1146 Core and Internal Breath
Whoosh!
Looking at the group of Three-Ringed Mane Deers that ran into the distance of the gra.s.sland and soon disappeared from the horizon, Chu Nan gently exhaled and relaxed for the first time.
After more than three hours of chasing and escaping with more than a thousand Three-Ringed Mane Deers, they finally realized that it was impossible to truly surround and kill this detestable human in front of them, so they chose to retreat collectively.
Chu Nan could chase after it and continue fighting for a while, but when he saw that the star was about to enter the horizon with the fleeing Three-Ringed Mane Deer, he gave up on this thought.
!!In any case, there were already more than 200 corpses of the Three-Ringed Mane Deer left on the gra.s.sland. It was almost enough.
Most importantly, in order to keep these Three-Ringed Mane Deers hanging, while Chu Nan ensured that he was not surrounded by them, he had to maintain his running on the ground as much as possible. At the same time, he had to turn around and hara.s.s them from time to time. This caused a huge consumption of his mind and stamina. If this continued, it was impossible for him to persist.
Moreover, he was still in the Garden Hunting a.s.sembly in the end. In order to guard against possible danger, Chu Nan had to ensure that his condition was not too bad at all times. Therefore, it was necessary to stop while he was ahead.
Boom!
A burly figure landed from the side and heavily smashed into the gra.s.sland, splashing soil.
“Here.” Hasol handed Chu Nan a simple leather bag that was probably made of the skin that had just been taken from the corpse of the Three-Ringed Mane Deer, “You deserve these. Count them.”
Chu Nan reached out to take it and did not open the leather bag to count. Instead, he hung it on his waist and looked at Hasol.
“Are you injured?”
“It’s a small injury, it’s fine. I…” Hasol suddenly stopped and slapped his head before extending his other arm that was hanging at Chu Nan’s waist, “I forgot. Come, can you treat this injury for me?”
Chu Nan glanced at his arm and easily determined that it should be broken. He stretched out his hand and touched it to confirm the situation of the bone. Then, he arranged it again and activated the Flame of Life. It did not take long for Hasol’s arm to recover.
“Alright, are there any other injuries?”
Hasol shook his arm and shook it. After confirming that it was really as intact as if he had never been injured, he could not help but click his tongue in wonder.
“Chu Nan, your cultivation method is really too magical. Can you teach me?”
Chu Nan looked at him expressionlessly, “What do you think?”
Hasol shrugged and muttered. He did not ask further and waved at Chu Nan.
“Alright, it doesn’t matter if there are other injuries. There’s no need to trouble you.”
“Alright. Since you have no problem, I’ll tell you something,” Chu Nan said.
“Tell me.”
Chu Nan patted the leather bag at his waist and said, “Since I’ve obtained these things, I reckon I’ll need to spend a few more days digesting them. However, there are only ten days left until the end of the first stage of the Garden Hunting a.s.sembly. Next, I definitely have to spend more time increasing the performance of the Garden Hunting a.s.sembly. You should be the same, so our cooperation ends here for the time being. I won’t cooperate with you to hunt ferocious beasts anymore.”
Hasol seemed to be a little surprised, but after thinking for a moment, he agreed with Chu Nan.
“Yes, that’s right. If I don’t perform well and can’t obtain the final reward, I’ll have come for nothing this time and it’ll be very troublesome when I return. Alright, Chu Nan, it’s very happy to cooperate with you in the hunt. If only you could team up with me in the future.”
“That’s clearly impossible.” Chu Nan smiled and shook his head, “However, I’m very happy to know you. If there’s a chance in the future, it’s possible for us to hunt together again. Moreover, don’t forget that there’s still the second stage of the Garden Hunting a.s.sembly. Perhaps we’ll still have the chance to cooperate.”
Hasol grinned and clearly understood Chu Nan’s meaning.
