Chapter 4

In the astonished eyes of Wuhou and Du Qiuzhuo.

Chen Yanjun stopped every step, and slowly approached the Gu carving.

So slow that he could clearly hear his own heartbeat, and the squirming of his dry mouth and saliva.

In front of you, there is a huge leopard body with mottled yellow stripes, sharp hooked claws, high raised bones, and a pair of red vertical pupils reflecting a terrifying cold light...

Chen Yanjun had goosebumps.

However, as far as a foot away from Gu Diao, the monster didn't even look at him.

Seeing that Du Qiuzhuo was about to lose his hold, Chen Yanjun took out the Bone Grass from the inventory with a thought.

Swallow the grass whole and chew it.

The main effect of Bone Congealing Grass is to wash the marrow and raise Qi. It is said that it can improve talent, but it actually speeds up Qi condensation.

Grass juice is slightly bitter and burns in the heart, driving the viscera and blood vessels of the whole body to condense.

Add some panels, and there is an instant response——

[Mortal +1, progress 71/100! 】

Gu Diao's yellow pupils gathered slightly, then turned his head suddenly, looking in Chen Yanjun's direction.

It noticed something strange...

The air froze instantly.

Gu carvings like to eat the spiritual energy of the dantian of practitioners, so they are extremely sensitive to the quality of the root bones.

In its view, a person endowed with the five elements can condense bones and gather energy just by devouring a low-level spiritual grass.

This is completely different from normal people condensing Qi, it seems to have changed Gengu's talent...

The mediocre bones seem to hide the most delicious delicacies in the world in the tightly seamed shells.

The Gu Eagle, who was trapped by the anaconda poison and the anaconda bondage, suddenly became excited!
It suddenly spread its wings, drawing a gust of black evil wind, grabbed Chen Yanjun from the air, and flapped its wings on the ground.

Chen Yanjun almost fainted.

Fortunately, Gu Diao likes to eat living root bones or dantian, and the fan of this wing is very gentle.

With the cry of a baby, the Gu Eagle suddenly ran away, raised its left claw, and tore off the poisonous anaconda wrapped around its long beak.

Waving the long beak, turning to the right, a beak pierced into Chen Yanjun's lower abdomen.

Ok……

no taste.

Where did the aura go?

Feeling cheated, the Gu Eagle let out a cry, raised its beak and pecked again, wanting to savor it carefully.

Du Qiuzhuo was still pinned down by the Gu carving's right paw, unable to move.

"Chen Yanjun!"

She didn't understand why Chen Yanjun saved her in this way...

"Hurry up!"

Chen Yanjun cried out in pain.

Immediately, he took out the other two healing pills from the inventory and swallowed them.

While healing the wound in his lower abdomen, he gained another bonus point.

[Mortal +1, progress 72/100! 】

[Mortal +1, progress 73/100! 】

In an instant, Gu Diao's eyes froze.

Its attention focused on Chen Yanjun's lower abdomen again.

This time, it finally saw clearly.

This person has a very high conversion rate of aura, and his talent is absolutely transcendent...

But no matter how much it sucks with its long beak, it can't suck the aura.

It seems that this son's dantian is not in the lower abdomen, or even in this body, but somewhere else!
The praying mantis catches the cicada and the oriole follows... Du Qiuzhuo finally comprehends Chen Yanjun's plan.

Taking advantage of Gu Diao's doubts about Chen Yanjun's talent, she gritted her teeth and tore the left shoulder bone, and forcibly broke free from the carving claws.

One turned over and jumped into the air, slapped Fu Yu, and took out a sword——

A sword slashed towards Gu Eagle's neck!
Du Qiuzhuo is a seventh-rank beast master, and a spiritual pressure with the same level as a Gu carving, which means that the sword is sharp enough.

Although her strength is much inferior to martial arts, but as a rare genius beast master, she can accurately find the weakest joint of the Gu carving's back neck, facing the weakest joint, and slashed down with a single sword.

brush--

The sword blade, not stained with a drop of blood, stopped abruptly an inch above Chen Yanjun's neck!

With the cold wind rustling, the willow leaves fluttered.

The huge carved head rolled to the ground.

The dark blue animal blood gushed out endlessly.

Chen Yanjun heaved a sigh of relief.

As a wise man in the previous life said, the best hunters often appear in the form of ingredients.

Daughter did not waste his adventurous plans...

however!
At this moment, the headless gu carving is not dead.

Just when everyone was astonished and relaxed——

A gust of evil wind hit.

The willows will not stop shouting!

Gu Diao took advantage of the situation and let out a very sharp baby cry, his breath suddenly surged, grabbed the head on the ground, and flapped his wings.

