Chapter 14: Treasure, Make Up for Innate Deficiencies

"Go over and have a look."

Yang Chen hurriedly walked over there.

Soon, the two came close to the stone beast and were surprised to find that the flowing golden liquid disappeared as soon as it touched the ground, as if it had completely merged into the earth.

Yang Chen hurriedly straightened it, letting the wound face upwards, to prevent more golden liquid from flowing out and being wasted.

As we got closer, the fragrance became stronger.

Just by smelling it, I feel relaxed all over, my pores dilated, as if all the fatigue has gone away.

It was the first time for the two of them to encounter such a thing in their lives, so they were both stunned.

“Is this… edible?”

Peng Min swallowed.

"This should be considered the blood of this stone beast."

Yang Chen hesitated: "I don't know what will happen if I eat the blood of the strange beast directly."

But it is absolutely impossible for me to throw it away, but I am reluctant to sell it.

After all, this is the first time I have seen such a treasure in my life.

"Let me help you test the poison." Peng Min said while swallowing saliva.

It was as if all the cells in her body were urging her to drink the golden liquid quickly, as if drinking it would bring some benefits.

"I'll drink less, and you're an Evolver. If anything happens to me, you'll be more capable of saving me."

As she spoke, she couldn't wait to pick up the stone monster's body.

Yang Chen hesitated for a moment, but in the end he didn’t stop it. He just reminded: “Drink less. Even if it’s not poisonous, it’s hard for an ordinary person like you to bear too much. This kind of golden blood should contain energy.”

"Yeah, I know the severity."

Peng Min nodded.

The body of this stone monster is quite heavy. Although its diameter is only more than 30 centimeters, its weight is probably 20 to 30 kilograms.

Much heavier than many solid stones of equal volume.

She lifted it up with all her strength, put her mouth to the wound and took a small sip.

Suddenly, a sweet smell with a strong stone smell filled the mouth.

And when this liquid goes down the stomach, it turns into a magical energy that spreads throughout the body.

She was shocked to find that as this magical energy spread throughout her limbs and bones, her physical strength, endurance, etc. seemed to be increasing rapidly.

Not only her physical strength and endurance, she even felt that her physique and power seemed to be improving rapidly.

This is her own feeling.

And in Yang Chen's vision, Peng Min's skinny body was actually becoming plump at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The body, which was originally thin and petite due to long-term malnutrition, is growing rapidly.

For example, skinny arms quickly became fuller, and it was obvious that flesh and blood were growing.

For example, his messy and dry hair was quickly becoming silky.

The most exaggerated thing is that some of the scars on her arms were falling off at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving behind fair and delicate skin.

"How can this be?!"

Both were stunned.

This change process lasted for more than ten minutes.

Peng Min, who was originally only about 1.5 meters tall, had grown to 1.6 meters tall when the transformation was over.

Her already tattered and tight clothes suddenly looked even smaller.

As she grew older, some of the dirt on her skin fell off, and the exposed skin appeared white and delicate.

It's as if even the skin has changed.

Although she was already 19 years old, she looked like a shriveled little girl of 15 or 16 years old due to long-term malnutrition.

And now she truly looks like a 19-year-old girl.

It's not just the height that changes, but the whole body, all the parts that should develop have developed, so that the clothes appear tighter.

This shows the magic of this golden liquid.

"strangeness……"

After the transformation was complete, Peng Min couldn't help but reveal a puzzled look.

"What's wrong?" Yang Chen asked hurriedly, worried about the possible sequelae.

Because the change is too drastic and somewhat beyond common sense.

"This golden liquid doesn't seem to smell good anymore."

Peng Min sniffed the golden liquid inside the wound of the stone beast in his hand: "It doesn't have the same smell as before."

"Not fragrant anymore? I think it still smells good."

Yang Chen took the body of the stone beast and sniffed it again: "It's still very fragrant, no different from before. Could it be that you are full? Or is this the so-called medicinal saturation, and this golden liquid has no effect on you?"

"This should be."

Peng Min said: "I feel like there is still some that has not been digested, but my body has not changed at all. The remaining golden liquid was not digested directly, but remained in my stomach in the form of high-energy food, and did not improve my physique and strength."

She couldn't wait to drink it, and it seemed as if every cell in her body was urging her to drink it.

But now I don’t have that feeling at all, I can’t even smell the fragrance.

Yang Chen was a little surprised: "Could it be that the main effect of this golden liquid is to make up for malnutrition... or to make up for congenital deficiencies?" "It's very likely."

