Chapter 502 - Swamp Blood Pill
Kill!
Gu Zuo seed to hear the sound of murderous shouts, which were produced and overlapped through the qi field coming from the nearly solidified killing intent around his family’s big brother. The instant these sounds appeared, he realized that his own surroundings had beco a surge of turbulent wind. In the blink of an eye, that terrifying and vicious tiger was already in front of them!
It was his big brother who had taken the initiative to attack!
Gu Zuo took a deep breath.
He intuitively knew that this ferocious tiger was extrely difficult to deal with. While he might’ve not been a burden previously, he definitely beca a liability in high-intensity combat whether he liked it or not.
Because of him, big brother’s speed might’ve been a little slower. Because of him, big brother had to devote so energy to protect him. Because of him, big brother would even be a little distracted.
If the enemy’s strength was far inferior to that of Gongyi Tianheng, this would naturally be nothing to worry about. However, once the enemy’s strength was equal to that of big brother, then it was obvious that he would be a fatal weak point.
From the ominous glint flickering in the blood tiger’s eyes and the cunning displayed in its attacks, dodges, and guards, Gu Zuo saw that, although the blood tiger wasn’t as smart as humans, it possessed intelligence and was capable of using strategy.
As such, it was going to...
Gu Zuo abruptly released an extrely sturdy psychic power shield, which blocked the front of him and big brother!
Right at this mont, the blood tiger’s sharp claws scratched the shield’s surface, and tore the shield to pieces the next instant! But fortunately, Tianheng swiftly counterattacked during this montary resistance. His fingers ford a blade, and suddenly slashed down — In a split second, a saber light nearly four ters long burst forth. Its blood-red color and luster were glaring to the eyes. Then, the saber light chopped down towards the blood tiger’s body.
Imdiately following that, Tianheng threw Gu Zuo onto his back, swung out with his fists, and moved forward with explosive strikes!
At this ti, the blood tiger had just dodged the saber light, but a deep wound was still cut open by the sharp edge. All of a sudden, an enormous, blood-red fist ca straight at it. The blood tiger had no choice but to flap its wings and soar up, intending to distance itself.
However, Tianheng wasn’t going to let it go. He leaped in the direction of the blood tiger and floated in the air. Subsequently, he sent out one explosive punch after another, not giving the blood tiger the slightest chance to react. He wanted to kill it in one fell swoop!
But since the blood tiger was one of the powerhouses in the depths of the blood swamp, it naturally wasn’t that easy to handle in its own habitat. Its speed was as fast as lightning. When its wings spread out, a blood-red light shield appeared around its body. Every ti it was shattered by those punches, the shield would condense again.
At this ti, the battle between one man and one tiger seed to have turned into a war of attrition.
Gu Zuo was sowhat worried: “Big brother, if we stake everything to fight it, we won’t necessarily be able to defeat this tiger. Granted that the tiger used up its energy first, if it opens its mouth and roars, it could summon other ferocious blood beasts. At that ti, we would be caught up in the encirclent of powerful blood beasts, and it would be hard to save ourselves.”
He could communicate with big brother in a normal state, but he wasn’t sure about this asura incarnation. Because big brother had just fallen into a haze of boundless killing intent, he didn’t know if the other would listen or not...
However, what was worth rejoicing over was that it seed, no matter what aspect of Tianheng’s personality was magnified, Gu Zuo’s words would always reach him.
Following what Gu Zuo said, the bloody light in Tianheng’s eyes clearly waned a bit. As for the originally surging killing intent, although it was still strong, it had also cald down sowhat.
Tianheng said: “Ah Zuo is right. We should leave.”
Gu Zuo tightly hugged Tianheng’s neck: “In that case, shall we go now?”
Tianheng spoke in a soft voice: “Allow to block it.”
Once he finished speaking, Gu Zuo saw a river of blood dozens of ters long appear in front of the blood tiger. It cut across both sides of the battlefield, and flowed with a blood fiend’s aura that was on the brink of madness.
Imdiately following which, the river of blood suddenly produced several whirlpools. What erged from each whirlpool was sothing that resembled the shape of a human. These unusual lifeforms were uncanny and strange. Their forms were very vague, and the bladed weapons held in their grasps were similarly indistinct. The instant the blood tiger approached, the lifeforms abruptly charged at the beast!
At the sa ti, Tianheng’s figure turned into a bloody shadow as he rushed to the outside of the blood swamp at great speeds: “Let’s go!”
Gu Zuo’s legs promptly clamped around his dear big brother’s waist. Likewise, he tossed out an extrely thick psychic power barrier, which acted as the next obstacle after the blood river. This would give them more ti to escape!
The facts proved that the pair’s actions were very tily.
Just when the blood tiger killed a blood river lifeform, it found that the water level of the blood river had dropped slightly. However, once a new blood river lifeform regenerated inside, it looked up to the sky, and let out a roar.
The blood tiger was still fighting against the blood river lifeforms, but its fierce eyes were staring straight at the fleeing figures of Gu Zuo and Tianheng. This gaze was filled with unwillingness.
It was also at this ti that more brutal and ferocious sounds ca from deeper in the blood swamp in response to the blood tiger’s call.
Nurous incomparably tall silhouettes that were perated with terrifying qi emissions were appearing one after another from the depths.
Gu Zuo inadvertently turned his head and looked back. Right away, he was shocked to the extre: “Big brother, go faster! You need to speed up!”
Without a mont of hesitation, Tianheng’s entire body practically turned into an afterimage, carrying away Gu Zuo in a flash. Ignoring any blood beasts blocking the way, they frantically flew through the blood swamp of the Yellow Valley Forest like a violent gale!
