Chapter 265: a small interlude

“milky way, it’s your turn to help.”

fifteen minutes later, with the three-eyed demon ape as the main force and the lightning blade mantis as the secondary force, the battle against the thunder scorpion couple came to an end.

as the other party’s strength was too high, bai wushang had already warned ah zhou not to hold back and to kill him with all his might.

he would just treat it as xiao ci’s super nutritious meal and store it.

after confirming that the two lightning scorpions were dead, bai wushang approached the battlefield.

the little rabbit in his arms also popped its head out and jumped to the ground, scuttling in front of the three-eyed demon ape.

“ya! he’s seriously injured!”

the little rabbit glanced at it and saw that there were many places on the big guy’s body that were surrounded by blue electric arcs, making strange crackling sounds.

its legs were a little unsteady because the second lightning scorpion had used the explosive lightning spike to penetrate its right leg before it died. it had just recovered half of its strength with the help of its precious blood.

however, physical injuries could heal on their own.

the corrosion of lightning was quite troublesome.

it wasn’t that they couldn’t endure it.

ah zhou’s body was strong and he could do it, but he was destined to endure the pain for a long time.

if an ordinary master did not have a specific support pet, they could only rely on potions or special relics to heal. these were all losses and additional costs.

fortunately, the little rabbit’s skill was powerful enough, and the enhanced moonlight baptism could be of great use, saving bai wushang a lot of money.

“biu~~~”

a jade-white pillar of moonlight shot toward the three-eyed demon ape’s chest, and the numbing moonlight energy spread in all directions.

as a result, the blue electric arc was constantly suppressed, stripped, and eliminated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

after dealing with the most seriously injured big guy, the little rabbit looked at the silver-gray praying mantis.

however, the other party did not even look at it.

it raised a pair of cool electric scythes and moved close to the two lightning scorpions, almost drooling.

“hmph, hmph, what a glutton! he’s hopeless!”

the little rabbit shook its head in a human-like manner.

big bug was still bleeding, but he seemed to feel nothing. all he could see was food.

however, it had performed well in the battle just now.

the way he killed with all his might was even a little beyond the little rabbit’s knowledge.

hence, milky way only showed a little disdain and immediately used moon healing on the lightning blade mantis.

it was a coincidence that when he was helping the big guy, he just had to get rid of the power of lightning.

as for the rest of the injuries, he could rely on himself to recover.

xiao ci was the exact opposite. it was not affected by the power of lightning.

he could even absorb the lightning energy from his opponent to recharge himself and increase his endurance.

however, its lightning electromagnetic field was no longer an advantage, and the lightning scorpion could easily break through it.

there were many wounds on his body, and purplish-red blood kept flowing out.

as if sensing that her wound was healing, xiao ci finally turned her head and blinked her big innocent eyes at sister rabbit.

then, he looked at bai wushang with eager eyes.

“eat, eat, take it easy, don’t overeat.”

bai wushang held his forehead, a trace of helplessness on his face.

“thunderbolt!”

xiao ci was overjoyed. she stabbed the knife into the lightning scorpion’s broken shell and held it firmly.

the other knife chopped down and broke the lightning armor into pieces. like cutting a steak, he began to gnaw with relish.

it only took 20 minutes.

almost half of the lightning scorpion, which was larger than xiao ci, was in its stomach.

“full … power reserve (120%)… charging …”

bai wushang observed for a moment. the lightning blade mantis’s power of lightning could always be stored in overload.

at its peak, it could even exceed 150%, obtaining an increase in the power of all skills and a longer endurance.

of course, it was best to use up this extra power within a certain period of time.

otherwise, even if he didn’t move, his energy would be consumed quickly until he recovered 100%.

the search continued.

by the afternoon of the second day, bai wushang had captured the fifth lightning scorpion, which was exactly the middle stage of the mature stage that he needed.

he wasn’t in a hurry to cook the recipe, as the effect of the item seeking compass had not ended.

if he caught one more within the time limit, he would have one or two more energy meals.

bai wushang was prepared to maximize the use of resources to obtain the highest return.

during this time, two small incidents happened.

one was the second night, when he was hunting the sixth lightning scorpion, he accidentally attracted an unfamiliar freelance mercenary.

a total of two people, after discovering bai wushang who was alone, they used their confidence in their own strength.

they harbored evil intentions and wanted to do something like killing people and stealing goods.

bai wushang suspected that they had seen a three-eyed demon ape in the middle stage of its mature form, as well as a cute creature that looked like a moon rabbit.

judging that his strength was on the weak side, the two of them could easily take it down if they joined forces.

as it turned out, their pets were not weak.

all of them were in the late-stage of the mature stage, and their bloodline quality ranged from 2 stars to 3 stars of the elite level.

in addition, with the combination of two power attacks, one agility attack, and one control, the fault tolerance was quite good.

this was the first time bai wushang had faced such a situation alone.

however, it was not rare for him to gain enlightenment from his past.

killing people and snatching their treasures was one of the fastest ways to earn money.

not to mention that this desolate underground tunnel was useless.

wasn’t it a good place to kill for money and hide corpses?

bai wushang didn’t show any mercy.

first, he let ah zhou pretend to be alone, and then he summoned xiao ci at the critical moment.

while the other party was extremely shocked by the identity of the self-awakened, as well as the disbelief of the ancient species.

it was like two tigers killing four sheep. the opponent’s pets and master were all killed in one fell swoop.

after checking their storage rings, bai wushang found some clues about their identities.

he was probably a refugee-like figure, without any roots or depths, and was not a cause for concern.

on the other hand, the four pet corpses, as well as the various ores, jewelry, talismans, and potions in the ring, were worth a total of 120000 gold coins, which allowed bai wushang to make a small fortune.

as for the second incident, it happened on the morning of the third day.

that was the eighth lightning scorpion. he had successfully lured the snake out of its hole.

but bai wushang was surprised to find out.

the other party’s life level had reached the peak of the mature stage, and the quality of his bloodline was 4-star elite. he had undergone a perfect evolution.

this phenomenon was relatively rare. the natural growth span was perfect, and the probability was much lower than that of a master raising it personally.

bai wushang was very clear that even if one man and three beasts were to join forces against a powerful enemy of this level, they would still be too powerless.

thus, he didn’t fight it head-on. after forcefully recalling the three-eyed demon ape, he rode on the lightning blade mantis and used his speed advantage to pull away from the lightning scorpion.

……

it wasn’t until the morning of the fourth day that the item seeking compass lost its effect.

bai wushang counted his gains. there were a total of nine lightning scorpions, which could support xiao ci’s food for more than half a month.

he heaved a sigh of relief and was quite satisfied with this result.

” it’s time to make a recipe. i wonder if i can trigger the profound meaning of food … ”

he found a dry, semi-sealed pit and let xiao ci and ah zhou out to protect him.

remove the glove part of the thunder-imperial armor.

this kind of multi-body protective equipment could be separated into any sub-structure.

in exchange, only partial holes would appear and the overall defense would be lowered. the armor would not lose its value completely.

taking out dozens of cooking tools, bai wushang activated the secret technique of the culinary god, white crystal jade hands, and quickly assumed the identity of a chef.
