Chapter 281: Thousand-Eyed Demon Sheep, terrifying strength, spiritual medicine

"Roar!"

After the Demon Sheep's muscles all over its body finished shaking, it let out a heaven-shaking roar.

Immediately after, Luo Yuan, Xu Ning, and the seven others who hadn't fully landed, as well as Chen Yingyuan and Peng Bo who were struggling and dodging under the Demon Sheep's abdomen, seemed to have sensed something and glanced with their peripheral vision simultaneously.

With this glance, the nine people felt their scalps go numb, and their bodies stiffened fiercely.

What did they see!

On the surface of the Demon Sheep's body, which was covered in snow-white mane, hundreds or thousands of eyeballs opened simultaneously.

Those eyeballs were covered with bloodshot eyes on the outside, looking like terrifying crimson red from afar, while inside were vertical golden pupils. The eyes on different parts of the body were staring at the direction of the people, and they were still turning along with the people, evil and enchanting to the extreme.

"Not Hundred-Eyed level, this is a Thousand-Eyed level Demon Sheep. It's over!"

On the ground, Peng Bo looked up and saw the countless pupils on the Demon Sheep's abdomen, then met the gaze of Chen Yingyuan, who was not far away. The two saw despair on each other's faces simultaneously.

The Demon Sheep just shook the trees within a radius of a mile, just to drive all the seven people on the trees down. In the gap when the seven fell off the big trees, naturally, there was no chance to draw bows and nock arrows again.

And it seized this opportunity to open all the eyes on its body.

The purpose was self-evident!

Luo Yuan and the seven others were further away and still had a chance to escape.

The two of them were under the Demon Sheep's abdomen.

There was simply no chance to escape.

Swish swish swish......

The next moment, just as the two, Chen and Peng, thought in their hearts, the thousands of golden pupils on the Demon Sheep's body burst out thousands of sharp golden lights.

Countless golden lights tore through the snowy night, almost illuminating the space of several miles around.

Among the five who fell from the trees, Yuan Cheng, Xu Ning, Luo Yuan, and Yue Feng couldn't dodge in time and were pierced by at least four or five golden lights. After falling to the ground, they basically had no ability to move;

Yu Wendao, who was slightly stronger among the five, although he used his broadsword to block the vital parts, still had one shoulder hit and a large piece of flesh shaved off;

Chen Yingba and Wu Tianxing were the closest and had the worst outcome. Their shoulders, chests, abdomens, and lower limbs were all pierced by two or three golden lights on average, and more than ten blood holes appeared on their bodies. They were already unconscious before they landed. After they landed, blood gushed out of the wounds, quickly staining their clothes red;

If the seven on the outer periphery were like this, the two, Chen and Peng, who were under the Demon Sheep's abdomen, if there were no accidents, should be dead without a doubt.

But in fact, the two not only didn't die, but their injuries were actually the lightest.

"Leader!"

"Leader."

A black shadow blocked in front of the two. Not only were all the golden lights shot from the Demon Sheep's abdomen blocked, but that black shadow even lifted the two up and threw them directly beside Yu Wendao.

The two, Chen and Peng, who had escaped death, shouted out in joy the moment they were thrown away.

But the next second, realizing the strength of this Thousand-Eyed Demon Sheep, which was even more terrifying than Xia Hong, they immediately prepared to shout a reminder.

It was just a pity that before their words could be spoken, Xia Hong spoke first.

"Didn't you say there was no problem? A Demon Sheep, and you were beaten into this state?"

Hearing Xia Hong's displeased tone, Chen Yingyuan and Peng Bo immediately explained.

"Leader, we misjudged. This is a Thousand-Eyed Demon Sheep."

Peng Bo previously thought that this Demon Sheep was just about to break through to the Thousand-Eyed level. Having witnessed the scene of the Demon Sheep shaking the big trees within a radius of a mile just now, he couldn't react now, knowing they had been deceived by this Demon Sheep.

"The strength of an advanced Demon Sheep is measured by the number of eyeballs on its body. Hundred-Eyed level is just the most common, with power between fifteen and eighteen Zong. This Demon Sheep has over a thousand eyeballs, so its power is definitely above twenty Zong......"

