Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

Chen Zhao took out the stone he got from Edinburgh.

This stone is fused with the hundred-headed snake, the king of monsters.

The stone is very large, about forty meters in length, and more than twenty meters in small places, and is close to an oval shape.

The weight reached more than a thousand tons, and even a hundred-headed snake could not move it.

Chen Zhao has studied the texture of this stone intermittently these days.

But all to no avail.

Yang Guo said before that he felt the vitality contained in the stone.

He has now returned the small piece of stone that Chen Zhao gave him to Longhu Mountain.

Chen Zhao couldn't feel the vitality in it.

However, Chen Zhao had also seen this before in his battle with the Hundred-Headed Snake.

No matter how many heads Chen Zhao cuts off from the Hundred-Headed Snake, he can always grow them back.

Even Chen Zhao could not match that surging vitality.

Except for those beings who are so awesome that they can crush Chen Zhao to death with one finger, the vitality of the Hundred-Headed Snake is the largest that Chen Zhao has ever seen, and the being closest to immortality.

Even with a black trident, you still need to pierce the part where the hundred-headed snake is connected to the stone to kill it.

Chen Zhao suddenly thought of something. Satan's blood is pure destruction, and this stone is pure life force.

If they collide, who can stay?

Satan's blood is the most domineering thing Chen Zhao has ever seen.

Except Chen Zhao's black trident.

The black trident is because when the old turtle ascended to immortality, his inner elixir of immortal power was integrated into it.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the black trident is an immortal weapon.

And Satan's blood is even more domineering. Under the devil, you will die if you touch it.

It would take hundreds or even thousands of years for Chen Zhao to absorb the power of Satan's blood.

So Chen Zhao was wondering, if there was something that could neutralize Satan's blood, would it make it easier for Satan's blood to be absorbed.

But how to integrate it is another question.

Just let Satan's blood out of the bottle?

Not to mention anything else, the destructive power of Satan's blood alone directly destroyed Chen Zhao's Mingyue Villa and all living creatures within a hundred miles of it.

Of course, Chen Zhao could also use super cool magic to absorb the power of Satan's blood in advance.

But in this way, Satan's blood becomes a disposable weapon.

Chen Zhao cannot absorb it as his own power, but uses it as a weapon.

So the idea of ​​fusing the stone with Satan's blood is obviously not going to work.

Try it and see if your own immortal power responds to it.

Chen Zhao tried it and sent the immortal power into the stone, but there was no reaction.

Chen Zhao's palm gently stroked the rough surface.

The material of this stone is very hard.

But it's not that indestructible.

Chen Zhao thought of the hundred-headed snake, which could fuse with stones.

And it can also absorb the vitality in it.

But that kind of integration is obviously not what Chen Zhao wants.

Chen Zhao didn't want his body to grow on a stone.

Chen Zhao thought of a way, a very old-fashioned way.

Eat...eat rocks.

Chen Zhao broke off a stone from the boulder, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.

Of course it tastes bad, very bad.

After Chen Zhao finished eating it in one bite, his mouth was already dry and he had to drink it with water.

it works? Chen Zhao discovered that his digestive system was absorbing the life force from the stone.

But isn’t this absorption and digestion speed too slow?

Not only is it a problem of low efficiency, but the utilization rate is also very low.

If you take it orally.

Even if Chen Zhao ate day and night, it would still take him more than ten years to eat more than a thousand tons of stone.

At that time, even if Chen Zhao didn't have stones, his teeth would have collapsed.

And nine times out of ten, the vitality will be wasted in this way.

Will Chen Zhao have to absorb it a second time?

It makes me sick just thinking about it.

So taking it orally is obviously the stupidest way.

There must be a more efficient way to absorb it.

Chen Zhao considered another problem.

Why can it be absorbed in the stomach?

Is it stomach acid? Or is it just a liquid?

Chen Zhao thought for a while and decided to do an experiment.

Soak the stones in fresh water, sea water and acid vinegar respectively.

See how the three react to the stone.

After twenty minutes of soaking, Chen Zhao observed the conditions of the three.

They all seem to have similar effects.

Chen Zhao drank the liquid soaked in stones again.

The effect of soaking in sea water is the worst. Chen Zhao absorbs very little vitality, no more than 20% of the vitality.

Fresh water has the best effect and can absorb about 80% of the vitality in the liquid.

The effect of acid vinegar is in the middle, and the vitality in the liquid can be absorbed by about 50%.

However, acid vinegar dissolves stones the fastest, which is understandable.

After all, acid is the most corrosive substance in nature.

Chen Zhao thought, even if it were soaked in fresh water, it would probably take decades to completely dissolve such a large stone.

At this moment, Zhang Tianyi called.

"Chen Zhao, how are you doing lately?"

"not so good."

"Why are you speaking so harshly? Who else has made you unhappy?"

"No, what's the matter?"

"Can't I call you to say hello if nothing happens?"

"Okay, are you finished greeting me?"

"You must have taken the wrong medicine." Zhang Tianyi said frivolously.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

As soon as Zhang Tian heard Chen Zhao's impatience, he immediately returned to the topic.

"Okay, do you still have the stones you asked Yang Guo to send last time?"

"Yes." Chen Zhao's heart moved, but his tone remained calm.

"Get me some more."

"there is none left."

"Chen Zhao, can we be sincere?"

"You ask for it, do you think it's a lot? I only have a little."

"Judging from the marks on the stone you gave me, it must have been broken off from a very large stone. It weighs at least dozens of kilograms. I don't want much, so just give me half."

"Haha..." Chen Zhao sneered.

"Tell me the conditions." Zhang Tianyi said discouragedly.

"This stone contains a lot of vitality," Chen Zhao said.

Zhang Tian was even more discouraged when he heard Chen Zhao's words. Chen Zhao knew it, so his conditions couldn't be set too low.

"Stop talking nonsense and make some conditions."

"What do you call this thing in the supernatural world?" Chen Zhao asked.

"In China, this is called Hunyuan Stone, but in the supernatural world in Europe and America, it is called Life Stone."

"How do you usually absorb Hunyuan Stone?" Chen Zhao asked.

"It's difficult..."

"Excuse me." Chen Zhao hung up the phone directly.

Not long after, Zhang Tianyi called again: "Why are you like this? You hang up the phone whenever you disagree."

"No one told you to tell the truth."

"Okay, let's be honest. You tell me first how many Hunyuan Stones you have."

"About one hundred kilograms," Chen Zhao said.

"According to your treacherous character, that means it's at least two hundred kilograms."
