Set a goal, and the system takes over the body.

"roar!"

The Iron-Eating Demon Bear missed its attack, let out a low growl, and stomped its hind legs on the ground, chasing after Qi Xiuyuan and pouncing again.

A foul-smelling wind blew in.

Qi Xiuyuan switched back and forth between ape, bird, and deer forms, using the green bamboo to dodge and weave through the forest, searching for an opportunity to strike.

But this demonic bear left no opening. As soon as he dared to get close, it would sweep and slap with its claws. Its claws were as sharp as knives, and its strength was ridiculously domineering.

If Qi Xiuyuan hadn't already mastered the Five Animal Fist, and his movements and strength hadn't reached a new level, he probably wouldn't have been able to dodge these continuous attacks.

"A great opportunity!"

Taking advantage of the moment when the demon bear missed its target, its front paws touched the ground, and its center of gravity shifted forward, Qi Xiuyuan abruptly stopped his retreating steps. He switched from deer form to ape form, his movements unpredictable as he closed in on the bear. He gathered divine finger energy at his fingertips and struck at the bear's side.

suddenly!

A crimson demonic power surged from the Iron-Eating Demon Bear's body, transforming into a thick, illusory arm that gripped Qi Xiuyuan's hand tightly.

Its fingers were only three inches away from the demon bear.

But it could not make any further progress.

At the same time, the Iron-Eating Demon Bear suddenly twisted its body, and its giant, millstone-like paw swept towards Qi Xiuyuan with a whistling sound.

Qi Xiuyuan immediately used his restrained arm as a pivot, exerted force with his waist and abdomen, and used the force to lift himself into the air.

The giant hand swept across his waist and abdomen, tearing off a piece of his clothing with a ripping sound.

Qi Xiuyuan's eyes lit up, and he raised his hand to slap the fluttering garment. With a burst of energy, the garment flew straight towards the demon bear, landing right on its eyes.

Taking advantage of the moment when the demon bear shook its head and swung its claws, Qi Xiuyuan quickly bent down, threw away the medicine sickle, and concentrated all of his divine finger strength into his fingers, striking the iron-eating demon bear's back hard.

The thick, black and white fur was piled up together, tough and hard, like a layer of crystal armor covering the demon bear.

Qi Xiuyuan pointed his finger at it, and felt that most of his finger strength was dissipated.

But a wisp of pure finger strength still managed to penetrate it.

Instantly, the crimson demonic power surging on the Iron-Eating Demon Bear's body seemed to have its source cut off, instantly dissipating, and the demonic power arm that had been condensed also vanished into thin air.

Qi Xiuyuan landed easily and then bounced back a full ten feet.

A mountain breeze blew through the bamboo forest, carrying a faint smell of blood and the fragrance of bamboo. Bamboo leaves fluttered and pattered against Qi Xiuyuan and the Iron-Eating Demon Bear.

The mountain wind also lifted the stray hairs on Qi Xiuyuan's forehead.

He slowly withdrew his right hand, which had been pointing out.

"As expected of the God-Sealing Finger, even with most of its power weakened by the fur, it still managed to seal this Iron-Eating Demon Bear!"

The Iron-Eating Demon Bear stood frozen in place, its gaping maw revealing two sharp fangs, completely immobile. Only its blood-red beastly eyes remained fixed on Qi Xiuyuan, their ferocity fully revealed.

Qi Xiuyuan remembered that the Iron-Eating Demon Bear's eyes should be normal black and white, but these bright red eyes always seemed a bit off.

It seemed like he had been provoked.

"Never mind, let's finish them off first!"

Qi Xiuyuan picked up the chipped medicine sickle, gathered his qi and blood, and swung it out fiercely.

"clang!!"

With a crisp snap, sparks flew, and the medicine sickle broke again, leaving not even a white mark on the Iron Demon Bear's fur.

"Such tough fur! No wonder it's a monster that specializes in eating metal!"

Qi Xiuyuan's gaze fell on the wounds on the demon bear's body, as well as its gaping, blood-red maw.

Turning around, he picked up an unbroken red-tasseled spear from the ground, lightly touched the green bamboo with his toes, and suddenly leaped two zhang high. Using the momentum of the fall, he gripped the spear shaft tightly with both hands and fiercely plunged it into the mouth of the iron-eating demon bear, Da Zhang.

