Practice begins with collecting character cards

Chapter 180 The Mystery Beast and the Companion Jade

Pulling out the Overlord Spear from the corpse of the giant ape, Xu Guan looked at the corpse of the giant ape on the ground, and had a general understanding of his current combat power.

When he fought this giant ape, the other party had actually fought the eight-armed ghost-faced spider once, and his body was wounded, which cost him a lot of energy.

If it is in good condition, it will be more difficult for him to fight with it.

In addition, Xu Gu'an has the experience advantage of fighting with the dungeon team many times.

"If I fight against other unknown blood refiners, I'm afraid the odds of winning are not high." Xu Gu'an muttered to himself, making a reasonable assessment of his own combat power.

Of course, because of his strong physical strength and his mastery of the Consummation-level blue sword technique, these two advantages gave him a chance to kill those blood refiners even though his chances of winning were not high.

In other words, although his cultivation base is still not high, he already possesses a powerful attack power comparable to that of a blood refiner!
"The first kill rewards of those Tier [-] elite monsters have greatly improved me." Xu Gu'an touched his aching breastbone and said to himself.

If his physique hadn't been strengthened, the blow he received from the giant ape just now might have broken his bones and hurt his internal organs.

He glanced at the huge corpse of the giant ape under his feet.

He was alone, and it was impossible to carry the whole body away like this.

Simply take away the most valuable part of it.

For example, the heart, one of the important sources of strength of the great ape, and marrow fluid, which are rare in the market.

The rest, although a pity, can only be given back to nature.

After finishing these, just when Xu Gu'an was about to lift the thick cloth bag, the bird and beast in the sky finally couldn't bear it anymore and flew straight down.

After breaking through layers of branches, the target was unexpectedly not Xu Gu'an, but the cloth bag in his hand.

The two iron claws grabbed directly at his hand, as if something in the cloth bag was attracting it.

"Get out!" Xu Gu'an has always been paying attention to the top of himself, and before the bird and beast succeeds, he takes back the cloth bag and cuts it out with a knife.

clang!
Xu Gu'an wanted to break off the opponent's claw, but the black knife collided with the opponent's claw, splashing a lot of flames, but he didn't cut off the bird's claw.

The claws, which seemed to be harder than iron, grew from an unknown structure.

However, although the opponent's claws were not severed, the power attached to the knife still caused the bird and beast to lose its balance and fell headlong.

Having lost its air superiority, it was quickly trapped on the ground by Xu Guan and beheaded.

Its body is also the hardest pair of claws, the other parts are still flesh and blood.

This is also a Tier [-] aerial monster, but it can only display its power in the air.

After landing, it is much clumsier than ordinary third-order land beasts, and it is not difficult to deal with.

But after that, Xu Gu'an quickly discovered that something was wrong.

On the road afterwards, more and more ferocious beasts came towards him inexplicably.

Logically speaking, the path he chose was surrounded by powerful ferocious beasts, and few other ferocious beasts would dare to approach.

Combined with the previous bird and beast and the giant ape's pursuit of him.

Obviously, there is something about him that deeply attracts them.

Let them smell and come.

"Blood smell? Or?" Xu Gu'an looked at the red-patterned egg in his cloth bag.

Reaching out to touch it, I immediately found that the touch of this egg was different.

From being as cold as a stone at first, to now a bit of warmth and heat are faintly growing.

"This?" Xu Gu'an didn't understand how the egg suddenly changed as if it had been opened.

But he faintly felt that maybe it was this egg that attracted those beasts to run towards him one after another.

They also seem to want the egg.

Fortunately, he is now far away from the core of the mountain range, and is in the hinterland area. Most of the beasts that appear are of the second or third level of strength.

As far as he is concerned, it is not so difficult to deal with.

Soon, another lone wolf of Yijin level rushed out, looking at the big pool of body fluid flowing from his mouth, it seemed that he had been hungry for many days.

