C2 Pill Bait
"Brother Yu!" After confirming that she was temporarily safe, Ye Wanrong moved out and walked to Chen Yu's side. She glanced at Su Xu, who had collapsed into a pile of mud, and said, "Why do you have to go through so much trouble?"
Chen Yu smiled when he heard this. He didn't want to argue with Su Xu and Ye Wanrong so he said, "Black Scale Fox ate a lot of corpses. For the time being, they won't want to swallow us as food. We have to think of a way to leave!"
"Hmm?" Ye Wanrong was slightly enlivened. "Big Brother Yu, you have a way?"
"You can try! Wanrong, bring all of the Medicine Pill s over here! " Chen Yu looked at Ye Wanrong's familiar face with a complicated expression.
"Alright!" Ye Wanrong started to collect the Medicine Pill that everyone carried around with them.
Looking at Ye Wanrong's busy body, Chen Yu's gaze never left Ye Wanrong's slim figure. An indescribable yearning appeared in his eyes.
"For you, I can die. I wonder if you will remember me for the rest of your life?" Chen Yu muttered.
"Big Brother Yu, we have collected all the Medicine Pill. What are you talking about?" Ye Wanrong brought a few bottles of medicine over. She didn't hear Chen Yu's words clearly and asked.
"It's nothing!" Chen Yu came back to his senses, took the Pill Bottle and poured all of them on the ground.
There were not many Medicine Pill, a total of twenty or so, and all of them were ordinary Qi Replenishing Pills.
Casually throwing a pill into his mouth, Chen Yu sat down cross-legged and started circulating his cultivation technique to recover his zhen qi.
Everyone in the cave was stunned. They looked at Chen Yu in bewilderment.
Half an hour later, Chen Yu, who had recovered to his peak state, was cultivating straight and opened his eyes.
"Big Brother Yu, what exactly is your plan?" Ye Wanrong sat beside Chen Yu. Her face was still pale, but there was hope in it.
Chen Yu looked at Ye Wanrong, a strong feeling of sadness rising in his heart. He said, "Wanrong, you promised me that you will return to the castle alive. In the future, you must live well!"
"Big Brother Yu, what exactly do you want to do?" Ye Wanrong asked in a daze.
Chen Yu did not reply. He opened the small cloth bag that he carried with him and took out a stalk of herb. Then, he took out a palm-sized cauldron.
Herbs were Mysterious Dragon Grass, a relatively rare type of poisonous herb within the Divine Meteorite Mountain Range. Its toxicity wasn't considered strong, but it had a strong numbing effect.
As for the Cauldron, it was something that Chen Yu often used in his Divine Meteorite Mountain Range. When the time came, he would make medicine on the spot to help in his survival and cultivation.
He crushed the Bewildering Dragon Grass into liquid in the cauldron, then used the dagger to cut open the palm of his left hand and dripped blood into the cauldron.
After the blood and poison were mixed together, Chen Yu separated half of the Medicine Pill and stirred it gently.
After mixing them up and taking out the Medicine Pill to dry, Chen Yu gazed at Ye Wanrong's face once again, his eyes filled with nostalgia.
Then, Chen Yu made up his mind and stopped looking at Ye Wanrong.
He was afraid that he wouldn't want to leave Ye Wanrong because he couldn't bear to.
There was a limited time. After the Black Scale Fox digested the human corpses it had eaten earlier, it would rise up, and it would not be stuck at the entrance of the cave.
Chen Yu knew that this reluctance would only cause Ye Wanrong to die here with him.
Not responding to Ye Wanrong's question, Chen Yu did not even dare to look at Ye Wanrong's face. He walked to the mouth of the cave and looked at the ferocious Black Scale Fox lying on the ground lazily. He whistled and shouted: "Hey, big guy.
The lazy Black Scale Fox turned its head and looked over. There was a trace of suspicion in its scarlet eyes. However, it did not have any intention of attacking Chen Yu when it saw that he did not leave the cave.
It was already full. As long as Chen Yu didn't want to escape, it wouldn't care about him.
Chen Yu laughed. He threw out an ordinary Qi Replenishing Pill and it rolled towards the Black Scale Fox's mouth.
Everyone in the cave was dumbstruck.
At this moment, Ye Wanrong guessed Chen Yu's plan. She hugged Chen Yu's waist from behind and said with tears streaming down her face: "Brother Yu, don't do something foolish. I'm willing to die here with you, but I don't want you to lure the Black Scale Fox away by yourself!"
