Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 15: I love eating eggs the most!
Ancient tree branches intertwine to form a deep green dome, and the dappled sunlight filtering through dances on the surface of the scarlet stone pillars.

On the stone pillar's base, which is covered in bluish-gray moss, eight silver-black wolf shadows are circling the totem reliefs surrounding the pillar.

When the fur on the back of their necks stands up against the light, it reveals the blue veins surging beneath their skin, like the veins of grass leaves filled with venom. Their ferocious teeth protrude from their large mouths, carrying a stench that tears the air apart.

This is a group of utterly ferocious creatures, with absolutely no cuteness whatsoever.

But their size and ferocity filled the eyes that coveted them with satisfaction.

The soft crack of a branch breaking made the wolves turn around simultaneously.

A gaunt figure leaped out of the woods, then twirled and swayed his hips at the calves, making a series of provocative and exaggerated gestures before quickly disappearing back into the forest.

quiet!
The eight wolves stared at each other, their eyes revealing mocking smiles.

The alpha wolf howled, and the eight wolves dispersed, closing in on the location of the gaunt figure from different directions. However, they did not chase after him directly, but instead howled and made loud noises all around.

In the forest, Cha Nan and Yun Zhonghe lay on a tree, watching the wolf hunters who had not been lured in, and both showed bitter expressions.

"Was your provocative action just now not sarcastic enough?"

"Why don't you go over there, take off your pants, and poop in front of him?" Cha Nan really treated Yun Zhonghe like a consumable, since he wouldn't die anyway.

Yun Zhonghe's bitter expression deepened as he swooped down from the treetop, intending to make his provocation even more obvious.

Bang bang bang!
A surge of air erupted as the wolf hunters opened their mouths wide and spat out powerful air cannons!
If the power of Mian Youyou's attack was only equivalent to Da Wu's splitting palm, then the air cannons spewed out by the wolf hunters were at least as powerful as Wu Santong's splitting palm. Even from a distance of several meters, they shook the tree branches and even broke some of the thinner branches.

Yun Zhonghe hadn't even untied his belt when he was caught off guard and forced to flee in panic. Fortunately, he was good at light footwork and managed to dodge most of the impact by weaving back and forth through the forest and using tree trunks for leverage. Otherwise, he would have had to return to his team to heal and wait to be resurrected shortly afterward.

As the branches, leaves, and trunks shook violently, the pre-set traps were all triggered, failing to achieve their intended effect.

“It’s not that simple!”

"Yun Zhonghe, execute Plan B!" Cha Nan shouted.

Yun Zhonghe, who had been fleeing, had no choice but to turn around and swoop down toward a smaller wolf, gripping his iron claws tightly and striking the wolf’s back hard.

Awooo!

The wolf howled, and an even more terrifying shockwave swept in.

The alpha wolf among the eight hunting wolves opened its mouth wide and spat out an air sphere with a relatively large solid shape.

Wherever the air balloon passed, tree trunks snapped and all kinds of grass broke.

Spirit Bomb is a magical beast skill similar to Air Cannon, but with higher attack power and damage. If Air Cannon is equivalent to ordinary air-splitting palm force, then Spirit Bomb has the palm force of a first-class, powerful palm technique like Vajra Palm.

However, the charging time is relatively long. In a one-on-one situation, Yun Zhonghe's agility and mobility would make it easy for him to dodge.

However, wolves move in packs. When the alpha wolf releases its energy blast, the other wolves either pounce or use ordinary skills to interfere, trying to compress Yun Zhonghe's escape space as much as possible, so that he can fully withstand the impact of the energy blast.

"What a formidable wolf hunter!"

"As expected, these magical beasts are quite intelligent; they shouldn't be underestimated!" Cha Nan secretly observed, then took a detour and approached the stone pillar radiating red light.

After consuming a damp Palu egg and experiencing a significant boost in internal energy, Cha Nan did consider joining forces with Guo Fu and Yun Zhonghe to hunt down Mian Youyou and Pipi Chicken. Their meat was likely a good tonic, at least more nourishing than ginseng less than ten years old. However, after careful consideration, she temporarily restrained her impulse. These low-level magical beasts mostly traveled in packs and were quite intelligent. Indiscriminate killing could anger the entire clan, leading to targeted attacks and pursuit, which would be disastrous. The hard-won situation would return to its previous state of poverty.

After all, the stronghold only means that Chanan can use the Palu terminal as the core to gradually open up the situation and use the Palu to work and farm. It does not mean that the stronghold is a safe zone. If a large number of phantom beasts are really angered, and there are not enough powerful friendly phantom beasts to protect them, then they will really be blocked by the phantom beasts and killed.

Ouch!

With a wolf howl, several hunting wolves turned around and saw Cha Nan reaching towards the stone pillar.

In a short while, the wolf hunters' eyes turned red.

Cha Nan also discovered that behind the red stone pillar, there were three yellowish-brown Palu eggs. It seemed that the hunting wolves were using the energy of the red stone pillar to incubate these Palu eggs.

Without any hesitation, Cha Nan reached out and put the three Palu Eggs into his backpack, then simultaneously touched the stone pillar.

A surge of scorching energy rushed into Cha Nan's body. In Cha Nan's vision, the red stone pillar began to change color, and it seemed that some kind of connection had been formed between him and the stone pillar.

Bang bang bang!
An air cannon shot came, hitting Cha Nan in the shoulder. Although her internal energy instinctively reacted and she managed to block the blow at the point of impact, she was still in excruciating pain, and her joints seemed to be dislocated.

Without much thought, Cha Nan activated the teleportation point and instantly traversed the dense forest, returning to the base.

Inside the stronghold, Cha Nan's body suddenly landed, his arms wrapped around his shoulders, covered in cold sweat, his condition extremely low.

However, although the stronghold is not an absolutely safe zone, it has the effect of slowly restoring health and mana. As beams of blue light shot out from the Palu terminal and swept across the body, the pain began to subside, and reason gradually returned.

Looking at the team list, Yun Zhonghe's avatar was indeed grayed out, clearly indicating that he had been killed by the wolf hunters, taking the blame for Cha Nan.

Very good, now that Yun Zhonghe is dead, we can no longer hold a grudge against Cha Nan!

He raised his hand and summoned Guo Fu.

As soon as Guo Fu opened her eyes, she saw Cha Nan looking disheveled. She rushed over to help her up, but accidentally pulled on Cha Nan's injured arm, causing Cha Nan to wince in pain again.

"Are you alright?" Guo Fu asked, her eyes wide. At that moment, Cha Nan inexplicably saw a shadow of Guo Xiang grown up in her.

"It's alright, I'll be fine after a while. Go get me something to eat!" With that, Cha Nan generously pulled out a Wolf Hunter Palu Egg.

Although we didn't catch the wolf, we got a Palu egg, so it wasn't a complete loss.

"Great! We get to eat eggs again!"

"I love eating eggs!" Guo Fu said happily.

The same location, different Palu eggs, top-quality ingredients, often only require the most ordinary cooking methods.

As the delicious Paru eggs were roasted directly in the fire, emitting an enticing aroma of meat, Cha Nan and Guo Fu couldn't wait to crack open the shells and start sharing the delicious food.

The taste of the Wolf Hunter Palu Egg was quite different from the damp Palu Eggs he had obtained before. It was closer to the texture of meat when it was eaten. At the same time, it did not stimulate the body's vital energy very strongly, and the increase in internal strength was limited. However, Cha Nan could feel that his muscles and bones were becoming firmer, and his meridians were also more resilient than before he ate this Palu Egg.

It seems that different types of Palut eggs provide different benefits when consumed.
