The life-and-death crisis lasted only a moment, yet it seemed very long.
In a short period of time, scene after scene flashed through Scythe's mind like slides.
There was the time when he first entered the martial arts world, when he joined the Dragon Emperor, when he experienced life-and-death crises... and what Xiao Chen said to him in front of the pillar.
Just when he thought he was going to die, a sword light appeared in front of him like lightning and stabbed the giant bear.
The sword light was extremely fast, so fast that the sickle had no time to react.
Swish.
The sword pierced fiercely into the giant bear's front paw, breaking its defense... Even though it had thick skin and flesh, it could not withstand this blow.
"roar!"
The giant bear roared loudly as the severe pain came. Its front paws, which were supposed to hit the sickle's head, shrank back due to the severe pain.
Hearing the thunder-like roar in his ears, Scythe suddenly woke up and subconsciously stepped back.
When he looked carefully and saw a long sword stuck in the giant bear's front paw, he couldn't help but be stunned. Where did the sword come from?
Then, he saw Xiao Chen, Chi Feng and Hua Youque beside him.
"roar!"
Without waiting for Scythe to say anything, the giant bear roared, opened its bloody mouth, and rushed towards Xiao Chen.
“It’s pretty fierce.”
Xiao Chen looked at the giant bear charging at him, muttered something, jumped up, and kicked out with his right foot.
Bang.
His right foot kicked the giant bear hard.
The huge force kicked the giant bear back a few steps, causing it to stagger.
Xiao Chen also felt his right foot go a little numb and was surprised that this big guy was more powerful than he had imagined.
It can be seen from this that it is rare for the sickle to last so long.
In addition to his own strength, his combat power and fighting skills are also a means of survival.
If someone with the same level and strength came, he might not be able to hold on for so long.
"Who are you?"
Scythe was also very upset when he saw Xiao Chen repel the giant bear.
So strong?
He was almost unable to fight back after being attacked by the giant bear, and he knew how terrifying the giant bear was...but the man in front of him fought off the giant bear with one blow.
"I just saw injustice on the road."
Xiao Chen looked at the sickle and said lightly.
"Seeking justice?"
The sickle was stunned for a moment, endured the pain, and bowed.
"I wonder which branch the three of you are from? You will be rewarded for saving my life."
"Blood Dragon Camp."
Xiao Chen said casually.
This is what he just thought of. The Blood Dragon Camp is abroad all year round, and... seems a little special.
Therefore, the Blood Dragon Battalion and Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils should not be that familiar.
"Blood Dragon Camp?"
The sickle was stunned for a moment, then it suddenly dawned on him, no wonder it was so powerful.
The Blood Dragon Battalion, one of the three battalions, is also the most special... It is said that the members of the Blood Dragon Battalion have all fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and have killed too many people abroad.
"Let me take care of this bear first, then we can do anything else."
After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he slowly walked towards the giant bear.
When the giant bear saw Xiao Chen coming, it seemed to know that it couldn't win, so it turned around and tried to run away.
However, now that he had encountered it, how could Xiao Chen let it escape again?
Swish.
As Xiao Chen waved his hand, the sword on the giant bear's front paw shook violently, tearing its claws apart.
Blood splattered.
"roar……"
The giant bear roared continuously, deafening.
"Kill it... There is a crystal core under its heart that will be of great use."
Scythe yelled.
"Um?"
Hearing what the sickle said, Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment. There is a crystal core?
However, since Scythe said so, he would not let the giant bear go if there was any benefit.
Thinking of this, he quickly caught up with the giant bear.
When the giant bear saw Xiao Chen chasing after him, it dared not roar anymore and ran even faster.
But no matter how fast it is, it can never be faster than Xiao Chen.
"cut!"
Xiao Chen shouted softly, broke off a branch, and shot at the giant bear with a shake of his hand.
Snap!
The branch broke, and although the giant bear's defense was not broken, its body paused and a look of pain was revealed.
This was because Xiao Chen did not use his full strength, otherwise the internal energy he injected would be enough to break through the giant bear's defense and cause damage to it.
The main reason was that he was afraid of showing too much and making Scythe suspicious.
But even so, Scythe's eyes widened in shock.
Can a branch hurt a giant bear?
Bang bang bang.
After Xiao Chen caught up with the giant bear, he punched it several times.
Although his fist was very small compared to the giant bear, the giant bear was knocked away by his powerful punch.
Its huge body smashed heavily into a tree, and it spat out a mouthful of blood.
"roar……"
The giant bear fell to the ground, showing a look of fear, and struggled to get up.
"well……"
Xiao Chen sighed inwardly, and in order to prevent the sickle from noticing anything, he had to pretend to fight.
Otherwise, the bear would have died long ago.
Just when he was about to ask Chi Feng and Hua Youque to come up and help besiege the dead giant bear... Scythe fainted.
This made Xiao Chen breathe a sigh of relief, as he finally didn't have to act anymore.
"It's time to end it."
Xiao Chen looked at the giant bear and said something.
"roar……"
The giant bear climbed up, apparently realizing something, and rushed towards Xiao Chen.
"go!"
Xiao Chen shouted softly, and the long sword seemed to be pulled up by something and pierced into the giant bear's forehead.
puff.
