Devour

Chapter 33: Driving the tiger away from the mountain

Based on the clues provided by the guild, Cheng Bai found a large cave where hunters often went in and out.

The winding and complex passage is no problem for Cheng Bai and Xiao Bai, who have excellent memory and sense of direction. The occasional Yinming Spider Woman is much stronger than the monsters outside.

They are as big as a tabletop, with the upper body of a charming girl and the lower body of a fat spider. They are quite similar to the Yinming Spider Queen, but are much smaller in size and obviously inferior in strength.

Cheng Bai carefully avoided the spider webs and easily gained the upper hand in the fight. He quickly killed several of them to clear the way and obtained crystal cores and ingredients. The meat was as delicious as before.

Passing through the cave on the mountain wall, you will arrive at the Joyful Valley, where the primitive rain forest is full of treasures. There are many Zhuyu grasses growing vigorously, which can be refined into Bigu Pills. Eating one pill can keep you from being hungry for a day.

There are dragon blood trees growing in the valley. Cutting the bark will produce a thick blood-colored resin. Eating it can delay aging and keep you young forever. It can also be refined into Evergreen Pills. But what is more valuable is that the so-called "dragon blood" used to refine dragon steel comes from this.

Cheng Bai tasted them one by one and found the taste acceptable, so he collected some and kept them.

There are also forget-me-nots in the valley that can relieve people's worries and sorrows. Cheng Bai had eaten a lot of them before, so he hurried to replenish the amount.

These are the treasures on the outskirts of the Valley of Joy. Most high-level hunters who enter the valley tend to only go here.

The most precious medicinal root deep in the Joyful Valley is the peach. Eating the fruit can increase strength, and it is also the main ingredient in refining the Heaven-Burn Divine Strength Pill.

This kind of elixir is very popular among warriors on the mainland. It can increase power, restore physical strength, and is of great benefit to cultivation if used long term. It has excellent performance among the third-grade elixirs of the same grade, and everyone would like to have it if they have the conditions. Unfortunately, it is not easy to obtain, so the price of the medicinal material has naturally risen.

Cheng Bai was overjoyed when he found it, but unfortunately this spiritual tree already had an owner, a fat monster with three eyes and six legs guarding the peach tree.

When its fat body curls up into a ball, it looks like a big meatball, and when it stretches out, it looks like a six-legged fat insect, about 27 meters long. It usually stays under the peach tree and is reluctant to leave even in windy or rainy weather.

When hungry, it would raise its tentacles, stretch them out to be long and thin, and pick ripe peaches from more than ten meters in the air and throw them into its big mouth. If there were any living creatures to provoke it, it would not mind swallowing them up in one gulp, even the Dark Spider Girl. Other monsters could not resist the three secret techniques of burning gaze, poisonous blood gaze, and paralysis gaze caused by the three eyes.

It is the Evil Eye Beast King. Together with the Yinming Queen, they are the two overlords of the Happy Valley. They respectively lead two major monster tribes, the Evil Eye Beasts and the Yinming Spiders, and they compete with each other in the Happy Valley.

Cheng Bai asked Xiaobai to stay away and he stayed stealthily close to observe. Even many monsters stronger than him were killed by his assassinations, but he was not afraid at all.

The Evil Eye Beast King turned his head lazily, and his three eyes swept towards Cheng Bai's location.

At that moment, Cheng Bai suddenly felt paralyzed all over and couldn't move. He was shocked and thought, "It can see me."

The reason why the Evil Eye Beast King is called "Evil Eye" is because its power mainly comes from this. Seeing through the invisible is no problem. When it saw Cheng Bai approaching, it used the Paralyzing Gaze.

Cheng Bai gradually revealed his true form after being hit by the paralyzing gaze. He had eaten a lot of stone marrow and had some resistance. He hurriedly used the Six Paths of Supremacy to activate his blood circulation and strengthen his body, trying his best to get rid of the paralyzing effect.

But the Evil Eye Beast King had already stretched out a tentacle to grab Cheng Bai, stretching from thick to thin, and the distance was tens of meters, several meters, several feet... getting closer and closer.

