Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 123 Moon Scythe Demon + Nine Yin White Bone Claw, is it worth it?
After about an hour, Chanan obtained the two bomb birds he wanted, a male and a female, and then traded them to the breeding ranch.

The next step is a simple process of laying and incubating eggs.

In her spare time, Cha Nan first tidied up the stronghold, instructing the phantom beasts to clean up the messy areas, and then began to practice her skills.

Cheng Ying was also called over to spar with him.

Cheng Ying's strength is undoubtedly quite good. Perhaps when she first graduated sixteen years ago, she was only slightly stronger than Guo Fu, but now... Cheng Ying can be considered a first-rate expert.

Her talent wasn't actually that great, but she excelled through hard work and diligent study, unlike Guo Fu, who lacked both talent and effort.

Even with divine skills like the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms and the Nine Yin Manual, Cha Nan often found himself at a disadvantage when fighting her normally.

"No need to hold back, let's all go all out. What we want is the feeling of being on the brink of life and death!" Cha Nan said, seeing that Cheng Ying always held back at the last moment.

They're all in the stronghold now, so even if they die, they can be resurrected without worrying about losing the supplies in their backpacks. Of course, Cha Nan is going to fight for real.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Ying naturally granted Cha Nan's wish. During the twenty-seventh move of her exchange with Cha Nan, she switched from the Falling Flower Divine Sword Palm to the Jade Flute Sword Technique, and with a single move that resounded across the pavilion, she pierced Cha Nan's throat with the jade flute in her palm.

Cha Nan, having recovered, didn't even bother to stuff the things that had fallen to the ground back into her backpack. She said to Cheng Ying, "Auntie! Let's try again. I was careless just now and didn't dodge!"

This wasn't entirely a denial. After all, with the blessing of the Cloud Deer, he could be considered a pseudo-Wind and Cloud Martial Body, and his speed and reaction were quite good. If he were fully focused, it was impossible for him not to dodge.

They resumed their attack, and this time Cha Nan fought Cheng Ying for forty moves before dying under Cheng Ying's Azure Wave Palm technique.

Cheng Ying had mastered this basic palm technique of Peach Blossom Island to perfection. Cha Nan, knowing its moves and energy flow, underestimated it and suffered a great loss as a result.

This also served as a reminder to Cha Nan that he could not underestimate the heroes of the world just because he had read a few martial arts novels and thought he had mastered a lot of secret information.

He was able to defeat Liang Xiao because although Liang Xiao was exceptionally talented, he was actually somewhat fragile and confused inside, and he also had various advantages and benefits, so it was not a fair fight.

If facing those resolute, ruthless, and morally bankrupt tyrants, Cha Nan's methods would hardly have the same effect.

After being resurrected, they continued to fight. Cha Nan became much more cautious and stopped using tricks, instead using the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms to deal with Cheng Ying. After wearing down Cheng Ying for more than seventy moves, Cha Nan's internal energy was exhausted, and Cheng Ying seized the opportunity to strike his vital point.

This time, it was Cha Nan who failed to properly calculate the consumption of his internal energy.

The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms are very powerful, but they also consume a lot of internal energy.

Although Cha Nan's Heavenly Water Divine Skill could cultivate extremely powerful internal energy, he was still far from opening up the Ren and Du meridians, communicating the internal and external microcosmic and macrocosmic orbits, and reaching the point where the true energy in his body was inexhaustible. Therefore, using the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms too much still depleted his internal energy.

Taking this opportunity, Cha Nan summarized her experience: when fighting in the future, she should have two pieces of Palu ore in her mouth.

This helps with rapid respiration!
Conserving internal resources? Or waging a strategic business war?
Only a poor person would conserve their internal energy!
The wealthy are directly subjected to firepower!
If Cha Nan knew the Tathagata Palm technique, he would guarantee that every time he made a move, he would start with a big punch.

Three days and two nights have passed in the world of fantasy beasts, and Cha Nan's martial arts training has made great progress again.

Similarly, Cha Nan has bred over a hundred Bombardier Birds, which should be enough.

After leaving Cheng Ying, who had worked hard as a sparring partner for the past few days, to rest at the base, Cha Nan, along with Cloud Deer, Punk Lizard, Monarch Melopa, Kakarot, and Lucky Guo Fu, led thirty Bomb Birds on a grand expedition.

Riding the Cloud Sea Deer ahead, Cha Nan scattered wheat along the way.

Most mythical beasts love to eat the wheat grown in this wheat field, and these bomb birds are no exception.

With wheat as bait, they didn't think about returning to their base and followed Cha Nan.

As for the wheat in the stronghold, why don't they eat it directly?

Of course, Cha Nan wouldn't allow it!

Within the stronghold, Cha Nan held greater authority. He set rules for the magical beasts, and they would instinctively obey them and not misbehave.

After entering the depths of the mountains and forests, Cha Nan put away the Cloud Sea Deer and summoned the Punk Lizard, allowing the Punk Lizard to activate its partner skill to search for the dungeon.

The mine that Cha Nan and Guo Jing cleared out last time could also be considered a kind of underground city.

However, it's a very low-end one, and it doesn't contain any BOSS-level mythical beasts.

In the real dungeons, not only will many mythical beasts gather, but there is also a high probability that a BOSS will appear in the deepest part.

Punk Lizard's partner skills are reliable!

