Chapter 23 Suspicions
Sitting cross-legged, using the method of internal vision, the big acupoints, meridian nodes, and dantian qi sea all swept around the body one by one, and no abnormalities were found, and even the last trace of drunkenness dissipated unconsciously, and the whole person was inexplicably excited.
Although he couldn't find out the specific reason, he could clearly feel some unknown changes in his body, and he wanted to describe it but couldn't say it, but he was faintly aware that his alcohol consumption had increased and it might be related to the abnormality of his body.
"It seems that the authority of the system must be stepped up, I don't know if this change is a blessing or a curse, if you can't find out, I'm afraid it will be difficult to sleep and eat in the future" paced back and forth between the tents, and his expression was slightly gloomy.
............
As soon as it was dawn the next day, Qi Yue, who was still asleep, was woken up by a familiar voice, rubbed his eyes and lifted the curtain and slowly came to the tent.
"Yangqiu, Brother Chao, you're back!"
The only remaining sleepiness suddenly dissipated, and he walked quickly to the three of them, rubbed his eyes to make sure that he was not wrong, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed.
"Hehe, it's not just them, it's me!"
As they spoke, a tiger-headed young man sprang out behind the two, with many hidden weapons made of animal bones hanging from his body, jingling as he walked, bringing laughter and happiness to the silent morning.
"Xiao Chu, are you all right?"
Qi Yue didn't know what to say in excitement, but just approached and gave everyone a warm hug.
"Bang" fist slammed on Qi Yue's shoulder, "What?
I haven't seen him for a few months, and Chao Zimo, who has always been calm and silent, has actually learned to joke, and I think a few people should be doing well these days.
"Of course not, if you don't come back today, I'm going to look for you" Qi Yue shook his head again and again, and said in a slightly hurried tone.
"Hahahaha......"
The three of them suddenly laughed, and Yang Qiu came to Qi Yue and patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "Don't worry, Brother Yue, we are joking, I have heard about your deeds after the meeting just now, I really didn't expect to see you in just two or three months, your martial arts are still refined to such an extent, alas~ It really makes me envious"
Yang Qiu pretended to be lonely, patted Qi Yue twice on the shoulder, turned around and walked to the side, shaking his head and sighing.
"My deeds, you mean?" pointed in the direction of the Ten Thousand Beasts Stone Forest with one hand, looking surprised.
"Yes, yes, Brother Yue, the deeds of you leading everyone to fight against the killing of spirit beasts have been spread all over the world, if you want me to see the first entry in three months, you are the first, Brother Chao, do you say?"
Chu Zhengqi, who had always admired Qi Yue inexplicably, immediately jumped out and talked about his deeds vividly, such as rumors such as single-handedly picking out the beast king, monopolizing hundreds of spirit beasts and slaughtering them all.
Qi Yue looked at him in a daze, scratching his head, if he wasn't the person concerned, he almost believed it.
Chao Zimo saw Qi Yue's embarrassment, pretending to interrupt Chu Zhengqi with no intention of speaking, and said, "Okay, let's go for a night, I guess you are also hungry, I see that the interns over there have prepared wine and food, let's go over and talk while eating."
Chu Zhengqi was interrupted when he was having fun, and his mood was naturally unhappy, he pouted and clasped his arms with his hands and made a gloomy face, but then as soon as he heard that there was food, he immediately came to his senses, his face turned from sadness to joy, and he hurriedly turned his eyes to the dining table not far away.
But he found that a fat man in a purple robe and a fat body had already started eating, so angry he stomped his feet and rushed over, shouting as he ran, "Fat brother, you leave some for me, don't eat alone!"
After being full of wine and food, Yangqiu Chu Zhengqi and the two of them lay on the bench with their stomachs shy and moaned, while Qi Yue and Chao Zimo continued to talk and laugh, without the threat of spirit beasts, everyone's spirits relaxed, enjoying this rare leisure time, and the mood was naturally good.
"So, you hid it a long time ago, and you didn't see any trace of the Beastmaster?" Qi Yue shook the wine glass in his hand lightly, and looked at the nest ink on the opposite side after a drink.
Chao Zimo had already put down his wine glass, took out a pair of Jinpa with an extraordinary texture out of nowhere, and wiped the lost cold iron bright silver spear, his expression was extremely focused, as if he was looking at a lover.
"It's impossible to say that there is no trace of it at all, I remember that after we dispersed, Xiao Chu and I were chased by the Beastmaster all the way, and my injuries were not healed at that time.
So no matter where I fled, I was quickly caught up, and thanks to the help of some brothers who participated in the assessment, the two of us were able to escape, but strangely one night, Xiao Chu was seriously injured at that time so he went to bed early, and I was in unbearable pain because of the recurrence of the old injury, and my consciousness was quite sober.
I remember very well that it was the time of the child, a terrible roar came from not far away, although I don't know exactly what happened, but the sound is familiar to me, it is the roar of the beastmaster, and it is not the ordinary voice of summoning companions, it is very miserable, as if it is a cry before death, and the sound is suddenly cut off from it when it resounded through the sky, and there is no sound again.
