Live Strong in the Wilderness
Chapter 454: Encountering the Illusionary Flower Beast Again
Although the Lightning Beast dragged Xu Yi, it still couldn’t stop Xu Yi from moving forward.
However, due to the dragging of the Lightning Beast, Xu Yi’s speed became very slow.
The Black Qilin was different, its speed was twice as fast as Xu Yi’s.
Unfortunately, the camera ball didn’t keep up; it circled behind Xu Yi. After the Black Qilin ran a distance, it disappeared from the screen.
Everyone knew that the Black Qilin was in a dangerous situation.
All the audience were anxious, hoping Xu Yi would wake up and leave this dangerous place.
But no matter how the Lightning Beast dragged, Xu Yi continued completely.
"Look, the Black Qilin..."
An observer discovered the Black Qilin, its body was pierced with countless vines, and it was almost shriveled.
However, its expression looked as if it was still enjoying itself.
Because of this, the audience felt their scalp tingle.
It’s terrifying; clearly, its body was nearly drained, yet it still seemed to feel very pleasurable.
Maybe the person involved doesn’t feel anything, but to outsiders, it’s very frightening.
On the ground, vines moved, ’swimming’ towards Xu Yi.
The Lightning Beast put Xu Yi down, claws emerging, dashing to Xu Yi’s front.
These vines couldn’t hurt the Lightning Beast; as they approached, they were bounced away by its telekinesis, and then they were slashed apart by its claws.
The Lightning Beast also cut off the vines penetrating the Black Qilin and rushed towards an enormous flower over a meter high and two meters wide.
"It’s the Illusionary Flower Beast, but it’s twice as large as the one Xu Yi encountered before, and the color is different, this flower is pink."
"I must say, this flower is really beautiful."
"The more beautiful something is, the deadlier it is, there’s some truth to that!"
"If not for the Lightning Beast this time, Xu Yi would probably be like the Black Qilin, covered in vines and then drained dry."
"The previous Lightning Beast was also loyal in protecting its master; Xu Yi’s luck really makes people envious. It would be great to have a companion like the Lightning Beast."
"Why hasn’t Xu Yi woken up, even though the vines were broken by the Lightning Beast, that flower should still be very dangerous, right?"
"The power of this flower is really too strong, Xu Yi is a Divine Master, his spiritual power is very strong, yet he still got hit."
"Huh, Xu Yi seems to be waking up?"
Because they saw Xu Yi suddenly squat down, and touch the Lightning Beast.
"Lightning, thank you. If it weren’t for you today, I might have gotten hurt." As he spoke, Xu Yi glanced at the Black Qilin lying over there, although it wasn’t dead, it would take at least ten days to recover.
The Lightning Beast licked Xu Yi’s face, looking very happy.
Then, Xu Yi took out a tablet and began to record a video and take photos of the Illusionary Flower Beast.
Xu Yi felt that this was the real Illusionary Flower Beast.
Because the flower could move. Just at a very slow speed, reminiscent of a snail’s pace.
After recording, Xu Yi moved a bit closer.
Poison Detection!
Using a poison detection skill, Xu Yi immediately received feedback.
"The pseudo-body of this creature can release extremely strong hallucinogenic substances, causing inhalers to experience hallucinations for more than 10 hours. The powder surface of this pseudo-body has strong analgesic and coagulating properties, and it accelerates wound healing to some extent. The body of this creature has certain benefits for enhancing spiritual power."
Whoa?
Did I miss something?
After all, this wasn’t the first time Xu Yi encountered the Illusionary Flower Beast.
These things are absolutely treasures.
Without hesitation, Xu Yi took out a plastic bag from his storage space.
Then, Xu Yi scraped these powders off the petals.
Thanks to his spiritual power, Xu Yi didn’t worry about them blowing away.
He scraped off a good ten pounds of powder before cleaning it off the petals.
After finishing, Xu Yi took the bag over to the Black Qilin, removed the vines from its body, and then applied some Illusionary Flower Beast pollen on its wounds.
The Black Qilin wasn’t dead, but it hadn’t come out of the hallucination either. After all, it lasts for 10 hours. Once time’s up, it will naturally awaken.
After a look at the Black Qilin, Xu Yi happily stored the bag of pollen in his storage space.
Now, it was time to deal with the Illusionary Flower Beast’s main body.
With that, Xu Yi sliced the petals away.
Underneath the petals was something resembling a turtle shell.
The main body was hiding inside; Xu Yi could clearly sense it using spiritual power.
Xu Yi took out his Engineer Shovel, dug a small pit, and gathered some firewood.
Adding some water to the pot, Xu Yi cooked while prying open the ’turtle shell.’
Inside, there was a lump of soft meat, white and tender.
"Folks, isn’t what Xu Yi dug up Taisui?"
"Nonsense, not everything white and tender is Taisui, okay?"
"But, this isn’t the Illusionary Flower Beast, is it? It looks different from the last one he encountered!"
"I think this should be the Illusionary Flower Beast; the one from the novice guide was probably cultivated; this is the real Illusionary Flower Beast."
"Is Xu Yi planning to cook it to eat? What’s the benefit for him?"
"Guessing blind, maybe it boosts Yang energy."
"Boosts Yang energy... How’s your mind even work?"
Xu Yi directly put that thing in the pot, cooking it.
After about a dozen minutes, the water in the pot boiled.
Yet the thing inside grew smaller and smaller, finally leaving only an orange brain crystal that Xu Yi retrieved with spiritual power.
An enticing aroma wafted from the pot.
In the end, that white mass dissolved into water.
When the temperature dropped, Xu Yi took a sip, finding the taste extremely sweet and refreshing.
The key was that after drinking it, Xu Yi felt his spiritual power was particularly active, indicating some enhancement.
Soon, Xu Yi drank more than half the pot.
The whole pot couldn’t be finished at once; Xu Yi bottled 350ml, finding there was still some left.
Just as he was about to get another plastic bottle to hold it, the Lightning Beast flew up, wanting to drink.
Thus, Xu Yi put the pot down, letting the Lightning Beast drink the rest. After all, it was a major contributor today and deserved some reward.
After patting the Lightning Beast’s head, Xu Yi began rummaging through a heap of skeletons.
Brain crystals, Xu Yi thought, there should be at least seventy or eighty bodies near the Illusionary Flower Beast, which means there might be brain crystals.
This was something he thought of too late. Otherwise, he would’ve done it earlier.
After searching, Xu Yi did indeed find brain crystals in the skulls of those fierce beasts.
Unfortunately, most of the brain crystals were transparent, their telekinesis power depleted.
No wonder, earlier when he scanned with his energy, he didn’t sense anything.
Seeing the evening nearing, Xu Yi prepared to scan one more time with his spiritual power, to see if anything might have slipped by.
"Huh?" Xu Yi suddenly sensed something and immediately went towards a skeleton.
