Gluttonous Warlock

Chapter 148 Leopard Man Legend (two chapters in one)

Tarzan Morgan, son of the Doctor, ten-year-old boy.

This spring, the boy's mother passed away.

The loss of his mother left him depressed and depressed.

Dr. Morgan also misses his deceased wife, but he still shoulders important scientific research tasks.

It's not easy juggling work and taking care of my son.

The doctor had an idea and thought of a good way to get the best of both worlds.

Influenced by his father, Tazan was very interested in wildlife and folklore since he was a child, and he always begged his father to take him abroad to participate in field trips.

This summer vacation is a good opportunity.

In order to help his son overcome the pain of losing his mother, Dr. Morgan made an exception and agreed to take him to join the Wakanda Rainforest Expedition Team, leaving him a memorable summer vacation.

At first, the boy enjoyed this wild adventure.

Until the end of the investigation mission, trouble came!

The scientific expedition team was attacked by a group of black panthers in the depths of the jungle!
Under the leadership of the half-blood guide, he escaped the pursuit by chance.

Only the unlucky little Tazan was bitten by the vicious panther.

The wound was quickly bandaged and treated.

It seems that the bleeding has stopped and healed, but the boy's condition has not improved.

The continuous high fever and raving are hurting his brain.

The guide believed that the boy might have been infected with "lycanthropy".

He was given tincture of belladonna, but unfortunately it didn't work.

The high fever became more and more serious, and his life was in danger.

The night of the full moon is approaching.

The boy's blood may boil at any time and he may turn into a mad beast.

For the safety of the team, this time bomb must be isolated!
Dr. Morgan would never abandon his son, and would stay with him no matter what.

The ruthless and strong half-blood wizard knocked out Dr. Morgan and forcibly took the boy away.

The guide is half Aboriginal and grew up among rainforest tribes.

He returned to his hometown with the feverish and comatose boy on his back, and sought treatment from the wise shaman mother-in-law.

This is the boy's last hope.

The tattooed and wrinkled old woman with a necklace of baby skulls around her neck looks at the boy, shakes her head and sighs.

"Not much hope?" the guide asked the mother-in-law.

"It's almost hopeless." The old woman said flatly, "Go back and tell his father that the boy is dead, don't worry about it anymore."

The guide sighed and turned to leave.

Back on the boat, in order to make the doctor give up, the guide said that the boy was dead and the body was thrown into the river.

Probably, it has been eaten by crocodiles.

Dr. Morgan wailed.

With a broken heart, leave this place of sorrow.

……

On the side of the indigenous tribes, the old woman has not completely given up.

The reason why the shaman mother-in-law is worshiped by the tribe is not all by pretending to be a ghost.

In fact, she is a lycanthropist.

She used a needle polished from a fishbone to infuse the comatose boy in a primitive way.

Inject blood awakening agent.

The old woman didn't have any hope at all, and treated a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

But a miracle happened.

In the nightmare caused by the high fever, the boy learned the "calming meditation method", suppressed the veterinary virus, and miraculously survived!

From this day on, the boy from the city lived in the indigenous village and learned martial arts and magic from the shaman mother-in-law.

The animal blood continued to evolve as the boy grew up.

Soon, the boy awakened the animalization ability.

He often turns into a panther and hunts in the forest.

Occasionally, they also cooperate with local indigenous hunters to hunt and kill more difficult large beasts.

The strength of the boy, earned the hunter's adoration.

The legend about him spread among the indigenous tribes like this, and the more it spread, the more evil it became.

Even the colonists who established a trading post at the estuary wharf had heard of this leopard man named "Tarzan" haunting the jungle.

……

Five years later.

An expedition group came to the rainforest.

There are 20 people in the team and only one female member.

Wearing a hunting suit, wearing high boots, wearing a deerstalker hat, holding a copper binoculars in his hand.

This heroic blond girl is the patron and leader of the expedition, and her name is Arcadia von Mainz.

Arcadia is only 16 years old and is studying at the Faculty of Folklore and Natural History of Kachen University. She is very interested in rainforest ecology and indigenous folk culture.

This summer vacation, this adventurous noble lady organized a group at her own expense and came to the long-awaited Wakanda jungle.

Arcadia first heard the legend of "Tarzan the Panther" when he hired a guide at the Estuary Trading Post.

Tarzan, a handsome teenager who can transform into a black panther.

Not only that, it is said that leopard people are also kind and full of sense of justice.

He often helps the natives hunt wild beasts and fight against evil demihumans.

Even the colonists who got lost in the jungle were helped by him many times.

Miss Arcadia immediately became interested in this "noble savage".

So he modified the scientific expedition plan very willfully, and decided to set the search for the leopard man as the first priority.

