72 Chapter 72 Coincidental Meeting with an Old Friend (1/2)
Two small shadows swiftly crossed the valley. Apart from those slightly bigger beast groups that they needed to go around, their path was pretty much unobstructed.
”This medicine is actually useful!” Chuxue's eyes were wide as she looked at those elite beasts who were unbelievably trying to avoid them.
What was even more shocking was that Zong Shou seemed to be really familiar with the place. Throughout their journey, he easily maneuvered through the area, not stopping at all.
This valley was vast and wide, and as long as one recognized the direction, one just needed to walk straight ahead. However, Zong Shou's grasp on the character of the beasts here was obviously something normal people couldn't compare with.
Chuxue was filled with questions, and finally she couldn't help but ask, ”Young Master, did you come to this Blood Valley before?”
Zong Shou didn't answer her, smiling mysteriously. This was one of the most famous mid-rank newbie regions, so naturally he had come here before. Furthermore, he had fought numerous battles with the beasts here. It was this place where his martial path began!
However, this medicine didn't come from the game, but was an invention in real life.
Every year, there would be some hunters or people who loved to study elite beasts who would wipe this medicine on their body and enter Blood Valley.
Moreover, the library that Zong Shou worked at in his last life coincidentally had the recipe for this medicine.
This Blood Valley did indeed have the souls and wills of other ancient race experts, forcing Xiantian Realm experts to stay outside. The reason why these elite beasts would change so much and become so bloodthirsty had nothing to do with that, it was because of the influence of something else. All infected beasts would feel really sensitive to and be disgusted by the smell of the medicine on him.
Seeing Zong Shou not bother with her question, Chuxue couldn't help but pout angrily, following behind him. Her eyes were still wary, afraid that some beast would suddenly attack and hurt him.

Although the medicine was good, its effects wore off quickly. Every four hours they had to apply it again.
Zong Shou didn't think about it much, treating the trek as a feast for his eyes. He would turn around and look, while Chuxue's face would flush red.
------
Blood Valley was around twenty miles wide, but the further one walked the narrower it got. The two of them used half a day to travel a hundred miles. Seeing that there were Grade Three beasts appearing, Zong Shou suddenly stopped.
The higher the Grade of a beast, the more intelligent they were. Even if they were affected by that thing, some could still barely maintain control. Naturally the effects of the medicine on their bodies were less effective.
These Grade Three beasts hadn't reached a level that truly made him afraid. What he was afraid of were those Grade Five ones, similar to human Xiantian experts.
Chuxue also knew about the dangers of this area, her finger tapping between her brows and a light exploded out.
”Protector Spirit Beast!”
A small layer of smoke gathered around them. A hundred-foot long body with an ice cold aura spread around them. With sharp claws and teeth, the tiger's eyes shone viciously.
This was the Dark Chill Tiger they had recovered before. A day before they exited the city, Zong Shou helped Chuxue tame it. Although it was only a Grade Three spirit beast, the aura from when it was still a Grade Five beast was still there, making the elite beasts around it fear it.
Who knew if it was because of their tiger bloodline relationship, but it seemed like the beast and Chuxue had some sort of a connection. Not only did it help Chuxue's aura grow, the strength of the Dark Chill Tiger was also on the brink of Grade Four!
”This Dark Chill Tiger and Chuxue's bloodline are really compatible. Unfortunately, Xue'er's ability is too low. If your soul power enters the Out of Body Realm and you make use of talismans, you can strengthen this Dark Chill Tiger to Grade Four...”
