Chapter 24: An Unexpected Encounter with a Priceless Demon Beast

  A deafening sonic boom, like a fierce tiger's roar, the violent spiritual energy contained the soul of the tiger's might, crushing the exploding air and spreading everywhere. The cowfly standing beside it felt a huge wave-like fluctuation rushing towards its face, causing it to involuntarily take a step back. When the fluctuation dissipated and the sonic boom stopped, the cowfly stared with wide eyes at the past, but the two ferocious Fire Cloud Beasts had already disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only those blocks of flesh on the ground.

  The ox demon had never seen anyone else bring out the perfect stage of the Tiger Might Fist, but he still recognized it at a glance. The punch that Chen Luo threw was indeed the legendary fierce and overbearing Great Perfection Tiger Might Fist's soul.

  Good heavens!

  Chen Luo actually... actually cultivated the Tiger Might Infinite Fist to the Great Perfection Realm!

  "This is indeed a well-known easy-to-learn but difficult-to-master technique, throughout the entire Longxing City, no! Even in the entire Jinshui domain, there are not many who have cultivated the Tiger's Majesty Formless Fist to its peak, let alone achieving Great Perfection."

  If Chen Luo's previous punch had shattered the Fire Cloud Beast's bones, leaving Niu Meng in shock, then this time, witnessing Chen Luo unleash the Great Round Tiger Soul to annihilate two Fire Cloud Beasts, left him utterly stunned. This stun was not just physical, but also spiritual, a shock that reverberated deep within his soul.

  At this point, Chen Luo's pale and delicate face was also filled with an excited flush, exuding a majestic and powerful aura that made him feel invigorated and refreshed, both physically and mentally. This feeling brought him a sense of satisfaction that was in no way inferior to the satisfaction he felt when he cracked the formation back then.

  He walked over, picked up the two magic pills of Huoyun Beast from the ground, the magic pills were about the size of eggs, all red, and still quite hot in his hand. He handed them to Niuwen, who took them with a wooden expression, asking somewhat slowly: "Chen Luo, was it really the Great Round Perfect Tiger's Soul that you just hit out?"

  "It should be about right, but it's not a big success, only a small one. After some more time and practice, it should be fine." Chen Luo seemed to have exhausted himself as well, plopping down on the ground with his back against the tree trunk, opening his water bag and taking a few gulps of water.

  "You're really impressive."

  This is Niu Wen's sincere admiration, indeed, he now admires Chen Luo with all his heart and soul. In just over five months, he has opened up the six spiritual meridians, transformed every move, and even brought the Residual Shadow Three Moves to its peak, and also brought the Tiger Might Formless Fist to perfection. Any one of these three things, if done by someone else, would take several years to achieve, but he did it all in just over five months.

  If it weren't for seeing it with his own eyes, Niu Zhen would absolutely not believe that there were such perverted people in the world. Even now that he has seen it with his own eyes, it's like a dream and feels so unreal.

  In the following days, the two of them continued to stay here, just as Chen Luo had expected. After several days of tempering, they finally mastered the Tiger Might Infinite Fist perfectly. With his fierce spiritual power, he created the soul of Tiger Might Infinite, which was incredibly powerful and majestic, leaving everything in front of it crushed like withered grass, truly a sight to behold.

  Niú Méng also learned to confront Huǒ Yún Shòu like Chén Luò, in order to improve his own spiritual skills. However, after several days of continuous confrontation, there was no progress at all, which made him very depressed. Chén Luò wanted to help, but unfortunately, he didn't understand Niú Méng's spiritual skills at all, and couldn't help even if he wanted to.

  The heavily traumatized Niu Feng practiced for a few days, starving to the point where his chest was stuck to his back. He eventually gave up on practicing and started eating meat instead. This guy really liked eating the heart of Huoyun Beast. Chen Luo watched him eat with relish and also tried a few bites, but no matter what, he couldn't swallow it down. He handed it over to Niu Feng and said: "How can you stomach this thing?"

  "It's a habit." Niu Ying ate the heart of Huoyun Beast like eating an egg, and said: "When I was very young, my old man often brought back some demon beast hearts for me to eat, saying that it could make me grow taller."

