Chapter 19: Cave Beast Priest, Die!

"Red hair? This makes me very curious about who your mother is, to be able to be mentioned in the same breath as the Cave God." The Cave Beast Priest opened his mouth.

In the Cave Beast Priest's expression, there wasn't a trace of violence or ambition; instead, like a human, he possessed lively wisdom.

"You actually haven't lost your sanity?" Chu Danqing interjected.

"Without sanity, how could I sacrifice to my father, the Cave God?" The Cave Beast Priest gave a light laugh. "At the beginning, I really didn't have sanity."

"I have to thank Xianghua Village; they created enough Village Guardians."

"I swallowed too many brothers and sisters, and the Cave God bloodline in their bodies created my wisdom step by step."

"That's why I'm curious why you can maintain your sanity." The Cave Beast Priest squatted down, his expression carrying a hint of mockery.

At this moment, Chu Danqing seemed to understand the cause and effect. "So every time you fought Da Bao, you actually never thought about killing him."

"Yes, I need his bloodline to fully revive; otherwise, even if I eat him, it would be meaningless." The Cave Beast Priest said, licking his claws.

Chu Danqing took out the Bai Longyu's Roar and threw it to Da Bao without changing his expression.

Seeing this scene, the Cave Beast Priest's eyes lit up. "A weapon? Very interesting."

"However, our claws are the weapons most suitable for us."

The surprises Da Bao gave him were truly too many.

The next moment, Da Bao directly activated the active effect of the Bai Longyu's Roar, Bai Longyu Power, adding 5 points of Strength to himself.

After throwing it back to Chu Danqing, he fiercely launched an attack on the Cave Beast Priest.

During this process, Da Bao also activated his active skill, Tearing Claws.

The power of Blood Rage instantly covered his body, especially the claws on his hands and feet, which flowed with a layer of blood-colored radiance.

"Very unique power, somewhat similar to that fish with thin dragon blood, but you are still..." The Cave Beast Priest stood up and counterattacked confidently.

But when Da Bao's sharp claws landed on him, he realized he had been too arrogant.

With a Strength attribute as high as 12 points, the Cave Beast Priest simply couldn't contend with it; a large piece of flesh and blood was torn off on the spot, and blood flowed like a fountain.

The Cave Beast Priest was not only injured by Da Bao in one encounter but was also afflicted with a Bleed status.

This meant that the Cave Beast Priest was about to face Da Bao, who had triggered the passive skill Bloodthirsty Pursuit.

The Cave Beast Priest was frustrated and triggered his ferocity, opening his fangs and biting toward Da Bao's shoulder.

But Da Bao's speed wasn't slow either; Tearing Claws pierced through the Cave Beast Priest's chest.

This time it was physical damage + tearing damage + bleed damage; the Lifesteal effect took effect and once again aggravated the bleed effect on the opponent.

And this was just the skill effect; in Da Bao's Bloodthirsty Fury talent, there was also an effect where the lower the enemy's HP, the higher the damage dealt to them.

Even though a large piece of meat was bitten off Da Bao's shoulder by the Cave Beast Priest, the recovery from the Lifesteal effect caused granulation tissue to grow rapidly on his wound to start repairing it.

Conversely, when he pulled his claws back, it caused the Cave Beast Priest to suffer severe trauma.

He couldn't even stand steadily.

The two sides fought for less than thirty seconds; if the Cave Beast Priest had no other means, the result was already doomed.

The Cave Beast Priest swallowed the flesh and blood bitten off from Da Bao's shoulder, his expression revealing satisfaction. "The taste of anger flowing in the blood, truly delicious."

"This is the new power you obtained, right?"

"But after all, there is the father's bloodline in it, so..." As the Cave Beast Priest's voice fell, a blood-colored aura also appeared on his body.

Only, compared to the one on Da Bao, it appeared very thin.

"I have it too."

The blood-colored aura flowed to the Cave Beast Priest's claws; ignoring his injuries, he pounced on Da Bao again.

The two sides fought together again.

Through observation, Chu Danqing also noticed something bad.

Although the Cave Beast Priest hadn't fully obtained Da Bao's talents and skills, it was just a simplified version.

However, the opponent's combat experience and wisdom far surpassed Da Bao's; Da Bao's fighting relied entirely on beast intuition, which meant relying on instinct.

In the application of talents and skills, he was naturally not as good as the Cave Beast Priest.

More importantly, one minute had passed, and the 5 points of Strength added by Bai Longyu Power had disappeared.

So in terms of Strength attribute, Da Bao was already lower than the Cave Beast Priest; fortunately, it shouldn't be much lower, at most 1 point lower.

"Father, I am your most loyal offspring!" After the Cave Beast Priest bit a piece of flesh and blood from Da Bao's hand, he also tore the fur off one of Da Bao's hands.

Chu Danqing originally thought it was just a sentence to show loyalty, but clearly, the Cave Beast Priest wasn't so idle as to say that in a fight.

As the Cave Beast Priest finished shouting, his fur began to expand, and his figure also swelled up like a balloon, bringing his Strength along with it.

The injuries on his body had visible recovery.

Clearly, he had used some kind of skill, very likely a trump card.

After all, as the Cave Beast Priest's HP dropped and the Bleed status increased, Da Bao's damage and Lifesteal effect on him became stronger and stronger, forcing him to do so.

The Cave Beast Priest became stronger, but he also paid a price.

He completely lost his sanity and turned into a beast, relying on instinct, using fangs and claws together; just one strike caused Da Bao's HP to drop to a precarious 20%.

Chu Danqing's expression was anxious, and then he saw Da Bao's passive skill Beast Instinct take effect, entering a Berserk state, and he also lost his sanity.

All attributes were temporarily increased by 1 point.

"On the Cave Beast Priest, it's an active skill; on Da Bao, it mutated into a passive skill."

"And both are indiscriminate..." Chu Danqing hurriedly pulled the donkey and ran to the side.

Just looking at their berserk appearance, one could tell from their expressions that staying behind wasn't a good thing.

For Da Bao to end the Berserk state, he needed to recover his HP to 30%; he had a Lifesteal effect, so he should recover quickly.

Conversely, the Cave Beast Priest, he didn't know what the situation was with the opponent.

Reaching a safe range, Chu Danqing then opened Da Bao's panel to observe through his HP.

At this moment, the HP was like a roller coaster, rising and falling, always hovering between 20% and 30%.

And the speed of the ups and downs was getting faster and faster.

Until five minutes later, it became a stable increase.

This meant the battle was over.

But Chu Danqing didn't go out, instead waiting until Da Bao's HP recovered to 31% before driving the donkey cart back.

Da Bao was holding an excellent-tier treasure chest in his left hand, and in the other hand, he was gnawing on the Cave Beast Priest, who was torn to pieces all over without a single piece of good flesh.

His eating speed was very fast; when Chu Danqing returned, the Cave Beast Priest's head and half of his chest had already disappeared.

It was precisely because of his eating behavior that his HP had such rapid recovery.