Cheng Bai was anxious. The monster must not be underestimated, especially the king among them. He did not take the Stone Marrow Pill for protection in advance. This time he was careless and made a mistake that would lead to eternal regret.

At the critical moment, Xiaobai jumped out, ran forward and howled loudly, attracting the attention of the Evil Eye Beast King, who also used a paralyzing gaze on it.

Fortunately, the giant wolf race has outstanding resistance to paralysis, petrification and other effects, and was not affected by it. Instead, it jumped forward to bite the Evil Eye Beast King and was about to touch Cheng Bai's tentacle.

The Evil Eye Beast King's secret technique failed and he was extremely shocked. When his tentacles were attacked, he simply swept past and threw Xiaobai away.

The Six Paths of Supreme Power was extremely powerful, breaking through the paralysis effect in a short period of time. Cheng Bai was finally able to move, and with the gap knife in his hand, he used the Black Spirit with all his strength, and the knife energy was crisscrossed, slashing at the tentacles. The monster's skin and flesh were immediately torn apart, and it was seriously injured, but no blood was splashed.

"Come on."

Cheng Bai hit the tentacle with his sword, but felt its elasticity was amazing and it was all tough fat layer. More than half of the sword energy was removed and he failed to cut off the tentacle. He quickly turned around and ran away.

Just in time to avoid the burning gaze of the Evil Eye Beast King, the ground where he was standing burst into flames.

After being thrown away, Xiaobai landed, turned over and jumped up without suffering any serious injuries. He followed Chengbai and turned around to escape.

Cheng Bai didn't dare to underestimate the opponent anymore. He threw a thunder and fire bomb behind him, which collided with the poisonous blood gaze light swept by the Evil Eye Beast King. Red and green flames burst out with thunder, and the ground nearby was charred.

The man and the wolf quickly moved away.

The Evil Eye Beast King was unwilling to stray too far from the peach tree and did not pursue.

Cheng Bai and Xiao Bai went around the woods for a long way before they stopped. It had been a while since they encountered a strong opponent, so it was inevitable that they would feel thrilling. Fortunately, they escaped unharmed.

How can we deal with the Evil Eye Beast King? The Burning Gaze has the Fire Repellent Pill, the Poison Blood Gaze has the Blue Jade Pill, and the Paralysis Gaze has the Stone Marrow Pill. They can be cracked, but it costs too much money.

Cheng Bai thought of several ideas, but none of them were ideal. Even if the elixir could resist the long-range secret technique, head-on combat would be extremely dangerous.

A hunter cannot hunt prey he is not sure of.

In the center of the Joy Valley stands a strange spindle-shaped object, hundreds of meters high, round and full, smooth and shiny, with alternating yellow and black colors. It has no doors or windows, and its purpose is unknown.

As Cheng Bai walked by, he reached out and knocked on it. It was made of neither metal nor wood, and was incredibly solid.

Looking at the part that has sunk into the ground, it is overgrown with weeds and it is difficult to tell the boundary. I don't know how many years it has existed.

Cheng Bai pondered and said, "Judging from the size, if there is something underneath, it must be nearly a hundred meters deep, which doesn't look like a building."

On the other side of the Joyful Valley, there is a hidden world between the mountain walls. The caves in the rocks are as intricate as a palace, hiding the Queen of the Dark Spider.

She does not have the upper body of a girl, but has a round body that is closer to a spider. What makes her different is that there is another beautiful head growing on the top of her larger head. Her body is as big as that of the Evil Eye Beast King, but much lighter.

The Queen of Yinming kept a close eye on the number of spiders in the Valley of Joy. She stared at her eggs, and when she noticed that four Yinming spider girls were missing, she immediately hatched four more.

The color of a newly born Yinming Spider Girl is different from the dark red of the queen. When she comes out of the egg, she is translucent white and slowly turns pink to flesh-pink. The older she gets, the darker the color. A few of them will grow into more powerful Yinming Spider Queens.

