Chapter 222: Demon Pupil
Three days later, except for the loss of pure yang qi, Ye Fan's injuries had basically recovered. In the Qilin Grottoes that day, although Ye Fan looked embarrassed, he was actually dangerous, but most of the injuries he received were skin injuries!
Among them, "Netherworld Immortal" has a short outbreak time and has not suffered much damage itself, so the backlash caused by it can hardly be mentioned, and within these three days, it has been used by Ye Fan with "Medium Grade Yanyang Pill" Replenished back, and the only trouble is the consumption of pure yang qi, speaking of which, Ye Fan has just stepped into the realm of five yangs, and there is not much pure yang qi that he has condensed from the masculine qi, this time it is almost completely squandered, although it will not fall into the realm, but if you want to progress again and break through the realm of six yangs, you need to make up for these losses of pure yang qi first!
"Whew!"
A wisp of white qi spit out from Ye Fan's mouth and turned into a small sword three feet long, dividing the ancient tree that had been hidden for three days into two halves.
After opening his eyes, Ye Fan glanced at the red fire monkey that was still sleeping beside him, and the corners of his eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly. For three days, the Red Fire Monkey had been in a deep sleep, if it weren't for the fact that its breath was still stable, and the wounds it suffered in the grotto were also recovering automatically, Ye Fan would have almost thought that it was seriously injured and died!
However, after careful observation, Ye Fan found that the Red Fire Monkey had actually entered a rather strange cultivation state, and when his consciousness fell into a deep sleep, the Red Fire Monkey's body instinctively absorbed the fire spiritual power in the air, repairing his injuries little by little.
It's no surprise that most creatures, even humans, have this knee-jerk to protect themselves!
What really made Ye Fan feel incredible was that while the Red Fire Monkey was absorbing the fire spirit power that was free between heaven and earth, it was also absorbing the strange power in the Dream Soul Stone at the same time. The strange stone that could resist the right claw of the unicorn and be unscathed began to shrink strangely in the arms of the red fire monkey, and the strange energy contained in it almost formed a thin line, surging towards the sea of consciousness of the red fire monkey located in the center of the eyebrows!
"Is this a blessing in disguise?"
In Ye Fan's perception, although the injuries on the Red Fire Monkey's body have not fully recovered, the fluctuations coming out of the Sea of Knowledge are getting stronger and stronger, and even give Ye Fan a faint sense of threat, but the strange thing is that the energy fluctuations emitted by the Red Fire Monkey at this time are still at the level of the Soul Condensing Realm!
Glancing at the Red Fire Monkey that was still sleeping, and the Dream Soul Stone that had shrunk by one-third, Ye Fan shook his head and sighed, he didn't know how long this monkey would be asleep, maybe he would not be able to wake up until the Dream Soul Stone was fully absorbed by it!
In the battle with the Qilin in the grotto, although Ye Fan did not get any benefits, he also consumed a lot of pure yang qi in vain. But Ye Fan is not without gains, one is to recognize his own strength level, with the desolate beast unicorn as the standard, Ye Fan can almost barely touch the level of the unicorn when all the essence is exploded, but this state cannot last, it can only be used as a momentary outburst, in general, Ye Fan's strength should be one level worse than the unicorn, and he can be regarded as a top-notch character in the sub-strong sequence!
And the second harvest is related to the talent realm that Qilin broke out at the last moment, although before stepping into the secret realm, Ye Fan was shocked by Meng Lao's dream realm like a god and demon, but because the difference in strength between the two was too big, Ye Fan didn't understand much from it. On the contrary, the strength of the Desolate Beast Qilin is about the same as Ye Fan, and the talent realm released has brought Ye Fan more comprehension.
Although these could not directly improve Ye Fan's strength or combat power, they at least pointed out the way for Ye Fan's future development, so that he had an accurate direction for himself to move forward in the martial arts!
After recovering his combat strength, Ye Fan temporarily settled in the dense forest, on the one hand, he continued to boil his pure yang body, and by the way, he turned the knowledge about the domain he learned from the Qilin into his two sword domains. On the other hand, he was waiting for the Red Fire Monkey to wake up, after the battle in the grotto, one person and one monkey could already be regarded as friends, otherwise Ye Fan would not have allowed the Red Fire Monkey to take the only Dream Soul Stone for himself!
After another three days, the injuries on the Red Fire Monkey's body had completely recovered, and the Dream Soul Stone held in his arms had shrunk by one-third again, leaving only a piece less than the size of a fist, but looking at the appearance of the Red Fire Monkey, there was no sign of awakening.
On the tenth day of stepping into the secret realm of the center of the earth, the dream soul stone held in the arms of the Red Fire Monkey had completely disappeared, but the Red Fire Monkey still showed no signs of waking up. On the contrary, after absorbing the energy in the Dream Soul Stone, the Red Fire Monkey's eyebrows began to feed back some purple light, like a spring silkworm spinning silk, enveloping the Red Fire Monkey in its entirety.
