1133 Proof of Friendship
Seeing that Chu Nan had actually completed his effective attack on the other two Red Tumor Mountain Beasts in the blink of an eye and successfully attracted their attention, Hasol could not help but sigh.
How strong was this guy’s true strength?
However, he did not have the time to sigh more. When he saw that the two Red Tumor Mountain Beasts had been lured away by Chu Nan, he immediately took a deep breath. His entire body emitted a red light again as if a blood cloud had appeared in the starry sky and quickly enveloped his fist.
As Chu Nan brought the two Red Tumor Mountain Beasts around the starry sky and attacked them from time to time to ensure that their attention was always on him, he observed the battle between Hasol and the remaining Red Tumor Mountain Beast.
In fact, he was also very curious about Hasol’s strength.
Or to be precise, he was very curious about Hasol’s cultivation method.
Previously, when the two of them cooperated to hunt the Four-Winged Golden Crow, Hasol’s job was to kill those lone Four-Winged Golden Crows. Chu Nan had never been able to see him attack with his own eyes. He had only occasionally seen a few of them in the previous battles, so he naturally did not know much.
However, from those glimpses, Chu Nan had already discovered that Hasol’s cultivation method was very special.
Now that there was such a good opportunity to observe up close, he naturally would not let it go.
A red light erupted from Hasol’s entire body as if his body was continuously emitting blood qi. Moreover, as the battle continued, it became stronger bit by bit.
Under the envelopment of the blood energy, every time the Red Tumor Mountain Beast came into contact with Hasol, traces of the same red aura would be pulled out from its body, as if Hasol was directly extracting its blood energy.
After this battle lasted for a period of time, it was obvious that the movements of the Red Tumor Mountain Beast gradually slowed down. The speed at which the red tumor on its back shot out the bright purple pillar of light became slower and slower. It had clearly become weak at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.
After fighting for a while, the Red Tumor Mountain Beast was already exhausted. Hasol threw a punch, and it could not react in time. It was struck in the abdomen by Hasol, and a huge wound was actually forcefully opened.
With the powerful body of the Red Tumor Mountain Beast and its super defense as an A-rank beast, the fact that this could happen could only prove that its current state was already extremely inferior to its initial intact state.
The Red Tumor Mountain Beast was in pain. It opened its mouth and roared, shaking a large area of space in the surrounding space. Its body emitted a destructive bright purple light at the same time and it perked up again. It actually looked stronger than before.
However, this state was only its last struggle. Hasol avoided its counterattack and the bright purple light on its body quickly disappeared. Its state quickly withered, and even its huge body shrunk.
When the Red Tumor Mountain Beast saw that the situation was bad, it turned around and wanted to escape. However, how could Hasol give it this chance? He chased after it and soon left countless wounds on it. In the end, he took the opportunity to punch the red tumor on its back, revealing a huge core that flickered with a bright purple light and killing it.
Hasol did not take out the core immediately. Instead, he turned around and joined the battle between Chu Nan and the remaining two Red Tumor Mountain Beasts.
The two Red Tumor Mountain Beasts also reacted quickly. When they saw that their companion was already dead, they quickly sensed that the situation was wrong and turned around to escape towards the surface.
However, how could Hasol and Chu Nan give them this chance? After an intense battle, it did not take long for the remaining two Red Tumor Mountain Beasts to turn into two corpses.
Only then did Hasol turn around and take out the core of the Red Tumor Mountain Beast he had killed. Then, he pointed at the other two and sent a voice transmission to Chu Nan.
“They’re yours.”
Chu Nan shrugged and did not stand on ceremony. He cut open the red tumors on the backs of the two Red Tumor Mountain Beasts and took out their cores.
However, the Red Tumor Mountain Beast was huge and its core was especially huge. Compared to the core of the Four-Winged Golden Crow, which was only the size of a fist, the core of the Red Tumor Mountain Beast was larger than a normal person’s head. It was impossible to hold such a size with one hand. Chu Nan could only tuck them under his armpit and look a little comical.
Seeing Chu Nan’s gaze land on the corpses of the two Red Tumor Mountain Beasts, Hasol shook his head.
“There’s no need to look. The meat of such an especially huge guy is usually not delicious. Apart from the skin on its body, it doesn’t have anything valuable. What? Are you interested in peeling off its skin?”
“I’m not interested.” Chu Nan immediately shook his head and turned to look at Hasol who was holding the core in amusement, “Hey, tell me, why did you provoke the Red Tumor Mountain Beast again? Moreover, you forced them to chase into the sky and kill you?”
“It’s nothing. I only killed a few cubs.” Hasol held the core in one hand and flipped open his pocket with the other, revealing several cores that also flickered with a bright purple light, but were much smaller.
Chu Nan glanced at it and could not help but roll his eyes.
“No wonder these guys insisted on chasing after you like crazy. I say, why did you have to hunt their cubs? Don’t you know that these beasts protect their cubs the craziest?”
“Of course I know,” Hasol replied expressionlessly, “However, compared to an adult Red Tumor Mountain Beast, the core of their cubs is easier to sell.” After saying that, he lowered his head to look at the huge core in his arms and frowned, “On the contrary, I’m a little difficult to deal with this thing now.”
He was not joking.
Although theoretically, the core value of an adult Red Tumor Mountain Beast was much stronger than a young Red Tumor Mountain Beast, most of the people who needed to use the core to increase their strength were relatively low-level martial artists. The highly condensed energy contained in the core of an adult Red Tumor Mountain Beast was too dense, and it was not conducive to their absorption and understanding. Therefore, they did not need it at all.
In comparison, the core of the young Red Tumor Mountain Beast was much smaller and much easier to absorb.
“Oh? Sold?” Chu Nan glanced at Hasol in surprise, “In other words, you specially found trouble with these A-rank ferocious beasts just to hunt them and sell their cores for money?”
“Of course. Otherwise, would I have nothing to do?” Hasol had a matter-of-fact expression.
“I indeed thought you were bored…” Chu Nan shrugged and stretched out a hand to Hasol, “Since you want to sell this thing, sell it to me. Tell me, how much do you plan to sell it for?”
“You want to buy it?” Hasol looked at Chu Nan in surprise and his gaze landed on the two huge cores under his armpit, “Why do you want so many?”
“You don’t have to worry about that. Tell me, how much?”
Hasol thought for a moment and threw the core in his arms to Chu Nan.
“Since you want it, I’ll give it to you.”
“Oh? So generous?”
Hasol grinned at Chu Nan.
“Take it as proof that we’ve become friends. What do you think?”
Chu Nan opened his arms and hugged the core. He also grinned at Hasol.
“Of course.”
