Chapter 51: Mysterious Beast
In the secluded and beautiful river valley, Duan Wuya was sitting upright resting in place, his body was slightly squirming, recovering the consumption brought by the forging weapon.
At a certain moment, his gaze suddenly fell to one place, his face was a little puzzled, and he muttered to himself.
"Strange, why do you feel like something is peeping?"
In his eyes, there were many large bluestones scattered, and there was nothing else, which also made him laugh.
Just as he came back to his senses, a slight strange sound came to his ears, and he locked his gaze directly on a certain place and roared out.
"Come out!"
With his shouting, behind a certain piece of bluestone, a head slowly poked out, it was a cute little beast covered in snow-white, with big watery eyes, the size was about the size of a palm, and it looked very small.
"Whew~"
Seeing Duan Wuya, the former also called softly, looking curious and a little afraid.
"Huh, orcs?"
Duan Wuya was also surprised, the vigilance on his face slowly converged, no matter how the other party looked at it, he was just a little milk beast, and he was not a threat to him.
Just when he couldn't help but get closer, the little beast suddenly bowed and made a defensive gesture and roared at him, and then the snow-white body disappeared strangely in place, and when it reappeared, it had already landed on another bluestone not far away.
"Damn!"
Duan Wuya immediately screamed, looking at this snow-white little guy in disbelief, his eyes were stunned.
"This speed is comparable to that of a fourth-order battlemaster....."
"Woo woo woo ~ "
The little beast stood on the bluestone not far away and looked at this side, and then he wrinkled his nose and inhaled hard in the air, and his face was intoxicated.
Duan Wuya was immediately stunned, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he thought of a possibility: "I must have been attracted by the fragrance of spirit crystals." ”
When forging the Kun Dragon Spear before, the Origin Qi had already dispersed, and now there was still a strange fragrance in the air, which was a kind of pure energy, and for the Beast Clan, a magical race that grew by absorbing energy, the attraction was fatal.
Thinking about it, Duan Wuya couldn't help but take out the spirit crystal in the storage bag, and the little beast not far away saw the spirit crystal, his face quickly showed joy, and his body disappeared directly in place, and suddenly rushed to Duan Wuya's feet, wagging his little tail and holding his head high with a flattering gesture.
Duan Wuya was also taken aback, looking at the other party's greedy appearance, he suddenly smiled: "Sure enough, it's because of this spirit crystal..."
He lost his mind, and suddenly a strong force struck in front of him, only to see the little beast open its mouth, revealing the little tiger teeth inside, there was clearly a trace of cunning in his eyes, and the spirit crystal was caught by the suction, and it shot directly into his mouth.
The little beast jumped up happily and took the spirit crystal in one mouth, and at the same time, the pure energy quickly leaked out, directly forming a thick energy shield around him.
Duan Wuya's face was pale, he didn't pay attention just now, that little beast actually snatched the spirit crystal away, and this little beast was obviously unusual, and he wanted to refine it directly as soon as he got it.
"Cunning brute!"
Duan Wuya was full of anger, seeing that the spirit crystal was swallowed by the little beast, but he couldn't stop it.
The latter's face was already intoxicated, just floating in the center of energy, and there was a glimmer of light on his body.
Just as Duan Wuya gritted his teeth, there was a sudden change in the field, only to see that the originally calm energy suddenly rioted, squeezing towards the little beast in the center, and the latter's eyes immediately flashed panic, and he quickly opened his mouth to spit out the spirit crystal.
Duan Wuya was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed, and the suction power in his hand was released, and the spirit crystal was withdrawn.
Taking a closer look, the spirit crystal, which was originally only the size of a thumb, had actually shrunk by a circle, and it was obvious that during that time just now, the little beast had successfully absorbed part of it.
"This thief is angry with me!"
This situation directly made Duan Wuya's flesh ache, and he was just about to scold, but a wail sounded in his ears.
I saw that the little beast was wrapped in violent energy, and above his head, there was actually a looming whirlpool, Duan Wuya was shocked and looked at it incredibly.
"This guy is actually on the promotion?!"
The growth of the beast race is similar to that of human cultivation, but because of their own conditions, their promotion is often very difficult, and I didn't expect the little beast in front of me to actually reach this step, which is also amazing.
The energy in the field was still wanton, constantly impacting the little beast's body, there were already many small wounds between his hair, and the slightest hint of red dyed the snow-white hair, and the wail made Duan Wuya's heart soften.
"Hey, the energy of the spirit crystal is too huge, how can you absorb it at will, now you have tasted the bitterness. ”
The little beast took the liberty of sucking the spirit crystal, but underestimated the purity of this energy, and did not expect that soon after absorbing it, it directly stepped into the promotion stage, causing itself to fall into the current danger.
Even if he reacted and spit out the spirit crystal in time, it was too late, the aura vortex above his head had already formed, and the thunder would fall later, and if he couldn't resist it, he would have to fall here.