After lightly touching the purple light with his hand, Ye Fan unexpectedly found that although the colors were very different, the energy fluctuations contained in it gave Ye Fan the feeling that it was similar to the power of Meng Lao's dream world! This can be regarded as solving a doubt in Ye Fan's heart, and it can be regarded as understanding why this Red Fire Monkey Desolate Beast can directly absorb the energy in the Dream Soul Stone!
......
Time passed in a hurry, and half a month had passed in a blink of an eye, almost a month had passed since Ye Fan stepped into the secret realm of the center of the earth, and Ye Fan had never left this dense forest except for occasionally killing a few desolate beasts that broke into the dense forest without opening their eyes, and had been guarding the side of the red fire monkey!
Glancing at the purple light cocoon that was almost silent, Ye Fan's brows couldn't help but show a trace of hesitation, a month has passed, and although the opening time of the secret realm in the center of the earth is uncertain, it is only between three months and half a year, if Ye Fan still wants to continue to look for the Dream Soul Stone and the Candle Yang Grass, then there is not much time left for him!
"I hope you can wake up soon, otherwise I can only leave you here!" Ye Fan's voice was full of helplessness, although he had already regarded the Red Fire Monkey as his friend, but Ye Fan still had his own things to do, and he couldn't waste all his time here.
Even if it is family affection, there is still a difference between far and near, not to mention a desolate beast that has only had a fighting friendship, Ye Fan can do it to this extent, it can be regarded as benevolent and righteous. Perhaps in the eyes of some people whose interests are paramount, even just this month's time is a shameful waste!
In the evening, he seemed to notice Ye Fan's anxiety, and the light cocoon, which had not moved for a long time, finally took a new change under the afterglow of the setting sun. Originally, it was just a light cocoon formed by the convergence of energy, but at this time, it was like a real thing, emitting a crisp popping sound.
"Why... Cluck... Yikes!"
The top of the light cocoon resembles an eggshell, revealing a clear crack, which then expands, intertwining into a dense cobweb-like crack at the top.
"Bang!"
When the rift reached its limit, a muffled sound came from within the light cocoon, and an arm with thick red hair poked out of it.
"Squeak ......"
A familiar cry came from inside the light cocoon, and Ye Fan, who was waiting beside the light cocoon, couldn't help but show a smile on his face: "This damn monkey is finally willing to come out of it!"
In Ye Fan's laughter, another fluffy monkey claw also poked out of the crack, and then the two monkey claws each grabbed one side of the light cocoon, and with a fierce force with both hands, it was split in two from the middle and tore apart!
"Squeak!"
A red and fierce shot out from the light cocoon, pulling out a long afterimage in mid-air, and after coming to Ye Fan's side, he smashed it with a fist with a wave of his claws.
In the face of this sudden attack, the smile on Ye Fan's face remained unchanged at all, his left hand stretched forward, his five fingers were slightly together, turning into an eagle's claw, and when the red fire monkey's red fist hit, the five fingers snapped together, and he grabbed it in his palm, effortlessly!
At the moment when the Red Fire Monkey jumped out of the light cocoon, Ye Fan had insight into its current realm strength, and after refining the entire Dream Soul Stone, the Red Fire Monkey's realm still did not step into the realm of refining spirits, but was only at the peak of the Soul Condensing Realm. With such strength, Ye Fan only used one hand, and he could be regarded as bullying it!
However, what made Ye Fan feel strange was that at the moment of the fight just now, he actually felt a trace of threat from the Red Fire Monkey's body, although this threat was very faint, far from being compared to the feeling that the Qilin brought him, but it still attracted Ye Fan's attention. Because, the previous Blue Fire Wolf who had advanced to the realm of soul refining because of the Dream Soul Stone had not been able to bring him this feeling, but now it was only the Red Fire Monkey at the peak of Soul Condensation, but it made Ye Fan feel threatened!
It's unusual!
"Squeak ......" The red fire monkey first subconsciously screamed twice, and then bared his teeth and said, "Put... Open...... I, very ...... It hurts!"
Although the Red Fire Monkey's voice was strange and intermittent, Ye Fan's face couldn't help but have a trace of excitement: "You, you actually turned on your spiritual intelligence?"
Although as early as when they first met, Ye Fan knew that the spiritual wisdom of this red fire monkey was far beyond those desolate beasts in the secret realm of the heart of the earth. But at this time, the Red Fire Monkey suddenly spoke, but Ye Fan couldn't help but feel a little surprised!
Or is the current Red Fire Monkey not a desolate beast, but a demon, a monkey demon?
"Can... Say...... Awkward!"
After retracting the monkey paw held by Ye Fan in his palm, the red fire monkey stood in front of Ye Fan, and it was only at this time that Ye Fan found that the red fire monkey that came out of the light cocoon had become much taller, and now it was only less than a head and a half lower than Ye Fan, and it could almost be about one and a half meters tall.
Compared with the change in height, what is more conspicuous is the eyes of the red fire monkey, in the original position of the eyebrows and the sea of consciousness, at this time, there is an extra eye, a purple vertical pupil!