He quickly opened his mouth to state the Demon Sheep's strength, wanting to persuade Xia Hong to escape, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted.

Bang!

He was interrupted by Xia Hong's high-raised foot.

After Xia Hong threw the two away, he was still standing under the Demon Sheep's abdomen. He didn't even pull out the broadsword at his waist, just kicked up toward the sky at the Demon Sheep's abdomen.

Next, the scene that dumbfounded everyone happened.

The Demon Sheep, which had a behemoth body nearly thirty meters long, was actually kicked directly into the sky by Xia Hong's kick, flying twenty or thirty meters high.

This wasn't the end. Xia Hong pushed off the ground and leaped. After flying over the Demon Sheep's head, a blood-jade-colored horizontal blade had already appeared in his hand.

Pfft!

Xia Hong held the horizontal blade in reverse, sank down angrily, and pierced straight through the Demon Sheep's neck, smashing the Demon Sheep's body toward the ground with terrifying power, emitting a heaven-shaking loud sound.

Bang!

The Demon Sheep had just shaken the big trees within a radius of a mile. This strike of Xia Hong's caused an even more terrifying shockwave, actually spreading out for over half a mile more.

Boom crack......

"Roar......"

The sound of the bones in the Demon Sheep's neck position breaking was incomparably crisp. The angry roar it let out this time was even more violent than before, and because it carried a trace of pain, it even had a somewhat hysterical meaning.

Thump thump thump......

It was being pressed dead on the ground by Xia Hong. After its four limbs struggled more than ten times, realizing that its power couldn't break free from Xia Hong, it suddenly let out an angry roar, and the golden eyeballs densely covered all over its body opened again.

The golden pupils inside the eyeballs, without exception, all stared dead at Xia Hong.

It was going to fight for its life!

Swish swish swish swish......

Hundreds of golden lights shot out from the eyeballs on the Demon Sheep's back, all targeting Xia Hong.

Swish......

Xia Hong sneered, gripped the horizontal blade tightly with both hands, and while dodging the golden lights, circled the Demon Sheep's neck and pulled fiercely downward from the left side.

Being so close, with hundreds of golden lights shooting over, Xia Hong wanting to dodge them all was naturally unrealistic. So Xia Hong only avoided the vital parts, leaving positions like his shoulders and back to forcibly endure dozens of them.

Those golden lights could pierce the bodies of Peng Bo, Chen Yingyuan, and the other nine, but after hitting Xia Hong's body, they only managed to break through his skin-membrane and couldn't penetrate his flesh.

Plus, the parts hit were not vital parts, so Xia Hong didn't suffer much damage at all, and even his movements didn't deform.

The Demon Sheep couldn't hurt him, but the damage he dealt to the Demon Sheep was ruthless.

That horizontal blade strike just now, circling the Demon Sheep's head and pulling down, left a super-long blade wound half a meter deep on the left side of the Demon Sheep's neck.

Eerily, there was not a trace of blood flowing out of the blade wound!

Actually, the first blade Xia Hong inserted into the Demon Sheep's neck didn't have any blood splashing out either.

Such a deep wound, and no blood flowing out?

Confusion and incomprehension were full on the faces of Chen and Peng.

Soon, Yu Wendao's exclamation solved the puzzle for the two.

"Cold Blood Blade, the Leader's Cold Blood Blade can suck the blood of cold beasts!"

Thump thump thump......

The life-saving trick failed. Realizing that it was at the end of its rope, the Demon Sheep began its most intense struggle and resistance. Its four limbs struggled crazily on the ground, and from time to time, it used its sharp horns to butt, trying to shake off or hit Xia Hong away from its neck.

However, everything was in vain.

Xia Hong directly changed to holding the blade with one hand. While keeping the Cold Blood Blade inserted in the Demon Sheep's neck, he pulled out the Dragon Sparrow Blade with his other hand and stabbed it directly into the wound that had already been cut open on the neck.

Pfft......

With this strike, Xia Hong aimed straight for the Demon Sheep's skull.

After piercing through, the Demon Sheep's body stiffened instantly, and its four limbs, which had been struggling, went stiff, stopping all movements.

Swish......

