Chapter 068
At least compared to the first needle, which didn't even leave a mark, this bruise that took a while to fade away should be considered...
Apparently, pain is a special kind.
At least compared to the first needle, which didn't even leave a mark, this bruise that took a while to disappear should be considered...special, right?
Cheng Hui lifted his shirt and took a look. Originally there was a fist-sized bruise on the side of his waist, but now it was only the size of a coin. If he delayed a little longer, even this small bruise would disappear.
Lin Qingyang used the excuse of observing the wound to move closer for a closer look.
The slightly warm breath hit the sensitive side of his waist, and Cheng Hui shuddered unconsciously. He looked at Lin Qingyang suspiciously: "You can just look, why are you blowing on my waist?"
Lin Qingyang: ...Oh, there's no trace of ambiguity at all.
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Lin Qingyang frowned, "Sorry, I'm probably breathing too hard. Don't move, I need to take a closer look."
Cheng Hui was confused. Why did he feel like he was angry again?
Wait, why did I say again?
Eh... I always feel that ever since that conversation just now, this kid has been speaking in a sarcastic tone.
Cheng Hui smacked his lips. Never mind. He had just rejected someone, so why shouldn't he let them down a bit? He'd just have to bear it.
"Okay, take a look." Cheng Hui turned his face away, enduring the itch there, and tried his best to divert his attention to other places around him.
"The bruises will disappear soon. Your self-healing ability is really good now. It's good this way. It will be safer." Lin Qingyang let go of Cheng Hui's clothes reluctantly. When he withdrew his hand, his fingertips accidentally rubbed against his waist.
Cheng Hui shuddered and almost jumped up. Seeing Lin Qingyang's innocent look, he could only secretly persuade himself that he was still a child and he probably didn't mean it.
Lin·Child·Qingyang:...Ha!
"Wait, look, what is that?" Cheng Hui saw a green object approaching not far away.
It is really abnormal that a large area of green suddenly appears in this barren yellow desert.
Not to mention that the large area of green was approaching strangely, Cheng Hui instinctively became alert.
"Go and take a look, don't get too close." Lin Qingyang leaped up and soon came near the green mass.
In Cheng Hui's consciousness, this green area looked like just an ordinary black lawn, and that was what Lin Qingyang saw when he got closer.
But if it was real grass, how could it move so strangely? According to Cheng Hui's rough calculation, from the time he saw the green to the time they approached, the grass had moved at least 50 meters.
Cheng Hui picked up a stone and threw it into the lawn, but the lawn did not change at all.
Cheng Hui thought about it, changed the shape of his right hand, turned it into a sword, and stabbed it fiercely into the ground -
When he pulled his arm out, he had already caught a black ball of fur in his hand.
This unfortunate ball of fur was sleeping and was inexplicably ambushed. Before it could struggle, Cheng Hui threw it into the green lawn.
He could feel that as the lawn approached, the black fur balls hidden under the gravel were moving away rapidly, and those that did not have time to escape seemed to have disappeared.
The black fur ball felt something in mid-air and began to struggle desperately, with a large number of black steel needles shooting madly in all directions.
Due to the twisting force, the black hair ball failed to fall smoothly into the lawn, but fell about one meter away from the edge of the lawn.
As soon as the black ball landed on the ground, it ran desperately in the opposite direction of the lawn, but the seemingly ordinary lawn suddenly bounced up from the ground, rushed out and wrapped up the black ball.
The grass wrapped around the black ball of fur, and then there was a creepy chewing sound.
A large amount of black and red blood flowed out from the cracks in the grass and was licked away by more weeds that swarmed in.
Perhaps knowing that its disguise had lost its effect, the grass on the ground slowly bulged into a terrifying arc, as if some terrifying monster was hidden under the green grass.
'It' slowly stood up, as if looking at Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang not far away. Even though the other party had no eyes, the two could still feel the greedy gaze that made them feel like a thorn in their backs.
Cheng Hui was so angry at its reaction that he laughed. Did the other party treat them as prey?
After observing for a while, the grass slowly lay down again. If no one had seen the scene with their own eyes, no one would have noticed the specialness of this lawn.
"Is this thing targeting us?" Cheng Hui said with a smile.
The shortcomings of this lawn are obvious. In terms of speed, it cannot catch up with Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang at all.
The only disguise that might have worked had been exposed, so the lawn posed no threat to the two men at all.
Even though the grass looked scary and moved swiftly just now, if you look closely you will find that its attack range is limited. As long as you don't get close, there is no need to worry about any danger.
Caoping's intelligence should be pretty good. After watching for a while, he probably felt that he didn't have the ability to swallow Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang, so he decisively took a detour.
Cheng Hui watched as such a large lawn moved on the gravel like flowing water. The speed was not fast, but combined with its camouflage, it was still amazing.
The black ball of hair seemed to have a special sensory perception for the lawn monster, and would be detected as long as it got close enough.
Unfortunately, the distance was a little too close, and the black hair balls were hidden too concentratedly. Cheng Hui could see through his spiritual sense that the lawn monster was leisurely hunting the black hair balls, and it could gain something with every movement. However, when it approached a slightly larger black hair ball, it avoided it.
