One pound of meat equals one attribute point

Li Daoxuan lay straight on the ground, his zombie-like body trembled twice, and then he opened his eyes.

His eyes stared at the sky, which scared Luo Shuang beside him, and she almost stumbled and sat on the ground.

"Old man, are you okay!?" Luo Shuang's face was full of disbelief.

"Ahem!" Li Daoxuan said, "It's not a big problem, I'm still alive."

"When I left the Hong family's earthen fort, I already noticed that someone was following me. I pretended to faint just now, and I wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of this person." Li Daoxuan covered his chest and coughed violently twice. Su Heng hurriedly reached out and gently supported him, letting him sit up.

Li Daoxuan stretched out his hand like lightning, and pressed hard on his chest, and a touch of blood finally appeared on his dark and shriveled face.

"I didn't expect you to come here, and I can breathe a little longer."

"You even fooled me." Luo Shuang's face was surprised and happy.

"That guy is quite alert. How can I fool him if I don't fool you? I just didn't expect..." Li Daoxuan shook his head and sighed.

Su Heng realized that although he woke up, his condition was still quite bad.

Not only Li Daoxuan, but also Luo Shuang, Wang Xinlong and others were in the same situation. They were seriously injured and were just holding on.

"I brought you some pills." Su Heng stood up, untied his robe and shook it twice.

A lot of healing pills fell out of his robe and piled up into a small mountain on the ground.

"Some elders who stayed in the Demon Suppression Division are rushing here. I came a little faster." Su Heng suggested, "You should stabilize your injuries here first, and then make plans."

"Okay." Li Daoxuan nodded.

"Thank you, Tower Master!" Luo Shuang clasped his fists towards Su Heng, his face full of gratitude.

"I'll keep watch for you." Su Heng didn't say anything polite. He flashed and sat cross-legged on a big stone at the entrance of the village.

Whether in the Demon Suppression Division or outside.

As long as Su Heng is watching here, it is basically absolutely safe.

Luo Shuang, Li Daoxuan and others distributed the pills to each other and began to recover their energy and heal their wounds.

The night was peaceful, but occasionally one could hear the whirring sound of leaves rubbing against each other when the wind blew, and the occasional chirping of summer insects in the bushes.

A whole night passed in the blink of an eye.

The sun emerged from the eastern hilltop, and a series of fiery red lights swept across the sky.

A crow with black feathers and red eyes flapped its wings and flew over Su Heng's head, landing on the twisted dead tree beside him.

"Hu..."

Su Heng opened his eyes and retracted his perception.

His eyes were bright and restrained, and his temperament became more neutral and peaceful. This was a change brought about by gradually adapting to the powerful increase in the dragon state.

In the abandoned village in front of him.

Some elders with lighter injuries have resumed their activities, while others with more serious injuries are still sitting quietly to heal their wounds.

There were even a few young-looking faces, lighting a bonfire in an open space, and grilling wild game that they had hunted from nowhere.

A few young people squatted on the ground and added firewood to the bonfire while chatting and laughing.

Such a positive attitude of finding joy in adversity is quite good.

Su Heng retracted his gaze.

His big hand fumbled in his arms for a while and took out a piece of prismatic white snake scale.

He removed the fusion of the water ghost venom sac, and then attached the snake scale to a position slightly below the heart. The scales merged into Su Heng's dermis, bringing a refreshing and cool feeling, extending outward like summer spring water, and finally spread all over the body, forming a complete subcutaneous inner armor.

This layer of inner armor, as if Su Heng had it when he was born, fits the body perfectly.

He opened and closed his five fingers, and then walked back and forth on the ground for two steps, trying various movements, and did not feel any discomfort.

He sat on the stone again.

He pinched his skin with his fingernails and could clearly feel that it was much more flexible.

"The external scales in the dragon state, the snake scales under the skin, and the steel bones, this is really armed to the teeth." Su Heng didn't practice any special type of martial arts, but unknowingly, his defense has been stacked to a very exaggerated degree.

And this snake scale that can significantly increase the defense is still the least noticeable one for the white snake's demon skeleton.

Su Heng closed his eyes.

But within a range of more than ten meters around him, every blade of grass and every movement was clearly captured by him.

This feeling is a bit like a white eye or a transparent world. Ordinary people can only see the scenery in front of them, but Su Heng can feel everything around him without dead angles at 360 degrees.

As for the most powerful power of the white snake demon scale, it is still the golden energy rune that Su Heng had seen on Liu Qingqing before and was quite impressed. This rune is called "demon pattern" in Su Heng's attribute panel. Objects covered by the demon pattern can be controlled by Su Heng remotely.

Click!

He moved his mind and reached out to gently pat the stone under his buttocks.

Su Heng flashed to the side, and the huge yellow stone in front of him began to tremble violently.

Dust fell off the stone, and cracks spread. Then with a crash, the stone suddenly exploded, and a stone man more than two meters tall appeared in the billowing smoke and dust.

It had a head and arms, and the joints were all connected by golden "demon patterns", and it could move freely like a normal human.

Su Heng's mind moved.

The stone man rotated 360 degrees on the spot.

It can also jump, kick, and even do difficult moves like splits in mid-air.

Su Heng was having a lot of fun playing alone. He just glanced and saw some people from the Demon Suppression Division in the village were attracted by curiosity. Su Heng lowered his head and coughed twice, then waved his hand, and the stone man disintegrated and turned into a pool of gravel falling to the ground.

This talent is somewhat similar to the force field manipulation of the wolf king, and both can be roughly classified as abilities such as "controlling objects remotely".

