Chapter 83 Hungry Beast
Time always passes quickly, and before you know it, the night is already halfway through.
Ying yawned a little, said good night to Chen Tianfeng, rubbed her eyes, went into the tent, and lay down beside Paimeng. The sleeping little mascot seemed to have sensed something, and unconsciously came to Ying's fragrant and soft arms, hugged tightly, and from her appearance, you can tell that she must have fallen asleep with a beautiful dream tonight.
Chen Tianfeng added two sticks of firewood, glanced at the tent with the curtain door closed, hesitated for a moment, got up and walked to the river. After a while, he returned to the campfire, holding a bug about two knuckles long in his hand.
He found a stone, stretched out his left index finger, pressed the struggling bug on the stone, held the dagger in his right hand, took a breath, and the blade passed through the gap left by the arm armor, and scratched his left wrist!
Blood spilled and stained the blade.
Chen Tianfeng held the dagger upright, staring at the blood sliding from the tip of the knife and hitting the bug again.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
The bug was safe and sound, and its struggle was unabated.
Chen Tianfeng pursed his lips, casually wiped the blood off the dagger, and no longer imposed restrictions. He cut another knife on his healed left wrist and dripped blood on the struggling bug again.
The effect this time was immediate. The healthy and energetic bug was silent in an instant. The blood quietly fell on the stone, and the stone also quietly changed, with a faint sense of death.
——It was as if the stone was "killed" by the blood.
Chen Tianfeng's face twitched, and he carefully dealt with the bug, the stone and the remaining blood. Then he sat back by the campfire, sighed for a long time, and his expression was quite complicated.
Good news: He can finally control the toxicity in his blood, and he doesn't have to worry about the blood accidentally spilled causing irreparable damage.
Bad news: The "toxicity" in his blood is stronger, and the more "non-toxic" blood there is, the stronger the "toxicity" of the remaining blood is.
I wonder if I can find a bug to deliberately release some non-toxic blood every once in a while to double the toxicity of the blood in my body... There is no instinct to prompt me.
Chen Tianfeng thought about it and felt that it would be better not to take risks. What if he was so exhausted that he could release terrifying poison even when he took a breath? Then he would probably be treated like King Roto or Osel.
King Roto, an ancient dragon as long-lived as a mountain, was created by elemental crystals and carried the power and memories of the earth.
During the Demon War, Morax found a stone dragon buried deep underground. He felt deeply the pain of this ancient rock element creature that could not see, so he brought it back to the ground and added eyes to it.
This is the origin of King Roto. It stands shoulder to shoulder with the emperor, follows behind the emperor, fights with the emperor, and makes a great reputation and numerous military exploits.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. After the war, the Dragon King lost his mind due to [wear and tear] and fell into frenzy. He was eventually subdued by the Emperor and sealed under the Fulong Tree at the South Heaven Gate.
As for Osel, he was the [Vortex Demon] who attacked Liyue Harbor during the Demon God War. He was defeated by the Rock King Emperor and sealed under the Lonely Cloud Pavilion.
——It is said that the Lonely Cloud Pavilion was transformed from the huge rock spear thrown by the Rock King Emperor during the war.
"Eh..."
Chen Tianfeng sighed and actually understood what he guessed Zhongli and Venti did. If such a terrifying poison appeared in his home, the first thought should be to send this plague god away quickly, right?
No, if it can be killed without leaving any hidden dangers, it is better to kill it... So the two of them are still merciful... Or will there be a toxic explosion after I die?
So what am I now? A humanoid self-propelled nuclear bomb?
Chen Tianfeng grinned, stopped thinking about these, and began to test the next skill acquired instinctively.
He raised his right index finger, and the grayish-white [Qi] appeared. Then he pointed at a stone next to him. The grayish-white light beam swept out silently and swiftly, hitting the stone at a speed that could not be captured by the naked eye.
Completely silent, the stone turned grayish-white in the blink of an eye, and then weathered into a pile of broken sand. Even the small piece of grass next to the stone, which was already withered and yellow, was instantly broken and fell into a silent death.
Chen Tianfeng looked at his index finger, and then at the amazing results. For the first time, he didn't feel that his instinctive noise of hunger had been shouting, and even felt that it was somewhat pleasant.
It's good to be hungry. Just eat when you are hungry. It's just energy, easy to deal with. Not to mention other things, there are seven [Wu Xiang] on the continent of Teyvat!
Damn it! I eat eat eat eat eat!! Eat all the fucking things!!!
Chen Tianfeng grinned, not knowing whether it was an illusion, as if there was a grayish-white ferocious hungry beast behind him, greedily scanning everything that could be swallowed.
…
Mondstadt, where the wind rises.
It is said that the symbol of Mondstadt heroes, [Lionfang Knight] Vanessa, ascended to Sky Island - under a huge oak tree.
The best bard in the world gently plucked the strings of the harp, and the soft sound of the harp spread into the wind, making the night gentle.
Suddenly, the wind stopped for a moment, and the sound of the harp also stopped at this time.
Wendy put away the harp and looked at the golden-haired figure who suddenly appeared. Her tone was surprised and smiling: "Oh, long time no see, my friend. Why did you suddenly think of looking for me? Did you encounter any difficulties?"
"Barbatos..."
The elder brother of the twins, the prince of the Abyss Cult, Kong, had a cold face and looked like he wanted to punch the bard in the face: "You are still so shameless!"
"What did you say, my friend?"
Wendy's gem-like eyes were full of innocence: "Did I do something secretly to make you angry? If there is anything you are dissatisfied with, you can tell me directly, and I will definitely change it, okay?"
"..."
Song took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his chest, and looked at Wendy: "I will give up the plan, no longer have any ideas about Tevarin, and let him leave my sister."
"Tevarin? My poor dependent has just woken up. Did it provoke you? Oh, don't worry, I will tell it not to cause trouble for you." Wendy's expression was sincere.
"I will return your Seven Days Statue and choose other statues of gods to complete the plan."
"It's just the Seven Days Statue. If you like it, I can give you two more. You're welcome, my friend."
"...I promise you that the Abyss Cult will not carry out plans that are harmful to Mondstadt in Mondstadt from now on."
"My friend, what are you talking about? I don't quite understand."
"Barbatos!!"
"I'm here, my friend."
"Don't go too far!" Kong said angrily: "What do you have to do to agree to let that horrible monster leave my sister!"
"You are angry, my friend. Because Xiao Tianfeng's existence threatens your sister's safety, because you feel that your family has been calculated..."
Wendy shook her head and looked at Kong, her eyes calm: "But, my friend. When you decided to attack Tevarin, did you consider that it was also my family?"
"..."
Kong fell silent. Did he consider it?
Of course, he had not only considered it, but also struggled with it. However, in order to fight against the law of nature, he had to control all the power he could control, do his best, and not allow any relaxation.
Admittedly, this approach was unfair to his former friends, but he had no choice.
"I..." He opened his mouth and finally sighed: "Sorry, Wendy."