The rest of the team, for the most part, didn't think so.

But there is no way, she is the boss, she has the final say.

During the expedition, the footprints of big cats were found.

It actually walks upright!
Arcadia was excited by this discovery.

According to her professional knowledge, it is concluded that the big cats that walk upright are probably the legendary leopard man.

Full of expectations, Arcadia led a team to track down the Leopard Man's footprints.

In the dark forest, faint insects could be heard from time to time.

In the air, there is a vague fragrance.

At first, including Arcadia, everyone thought that the scent of flowers was quite pleasant.

Continue to walk for a while, and the fragrance of flowers gradually becomes stronger.

The tangy fragrance makes people's hair dizzy.

There was even a faint smell of stench.

The guide was the first to realize that the situation was not good, and quickly urged everyone to cover their mouths and noses and retreat the same way!
It's too late.

In the dense forest, a gust of wind suddenly blew.

The increasingly intense floral fragrance sweeps with the wind.

To be precise, this can no longer be called a fragrance.

It is clearly a suffocating stench!
Like a rotting corpse!
The stench is mixed with toxins.

The expedition members inhaled unconsciously and passed out one after another.

Only Arcadia can still maintain a trace of sobriety.

This noble lady dared to go deep into the jungle to explore, not because of her pampering and capriciousness.

Her family inherited the lineage of the "Avenging Angel".

"Arcadia Celestial Avenger" is the origin of her name.

Arcadia has awakened the blood of an angel, and her cultivation level is at the late stage of the second order.

Under normal circumstances, monsters that secretly release poison are definitely not her opponents.

Reluctantly, Arcadia was born as a daughter of an aristocrat after all, and lacked experience in field adventures, so she was accidentally plotted against.

Just as she was struggling against the dizziness caused by the poison, there was a rustling sound in the forest.

A huge activated corpse-fragrant konjac slowly crawled over, dragging its vines.

This monster is about three meters high.

The petals are red and plump, emitting a foul smell.

A colony of bats is pollinating the stinking flowers.

To revitalize corpse-flavored konjac, it needs a lot of nutrition during the flowering season.

Live prey is her favorite meal.

Spread the fragrance of flowers, stun the prey, and then stretch the vines, drag the prey to the front, crush the bones, and accumulate them under the roots.

Like compost.

The climate of the tropical rainforest makes the corpses decompose quickly.

The activated corpse-flavored konjac sticks its roots into the carrion, and greedily absorbs the nutrient-rich liquid that decomposes the muscles.

This is how she eats.

Arcadia awakened to detoxify the spell, but at this time her consciousness was blurred, unable to focus on casting spells and detoxify by herself.

Seeing the smelly strange flower approaching, two vines were already entangled with the legs of the nearby scientific expedition team members and were dragging backwards.

Arcadia knew that if she couldn't hold on, the entire scientific expedition team would be wiped out.

The girl braced herself up, supported the tree trunk, and slowly got up.

Do your best to open the second-order atavistic form!
The whole body of Arcadia burst out with holy brilliance!
When the light faded, the image had completely changed.

All blonde hair turned to silver.

A metal mask covered his face, revealing a pair of bright eyes.

The gorgeous knight armor, as well as the pair of shining wings on the back, seem to be made of silver!

Arcadia's angelic form, like a tall and healthy silver sculpture, exudes holy brilliance!
However, she is not a real metal construct after all.

The body of an angel can only temporarily suppress the onset of toxins.

Arcadia still felt dizzy and unable to concentrate on casting spells.

She knew that there was not much time left for herself.

Must fight fast!

Miss Angel raised her hands, silently praying for the blessing of the ancestors.

The silver light in the palm flickered, and two balls of liquid metal slowly gushed out.

Extend upwards, shaping into the shape of a long sword.

Arcadia held silver swords in both hands, and rushed towards the Corpse Fragrance Konjac.

Swish! !
Amidst the sound of breaking wind, the sword light flashed continuously!
Cut off the two vines on the spot!
Arcadia raised the two swords horizontally with his backhand, and the hilts of the swords were butted together, as if they were tightly attracted by magnets.

Two one-handed swords combined into one double-ended sword.

Arcadia, twisting the hilt of her sword with both hands.

The double-ended sword roared and circled in front of her like a silver windmill.

Cut off all the vines that were constantly stretching over from the opposite side.

In a blink of an eye, the vines all over the body of the activated corpse fragrance konjac were shaved by the blade storm!
Activate the corpse-scented konjac, and slowly retreat.

She was scared and wanted to run away!

Arcadia gritted her teeth, a killing intent appeared in her eyes!
Can't let go of this strange flower!

Otherwise, wait until you are exhausted and unconscious...