There is a treasure in the Yinming Queen's lair, which is the silk cocoon that the Queen occasionally makes. The Hunter's Guild calls it Yinming spider silk. These excess nesting materials will be temporarily stored aside by the Queen Mother in case of emergency.

The Xuanming treasure robe made from the Yinming spider silk is invulnerable to swords and guns, unharmed by water and fire, immune to all poisons, and can even resist some attacks from internal energy. It is a rare treasure.

Cheng Bai carefully and stealthily wandered around the Queen Mother Yinming in the distance. After trying back and forth, he was sure that she could not see through his invisibility. Then he gradually approached and boldly took away some of the silk cocoons.

After stealing cocoons many times, the Queen Mother of Yin and Ming noticed something was wrong and stopped storing the silk cocoons.

Cheng Bai stopped stealing the cocoon, but an idea to betray his father came to his mind.

After a while, a huge spider egg rolled like a ball and was pushed in front of the Evil Eye Beast King. It hit it lightly and bounced away a little.

The Evil Eye Beast King lazily looked down at the spider eggs, and swallowed them in one gulp without refusing the snack that was delivered to his door.

Then, another spider egg rolled over, not far away from it.

The Evil Eye Beast King stretched out his tentacles to grab the eggs from afar and put them into his mouth. Then he saw the spider eggs in the distance slowly stop beyond the range of his tentacles.

It glared with its three eyes, took a step closer, scooped up the egg with its tentacles and swallowed it again, and then the spider eggs farther away slowly stopped again.

The desire for food took over, and the Evil Eye Beast King strode forward recklessly, following the spider eggs that kept rolling in, eating until his mouth was full of oil. After swallowing more than ten spider eggs in succession, he met the Queen of the Underworld who rushed over in a hurry.

She saw the smug look on the Evil Eye Beast King's face as he put the spider eggs into his mouth. The beautiful woman on top of her head raised her eyebrows, became furious, and roared wildly. Immediately, many Yin Ming Spider Women came rushing over, and there were even two Yin Ming Spider Queens.

Monster wars are inevitable. For safety reasons, it is better not to go and watch the fun.

Cheng Bai, who had lured the monster away, seized the opportunity, jumped onto the tree as quickly as possible, and put all the ripe peaches into his treasure bag.

By the time the Evil Eye Beast King, covered in wounds, limped back to the peach tree, only a few unripe, shriveled peaches were left on the treetop.

The monster that was lured away from the mountain was in a very miserable state. Only two of its six legs were left, and only the burning eye was left of its three eyes. The monster had a strong vitality, and it was unknown how long it would take for it to grow back.

The Yin Ming Queen was not feeling much better either. One of her legs was bitten off and she had burns all over her body. Several Yin Ming Spider Women were killed as well. She returned to her nest angrily to recuperate.

Compared with the two overlords, the Evil Eye Beast King who has been eating peaches for a long time is slightly stronger, but the Yinming Queen has many subordinates, and they are usually wary of each other and will not fight to the death unless it is necessary. Today's fierce battle is a special exception.

The Evil Eye Beast King trembled all over, and he shrank his body into a big round ball, buried his face in the middle, and endured the pain to rest.

Just when everything was quiet all around, a dazzling knife light poured down from the peach tree like a waterfall, one knife after another, and the Pig's Head, the Black Pot, the Laxative Spirit, and the Black Spirit were all used on the Evil Eye Beast King, just like chopping fat goose legs.

The Evil Eye Beast King let out a deafening howl and stretched out its broken tentacles to frantically attack the invaders, but its power was not as strong as before, and its severely injured and reduced combat power was unable to break the solid spiritual shield.

Cheng Bai found that he had made the best choice again.

He activated the Six Paths of Supremacy to maintain the continuous flash of sword light, and his spiritual consciousness supported the spiritual shield to resist heavy blows. His attack and defense were perfect.

The Evil Eye Beast King was panicked, and when it raised its head and glared at Cheng Bai with its burning eyes, the Gap Blade, carrying the most powerful laxative spirit at present, pierced its eyeball.

The completely blinded Evil Eye Beast King finally fell under the hunter's sword.