Realizing that the Demon Sheep was dead, Xia Hong quickly withdrew the Cold Blood Blade to avoid the blood in its body being sucked dry.

After the Demon Sheep's breath was cut off, its huge body began to shrink, gradually shrinking from the original body length of nearly thirty meters to the two-meter-plus size from before.

After returning to its normal form, the golden eyeballs densely covered all over the Demon Sheep's body were all clearly revealed, disgusting and incomparably creepy.

Xia Hong withdrew his gaze from the Demon Sheep's corpse and turned to look at the Cold Blood Blade in his hand, whose color was becoming increasingly gorgeous. His expression stirred slightly.

He clearly sensed that the Cold Blood Blade in his hand had become heavier!

When Mu Dong handed it to him at the beginning of the year, it was only over four hundred jin. When he killed the first advanced Frost Wolf, it became over five hundred jin. After killing this Demon Sheep, it had now become over six hundred jin.

"Basically, it can be confirmed that this Cold Blood Blade can continuously increase its weight by absorbing the blood of cold beasts. It's just that I don't know where the upper limit is!"

Generally speaking, a weapon has one-tenth the weight of one's basic power to be considered applicable. With his current basic power, even the 60,000-to-70,000-jin Dragon Sparrow Blade was not very handy for him, not to mention the Cold Blood Blade, which weighed over four hundred jin. He held it in his hand, and it was almost as light as a feather.

The problem was the camp's current forging ability. Wanting to forge a weapon with a weight suitable for him, the resources consumed were secondary; the key was that the time taken was too long, the manpower input was too much, and the difficulty was also very high. Within a short period of time, it certainly couldn't be done.

The characteristic of the Cold Blood Blade could be said to perfectly solve this problem.

Just as Xia Hong was excited about the characteristic of the Cold Blood Blade, Chen Yingyuan, Peng Bo, and the seven others, including the injured Yu Wendao, looked at the Demon Sheep corpse at his feet, and a monstrous wave had already risen in their hearts.

In their minds, the scene of Xia Hong killing the Demon Sheep just now kept flashing. Their faces were full of shock and horror, and only one question remained in their hearts.

"How strong is the Leader's strength?"

Compared to Yu Wendao and the others, the shock in the hearts of the two, Chen and Peng, was even greater.

Returning from Longyou, they already knew quite a bit about Does Does Da Xia's situation. They knew very well that Xia Hong's strongest battle record so far was the time he saved Hou Hu from Li Tiancheng's hands.

From that time, Xia Hong's basic power should be between seventeen and eighteen Zong. This was already the first echelon in Longyou, very strong.

But at this moment, they discovered that Xia Hong's strength was far more than that.

"The power this Demon Sheep just exerted was definitely above twenty Zong, but in the Leader's hands, it didn't even have a chance to fight back and was killed directly!"

"The Demon Sheep's killing move couldn't even pierce the Leader's flesh, only breaking his skin-membrane. This strength, this strength......"

Chen and Peng looked at each other and swallowed their saliva simultaneously.

"Everyone, hurry up and get up, check their injuries."

Hearing the displeasure in Xia Hong's tone, Chen and Peng's faces flushed red. Looking at everyone around them who were all injured, they were full of guilt. After getting up, they walked directly to Xia Hong, bowed, and said:

"This subordinate handled matters poorly, I hope the Leader will forgive me!"

"Peng Bo's strength is insufficient, I boasted shamelessly, implicating a group of brothers to be injured, and almost lost their lives. Please punish me, Leader."

The active confession of the two had a reason!

When they went deep into Seeing Seeing Hong Mu Ridge last night, Xia Hong's original intention was to take everyone together to hunt a few advanced cold beasts to test the waters. It was the two, Chen and Peng, who took the initiative to ask, saying that they could handle it completely with the other seven, so Xia Hong let go and let them hunt on their own, while he went to a deeper position.

Unexpectedly, he had only hunted one Frost Wolf in the depths, and when he came out, he ran into the nine people being beaten into this state. If he had come later, he estimated that people would have died.

Xia Hong also had no intention of blaming the two, just waved his hand helplessly and asked: "Yanglu and the Hive are both on the north side of Seeing Seeing Hong Mu Ridge. You must have entered Seeing Seeing Hong Mu Ridge not once or twice, how could you pick the wrong prey?"

