Chapter 49: Flesh Regeneration

On the battlefield, the fight between the insect and the ape continued.

There was a gaping bloody wound on the Demon Ape’s abdomen, and the Sharp Blade Beetle had no other changes other than its shell being more potholed.

Seeing that the two sides had increased the distance between them after one round, Bai Wushang seized the opportunity and shouted,

“Ah Zhou, catch it!”

He threw out a king jujube with all his might. The Demon Ape reacted very quickly and caught it with a light jump.

“Eat it, it can replenish your qi and blood!”

Hearing Bai Wushang’s voice, Ah Zhou stuffed the king jujube into its mouth without thinking and chewed it randomly.

On the other side, the Sharp Blade Beetle naturally saw what it was.

It instantly went berserk, as if it had been robbed of its wife. It first let out two whooshing sounds, then flapped its wings fiercely and rushed into the sky over ten meters high, diving towards Bai Wushang.

Single Blade Straight Stab!

The Sharp Blade Beetle was full of anger as it made the attack!

Under its extraordinary performance, its speed was even faster than usual! Its strength was even fiercer than usual!

Bai Wushang only felt that he was firmly locked onto by a blade ray. The ice-cold killing intent penetrated through his heart, and he had the illusion that he could not avoid it no matter what.

In an instant, his scalp went numb and cold sweat drenched his clothes.

He instinctively wanted to dodge to the side, but it seemed that it was too late. The blade ray was about to land on his body…

“Pu!!!”

He could hear the sound of the blade cutting through his body.

Bai Wushang’s mind went blank. He waited for two or three seconds, but the expected sharp pain did not come.

His scattered gaze focused again. In his eyes, he saw a black figure standing in front of him without moving at all.

Demon Ape, Ah Zhou!

A blade tip pierced through the Demon Ape’s majestic body just like that. Blood splattered, landing on Bai Wushang’s face, but it was still warm.

At that moment, Bai Wushang’s mind was in turmoil. It was as if something had exploded together: at a loss, helpless, angry, worried, surprised, surprised, touched… countless emotions interweaved and collided. In the end, there was only one thing left —

Fear!

Yes, he was afraid.

Fear that Ah Zhou had died just like that.

He was afraid that his pet beast companion, whom he had spent five days with, had died protecting him!

Bai Wushang’s breathing was rapid, and his heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out of his throat.

He was slightly trembling as he walked to the front of the Demon Ape.

At this moment, Ah Zhou’s face was full of malevolence. Its right hand was tightly holding onto the sharp horn of the Sharp Blade Beetle. Even if the blade cut into its palm three to four centimetres deep, it would never let go.

Bright red blood flowed continuously along its arm, dyeing its black hair red.

Bai Wushang heaved a sigh of relief because he saw clearly that the Sharp Blade Beetle had stabbed into the center of the Demon Ape’s abdomen. Moreover, as Ah Zhou had fixed the blade with its hand, the blade could not move, so its injury was still considered stable.

For the current Ah Zhou, as long as the intact left heart and head were fine, there was still room for recovery.

After calming down a little, Bai Wushang turned to look at the attribute panel in his pupils–

[Status]: Injured/Self-recovery/Heart Exhaustion (one)…

“Weird, didn’t Ah Zhou ea the king jujube? Why isn’t there any reaction?”

Bai Wushang was a little puzzled.

“Is one not enough? But the hematopoietic ability of one is already very abnormal. I was worried that Ah Zhou wouldn’t be able to digest it after eating too much, so I didn’t dare to give him more… looks like I still can’t treat the extreme species with conventional standards…”

After thinking for a while, seeing that the Sharp Blade Beetle’s sharp weapon was inserted into the Demon Ape’s chest, which indirectly meant that it had lost its mobility, Bai Wushang immediately took out the second king jujube and stuffed it into Ah Zhou’s mouth.

Ah Zhou used all its strength to wrestle with the Sharp Blade Beetle while crunching the king jujube.

Not long after, a wisp of faint steam rose from the top of its head.

Bai Wushang reached out to touch it and found that the surface temperature of the Demon Ape’s body was astonishingly high, and it was still rising rapidly.

“Roar!”

Ah Zhou suddenly roared in excitement, and a pink flesh sprout emerged from the section of its left arm.

“Flesh Regeneration! The second heart has recovered!” Bai Wushang was pleasantly surprised.

“Hohoho! Hohoho!”

The Sharp Blade Beetle had a vague premonition. It desperately twitched its head horn and struggled free.

The Demon Ape grabbed Bai Wushang with one hand and quickly retreated.

In the meantime, its left hand, left eye and left horn, including the pierced wound on its chest, began to wriggle.

Bai Wushang knew that it was Ah Zhou who was urging the speed of ‘Flesh Regeneration’ with all its might. The price was that it would consume the blood in its heart quickly. By the time it recovered from all the wounds on its body, it would probably fall into the state of ‘Blood Loss’ again.

This state was slightly better than ‘Heart Exhaustion’. However, it was not suitable to use ‘Burning Blood’. It would not last long after it was activated. Instead, it would be more harmful to its body.

“Ho!”

The Sharp Blade Beetle dived over once again. The blade above its head reflected a dim bloody light.

“Roar!!!”

Ah Zhou put down Bai Wushang and turned around to look at the Sharp Blade Beetle. Its face was full of excitement.

A strong fighting spirit gushed out from the Demon Ape’s body.

Its left eye opened again and its vision was widened. In contrast, its ability to adapt to changes was greatly improved!

Its left arm had completely grown, and it looked a little pink and tender. Its hair was a little sparse, but it was finally no longer waving its single arm. The way it attacked had more than doubled!

Its abdomen, chest, legs, back… every part of its body, including some hidden injuries, had all been healed. The Demon Ape once again felt the complete strength of its physical body, that kind of confidence…! How could it not be in an uproar?!

With a stomp of its legs, Ah Zhou suddenly jumped up.

With this leap, it saw the opportunity and directly jumped over the height of the Sharp Blade Beetle’s dive in midair.

It clenched its fists with both hands and smashed down with great force.

Collapsing Mountain Fist!!!

“Bang –”

With a heavy collision sound, the Sharp Blade Beetle’s body was inevitably slapped onto the ground. Two clear dents were left on the thick and heavy yellow carapace.

Without giving it a chance to react and struggle, Ah Zhou circled to the back of the Sharp Blade Beetle, holding its body with one hand and grabbing the beetle’s long legs with the other, pulling it with force.

In one move, the Sharp Blade Beetle’s right three legs were mercilessly torn off by Ah Zhou.

“Hohoho!”

The Sharp Blade Beetle let out a short shriek, desperately twisting the long thorn on its head, trying to turn around.

Its strength was very great, and before this, it could fight against the one-armed Demon Ape for a long time.

But now, with an extra arm, how could Ah Zhou be limited to purely competing in strength?

Before the Sharp Blade Beetle could break free, Ah Zhou suddenly pulled open its back shell and tore off the colourful transparent wings.

Then, it wrapped its arms around it and threw it on its back.

The Sharp Blade Beetle’s abdomen was facing the sky, and it was completely overturned on the ground. The remaining three legs of the beetle bared their fangs and brandished their claws, but they looked so pale and powerless.

“Ah Zhou, who has all four limbs, is so terrifying…”
