrapes
Chen Changsheng’s righteous indignation instantly left the Thunder Beast speechless.
A-Li curiously examined the Thunder Beast lying on the ground, saying,
“Sir, how did you make this Thunder Beast at the Spiritual Master stage unable to move?”
Facing A-Li’s inquiry, Chen Changsheng took out an ordinary dagger and started drawing it over the Thunder Beast’s body while speaking.
“The Thunder Beast feeds on metals and various minerals, its scales can be said to be unbreakable.”
“Moreover, its body can avoid most poisons; such species can be considered favored by heaven.”
“I observed it for ten days, during which I was constantly thinking about one question.”
“How can I, facing such a powerful race, find a method to destroy their entire clan?”
Upon hearing this, the Thunder Beast that could not move at all laughed loudly.
“Hahaha!”
“Do you think you can destroy my Thunder Clan with just your strength? It’s nothing but a dream.”
“Even if you don’t know what method you used to immobilize me, my people will surely avenge me.”
Seeing the arrogant demeanor of the Thunder Beast, Chen Changsheng nodded quietly.
“You’re right, from a common sense perspective, there really isn’t a way to destroy your entire clan.”
“But these ten days weren’t wasted; I discovered a small secret of your Thunder Clan.”
“A secret that even you might not be aware of.”
Hearing this, a hint of doubt flashed in the Thunder Beast’s eyes.
“What secret?”
“In these ten days, you ate twenty times, averaging twice a day.”
“When observing your first few meals, I noticed that after two of those meals, you were particularly prone to drowsiness.”
“This led me to wonder why you easily fall asleep.”
“For the first two times you fell asleep, I recorded all the plants and minerals in your feeding area and compared them later.”
“However, every time you eat, you swallow a considerable portion of the mineral vein, so there are too many things on such a large area.”
“So I had to spend another seven days continuing to screen.”
“During these seven days, I carefully selected each place where you ate.”
“Can’t you see that your frequency of falling asleep has increased during these seven days?”
Looking at this human’s smiling face, panic finally appeared in the Thunder Beast’s eyes.
“It’s impossible, our race is immune to all poisons.”
“The Thunder Beast is indeed immune to all poisons, but what if it’s not poison?”
Speaking, Chen Changsheng took out a wildflower and a weed from his chest.
“These are Fire Red Flowers and Flax Grass, names I gave them.”
“They usually grow on some mineral veins, neither rare nor common.”
“Whether eaten together or separately, these two substances do not produce toxins.”
“But they have a peculiar effect, which is to paralyze the entire body of Thunder Beasts.”
“Of course, this conjecture was only confirmed recently.”
“The first two times you fell asleep was because you accidentally ingested these two substances when devouring mineral veins.”
“Only the amount you consumed was too small, hence you didn’t become paralyzed.”
“To verify this conjecture, I applied the concentrated juice of these weeds on that stone.”
“Why would you be sure I would eat that stone?”
The tone of the Thunder Beast became agitated, for if these two weeds truly targeted the Thunder Clan, then the Thunder Clan would face a disaster!
“I wasn’t sure either!”
“So I added something else inside, making the juice of these two weeds extremely volatile.”

Setting
Traditional Simplified
“Beasts are always beasts, and there are always some bad habits ingrained in their bones.”
“When encountering unfamiliar things, you use your nose to smell and your tongue to lick.”
“Thus, my purpose was achieved.”
“But I never thought you would be foolish enough to eat it.”
“Click!”
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng’s dagger got stuck on one of the Thunder Beast’s scales.
Seeing Chen Changsheng touch that special scale, a look of terror flashed in the Thunder Beast’s eyes.
But the corners of Chen Changsheng’s mouth slowly curled up.
“The scales of the Thunder Beast are extremely hard, even divine weapons can only scratch the surface.”
“I verified this just now, but I never believed that there exists a perfect species in the world.”
“There must be some weakness in your Thunder Beast scales, right?”
“Pffft!”
The sharp dagger stabbed deeply into the Thunder Beast’s scales.
This bone-deep pain made even the already anesthetized Thunder Beast tremble uncontrollably.
“Tsk tsk!”
Looking at the trembling body of the Thunder Beast, Chen Changsheng sighed regretfully.
“Unexpectedly, your scales actually have a weakness, and more troublesome, I seem to have found it.”
Chen Changsheng said lightly, but his hand speed continued to increase.
The indestructible scales of the Thunder Beast were being peeled off one by one according to a specific sequence.
“k*ll me! If you have the guts, k*ll me!”
The Thunder Beast roared incessantly, but its body couldn’t move at all.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng grinned and said, “What are you thinking? How could I let you d*e easily?”
“I want you to watch with your own eyes as I dissect you piece by piece.”
“Then I will thoroughly study every part of your body and find its weaknesses.”
“And these weaknesses will become the d*ath knell for your entire race!”
Unending cries and curses echoed in the Water Moon Cave Heaven.
With the passage of time, the effects of the medicine in the Thunder Beast’s body had disappeared, yet it still couldn’t move.
Chen Changsheng had taken away the source of the Thunder Beast’s power, the Thunder Pill.
He also severed all the meridians on its body, so the dissipation of the medicine only doubled its suffering.
“Swish!”
The huge heart was removed, and the nearly lifeless Thunder Beast finally died.
Looking at the clean white skeleton in front of him, A-Li swallowed hard.
“Master, isn’t this a bit too cruel?”
Hearing A-Li’s words, Chen Changsheng, covered in bl**d, turned his head and smiled.
“Cruel?”
“Not really, the outside world is a hundred times more cruel than this.”
“Also, you’ve encountered situations where fierce beasts eat humans before, half a body bitten, the other half writhing on the ground.”
“Did you feel cruel back then?”
“Would a fierce beast spare the prey in its mouth just because you feel it’s cruel?”
“You grew up in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, you should understand.”
“Emotions like this are fine to talk about among humans, but talking about emotions with other species is simply laughable.”
Having answered A-Li’s doubts, Chen Changsheng waved his hand and said.
“Go call some people, we can’t finish eating all this meat ourselves.”
“It’ll also give everyone a chance to improve their diet.”