"Pfft!"

The scalding demon blood gushed out instantly.

The Iron-Eating Demon Bear's eyes rolled back suddenly, but its body was sealed and it couldn't move. It could only let its demon blood gushed out of its mouth, accumulating into a large dark red puddle on the ground.

Finally, as its heart stopped beating completely, the seal on its blood and qi could no longer be maintained, and its huge bear body collapsed to the ground with a thud, shaking the ground and sending bamboo leaves flying everywhere.

"call……"

Qi Xiuyuan let out a long sigh of relief and shook his arm, which was numb from the shock.

"The first level of the God-Sealing Finger is very strong, but it is not without its drawbacks. First, it requires striking the enemy with finger force, not from a distance. Second, once the enemy's heart stops beating and blood and qi cease to circulate, the seal will automatically fail within three breaths."

"If someone could control their heartbeat, they could break the God-Sealing Finger. Fortunately, only I know this."

Not daring to delay any longer, Qi Xiuyuan rushed towards Shen Feiyi's direction.

Shen Feiyi had lost too much blood; her face was as pale as a sheet of paper, her lips were bloodless, and her breath was very weak. Her eyes could barely open a crack, and she could vaguely see someone approaching, but there was only a blurry black shadow, and she couldn't tell who it was at all.

Just like before, I could only see a blurry figure in the distance.

The shout of "Run!" that she had just uttered seemed to have exhausted all her strength.

At this moment, she couldn't squeeze out a single word.

Her eyelashes fluttered twice, then she closed them completely.

"When she was trapped in a deadly situation, she didn't cry for help, but instead told me to escape. This is probably one of the reasons why the original owner of this body couldn't forget her."

Qi Xiuyuan leaped up, clutching half a broken sickle in his hand, and swung it with all his might, instantly cleaving the thick bamboo in two.

He caught Shen Feiyi and landed steadily.

"The bamboo has pierced through her abdomen, causing excessive blood loss. If we pull out the bamboo directly, she will bleed uncontrollably and probably die on the spot. We must stop the bleeding while pulling out the bamboo. Moreover, given her current condition, she probably won't last more than fifteen minutes even if we don't pull out the bamboo."

Qi Xiuyuan did not have any hemostatic medicine on him.

He searched Shen Feiyi's body, thinking that since she had brought people into the mountains to hunt demons, she should at least have some first-aid pills on hand, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find even a single pill.

He then turned around and searched the bodies of several other disciples of the Overlord Spear Martial Arts School. After turning them over and over, he only found two Qi and Blood Pills.

"What the hell? Going into the mountains to hunt demons without even bringing any medicine? Or did you lose it somewhere during the fight?"

Qi Xiuyuan frowned and shook his head.

I don't have time to think about it in detail.

"Set a goal: revive Shen Feiyi!"

[Target detected: Revive Shen Feiyi]

[Method 1: Take her to the place where the purple heart fruit grows, pick some hemostatic herbs to stop her bleeding, then bring her back to the Green Mountain Pharmacy and give them to Hua Nan Weng for treatment. She can survive.]

[Method 2: Immediately send the patient to the Baqiang Martial Arts School for treatment; the patient may survive.]

Please select a method to complete the objective.

"The situation seems better than I expected. Since they can be saved, there's no need to rush back immediately, otherwise this trip would be in vain. Let's go pick some purple heart fruit first."

After tucking the two Qi and Blood Pills into his robes, Qi Xiuyuan turned back to Shen Feiyi's side, picked her up, and sped towards the depths of the mountains and forests.

As for those few disciples from the Overlord Spear Martial Arts School, they had long since died and could not be saved.

He quickly arrived at the shady spot, where some purple heart fruits hung scattered around, but he didn't even glance at them, his eyes scanning back and forth among the surrounding grass.

"Found it!"

Qi Xiuyuan gently laid Shen Feiyi on her side on the ground and picked a few hemostatic herbs.

The edges of these grass blades are covered with tiny, sharp thorns that prick you.

He didn't care about anything else, and rubbed the grass leaves vigorously with both hands, squeezing out a dark green juice and kneading it into a ball of grass paste.

Then.

He took a deep breath, gripped the green bamboo, and pulled it out sharply.

With a soft "poof".

The broken bamboo was pulled out, and blood gushed from the wound instantly.
