Chapter 9: The Law of Blood and Gas
Under Yuan Ming's gaze, I saw that the black sarcoma suddenly began to squirm rapidly, and wisps of black silk threads began to split on it, which continued to extend and poked towards Yuan Ming's chest.
Yuan Ming's eyes suddenly widened, he would rather die than be parasitized by this ghost thing, making life worse than death.
During the struggle, he found that although his arms were still tied, his wrists could still move, so he immediately twisted his wrists and threw them upward.
The white bone spear that he had been holding in his hand immediately flew up in the air and came to his eyes.
Yuan Ming did not hesitate at all, used all his strength, and hit him headlong.
The bone spear was shot like a javelin, and the black bear stabbed in a split second before the ribs closed.
"Roaring ......"
The black bear let out an angry roar from its mouth, the ribs that were originally closing stiffened, and the black silk threads that extended towards Yuan Ming slowly retreated.
Immediately afterwards, the black bear's chest slowly opened again, and the bone spear that pinned Yuan Ming's last hope was piercing the black bear's heart, only a millimeter away from the black sarcoma, but it failed to hit after all.
The black bear's heart was still contracting, and the black silk threads rushed towards Yuan Ming's chest like crazy.
Yuan Ming's eyes were stared, and the expression on his face was extremely nervous.
Just before the black silk thread was about to touch his skin, the black bear's beating heart went into arrest, and the black sarcoma squirmed frantically as if it had encountered a ghost, trying to get out of the black bear's heart.
The black silk threads that stretched towards Yuan Ming also lost their strength in an instant, and they all fell lightly.
"Great, caught up." Yuan Ming was so excited that he almost burst into tears.
At the last moment of life and death, the poisonous fruits he ate yesterday saved his life.
Just before setting the trap, Yuan Ming mashed all the fruits and smeared the juice on all the bone spurs and the tips of the two short spears.
Probably because it only stabbed the body of the black bear, the toxicity did not affect the parasite, but this time it directly acted on the heart, and the black sarcoma was also directly affected by the toxic effect and lost its strength.
The vines wrapped around Yuan Ming's body suddenly fell off, and together with the strange big flowers on the black bear's body, they also withered, turning into powder at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his body and the black bear fell to the ground almost at the same time.
The black sarcoma that was parasitic on the heart of the black bear finally broke away and fell aside, and the color on it quickly faded, and after a while it turned gray and white, looking no different from an ordinary stone.
Seeing this, Yuan Ming didn't dare to delay in the slightest, and hurriedly got up and came to the corpse of the black bear.
While the black bear was still dead, he quickly took off the animal skin pouch from his body, cut the black bear's neck with a bone gun, and picked up its remaining blood.
After tossing for a while, all the black bear's blood was drained, and only half of the pouch was collected.
"The beasts are of different sizes, the amount of blood is uncertain, and the man didn't say that he would collect them all, these should be enough." Yuan Ming sealed the mouth of the bag, raised it and shook it, and said to himself.
With that, he put the bag back on, glanced at the bear corpse beside him, and his stomach "growled" again.
Faced with such a large piece of beast meat, Yuan Ming was a little reluctant to throw it, but when he thought that it had been parasitized, he felt a little nervous.
But the diaphragm in my heart can't withstand the hunger in my stomach after all.
Just in case, Yuan Ming did not directly eat the meat of the black bear this time, but found a bunch of dead branches and leaves, followed the example of the ancients to drill wood to make fire, and finally made a fire and roasted the bear meat.
During the barbecue, Yuan Ming came to the parasitic sarcoma, and saw that it had turned into a fist-sized gray-brown stone, which looked lifeless, but he still couldn't help poking it with a bone gun.
As a result, he found that the stone was unusually hard, completely different from the black sarcoma state.
Yuan Ming suddenly became interested.
He waved his hand at the stone, and seeing that it did not react in the slightest, he reached closer, only to find that there was still no movement.
"Looks completely dead."
Just when Yuan Ming was about to give up, a drop of animal blood suddenly fell on the animal skin bag on his waist, and with a "snap", it landed on the gray-brown stone.
The corpse, which had not had the slightest life, suddenly swelled, and the surface was activated again to look like a black sarcoma.
But soon, the power of that drop of blood was exhausted, and the black sarcoma shriveled up again and turned back into stone.
"It's a little bit interesting." Yuan Ming couldn't help but be surprised.
He took a few leaves, wrapped the stone, and set it aside.
After the bear meat was charred and blackened, emitting a rich meat aroma, Yuan Ming tore off a piece and nibbled on it.
This meal was the most satisfying thing Yuan Ming had eaten in these days, but what puzzled him was that although the cooked beast meat could fill his stomach, it did not have the feeling of being full of blood when he gnawed bones yesterday.
"Could it be that the black bear's blood has been drained, so the qi and blood have been greatly damaged? Or is it only a raw food that has that effect? Yuan Ming was puzzled.
He glanced up at the sky, and saw that it was already the middle of the day, so he did not delay any longer, and took the uneaten beast meat and the parasitic stone with him, and put them in the cave where he had been hiding.
