My Xiuxian painting style is not right

Chapter 176 Beauty and the Beast

Chen Yu hid behind a thick tree trunk and secretly observed the battle situation under the cover of leaves.

The "Beast Taming Manual" in his hand rustled in the night wind, but he didn't bother to turn the pages, staring at the scene in front of him without blinking.

Lin Qingxue flicked her jade fingers, and streams of ice-blue sword energy shot towards the giant rat like cold stars.

Wherever the sword energy passed, the grass and trees instantly froze into ice, and the air was filled with a biting cold.

Shangguan Wan'er controlled the flying sword, the silver light flashed, the sword body was as agile as a dragon, and she kept attacking the giant rat's weaknesses.

Luo Li was surrounded by cold air, and her palms flew, sending out icy winds that froze the ground around the giant rat into an ice field.

Liu Ruyan's red folding fan was also dancing vigorously. The phoenix pattern on the fan seemed to come alive, spewing out scorching flames that surrounded the giant rat.

Although the giant rat was huge in size, it gradually couldn't withstand the joint attack of the four beauties.

Its body was covered with wounds and it roared in pain, but its skin was tough and its vitality was strong, so it continued to attack the four beauties frantically.

"This...this is too exciting!" Chen Yu hid behind a tree, watching the fierce battle scene in front of him and muttered softly.

He took out a handful of melon seeds from his tattered bag and started cracking them, as if he was watching a wonderful performance.

"System, how do you use this beast taming technique? The book is so pedantic, I can't understand it at all!"

While eating melon seeds, Chen Yu asked the system for help in his mind.

The system's cold voice rang out in his mind: "The host needs to inject his own spiritual power into the 'Beast Taming Manual', activate the beast taming array within, and then direct the array's energy to the target spirit beast to tame it."

"So troublesome?" Chen Yu curled his lips, "Can't it be simpler?"

"No." The system replied briefly.

Chen Yu sighed helplessly, put down the melon seeds in his hand, and injected his spiritual power into the "Beast Taming Manual".

I saw golden lines appearing on the pages, interweaving into a complex formation pattern.

"What should we do next?" Chen Yu asked.

"Direct the formation energy to the target spirit beast." The system reminded again.

Chen Yu took a deep breath and slowly guided the energy of the formation to the giant rat.

Golden lines appeared on the giant rat's body, echoing the formation patterns in the "Beast Taming Manual".

"It seems...it seems to have some effect?" Chen Yu thought to himself as he looked at the golden patterns on the giant rat's body.

At this moment, the giant rat suddenly let out a deafening roar, and the golden patterns on its body shattered instantly. It rushed towards the four beauties again, with an even more ferocious momentum than before.

"Oh my god, what's going on?" Chen Yu was shocked and quickly hid behind the tree again.

"The host made an operational error and the beast taming failed." The system's cold voice sounded again.

"Failed?" Chen Yu was on the verge of tears. "Why is this thing so hard to use?"

He looked at the fierce battle scene in front of him and felt extremely anxious.

The giant rat grew bigger and bigger, and its strength grew stronger and stronger. Although the four beauties were quite powerful, they were no match for it after all.

If they continue like this, they will be defeated by the giant rats sooner or later.

"No, I have to think of a way!" Chen Yu gritted his teeth and took out another powerful Vajra Pill from the rag bag.

"System, is this thing still useful against this giant rat?" Chen Yu asked.

"In theory, it should be effective." The system replied.

"In theory?" Chen Yu was a little uncertain. "But what about in practice?"

"Unknown." The system replied briefly.

Chen Yu hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to take a gamble. He picked up the slingshot, loaded it with the powerful diamond pill, aimed at the giant rat's mouth, pulled hard, and then let go.

The powerful Vajra Pill flew out with a whoosh and hit the giant rat's mouth.

The powerful Vajra Pill drew a parabola and flew accurately into the giant rat's open bloody mouth.

The giant rat seemed stunned for a moment, and its huge eyes rolled around, as if wondering what was flying in.

It swallowed it with a gulp, as easy as swallowing a small stone.

Chen Yu held his breath, nervously observing the giant rat's reaction. Lin Qingxue, Shangguan Wan'er, Luo Li, and Liu Ruyan also stopped attacking and looked at the giant rat curiously.

At first, the giant rat didn't react at all. Chen Yu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the Vajra Pill had lost its effect?

He was just thinking about whether to try shooting another one when suddenly, the giant rat's body began to tremble violently.

It let out a painful roar, its muscles bulged and veins popped out, wriggling like earthworms under its skin.

"This...what's going on?" Chen Yu widened his eyes and thought to himself that something was wrong.

Why is the effect of this Dali King Kong Pill different from last time? Last time, the mouse took the Dali King Kong Pill and its body size suddenly increased, becoming extremely powerful.

Why does it look like he's been poisoned this time?

The system's cold voice rang out in his mind: "The Vajra Pill reacted with the residual energy of the Yin-Yang Harmony Technique, causing energy disorder in the spirit beast's body."

"Energy disorder?" Chen Yu was confused. "What will happen then?"

"Unknown." The system replied briefly.

Chen Yu's mind raced with fervor. Unknown? What did "unknown" mean?

This system is too unreliable!

The giant rat's roars became more and more shrill. It rolled on the ground in pain, knocking the surrounding trees to the ground.

Lin Qingxue and the other three quickly retreated to avoid the giant rat's crazy attack.

Chen Yu was so scared that he hid behind another big tree and secretly observed the giant rat.

He was feeling uneasy, wondering if this powerful Vajra Pill would really kill the little white mouse.

