The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 3117 Each Person's Trump Card

When Qian Ying took the Blood-Exploding Pill, he naturally thought about the current situation. Even if he escaped, there would be no good way to restore his blood, which would naturally affect his strength.

However, he then thought of something else: the honey he obtained in the Crimson Bee region. This honey could not only improve his strength, but also had a gentle effect, benefiting his body and repairing hidden injuries, among other things.

It can be said that consuming honey can help restore blood and energy if the body is anemic. The question is, how quickly or slowly does the honey from red bees replenish blood and energy?

However, there is always hope, no matter what.

That's why he resolutely took the Bloodthirst Pill. This choice, made in a short period of time, was the most advantageous option he could choose in a moment of quick thinking.

Zhou Zixing naturally made the same choice. Of course, they were all seasoned veterans, and when it came to the final showdown, they chose the path that best suited them.

However, the pill he took was a different kind of pill, a berserk pill, which contained a large amount of innate power. After taking it, it would release a large amount of innate power instantly, causing his whole body to be filled with innate power. If it was not released, his meridians would be broken and his dantian would be destroyed.

With this abundant innate power, their strength can be nearly doubled. Both their speed and attack power are boosted in a short period of time.

However, the side effects of this berserk pill are obvious: the temporary surge of innate power can damage the meridians. If precious pills are not used to nourish and replenish them afterward, the meridians may not be repaired, leading to a gradual decline in strength and other problems that may affect cultivation.

Zhou Zixing already possessed Bloodlust Pills, though like Berserk Pills, they were rare and difficult to obtain. However, as a veteran martial artist at the second level of the Innate Realm, acquiring a few Berserk Pills and Bloodlust Pills was not a problem.

However, he happened to have a pill on hand that could nourish and repair the meridians after using the Berserk Pill. This was a pill he obtained at the same time as the Berserk Pill.

Therefore, he would naturally choose the Berserk Pill, since after taking it, he could repair his damaged meridians in a short time without affecting his breakthrough to the third level of the Innate Realm.

After all, he is now nearing the end of his lifespan, the year of his death. He can clearly feel that his body has reached a point of lifelessness. Perhaps if he doesn't have a great opportunity to break through to the third level of the Innate Realm, he might just pass away within the next year or two.

This is a situation where one's time is running out, and there's no way to avoid death.

Therefore, if one uses the Bloodthirst Pill but has no recovery pills, and is trapped in this valley with no way to get out in time, or even unable to get out, the recovery process will naturally be delayed for a long time.

He's already nearing the end of his life and doesn't have much time left. If his recovery time is prolonged, he might just have to wait to die.

Therefore, even in this emergency, the most advantageous path was still chosen.

This also shows that, aside from the fact that both of them are naturally skilled, they also possess a great deal of wisdom and adaptability in life.

After consuming the pills, the two wielded their innate short swords, repelling the attacking beasts. Then, with the burst of energy from the pills, they swiftly dashed to the left and right. The dozen or so beasts that had been attacking them, their targets vanishing in an instant, immediately turned to intercept them, only to find that the two had easily escaped to the left and right, causing them to pause in their pursuit.

But this brief pause allowed the two old men to escape the pursuit. After all, the strength they were unleashing now was twice as great as before, so both their speed and power were naturally much greater.

A dozen or so strange beasts turned around to give chase, but they also wanted to see which person they were chasing. This caused a brief moment of chaos, which relieved the two of their worries and allowed them to quickly reach the area blocked by the other strange beasts.

Qian Ying didn't make any unnecessary movements. She directly activated her innate domain, bringing the strange beast blocking the road into it. Then, she recklessly used her innate short sword to slash and hack away!

The innate short sword already had a relatively wide blade, so it could be used as both a sword and a knife for slashing. Thus, amidst the rapid clanging sounds, a piece of the beast's scales was cleaved open, and then the sword pierced through, causing the innate beast to roar in pain.

Qian Ying released her domain, and the strange beast immediately dodged, revealing a space that she could pass through.

Behind him, other strange beasts attacked, but all were blocked by his innate domain. With the increase in strength, his control and use of the domain, as well as his defense, became very high.

"This is it!" Instantly activate acceleration; once past this point, they can escape the encirclement of the alien beasts.

From taking the Bloodthirst Pill to shaking off the siege of the alien beasts, then flashing into the area surrounded by the alien beasts, attacking one of them, wounding it, and revealing a retreat route, although it seemed like a long time had passed, it was actually less than ten seconds.

In the blink of an eye, they were almost out of there!

On the other side, Zhou Zixing, having increased his strength, also accelerated towards the outer perimeter. He used his innate domain to control a strange beast and launched a rapid attack, injuring it in a short time. Once he cleared the area he occupied, he could reveal an escape route.

Unfortunately, Zhou Zixing had a good plan, and he ran very fast!
Unfortunately, his strength was no match for Qian Ying's. After all, Zhou Zixing was only at the peak of the second stage of the Innate Realm. Even if he took the Berserk Pill to double his strength, he would only reach the third stage of the Innate Realm.

However, with this level of strength, both in terms of speed and power, it is naturally much weaker.

So after shaking off the siege of those beasts, he wanted to injure one of them in a very short time, but compared to Qian Ying, he was still somewhat inferior.

"Clang, clang, clang..." A series of attacks, launched in one go, lasted nearly twenty moves before the scales of the strange beast were finally broken. But at this moment, more than a dozen strange beasts frantically crashed into his domain barrier, and he not only had to attack, but also had to control these beasts, causing his innate power in his dantian to be consumed rapidly.

Previously, he and Qian Ying worked together, focusing their strength on attacking the beasts while Qian Ying handled all the defenses, thus minimizing the consumption of his innate power. But now he had to deal with everything alone. Although he had taken the Berserk Pill, he was still alarmed by the depletion of his innate power in his dantian.

He quickly took out a pill to replenish his innate power. However, unexpectedly, the moment he took the pill, several more strange beasts joined the frenzied attack. His attention was momentarily diverted, and instantly, his entire innate domain collapsed!