What if the monster turns back again? !

Now that I can still fight, I must kill them all to eliminate future troubles forever!

Arcadia draws magic power, and empowers the double-headed sword with the signature secret skill of the angel family-the holy cut.

The silver blade, the light soars!
Divine energy, if it has substance!
Arcadia raised her double-headed sword and swung forward vigorously.

At this time, she was no less than ten meters away from Corpse Fragrance Konjac.

Under normal circumstances, the other party cannot be touched.

However, at the moment of swinging the sword——

The blade of the sword suddenly shone brightly, sparking a burst of sword energy!
Tier 2 Martial Skill - A Flash of Sword Qi!
Swish! !

Arcadia's sword energy is like a silver crescent.

Breaking away from the blade, he whizzed across the air and slashed towards Corpse Fragrance Konjac.

This blow incorporated the "Holy Slash", and the extra brilliance damage was even more powerful than "A Flash of Sword Qi" itself!

Click!

Sword Qi flashed by.

The thick activated corpse-flavored konjac was directly cut off in the middle!
"Huh...it's finally over."

Seeing that the strange flower had been killed, Arcadia let out a long sigh of relief.

As soon as the nerves are relaxed, I feel weak all over.

Leaning against the tree trunk, he sat down slowly and fell into a coma.

The angel is armed and disarmed automatically after she loses consciousness.

The silver avenging angel, transformed into a schoolgirl again.

At this time, there were slight footsteps in the forest.

A black panther jumped out of the grass and walked quickly to the girl's side.

He lowered his head and sniffed her breath.

After confirming that she was still alive, her green eyes revealed a look of relief.

The panther stands upright, on two feet like a human.

In a blink of an eye, it turned into a leopard-headed human body.

The naked body is tall and vigorous, without a trace of fat.

Under the glossy black fur, strong muscle lines are highlighted.

The black panther looked around at the fainted people in the forest, with a sad expression on his face.

He is not good at detoxification, what should we do?
"give it to me."

Allen finally found the right opportunity to suppress the ancestral spirit's self-will and take over control of this body.

From a bystander to the real protagonist of this ancestral memory.

The young Panther, Tarzan Morgan.

He accepted his leadership very cooperatively, and his self-will quietly retreated behind the scenes.

Allen moved his hands and feet, and was very satisfied with his panther form.

Look down at your crotch...

It seems a bit indecent to be foolish.

Looking around, he walked towards the nearest male scientific expedition member.

He took off his pants and put them on himself.

I'm a little skinny, but I can wear it just enough.

Allen was in the back of his pants, ripped a hole, and pulled out his own tail.

Much more comfortable now.

Wagging his tail, he walked up to Arcadia.

A one-inch bone spur popped out from the palm of his left hand, piercing the girl's skin and sucking out the toxins from her body.

For other comatose, do the same.

Arcadia, worthy of being a descendant of angels, has a stronger physique than ordinary people.

The last one was poisoned and passed out, and the first one woke up.

When he opened his eyes and saw the black panther boy, his face was filled with surprise.

"Whoa! Mister Ta, Ta, Tarzan! Is that really you?"

"Nice to meet you! Can I have an autograph?"

Allen flicked his tail and complained secretly.

This golden cat has a pretty face, and it doesn't seem very smart.

Escaping from the dead, not crying or making trouble, but still staying here silly and happy, what a big heart!

Allen picked up Arcadia, carried it on his shoulder, turned and left.

Arcadia was startled, but calmed down quickly.

Struggling to turn over on his shoulders, he adjusted from a prone position to a sitting position.

Wrapping his right arm around his neck, he anchored himself on the panther man's broad, strong shoulders.

"Hey! Mr. Tarzan, you haven't answered my question yet!"

The noble girl sat on the shoulder of the leopard-headed monster, with her little feet dangling and her mouth chattering endlessly.

"You don't understand my language?"

"I learned a few words of Wakanda's native dialect..."

"Let me see, what do you say 'hello' to..."

"Don't bother, I can understand what you said." Allen said angrily.

"That's great! Thanks to Zu Ling, the communication barrier between us has been removed!"

The girl was so happy from ear to ear.

"Mr. Taishan, your accent is very standard, where did you learn the common language?"

"I don't need to be taught, I will." Allen put his arms around her calf and quickened his pace, "Besides, my name is not Tarzan."

"Then you are...?"

"My name is Tazan." Allen explained casually, "The aborigines can't pronounce clearly, so they mispronounced it as Mount Tai, but it doesn't matter."

"So that's how it is!" Arcadia looked surprised, "It's so strange to hear the word aborigines from your mouth!"

"Mr. Tazan, aren't you the most authentic aborigine?"

