The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

“Little brother, the old homeland of our Kuru tribe is in this cave.” Kuruyi looked at the cave entrance, as if afraid of disturbing something, and lowered his voice. “Five years ago, a dragon beast that came from nowhere occupied this place. The realm of that dragon beast was in the late consciousness realm, but its scales were hard, and its claws and teeth were very sharp. Even the cultivator who had reached the great perfection of the consciousness realm that we invited at that time could not drive it away…”

"Dragon beast?"

"Yes! You must be careful, little brother. If something is impossible, don't force it."

Zeng Wenyu nodded. He asked Mu Zhi beside him to wait outside for a while, and he went into the cave to lure the dragon beast out. Mu Zhi originally wanted to refuse, but finally nodded in agreement.

Taking a torch from Kuruyi, Zeng Wenyu walked into the cave holding the torch.

It was very dark inside the cave, and the torches could only illuminate a limited area. At the same time, Zeng Wenyu smelled a pungent fishy odor that irritated his nasal cavity. Even Xiaoxue and Xiaoli, who had been sleeping, were awakened by the pungent smell.

When the two little ones poked their heads out, Zeng Wenyu heard heavy breathing coming from deep in the cave.

"It's a strange smell," Xiaoxue said, "It has the smell of humans and monsters, and they are mixed together."

Xiaoli stuck his head out and approached Zeng Wenyu's cheek: "So... where did you run off to again?"

"There's no place. Someone asked me to drive away the dragon beast here." Zeng Wenyu rubbed Xiaoli's head with his cheek. "Why did you two wake up suddenly? You usually sleep so well, but you don't want to sleep today?"

"This place smells so bad, it means Xiao Meng is still evolving and can sleep peacefully, but you said a dragon beast... this smell doesn't sound like the smell of a dragon beast," Xiao Xue also swam up Zeng Wenyu's arm to his shoulder, "This smell is more like some mutated beast, or a mutated human."

Zeng Wenyu was surprised by Xiaoxue's statement. What was a mutated beast or a mutated human? According to Kuruyi, the one occupying this place was a dragon beast. He had no need to lie, nor did he have to provide him with false information.

Zeng Wenyu did not stop, he kept walking into the cave. As he went deeper, the heavy breathing became clearer.

This cave has obvious signs of artificial excavation, and there is only one road in and out, which extends slowly downward in a spiral shape. Some places have collapsed because no one has maintained them for many years, and there are signs of fighting, but the collapsed soil has obviously been squeezed by something and has been compacted again on both sides.

As Zeng Wenyu continued to go deeper, the fishy smell became stronger and stronger, and his heavy breathing was almost like thunder. At the same time, the space on both sides also expanded a lot. Zeng Wenyu knew that he was about to reach the end of the passage.

After walking a few more steps forward, braziers appeared on both sides. Zeng Wenyu checked the braziers. Although this place had been occupied by the "dragon beast" for five years, there was still a lot of burning materials in the braziers.

He used the torch in his hand to light the brazier. As the fuel in the brazier began to burn, a line of fire spread downwards. The braziers below ignited one after another as the line of fire spread, and finally it circled below and ignited the brazier on Zeng Wenyu's right hand side.

The light of the flame illuminated the area below, and Zeng Wenyu could see the situation below. A huge dragon beast was lying there sleeping, and the heavy breathing sound was coming from the huge dragon beast.

The dragon beast's body was covered with black scales, and a pair of small curved horns emerged from its head. Its huge tail surrounded its body, and the end of the tail was supported by its head. At the same time, Zeng Wenyu could see that there seemed to be something surrounded between its curled up body and tail.

The burning flames made it open its eyes. After shaking its head a few times, the dragon beast finally spotted Zeng Wenyu standing at the entrance. It raised its body and lowered its head to make an attacking gesture: "Who are you? How dare you trespass into my territory without permission?"

"Your territory? Shouldn't this be the old territory of the Kuru tribe?"

"So they are helpers hired by the human invaders. I drove away one of their helpers a few years ago, and now there is another one. Do they think I am easy to bully because I didn't kill him?!"

"No... Didn't you suddenly occupy this place? Isn't this the old land of the Kuru tribe?"

"Haha, shameless human, you have invaded my territory and even dared to call it your own land!"

The dragon beast had made sufficient preparations. Zeng Wenyu had seen it show its sharp teeth and claws. It was obvious that if Zeng Wenyu did not leave, it would attack him.

"Something's wrong. It's not a dragon beast... It seems to have been cursed and turned into what it is now," Xiaoxue whispered in Zeng Wenyu's ear, "A dragon beast is also a member of the dragon clan, but I have never seen this kind of dragon beast, not even in the memories passed down. Instead, I seem to smell a scent of curse on it."

Zeng Wenyu was stunned by Xiaoxue's words. He really thought that what he saw was a dragon beast. Although it looked like the big lizard in the western fantasy world he had seen before, didn't the people there also call such lizards dragons? The dragon lizards he had seen in the Cangling Mountains before also looked like this, but they were descendants of dragons with a little bit of dragon blood.

"You are not a dragon beast! What are you? Why do you smell like a monster and also like a human? Most importantly, you smell like a very strong curse!" Xiaoxue suddenly raised her voice and asked loudly before it attacked.

"Roar!"

What answered Xiaoxue was its roar, as if Xiaoxue's question touched some kind of taboo. Its eyes, which seemed to be rational just now, suddenly turned red, and it roared and rushed towards Zeng Wenyu.

He quickly put Xiaoxue and Xiaoli into his hood, and the ochre light covered Zeng Wenyu's body. The innate earth wrapped his entire body. Before its sharp claws touched him, Zeng Wenyu's body suddenly disappeared. Then it felt a heavy blow to its abdomen, and its whole body bent like a shrimp. The pain made it open its mouth, and fishy saliva flowed from its mouth.

"Roar!"

The blow caused it pain, but it also aroused its ferocity. With a loud roar, the scales on its body quickly tightened and covered its entire body. At the same time, after the pain, a light blue light was biting from its slightly opened mouth. Its two front paws were also covered by blue light. At the same time, the temperature around it began to drop rapidly.