"Woo~"
The little beast's sorrowful howl appeared anxious, if it continued like this, he would not have to survive until the thunderstorm came, he would be directly blown up by the energy and explode to death.
His gaze fell on Duan Wuya, to be precise, on the remaining piece of spirit crystal in his hand, with a strong desire in his eyes.
Duan Wuya immediately understood, his face flashed with a strong struggle, the little beast obviously knew his own danger, and now there was only one way left, that is, to carry the thunder tribulation, but to do so must be supported by a huge amount of energy.
Duan Wuya's hesitant demeanor also fell into the eyes of the little beast, his eyes welled up with desolation, and the next moment, he couldn't help but look back at a certain place in the river valley behind him, where there was a faint shadow of a small mountain, from the appearance, it looked like the outline of some kind of animal, a clear teardrop slipped down the corner of the little beast's eyes, and then he actually let out a human-like cry from his mouth: "Mom... Mom..."
In the field, the young man trembled like a lightning strike, his heart cramped violently, and then his eyes changed, and he directly threw out half of the spirit crystal in his hand, and roared.
"Little thing, it's your fortune to meet me, this spirit crystal energy is huge, half of the amount is enough to maintain your needs, and then it's up to you!"
The little beast's originally desperate eyes swelled with hope again, and he took the spirit crystal in his mouth, glanced at Duan Wuya deeply, and then looked up at the whirlpool above his head, and let out a roar.
The valley was drowned in thunder, and the clouds in the sky had disappeared at some point, replaced by a dull sky, in which thunder constantly loomed, and the power was terrifying.
Duan Wu's figure retreated again and again, he didn't want to be affected by this thunder tribulation that was even more terrifying than the Three Treasure Thunder Light.
In the blink of an eye, a thunderbolt leaked down, directly slashing at the little beast, and all the energy on his body gushed out, condensing into a thick shield outside his body.
The collision of energy made his vision a little blurred, and Duan Wuya couldn't see the situation in the field clearly, but judging from that fluctuation, the situation in the center of the vortex was definitely dangerous.
"I didn't expect to meet the orcs to advance, and no one is lucky... But the power of this thunder tribulation is a bit exaggerated, I wonder what kind of demonic beast that little beast can attract such a movement?"
Trying to calm down the excitement in his heart, Duan Wuya couldn't help but be curious, he had heard some secret stories of the beast clan from Long Ye, and there was an introduction among them.
The promotion of the beast clan leads to the thunder tribulation, which is generally divided into two situations: first, the demonic beast with extremely noble bloodline will inevitably be accompanied by the heavenly tribulation as long as it is promoted; second, the other party is undergoing a high-level promotion, that is to say, it is the level evolution above the third-order demonic beast.
Thinking of this, Duan Wuya couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for the little beast in his heart, this promotion is extremely difficult, once it fails, it will die, thinking of that ending, his heart is also gushing with inexplicable sadness, maybe this is the resonance between all things.
"Hey, you're going to have to do it. He whispered.
At this moment, the thunder tribulation in the air suddenly became ferocious, and the next moment, the shield in the field shattered inch by inch, and a shadow was directly struck by the thunder, instantly becoming scorched black, and after a miserable scream, all movement stopped abruptly.
Duan Wuya's heart trembled, and he sighed secretly: "Hey, did you fail?"
The fluctuations in the air had already dissipated rapidly, and soon the river valley returned to normal again, but on the water stream not far away, there was an extra charred black beast corpse.
I saw that the original snow-white fluff of the little beast had been burned, leaving only the ugly epidermis, and this skin had been burned into black charcoal by the thunder, and the little beast's eyes were closed, and there was no life.
A figure quickly swept away, bringing the little beast back to the bluestone, and for a while afterward, Duan Wuya sat in the middle of the field in a trance, looking at the poor corpse.
"Heaven and earth are unkind to all things as dogs, maybe, one day I will end up like you, right?"
Sadness was born from the heart, and the strength on his fingers suddenly surged, and he swiped over the bluestone again and again, and a row of small characters was engraved, writing: "The tomb of the nameless beast, the monument is endless."
After doing this, the boy finally got up, and just in the distance there was another hearty laugh, it was the wolf who was out of the customs.
"Haha, little brother, the old man has re-refined the divine weapon, and according to the agreement, it's time to go back. ”
Duan Wuya quickly put away his sad look and swept towards the old man, and the two of them looked at each other and set off decisively, swept out somewhere.
But they didn't notice that not long after leaving, the charred black skin of the beast corpse suddenly cracked strangely, and a strong vitality slowly burst out on it, and with a "whoosh" beast roar, the black dead skin cracked, and a small beast actually came out of it.
The beast's hair is still as white as ice and snow, but from the center of its eyebrows to its back, there is an extra tuft of fiery red hair, and the little beast that originally looked petite and cute has a trace of domineering out of thin air at this moment.
As soon as he appeared, he sniffed hard, and then looked in the direction of someone's departure, and his eyes flashed with brilliance, as if to engrave that person in his mind.