Seeing this, Xu Guan wanted to see if it was really what he thought, so he took out the red-patterned egg from the cloth bag.

The next moment, the lone wolf's eyes rounded instantly, staring firmly at the egg in his hand, and never moved his eyes away.

Seeing the Lone Wolf's reaction, Xu Gu'an basically knew what he had expected.

These ferocious beasts came for the egg in his hand.

If you want to get rid of these ferocious beasts, the easiest way is to throw this egg.

But he doesn't.

The more coveted by these fierce beasts, the more special it is.

He wanted to see what this egg could eventually turn into or hatch by his side.

The lone wolf couldn't take it anymore and rushed over directly.

It was only about the level of Yijin's combat strength, and Xu Gu'an raised his hand and killed it instantly.

Then, he took the egg back and accelerated further towards the outside of the mountain range.

Since he decided to bring this egg, he couldn't stay in this ferocious mountain range for long.

Even taking an overnight break can be risky.

Only the further outside the safer.

Roar!
Another herd of mountain rat-like, but huge and spiky beasts rushed in, and he killed them one by one as he moved.

Occasionally, a powerful ferocious beast on the territory moved its nest and came looking for him.

This kind of ferocious beast of the fourth class will cause him a lot of trouble.

Fortunately, those different ferocious beasts suddenly come together, and they will also dislike each other, or the deadly enemies of the species, and fight directly.

Xu Gu'an was able to take the opportunity to get rid of these herds of beasts.

If it really doesn't work, he can also summon the character cards in his game team to protect him and resolve the crisis.

He has been stocking up on character realization cards all the time, and there are still several available.

That's it, all the way across.

After one day and one night, he left the hinterland of the mountain range and came to the outskirts. The pressure from the threats of ferocious beasts from all directions dropped sharply.

In the outer area, even third-tier tendon-yielding beasts are rare, and the most common ones are first- and second-tier beasts.

Here he was almost safe.

It took some more time to get out of the outskirts.

Before he blew the whistle, the Qingling horse ran over from nowhere, neighing and barking at him.

Seemed dissatisfied with his absence for such a long time this time.

"Go, go back." Xu Gu'an smiled slightly, his face was a little tired.

This way back can be said to be a bloody way he killed, killing countless various beasts, and even a few character cards exploded.

Among them, he even vaguely remembered the existence of a green card!

He didn't pay much attention to it, and planned to check it when he went back.

Apart from dealing with the endless stream of ferocious beasts, he never closed his eyes and rested along the way.

Even with such a strong body, he would feel a little tired.

Hanging the cloth bag on the horse's back, he got on the horse and headed towards Donglan Town.

After spending a few days alone in the deep mountains and old forests where no one lived, and returning to the town, he only felt that the fireworks in the town seemed very friendly.

He did not return to Wuyuan, but went to his Yuanxian Department Store.

"My lord, who is this?" Lin Chunzi saw Xu Gu'an coming, and immediately went up to meet him.

Seeing Xu Gu'an's body covered in mess and blood, as if he was a soldier returning from fighting for several days on the battlefield, made him feel terrified.

"Chunzi, take the horse down." Xu Gu'an ordered, and walked into the store with a cloth bag, and went straight up to the second floor.

"Young master." He Ruoying happened to bump into Xu Gu'an who came over, and she was startled when she saw his appearance, she covered her beating heart, and opened her small mouth halfway.

"Prepare me the water for washing, and another set of clean clothes." Xu Gu'an ordered again, and went up to the third floor.

Now several rooms have been opened up on the third floor, each with its own function, and one of them is where Xu Gu'an occasionally comes to live.

After a while, He Ruoying prepared bath water, clothes, bath towels, etc. for Xu Gu'an.

"My lord, the water is ready." He Ruoying whispered in the room, her voice was weak.

"Well, it's troublesome." Xu Gu'an nodded, and was about to take off his clothes, but seeing He Ruoying still standing aside, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"It's okay, you go out first."