Unexpectedly, Du Qiuzhuo, Chen Yanjun, and three spirit beasts flew away.

Immediately, he leaped away, plunged into the Wei River, and disappeared.

Seeing this, all the Marquis coaxed them to the riverside, beating gongs and drums, making a huge commotion, looking for the headless gu carving.

The evil wind came suddenly, and the willow forest subsided.

Chen Yanjun covered his mouth and vomited blood.

There was severe pain in the lower abdomen, but fortunately the injury was not serious.

The plan worked, but not entirely.

He originally wanted to hunt strange beasts with Du Qiuzhuo...

As expected of strange beasts from mountains and seas, they can act separately!

He felt that there was something wrong with this Gu sculpture. Just now, it suddenly ran away and tore off the poisonous anaconda, and now it is running around without a head. It is too unreasonable, as if someone is controlling it from behind...

"lighter."

Qiu Zhuo's healing spirit beast Lark is currently stitching up his lower abdominal wound.

The double-headed poisonous python whose body was torn off by the gu eagle actually connected itself together...

Xue Xiao picked up Du Qiuzhuo.

Blood flowed out from the girl's torn left shoulder, soaking into half of the white clothes.

Even so, while being shocked, that beautiful, refined, and slightly round face always had the coldness of a fairy cut off from the world.

"Three years ago, you saved my mother like this?"

Du Qiuzhuo asked suddenly.

She felt that maybe there were strange beasts around at that time.

Chen Yanjun was very comfortable being sucked by the lark, and said calmly:

"Almost, I'll save your mother first, but in the end it was your mother who saved me."

Du Qiuzhuo was stunned for a moment, frowned and stared at Chen Yanjun.

In the past, Chen Yanjun always had a sullen and gentle appearance, but secretly he often got together with her dandy brother.

In order to maintain his image, Chen Yanjun would not admit to being rescued by his mother in front of her, but teamed up with his mother to lie to her.

Today, this dog man seems to have suddenly changed into a different person...

Did he suddenly wake up after being poisoned?

Or, mother saw the right person?

If Chen Yanjun hadn't thought of a way today, she would probably be buried here, at least her dantian would not be preserved.

This is qualitatively different from saving an eighth-rank beast master who fell into the water.

Chen Yanjun did not take credit for it.

This kind of humility is often a manifestation of self-confidence, and this is the first time she has seen it in Chen Yanjun.

It seems to be a kind of elder's demeanor...

Du Qiuzhuo was stunned for a while, but finally didn't say anything.

She ignored her shoulder injury and jumped off Xue Xiao's back.

He came to Chen Yanjun and squatted down, and wiped a drop of dark blue animal blood from his neck.

The pretty tip of her nose sniffed, and she frowned slightly.

So he used short silver needles to collect as much animal blood as possible from Chen Yanjun's neck, and kept it in a wooden box for keeping animals or making medicine.

"This is a tamed beast."

She dropped this sentence coldly.

Chen Yan felt a chill in his heart, since it was a tamed beast, it probably wasn't a coincidence, and probably came after him again.

"Is someone trying to kill me, or is someone trying to kill you?"

Du Qiuzhuo shook his head, noncommittal, and asked Chen Yanjun:

"How did you make the Gu Eagle eat your uncondensed bones?"

Chen Yanjun smiled and said:
"It's a bit of a trick, but it's possible. I also have a talent for cultivation."

"That's the best."

Seeing that Chen Yanjun was fine, Du Qiuzhuo suddenly remembered something, and said:

"I just hope you don't say anything messy in public again."

Only then did Chen Yanjun remember being a father, and suddenly said seriously:
"When I enter the product, I will marry your mother, which is good for all of us."

Chen Yanjun said this because he was worried that there would be some ambiguous contact between the two parties, which would cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Like today, no one can bear to be murdered repeatedly during a big festival.

Du Qiuzhuo's pretty face froze, a little stunned.

Waiting for me to enter the product... It's easy to say, as if I can really enter the product.

In her opinion, it is a good thing for Chen Yanjun to marry his mother, and she doesn't want to see her mother supporting the family business alone, working hard until old age, it is always good to have someone she likes to accompany her.

She herself doesn't like weak men.

In other words, she doesn't like those boring affairs between men and women.

This time, Chen Yanjun no longer entangled with her, it was indeed as he said...it was a good thing for everyone.

What surprised her was that Chen Yanjun said it so calmly and firmly.

Perhaps, it has something to do with this series of murders.

Thinking this way, she reminded Chen Yanjun:

"Even if my mother is not the first marriage, not everyone can marry, at least my great-grandfather will not agree."

