In the blood maple forest, Chi Yao was still walking forward step by step.
His eyes were closed tightly, and his arms on both sides did not swing smoothly, as if they were restricted by something. However, this slightly awkward posture did not affect the firmness and calmness of his steps.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The rhythm of footfall is like the pacing of the heart, making the entire maple forest beat with it.
And the further he walked, the hotter Chi Yao felt his body became, as if he had endless energy with no outlet, which made him subconsciously walk faster and faster.
Although the pace has quickened, the rhythm is not chaotic at all.
Even when he started running in the maple forest, he did not break away from that wonderful state. The only difference was that the owner of the cave who was observing from the mountain next door looked more nervous, and there was even a faint sweat on his forehead.
Because at this moment, as Chi Yao's area of action is getting larger and larger, the strange phenomenon has almost covered almost the entire Blood Maple Forest, and it is about to spread if it continues to develop.
But unfortunately, even though Chi Yao couldn't see the path under his feet, he never stepped an inch out of the Blood Maple Forest. He stuck to this boundary, as if he was deliberately testing the boundary.
And where no one was aware, strands of light red mist were being absorbed into Chi Yao's body along with Chi Yao's strange rhythmic breathing and breathing.
The mouth, nose, pores, and other organs that can interact with the outside world are all swallowing, as if they are a hungry glutton, greedily absorbing everything that can be absorbed around it.
This blood mist did not spread randomly after entering the body, but focused on infecting one of the claws of the Seven Jue Gu - that is where the power Gu is located.
The Qi Jue Gu, which was originally as white as jade, gradually turned into a crimson color due to the contamination of the blood mist, which was incompatible with the overall tone.
In the end, I don’t know whether he was ostracized because of his unsociable color, or whether he chose to leave on his own initiative, but in short, the red claws broke away from the body of the jade scorpion-shaped Seven Ultimate Gu, formed a separate form, and continued to accumulate blood and energy. Start changing the form below.
It gradually grew from the size of a fingernail to the size of a fist, and its shape also changed from cheliceae to the shape of a ginseng fruit. Then it continued to grow, becoming a baby, half body, and finally the same body shape as Chi Yao. Well... except for the slightly taller one. Beyond the corners of the head.
At the moment when the force Gu completely merged with Chi Yao's body, the hurricane surrounding him quietly dissipated, and Chi Yao slowly stopped and opened his eyes.
Buzz——
In a flash of light, the big bloody cocoon exploded, and maple leaves fell like rain.
"This is……"
He only felt that he was in a trance, as if he had had a long dream, and he seemed to be in the dream...
"Huh?"
As if he thought of something, Chi Yao quickly reached out and touched his forehead. The flat and smooth touch made him sigh in relief, "It's okay, okay, I didn't turn into a minotaur."
The pair of horns growing on Chi You's head make people feel powerful and domineering, but if they were to be installed on himself, I'm afraid the impression would be different, so I'd better not be sensitive.
"However, I still feel that something is different..."
With such doubts, he began to look inside to check his physical condition.
It was okay if I didn’t check it, but I was immediately shocked when I checked it.
"Why did my Seven Jue Gu break my leg?"
Looking at the Qi Jue Gu, which was missing one of its claws and looked like it was disabled, Chi Yao wanted to cry but had no tears. The most important thing was that he had no idea what was happening.
"Oh? The exploration has been completed, what reward was given?"
There was no other way. Chi Yao, who was heartbroken beyond measure, had no choice but to divert his attention and focus on the system rewards.
"Four-star Gu prescription - Chi You's Blood Power Gu. It is made with Chi You's blood and power Gu as the main materials, supplemented by a special refining method. When combined with the body, Chi You's body can be obtained."
Seeing this introduction, Chi Yao fell into deep thought.
"Using Chi You's blood and power Gu as materials..."
Repeating these words softly, he looked up and looked at the maple leaves around him that had become much darker in color. He seemed to gradually understand something.
"So, during that confused period just now, I unconsciously perfected this Gu?"
Chi Yao waved his fist and felt that his strength seemed to have increased. However, what is the use of this so-called Chi You's body still needs time to be studied carefully.
A majestic soldier, a demon god, can't just be stronger, right?
Just when he wanted to continue studying the changes in his body, a slightly urgent call sounded from not far away: "Little brother Chi Yao?"
"Huh? Lord of the Great Cave?"
Chi Yao turned around when he heard this and said casually, "I'm here!"
Then he saw the other party running toward him in a hurry.
It turned out that when Chi Yao stopped and the vision in the blood maple forest disappeared, the owner of the great cave, who had been observing on the mountain, could not restrain his worries and chose to enter the forest to investigate in person.
But it seemed that apart from the fact that many maple trees had been blown away and many of their branches and leaves had become bald, no major changes were found. Then he began to look for the source that might have caused all these changes. Chi Yao
traces.
"call,"
Seeing Chi Yao standing there fine, the owner of the cave breathed a sigh of relief, and asked as he walked over quickly, "Are you okay?"
"It should be considered okay?"
Chi Yao's tone was a little uncertain.
"What do you mean... hmm!"
Before the Master of Dadong finished speaking, he suddenly let out a muffled groan mixed with pain, and then quickly reached out and took out an ocher-colored wooden carving the size of a palm from his arms.
Chi Yao, who was very close, could clearly see that the hand holding the wood carving was starting to smoke.
"What...what exactly did you do?"
The owner of Dadong endured the pain in his palms, as if they were being burned by fire, and looked at Chi Yao suspiciously.
But Chi Yao was more interested in the wooden sculpture in his hand, so he reached out and gently grabbed the wooden sculpture.
Whoosh——
The wood carving Jin directly let go of his hand, and took the initiative to get into Chi Yao's hand like a baby bird throwing itself into the forest. What's even more amazing is that when it was clearly in the hands of the owner of the cave, the high temperature emitted by the wood carving made him moan in pain.
But now that it was in Chi Yao's hands, he couldn't feel the slightest bit of burning. He just felt that the wood carving was very comfortable to hold and had a kind and familiar feeling.
And the moment he got the wood carving, he automatically understood the purpose of this thing like a revelation.
"Is it used to test the purity of Chi You's bloodline?"
Thinking of this, he looked at the Master of the Great Cave with a half-smile but a look of shock on his face, "It seems that I am more qualified than you to take the position of Master of the Twelve Coves?"