"Um, yes" He Ruoying originally looked at the nervous face, but after hearing this, she calmed down and walked out of the room.

At some point, some blush appeared on her pretty white face.

He originally thought that Xu Gu'an suddenly wanted her to prepare bath water, which had other meanings.

Fortunately, she thought too much.

There is no scrubbing service, or even more excessive requirements.

Seemingly thinking more deeply, the young woman spit on herself secretly.

"Think, what do you think, don't be ashamed."

In the room, Xu Gu'an soaked himself in the bathtub, only feeling his whole body up and down, and only then did he have a chance to relax.

Wash away the dust and blood, and also wash away his fatigue.

After soaking for a full hour, Xu Gu An just got up and fell asleep on the bed in a daze.

It is true that no matter what happens in the wild, it is not as comfortable as a soft bed at home.

After falling asleep, waking up again will be the next day.

Zhang Yang sent He Ruoying to bring breakfast to Xu Guan.

A bowl of medicinal porridge rich in ingredients.

This is a type of food tonic prescription that Zhang Yang collected before. It combines precious medicinal materials and high-grade animal meat, which is very helpful for body training and even health.

The only downside is that the cost of ingredients is too high. Such a small bowl is enough to cover the food expenses of an ordinary family in the town for a year.

When Xu Gu An came, Zhang Yang would often prepare such a copy for him.

It has to be said that this butler is quite good in all aspects of his work, and it is difficult to pick out some faults from him.

After eating a bowl of medicinal porridge, Xu Gu'an's already empty stomach felt warmer.

But to say that it is not enough to be full, more meat supplements are needed.

Take out the red-patterned egg and the ghost wind flower from the cloth bag, and hand over the rest to He Ruoying.

"Take it for Zhang Yang to deal with, by the way, steam the pair of animal pupils and bring them to me." Xu Gu'an said.

He Ruoying nodded in response.

Inside the cloth bag were many treasures from heaven and earth that he picked along the way, as well as some precious things from third- and fourth-tier ferocious beasts.

In terms of value, there is no cheap one that can fit into his cloth bag.

Before that, he kept brushing the dungeons of Donglan Mountains, and found many good things that grew naturally, but he couldn't get them, which made him feel regretful.

One of the reasons for this trip is also to take away these good things that cannot be taken away in the copy.

Of course, he only took one planned route, and although he knew about more good things, he hadn't picked them up yet, so he could only wait for the next time.

Especially in the core area of ​​the mountain range, there are too many rare natural treasures in it.

Since no one has been picking it, it has grown extremely well.

Xu Gu'an planned to wait until he had broken through to the blood refinement realm, and then went to the core area to catch all the good things inside.

It is too risky for him to go deep into the core area now.

Although he has a few cash cards, it is impossible to just squander them all.

He also doesn't want to always rely on his own character card, the last word is that his own strength is strong enough.

After He Ruoying left with the cloth bag, Xu Gu'an put Gui Fenghua aside.

His eyes fell on the red-patterned egg.

Until now, he was able to observe this special egg more carefully.

The whole egg is elliptical, only about two circles bigger than a palm, not too big.

After all, he was in the hinterland of the Donglan Mountains, but he had seen the eggs of giant beasts, some of which were taller than humans.

In comparison, this egg is really small.

Reaching out to touch it, the temperature on the red-patterned egg was a little higher than yesterday.

Even the red stripes on it seem to be a little brighter.

Xu Guan wiped off the dust on it with a cloth, and brought the egg under the strong light from the window, wanting to see the inside of the egg.

However, the eggshell is so thick that not even light can penetrate it.

Xu Gu'an later discovered that the egg was extremely hard, even if he used all his strength, he could not crush it.

Not even a knife can break it open!

He also finally knew why the egg stealer didn't eat this egg.

Now it seems that it's not that it doesn't want to eat it, but that it can't eat it at all, which has been preserved until now.

It's just that he still has one puzzle.

