Chapter 33: Analysis of the Demonic Beast

  When I saw Fengyi Xuanhu using his divine ability, the first thing that came to mind was the battle between humans and demons that I saw near my own estate after crossing over.

  Long-toothed Devil Elephant, also a second-order advanced beast, is the top-level alien beast that awakens the talent of precognitive divine ability. However, due to its massive body size and rough skin and thick flesh that surpasses the defensive power of fifth-grade metal heavy armor, as well as the stone armor all over its body, martial artists are helpless against it. In the end, it was still the combined efforts of the martial artists and farmers from several surrounding villages, who also urgently summoned a small Cloud Piercing Ballista, that managed to kill it.

  What impressed Yue Yu the most at that time was the two kinds of stone spears that could emerge from the ground used by the Longtoothed Demon Elephant, as well as the divine ability to cover its body with a layer of stone.

  This made him feel both awed and curious about this unknown power, with a strong desire to control it. However, so far, Yue Yu knew that it was based on the power of the earth spirit, but he could not understand its usage method and principle.

  Actually, at that time, he really wanted to analyze the body of the Longtoothed Demon Elephant, but first, the demon elephant was dead on the spot, and its corpse had lost its yuan force and spiritual energy, those mysterious substances, so it wasn't a complete existence. For these divine deductions, there wasn't much use. Secondly, at that time, Yue Yu didn't have the opportunity to touch the demon elephant's corpse, which was immediately dissected on the spot, then distributed according to ratio, allocated to several villages that had contributed to the effort.

  Yue Yu had long noticed that in the Yue family castle where he was, there were already similar demonic beasts being raised like livestock. However, these meats were still one of the most scarce living materials in the castle.

  In the following months, Yue Yu tried to find clues from those books and some martial arts secret books, but until he finished flipping through the books in the library, except for knowing more names of the heavenly abilities of the demon beasts, there was nothing else to gain. Finally, he also tried to analyze the bodies of other demon beasts to find the reason, but similarly gained nothing.

  It can be imagined that when he saw this little fox using the Gale Technique, Yue Yu's heart was filled with surprise and excitement at that time. In terms of practicality, the Wind Wing Mystic Fox's innate divine ability is undoubtedly much more suitable for him than the Stone Gun Stone Armor of the Longtooth Demon Elephant.

  With his hand on the Xuan Fox's neck, Yue Yu released several dozen strands of true energy that seeped into the Wind Wing Xuan Fox's body. Then, in a web-like pattern, he began to meticulously analyze every inch of its body. He discovered that the Xuan Fox's primordial energy was slowly dissipating, a sign that its life force was fading away. In the Wind Wing Xuan Fox's meridians, those true essences mixed with green wind attribute spiritual energy were still flowing, but their speed had slowed down and showed signs of beginning to condense.

  Yue Yu knew that once the Mystic Fox was thoroughly dead, these wind-attributed spiritual energies would begin to condense around a portion of the Mystic Fox's true yuan as their core, forming a structure similar to crystals.

  Generally speaking, if we exclude the differences in meridian structure, the demonic power of the Xuanhu is not very pure and mixed with other things. Compared to human true energy, there is no essential difference. If you must say that there is a difference, then it is that humans are mainly based on their own true yuan, while external spiritual energy is secondary. The situation of the Xuanhu is completely opposite, its demonic power has a great affinity and attraction for wind attribute spiritual energy. These situations, Yue Yu had also seen in the bodies of those demon beasts raised in the city.

  He focused on the route of the demonic energy flowing through the Wind Winged Mystic Fox's body. As it is said that wind has no constant nature, among the various spiritual energies in the world, the wind spirit energy is one of the most difficult to control. Moreover, wherever it passes, the inner walls of the meridians often become dry and withered, and over time will gradually harden and lose their elasticity. However, the Mystic Fox's meridians seem to have an extremely strong resistance to this, and in terms of harm, are far less affected than humans. Nevertheless, Yue Yu could still infer the daily flow route of the Mystic Fox's demonic energy from those faint signs. Especially with regards to the 'Gust Technique', it can be seen that several meridians are scarred and damaged. It seems that forcibly using this innate divine ability also causes significant harm to it.

