Peerless Fierce Beast

Gu Qi relied on his unique innate ability to temporarily scare off the White-Eyed Demon Tiger. Luckily, the White Eyed Tiger's intelligence wasn't high; if it was a Nine-Armed Demon Ape, then with Gu Qi's current strength, he'd absolutely be unable to scare it off.

However, even then, Gu Qi still paid an enormous price.

Don't look at him as if he's fine. In fact, he was just pretending. The claw of the White-Eyed Tiger had indeed heavily injured him. If it wasn't for the body he had modified and the position of his heart not moving, he would already be a dead man.

"Hurry up and leave. The White Eyed Tiger will react very soon. It knows that I was only trying to scare it." If I don't leave now, I really won't be able to make it out alive. "

Gu Qi staggered and almost fell.

Chen Qingluan cried out in alarm and hurriedly went forward to support him. With concern, she asked, "How are you?"

"I'm fine. I'm just a bit weak. Hurry up and go. "That's right, dig out the monster cores of those beast soldiers. I will need to use those monster cores to heal my wounds later."

Chen Qingluan nodded and subconsciously listened to his arrangements.

This was mainly because the scene of Gu Qi shouting at the White-Eyed Tiger to retreat was too shocking. Even now, Chen Qingluan and the others hadn't fully recovered from their shock. In their eyes, Gu Qi had become a bit more profound and unfathomable.

The two female disciples dug out the magic cores and the group quickly left. In one breath, they arrived at the edge of the Dawnshroud Mountain Range. In front of them, they could vaguely make out the outline of the town, which was why they stopped.

Mainly because Gu Qi's injuries were already on the verge of collapsing, otherwise, the safest thing would be to directly return to Blackrock City and rest.

"This place is no longer within the magical beast territory, they don't dare to rashly chase us."

Chen Qingluan helped Gu Qi up to a large tree and asked, "How about, I help you heal?"

When Gu Qi heard this, his expression slightly changed. He didn't know if his own secret would be revealed, so after thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, "No need to trouble yourself. As long as I have a Magic Core, I can heal myself."

"Is that so?"

A hint of suspicion flashed in Chen Qingluan's eyes. At this moment, she had already completely calmed down and felt that Gu Qi was not simple at all. It was impossible for him to be an ordinary country bumpkin.

How could an ordinary mountain villager instantly awaken his spirit and even summon the magic?

How could an ordinary country bumpkin not change his expression after being struck by the heart attack of the White-Eyed Demon Tiger, and even order him to retreat with a single word?

How could an ordinary mountain villager know how to use a monster core to heal an injury if they had never experienced cultivation before?

"You … Just who is it? "

When Gu Qi saw Chen Qingluan's expression, he immediately understood that his chain of actions had aroused her suspicions. She was a smart woman.

However, in that situation just now, if he didn't make a move, even his own life would be in danger.

However, it was fortunate that Gu Qi wasn't completely unprepared for Chen Qingluan's suspicions.

He looked into Chen Qingluan's eyes and earnestly said, "I am just an ordinary person. It's just because I spent too much time in the forest, that I understand some of the language of magical beasts." "Just now, that White-Eyed Demon Tiger saw me as a humanoid but spoke the words of a magical beast. It naturally thought that I was some top grade magical beast that could take human form and was scared away."

"As for my recovery ability, this is a talent that I had since I was young. Because of this, I can use my Monster Core to heal my wounds. This is about my privacy, and I can't tell you the truth. "

"I have absolutely no ill intentions towards you or your Chen Clan. Everything I said before was true. If you don't believe me, I can leave by myself. "

Although Gu Qi's words were a bit untruthful, there was one thing he didn't lie about.

He truly had no ill intentions towards Chen Qingluan and the Chen Clan. He only wanted to find a place to settle down and live.

Thus, when he said those words, his eyes were honest and pure, without the slightest hint of evasion.

Chen Qingluan looked at him and pondered for a while. She also felt that there was no need for Gu Qi to lie to her. Moreover, he had saved them just now, so it wasn't right for her to be so suspicious.

"I'm sorry, I was overthinking things. "How about this, you heal yourself first, I'll guard you nearby."

"Thank you very much."

Gu Qi glanced at her gratefully. He knew that this was the time that he had truly obtained Chen Qingluan's trust.

Chen Qingluan led the two female disciples and left them at a distance of ten zhang away to protect the protector. The reason why they were so far away was because they didn't want Gu Qi to have any worries.

After all, he had just said that he had his own secrets and didn't want anyone else to know about it.

Although Chen Qingluan was a woman, she was still an upright and magnanimous person. She respected the privacy of others and disdained to do things like peek.

This point caused Gu Qi's favorable impression of her to increase greatly once again.

"Magical beasts are naturally more tyrannical than humans, but because of this, their cultivation speed is much slower than humans. In order to make up for this deficiency, other than normal cultivation, demon beasts can also directly absorb the profound energy in their bodies and strengthen themselves by consuming their own kind of monster cores! "

"These two monster cores are the energy essence of three star Demon Soldiers. After I absorb and refine them, not only will I be able to immediately gain wisdom, I might even be able to break through to a one star profound practitioner!"

Thinking up to here, Gu Qi didn't hesitate any longer and directly swallowed the two demon cores into his mouth, then he was corroded by the strong acidic liquid within his body and instantly turned into a strand of refined profound energy.

At this moment, Gu Qishao unexpectedly discovered that although his second innate skill, Acidic Erosion Breath, didn't have any offensive power, it was still useful.

For example, when refining the monster core, the acid could quickly dissolve the shell on the monster core's surface and also purify the Xuan Energy inside it. This would not only save him a lot of refining time, but would also have a better absorption effect!
