Chapter 143

Although I guessed that the silhouette was Gu Hongying, the impact of seeing it with my own eyes was still more shocking than my guess.

Facing Gu Hongying’s obviously inhuman state, the first thought that came to Yu Tu’s mind was—Didn’t they say that Yingying can only be a human forever?

Why did he suddenly become half human, half white?

At Gu Hongying's feet, the Nian beast, which was about the size of a cat, curled up guiltily. The single horn on its head was dim and gray.

Special Nian beasts are rare, and most of them are evil. After being harmed by a special Nian beast, all kinds of "mischief" will happen to you, such as losing all your hair overnight, changing the color of your fur, or suddenly becoming very fat or very thin... But no matter what kind of change it is, it will automatically disappear after seven days.

A special Nian beast with a benign nature is extremely rare. If this rare Nian beast has no ill will towards the people it encounters, but the person is injured by its powerful horn, the limit will still be seven days, but unexpected changes will occur.

There are very few records like this, and each of the few examples is different. For someone like Gu Hongying... Yu Tu looked closely at the feathers that covered his face, which contained a little bit of power, and made a bold guess—

Although Gu Hongying will always be a human, the essence of his soul will always bear the indelible mark of Bai Ze. Could the power of the special horn of the Nian beast be the manifestation of his soul essence?

Yu Tu even wanted to pluck two of Gu Hongying's feathers to study them.

Although he thought so, Yu Tu's body and the vest did not move. He suddenly changed from a human to a non-human species, which was completely beyond the normal range. Gu Hongying might need some time to calm down.

Yu Tu considerately blocked Gu Hongying's escape route, leaving him enough time to buffer himself.

At least ten minutes later, the pair of fluffy wings slowly spread to the sides, revealing Gu Hongying's face, which looked hopeless: "Senior... I don't seem to be a human anymore."

I've never heard that if you get injured by the Nian Beast while catching it, you can change species?

Yu Tu didn't know what to say now, but he had a strong feeling that Gu Hongying's "Seven-day Limited-time Experience Card for Shirazeh Skin" would most likely be included in the next update by Tian Yan. Since the day Gu Hongying received the acceptance letter, most of his growth experience has been clearly recorded in the comics, so, well, this time won't be a big deal, right?

Gu Hongying, who had no idea about the existence of comics, grabbed the corner of his head, squinted his eyes and asked pitifully: "Can I change back?"

"It's a special effect brought by a special Nian Beast with a good nature." Buyehou slightly lowered his eyelashes. Bai Ze's mysterious and elegant temperament combined with Gu Hongying's mournful aura was awkward and funny no matter how he looked at it. He was afraid that he would laugh too hard and ruin his character. "This will only last for seven days."

The two large wings behind Gu Hongying flapped helplessly twice, and he wailed, "How can I face people in this state?"

Yu Tu walked forward a few steps with the vest of Buyehou on his head, touched his crooked corner, and sensed the energy needed to forcibly offset the "special effects" of the past seven days. Yu Tu... Yu Tu silently withdrew his hand.

This is too expensive!

It takes one third of the energy of a vortex!

Yu Tu still has half of his second energy vortex left!

I'm sorry.

Yu Tu put away his aching conscience.

Apart from changing his appearance, the special effects did not cause any damage to his body, so just think of it as a cosplay that does not require props.

As Buyehou withdrew his hand, Gu Hongying asked hopefully, "Can you change me back?"

"It's just a temporary change in appearance. It doesn't affect my health." Gu Hongying heard Buyehou say, "It's fun to experience a different self."

Gu Hongying wanted to say something else, but suddenly he felt the ground shaking violently, as if a mountain was shaking in the distance.

"The black panther is still there!" Gu Hongying turned his head abruptly, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes. He couldn't bear the embarrassment any more. He had to keep doing this for another seven days anyway, so he might as well die sooner rather than later. "Senior, I'll go over and take a look first!"

He had not run a few steps when he suddenly let out a terrifying scream. Yu Tu used the flashlight of his mobile phone to scan over and saw Gu Hongying standing there, holding his tail and spinning in pain, with tears coming out naturally.

"Ahhh——hiss——" Gu Hongying's voice was filled with disbelief, "How come this tail still feels pain?!"

He didn't even feel his tail sweeping beneath his feet!

Gu Hongying grabbed his tail with his right hand and carried it on his shoulder. He folded the pair of large wings behind him as much as possible. The wings suddenly appeared when he was embarrassed and nervous. He would not make them disappear, but could only make sure that they would not become a burden as much as possible.

After spinning and jumping for several times, the tail finally didn't hurt so much. Gu Hongying tilted his head and heard a heavy muffled sound of "dong". The horn on his head pierced through the tree trunk.

Gu Hongying: QAQ

“Tu Tu!” He struggled with his teeth and claws bared, “My horn is stuck, please help me pull it out!!!”

…

After a lot of chaos, they finally arrived at the edge of the forest, a jagged edge.