Peng Min nodded: "You should drink some soon, too. I feel very comfortable now, without any discomfort."

Yang Chen nodded, and immediately drank some of the golden liquid.

Sure enough, as the liquid poured into the abdomen, a magical force quickly spread out.

During this process, he felt that his physical strength and endurance were rapidly improving, and his flesh and blood were growing at an almost perceptible speed.

A magical feeling of being completed arises.

He could feel that his physique and strength had improved a little, but this improvement was not a direct enhancement, but the result of returning to normal after his congenital deficiencies were made up.

It can be seen that his originally skinny body is quickly becoming fuller and stronger.

In addition, many hidden injuries in the body were being repaired at a noticeable speed.

Finally, his body was saturated, and the excess golden liquid remained in the body without being directly digested.

At the same time, like Peng Min, he could no longer smell that special fragrance.

"This is amazing."

Yang Chen exclaimed.

"You seem to have become much stronger." Peng Min said happily.

"You've also grown a lot taller, and become more beautiful." Yang Chen also smiled.

"Has it become more beautiful?" Peng Min immediately showed a worried look. For the people in the wilderness, becoming more beautiful is not a good thing.

However, when he thought that Yang Chen was already an evolver, no one would dare to make moves on him.

Moreover, now that she has become more beautiful, she will be more worthy of Yang Chen.

Thinking of this, she became happy again: "What should we do with the remaining gold liquid? This kind of thing doesn't seem easy to collect, and we don't have anything decent to hold it."

"I can refine this energy directly."

Yang Chen said: "Although it won't continue to strengthen me, it can be used to improve my abilities."

He tried it just now and found that the golden liquid left in his stomach was the same as ordinary food. As long as his energy was consumed, it would be digested and replenished.

"That's good."

Peng Min smiled and said, "Don't you need crystallized bone marrow? Perhaps you can trade it. There should be an evolver willing to pay a high price for it."

"It's too expensive, and it will easily arouse the greed of others. If the price is too low, I won't accept it. If the price is too high, I'm afraid it will be snatched away."

As Yang Chen spoke, an idea suddenly occurred to him: “Hu Zhou might not have gone far yet, let’s catch up with him.”

Because Hu Zhou's ability is not offensive, and the two have already had two transactions, they have a foundation of trust.

He felt more at ease doing business with the other party.

The most important thing is that he can be sure that there must be more crystallized bone marrow in Hu Zhou's body.

Although he didn't know why Hu Zhou didn't use up the crystallized bone marrow directly, it didn't matter.

"That's right, let's catch up."

Peng Min said, "Give me the things, and you are responsible for guarding."

As she spoke, she took a piece of animal skin and wrapped up the body of the stone monster to prevent other evolvers from seeing it and becoming greedy.

Although the body of the stone monster was not light, after her congenital deficiency was compensated, it was not a big problem for her to run while carrying a weight of twenty or thirty kilograms.

The two of them immediately changed direction and chased in the direction where Hu Zhou's team left.

It didn't take long, just over half an hour, and the two saw Hu Zhou's team ahead from afar.

"Sir, someone is catching up with us, and it seems that they are deliberately chasing us."

A man on guard warned him.

Hu Zhou immediately looked back vigilantly, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.

"Is it that Yang Chen? No, why are those two people so different?"

He was a little confused.

Judging from their aura, he was very sure that the two people were Yang Chen and the other two.

But how come these two people, who looked so skinny not long ago, seemed like different people after just a short period of time?

The man was tall and strong, and although the woman's beauty was hard to tell due to the thick mud, her figure was absolutely top-notch.

"Sir, do you want to stop it?" One of the subordinates asked, and ordered his men to draw their bows and arrows and stand on guard.

"Don't be nervous, he's an acquaintance, I don't sense any ill will."

Hu Zhou was getting a little excited. If nothing unexpected happened, Yang Chen must have gotten something good and wanted to trade with him again.

Transactions between evolvers are actually risky.

But he and Yang Chen had already had two transactions, so they had a certain basis of trust.

Finally, Yang Chen brought Peng Min to 30 meters away and grinned: "Hu Zhou, do you know this thing?"

Peng Min displayed the corpse of the stone beast at the right time.

On the opposite side, Hu Zhou was just curious at first, but the moment he saw the corpse of the stone monster, especially after seeing the faint golden liquid in it, he thought of the changes in Yang Chen and the others, and his face suddenly changed.

"What a fool! A mountain god in his infancy?!"

He screamed strangely: "You killed a juvenile mountain spirit?!"