  Chen Luo gave him a strange look, thinking to himself: No wonder this guy is so tall and big, with incredible strength, his muscles gleaming in the light, making people dizzy. It turns out that he grew up eating the hearts of magical beasts! Suddenly remembering Niu Feng's skillful knife work when dissecting the magical beast, he became curious and asked: "Old Niu, your dissection technique is so beautiful, have you ever thought about using spiritual energy to bring it out and see what effect it has?"

  "That's the knife technique passed down in my family, 'Ji Ling Pao Ding Knife'. To be honest with you, I've also tried using spiritual power to execute Ji Ling Pao Ding Knife before, but..."

  "But what?"

  "But it's too bloody, my dad won't let me do this."

  "What a bloody method? Let me take a look." Chen Luoshan was very curious.

  "This...". Niu Zhen hesitated for a moment, but soon nodded in agreement, saying: "Alright, when the Huo Yun beast comes, I'll let you see it. However... you mustn't tell outsiders, after all, my knife skills are a bit bloody."

  Chen Luo nodded sincerely, and after a few hours, when it was almost evening, a Fire Cloud Beast finally appeared. Niufei stood up after eating his fill, opened his package, selected a machete that was over a foot long, grasped the knife, and charged out directly.

  Ahh——

  The Huoyun Beast saw him and spat fire, but this time the Ox Hornet was clever and squatted in the water. The Huoyun Beast saw that the flames did not burn its opponent, let out a loud whinny, and pounced over.

  Wow!

  A cow suddenly jumped out of the water, raised its arm, and the sharp ruler knife in his hand rotated quickly. After operating the spiritual power, the rotating ruler knife burst into dazzling light.

  Whoosh——

  One slash, two slashes, three slashes!

  The speed of the ox demon's knife was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and in the blink of an eye, it swung out sixteen knives. Chen Luo watched with a stunned expression, seeing that the blood of the fire cloud beast was falling like rain from mid-air, the flesh and blood falling like neatly cut stone blocks, and the bones fluttering about like snowflakes.

  When the cow was cut open, the fire cloud beast fell to the ground in blocks. Strangely, it lay there intact, as if...as if it had never been dissected before. Only after a breath's time passed did the fire cloud beast's flesh and blood scatter, followed by its skeleton...it was like the scene of a flower blooming.

  Chen Luo stared blankly for a very, very long time. When his gaze shifted to Niu Ying, his eyes became even stranger, as if looking at a monster. He looked at Niu Ying like a monster, but in fact, he didn't know that Niu Ying had already listed him as an existence more terrifying than a monster.

  It was late at night, and the two of them were chatting idly. Before long, Niuwen started snoring. Since they were in a dense forest, the two didn't dare to sleep outside, so Niuwen dug a large hole. For several days, the two rested here, using stones to block the entrance when they slept, which was fairly safe.

  The only thing that annoyed Chen Luo was that the cow's snoring sound was so loud, and the space inside the cave was originally small. The cow's snore shook the mud on the wall of the cave, making it fall down. If he could sleep, it would be fine, but today he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Chen Luo sat up, called out to the cow twice, but it didn't respond at all. He shook his head, smiled helplessly, sighed, moved the stone away, walked out of the cave, and blocked the entrance again.

  In the night of the small spiritual realm in the jungle, there was no dazzling starry sky. Although there was moonlight, it was also very dim. At night, the weather here became even colder and darker. A gust of cool wind blew, and Chen Luo, who was only wearing a single layer of clothing, couldn't help but shiver. With nothing better to do, he continued walking along the lake shore. If he could encounter a Fire Cloud Beast, it would be perfect for warming himself up. However, his luck didn't seem to be very good. After walking for a long time, not only did he not see a Fire Cloud Beast, but he also didn't see any wild beasts at all. Just as he was hesitating about whether to continue forward or go back, a sudden urgent squeaking sound came from not far away. The voice was very sharp and fine, like the sound of an old mouse being squeezed.

  What's going on?

  Chen Luo's curiosity led him to follow the source of the sound, and after walking for a while, he saw a cluster of blue light flickering in the thicket. He quickened his pace, and as he got closer, he finally made out what it was - not a cluster of light, but two palm-sized, fluffy blue mice.

  At the sight of these two little things, a name immediately flashed into Chen's mind.

  First-order rare demon beast, treasure blue mouse, also known as sky-high price mouse, treasure mouse, and at the same time it is also the most valuable demon beast among first-order demon beasts.