Chen Yu felt as if a knife was being twisted in his heart, but he didn't look back.
Chen Yu's plan, to put it bluntly, was very simple. He would use the poison pills to numb the Black Scale Fox and then use the time that the Black Scale Fox was paralyzed to run out and lure the Black Scale Fox away, winning Ye Wanrong a chance to escape.
Chen Yu had actually thought of this plan a long time ago, and it was not without confidence. This was because he had once read in an ancient book that there were strong warriors who used Medicine Pill s to feed the Black Scale Fox.
With its special physique, it was able to absorb the Medicine Pill's medicinal strength. Due to its greedy nature, it was easily addicted to eating pills.
Using the Medicine Pill as bait, the possibility of it taking effect was extremely high! However, as the one who sacrificed the Black Scale Fox, Chen Yu had no chance of survival.
It wasn't that Chen Yu didn't think about using the other people as bait to lure the Black Scale Fox away, but when he saw the other people's performance, including Su Xu's, Chen Yu was sure that his companions who were scared out of their wits by the Black Scale Fox's ferocity wouldn't be able to escape far.
Besides, no one would be willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of others. And Chen Yu did it for Ye Wanrong!
If it wasn't for Ye Wanrong, Chen Yu wouldn't care about the lives of others!
The Medicine Pill that was thrown out by Chen Yu rolled near the mouth of the Black Scale Fox. The Black Scale Fox carefully sniffed the Medicine Pill that rolled next to its mouth, and then stuck out its huge tongue, rolling up the Qi replenishing pellet and swallowing it.
After swallowing the Medicine Pill, it squinted its eyes as if it was sensing the Medicine Pill's taste and benefits. Then, its expression became excited as it slowly stood up and walked towards the cave entrance.
Chen Yu quickly threw out all the Medicine Pill in his hands that were not soaked in poison.
The Black Scale Fox that was as big as a small mountain suddenly became abnormally nimble, and sucked the Medicine Pill that Chen Yu threw into his mouth one by one without missing a beat. However, it did not notice that Chen Yu wanted to distance it away from the cave through the control of the Medicine Pill's landing point.
"The critical moment has arrived!"
Chen Yu threw over a Qi Replenishing Pill that had been soaked in the Miasma of Miasma.
This time, the Black Scale Fox did not directly roll its tongue into its mouth.
Obviously, its sensitive and powerful sense of smell detected the difference.
Chen Yu suddenly became nervous.
A seventh stage cunning Vicious Beast was not so easily tricked. The smell of the Bewitching Dragon Grass could not be considered strong, but it was definitely not tasteless. It had to be covered by the smell of blood, which was why Chen Yu had soaked the poison pill in his blood earlier.
After carefully sniffing around, the Black Scale Fox glanced at Chen Yu, as if trying to find some clues from Chen Yu's expression.
Chen Yu laughed and shouted: "We gave the Medicine Pill to you, let's discuss this, our meat is not tasty, can you let us leave?"
The Black Scale Fox growled, baring its sharp fangs as a warning, and threw the poison pill into its mouth.
"This beast is about to turn into a spirit beast!" Chen Yu cursed silently in his heart and quickly threw out the poison pills one by one.
Without any doubt, the Black Scale Fox swallowed all the Medicine Pill s one by one. Its stomach was like a bottomless pit, with twenty plus Qi Replenishing Pills swallowed, it was still not full yet!
"Run when I lure it away, Wanrong. Take care. You must live!" Staring intently at the Black Scale Fox, Chen Yu observed its ferocious look. He slowly pried open Ye Wanrong's hands around his waist and made his final farewell.
"No!" Ye Wanrong's tears fell like rain as she screamed.
"Now is the time!" Chen Yu had no time to worry about Ye Wanrong's emotions. Seeing that the Black Scale Fox's body had become slightly stiff, he jumped out of the hole and ran in the right direction.
A stalk of Mysterious Dragon Grass could easily poison a warrior with peak Qi Condensation Stage to death, but Chen Yu knew that for a powerful Demonic Beast like the Black Scale Fox, the Mysterious Dragon Grass could only be paralyzed for a short period of time. At this point of time, it was the key time for him to escape and lure the Black Scale Fox away.
The Black Scale Fox realized it was poisoned and roared angrily, rushing towards Chen Yu. However, it took two steps forward, and its huge body looked like it was tied up by an invisible rope, rolling on the ground.
The effects of the Bewitching Dragon Grass had taken full effect!
