I can bless thousands of magical powers.

Chapter 191 Tracking
A huge mandrill head rolled to the ground.

Then the second one, the third one...

Zhang Yuan did not chase after the fleeing mandrill, but first killed the seriously injured guys who fell to the ground one by one.

No matter how thick the fur of these mandrills are, or how hard their bones are, they cannot withstand the attack of the Red Blood Knife.

Their corpses gave off black smoke, which instantly rotted away and turned into pus and blood that seeped into the soil.

roar~
Suddenly, a mandrill with an iron arrow stuck in its head staggered up from the ground.

There was a low growl coming from his throat.

However, this mandrill's eyes were dull and its consciousness had collapsed. It looked more like a zombie.

Zhang Yuan's eyes fixed, and he immediately rushed forward and chopped off its head with a knife.

This mandrill was the first one shot and killed by Zhang Yuan.

Even though he didn't get any hint about the source at that time, he knew things were not simple.

As expected, this guy can "come back to life from the dead", and deserves the title of the mountain monster, which is incomparable to ordinary wild beasts.

Ordinary weapons are obviously unable to completely kill mandrills.

Perhaps using the Blood Burning Technique would be effective.

However, burning qi and blood is undoubtedly a big test for Zhang Yuan's continuously depleted qi and blood.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Yuan decisively gave up the idea of ​​obtaining the source material.

Use the Red Blood Knife to kill the enemy directly.

In fact, there is a price to pay for using this magical weapon.

The price is Zhang Yuan’s blood!

However, this time he has been fighting with the Red Blood Sword until now, and not a single drop of blood has been sucked away by this magical weapon.

Zhang Yuan speculated that it was because the Red Blood Sword had drained the blood of a fourth-level strongman.

Or it could be the result of his long-term cultivation of this magical weapon.

But no matter which possibility it is, Zhang Yuan believes that such "benefits" are limited, just like his own qi and blood value, once consumed, it needs to be replenished.

Otherwise, when it’s used up, we still have to draw it from him!

Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, Zhang Yuan took a long breath, and then sacrificed the bear corpse that had been abandoned by the mandrill.

The bear carcass was lost and then recovered.

But there were more torn wounds on the epidermis.

It was undoubtedly the work of the mandrills.

Zhang Yuan lost interest in taking it home.

Just offer a sacrifice and get rid of the problem.

Ignoring the information flashing in his vision, Zhang Yuan looked towards the mountains and forests ahead.

That's the direction the mandrill escaped!

In fact, the fleeing mandrills never left his sight.

The next moment, Zhang Yuan rushed forward like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, he rushed into the dense woods.

More than two miles away from him, five mandrills were fleeing.

Including the white-faced mandrill.

Their speed is not actually very fast, but they are very familiar with the surrounding environment. Sometimes they lie on the ground and run using their hands and feet, and sometimes they grab vines and jump onto the treetops, avoiding obstacles in their way flexibly.

However, these mountain monsters were completely unaware that, just a hundred steps away in the air behind them, a crow with black feathers and red eyes was quietly following them and monitoring their every move!
And Zhang Yuan, who was further away, locked onto these fleeing guys through the perspective of the Red-Eyed Crow.

In this way, the five mandrills chased each other through the dense forest, crossed a ridge, and finally climbed a steep mountain and entered a hidden cave!
Zhang Yuan's pursuit stopped in front of the ridge.

No more chasing.

The cave that the mandrills had just entered was obviously their nest.

Zhang Yuan was going to wipe them out at once, but he had no intention of doing it right away.

Because Zhang Yuan's blood and energy levels have dropped seriously after a series of fierce battles.

Currently it is less than one-third.

Qi and blood value is the foundation of Zhang Yuan's strength, just like a magician's blue bar. Once it is exhausted, not only will he be unable to display the extraordinary abilities of the host, but even his own strength will fall to the bottom.

In order to ensure safety, he needs to restore his Qi and blood value to at least half!
As the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Zhang Yuan found a safe place and sat down to rest.

He calmly dismantled the iron bow he had retrieved earlier and put it back into the quiver along with the fine iron arrows.

Then hide in the nearby bushes.

Then, Zhang Yuan took out half a root of wild ginseng, cut it into slices with a dagger, and put it into his mouth to chew slowly.

The bitter ginseng liquid flowed down the throat into the stomach, and the medicinal properties began to spread immediately.

His Qi and blood values ​​also gradually recovered.

Ever since he understood the role of Qi and blood values, Zhang Yuan has been looking for ways to quickly restore Qi and blood.

The best method known at present is to take Qi and Blood Pills!
Zhang Yuan has experienced the effects of this precious elixir more than once and can be said to like it very much.

However, Qi and Blood Pills are too rare.

He now has no channels to obtain this kind of medicine.

In addition to Qi and Blood Pills, Zhang Yuan has also tried taking various medicinal herbs.

Medicinal herbs that replenish blood and qi.

Ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, Chinese angelica, Polygonum multiflorum, Millettia reticulata…

The results showed that wild ginseng was the most effective.

Especially ginseng from previous years.

Although wild ginseng's effect in restoring qi and blood is not as strong as that of qi and blood pills, it is easy to obtain and its effect lasts for a relatively long time, making it a good low-end substitute.

So Zhang Yuan always carries one or half a ginseng root with him.

He chewed a piece every once in a while and ate some of the dry food he brought with him.

As for the mandrill's nest, it is monitored by the red-eyed crow.

By evening, Zhang Yuan's Qi and blood levels had recovered by more than three quarters.

He stood up suddenly and rushed towards the mountain.

In this operation, Zhang Yuan left behind all the weight including the iron-framed bow.

Travel light to the Mandrill Lair!

The red-eyed crow flew over his head and was the first to sneak into the rather hidden cave.

After a moment, it flew out again.

But this short period of less than ten breaths was enough for Zhang Yuan to see clearly the situation inside the cave.

Just as he rushed into the cave, he ran head-on into a yellow-faced mandrill.

This mandrill was probably out to keep watch. Perhaps the sudden appearance of the Red-eyed Crow aroused their vigilance, and as a result, they happened to come face to face with Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan, who had gained six times the agility, accelerated in an instant and crashed into the mandrill. At the moment of collision, the red blood knife in his left hand fiercely stabbed into the latter's neck.

The extremely sharp magic weapon pierced through the mandrill's throat in one go!

The ferocious creature trembled suddenly, and its arms, which had just been opened, fell down.

Its limbs twitched involuntarily and its sturdy body shrank and contracted at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was as if all the strength and essence in the body had been completely devoured by the Red Blood Sword!

In just three or four breaths, the yellow-faced mandrill had turned into ashes.

It is very similar to the scene of Zhang Yuan’s sacrifice.

roar~
An angry roar came from the depths of the cave.

The mandrill inside had obviously discovered the arrival of the evil star! —
I had to go out for something today and came back late. I'm sorry for the lack of an update that I'll make up for later.
