Bizarre Shapes
Competition is fierce among ferocious beasts, and they often demarcate their own territories. Few beasts can gather together without disputes.
Chimon Hagrid's mention of more than ten ferocious beasts gathered together was indeed unexpected.
Even Zhang Xuezhou felt that things were a bit outrageous.
What factors contribute to the gathering of ferocious beasts?
Ren Anran asked in a low voice, which made Zhang Xuezhou shake his head to indicate that he did not know the situation.
Zhang Xuezhou visited Qinmeng only a limited number of times, explored only a limited area, and knew only a limited amount of information.
Even though Zhang Xuezhou had seen ferocious beasts and determined that some of them were similar to demons, and even possessed the ability to stand upright, refine demonic artifacts, and change forms, Zhang Xuezhou still couldn't figure out Qin Meng's situation.
The Qin-Meng region, once home to a vast empire, has been destroyed. The entire territory is now inhabited by strange and ferocious beasts unlike those in other regions, and there are also occurrences of beast tides and fire meteors. Zhang Xuezhou has yet to discover the truth of the matter.
Zhang Xuezhou's needs for the Qin-Meng region are very simple.
He wanted to follow the path of sequence to enhance his resistance to mental shocks, or find the Qin Meng Secret Stone, which is a large piece of spiritual jade, to fill the gaps in his cultivation of Realm Technique.
All of his actions were solely for personal gain and personal strength, and he hoped to break free from the trap set by the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon on his body. As for what would happen to Qin Meng, that was not Zhang Xuezhou's concern.
Even if the sky falls, there's always someone taller to hold it up; at least Naggus seemed more anxious and worried than Zhang Xuezhou.
"Let's see if we can launch a surprise attack," Zhang Xuezhou whispered. "If there are no dragons or elephants among the ferocious beasts, we can skip the surprise attack and just try our luck somewhere else!"
The main reason Zhang Xuezhou saved Chimon Hagrid was due to the R-series catalyst, not because Chimon Hagrid could indicate the location of the ferocious beast.
His search for ferocious beasts relied more on luck.
Now that he had reunited with Zuo Teng and taken the lucky jewelry from him, Zhang Xuezhou felt much more confident.
If the beast groups that Chimon Hagrid knew of were too risky, Zhang Xuezhou would choose to abandon them directly and would not bother to investigate the reasons for the beasts gathering together.
"Old Hagrid, since you've seen those ferocious beasts, you should know what types of beasts they are, right?" Changkong Luo asked.
"You definitely won't believe me if I told you," Chimmon Hagrid retorted. "I don't want to tell you!"
"I definitely believe you. As long as you say it, I will choose to believe you unconditionally," Changkong Luo guaranteed.
"If I told you that I had seen two-legged tigers, and also four-legged, eight-legged, and strangely large-mouthed, long-nosed, and winged tigers, some as big as small mountains and others no thicker than a human body, would you choose to believe me or not?" Chimman Hagrid asked.
"Are they all tigers?"
Changkong Luo taken aback.
He originally thought that Zuo Teng's paintings were outrageous enough, but what he learned from Chim Hager was even more outrageous.
"Where did all these strange and ferocious tiger-like beasts come from?" Changkong Luo in disbelief.
"See? You don't believe me at all!"
Chimon Haig had an expression that said he had expected this, indicating that Changkong Luo's guarantee was completely unreliable.
He coughed a few times, then took the nutritional supplement Ren Yisheng handed him and drank the viscous liquid mixture down his throat as if it were water.
With his body no longer damaged or injured, and the strength of his resistance layer filling his body again, but lacking sufficient pressure devices, Chimon Haig can only administer medication orally now, as it is no longer possible to inject it into his bloodstream as before.
He gulped down the nutritional supplements, feeling as if his body was parched and cracked, with a light drizzle constantly replenishing it.
Only those who have actually witnessed someone from the Seventh Sequence break through the sequence, or those who themselves belong to the Eighth Sequence, can accurately judge the situation of Chimon Haig.
