Chapter 129 Star Soul Beast Core

After hearing Xiao Chong's explanation, the Situ siblings were shocked and remained silent for a long time.

After a while, Situ Mingyue calmed down a bit and asked in confusion, "But the beast tide has already receded, so why do we still need to run away?"

Xiao Chong couldn't explain this problem. He didn't want anyone other than Hengshan to know that he had cultivated the path of the Mind Master and could communicate with wild beasts.

This is my trump card; it can only be effective if used unexpectedly. If it becomes common knowledge, it will be detrimental to future battles.

Therefore, Xiao Chong replied irresponsibly, "This beast tide will not end easily. Don't ask how I know, I won't answer anyway. In any case, I'm leaving the Southern Wilderness, and I must leave by noon tomorrow at the latest."

As fellow natives of Flying Moon City, we've known each other for a while. Before we leave, I must offer you both a word of advice: pack your belongings quickly and escape as fast as you can.

"What should we do? Should we run away with them?" Situ Mingyue couldn't make the decision on such a big matter, so she turned her gaze to her brother, her expression full of inquiry.

"Hmph, alarmist talk! He's just scared and trying to find an excuse for his retreat at the last minute." Situ Jiannan sneered disdainfully, not believing Xiao Chong's words at all.

After the nosebleed incident and comparing it with the other party's previous behavior, he felt that Xiao Chong's character was very questionable and that every word he said was a lie.

"That's all I have to say. Believe it or not, it's up to you." Xiao Chong didn't care about Situ Jiannan's sneer at all. "I still need to seize the time to cultivate. Once I feel a little better, I'll set off immediately."

Situ Jiannan sneered again and said to Situ Mingyue, "See? This is a sign of a guilty conscience."

Hmm, you're getting more and more excited, aren't you? We're familiar with each other, but not to the point where we can talk about anything. Anyway, I've done my best. What does it matter to me if you're determined to die?

"Have a safe journey, you two. We won't see you off!" Xiao Chong's face darkened, and he directly gave them the order to leave.

"Mingyue, let's go. Don't waste your breath on this coward." Situ Jiannan glanced at Xiao Chong with disdain, then pulled his sister away.

However, Situ Mingyue's opinion differed somewhat from her brother's. She had more contact with Xiao Chong and knew his character well.

Compared to other places, the Southern Wilderness is a bit dangerous, but it is also rich in gold. Its enormous allure is something that someone like Xiao Chong, who is obsessed with money, cannot resist.

"Perhaps he really discovered something was wrong? Otherwise, given his greedy nature, why would he be willing to leave?"

Moreover, Xiao Chong has always made accurate judgments, so that phrase "Have a safe journey"... is really too unlucky. Hopefully, it won't actually come true.

No, I need to talk to my brother when we get back. It's always better to be safe than sorry.

As Situ Mingyue followed her brother outside, she muttered to herself.

After the Situ siblings left, Xiao Chong thought for a moment, picked up a pen and ink, wrote a letter, and instructed Yin Feng to deliver it to Hengshan Mansion.

After being rescued by Yokoyama and brought back to the city, he remained unconscious for most of his time, and had not yet had a chance to tell Yokoyama the results of his communication with the Star Soul Beast.

Now that the beast tide has receded, Yokoyama must be feeling much more relaxed and preparing to make his mark in the Southern Wilderness. Since I intend to use Yokoyama as a bridge to the Yoko family, I must inform them of the true reason.

After seeing Yin Feng off, Xiao Chong began to focus on restoring his consciousness. He knew that escaping was physically demanding, and in his current weakened state, he would struggle to even walk two miles, let alone safely evacuate the Southern Wilderness.

However, time is now of the essence, and it is no longer suitable to cultivate in a step-by-step manner. Therefore, Xiao Chong decided to take an unconventional approach and try the beast core he obtained from the leader of the Star Soul Beast.

This was done on a basis, and was by no means a whimsical idea of ​​Xiao Chong's.

Everyone says you are what you eat, but didn't you see people in their past lives indulging in all sorts of gluttony, eating donkey penis, tiger penis, seal penis, whatever they could get their hands on? Why? Wasn't it because their kidneys were hollowed out by certain bad habits?

Xiao Chong took out the core of the Star Soul Beast and examined it from left to right in the sunlight, trying to find something different about it.

However, he was soon disappointed. The beast core was only the size of a pigeon egg, no different from ordinary beast cores, and even emitted a stronger bloody smell.

"Oh well, it's not like it's the first time I've eaten it. If the taste is a little off, so be it. I'll just have to bear with it." Xiao Chong frowned, closed his eyes, and threw the beast core into his mouth.

Gum!

The beast core was swallowed whole before it could be chewed up. Xiao Chong's expression was like that of Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit—eating without tasting it.

No effect? ​​This shouldn't be! After waiting for a long time, Xiao Chong couldn't detect anything unusual in his body, and he was greatly disappointed.

In desperation, just as he was about to use the [Forging God Chapter] to make up for his shortcomings through diligence, he suddenly felt an unstoppable aura rise from his abdomen and rush towards his brow with lightning speed.

The aura appeared so suddenly and was so powerful that it caught everyone off guard.

Attracted by the aura, the essence and blood in his body seemed to boil, and all of them gathered at the center of his forehead, turning into strands of mental energy.

The power of his mind continued to grow, and the speed increased.

At first, it was like droplets of water, then it turned into a trickle, and gradually it became like a waterfall, cascading down and impacting my nearly depleted mind.

Awesome! So awesome! Feeling his mental power surge and ascend like climbing a ladder to heaven, Xiao Chong's joy was beyond words.

That's about enough. My mind is already full; if this continues, it'll make me feel like I'm dying from pleasure. Xiao Chong tried to control the speed of his internal energy, wanting to stop it.

However, it simply couldn't be stopped; the speed of the blood circulation was accelerating, and the mental power was constantly increasing, filling the mind to the brim.

Enough! Enough already! In his terror, Xiao Chong screamed inwardly.

The formation of mental power continued, tenacious and unyielding, completely independent of Xiao Chong's will.

Boom!

His mental power finally reached its peak, and then crossed the critical point. A tearing pain instantly filled Xiao Chong's mind.

Xiao Chong fainted before he could make a sound.

While unconscious, Xiao Chong seemed to be having a dream. In the dream, the aura emanating from the beast core showed no intention of letting him go.

Although his own essence and blood no longer transformed into mental power, that aura was strengthening.

As the aura changed, the beast core shrank little by little, and spiritual power completely different from his own was continuously released from the beast core, nourishing his nearly exhausted divine consciousness in strands and threads.

Sensing the difference in this spiritual power, Xiao Chong's [Forging God Chapter] automatically activated again, scattering these spiritual powers, then recombining them, and finally assimilating them all.

This semi-conscious state lasted for most of the day until it was very late and the camp was lit up, at which point Xiao Chong slowly woke up.