"Hmm?" Cheng Hui looked at the black ball with great interest. It had been sleeping under the gravel and hadn't even noticed the lawn monster approaching. If it weren't for the still moving body, Cheng Hui would have thought it was dead.
"What's wrong?" Lin Qingyang did not have Cheng Hui's surveillance methods, so he naturally didn't know what happened. However, he knew that Cheng Hui had a unique way of obtaining a large amount of intelligence, so he asked directly.
When Cheng Hui explained the situation, Lin Qingyang thought for a moment and said, "Let's go and catch that special black ball of hair and take a look."
Cheng Hui responded, and as he walked over, he found that in addition to the previous black hair balls, the lawn monster also bypassed several special black hair balls.
The black-haired ball that had chased them and made them flee in a panic before was completely powerless to resist when facing the lawn monster. Their black steel needles hit the lawn monster, but there was no reaction at all.
The battle between the two sides was not a battle at all, it was a one-sided massacre. The black-haired balls suffered heavy losses. Cheng Hui even suspected that the entire black-haired ball tribe living nearby would suffer.
With Cheng Hui pointing the way, the two soon arrived above the special black hair ball. The black hair ball seemed to be sleeping, and the two dug it out of the ground without any hesitation.
The black hair ball has no vocal organs, so they don’t know whether it screamed or not. However, judging from its reaction, it seems that it is still sleeping and may not even know that it has been dug out.
"Dig a few more and then leave." Lin Qingyang said.
"Okay." Cheng Hui also agreed. A few special samples would be enough. If nothing could be obtained from these special samples, no matter how many black hair balls there were, they would be useless.
The two of them moved quickly and soon dug out five or six black hair balls under Cheng Hui's command.
When they dug out the third black hair ball, Cheng Hui noticed something wrong. Those black hair balls that were fleeing in a panic seemed to have discovered something and were actually approaching them despite the pressure of the lawn monster.
"Hurry up and dig two more, those black hair balls are coming closer." Cheng Hui instructed.
Lin Qingyang dug two more quickly, and then the two of them quickly escaped from the desert against the attack edge of the lawn monster.
The remaining black hair balls exploded into thorns one by one, as if they were screaming silently.
"Something's wrong."
The moment those black hair balls screamed silently, Cheng Hui's heart began beating violently.
He paused and instinctively threw away all the black hair balls in his hands.
Bang!
Bang bang bang!
Those black hair balls exploded almost the moment he threw them out, and countless black steel needles sprayed onto the ground with a large amount of black and red blood.
Because of the hasty move, the black hair balls were not thrown far enough, and some blood spots still splashed on Cheng Hui's body.
Originally, Lin Qingyang would also be attacked, but Cheng Hui blocked him behind him and blocked those attacks.
"What happened? Are you hurt?" Lin Qingyang rushed forward and saw a small black stain on Cheng Hui's back, his pupils shrank suddenly.
"It's okay...hiss..." Cheng Hui grinned. He didn't mean to be stubborn, but what happened just now was a bit thrilling. He didn't even realize that he was injured until now.
Lin Qingyang's heart tightened and he quickly took off his outer robe. He saw that under the black stains, Cheng Hui's skin had been corroded and black blood was gradually flowing out.
Lin Qingyang pursed his lips and without saying a word, took out the best healing pill and fed it to Cheng Hui.
"Need not……"
Facing Lin Qingyang's terrifying expression, Cheng Hui decisively swallowed back his words of refusal.
It was not known whether it was the effect of the elixir or his own healing ability, but the corroded skin soon returned to normal.
Cheng Hui turned his head and looked at the large area of corroded ground not far away, and couldn't help but click his tongue.
When I saw the lawn monster eating the black ball of hair, it bled a lot, but I didn't see that blood having such great power. How come it's so powerful now?
At that time, they were being chased by a group of black fur balls. If two of these creatures had taken a detour to block their way and also performed the same self-destruction trick, they would probably have been finished.
Cheng Hui secretly rejoiced that he had escaped the disaster, and looked at the corroded land with a sense of sympathy.
This can also be considered as an experience. After having such an experience, he will never underestimate any enemy he encounters in the future.
"Hey? Look what that is?" Cheng Hui noticed that there seemed to be something faintly flashing on the black land.
Lin Qingyang forbad him to get close to there. He walked over and used magic to pick up several jade beads on the ground. He rinsed them with water for a long time before taking them back.
Those jade beads are of different sizes. The largest one is about the size of a child's fist, and the smallest one is only the size of a fingernail.
These beads are round and smooth on the outside and emit a lustrous luster on the inside. At first glance, you might think they are jade, but they feel very warm to the touch, and even the spiritual energy in the body is activated a little because of them.
"Good stuff." As soon as he got the thing, Cheng Hui knew and felt its value.
Practicing with this jade bead can effectively improve their practice efficiency.
We have been in this ancient tomb for less than half a day and have gained such a harvest. No wonder the Immortal's Tomb is so dangerous, but countless people still flock to it.