Chen Yu ran with all his might and quickly rushed out of the valley where the cave was located and headed towards the dense forest in the north.
20 seconds later, Chen Yu arrived at the edge of the forest. He looked back and saw Black Scale Fox chasing after him while stumbling and jumping around.
However, the Black Scale Fox's aura was already berserk to the extreme. Its scarlet eyes were full of hatred as it stared at Chen Yu, as if it would not rest until it was dead.
Chen Yu also saw Ye Wanrong standing at the cave entrance like a statue.
Chen Yu's eyes became moist and he did not dare to look anymore. He ran into the forest with all of his strength and increased the distance between them at the fastest speed possible.
"Woo woo!" Chen Yu rushed into the woods for less than half a minute. An angry roar came from behind and resounded through the forest. Following that, the sound of trees falling could be heard.
Judging from the voice, Chen Yu knew that the effects of the Bewitching Dragon Grass had passed and the Black Scale Fox had returned to normal.
Although the effect of the Bewitching Dragon Grass was strong, able to easily poison a practitioner with peak Qi Condensation Stage, it still had a limited effect on Black Scale Fox with a powerful body.
Even though the forest had a small restriction on the Black Scale Fox's speed, it was only temporary. The environment of the Divine Meteorite Mountain Range's center was complicated, and the dense forest could not exist forever. Under the Black Scale Fox's strong sense of smell, Chen Yu had no way of getting rid of the Black Scale Fox.
Three minutes later, Chen Yu rushed out of the forest. He couldn't help but look back, and saw that 100 meters away, the trees were constantly falling and the mountain-like body of the Black Scale Fox was plowing a path through the forest to chase him.
From its roar, Chen Yu could feel its determination to kill!
Outside the forest was a canyon, Chen Yu ran with all his might towards the end of the canyon.
Whistling
The cries of the Black Scale Fox were getting closer.
After five minutes, Chen Yu had already run to the end of the valley. He felt the true energy in his body turning obscure, and the Black Scale Fox's roar was getting closer and closer.
"In the end, can I not escape?"
Chen Yu became desperate.
Suddenly, a black swamp appeared behind the corner of the valley.
"Marsh? There's actually a swamp here? " Chen Yu's heart was ignited with hope as he continued to run at full speed.
At this moment, Chen Yu suddenly felt a strong gust of wind behind him. His soul was about to leave his body as he rushed forward with all his might.
The sharp giant claw grazed past Chen Yu's back. The huge force that was contained in it almost tore Chen Yu into two. Fresh blood spurted out from his back.
Even so, Chen Yu did not give up his instinct to escape. The moment he landed, he used both of his arms to push against the ground and ran again.
Fifty meters, forty meters, thirty meters …
He was getting closer to the edge of the swamp.
Hu, the Black Scale Fox's roar and the sound of its claws ripping through the air resounded from behind him again!
Chen Yu did not dare to turn his head and could only tilt his body.
Half of Chen Yu's body was torn apart by the claws and a large chunk of flesh and blood flew out. His entire body was also thrown away like a kite with its string cut.
His vision was already starting to turn black. The continuous spurting of blood made Chen Yu on the verge of dying.
"Howl", the Black Scale Fox stopped after hitting Chen Yu, jumped up, and then pounced towards Chen Yu.
"Damn beast!" Chen Yu spat out large mouthfuls of blood and rolled with what little strength he had left.
The sound of falling into the water was just like the sound of nature. Chen Yu was overjoyed. His exhausted body had once again triggered a trace of potential, causing him to paddle with all his might, trying his best to stay as far away from the shore as possible.
Boom! The Black Scale Fox's claws struck the water surface, stirring up millions of mud and sewage. Waves surged out of the swamp and a huge force swept towards Chen Yu.
Chen Yu's body trembled and blood spurted out of his mouth from the impact of the wave. However, he was pushed further away from the shore by the wave.
Standing at the edge of the swamp, Black Scale Fox roared at Chen Yu, who was about to be swallowed by the swamp.
However, the Black Scale Fox seemed to be very afraid of the swamp, and in the end, it did not jump into the swamp, but continued to roar and linger around the shore.
Chen Yu's blood dyed the swamp red. He did not have any strength left, his whole body sank down and he felt like his consciousness was about to sink into darkness.
What Chen Yu didn't know was that as his blood flowed more and more, the mud in the middle of the swamp, which was very far from him, suddenly started to churn and bubble. Then, a blood-red line suddenly appeared on the surface of the swamp and shot towards Chen Yu's direction.
