Chapter 78 (2/2)

Long Chen slowly took out a dagger from his ring . If that hungry wolf did end up coming at him, he absolutely had to kill it in one shot . But he had absolutely no confidence in being able to kill it without making the slightest noise .

If it ended up letting out a miserable howl as it died, then it would be over for him . Man and wolf looked right at each other . Long Chen felt his sweat begin to drip .

This face to face examination continued for several breaths when the wolf’s nose suddenly sniffed slightly . It actually began to retreat and disappeared into the night .

Long Chen was extremely puzzled when he suddenly remembered Little Snow . Having been in contact with that little fellow for so long, had some of his Magical Beast smell rubbed off on him and scared away the wolf?

“Wait, c.r.a.p, Little Snow is still in the valley!”

He clapped himself in the forehead . He had actually forgotten about Little Snow . Before going to kill Xia Changfeng, he had hidden Little Snow inside a cave .

But the situation had changed greatly from what he had imagined . Ying Hou’s appearance had forced Long Chen and Aman to fight with all they had, yet in the end they were unable to defeat him . Long Chen had fled into the forest to draw Ying Hou away .

Now that he suddenly thought of Little Snow, Long Chen prayed that Aman would for once be smart and remember to bring Little Snow away .

The current Little Snow had eaten quite a bit of meat after being with Long Chen . He had already grown from being the size of a palm to being over a foot long . But that was still too small for him to survive on his own .

Thinking of that adorable fellow, Long Chen actually had an urge to go back to the valley . But that was not a viable option . It was almost certain Ying Hou had set up other killers waiting for him around there .

Long Chen’s hatred of Ying Hou rose even higher now, however he was also helpless . Seeing that wolf retreat, Long Chen hastily moved a couple rocks over to completely hide himself . He would conceal his body and aura, which would allow him to avoid most of the beasts .

Suddenly he heard distant roars . Long Chen smiled . Hehe, it seemed Ying Hou truly was popular .

Long Chen didn’t dare kill that wolf because he was afraid of drawing over Ying Hou . Moreover, the death of such a beast would release a strong sense of blood that would attract countless predators .

Those predators were the masters of this area . They were all able to easily smell blood within five miles .

Not long after the first roar, other beasts had also come . Long Chen could even hear the sound of a blade slas.h.i.+ng through the air .

“Hehe, excellent . You just stay busy for now . I’ll recover for a bit . ”

Having hidden himself behind a stone rampart, he was extremely difficult to find . Now with Ying Hou having to fend off all the vicious beasts that were gathering around him, he was even more safe .

He consumed two medicinal pills . One was to heal his inner wounds, while the other was to heal his meridians .

As a Pill Cultivator, Long Chen naturally had prepared countless medicinal pills for himself . Now they finally had some use . And the medicinal pills he had reserved for his own use were extremely extravagant; they were all high grade medicinal pills .

Ever since obtaining the beast flame at the Phoenix Cry Lantern Festival, his flame’s strength had increased so much that Long Chen had completely replaced all his middle grade medicinal pills .

Now that he had consumed those two medicinal pills, he no longer had to be as worried about his inner wounds . As long as he had enough time, they would slowly recover .

But the injury to his hand’s meridians were somewhat troublesome . Meridians spread throughout the entire body, reaching every single place .

It was precisely because of those ca.n.a.l-like meridians that spiritual qi could be sent anywhere in the body to release powerful strength .

If it was an ordinary person’s meridians were destroyed, they would essentially become a cripple . But Long Chen had a Pill G.o.d’s memories, so although this matter was a bit troublesome, it wasn’t a huge obstacle . It just required some time to fix .

Long Chen focused his medicinal pills’ energy onto the endpoint of his wrist where the meridians had been damaged . Using Spiritual Strength and medicinal energy, he let the meridians regenerate .

Letting meridians regenerate was an incredibly difficult process . In principle it was simple . It was just allowing broken ca.n.a.ls to once more grow along their old routes .

But the difficulty was actually incredibly great . In the entire Phoenix Cry Empire, even including grandmaster Yun Qi, there was no one other than Long Chen who could do so .

Grandmaster Yun Qi could perhaps recover the finger’s meridians because those were main meridians that many people remembered .

But as for those extremely thin meridians that were no wider than a hair, those were something he was definitely unable of healing . And even if he did manage to mold those meridians out with his experience, they would be completely different from the old ones .

But Long Chen’s method was not the same . He was letting the meridians once more grow out extremely naturally, letting them follow their own paths that they remembered .

Such a process was exceptionally slow, but to Long Chen, each millimeter they grew was another increase in his chances of survival .

Long Chen focused his entire attention on recovering from his wounds . The entire night pa.s.sed as he worked, and he only opened his eyes when it was once more daytime

Quietly opening the stone shelter he had built, he looked over in the direction where all those beast roars had come from and his stomach suddenly rumbled .

Long Chen’s eyes brightened and he suddenly smiled mischievously . Ying Hou, this master is going to prepare a little gift for you .