"I'll find a way."

Chen Yanjun said calmly.

……

After Chen Yanjun and Du Qiuzhuo repelled the Gu carvings, disciples of Danlin Academy surrounded them one after another.

These students have not gone far.

They are afraid of death, but they are not afraid of going to the theater, and they can help if they ensure their own safety.

"Are you all right!"

"Unexpectedly, there are strange beasts in the city!"

"It's unbelievable...Senior Du can control three spirit beasts and defeat the same-level Gu Eagle!"

Du Qiuzhuo ignored these juniors.

Although she is only 19 years old, she entered the Imperial College at the age of 12 and practiced for seven years, so she is indeed a senior.

Soon, Jiang Miao who escaped also came back.

On the way, he "called" Assistant Teacher Fang who was rushing back to Xianyang Gudu.

"Where are the Gu carvings!"

Fang Qunyu looked around with regret.

Caring for Gu sculptures is more urgent than caring for students.

Chen Yanjun said:

"Beheaded and hid in the river."

Fang Qunyu then squatted down, reached out and wiped some blue blood stains on Chen Yanjun's neck.

The tip of the tongue smacked the blue blood on the fingertips.

"What about that end?"

"The Gu carving took it away by itself."

"Ok?"

Fang Qunyu was astonished, and suddenly said:
"I just said how could there be strange beasts in Chang'an City, these are probably artificially domesticated Gu sculptures."

"Looking at your ordinary appearance... where do you come from so many enemies?"

Chen Yanjun wasn't angry either. Assistant Professor Fang always looked at people without looking at faces. He was ordinary and had nothing wrong with him.

"There is no enemy, it is my own problem."

Fang Qunyu stood up, patted her legs and paced, regretting:
"It's a pity, I shouldn't have gone to find Fan Yu."

Chen Yanjun asked curiously:

"What happened to Fan Yu?"

Fang Qunyu said calmly:

"It's nothing. He was not as lucky as you. He was poisoned and died halfway. I sent someone to send the body to the academy."

There was a burst of consternation and lamentation among the onlookers.

Some female students even cried aloud...

It's not that he likes Fan Yu, it's just that he's scared.

Some female students from well-to-do families don't usually get blood on their hands, and they thought that people would not die in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

As everyone knows, to the world outside Chang'an City, today's accident is just a trivial matter.

Chen Yanjun shook his head in silence.

I thought, could it be that I misunderstood my fellow villagers?
It seems that there is a mastermind behind the scenes!
Things gradually became complicated, and he had to keep a low profile and become stronger as soon as possible.

Fang Qunyu suddenly remembered something, stopped to stare at Chen Yanjun, and asked:
"Gu Diao likes to eat the aura of Dantian with good talent, why would he attack you?"

Chen Yanjun said calmly:

"Maybe someone is trying to kill me."

"Forget it, I'll help you find it."

With that said, Fang Qunyu turned and went to the river.

A Zha Mengzi jumped into the river and disappeared on the bank, the splash of water was extremely small.

Jiang Miao raised her forehead and spread her hands towards Chen Yanjun.

"It's good that you are all right."

The voice just fell!

The prison guard finally came.

Came on a pegasus.

The two delinquents were dressed in black clothes with white patterns and black veils to cover their faces.

The prison chief is in charge of all sorts of evil and evil affairs. The death rate is high when performing official duties.

In other words, bad people.

Bad people generally have high-level seals engraved on their faces to prevent escape.

Therefore, many unscrupulous people wear curtains and black veils when performing official duties.

The aura and strength of the same level of cultivation are stronger than those of ordinary cultivators, making people feel like a strange beast and shudder.

Du Qiuzhuo took a look, one of the two villains was the fifth rank and the other was the seventh rank.

The two of them had white-patterned flying horses embroidered on their chests, and they belonged to the Wuma Division of the Prison Division, not the Yinhu Division where her aunt belonged.

This made her somewhat disappointed.

The five-rank bad person didn't land, and rode directly on the Weishui River, looking for Gu carvings.

The seventh-rank delinquents came to Liulin, and while treating Chen Yanjun and Du Qiuzhuo's injuries, they asked about the general situation.

"Murder is not within the jurisdiction of the Prison Superintendent. It is recommended to report to the officials. However, it is absolutely extraordinary to seriously injure a seventh-rank alien beast. If the Prison Superintendent can catch the Gu sculpture, the two of you can go to the Silou to collect the reward."

Chen Yanjun breathed a sigh of relief.

He has no intention of reporting to officials, nor does he trust officials in feudal society.

He's going to take care of it himself.

This takes a little while.

Right now...he just wanted to go home.