To be honest, Chimman Hagrid himself hadn't even figured out his own body's condition, making it difficult to be sure whether he had truly reached the Eighth Sequence.
He needs a stable environment and a full physical recovery before he can verify this.
It's rare for a top-tier Sequence Holder to end up like him; he might be the most humiliated Eighth Sequence member, but Chimmon Hagrid didn't feel anything strange about it.
Changkong Luo is a formidable opponent from the past, Zhou Rihui is the son of his old friend Zhou Xin, and Zhang Xuezhou is a business partner.
Of the remaining man and woman, ignoring the woman who was close to Zhang Xuezhou, the man was particularly noticeable to Qi Menghaige.
Even though Chimon Haig was talking to Changkong Luo, he keenly sensed that the other party's status was no weaker than Changkong Luo's, and even put Changkong Luo at a disadvantage.
But this person had been performing surgery on him for the past few days, repeatedly prolonging his dying body, and Chimmon Hagrid even sensed that the other party seemed to have used some means to maintain his sanity.
This left Chimman Hagrid racking his brains, but he still couldn't figure out who this person was.
He gave Ren Yisheng an awkward smile, then shook the empty bottle of one-liter nutritional supplement.
"Can we still drink it?" Ren Yisheng asked.
"Yes, definitely," Chimman Hagrid replied quickly.
I wasn't asking you!
Ren Yisheng shook his head, then turned his head back to look at Zhang Xuezhou.
"He shouldn't die right now," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"Then I won't drink it!"
Ren Yisheng nodded, indicating that he understood.
"What do you mean? What do you mean by this?" Chimmon Hagrid shouted. "I'm sick, shouldn't you be giving me more nutritional supplements? Why are you just refusing to give me any?"
"We came to Qinmeng to hunt ferocious beasts, not specifically to treat you, Qimeng Haige," Changkong Luo said irritably. "Once you use up all these nutritional supplements, we'll be left to die from our injuries caused by the beasts!"
"Then I won't drink it!"
Chimmon Hagrid dejectedly agreed, then vigorously emptied the empty bottle and licked it clean.
His belly was already swollen and full, but his body was burning like dry tinder, making Chimon Haig feel that he could still drink ten more bottles of high-quality nutritional supplements.
"Little Zhang, are you in charge of the pharmaceuticals on this ship? You secretly slipped a few bottles to the old man, and he traded them for R33 catalyst with you!"
After Chimon Haig managed to get up and land, he stumbled and stood up, then leaned close to Zhang Xuezhou's ear and whispered something.
"I've met Zuo Teng; he has the reaction formula for R33," Zhang Xuezhou said, shaking his head. "You should know he's my partner; if he has it, it's the same as me having it!"
"That brat is a born bad seed. Be careful when you work with him," Chimmon Hagrid said.
"You're already at the Eighth Sequence, why are you worried about Zuo Teng's only at the Third Sequence?" Zhang Xuezhou laughed.
"You have no idea how that brat slashed me piece by piece," Chimmon Hagrid said with lingering fear. "He spurred me to my senses, saving me from the high risk of dying from my injuries, but he couldn't heal my physical wounds. I was left in a state where I could neither live nor die. I'm grateful to him for saving my life, but I'll hate that Little Wang for the rest of my life!"
"Where did he get those cuts on your body?!"
"My liver, my very heart, was ripped apart by him, piece by piece!"
Let me see your heart!
Chim Hagrid ultimately did not allow Zhang Xuezhou to verify the non-existent wounds on his body.
Just as his severe injuries seemed like a dream, Zuo Teng left no trace of the wounds he sustained.
But just like his now aged and emaciated body, Chimonhager still harbored the shadow cast by Zuo Teng in his mind.
This is something that should not happen at the sequence level, let alone affect someone as resolute as Chimmon Hagrid, but the shadow of this event has indeed lingered.
