Chapter 16: The Evil Beast

After Chen Yuan's experiments, he had roughly figured out the basic situation of this new force in his body, the power of qi and blood. In the case of all-out shot, the current power of Qi and blood possessed by Chen Yuan can support nearly fifteen minutes or so, although it is short, but with Chen Yuan's flesh strengthened by absorbing spiritual energy after several years as the basis, the power and explosive power generated by the increase of ten times have surpassed the Great Ash who is the beast king, and if you only talk about the physical strength, it has also surpassed the alien beast Lu Shu living in the inner circle of Xingchen Lake. Of course, if you really want to fight, Lu Shu can still rely on the elemental control of water and fire attributes to achieve an overwhelming advantage.

In addition to the relatively short duration, Chen Yuan also discovered some drawbacks of the power of qi and blood, such as the attack distance. The increase generated by the power of qi and blood is completely reflected in the strength of the body, not even the obvious vision, and it is completely restrained inside Chen Yuan's body, although this is more confusing and sudden, but the attack distance is also greatly shortened. This means that Tatsumoto can only attack effectively at close range, and once the enemy distances and fights him, he will immediately fall into passivity.

There is also the side effect of strength, after the power of qi and blood is completely consumed, Chen Yuan's body will produce fatigue, soreness and weakness, only after a period of buffering, the body can return to normal, after Chen Yuan's test, this period of time is about half an hour. In other words, if Chen Yuan has not defeated the enemy before the power of qi and blood is exhausted, then he will be reduced to a lamb to be slaughtered.

For these drawbacks, Lu Shu is no exception, it instructed Chen Yuan, until the last resort, must preserve a trace of qi and blood power in the body, because as long as there is the power of qi and blood, Chen Yuan's body will not be affected by side effects, and with Chen Yuan's excellent physical ability, even with his body alone, he can do many things, such as escaping. Therefore, unless you are forced into a desperate situation, you must retain a trace of qi and blood, and when you are not sure that your situation is absolutely safe, you must not fall into a state of powerlessness. Tatsumoto said that he would take this advice to heart.

Due to the effect of testing the power of qi and blood, Chen Yuan and Da Ash borrowed it for another night in Lushu's residence. On the morning of the third day after they entered the forbidden land of Star Lake, Chen Yuan and Big Ash decided to leave for the village, and Lu Shu offered to give them a ride for their safety. So, they set off from Lushu's residence early in the morning.

Chen Yuan lay on the back of the big gray, and Lu Shu followed behind them. With Lu Shu here, Chen Yuan and Da Gray were also bold, not cautious when they first entered the forest, they couldn't walk twenty miles in two hours, and their speed was increased by more than one grade, and soon, they came to the river where they met Lu Shu.

Lushu told them that this river was the dividing line between the outer and the inner. Because there are usually many internal beasts that live nearby to drink water, it is rare for external beasts to dare to come here. Remembering that since he crossed the river with Big Ash, he had never seen the withered scale python chasing him again, Chen Yuan secretly said in his heart: "Presumably this is also the reason why the withered scale snake did not dare to come to this direction to investigate." ”

Lu Shu's pleasant hiss sounded, and with the slight shaking of its head, two streams of water rose from the river, one held up the bodies of Big Ash and Chen Yuan, and the other held up his own body, one man and two beasts, just like that, they were sent to the other side by the current. Looking at Lu Shu's calm control of the water flow, Chen Yuan and Da Ash were a little envious.

Just when Chen Yuan was about to say something, an evil wind blew, and a strange beast appeared on the other side of the river, when he saw the appearance of this strange beast, Chen Yuan and Lu Shu both looked pale and realized that they were in trouble. The burly body like a cow is covered with dark red hair, causing the whole body to seem to be soaked in blood, with hooves like horses, knotted muscles, and the most bizarre thing is that there is a long handsome man's face on such a body, which is really extremely evil.

Chen Yuan knew that the name of this strange beast was 猰 (ya four sounds) 貐 (yu three sounds), and it was a very famous strange beast in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and this fame certainly meant notoriety. According to legend, Qi Qi was originally a god of heaven, the son of a candle dragon, with an honest and kind temperament, and was later killed by the god Er. The Emperor of Heaven couldn't bear to see the candle dragon sad, so he used the immortal medicine to revive Qiqi. Unexpectedly, after it was resurrected, it became a ferocious beast that exclusively ate humans, and was later killed by Hou Yi. If this legend is true, then this strange beast with the blood of the candle dragon in front of him must be extremely difficult to deal with.