The lake, which had been drained of water, had expanded irregularly by more than ten meters. The large rocks and half of the broken bridge that were visible before were now nowhere to be seen.

From time to time, there was a 360-degree attack from the rotten mud. On the lake bottom that had been dug into a mess, there were two figures covered in mud rolling around.

The scene before him was so shocking that Gu Hongying loosened his grip, and the tail on his shoulder passed over his waist, fell to the ground with a "thump", and landed in a small muddy beach.

The two oversized mud balls that were fighting each other at the bottom of the lake separated. The figure of the one on the left, even though covered with mud, seemed a little fuzzy. The fuzzy mud ball leaned down, which was a prelude to the beast's preparation for an attack. It pressed its claws on the bottom of the lake and leaped into the air. However, it did not pounce on the enemy that had been fighting with it for a long time. Instead, it turned in mid-air without any leverage and suddenly pounced in the direction of Gu Hongying!

All this happened in a flash, and the rapidly enlarged figure was reflected in Gu Hongying's blue pupils. At the critical moment, he suddenly had a strange feeling.

The wings behind Gu Hongying suddenly spread out, and he dodged the big ball of mud that was flying towards him with an incredibly light posture. He pulled out his muddy tail subconsciously. The tail that would make him scream in pain if stepped on was now more powerful than any weapon. When the tail hit the big ball of mud that was flying towards him, there was almost silence, but the vaguely ethereal body in the mud ball turned into green smoke in an instant, and the mud without support fell from the sky with a crackling sound, like a silent rain.

The beautiful wings were spread out, glowing white in the silent night sky. For a moment, Gu Hongying no longer looked like Gu Hongying, but like an unknown stranger.

But soon, this strange feeling disappeared, because after the crisis was over, Gu Hongying began to open up to new things:

"Wow! I can actually fly!"

This is different from the flying talisman and the hovering talisman which are difficult to make and require support. This one actually uses his wings to fly!

An idea suddenly occurred to Gu Hongying: the species changes in the past seven days didn’t seem so bad.

The evil beast that rushed over disappeared between heaven and earth. Another oversized mud ball in the lake finally climbed up to the shore in a wolf-like manner. After cleaning off the mud on its body, it could be seen that it was a black, strong leopard.

"Brother, what kind of species are you? Why can't I tell?" The black leopard said gruffly, "Do you need to charge up your ultimate move after transformation?"

After receiving the distress signal, he teleported here instantly. At that time, the evil beast was chasing the human. He asked the human to run far away and fought with the evil beast himself. However, within half an hour, the human came back by himself and easily beat the evil beast to pieces with one blow of his tail!

Even though he had already exhausted most of the evil beast's strength, it was not so easy to defeat it!

The black leopard bared its teeth and felt the pain in the places where it was hit. If he had known that the brother who asked for help had a big move, he would have just kited him instead of rushing in!

"I really am a human." Gu Hongying controlled his wings and landed on the ground crookedly. "This is a special effect of the special Nian beast."

"The wings and horns are so cool!" Black Panther said with envy, eager to try, "Can you let the special year beast try it on me?"

Gu Hongying pointed at the little Nian beast that had abandoned him after seeing the Buyehou and said, "How about you discuss this with it?"

Black Panther looked over and his eyes widened into bells: "Fuck! It's you!"

There was some distance between Yu Tu's real body and his vest, so it was very certain that the leopard was not looking at his vest, but his real body.

Yu Tu also thought the leopard looked familiar, but he was sure he had never seen one before: "Do you know me?"

"Although I don't know your name, I know your face!" The black panther cackles, a good panther laughs like a duck, "You are very famous in our family!"

He almost rolled over on the ground with laughter: "You sent my cousin to the zoo for a few months, don't you remember?"

"In one word - never!" He raised his leopard paw, "Thank you for being willing to teach my cousin a lesson. My name is Bao Shengshi. Can we be friends?"

Yu Tu: “…Ah?”

Gu Hongying, who overheard this bizarre friendship application, said: "...Ah?"

"If you don't object, I'll take it as your consent!" A faint light flashed, and the black panther on the ground turned into a 1.9-meter-tall, almost 2-meter-tall man. If it weren't for his slightly immature face, it would be hard to believe that he was just an adult. Bao Shengshi grabbed Yu Tu's arm and walked forward 10 to 20 meters, then asked in a loud voice that he had tried his best to suppress, "Is the person standing in the woods behind you your elder?"

He was talking about the Never-Sleeping Marquis.

Yu Tu: “Should it be…?”

"How come you don't know your own elders?" Leopard Lion muttered in a low voice (but still very loud), "I heard from Bai Shuang from the Snake Clan that your elders would randomly check on the younger ones to see how well they are learning knowledge. The knowledge points they asked about were beyond the syllabus, so difficult!"

When Yu Tu recalled the memories from a few months ago, he actually had the illusion that he was in another world.

"Let's make a deal, my friend." Bao Shengshi said, "Please don't punish me for memorizing knowledge points, elders."
