Chapter 71: Tempering with Beast Blood
As Lin and the young leopard worked together seamlessly, the four-star elephant beast was constantly locked down, and then one axe after another chopped it down. One attacked, one defended, one was still, and one moved. The unbeatable combination of the two masters unleashed their divine might, and in less than half an hour, the invincible elephant beast finally crashed to the ground.
At its last gasp, two lines of crystal tears fell from the corners of his eyes: Nima, I'm also dying too miserably!
Watching the small mountain-like giant elephant fall, a leopard and a person's bitter persistence of will and overdrawn strength finally lost their support. "Bang" They sat on the ground with a thud, leaning back to back, panting heavily.
Lin Heng looked at Xiao Bao: "Brother Bao, it was a pleasure working with you."
The young leopard and he fought side by side in life-and-death battles, and he also developed a liking for it, nodding his head repeatedly.
After a moment, the young leopard, dragging its seriously injured body, walked hard towards the giant corpse of the elephant beast and bit the weak blood vessels under the elephant's neck.
"Zi!" A powerful blood arrow shot out.
The young leopard plugged the wound with its body, twisted and turned to make the injured area full of elephant blood, and then repeatedly rubbed the seriously injured place back and forth on the elephant corpse.
A surprising phenomenon occurred in Lian's presence. In less than two minutes, the young leopard, who was originally severely injured and had difficulty walking, suddenly recovered and ran swiftly as if nothing had happened.
"Huh? The blood of a four-star beast can heal wounds?" Lin Heng was suddenly surprised, but then he also realized that the elephant beast was a four-star demon beast, and its entire body was a treasure, let alone the blood that concentrated all the nutrients?
The young leopard jumped and ran back, rubbed its head against the part of Lin Heng that was blown away by the elephant beast, and then let out two loud roars in the direction of the elephant beast.
"Are you letting me go heal too?"
The young leopard nodded and howled again in the direction of the elephant's corpse.
Damn! This thing seems to be able to understand human speech! Lin's forehead was lined with a row of black lines.
The young leopard let him go, thinking that it wouldn't harm this comrade. Previously, he was in a life-and-death battle and hadn't felt anything yet. Now standing up, the pain made him almost unable to stand firm. The Elephant Beast's power dominated the beast tribe, although Lin Heng wasn't hit directly, but even a casual touch would be unbearable.
The current pain intensity, the bones inside should have been completely shattered.
The elephant's body is huge, and its blood will naturally be abundant.
Lin Heng aligned the injured area with the splashing liquid, and before he could even use his hand to apply it, he felt a surge of vitality seep in. It was as if water quickly soaked into cotton, this powerful force rapidly penetrated into his bones and muscles. Lin Heng clearly felt that those broken, dead bone cells instantly came back to life, full of vitality.
After just a few breaths, he felt that his injuries had improved by more than half.
This blood is truly precious!
He soon felt that the injuries caused by the beast had fully recovered. Moreover, wherever the elephant blood seeped in, muscles, bones, and fur were obviously nourished and rapidly strengthened. This elephant blood, apart from healing wounds, also had the effect of strengthening the body and tempering it.
Lin Heng was overjoyed, his realm continuously advancing, but his weakness was that his physical strength couldn't keep up with the advancement of his realm. This caused him to be restricted and constrained when exerting his inner force. Now that he had encountered a rare opportunity, he naturally wouldn't let it slip away.
Lin Heng turned the beast's head to an angle, directing the spouting blood into a large pit that had just been dug by the beast. This blood was so precious that it couldn't be wasted; a fourth-grade demon beast, perhaps this was the only one I would kill in my lifetime, and I needed to make full use of it.
The young leopard stared at him with wide eyes, unable to understand what he was doing.
The pit was over a meter deep, like blood gushing into a depth of over a meter, and finally stopped when the blood flow stopped.
Lin Heng took off his clothes and jumped into the blood pool without saying a word. In Qi Li Gou, he had experienced 22 days of "medicinal washing" in the medicinal bath, which meant that he would never be able to undergo another "medicinal washing" for the rest of his life. This gave him an idea. If I couldn't do a "medicinal washing", then I'll do a "blood washing" instead! And it's with the blood of a fourth-grade demon beast, something that others can hardly even see!
Lin Heng plunged into the blood pool, and the surging and vibrant blood energy instantly penetrated his skin, every inch of skin, muscle, and cell, as if a greedy child encountering his favorite food, absorbing it voraciously. Under Lin Heng's inner vision, he could clearly see that every corner of his body was transforming, with cells condensing and growing stronger, and then new cells sprouting out in countless numbers, again condensing and growing stronger. Each cell continuously increased its power layer by layer, from a small point generating vigorous microcosms.
Too powerful! This beast blood is truly a treasure! At this rate of increase, within at least an hour, one's physical strength can be increased by fivefold.
What is the concept of a five-fold increase? That is to say, he can smash a thick bluestone slab with ease without using any internal force, just his own strength! Can make an ordinary person use a sharp blade to slash at himself and not be injured at all!
Lin Heng was at a loss for words to describe the excitement he felt at this moment, it was truly a treasure! Not only did it make up for the shortcomings of insufficient physical strength, but also brought his power to a new realm.