At this moment, a clear voice sounded in his ears: "Mr. Chen, are you okay?"

Chen Yu turned around and saw a girl in a goose yellow dress standing behind him.

The girl has a pretty face, delicate eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and her big eyes are full of worry.

Chen Yu was stunned for a moment. Who was this girl? He seemed to have never seen her before.

"Girl, who are you?" Chen Yu asked doubtfully.

"My name is Huang Ying'er, and I'm a disciple of Baihua Valley." The girl smiled slightly, revealing two shallow dimples. "I just saw Master Chen hiding here, so I came over to check it out."

Baihua Valley? Chen Yu's heart moved. Baihua Valley was a sect famous for growing spiritual herbs and refining elixirs. It was said that there were many beautiful women in the valley, all of whom were masters of alchemy.

"It's Miss Huang." Chen Yu quickly bowed and said, "I'm Chen Yu. Thank you for your concern."

"Mr. Chen, you're welcome," Huang Ying'er said softly. "I see Mr. Chen doesn't look well. Is he injured?"

"No...no." Chen Yu quickly shook his head, "I'm just...just a little tired."

"Oh." Huang Ying'er nodded, then pointed at Lin Qingxue and the other three who were fighting a giant rat not far away and said, "Master Chen, do you know them?"

"I know them." Chen Yu nodded. "They are my... friends."

"I see." Huang Ying'er smiled, "Mr. Chen's friends are all so amazing!"

"It's...it's okay." Chen Yu said modestly, but felt a little proud in his heart.

Huang Ying'er chatted with Chen Yu for a few more words, and then said, "Mr. Chen, I'm going to help your friends first."

"Ah? You're going to help them?" Chen Yu asked in surprise, "What kind of magic do you know?"

Huang Ying'er smiled and said nothing. She just took out a small sachet from her waist and threw it lightly.

The sachet exploded in the air, releasing a colorful powder. The powder drifted in the air, emitting bursts of refreshing fragrance.

When the giant rat smelled the fragrance, its movements suddenly became slow and its eyes became blurry, as if it was drunk.

"Is this... a love potion?" Chen Yu asked in surprise.

Huang Ying'er nodded and said, "That's right. This bewitching incense can confuse the minds of spirit beasts, temporarily making them lose their fighting power."

Chen Yu looked at Huang Ying'er with admiration. The disciples of Baihua Valley were indeed extraordinary. They even possessed this magical incense.

With the help of the love incense, Lin Qingxue and the other three quickly gained the upper hand.

They seized the opportunity, used their special skills and launched a fierce attack on the giant rat.

Under the influence of the love incense, the giant rat has completely lost its ability to resist.

It stood unsteadily, with a dazed look in its eyes, as if it would fall down at any moment.

Lin Qingxue seized the opportunity and pierced the giant rat's heart with a sword. The giant rat let out a shrill scream and fell to the ground with a loud bang, stirring up a cloud of dust.

The battle is over.

The giant rat let out a shrill scream, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, stirring up a cloud of dust.

It struggled a few times and then stopped moving, and its blood dyed the surrounding land red.

"It's finally solved." Shangguan Wan'er put away her flying sword and let out a sigh.

The coldness around Luo Li dissipated, and her expression returned to its icy cold state. She walked to Chen Yu without saying a word, her eyes scanning him as if checking if he was injured.

"Mr. Chen, are you okay?" Huang Ying'er also came over and asked with concern.

"I'm fine, I'm fine." Chen Yu waved his hand and walked out from behind the tree.

He looked at the huge rat corpse in front of him and felt a little scared.

If I were hit by it, I would probably be crippled if not killed.

"Chen Yu, what were you doing just now? Why were you hiding?" Lin Qingxue walked in front of Chen Yu, frowned slightly, and there was a hint of blame in her tone.

"I... I'm just afraid of getting hurt by mistake." Chen Yu smiled awkwardly, "You all know that with my limited skills, I can't really help in a battle of this level."

"Hmph, you're smart." Lin Qingxue snorted coldly and didn't pursue the matter any further.

"Mr. Chen, what kind of hidden weapon did you use just now that could actually fascinate this giant rat?"

Liu Ruyan walked over to Chen Yu and asked curiously. Her eyes fell on the slingshot in Chen Yu's hand, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

This thing looks ordinary, but how can it be so powerful?

"What are you talking about?" Chen Yu shook the slingshot in his hand. "This is a treasure passed down from my ancestors. It's called 'Hundred Steps Through the Willow'. It can shoot a special kind of bewitching bullet. Even the most powerful spirit beast will be temporarily unconscious if it is hit by it."

"Oh? There is such a magical hidden weapon?" Liu Ruyan's beautiful eyes lit up, and she was obviously very interested in Chen Yu's "Hundred Steps Through the Arrow".

"Of course." Chen Yu said proudly, "This is a treasure passed down from my ancestors. I won't tell anyone else about it."

"Mr. Chen, can you lend me this hidden weapon of yours?" Liu Ruyan pointed at the slingshot in Chen Yu's hand and said with a smile.

"This..." Chen Yu looked embarrassed. "This is my treasure. How can I lend it to anyone?"

"Mr. Chen, please lend it to me and let me have a look. I promise I won't damage your treasure."

As Liu Ruyan spoke, she deliberately rubbed Chen Yu's arm with her plump breasts. Her voice was so delicate that Chen Yu's bones almost softened.

"Well... okay." Chen Yu finally couldn't resist Liu Ruyan's nagging and handed the slingshot to her.