  Next is the muscle and skeletal structure of the Wind Winged Fox, which is relatively smaller than its demonic properties and meridian structure. However, Yue Yu still didn't dare to be slightly careless, trying her best to record the structure of every cell of the Wind Winged Fox in her auxiliary system's database.

  And when he finally finished parsing, Yue Yu took his hand off the palm, it was almost half an hour. And after he stood up, the first thing he did was to cut the throat of this strange beast with a knife. Ran Li beside him had been waiting impatiently, and now seeing the Xuan Fox die, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and a hint of regret appeared in his eyes. This little fox looked extremely cute despite its ferocity, and he had originally thought about whether to take it back and ask the experienced beast tamers in the clan if they could tame it. As a result, Yue Yu's knife went down, and naturally, everything was dropped.

  Yue Yu waited a bit longer, until the mysterious fox died several minutes later, and the wind attribute spiritual energy inside its body completely condensed into crystals. Only then did he take them out. The meridians of the demon beast are much simpler than those of humans, but each acupoint is extremely large. These crystals fell on various key points, scattered and fragmented, with a size of less than a grain of rice. If it weren't for Yue Yu, others would be unable to completely remove them before thoroughly dissecting its corpse.

  Next were the corpses of several single-horned bears, and when it came to the snake-tailed turtle, Yue Yu did not immediately take action, but hesitated for a moment before placing his hand on the head of this demon beast. Just now he had been wondering, the snake-tailed turtle was skilled in controlling earth, and after growing to the sixth rank, it might awaken its water attribute divine ability. However, he had never heard that this demon beast had such sharp dynamic vision.

  The true energy seeped into the eyes of the snake-tailed turtle, and when the analyzed eye structure completed a three-dimensional map in Yue Yu's brain, Yue Yu seemed to have an idea, and began to work on capturing the spiritual crystal.

  The nerve connection between the eyes of this snake-tailed turtle and its brain is extremely short. Moreover, the meridians in its own eyes are extremely complex. If his conjecture was correct, it should produce an effect similar to that of insect compound eyes after running the Qi, which is equivalent to a kind of innate divine communication. According to Yue Yu's knowledge, human movements in the eyes of those flies and mosquitoes are slowed down by several times. Being able to catch the Wind Winged Fox, which even he couldn't succeed in catching, isn't that unusual.

  Unfortunately, the snake-tailed turtle was already dead, and its true yuan spiritual energy had completely solidified. Yue Yu was unable to fully analyze it. If not for this, his interest in these eyes would have surpassed even his interest in the Gale Technique.

  Like the red-browed eagle bone arrows they had obtained, Yue Yu did not choose to bring back the bodies of these demonic beasts. If people were to know that they had ventured deep into the valley and still managed to return safely with several second-tier superior demonic beasts equivalent in strength to ninth-level warriors, it would only be trouble for themselves.

  And afterwards, Yue Yu slightly retreated the scope of their activities. His personality seemed to be somewhat reckless and impulsive, but in reality he was extremely cautious and never liked to take risks. Although sometimes he would do some unconventional things, such as ambushing those four martial artists earlier. However, most of the time, it was because he saw several times or even dozens of times more benefits, or certain situations where he had no other choice.

  In fact, the two of them had come this far not just to dump a body. If they were to die in an area where only mid-to-low-level demonic beasts roamed, it would be too fake. But being able to obtain the complete structural diagram of the Wind Winged Fox's body was an unexpected delight.

  Compared to the forest outside the canyon, the mountainous area behind is undoubtedly much safer. As for medicinal herbs, just within the Black Cloud Mountain range, there's already enough for them to spend several days searching.

  It is undeniable that Yue Yu was indeed very interested in those third and fourth grade demonic beasts, but only if he could ensure his own safety. Especially after the battle with Yue You Cheng and having the good fortune to witness the fight between the demonic beasts, Yue Yu now had an even deeper sense of self-preservation. There were too many unpredictable and unaccountable things in this world. If Yue Yu was careful, then it would be better for him to be more cautious.