The elephant beast is the king of power, and Buddhism has the saying of "Dragon Elephant Prajna". Dragon blood and elephant blood are the most powerful treasures that can enhance physical strength. It is said that some warriors who practice the Dragon Elephant Prajna skill, after long-term immersion in dragon blood and elephant blood, can directly withstand the attack of internal force with their physical body without harm.
The second is Lin Heng after quenching, finally able to fully and unscrupulously exert his strength, no longer constrained by his physical body.
The third is the most important point, the strengthening of the physical body, combined with the accumulation of power, the same move can greatly increase the damage. If the time spent tempering really reaches Lin Huan's expectation of one hour, then at this time, if Lin Huan performs the "Thirteen Fists" of the "Layered Heavy Style", even a second-rate martial artist who has reached 80% defensive power may not be able to withstand his attack and get injured!
What a terrifying progress! A second-rate early stage, breaking through the 80% defense of the late second-rate and injuring the opponent! Who would believe it if I told them? But after Lin Huan was tempered by the Xiang Beast's blood, his physical strength increased several times, and he could do it!
It seems Lin Hang really found treasure.
Not too much or too little, it really made Lin Huan's prediction come true. An hour later, the medicinal properties of the blood finally became weak and could no longer be absorbed.
Lin Hang finally got up, and at this moment he only felt that his strength was boundless, and every inch of his skin and blood was refreshing! After soaking in the beast's blood, it was more beneficial than two months of bitter practice. Lin Hang wiped clean the blood stains on his body, grinning from ear to ear.
It was then that he noticed the young leopard was still there.
"Little guy, why don't you go back?"
The young leopard got up from the ground and let out a strange cry of "wow wow" towards him. Lin Yang scratched his head and said, "I don't understand what you're saying." The young leopard ran to the elephant's corpse and bared its teeth at a certain part of the elephant's belly, crying "wow wow".
"Is the elephant already dead? You still ask me to cut it?" Lin Heng furrowed his brow.
The young leopard bit down, but the elephant's skin was too thick, and it only tore off a small piece. After that, it found it extremely difficult to tear again, so it let out a loud roar at Lin Hui instead.
Lin Heng understood its meaning, it was asking him to use an axe to help it split open.
Lin Heng took a heavy axe, catalyzing his hidden strength, and struck down with all his might at the spot he was aiming for. The young leopard excitedly barked and circled around Lin Heng's body, almost clapping its paws. Although the elephant beast had fallen, it was not easy to break open its thick skin wall either. After more than a dozen axe strikes, a hole was finally hacked open in the thick skin.
The young leopard jumped up eagerly, biting with its teeth, and its mouth gradually opened wider.
Lin Hang stood beside him, looking at what he was doing.
Only to see the young leopard's predecessor drill into the elephant's belly, and in a short while, it actually brought out a round ball.
"Internal Elixir!" Lin Huan's eyes widened in surprise, and he rubbed his eyes. This young leopard was actually the internal elixir of the Qilin!
The young leopard held the internal elixir in its mouth, with a smile that split from the corner of its mouth to the back of its head. It let out a few howls towards Lin Huan, then licked his hand again.
Lin Huan understood that it wanted to swallow the inner elixir, but also felt a bit embarrassed as the beast was killed by Lin Huan.
Lin Heng's body still had a demon crown python's inner elixir that was being refined with the mountain herbs, not rare at all, seeing it drooling with its long mouth watering appearance towards the inner elixir.
Smiling, "You enjoy it, I don't need it."
The young leopard listened and was delighted, calling out a few affectionate cries to Lin Huan before swallowing the inner elixir in one gulp.
Lin Heng picked up his luggage on the ground and found that the young leopard, who didn't know whether he had taken the inner elixir or not, was actually sleeping soundly under his feet, making a slight snoring sound.
This land has been ravaged by a great war, and the scars are still evident. Within a 200-meter radius, the dense forest was reduced to splinters by the energy of the elephant beast, leaving no hiding place on the barren plain. After a brief respite from the battle, many demon beasts slowly returned, occasionally gazing over from a distance.
Lin Lin shook the young leopard and found that its whole body was hot as embers, but it did not wake up.
Yes, Lin Hong finally confirmed that it was due to the medicinal power of the inner elixir.
He had originally wanted to leave as soon as possible, but seeing the situation now was not feasible. If he left, the young leopard would be unprotected and might immediately fall prey to a sneak attack by the demonic beast. After the battle earlier and then having the young leopard guide him in using the elephant beast's blood to treat his injuries, he had already come to regard the young leopard as an intimate comrade-in-arms.
He couldn't abandon this comrade in arms.
Just facing these ferocious beasts, he was also afraid. After all, he was only a second-grade cultivator. If the beasts were to gang up and attack him, he would definitely die.
Lin Heng picked up that heavy axe full of fresh blood, fiercely chopped at the elephant corpse, then let go, turned around and walked back to his original position.
The heavy axe hung lonely on the corpse of the four-star elephant beast, with blood dripping down, a terrifying scene. It was as if saying, this four-star elephant beast is the one I chopped, if you don't want to die, come over!!!
Lin stretched out his legs and sat beside the young leopard, protecting it.
He closed his eyes, seemingly not putting those peeping monsters in his heart, calm and composed. But his ears perked up, listening intently to the movements around him. In his heart, he was praying that his brother's pretentiousness could scare off these bloodthirsty ferocious monsters.