The long sword was half-penetrated, and the giant bear's forward movement suddenly stopped and it fell to the ground.
"This big head... the sword is halfway in and hasn't come out yet."
Xiao Chen muttered and walked forward slowly.
"Is there something under this bear's heart?"
Chi Feng and Hua Youque also came over and looked at the giant bear's corpse.
"Well, you two look for it."
Xiao Chen nodded.
“Why us?”
Chi Feng and Hua Youque said at the same time.
"Because I have to save that guy, otherwise I won't be able to hold on for long."
Xiao Chen pointed at the sickle and said.
"good."
Hua Youque nodded, drew his sword, and began to rip open the belly.
Xiao Chen came to the sickle, took his pulse briefly, took out a healing holy product and stuffed it into his mouth.
"You are lucky to have met me. Otherwise, you would have died from your injuries if not killed by a bear."
Xiao Chen shook his head, took out another blue potion, and poured it on the wound of the sickle.
He had multiple wounds on his body, with his skin and flesh rolled up, looking somewhat horrifying.
However, with the help of the blue potion, the wound healed quickly.
“Found it.”
Just as Xiao Chen was treating the sickle, Hua Youque's voice was heard.
Xiao Chen turned his head and saw that he had an irregularly shaped object the size of a ping-pong ball in his hand.
"What is this? What is it used for?"
Chi Feng was also looking at it and asked curiously.
"Here, rinse it off."
Xiao Chen took out a few bottles of water, threw them to Hua Youque, and continued the treatment.
Hua Youque simply cleaned the crystal core in his hand, revealing its original appearance.
Like a... stone?
"Are you sure this isn't a heart stone?"
Hua Youque looked strange.
"Do you have a heart stone?"
Chifeng asked curiously.
"Heart stones don't usually occur..."
Xiao Chen came over, took the crystal core, and looked at it for a few seconds. It really looked like a stone.
However, this stone, no, this crystal core is milky white and looks more like an ordinary stone.
"The sickle is said to be very useful... What is it? Can it be used as medicine or something like that?"
Hua Youque thought of something and asked.
"Probably not."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"I can feel a faint energy on this crystal core..."
He felt it as soon as he started.
This surprised him a little. Why would there be such a thing inside the bear's body?
The bear is so powerful just because of the crystal core?
He thought of a lot.
"energy?"
Hua Youque and Chi Feng were surprised.
"Yes, energy."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"It's like... a crystal of energy."
"Hmm? It is said that there are also such strange beasts in the depths of Scarlet Cloud Realm..."
Chi Feng frowned, thinking of something.
"However, I have never seen it... because that place is very dangerous. My master won't let me go there, saying that with my strength, I will die if I go in."
"It seems that this is not unique to this place..."
Xiao Chen nodded. Since this secret realm was occupied by the Dragon Emperor, it must be extraordinary.
He felt that the Scarlet Cloud Realm could not compare to this place.
The [Dragon Emperor] inheritance is too awesome. No matter how awesome Patriarch Chi Yun is, he can never be more awesome than the Dragon Emperor.
"The energy in here is not small."
Xiao Chen felt it carefully and said again.
Although the energy here is very weak for him, it is only for him...
For Hua Jin, if the energy here can be absorbed, it will be enough to reach a higher level.
If you can break through a small realm, then there will definitely be no problem.
Although breaking through a small realm may not sound impressive, for most ancient martial artists, a small realm is equivalent to several years or even more than ten years of hard training.
This is the norm in the ancient martial arts world.
“Ahem…”
At this moment, Scythe also woke up and made a coughing sound.
"Ask him. It seems that he knows something about this place."
Xiao Chen looked at the sickle and said.
"Um."
Hua Youque and Chifeng nodded.
"Ahem... is it dead?"
Scythe looked at the giant bear's corpse and felt as if he had escaped death.
"Well, it's dead. We killed it under siege."
Xiao Chen nodded.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Chi Feng and Hua Youque were startled, then they reacted.
Xiao Chen asked them to find the crystal core, and his hands were covered in blood... Was it to make Scythe believe it?
"Well...thank you for saving my life."
Scythe looked at Chifeng and Hua Youque and expressed his gratitude.
"It's nothing, just a little help."
Xiao Chen shook his head and spread out his palms.
"This is what you found under the bear's heart... the crystal core you mentioned."
"There is energy in here. We can absorb it slowly to make us stronger..."
Scythe's eyes lit up as he introduced.
"oh?"
Xiao Chen's heart moved, it seemed that his guess was true.
"My injury..."
Suddenly, the sickle discovered something and made a surprised sound.
He found that the wounds on his body had closed and were no longer bleeding.
He didn't forget how serious his previous injury was.
"Oh, I treated you... Fortunately, I know a little bit about medicine, otherwise you would be dead."
Xiao Chen smiled.
“…”
Sickle looked at Xiao Chen. Does he know something about medicine?
You are too modest.
"Sickle, how much do you know about this forest?"
Xiao Chen sat down casually and asked.
"Hmm? You know me?"
Scythe frowned slightly, it seemed like he had never introduced himself.
"Oh, you are the genius of the Southwest Branch. I have seen you before at the Pillar."
Xiao Chen said casually.