At the final juncture, Tianheng fought hard, and his figure beca a little dim. Using a blood evasion technique, they finally left the blood swamp the instant the blood beast silhouettes were about to overtake them.
It was quite odd. No matter how savage or ferocious the blood beasts were in the back, they were actually being restricted by this dangerous land, and couldn’t take a single step outside at all.
In this way, Gu Zuo and Tianheng escaped at last.
Gu Zuo heaved a long sigh: “Close call...”
Tianheng’s eyes were flickering with a delighted radiance: “Amid danger, seek riches and honor. Ah Zuo, the size of our harvest on this trip is enough to outweigh the perils just now.”
Gu Zuo was silent.
Okay, he was sowhat used to this.
However, things couldn’t be allowed to continue just like that. Gu Zuo jumped off Tianheng’s back, and spoke with so heartache: “Big brother, have you consud too much energy? Your body had faded a lot.”
Tianheng gave an ambiguous smile. He stuck out his tongue, and licked Gu Zuo’s outstretched, caressing hand: “It doesn’t bother .”
anwhile, Gu Zuo retracted his hand right away. He was simply startled: “Big brother, you’re really...”
Soon after, he ca to his senses, and resolutely examined the asura incarnation very carefully.
— The final result of this inspection was that he indeed used up too much energy.
Gu Zuo shook his head: “We’re going back. After that, I’m refining the Blood Poison Pills imdiately!”
Tianheng’s voice was loving and inseparable. It was filled with tender sentints that couldn’t be put into words: “Okay, I’ll listen to Ah Zuo.”
After returning to the pair’s mountain peak, Gu Zuo pressed down on Gongyi Tianheng and told him to obediently wait by his side. As for Gu Zuo, he really did things according to his own way of thinking. He combined the prescriptions of several types of dicinal ingredients, and started refining on the other side — From this point on, he wouldn’t let this fellow with a personality defect act alone!
Tianheng was very well-behaved. He sat cross-legged on the side, supported his chin with one hand, and silently watched Gu Zuo matching and comparing the pill prescriptions. He knew that all of this was for the sake of refining the Blood Poison Pills for him. And this type of pill was undoubtedly a new, tailor-made pill prescription. It was necessary to make enormous modifications among similar prescriptions in the past. If, by any chance, such modifications couldn’t be made, the only way was to learn from the experience of those prescriptions and create a completely new one.
When Gu Zuo was refining dicine, he concentrated fully on it. If a stranger was next to him, perhaps he would pay attention to whether the other party was up to sothing. But if it was the person he trusted the most, then he would imrse himself wholeheartedly, leaving no chance for distraction.
Just like now.
Gu Zuo kept matching and comparing the dicinal ingredients, and constantly fired up the furnace to refine pills. What was strange was that, because the combination of ingredients was relatively perfect, none of the batches of dicinal pills were ssed up. Instead, so of the things taken out of the furnace had unusual dicinal effects. As a pharmacist, Gu Zuo easily differentiated them.
Apart from those haphazard derivative products, there were several types that really ford so decent Blood Poison Pills. It was just that the dicinal power wasn’t as good as he thought — If these pills were taken, it would be impossible to replenish enough of big brother’s blood poison within a short period of ti.
However, things weren’t really that bad. After all, Gu Zuo was soone with his own trains of thought. Following this, he only needed to test them one by one before he could complete it. Among these Blood Poison Pills, one had a new ability that ca about by accident. While it wouldn’t be good for consumption, because the blood gall of the blood beasts was the main ingredient, it actually produced a power that slightly restrained the aura of the blood swamp’s poisonous bloodlust.
It was probably the concept of using poison to fight poison. Or perhaps, the prescription was just weird. So long as one held onto this type of Blood Poison Pill, it automatically generated a protective cover under the blood swamp’s oppression when traveling through it. Everything within a range of one ter would be enveloped by this cover, which resisted the onslaught of the poisonous bloodlust.
Soon after, the Blood Poison Pill would be quickly used up. The protective cover would be maintained until the dicinal power was completely exhausted.
Gu Zuo picked out this type of dicinal pill first: “Big brother, I feel that this kind of Blood Poison Pill isn’t the sa thing we want to research, so I intend to keep it separate and give it another na.”
Tianheng faintly nodded his head: “No matter what ideas Ah Zuo may have, I will always listen to them.”
Gu Zuo’s face heated up.
Most of the ti, he was immune. Yet, there were still tis when the soft part at the bottom of his heart was poked, catching him off guard.
Gu Zuo rubbed his face: “Big brother, why don’t you give it a na?”
Tianheng smiled and said: “Let’s call it the Swamp Blood Pill. When people hear it, they’ll know that it’s related to the blood swamp. How about that?”
Gu Zuo thought about it, and said: “This can be considered a thod of sales promotion. The original na of the dicinal pill was too unfamiliar, so it wouldn’t have been too easy to use when popularizing it. Now that it carries the na of the blood swamp, there will certainly be so people paying attention to it. At that ti, so long as the product quality of the pill is good enough, we can make a lot of money.”
The blood swamp was rich in resources, but it was only due to the place’s poisonous bloodlust that few dared to venture inside and go on expeditions. Once people had the Swamp Blood Pill, they would have much more confidence, and things would naturally be different in the future.
After discussing this, Gu Zuo set the Swamp Blood Pill to the side, and continued researching the Blood Poison Pills.
Having matched and compared a dozen or so prescriptions, he finally obtained a result that satisfied him.