This disaster was clearly caused by the two, Chen and Peng, picking the wrong target and picking a cold beast whose strength was much stronger than theirs, so it was not unjust to be beaten into this state.

The problem was that these two were the leaders of the two camps respectively. From the perspective of age, their hunting experience must be very rich. It was really somewhat unreasonable to make such a serious mistake, so Xia Hong asked this question.

Hearing the subtext in Xia Hong's words, the two men's old faces flushed bright red.

In the end, it was Chen Yingyuan who spoke up to explain: "The leader may not know, but we previously entered the Seeing Seeing Hong Mu Ridge from the north, and our usual depth of penetration was only about ten kilometers. It stands to reason that the high-level demonic sheep appearing in this range are basically Hundred-Eye grade. We truly did not expect that a Thousand-Eye grade demonic sheep would appear at just seven kilometers..."

Hearing this explanation, Xia Hong finally understood.

The Beehive and Yanglu are both on the north side of the Seeing Seeing Hong Mu Ridge. For Chen and Peng, the Seeing Seeing Hong Mu Ridge on the east side was indeed completely unfamiliar. Coupled with the fact that Yuwendao and the others knew nothing about high-level cold beasts, such a mistake was indeed unavoidable.

"The hunting grounds for high-level cold beasts can only be explored slowly by you on both sides. It would be best if you can connect the north and east sides together, so that the hunting area will be broader in the future.

In addition, summarize the hunting area information of the Yanglu, Beehive, and Wu Shuang families to Does Does Da Xia as soon as possible to avoid such mistakes in the future!"

Yuwendao nodded immediately and said: "Leader, rest assured, I already took care of this last month. The current exploration depth on the north side is 10 kilometers, and the east side is only 5 kilometers. The hunting department's recent exploration focus is on the northeast side, and it should only take a few months to completely connect the two areas."

Only then did Xia Hong reveal a look of satisfaction and nod.

Peng Bo thought of something at this moment, dragged his injured body quickly to the large tree where the demonic sheep had just been entrenched, and after searching for a while, he soon let out an exclamation.

"Leader, come and look!"

The demonic sheep had long since knocked down all the large trees within a radius of one li, and the tree it was entrenched in was naturally no exception.

Xia Hong led the group all the way to the top of the broken tree, looked in the direction of Peng Bo's finger, and his expression was suddenly shocked.

On some of the main trunks of that large tree, there were actually clusters of spiraling, dark green leaves, and in the very center of some of the leaves, there were a few fist-sized, two-colored fruits, totaling more than a dozen.

The fruit was half blue and half red, and the pulp was as transparent as liquid, quite ornamental.

"Dual-Colored Liquid Spirit Fruit and Panxiang Leaves!"

Xia Hong stepped forward to sniff the leaves and fruits, his expression suddenly filled with surprise and joy.

"The leader has a sharp eye; these are indeed the two essential spirit medicines for brewing the Jade Bone Great Medicine. These Panxiang Leaves are the companion spirit plants of the demonic sheep and are also their favorite food. Wherever a demonic sheep is entrenched, there is a high probability of finding them. This demonic sheep must have been entrenched here for quite some time, as there are many Panxiang Leaves. If we had come earlier, there might have been even more spirit fruits."

The essential spirit medicines for brewing the Jade Bone Great Medicine!

Xia Hong and Peng Bo's points of excitement were not in the same place.

Or rather, he was not just excited about this point.

These two spirit medicines can not only be used to refine Yang Origin Pills;

Crucially, they are also the main materials for refining Blood Origin Pills.

Blood Origin Pills are auxiliary cultivation pills for the limit of the Earth-Digging Realm, and to a certain extent, they can accelerate the birth of Cold-Resistant grade members in the camp.

Xia Hong suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Chen Yingyuan and Peng Bo, continuing to ask: "Are there any other spirit medicine varieties associated with high-level cold beasts? You have hunted many high-level cold beasts before, tell me everything you know."

This is key information that can be obtained without risking one's life.

Chen Yingyuan and Peng Bo have been in the camp for so long, and he actually only asked now.

Xia Hong patted his head and cursed himself for being stupid.