The egg had been kept in that cave before, but it never attracted other ferocious beasts to loot it.

But as soon as it fell into his hands, all kinds of herds of beasts came chasing and intercepting it.

It was obvious that the egg had changed because of him.

The biggest difference is the temperature of the eggs.

It was as cold as a stone when I first got it, and now it has a certain temperature, as if it is hatching itself.

Perhaps the reason is related to the temperature change of the egg.

Based on this, Xu Gu'an pondered for himself.

There must be something in him that can cause the temperature of the egg to change when it is in his hand.

Soon, he found the reason.

It was the Tianji jade that he carried close to his body.

He noticed that as long as this egg was near his side, Tianjiyu would release some natural energy into the egg.

And when he took the Tianji jade away, the temperature on the egg's surface immediately receded, returning to its original coldness.

It's not difficult to guess that it is the Tianji jade on his body that maintains the temperature of this egg.

For the time being, he doesn't know what is the relationship between this jade pendant and this egg.

But in the dark, it seemed that something guided him to find this egg, and let the jade pendant meet this special egg.

He looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and then at the egg standing on the table beside him.

He couldn't help but wonder what this egg could bring him in the future.

For some reason, he felt an inexplicable closeness to this egg.

"Is it because of Tianjiyu?" Xu Guan was startled.

The Tianji Jade itself is naturally an unconscious treasure, but there is a special connection between it and this egg, and they are even attracted to each other because of this.

And Xu Gu'an may have this faint sense of intimacy because he got a lot of natural energy that penetrated into his body from the Tianji jade, which made him have this special connection with this egg.

"Could it be possible that relying on this piece of secret jade, can it really be hatched?" Xu Gu'an wondered in his heart.

After thinking about it, Xu Gu'an still decided to use an insight card to find out, otherwise he would only have worries all the time.

【Whether to use insight card】

"use."

His eyes fell on the red-patterned egg again, and the corresponding information content description appeared on the side.

Insight results.

Item: Damaged Celestial Beast Egg
Quality: purple

Introduction: The secret beast egg, which was sealed underground for a long time, returned to the world due to the movement of the earth's crust. Now it has lost the associated jade for too long, the carcass has been damaged, and the quality has declined. If the associated jade is found within nine years, the remaining vitality can continue to hatch.

(Note: Those who hold the accompanying jade will have a high probability of being chosen by the secret beast, and the life that they see at the first sight after birth has a small probability of being chosen by the secret beast.)
"Sky Mystery Beast" Xu Gu'an looked at the introduction and description, and finally understood this egg in his heart.

And the accompanying jade in his description is not difficult to guess, it is the Tianji jade in his hand.

The two are indeed related.

From the above description, it means that this egg can indeed hatch, and if he hatches this egg, there is a high probability that he will get a pet?
There is no more description of this Sky Mystery Beast in the information content of the insight, so he doesn't know what will be hatched in the end.

I just think this pet should be quite extraordinary.

After all, the Changfeng underground has not been decomposed, and it can still exist intact after undergoing crustal movement.

Even if the carcass is damaged, it's just that the accompanying jade has been lost for too long.

This is equivalent to that the external environment cannot harm this little thing that has not even been born.

He had never seen such a firm egg.

This is more like a living fossil than an egg that can hatch life.

After confirming the information of this egg, Xu Gu'an decided to keep it carefully.

After all, this is a purple quality egg, which is of the same grade as his Tianji jade.

"Let's see what kind of creature can be hatched." Xu Gu'an took the egg in his hand, rubbed it a few times, and murmured.

However, he doesn't know how long it will take to hatch, but it's best to keep the egg by his side as much as possible, so that the Tianji jade on his body can send natural energy to it all the time.

Let Zhang Yang prepare a strong enough black wooden box, Xu Gu'an put the egg in it, and then put the box into a small animal skin bag.

There is nothing to do on weekdays, so Xu Gu'an intends to take this egg with him when traveling, trying to hatch it as soon as possible.