  This little guy is a demon beast, but it has no attack power. Although it is the most valuable among the first-level demon beasts, its demon core is not worth much money. What's valuable is the Blue Rat itself, because this little guy is born with a keen sense of smell and can sniff out all sorts of treasures, such as rare spirit stones, rare spirit medicines, and so on.

  "We're rich..."

  Chen Luo had always wanted to have a sapphire mouse, but unfortunately, this thing was really too rare. Some people said that the number of sapphire mice in the entire Conglin Xiaoling realm did not exceed ten, and Chen Luo had lived here for several years when he was young, but had never met one before. He didn't expect to be so lucky today and meet two at once.

  Good luck has arrived and it's unstoppable.

  Chen Luoqiang suppressed the excitement in his heart, only to suddenly discover that something was off. The two bright blue mice that were originally lively and active began to sway unsteadily, looking dazed and disoriented. Before long, their little heads lolled to one side and they lay down on the ground.

  Is he dead?

  Impossible.

  Chen Luo suddenly thought of a possibility, narrowed his eyes and carefully observed. When he saw a blurry pattern on the ground, he suddenly realized that this pattern was not an ordinary pattern, but an array symbol. Since there was an array symbol, it meant that this was an array trap. When he saw a small bottle placed on the array symbol, he became even more convinced of his inner speculation.

  Because of this method, he often played when he was young, setting up an array trap and then using bait to lure the demon beast to be hunted over. I don't know what's in the bottle, but it can actually lure a precious demon beast like the Azure Mouse, looks like a high-end hunter, ordinary people absolutely don't know this kind of secret.

  Without thinking much, Chen Luo carefully stared at the formation. The two blue mice had almost instantly fainted earlier, from which it could be inferred that the formation should be a soul-dizzying formation. He had been following his master Yunyouzi to learn formations since he was sensible, and started practicing spiritual power through meditation at the age of three. He had spent more than ten years in the field of formations, creating hundreds of large and small formations, solving thousands of formations, and setting up countless formations, so he considered himself a mediocre expert in the field of formations.

  Of course, this is just a humble statement by Chen Luo. In fact, he has always believed that in the entire Xuan Huang world, no one can match his attainments in array techniques.

  After observing for a while, it's basically confirmed that this is just a soul-trapping array. The person who set up the formation should be worried about hurting the blue mouse, so there are no other related formations. However, Chen Luo didn't dare to rush in recklessly. Once he touched it, if he was trapped by the soul-trapping array, it would be a joke.

  Each formation has its own formation image, just like each person has his own face. From the expression on the face, one can see a person's joy and anger, and from the formation image, one can also see the structure of the formation.

  "It's a fairly professional soul-trapping array, with an intact structure, precise talismans, and decent positioning." Chen Luo smiled slightly and said, "However, that's all it is." As soon as he finished speaking, he began to break the array.

  His current spiritual power is relatively weak, and although he can't set up an array for the time being, he can still create a few talismans. Since he can create talismans, he can condense symbol seals, and condensing symbol seals can break arrays for him. Even if he can only create a few now, it's enough for Chen Luo.

  Taking a deep breath, his soul resonated at that moment, stirring up spiritual energy. His right hand's five fingers moved in rapid succession, and the weak, dark spiritual energy swirled around his fingertips before forming eerie symbols. However, after creating only ten symbols, his face began to pale, and beads of sweat dripped from his forehead. It seemed his spiritual energy was indeed too weak. Chen Luo gritted his teeth and persisted for a moment. When he created sixteen symbols, his right hand made a strange gesture, and the sixteen symbols quickly converged before forming a single symbol that silently fell onto the nearby array diagram. The originally still array diagram twisted in response.

  The formation is distorted, its formation structure is destroyed, and as a result, the formation becomes invalid.

  Chen Luo let out a breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered to himself: "Spiritual power is really too weak. If it were in the past, creating these sixteen talismans would be a matter of seconds, but now it takes so long and almost can't hold on. It seems that after a while, I must think of a way to let my spiritual power recover as soon as possible."

  The Soul Array lost its effect, and Chen Luo no longer had any reservations. He carefully reached out to take a sapphire mouse, which seemed to have lost consciousness and was placed in his bosom. Just as he was about to reach for the second one, a gentle and calm voice suddenly came from afar.

  "Excuse me, friend, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to take credit for someone else's hard work like this?"
