"Silly boy, do me a favor and cut open its belly." Haoran and Xiaoyun both had low strength, so they had to leave the job of disembowelling it to the Lord of Ghosts and Souls.
"Yes, Master!" Silly Boy also rose to level 30 after the battle, and his attributes improved by leaps and bounds. With just a slight slip of the ghost claw, the lizard beast's belly was cut open.
Haoran couldn't resist smelling the pungent smell of blood. He reached in, fiddled with it twice, took out a red object the size of a face plate, and handed it to Xiaoyun.
"I don't want it, it's so scary." Xiaoyun is a girl after all. When she saw the bloodshot eyes and veins on her heart, she was scared to death. She waved her hands repeatedly and said, "The same goes for you if you keep it."
"Okay then." Haoran didn't embarrass her and put the mission item directly into the package. Then, his hands continued to fumble on the body of the lizard beast.
"Ding, player Kuangsheng Xiaobai, you use the robbery technique on the corpse of the lizard beast to get the giant lizard essence x1. The giant lizard essence can be used by pets, and there is a 50% chance that the pet will randomly realize a one-star
Magic skills."
"What good thing?" Xiaoyun also came up curiously, staring blankly at the gray ball in Haoran's hand.
"For pets." Haoran generously shared the attributes with Xiaoyun.
"I really envy you. How did you get that robbery technique? You are really born with unstoppable luck." Xiaoyun sighed for a while.
"The success rate is only 50%. If you don't know, it will be in vain." Haoran waved to the silly boy, handed it the giant lizard essence and said: "How to use this thing, do you know?"
"Master, I understand." A hint of joy suddenly appeared on the silly boy Gujing Mubo's face, and he swallowed the gray ball into his stomach.
"Is it that simple?" Haoran looked at all this with some confusion.
"It doesn't seem that easy, Xiaobai, look..." Situ Muyun stared at Haoran's pet with some worry.
After the giant lizard essence entered the throat, it suddenly seemed to have independent consciousness, walking through the silly boy's translucent body like a living creature. At the same time, the body of the ghost dead soul owner also produced a wave of energy on its own.
The gray energy flow kept blocking the giant lizard spirit, trying to imprison it. For a moment, the two energies were unable to endure anything, and fell into a stalemate.
"Master... I need to recuperate," Silly Boy suddenly said with a look of pain on his face: "The energy is too strong, I need to retreat to refine it."
"How can I help?" Haoran asked quickly. Now the Lord of Ghosts and Souls is the biggest trump card in his hand, and he will never allow any mistakes.
"No, but I may not be able to come out and fight for my master for a while." Silly Boy said apologetically. After all, the giant lizard's level was much higher than his, and it was not sure how long it would take to refine this essence.
"Don't worry about the battle. Just settle down and sort out the internal problems in your body." Haoran said with concern: "Go back to the pet space quickly. I'm fine here."
"Yeah." The silly boy nodded, and his figure disappeared into the air.
Haoran opened the panel to check, and sure enough, the silly boy's portrait in the pet column temporarily turned gray, and there was a series of countdown data underneath - 72 hours.
"Will your pet be okay?" Xiaoyun looked at Haoran with some worry. After experiencing the fierce battle just now, she naturally understood how terrifying this little ghost was.
Haoran shook his head. He didn't know what harm this fusion would bring to the silly boy if it failed.
"Let's wait three days to see the results." After saying that, he took out the Snake King dagger again and carefully dug out all the nails and teeth on the four feet of the Lizard Beast.
"Why do you need these things?" Xiaoyun asked puzzledly.
"I promised Ruo'er." Haoran's expression suddenly became sad. Thinking of Ruo'er's appearance just now, his heart ached.
"That beautiful NPC?" Xiaoyun nodded clearly. The scene where the two of them parted ways just now was indeed very shocking.
"Hmm..." Mentioning Ruo'er, Haoran fell into deep thought again - it would be great if she were a real person.
While he was dazed, a low moan brought him back to his senses.
"It's Duke Nicholas!" Haoran was overjoyed. The old man with a hoarse voice was definitely the old man! The fierce battle just now prevented them from finding the whereabouts of the old Duke. They didn't expect that it would take no effort at all.
"That's where the sound came from." Xiaoyun pointed at a pile of branches and broken leaves twenty meters to the east of them.
"Go and have a look." Before Haoran could finish his words, he had already rushed out.
Nicholas' magnanimity and sacrificial character just now left an indelible impression on him. Now that he had a clue, Haoran was naturally very excited.
Pushing aside the pile of messy branches and leaves, the old man's scarred body was exposed. When he heard the noise, his eyes that had been closed turned over with great effort, but his eyelids finally dropped weakly.
His body was covered with bone-deep wounds, and blood was constantly flowing. From his trembling body and the intermittent moans coming from his mouth, Haoran could imagine that the old man was suffering from a kind of pain.
What kind of pain.
It would be great if Qingqing were here. She is a priest and she will definitely be able to restore some health to the old man! Haoran suddenly felt a heart-wrenching discomfort. If he hadn't saved himself and others, the old Duke wouldn't have been so seriously injured.
He hurriedly took out a lot of life potion from the package, opened the bottle cap, and poured it on the old man's body as if for free. The potion flowed through and the bleeding temporarily stopped, but the old man's face was still very pale and closed.
I still didn't have the strength to open my eyes.
"Let's go back to the city quickly. When we get to Wangyue City, let Qingqing treat him quickly." Situ Muyun checked the old man's injury. Although it was serious, the bleeding had stopped. As long as we rushed back to Wangyue City in time, there would still be hope.
A glimmer of hope."
"Send a message to Qingqing and ask her to rush here now and try to meet us on the way." After Haoran finished speaking, he carefully carried the old man on his back, as if he were caring for a fragile piece of porcelain.
"Yeah." Xiaoyun didn't delay and immediately sent a message to Lan Qingjue.
"Got it, I'll leave immediately." After receiving the news, Qingqing, who was in the blacksmith shop of Wangyue City, said nothing, grabbed the cowboy and left the city, hurried in their direction.
"Let's go, we can hide from those mantises in the Forest of Despair. If we really can't hide..." Haoran has reached level 30 at this time, and those giant mantises can already be displayed on the map of the Eagle Eye Technique, with red dots distributed everywhere.
It's not very dense, so it shouldn't be difficult to avoid it.
"If you really can't escape, leave it to me to solve it." Xiaoyun said with a faint smile. After leveling up several levels and learning a new three-star magic, her confidence has skyrocketed. If she has to send the old Duke to receive treatment quickly,
She really wanted to take the initiative to find some mantis monsters to practice one-on-one.
