The Three Kingdoms Descend: Reincarnation of a Star General, I am the God-like Lü Bu

Chapter 48 Purple Steed Upgrade

"Is this the Beast Essence?"

"I heard it's a special item that monsters from the new world are bound to drop."

Lu Shenxiao took the Sandworm Beast Core from Jinghong's hand.

He pondered for a moment.

"Beast essence can be expelled."

"But it requires the assistance of certain advanced building features to achieve this."

Lü Shenxiao simply couldn't build a structure of that caliber in a short period of time.

This means that once you consume this Sandworm Beast Essence, you cannot replace it for a very long time.

"The sandworm's properties are quite good."

"But in the end, it's just a regular elite monster of purple quality."

Lu Shenxiao shook his head.

"If one consumes it, the resulting specialization will most likely be something as low-level as 'corrosion' or 'sand-boring'."

Some of it was wasted.

"Let's wait until we encounter truly powerful and higher-quality monsters before considering it."

Lu Shenxiao made up his mind.

He casually tossed the sandworm beast core to the ground.

"Since I'm not eating it."

"Then you'll have to get it for free."

A thought suddenly occurred to him.

Accompanied by a clear neighing of a horse.

A magnificent warhorse, its coat a deep purplish-red, appeared out of nowhere atop the sand dunes.

It was the same steed from the Western Regions that he tamed in the "Yellow Turban Rebellion" instance—the Purple Steed!

The Purple Steed appeared.

He then moved very intimately to Lu Shenxiao's side.

It used its enormous head to repeatedly nudge Lü Shenxiao's chest, snorting loudly.

Lu Shenxiao reached out and stroked the smooth mane of the purple horse twice.

"When I first got you, you were indeed a great help to me."

"What a pity."

He sighed.

"Your current strength is starting to fall behind my pace."

Zi Yi seemed to understand her master's words.

It lowered its head and let out a low hum.

"Don't rush."

"Didn't I bring you some tonics?"

Lu Shenxiao held the sandworm beast essence in his hand to Zixing's mouth.

Without any hesitation, Zixing swallowed the golden "elixir" in one gulp.

boom!

The moment it swallowed the beast's essence.

A dazzling light suddenly burst forth from Zixing's body!

Its powerful muscles, as if alive, were constantly writhing and bulging.

A moment later.

The light dissipated.

The purple steed raised its head and let out a long, piercing neigh that seemed to split the clouds and shatter rocks!

Lu Shenxiao immediately brought up the attribute panel of Zixing.

"The combat strength index has increased by 120 points?"

Watch the values ​​change on the panel.

Lu Shenxiao raised an eyebrow, his brow furrowing slightly.

"That's a significant improvement."

"It seems there aren't as many as I expected."

Lu Shenxiao fed the other seven Sandworm Beast Cores to Zi Yi in turn.

As each beast essence was swallowed...

The aura emanating from Zixing grew increasingly powerful.

After the last beast essence was completely digested.

Lu Shenxiao checked its attributes again.

"Eight Beast Cores."

"A total of 780 points of combat power index have been added."

He touched his chin.

"The first one increased by 120 points, but the effect of the subsequent ones gradually decreases?"

Lu Shenxiao noticed something amiss.

"It seems that the quality of the Purple Star is still a bit low."

"Hopefully, after feeding it the beast essence that has been obtained along the way, it can break through nine thousand points."

Lu Shenxiao shook his head, mounted his horse, and prepared to set off.

the other side.

Mingyuexi also summoned her own white horse, a rare and precious steed of purple quality.

Only Jinghong remained standing there, motionless.

She shook her head and let out an extremely helpless sigh.

"oops."

"It's really difficult for both of you to travel on horseback."

"I do not have a mount."

Upon hearing this...

Mingyuexi was stunned for a moment.

"You don't have a mount?"

"With all your tricks up your sleeve, how come you don't even have a mount?!"

Faced with Mingyuexi's questioning.

Jinghong, however, looked completely innocent.

"Miss Ming is right."

"I am just a newbie player who has just awakened and hasn't even run the beginner dungeons yet."

She blinked.

"It's not like Miss Ming, who has a vice-leader brother."

"Where can I find such a valuable item as a mount token?"

Lu Shenxiao sat on the back of the purple steed.

"I've gotten quite a few mount tokens from dungeons before."

Lu Shenxiao spoke.

"but."

"To raise funds for the city's construction, I sold all those tokens to the Great Han Alliance."

He shrugged.

"I don't have any extra mounts right now."

Hearing what Lü Shenxiao said.

Jinghong immediately closed her folding fan and put on a pitiful look.

"What should we do then?"

Her large, watery phoenix eyes stared intently at Lü Shenxiao.

"This vast sea of ​​sand."

"If I were to walk there, I'm afraid I'd be dried out by the sun before I even got there."

As she spoke, Jinghong took two steps toward Lü Shenxiao with remarkable ease.

"It seems so."

"I have no choice but to make do and ride with General Shenxiao."

The true dagger is revealed in the final, breathtaking scene!

These words were spoken.

Mingyuexi immediately objected.

"No!"

"If you really can't walk anymore."

"Then let's ride together on the same horse!"

Jinghong stopped in her tracks.

Seeing Mingyuexi's alarmed expression, the smile in her eyes deepened.

"Why."

"Since Miss Ming has extended such a warm invitation..."

Jinghong sighed.

"Then I have no choice but to agree."

She turned around and walked towards Mingyuexi's white horse.

Seeing this, Mingyuexi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She prepared to reach out and help Jinghong mount the horse.

Just then.

Jinghong's previously calm expression suddenly changed!

"Sandworms!"

She pointed directly behind Ming Yuexi and Lü Shenxiao!

His tone was filled with fear.

Mingyue instinctively turned her head to look behind her.

however.

Behind me, there was nothing but endless yellow sand!

"Where is it————"

Mingyue was about to ask a question.

A very light whooshing sound rang out behind her.

Mingyue suddenly turned her head.

All that could be seen was Jinghong, who had been standing on the ground.

At this moment, he had already nimbly flipped and leaped onto the back of the purple horse!

and.

She also very naturally reached out and hugged Lü Shenxiao from behind!

"you!"

Mingyuexi's eyes widened instantly.

She then realized that she had been tricked!

"childish!"

Mingyuexi never expected that someone would resort to such a childish trick.

Jinghong looked at the furious Mingyuexi, her voice revealing a smug satisfaction at her successful scheme.

"That's really childish for Miss Ming."

"But for a little girl like me, it's just right."

Before he could finish speaking...

They didn't give Mingyuexi any chance to react or lash out.

Jinghong stretched out the hand that was holding the folding fan.

A crisp slap landed on Zixing's enormous buttocks.

"drive!"

The purple steed let out a long neigh.

It exerted its strength suddenly.

It transformed into a streak of purplish-red lightning and shot out in an instant!