"Whew!" Seeing Chenyuan on the other side of the river, the greed and ferocity in his eyes seemed to overflow his eyes, and he showed an evil smile and suddenly disappeared into the shadows. Lu Shu let out a high-pitched hiss, a little forehead, a series of water arrows shot at the shadow of Chen Yuan and the big ash, the sound of the gold and iron clashing sounded, the originally disappeared Qiqi appeared in the shadow of Chen Yuan and the big gray, the front hooves that were about to attack were blocked by Lu Shu's water arrows, and the sound of the gold and iron striking was the sound of the water arrows hitting the front hooves of the Qi.

Chen Yuan and Big Ash hurriedly turned around, Chen Yuan was even more shocked into a cold sweat, and said in his heart: "This should be the power of the dark element, it is so terrifying, silently sneaking into the shadow of himself and Big Ash from the other side of the river." Seeing that the blow missed, the human face showed a strange expression, the mouth opened wide, and a black ball of light shot out of its mouth, heading straight for Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan immediately judged that it could not be hard-connected, slapped the big gray back, and took advantage of his strength to soar into the air, dodging the attack of the black ball of light. Who knew that the ball of light suddenly split and flew in all directions, Chen Yuan was shocked, and curled up in the air as much as possible to reduce the possibility of being hit. After a round of attacks, Chen Yuan was lucky because his ten-year-old body was petite, and he curled up for the first time, and the attack split by the already small black ball of light did not hit his body. But Big Gray is more miserable, because of its large size, the black ball of light split above it, and at least three places on its body were hit by the ball of light, and the weird black ball of light completely ignored Big Ash's tough fur, and was firmly embedded in Big Ash's body.

"Woo!" Ash screamed in pain. Chen Yuan landed beside Big Ash, and saw that Big Ash's shoulders, back, and hind legs all had deep scars that could be seen from bone, and there seemed to be some black light flickering in this scar, preventing Big Ash's body from self-healing and stopping bleeding. "Big Ash, Big Ash, hold on!" Chen Yuan hurriedly took out two bottles of hemostatic medicine commonly used at home from his baggage, looking at the black light that still existed on the big ash's wound, Chen Yuan was ruthless, took out a dagger from the baggage, and said to Big Ash: "Big Ash, bear with it first." ”

Gritting his teeth, Chen Yuan raised his knife and swung it three times in a row, cutting off the flesh and blood with strange power attached to the big gray wound. "Woo~Woo~" Big Ash screamed weakly a few times, and the heavy bleeding had made Big Ash have no strength to scream. Seeing this, Chen Yuan immediately sprinkled the muscle-building and hemostatic medicine on Da Ash's wound, tore his shirt into pieces three times and divided it by two, and bandaged it on Da Ash's wound. Seeing that the blood gradually stopped, Chen Yuan took out a few herbs from the baggage that he picked on the way back and planned to go back to make medicinal soup for his grandfather, and crushed them and fed them to the mouth of Da Ash. Fortunately, because this world is full of aura, the effect of the herbs produced is also extraordinary, and an emergency treatment has gradually stabilized the breath of the big ash, and Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Lu Shu and Qi Qi have also played a real fire. When he saw that Da Ash was seriously injured, the good-tempered Lu Shu was angry, and seriously injured his friend in front of him, no matter how powerful Qi Qi was, Lu Shu would never stop there. It was also Lu Shu who dragged the Qi Qi that Chen Yuan had the opportunity to give an emergency treatment to Da Ash's injury, if it was not dealt with in time, the residual power of the black ball of light alone would be enough to make Da Ash bleed to death.

The blue and red light on Lu Shu's side reflected each other, and the fireball water arrows flew out like a bead, blasting towards the Monkey, and the Monkey was hidden in the shadows, constantly changing its position to avoid Lu Shu's attack, and only occasionally the attack that could not be avoided was blocked with the black ball of light.

Seeing this situation, Chen Yuan couldn't help frowning, it can't go on like this, the consumption of Lushu is too great, and in the end, I am afraid that he will be dragged to death by Qiqi. "No, I have to help it!" Chen Yuan said secretly as he stared at the scene of the battle between the two beasts.