On the other side, after a while, the egg-stealing beast pupil was brought up.

After Xu Gu'an ate it, he confirmed that the beast pupil in reality was indeed not as good as the first kill reward in the dungeon. Apart from the nutrients it was rich in, it could not improve his dynamic vision.

Now, it can be regarded as confirming his previous guess.

The same copy and the real thing sometimes have different functions.

After that, Xu Gu'an returned to the martial arts academy.

Sword Academy.

"Recently, those lunatics from the evil view appeared again. I thought you were taken away after you left silently for a few days this time." Seeing Xu Gu'an who came back, Qin Sanli said angrily.

"I made the teacher worry. I was negligent this time and didn't think carefully." Xu Gu'an immediately apologized.

When he went out on this trip, he only greeted the old dean and the housekeeper Zhang Yang, but did not inform Qin Sanli.

It just so happened that the evil view has shown signs of resurgence recently, which made him a little more worried about Xu Gu'an who was out of town.

"It's fine." Qin Sanli snorted softly, and was about to pour tea by himself.

Xu Gu'an took the first step with a smile, took the teapot, and poured it for him.

"A few students from the Martial Academy have disappeared recently. At present, it is judged that it is the work of the evil Taoist priest. Although you are strong now, you must be careful. After all, those madmen can do anything." Qin Sanli sighed. said with a sigh.

Of the missing students, he was familiar with two of them, but now that they had been missing for many days, it was more ominous.

"Aren't the dean and the Weng and Chen families in charge?" Xu Gu'an frowned and asked involuntarily.

Before he set off, he had vaguely heard of this matter, but he didn't expect it to become so serious in the past few days.

"The town is being thoroughly investigated, and a few bewitched lunatics have been caught, but they haven't been investigated yet," Qin Sanli said.

"Where is the evil view on the hill to the west of the town?"

"It was completely burned by the fire at the beginning, but no new evil views have been created."

"."

After Qin Sanli said peace and stayed with him for half a day, Xu Gu'an just left.

Now it's the hot summer and dry season, and he also brought Qin Sanli some fruits and vegetables to relieve the heat, which are cool and refreshing, enough for the old man to eat for a few days.

That night, Xu Gu'an met with Shen Zhongshan and Lu Liang, and it was still Shen Zhongshan's banquet.

At the dinner table, several people also talked more about the revived evil force of mad Taoist priests.

"Brother Shen, is there really no way to completely eradicate these guys?" Lu Liang shook his head.

Now the town is once again in turmoil, and even the students of the martial arts academy are all in danger, for fear that they will be taken away one day and their bright future will be ruined.

"It's too difficult." Shen Zhongshan drank a glass of mulled wine, sighed and said, "They come from outside the Donglan Mountains, and whenever wars break out frequently, they are extremely active, taking advantage of the chaos to recruit members and confuse people's hearts.

Even the troops in those big cities can't completely wipe out the Taoist priests in this evil view, so what can we do. "

He obviously knew more about these evil Taoist priests, not only what happened in Donglan Mountain, but also all kinds of news outside Donglan Mountain.

"In short, in recent days, we should be more careful. I even suspect that Weng Yan's disappearance may have something to do with these cults." Shen Zhongshan reminded.

Lu Liang was startled, if even Weng Yan was bewitched and taken away, then they are indeed quite dangerous.

"Brother Shen, do you have an explanation for this matter?" Xu Gu'an couldn't help asking.

"No, it's just my guess. There are also many elders in the family who have guessed in this regard, so recently, they have taken Xiaoxi very seriously." Shen Shenshan shook his head, and then added.

"I think there must be some people in Weng's family who suspected those evil Taoists. This time, the search for those evil Taoists was very intensive."

"If even Weng Yan is not spared, brother Xu, we really need to be careful." Lu Liang rarely said seriously.

Recently, he didn't want to go out to wander anymore, and planned to go two points and one line, either at the martial arts academy or at his home martial arts gym.
