C135 Recover and Upgrade

Approximately half an hour later, Duanmu Kuang finally stopped running. He propped himself up on a protruding rock and panted heavily.

He had used all his strength in the run just now. There was no pause in between. He was now half dead tired, and his entire body was about to fall apart.

Moreover, the drawbacks of forcefully activating Bloodthirst also erupted at this moment. It made him incomparably weak. His current condition was very bad, and he was unable to exert any strength in his body. He couldn't even stand stably. Fortunately, this place was dozens of miles away from the old lair of the salamander. He did not have to worry about the salamander tracking him again. Otherwise, his life wouldn't be in danger.

"This... This is not the direction we came from. What is this place?" After his breathing calmed down a bit, Duanmu Kuang looked around him. Only then did he realize that he had accidentally run into a valley. Furthermore, the location of this place was not right. It was clearly in a completely different direction from the direction he had come from. There was a huge difference. They were in two completely different directions.

He had clearly run back in the direction he had come from earlier. Why had he come to such a place? He was extremely puzzled.

This was a nameless valley. Not a single blade of grass grew inside, making it seem bare and bare. Furthermore, there was no sound at all. It was unusually calm, and it was completely different from the scene of a group of Profound Beast roaring in the sky outside.

It was hard to imagine that there was actually such a quiet place in the Southern Ferocious Land, which was known as one of the most dangerous places in the Zhennan feud. There was not even a single Profound Beast inside. It was simply a good place for warriors to rest and rest.

However, this place was too quiet. There was no sound at all. It seemed very strange. Based on Duanmu Kuang's experience, this kind of place was either really safe or extremely dangerous.

"Should we stop here or not?" Duanmu Kuang was very conflicted. After thinking for a while, he finally decided to rest here for a while. Currently, his situation was very bad, and he couldn't go far. Furthermore, Chen Ling's injuries were very serious, so it wasn't appropriate for her to move around anymore. Staying here for a period of time seemed to be the only choice at the moment.

He took a step forward and started walking in the valley. Although this place looked calm and peaceful, there might be Profound Beast that would barge in at any time. Based on his current condition, even if it was the weakest Profound Beast... And easily take both of their lives. He was not at ease staying in such a place to rest. He wanted to find an ideal place to rest.

"Eh... there's a cave there."

There was no vegetation in the valley. It was very spacious and could be seen at a glance. Very quickly, he found a cave.

A black hole appeared abruptly in the spacious and quiet valley. It appeared in Duanmu Kuang's line of sight.

He became cautious and approached it carefully. If the valley was really dangerous, then the cave in front of him was undoubtedly the source of the danger. Because he had already seen the other places, so there was no danger at all. However, the valley was empty. There was no better place to settle down than this cave. It was obviously not his character to abandon it or not.

As if he was facing a great enemy, he used his Divine Sense to check the entrance twice. However, he was still worried. He picked up a few stones from the ground and threw them in to test them.

"Dong... Dong... Dong..."

Unexpectedly, the scene of the ferocious birds and beasts pouncing out did not appear. The cave was still quiet. Other than the sound of stones falling to the ground, there were no other sounds. It seemed that this was just an abandoned cave.

"There is no danger. Hehe..." Duanmu Kuang was delighted. There was no Profound Beast hiding in the cave. This was undoubtedly a good place to settle down. It was suitable for the two of them. He impatiently carried Chen Ling and walked in.

Once inside, the scenery was completely different. It looked like a dark cave outside, but it was brightly lit inside. There were luminous pearls hanging on the stone walls. They shone brightly, illuminating the cave as if it was daytime.

The cave was very large, like a castle. There were many passages leading into the distance. One could not see the end of it, and it was unknown where the end was.

However, Duanmu Kuang had no time to care about these things. He forcefully activated the second level of Bloodthirst. The consumption of his blood energy was much more severe than he had imagined. At this moment, he was still in a state of bloodthirst, and his blood energy was still disappearing. If he didn't remedy it in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After he laid Chen Ling flat on the ground, he sat down cross-legged and took out a small porcelain bottle. Inside was a Blood Returning Pill. It was the Blood Returning Pill he obtained from the auction in Nanling City. It could quickly recover blood energy.

"It's all up to you." Duanmu Kuang's eyes lit up. He poured out a handful of Blood Returning Pill and stuffed them all into his mouth.

The reason he dared to forcefully activate the second level of Bloodthirst was because he had a Blood Returning Pill on him. This could allow him to quickly recover his blood energy. In the past, whenever he activated Bloodthirst, he would eat one. After the Bloodthirst status was removed, he wouldn't feel weak at all. This pill had a good effect.

Right now, he didn't have much blood energy left, and he was almost completely exhausted. His body also began to feel numb because of the lack of blood energy. Without a doubt, the Blood Returning Pill had come in handy. It was like a candy that he directly swallowed.

The Blood Returning Pill entered his mouth and dissolved, turning into an endless stream of spring water in his body, quickly nourishing the blood energy that had dissipated.

"Hu..."

Duanmu Kuang let out a heavy breath, only then did he feel a little better. His body was like a dry paddy field meeting a heavy rain. He greedily absorbed the blood energy produced by the Blood Returning Pill. Slowly recovering, the situation also gradually became better.

However, he still did not dare to relax, because the most critical moment had yet to pass. According to past experiences, when the bloodthirsty state was removed, it would immediately consume a large amount of blood energy. This was the most dangerous.

Only by enduring that barrier would it truly be safe... If one could not withstand it, one would become a cripple at the very least, and in the worst case, one would die. There was no third possibility. The sequela of Bloodthirst was not that simple.

Duanmu Kuang poured out another batch of Blood Returning Pill and held it in his hand, quietly waiting for that moment to arrive.

"Ah..."

When the bloodthirsty state was removed, his blood was almost sucked out in an instant. The pain was too intense. Even though he was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but cry out in pain.

Suddenly, he lost all of his blood energy in an instant. His body seemed to have been injected with lead, becoming unusually heavy. Moreover, it was as if his entire body was being pierced by steel needles. It was incomparably painful.

This kind of feeling was too f * cking unbearable. Duanmu Kuang was in so much pain that he kept grinning. At the same time, he felt dizzy, and he almost couldn't open his eyes.

He did not dare to be neglectful. He hurriedly stuffed the Blood Returning Pill in his hand into his mouth. He forced himself to sit cross-legged and recover with the help of the Blood Returning Pill's medicinal strength.

After about an hour, he finally recovered completely. His face gradually turned from pale to rosy, and he once again became energetic and energetic.

"That was close." Duanmu Kuang opened his eyes. His eyes were bright and full of energy.

Before this, he really thought he was going to die. Luckily, he had made the right bet. The Blood Returning Pill had a very good effect on replenishing his blood and Qi. Now, he was full of energy and energy.

Furthermore, because of the battle with the salamander, his Yuan Qi had become even more condensed. During the recovery just now, he had unknowingly broken through to the Great Perfection of Innate Stage realm. This was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise to him.

"Haha... Looks like fighting is the best way to increase my cultivation realm. No wonder that old man always forced me to keep fighting. However, I like this kind of battle. " Duanmu Kuang was overjoyed and laughed like a blooming flower. The smile on his face was unusually bright.