After the two of them chatted for a while, Hasol expressed that he still wanted to chase after the group of Three-Ringed Mane Deers and strive to obtain more spoils of war. Chu Nan expressed that he was not interested, so Hasol naturally would not forcefully invite him and left readily.
Looking at Hasol disappear in the direction where the Three-Ringed Mane Deer fled, he happened to see the star enter the horizon. The sky was already dark. Chu Nan thought for a moment and saw that the environment around the gra.s.sland was quiet, so he could not be bothered to rush back to Lone Star City. He chose the corpse of a slightly smaller Three-Ringed Mane Deer from the ground and flew back to the small lake wrapped in three small mountains outside the gra.s.sland. He skinned and washed it before setting up a fire and slowly roasting it.
As he flipped the Three-Ringed Mane Deer on the fire, Chu Nan flipped open the leather bag that Hasol had given him and discovered that it was densely filled with the cores of the Three-Ringed Mane Deer of various sizes. There were more than a hundred.
The largest of these cores was only the size of a thumb, and the smallest was only the size of a pinky. Their entire bodies emitted a milky white light, and in the dark environment, they gave people a gentle and quiet feeling, like a pile of pearls.
However, Chu Nan knew very well that the value of these things was much more precious than pearls.
If he sold it, according to Hasol’s introduction, even the worst quality Three-Ringed Mane Deer core could easily be sold on the Milky Way Network. Moreover, the price was definitely not low.
However, Chu Nan naturally did not plan to sell it. The reason why he was willing to hunt these Three-Ringed Mane Deers with Hasol was that he had discovered some very special things in the core of the Three-Ringed Mane Deer that Hasol had given him.
After recalling the feeling brought about by the Three-Ringed Mane Deer core, Chu Nan took out one from his leather bag and pinched it on his finger to look at it carefully for a while before injecting a trace of Internal Breath into it.
As soon as his Internal Breath entered the core, Chu Nan immediately felt the strange energy fluctuation.
The core of the Three-Ringed Mane Deer gave him a completely different feeling from the cores of the Four-Winged Golden Crow and the Red Tumor Mountain Beast. The energy structure patterns in the cores of the Four-Winged Golden Crow and the Red Tumor Mountain Beast were different. What was similar was that they contained extremely pure spatial energy, fully reflecting their respective characteristics.
However, the characteristics of the energy fluctuation circulation in the core of the Three-Ringed Mane Deer could not be considered pure at all. Instead, it seemed to be a little mixed. Not only was there a fluctuation of spatial energy, but it also had a strange fluctuation that was extremely close to Internal Breath. It gave Chu Nan the special feeling of mixed Internal Breath and spatial energy interacting after the star cloud in his dantian condensed.
Previously, when Chu Nan was studying the cores of the Four-Winged Golden Crow and the Red Tumor Mountain Beast, he could absorb experience from their cores and reference the structure and fluctuations of the spatial energy in their cores to simulate the condensation of a new star cloud. However, it was impossible for him to do this through the core of the Three-Ringed Mane Deer.
Not only was the spatial energy fluctuation in the Three-Ringed Mane Deer’s core extremely weak, the structure was also especially loose. In Chu Nan’s opinion, it was not a complete structure.
This perfectly proved why the Three-Ringed Mane Deer was cla.s.sified as the weakest among A-rank ferocious beasts, but it could not answer another question in Chu Nan’s mind.
Why did the energy fluctuation in the Three-Ringed Mane Deer’s core make him feel very similar to Internal Breath?
When he recalled that Hasol had introduced the Three-Ringed Mane Deer previously and emphasized that the core of the Three-Ringed Mane Deer was what those low-level martial artists needed the most because it could help them strengthen their Internal Breath, Chu Nan’s heart stirred. He threw away the core that had completely erupted with energy and lost its l.u.s.ter under the stimulation of his Internal Breath and lowered his head to take out another from his leather bag. After hesitating for a moment, he threw it into his mouth and swallowed it.