The difference is that the white snake's talent is more refined and can be developed in more ways.

The wolf king's force field manipulation has a longer range and a more direct effect, and the main feature is a strong force that can make bricks fly.

Both have their advantages and disadvantages.

But the white snake's talent will have more application scenarios.

"It would be great if the two talents could be combined and the advantages could be combined with each other." Su Heng couldn't help thinking.

After all, the number of demon skeletons that can be integrated into his body is limited, although it can be replaced at any time.

But this also takes some time.

In battle, there is no time to do these trivial things.

And he carries it with him every day. If he accidentally loses it one day, it will be a joke.

He can now use attribute points to strengthen the demon skeleton, but he can't fuse the two demon skeletons. Maybe there will be similar records in the Demon Suppression Department? Su Heng is not sure, but he just writes down this idea for the time being and goes to the library to look for information after returning.

Tap tap!

Soft footsteps came.

Su Heng raised his head and saw Luo Shuang staring at two dark circles under his eyes.

"You look better than last night." Su Heng smiled. Although Luo Shuang still looked tired, her breath had stabilized.

"Thanks to the elixir you brought and you keeping watch here." Luo Shuang smiled and said, "You feel safe when you sit here with your physique."

"The old man wants to see you." Luo Shuang's smile faded and he whispered.

"How is he now?" Su Heng followed Luo Shuang and the two walked side by side.

Although he was asking, he actually had the answer in his heart. The two practiced the same technique. Su Heng could tell at a glance what Li Daoxuan's specific situation was last night. That feeling of exhaustion was not fake.

"You'll know when you meet him." Luo Shuang sighed, and seemed unwilling to talk more.

Su Heng did not continue to ask, and the two hurried on their way.

Soon they arrived at a sunny hillside behind the village.

Li Daoxuan stood on a stone on the hillside to bask in the sun, and there were more than a dozen elders lined up on both sides. They all lowered their heads and did not speak. Even though the sun had risen, the golden sunlight dispelled the chill. The atmosphere still seemed very solemn.

Only when Su Heng approached did some elders nod to him, with gratitude and awe on their faces.

Luo Shuang stopped and stepped aside.

Su Heng walked forward alone and came to Li Daoxuan.

Looking up, he saw that the old man's face was full of red and his eyes were bright.

Su Heng shook his head instead, knowing that this was a last gasp. The cells and organs in the body release the last energy. When this energy is completely consumed and the five internal organs fail, there is no hope.

"Any last words?" Su Heng folded his hands in front of his chest and looked at the same sun as Li Daoxuan.

"I thought you would be sadder." Li Daoxuan said in a joking tone.

"I think you should have expected death."

Su Heng whispered: "But the sun, when it extinguishes and falls to collect all the desolate sunset, it is also the moment when it burns on the other side and climbs to the top of the mountain, emitting the fierce morning light."

Li Daoxuan was stunned after hearing this, as if he didn't expect Su Heng, a brainless and reckless man, to say such a philosophical thing.

So, Li Daoxuan asked, "Then, are you willing to become the sun of Baihua County?"

He took out the jade token representing the identity of the Dusi of the Demon Suppression Division from his arms. Su Heng paused slightly, nodded, and reached out to take it.

"I am willing." He said.

Su Heng was mentally prepared that Li Daoxuan might pass the position of Dusi to him.

And he was happy to accept it both publicly and privately.

From a personal perspective, the Demon Suppression Division is backed by the imperial court and can provide Su Heng with a large amount of meat and real skills needed to improve his strength.

From a public perspective, his family and friends are all in Baihua County. The tragedy that happened in Changqing County is still vivid in his mind, and he doesn't want the same thing to happen again in Baihua County.

In contrast, he is alone and fighting outside.

Just traveling around and collecting information about demons, I don't know how much time it will take.

So Su Heng didn't think much, nodded and agreed.

Seeing him solemnly accept the token, Li Daoxuan seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden, a smile appeared on his face, and he exhaled a long breath of turbid air.

"Anything else?" Su Heng asked patiently.

Although the two have known each other for a short time, they get along very happily.

Li Daoxuan taught him Tiangang Demon Evil and helped him recast the Ghost Sees Sorrow. Su Heng didn't really regard many people as friends, and Li Daoxuan was one of them. But now, this friend is about to leave.

"Do you remember the first time we met?" After taking off the heavy burden of the Demon Suppression Division, Li Daoxuan seemed to be full of heroic spirit.

"I still remember." Su Heng nodded.

"Boy!" Li Daoxuan's eyes flashed with gold, "Let's fight again?"

"You are almost dying now, is there any point in fighting again?" Su Heng frowned slightly, seeming a little puzzled.

"When I was a beggar, I fought with other beggars for half a steamed bun in the stinking ditch. When I was a little older, I fought hard to prove myself to my master.

Then, maybe it was luck, maybe it was other reasons. Those who were of the same generation as me and much better than me died, and I became the chief of the Demon Suppression Division. Then I fought for various heavy reasons, and I could only win and not lose."

The sun finally climbed over the mountain, and countless golden and brilliant rays of light sprinkled on Li Daoxuan's body and face, giving the old man's body a layer of blurred golden edges.

"But now, I fight with you just for a simple and pure reason."

"What reason?"

"Curious." Li Daoxuan suddenly laughed loudly, "I want to know, what kind of realm is the ultimate force that I have dreamed of for a hundred years but have never touched, and can easily suppress everything!"

Swish!

Li Daoxuan's voice had just fallen, and Su Heng had not yet nodded in agreement.

A long fist turned into a black light and suddenly tore through the air, whistling towards the center of Su Heng's face.
