A huge mandrill head rolled to the ground. Then the second, the third... Zhang Yuan did not chase the fleeing mandrill, but first killed the seriously injured ones one by one. No matter how thick the fur of these mandrills was or how hard their bones were, they could not withstand the blow of the Red Blood Knife. Their bodies emitted black smoke, which rotted and dissipated in an instant, turning into pus and blood that seeped into the soil. Roar~ Suddenly, a mandrill with a fine iron arrow stuck in its head staggered up from the ground. There was a low roar in its throat. But the mandrill's eyes were scattered, and its consciousness had collapsed, looking more like a zombie. Zhang Yuan's eyes condensed, and he immediately rushed forward and swung his knife to cut off its head.
This mandrill was the first one Zhang Yuan shot and killed. But at that time, he did not get the hint of the source, so he knew that things were not simple. Sure enough, this guy can "come back from the dead", worthy of the name of the mountain monster, and is not comparable to ordinary beasts. And ordinary weapons obviously cannot completely kill the mandrill. Perhaps the use of the Blood Burning Technique will be effective. But burning blood and qi is undoubtedly a big test for Zhang Yuan's blood value, which is constantly being consumed. Therefore, weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Yuan decisively gave up the idea of obtaining the source. Directly use the Red Blood Knife to solve the enemy. In fact, there is a price to use this magic weapon. The price is Zhang Yuan's blood! However, this time he has fought with the Red Blood Knife until now, and not a drop of blood has been sucked away by this magic weapon. Zhang Yuan speculated that it was either because the Red Blood Knife sucked dry a fourth-level strongman. Or it was the result of his long-term cultivation of this magic weapon. But no matter which possibility it is, Zhang Yuan believes that such "benefits" are limited, just like his own blood value, once consumed, it needs to be replenished. Otherwise, if it is used up, it still has to be drawn from him! Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, Zhang Yuan took a long breath, and then sacrificed the bear carcass that was previously abandoned by the mandrills. The bear carcass was recovered. But there were some more torn wounds on the surface. It was undoubtedly the work of the mandrills.
Zhang Yuan also lost interest in taking it home. He simply sacrificed it and got rid of it. [Source +] Ignoring the information flashing in his vision, Zhang Yuan looked at the forest in front of him. That was the direction where the mandrills fled! In fact, those fleeing mandrills had never left his sight. The next moment, Zhang Yuan rushed forward like an arrow from a bow. In the blink of an eye, he rushed into the dense woods. More than two miles away from him, five mandrills were fleeing. Including the white-faced mandrill. Their speed was not very fast, but they were very familiar with the surrounding environment. Sometimes they ran on their hands and feet, sometimes they grabbed vines and jumped onto the treetops, flexibly avoiding obstacles that blocked their way. However, these mountain freaks did not notice that a black-feathered red-eyed crow was quietly chasing them in the air just a hundred steps away, monitoring their every move! And Zhang Yuan, who was farther away, locked these fleeing guys firmly through the perspective of the red-eyed crow. In this way, the five mandrills passed through the dense forest, climbed over a ridge, and finally climbed a steep mountain and entered a hidden cave! Zhang Yuan's pursuit stopped in front of the ridge. He did not catch up. The cave that the mandrills had just entered was obviously their nest. Zhang Yuan planned to kill them all at once. But he did not intend to do it immediately. Because Zhang Yuan's blood value had dropped seriously after the previous fierce battles. At present, it is less than one-third. Qi and blood value is the foundation of Zhang Yuan's strength, just like the blue bar of a magician. Once it is exhausted, not only can he not use the extraordinary ability of the host, but even his own strength will fall to the bottom. In order to ensure safety, he needs to restore his Qi and blood value to at least half! As the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Zhang Yuan found a safe place and sat down to rest. He took off the iron bow he had taken back earlier and put it back into the quiver together with the fine iron arrow. Then he hid in the nearby grass. Then, Zhang Yuan took out half a wild ginseng, cut it with a dagger, and put it into his mouth to chew slowly. The bitter ginseng liquid flowed down his throat into his stomach, and the medicinal power immediately began to dissipate.
His Qi and blood value also recovered little by little. Since understanding the role of Qi and blood value, Zhang Yuan has been looking for a way to quickly restore Qi and blood. The best known method at present is to take Qi and Blood Pills! Zhang Yuan had experienced the effects of this precious elixir more than once, and he liked it very much. However, Qi and Blood Pills were too rare. He no longer had a way to get this kind of elixir. In addition to Qi and Blood Pills, Zhang Yuan had also tried taking various medicinal herbs. Medicinal herbs that replenish blood and nourish qi. Ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, Angelica sinensis, Polygonum multiflorum, Millettia reticulata... It turned out that wild ginseng was the most effective. Especially ginseng from the previous year. Although wild ginseng is not as effective as Qi and Blood Pills in restoring qi and blood, it is easy to obtain and lasts for a long time, making it a low-end substitute. So Zhang Yuan usually carries one or half a ginseng with him. He chewed a piece every once in a while, and also ate some dry food he brought with him. As for the nest of the mandrill, the red-eyed crow was watching over it. Towards dusk, Zhang Yuan's blood value had recovered more than three-quarters. He stood up suddenly and flew towards the mountain. This time, Zhang Yuan left all the weight, including the iron-framed bow. Go to the nest of the mandrill with light luggage! The red-eyed crow flew over his head and sneaked into the cave that was quite hidden. After a moment, it flew out again. But this short time of less than ten breaths was enough for Zhang Yuan to see the situation inside the cave clearly. Just as he rushed into the cave, he ran into a yellow-faced mandrill. This mandrill was probably out to keep watch. Perhaps the sudden appearance of the red-eyed crow aroused their vigilance, and it happened that they came face to face with Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan, who had six times the agility, accelerated and crashed into the mandrill in an instant. At the moment of the collision, the red blood knife in his left hand fiercely pierced the latter's neck. The extremely sharp weapon pierced the mandrill's throat in an instant! The fierce big guy trembled suddenly, and his arms, which had just been opened, fell down. Its limbs twitched involuntarily, and its thick body withered and shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It seemed that the strength and essence of the whole body were completely devoured by the red blood knife! In just three or four breaths, the yellow-faced mandrill had turned into ashes. It was very similar to the scene of Zhang Yuan's sacrifice. Roar~ An angry roar came from the depths of the cave. The mandrill inside obviously discovered the arrival of the evil star! —— I went out for something today and came back late. I owe one more update and will make up for it later. Sorry.
