Chapter 99: Dare Not Go, Will Die
Su Huchen immediately explained to him: "Because you are a cultivator, you must fight; if you fight, you will inevitably suffer damage to body parts."
If you engage in combat, you might lose a leg, an eye, or internal organs.
The pills in our hands, even third-grade pills, cannot make a new one grow directly for you.
At best, they can repair you slightly from serious injuries.
I have heard that only treasure pills of the sixth grade or higher can allow a person to regenerate a lost limb.
The body parts of a shape-shifting wood demon have gentle demonic energy suitable for integration into the human body. As long as you nurture them for a period, replace the demonic energy with spiritual energy to nourish them, and slowly expel the demonic energy from the body, those body parts of theirs will become your own.
When Su Hanlin reaches Foundation Establishment, and before that, he eats a Devouring Anomaly Pill, he can use the favorable timing of body reshaping during Foundation Establishment to grow the missing eye back. Moreover, since this eye has devoured the original wood demon's eye, it can possess some special abilities.
Therefore, the body of a shape-shifting wood demon is actually quite sought after.
I have heard that some people specifically throw shape-shifting grass to small wood demons at the Qi Refining stage, encouraging them to shape-shift. Then, after they shape-shift, they harvest their bodies.
It is just a matter of wasting a bit more shape-shifting grass.
We in Xiancheng grow shape-shifting grass. I have heard that every year, people secretly throw shape-shifting grass into the wild mountains and fields outside Xiancheng to attract those ignorant small wood demons to swallow the shape-shifting grass. Then they harvest the small demons whose shape-shifting is not very complete and send them back to the Xiancheng treasury to serve as medicinal materials."
Su Jian opened his mouth wide: "This is too wicked."
"Otherwise, why do the Wood Witch tribes outside the city keep coming to Xiancheng to complain? The small wood demons they raise outside the tribe are frequently secretly fished away by us people of Xiancheng. How could they not come to complain?" Su Huchen said solemnly.
Su Jian: "..."
Su Hanlin burst out laughing directly.
"By the way, how did your discussion with Su Jin go? Did you communicate with Blood Xue Chiluo?" Su Huchen asked again.
"I have already discussed it with Su Jin, and she has also communicated well with Blood Xue Chiluo. Cooperating with you is no problem, but we must be given something delicious to eat," Su Jian said.
Su Huchen laughed directly upon hearing this.
If they encountered a Blood Xue Chiluo in its mature stage, it might be difficult to deal with.
But the Blood Xue Chiluo he intends to borrow now is merely a little one.
"Alright, I will come earlier tomorrow to pick it up. By then, whatever delicious food it wants to eat, I will prepare a portion for it. As for the mother bugs, forget it; I have already turned in those few mother bugs," Su Huchen said, spreading his hands.
"Done," Su Jian agreed immediately.
Su Huchen drove Su Jian away again and talked with Su Hanlin for a while.
After seeing Su Huchen off, Su Hanlin also went back into the room to prepare. Regarding the matter of Blood Xue Chiluo, Su Hanlin did not ask a single word.
Su Jian knew that Su Huchen had already explained everything to Su Hanlin.
The next morning, not long after Su Jin and the others had left, Su Huchen arrived.
He also brought several confidants with him.
As soon as everyone entered the door, their eyes sparkled; each one was extremely curious.
Blood Xue Chiluo, hey; no one has seen it with their own eyes yet.
Su Jian went directly to Su Jin's room, then carried out a flower pot.
Growing in the flower pot was a plant about one chi tall.
"This is my Blood Xue Chiluo. Little Blood, say hello to your brother Su Huchen and the other brothers."
"Hello everyone, I am Blood Xue Chiluo," Blood Xue Chiluo spoke directly.
Immediately... the crowd of arrivals was stunned.
Let alone them, even Su Hanlin, who was packing things up and walking out the door to meet up with Su Huchen, was stunned.
"It... why can it speak?" Su Huchen said, utterly shocked. He had thought he would need to use spiritual sense to communicate with Blood Xue Chiluo.
He did not expect it could actually speak.
"Little Blood ate that... bug, and then it could speak," Su Jian said.
"Which bug..." Su Huchen was about to ask which bug, but then he realized. "Ah, that one, I understand."
Su Huchen immediately thought of the Clan Leader killing a mother bug.
Damn it, the Clan Leader is too wicked.
To actually stage a fake fight just to get a mother bug for Blood Xue Chiluo to eat?!
Then what should he do? Break off a piece of the insect nest and add it as a snack for Blood Xue Chiluo?
Ahem, that is not impossible either. Just break off a piece secretly. Of course, this depends on whether Blood Xue Chiluo likes to eat it.
"Hello, Blood Xue Chiluo. Today is trouble for you; in a moment, I will give you a mother bug's wing. You smell its scent. Then track its scent; you should be able to find the insect nest," Su Huchen said.
Of course, this entire process was not arranged by him.
This is something other Blood Red Luos do; to find the insect nest, he has also arranged it for this little Blood Xue Chiluo.
"Alright. I will listen to you," Blood Xue Chiluo said obediently.
Su Huchen took the Blood Xue Chiluo from Su Jian's hands, then said in surprise: "Su Jian, the portrait you gave me shows Blood Xue Chiluo looking nothing like this."
"It grew after eating a bug," Su Jian said immediately.
Su Huchen looked at him speechlessly.
One bug can shift all the blame.
You guys are something else.
"It really grew after eating a bug," Su Jian emphasized again.
Even Blood Xue Chiluo chimed in: "I grew because I ate that extremely fragrant bug. If I could eat a few more, I would definitely be able to continue growing."
Su Huchen fell silent immediately.
He had already turned in the mother bug he caught.
After leaving Su Jian's house, they then went to the front of the City Lord's Mansion to meet up with the many elites of the Patrol Bureau.
Only then did Su Huchen open a small box, revealing a tiny wing inside.
He brought the small wing to Blood Xue Chiluo's front: "This is the scent. Can you find the location of the insect nest through this scent?"
Blood Crimson Vine extended its pale, tender roots and directly seized the wing; then, right before everyone's eyes, that small wing turned to dust and was eaten by Blood Crimson Vine.
Blood Crimson Vine thought, isn't this the small wing of the insect I ate yesterday?
Ahem, that insect yesterday was wasted not at all, so does this small wing belong to another insect?
"I feel there are four fragrant ones still in there," Blood Crimson Vine said, pointing toward the City Lord's Mansion.
"Ahem, those are female insects, not the insect nest. Moreover, those have already been caught by us; we are now looking for the insect nest outside."
"The insect nest is very large, with many delicious things inside," Su Huchen said.
"Oh, oh, very large," Blood Crimson Vine immediately thought of that extremely fragrant, extremely fragrant place.
It had actually discovered its location long ago, but dared not go. Because it was too small, it felt that if it went, it might not be able to return to Grandparent.
"Dare not go," Blood Crimson Vine thought for a moment, then bluntly told Su Huchen.
"Ahem, do you know where the insect nest is?"
"There is an extremely fragrant, extremely fragrant place. I do not know if it is the insect nest," Blood Crimson Vine said.
"Then can you lead us there?"
"Dare not go; I will die," Blood Crimson Vine answered.
