Chapter 665: Venerable's Investigation

After Ye Liuyun had dug for a section, the wound's position had already begun to heal itself.

Once the wound closed, Ye Liuyun felt completely relieved. Now this Food Star Beast is utterly unable to do anything to him.

He again released Lei Ming and Long Nv, letting the two of them help him dig together.

Many hands make light work; with their help, their speed increased greatly.

The Food Star Beast also began to feel something, sleeping uneasily.

However, it didn't know the cause; it only felt an itch and some pain below its throat. It even scratched with its claw, but to no avail.

After dawn, Ye Liuyun, with Lei Ming and Long Nv, had already dug into the chest cavity, not far from the heart's position.

After digging a while longer, they finally reached the heart's position.

"Wow! This big guy's heart is huge!" Lei Ming's Divine Sense, upon probing the Food Star Beast's heart, couldn't help but exclaim.

Just the Food Star Beast's heart alone, to them, was like a great mountain.

"How much blood must there be!" Long Nv also couldn't help but marvel.

"Prepare to bleed!" Ye Liuyun said, taking out several containers for liquid and handing them respectively to Lei Ming and Long Nv.

Afterward he began using the Demon Slaying Sword to continue digging. When he pierced the Food Star Beast's heart, fresh blood spurted out like a spring, drenching Ye Liuyun.

The immense blood pressure directly flung Ye Liuyun into a tumble.

"Such strong pressure!"

Soon, a pool of blood gathered around Ye Liuyun.

"Quick, catch it!" Ye Liuyun called to Lei Ming and Long Nv to collect the blood, while he himself began to absorb it directly.

Lei Ming and Long Nv did the same, one hand filling containers, the other directly absorbing.

"This Food Star Beast's blood is indeed a good thing. Ye Liuyun felt that, soaking in this blood, his own bloodline was actively absorbing the essence from the beast's blood, enhancing his bloodline power."

This Food Star Beast also began to become utterly uneasy.

A little blood loss, though not yet fatal, he still felt it.

Ye Liuyun monitored it with Divine Sense and found it now especially irritable, lashing out at its kin for no reason.

The hole he had dug was also quickly healing; likely the Food Star Beast was relying on its own power to recover from the injury.

Ye Liuyun wasn't in a hurry; after it recovered a bit, he enlarged the wound again, continually keeping the blood inside its heart spurting out.

Gradually, this Food Star Beast outside began to move uneasily, even running around wildly.

Its kin also watched it curiously, not knowing what happened; it itself couldn't say, just feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

Its body is so huge that even a small wound it doesn't feel pain, let alone know where the problem is.

Soon, Lei Ming and Long Nv switched to another container and continued collecting.

The Food Star Beast gradually went from irritable to listless.

It had lost too much blood internally and began to feel weary, though not yet severe.

This is exactly the effect Ye Liuyun wanted: gradually let it lose blood, making it feel sick.

"Little brother, do you have more containers?" Lei Ming asked, wondering what to do after these are filled.

"Don't worry, I already built a specially large reservoir inside the Dragon Palace. Fill these containers, then we'll keep pouring into the reservoir."

Ye Liuyun had prepared earlier; he had already calculated the size of the Food Star Beast's heart and how much blood it contained.

"I... I'm a bit hungry!" Lei Ming said, feeling embarrassed.

Ye Liuyun laughed: "Haha, eat up, you two can eat and drink as you like. But you'll have to eat raw; the air doesn't circulate here, we can't grill meat, and it would easily let the Food Star Beast discover our position."

"Then we won't be polite!" Lei Ming and Long Nv exchanged a glance, both revealed their true forms, shrank their bodies, and began eating right away.

They had already put away the meat they had just dug up.

Now the two of them, while soaking in the blood bath, casually ate and drank; to them, this place was full of food and drink.

Both were overjoyed; while eating, they also stored things into their Storage Rings.

After half an hour, they were both full.

This Food Star Beast, at this moment, had become noticeably weak from excessive blood loss.

It only felt occasional pain near its chest; although it constantly used True Essence to repair, the pain persisted.

Now the pain had eased a bit, yet it still couldn't find the cause of its illness.

By rights, a noble-rank feral beast shouldn't easily fall ill, but now its kin all know it is sick.

At first, some Food Star Beasts came to visit and comfort it; now they all keep their distance, fearing contagion—this is also the nature of beasts.

"It has already been isolated, soon to leave the group!" Long Nv told Ye Liuyun.

They too have been continuously monitoring this Food Star Beast with Divine Sense.

"Very good, everything is going smoothly!"

But just as they felt the plan was proceeding very smoothly, suddenly a much larger Food Star Beast came to this beast's side and began to treat its wounds.

A powerful True Essence power probed into this Food Star Beast's body.

"What should we do?" Lei Ming and Long Nv immediately grew tense.

"Hide inside its heart!" Ye Liuyun thought, then immediately brought Lei Ming and Long Nv to hide inside this Food Star Beast's heart.

Upon entering, they still had to exert a bit of effort and withstand the blood pressure; but since they had been bleeding for a long time, the pressure wasn't too strong now, they clung to the opening and all crawled in.

Not long after, the Food Star Beast's own regenerative ability sealed the hole they had dug.

After that True Essence probe came through and helped repair a bit, it then continued probing elsewhere.

"Should we still go out?" Lei Ming looked to Ye Liuyun, waiting for his decision.

"Not going out; we'll just keep collecting blood here."

Ye Liuyun said, then began to direct the blood straight into the Dragon Palace's reservoir.

Lei Ming and Long Nv, by now had filled all the containers they could, and handed them all to Ye Liuyun to store.

Afterwards, they both also opened their bellies and began to drink.

Ye Liuyun felt that strong True Essence withdrawing from inside the Food Star Beast's body, and he also temporarily relaxed his breath.

Suddenly, Ye Liuyun shouted out.

"Bad, Spiritual Soul Attack!" He didn't waste any words, directly moving Lei Ming and Long Nv into the Storage Ring.

A powerful venerable's soul rushed into the Food Star Beast's body, probing everywhere.

After discovering Ye Liuyun, it directly rushed into Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness, intending to destroy him.