It lay on the ground sniffing left and right, then kept running in one direction. Cha Nan used his lightness skill to follow it, with a flock of bomb birds flying behind them. The few that fell behind didn't need to be cared for; they would catch up on their own, and if they couldn't catch up... they would return to their base on their own.

After running for about half an hour, the Punk Lizard stopped at the foot of a mountain and pointed to a large rock not far away.

Chanan put away the punk lizard and summoned the monarch, Melupa.

Monarch Melupa moved to the side and unleashed a devastating charge, sending rocks flying and revealing the hidden, deep entrance to the dungeon. The entrance to the underground city had appeared!
It is clear that there were many traces of human activity in this mountain forest.

They left behind mines, underground cities, and some urban ruins.

But they had all vanished without a trace.

For some reason, they left.

Cha Nan had encountered mysterious merchants, travelers, villagers, Palu poachers, Palu conservation groups, and other similar characters in previous games, but he had never encountered them in World of Warcraft.

It's unclear whether there are no other native humans in this fantasy world, or if the world is simply too vast and Cha Nan just hasn't encountered any yet.

Leading a flock of bombbirds into the cave entrance, and passing through a long tunnel, one enters an increasingly spacious underground space.

There are still some traces of human civilization architecture remaining here, but after the ravages of time and the destruction by the mythical beasts, very few of them are still largely intact.

Cha Nan rummaged through some broken wooden boxes in the corners of the rock walls, but they only contained rotten clothes and nothing worth collecting.

Further ahead, some more obvious Palu ore appears, and at the same time, mythical beasts also appear.

These were all low-level mythical beasts, so Cha Nan didn't make a move. Instead, he summoned Kakarot and sent it to level up.

As for capturing them, Cha Nan has lost interest. Unless they are not in the base, Cha Nan does not want to bother to capture them.

Will I miss out on some good keywords because of this?
Cha Nan just wants to say that the best way to fill up entries is still to catch cotton yogurt and breed it.

Of course, if you encounter a rare mythical beast that glows, you definitely won't miss it.

After passing through the first few levels of the underground city, as they went further in... the density of the mythical beasts began to increase, and hordes of burrowing rats rushed towards Cha Nan, clearly realizing that he was the culprit who had disturbed their peaceful lives.

Kakarot excels at close-range attacks but has a weakness in long-range area-of-effect damage.

At this point, Monarch Melopa was put in front as a meat shield, while several bomb birds flew out and began laying eggs on the heads of the burrowing rats.

These eggs, when they fell, were like tiny hand grenades, exploding on the spot and tearing the burrowing rats apart, causing them to burrow underground and escape.

"Bomb Bird Squad... Blow up this dungeon!" Cha Nan waved his hand, and the remaining bomb birds behind him flew out with strange cries.

As a result, all the mythical beasts in the dungeon were in big trouble!

A chill ran down my spine, and then a series of exploding eggs began to fall.

They continued bombarding the area until they reached the deepest part of the dungeon, where they encountered the gatekeeper boss.

A BOSS-level Moon Scythe Demon, standing three meters tall, with a rat-like face and wide ears, is entirely black, and has a long horn on its head shaped like a scythe, which is said to grow by absorbing moonlight.

Cha Nan paired it with Cotton Yoyo and Gale Falcon, so there are actually samples of Moon Scythe Demon in the stronghold, just not the BOSS stage.

Therefore, this Moon Scythe Demon is still very valuable to capture.

"Bomb Bird, charge!" Cha Nan waved his hand again.

The birds swarmed around and began raining down eggs on the Moon Scythe Demon.

The figure of the Moon Scythe Demon suddenly vanished into the darkness.

A moment later, he appeared beside Cha Nan and viciously clawed at Cha Nan's head, about to tear him to shreds.

Cha Nan's shield immediately lost most of its armor value. At the same time, Cha Nan used his movement technique to circle behind the Moon Scythe Demon, raised his hand and struck out with a palm. The roar of a dragon was heard, and the Moon Scythe Demon trembled, showing fear. It did not bother to pursue Cha Nan and retreated to a distance.

The Moon Scythe Demon is a dark-attribute mythical beast, and the dark attribute is countered by the dragon attribute, so it instinctively has some stress response to the sound of a dragon's roar.

"interesting!"

"We haven't actually used it in real combat yet since we created it. But now it seems that the Moon Scythe Demon is fast, has strong thrusting ability, and can hide in the dark. It's very suitable to be an assassin!" Cha Nan couldn't help but wonder if it would be worthwhile for the Moon Scythe Demon to learn the Nine Yin White Bone Claw.

After all, although the Nine Yin White Bone Claw is not as 'orthodox' as the Nine Yin Divine Claw, it can be mastered quickly and can be used in conjunction with some potent poisons during cultivation.

Like Zhou Zhiruo, who was originally only of second-rate strength, but after quickly mastering a part of the Nine Yin Manual and the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, she was able to exchange a few blows with Zhang Wuji.

While Zhang Wuji's actions certainly had a reason for releasing her, the fact that she could brave the Vajra Subduing Demon Formation with Zhang Wuji is enough to prove that her strength at that time was already quite high.

With this in mind, Cha Nan looked at the Moon Scythe Demon BOSS with even more anticipation.
The massive horde of bomb birds that were about to swarm forward and kill the Moon Scythe Demon was mostly stopped by Cha Nan, who only sent a small number to restrain it.