Then, according to the route he remembered, he searched for the direction of the giant stone boundary monument.
……
In the evening, when Yuan Ming finally returned to the Boulder Boundary Monument, he did not see the figure of Elder Huhuo, only a colorful tiger lying sideways beside the stone with its back to him.
Hearing Yuan Ming's return, the tiger suddenly turned around, but sat up in a human posture and looked over at him.
Yuan Ming also looked at him, neither of them spoke, let alone made unnecessary movements, but just separated themselves from each other for a long time, staring at each other vigilantly.
At this moment, a "rumbling" galloping sound sounded.
Suddenly, a brown-black wild boar rushed out of the dense mountain forest and rushed to this side.
Yuan Ming immediately clenched the white bone short spear in his hand and became vigilant, and the tiger also turned its head, and the tiger's eyes were round.
I saw that the wild boar was covered in scars, a pair of animal teeth were covered with blood, and the animal skin bag hanging on his body looked bulging.
When he was about to get here, he also saw Yuan Ming and the tiger, and his speed quickly slowed down, and finally stopped not far away.
Three half-human, half-beast creatures surrounded the boulder boundary monument in a manner, guarding each other and looking at each other.
After waiting for a long time, no other figure appeared.
It wasn't until the sun was about to set that the huge falcon flapped its wings, and the figure of the Elder Flame was standing on its back.
After landing on the ground, Elder Huhuo patted the leather bag on his waist, and then a blue light flew out, enveloping the mighty and domineering huge falcon, and swept back into the bag and disappeared.
Even if he saw it for the second time, Yuan Ming still felt that the scene in front of him was extremely magical.
"Give me the blood bag." Elder Huhuo's gaze swept over Yuan Ming and the three of them and said.
The three of them understood, and they took off the animal skin bags on their bodies and sent them over.
Elder Huhuo opened them one by one, sniffed them at his nose and mouth, and examined them carefully.
When he saw that Yuan Ming's bag was only half a bag, he didn't say anything, but after opening it and smelling it, his brows couldn't help frowning.
"This black bear you killed was parasitized by the Blood Soul Vine?" Elder Huhuo looked at Yuan Ming and asked.
"What Blood Soul Vine?" When Yuan Ming heard this, his face was dazed.
Elder Huhuo frowned, didn't say anything more, and waved his hand to put away all the blood storage bags.
"Not bad, three people passed the test." Elder Huhuo nodded, then pointed out.
Three filamentous white lights shot out from his fingertips, falling on the chests of Yuan Ming and the three of them, and blending into the bodies of the three in a flash.
Before Yuan Ming could react, he felt a burst of warmth in his chest, and then the white ape skin on his body became soft, and the blood-colored lines like roots on the inside of the animal skin were pulled out of his body, pulling his muscles and internal organs.
Yuan Ming's face was twisted, and his whole body was in severe pain, as if the entire human skin was being peeled off raw, which was much more painful than when he put on the ape skin before.
He trembled, couldn't help bending his knees, knelt on the ground, and propped his arms on the ground, but he gritted his teeth and didn't shout.
The other two were in a similar situation, but they didn't have Yuan Ming's perseverance, and they fell to the ground trembling one after another, screaming miserably.
Fortunately, this process did not last long, and after a few breaths, the animal skin on the three people was completely taken off and fell to the ground.
But Yuan Ming and the three of them seemed to have spent several hours, sitting on the ground like prostration, their skin was red, and the clothes on their bodies were full of holes.
The three of them collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, and it took a while to barely recover, and the eyes that looked at the animal skin were very complicated.
After putting on the skins, their strength increased greatly, but the pain was really terrible.
"It takes a lot of pain for outsiders to perform the draping technique, but when you cultivate your mana and perform it yourself, the situation will be much better." The voice of Elder Huhuo's voice came and interrupted the thoughts of the three of them.
"Really?" The three of them were all overjoyed when they heard this.
"Whether it's true or not, you'll know if you've tried it! Next, I will teach you the Blood and Qi Method, listen attentively! Elder Huhuo said impatiently.
The three of them hurriedly sat down and listened intently.
"The so-called 'blood qi method' is a practice to enhance blood qi through meditation and qi refining, and after entering the school, it can be regarded as truly stepping into the path of cultivating immortals that everyone envies, becoming a monk in the qi refining period, and accumulating a certain amount of mana, you can perform the mana technique. The mantra is as follows, there is fire in the lungs of the earth, entering from the secluded spring, rising into the abdomen, brilliant as a torch......" Elder Huhuo said slowly.
The entire Blood Qi Method formula is two or three hundred words, and the content is quite tongue-twisting, but Yuan Ming found that he could easily remember it word for word after listening to it once.
"My memory is so good." He was quite surprised, but more happy.
The other two kept scratching their ears and cheeks, their faces full of anxiety, obviously not remembering.
"Elder Huhuo, can you say that again?" The boar-clad beast slave hesitated for a moment, then pleaded.
"I'll just say it one last time." Elder Huhuo glanced at the man indifferently and recited the mantra of the Blood Qi Method.
The two hurriedly memorized it by heart, and this time they finally barely memorized it.