Cheng Bai had achieved another record of killing an enemy at a higher level. He cut open its body, took out a nearly perfect spherical crystal core, and also took out high-quality meat essence with amazing elasticity. The reward was great.

By the way, he also took away the crystal core of the Yinming Spider Woman who died in the battle nearby.

When night fell, Cheng Bai took Xiao Bai away from Panqiu Mountains and came to Hongmao Rain Forest to spend the night.

Tonight's dinner is particularly sumptuous. The thinly sliced ​​meat of the Evil Eye Beast King is roasted until golden and crispy, and the fruit platter made of cut cherries is embellished with color, aroma and taste. Then "dragon blood" is poured on it as a sauce, and forget-me-not is sprinkled on it as chopped green onions. The whole dish exudes a wonderful colorful light, as if it has supreme power.

The fragrance was so rich that Cheng Bai and Xiao Bai were salivating and their appetites were whetted.

Cheng Bai picked up the slices of meat and put them into his own and Xiaobai's mouths respectively. The taste was smooth and chewy, and the flavor was indescribable. It made people linger on the aftertaste, as if they had ascended to heaven.

After swallowing it, all fatigue in the body will disappear, qi and blood will flow smoothly, and your face will be radiant, as if you have been reborn.

“What a delicious delicacy!”

Cheng Bai was so happy that he burst into tears, and Xiao Bai rolled around on the grass happily.

Just as the man and the wolf were preparing to completely finish the delicacy, a slender figure suddenly appeared in the distance and quickly came in front of them.

Cheng Bai recognized the familiar face at a glance.

She still wore the gray-green mask and the gray-green tights. She had a graceful, mysterious and beautiful figure. She was much stronger than before, even stronger than Cheng Bai, because the power she gained from the transmission of skills was far greater than that of Cheng Bai.

Yun Juan was surprised to see that it was Cheng Bai, "It's you again. I thought there was some evil smell. I can't stop drooling after smelling it."

"Since you're all here, let's eat together. There's plenty of meat and wine."

Cheng Bai asked her to sit down, took out the cutlery and plates and handed them to her, and ate in a graceful and elegant manner in front of the beauty.

Yun Juan lifted up her mask and tasted the meat slowly. With a look of shock in her eyes, she couldn't help but ask, "What kind of meat is this? I've never seen it before."

Cheng Bai said with a smile: "The meat of the immortal beast can only be found here, there is no other place like here."

Yun Juan sneered, "You're just pretending, but it's really delicious."

Cheng Bai suggested: "Why are you wearing a mask while eating? Take it off."

Yun Juan hesitated for a moment, then took off the mask, revealing her bright and beautiful face like a flower. Her black hair fluttered in the night breeze, adding to her charm.

Cheng Bai's eyes widened, but he did not forget to stuff the food into his mouth and chew it slowly, praising: "You are so beautiful."

Yun Juan's face flushed with shyness, and she spat, "You're so talkative."

Cheng Bai stopped chewing and said sincerely: "I am telling the truth. You are the most beautiful goddess I have ever seen." But Ningxiang's shadow flashed before his eyes, so he didn't know how to continue.

Yunjuan giggled and didn't argue with him. She swallowed the delicious food in her mouth and took a sip of the wine in the Bacchus gourd that Chengbai handed to her.

Cheng Bai had a criminal thought in his mind: "I gave her too little to drink. What will happen if she gets drunk?"

His heart was pounding.

But when he saw Yun Juan asking for good wine, he still advised: "This wine is easy to get drunk, don't drink too much."

The two men and the wolf were very happy and ate up all the delicious food in no time.

Yun Juan only felt comfortable all over, and her strength continued to increase. She was secretly surprised: "My power has increased greatly. Could it be that these foods can strengthen my cultivation?"

The people of Qiongqi Continent mostly use the rare monster resources to refine elixirs, and very few people make them into delicacies and eat them directly. Yun Juan had never seen it before, and thought it was a little unbelievable, but she didn't think about it carefully.

Cheng Bai asked, "What are you doing here?"