Since that night, I have never seen any trace of the Beastmaster, and gradually found that the entire Ten Thousand Beasts Stone Forest seemed to become chaotic overnight, and the spirit beasts seemed to be unrestrained, and the two beasts could be seen everywhere fighting for life and death, and the strangest thing was that their fight did not seem to be for survival or vendetta, but as if they were fighting for something"
"I think of what you said, when I led everyone around to look for the beastmaster, I did find a lot of scenes of the same kind fighting, at that time I thought they were fighting for food, but now I think it's a little unusual" Qi Yue held his chin and nodded.
"Then do you think someone has already killed the Beastmaster in advance, so we can't find it?" After thinking for a moment, Qi Yue came up with a bold idea.
Hearing this, Chao Zimo suddenly stopped his movements, frowned, and shook his head after thinking for a moment, "Unlikely, I had a similar guess before, but then I thought about it and felt unlikely"
"Oh, why is that?" Qi Yue raised his eyebrows, put down the wine glass in his hand, and listened attentively.
"First, the Beastmaster is a fourth-rank mid-grade spirit beast, even if it is much more powerful than a mid-stage master of the transformation realm, although there are many people participating in the assessment, they are basically before and after the True Martial Realm, and no one can fight with it, you must be deeply touched by this, right?"
Qi Yue bowed slightly, "Although I don't want to admit it, but the truth is that this is the case, even now I am afraid that I can only resist the Beast King's hundred moves at most, and the gap between the True Martial Realm and the Transformation Realm cannot be made up by ordinary martial arts."
"Don't be discouraged, if you can resist the beast king's hundred moves, it means that you are now qualified to fight with the masters of the transformation realm, and you have surpassed the vast majority of us by virtue of this" Chao Zimo's tone was sincere, it was hard to believe that a person with a strong heart like him would actually admit the strength of others.
Although he knew that the other party was comforting himself, Qi Yue's mood was still much better, and he raised his wine glass to signal him to continue, while he drank it all.
"This second and most important point, I just said, when the beast king roared at night, almost all demon beasts will have a great increase in combat power during this time period, not to mention that as the king of beasts, how much it has grown, none of us knows, and no one dares to try.
But the Beastmaster disappeared that night, so I can't figure out why."
Indeed, according to Chao Zimo, there are many doubts about the disappearance of the Beastmaster, which is really unpredictable.
The two of them were silent for a long time, until Qi Yue and he suddenly looked up at each other after a stick of incense, and blurted out in unison
"Isn't it ......!" "I guess ......!"
"Hehe~" The two looked at each other and smiled, and Chao Zimo stretched out one hand and made a gesture of please.
"I guess there will be a hidden realm master among me" Qi Yue was also polite, and took the lead in expressing his thoughts.
"Our thoughts coincide, and I am afraid that there is only this one possibility, and you may not know that we children of the family have been secretly told before coming to apprentice that this competition is extraordinary, and there may be masters.
At that time, I thought very highly of myself and didn't care, but during this time, I saw many young talents who were not weaker than me or even better than me, and I realized that there are people outside the world, and now I think that even if there are masters of the transformation realm, it is not impossible."
Qi Yue heard a little loneliness and helplessness from Chao Zimo's tone, maybe it was because the experience of this half year had hit him too hard, but Qi Yue believed that with the strength of his heart, he would not be decadent because of this, so he did not say anything to persuade him and let it develop.
"Brother Chao, if there really is a Transformation Realm master, what are you going to do?"
Chao Zimo didn't notice the change in Qi Yue's tone, he just thought he was asking casually.
So he casually asked, "What? Do you want to be in the top three?"
"Don't you want to?" Qi Yue's tone suddenly became serious, and his eyes looked straight at Chao Zimo, as if he wanted to see him through.
Placing the bright silver spear that had been wiped clean in his hand on the table, he did not retreat in the face of Qi Yue's direct gaze, and said categorically, "Of course I want to!" The tone was extremely affirmative, and the determination of his gaze was even greater than the moment when he shot it.
Qi Yue was stunned by Chao Zimo's sudden answer, and after a while, the corners of his mouth turned slightly, and he put his head in front of the other party's eyes and asked, "Then do you think that if you meet a master of the transformation realm, can you win?"
Faced with the problem that Qi Yue faced directly, he could see that Chao Zimo was stunned, but it was only for a moment, and after a while, he said fiercely, "I will lose, but before I fall, I will not give up!"
"Good!"
Qi Yue sat back in his place suddenly, said this thoughtlessly, raised his wine glass and motioned to Chao Zimo, "Come!
Without waiting for the other party to react, he drank it all again, and the liquor prepared for him by the senior brothers seemed to be no different from white water in his eyes, and his face was not red or panting after a glass, not at all like a person who had already drunk two jars of wine.
"Do you have something to say to me?" Although Chao Zimo usually doesn't look very conspicuous, he is actually a smart person, and he can see at a glance that Qi Yue seems to have something, so he doesn't spare the circle and asks directly.