"Actually, I'm not." Allen shook his head.

The fluffy leopard ears rubbed against the outside of the girl's waist.

Both felt itchy.

Allen was silent.

Arcadia couldn't help shrinking back, giggling.

"Tazan, you can call me Arcadia."

"Ah."

"Actually, you can let me down, and I will go by myself!"

Allen shook his head, still carrying her on his shoulders.

Arcadia, soon understood why he persisted.

Not far from the opposite side, a mountain stream split the jungle.

There are cliffs on both sides of the mountain stream.

It is a hundred feet wide, and there are no bridges to cross it.

"Hold me tight." Allen urged.

Arcadia arched her back, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Tazan, don't you want to jump over the cliff directly?"

Allen nodded.

Arcadia's face paled slightly.

"Actually, you don't have to, because I—"

Before the words fell, Allen had already jumped up.

Holding the girl's slender calf tightly with his left hand, he freed his right hand to grab a vine hanging down in the air.

Just like swinging on a swing, use your strength to fly forward.

Fly over the mountain stream and grab another vine.

Such a relay swing until they leap over the deep ravine and reach the other side.

puff!
Allen landed on both feet smoothly.

The air in the ear, like the long scream of a soprano singer's coloratura, has not stopped.

"Ahhh-"

Allen rubbed his ears, and put down the screaming girl with her eyes closed.

"Ahhh—ah?" Arcadia opened her eyes and found that she had already passed the cliff, "Oh! That's all right!"

Wiping off the cold sweat, Arcadia said with lingering fear: "I was scared to death! I almost peed out!"

Allen pricked up his ears vigilantly, turned his head and sniffed his shoulder.

"What are you smelling? I mean it was close!" The girl's cheeks were flushed, and she stomped her feet coquettishly.

Allen shrugged and remained silent.

"I didn't have time to say it just now." Arcadia smiled wryly, "Actually, you don't have to hug me to do this dangerous move, because... I can fly."

"........."

Allen recalled Arcadia's angel form, and it did have a pair of conspicuous wings.

"It doesn't matter whether you can fly or not, I just want to be handsome."

Allen simply told the truth.

"By the way, since you can fly, why did you scream in fright just now?"

"Uh……"

Now it was Arcadia's turn to be embarrassed.

"That's just instinct... well, subconscious behavior, don't worry about it!"

At this time, there was a shout from the opposite side of the mountain stream.

Arcadia's teammates caught up and were waving and shouting in this direction.

Allen glanced at them, turned back and said to Arcadia: "Not far ahead, it is the village of the Wakanda people. You can report my name, and you can get food and straw huts there."

"Great! I'm going to the Wakanda tribe to interview the local folk customs!" Arcadia was full of joy, "By the way, how did my teammates come here?"

"Don't expect me to carry them over one by one." Allen replied coldly, "Can't you fly? Become an angel and carry them over."

"I don't!" Arcadia rolled her eyes.

Miss Noble, how can you do such a job of serving others?

"Then let them take a detour, it's not too far anyway." After that, Allen went straight forward.

"Tazan, wait a minute!" Arcadia trotted to catch up, "Aren't you going to the native village with me?"

"I still have to hunt, and I'll be home later."

"I'll be waiting for you back in the village!"

"it's up to you."

"Thank you today, otherwise we would be miserable!" Arcadia said gratefully, "How can I repay you?"

"You can try to repay me with colored glass beads, and say that they are high-end gemstones produced in the civilized world." Allen said lightly.

"Huh? Hehehehe...I didn't expect you to be so humorous!"

Arcadia laughed.

"I heard that the colonists often used this trick to deceive the simple aborigines. I will not do such immoral things!"

Arcadia stopped laughing, took Allen's hand with a sincere expression.

"Tazan, my friend! I really want to repay you!"

Allen stopped and looked down at the girl's innocent eyes.

"If you really want to repay, please bring me a letter and hand it to Dr. Morgan at Kachen University."

"Aha?!" Arcadia was shocked, "I'm studying at Kachen University! Do you know the vice president of our Folklore College?"

"Of course I do." Allen sighed.

His fused ancestral spirit is Dr. Morgan's only son, Tazan Morgan.

The two walked and chatted.

Arcadia was very sympathetic when he heard what happened to him five years ago, patted her plump chest, and promised to help him deliver the letter.

Arcadia's team visited the Wakanda village for two weeks.

For Allen's sake, the local aborigines were very enthusiastic about them and answered every question.

This expedition has been fruitful.

The return date is approaching, and Arcadia is reluctant to part with her.

What I can't let go of the most is the Black Panther.

When parting, Arcadia hugged Allen and made a promise to him with sincere affection.

"Dear friend, I will be back!"
