Chapter 83 Hungry Beast
Time always passes quickly, and before I knew it, it was already midnight.

Ying yawned slightly, said good night to Chen Tianfeng, rubbed her eyes, went into the tent, and lay down beside Paimeng. The sleeping little mascot seemed to be aware of something, and unconsciously moved to Ying's fragrant and soft arms, hugging her tightly. From her appearance, it was known that she must have fallen asleep with a sweet dream tonight.

Chen Tianfeng added two more sticks of firewood, glanced at the closed tent, hesitated for a moment, stood up and walked towards the river. After a while, he returned to the campfire, holding a bug about two knuckles long in his hand.

He found a stone, stretched out his left index finger, pressed the struggling insect on the stone, held the dagger in his right hand, took a deep breath, and slashed his left wrist with the blade through the gap deliberately left in the arm armor!
Blood spilled out, staining the blade.

Chen Tianfeng held the dagger upright, watching the blood drip from the tip of the knife and hit the insect.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.
The insect was safe and sound, and its struggle was not reduced at all.

Chen Tianfeng pursed his lips and casually wiped the blood off the dagger. He no longer imposed any restrictions, cut another knife on his already healed left wrist, and once again dripped blood on the struggling insect.

This time the effect was immediate. The healthy and energetic insects became silent in an instant. The blood quietly fell onto the stone, and the stone also quietly changed, with a faint sense of death spreading out.

——It was as if the stone was "killed" by the blood.

Chen Tianfeng's face twitched, and he carefully dealt with the insects, stones and remaining bloodstains, then sat back by the campfire, sighed deeply, and had a complicated expression.

The good news: He can finally control the toxicity in his blood and no longer has to worry about accidentally spilling blood causing irreparable damage.

The bad news: the "toxicity" in his blood has become stronger, and the more "non-toxic" blood there is, the more "toxic" the remaining blood will be.

I don't know if I can find a bug and deliberately release some non-toxic blood every once in a while to double the toxicity of the blood in the body... There's no instinct to prompt me.

Chen Tianfeng thought about it and decided not to take the risk. What if he was forced to release the horrible poison even when he took a breath? Then he would probably be treated like the Dragon King Ruotu or Osel.

King Ryota, an ancient dragon as long-lived as a mountain, was created from elemental crystals and carries the power and memories of the earth.

During the Demon War, Morax discovered a stone dragon buried deep underground. Feeling deeply for the pain of this ancient rock elemental creature's blindness, he brought it back to the surface and opened its eyes.

This is the origin of the Ruota Dragon King. It stands shoulder to shoulder with the Emperor, follows behind the Emperor, fights with the Emperor, makes a great name for itself, and achieves numerous military exploits.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. After the war, King Ruotu lost his mind due to [wear and tear] and fell into madness. He was eventually subdued by the Emperor and sealed under the Fulong Tree at the South Heaven Gate.

As for Osel, he was the [Demon of the Whirlpool] who attacked Liyue Harbor during the Demon War. He was defeated by Emperor Geo and sealed in Lord Guyun.

——It is said that Guyun Pavilion was formed from the huge rock spear thrown by the Rock King during the war.

"Eh…"

Chen Tianfeng sighed, and actually understood what he had guessed Zhongli and Wendy were doing. If such a horrible poison appeared in his home, his first thought would probably be to send this plague god away as soon as possible, right?
No, if it can be killed without leaving any hidden dangers, it is better to kill it... So the two of them are still merciful... Or will there be a huge toxic explosion after I die?

So what am I now? A self-propelled humanoid nuclear bomb?
Chen Tianfeng grinned, stopped thinking about it, and began to experiment with the next skill he acquired instinctively.

He raised his right index finger, and a grayish-white [Qi] appeared. Then he pointed at a stone next to him. A grayish-white beam of light shot out silently and swiftly, hitting the stone at a speed that could not be captured by the naked eye.

Completely silently, the stone turned gray in the blink of an eye, and then weathered into a pile of sand. Even the small patch of grass next to the stone, which was already withered and yellow, shattered in an instant and fell into silent death.

Chen Tianfeng looked at his index finger, then at the amazing results. For the first time, he no longer felt the hunger instinct was noisy, and he even felt that it was somewhat pleasing to the ear.

It's okay to be hungry, just eat when you're hungry. It's just energy, easy to deal with. Not to mention other things, there are seven [Non-Aspects] on the continent of Teyvat!
Damn it! I ate eat eat eat eat!! I ate it all!!!

Chen Tianfeng grinned, not knowing whether it was an illusion, but there seemed to be a gray-white, ferocious hungry beast behind him, its greedy eyes scanning everything it could devour.

...Mondstadt, where the wind rises.

It is said that this is the place where the symbol of Mondstadt's hero, [Lionfang Knight] Vanessa, ascended to Sky Island - under a huge oak tree.

The best bard in the world gently plucked the strings of his harp. The soft sound spread into the wind, making the night gentle.

Suddenly, the wind stopped for a moment, and the sound of the piano also stopped at this moment.

Wendy put away her harp and looked at the blond figure who suddenly appeared. She said with surprise and a smile: "Ah, long time no see, my friend. Why did you suddenly think of looking for me? Did you encounter any difficulties?"

"Barbatos..."

The older twin brother, now the prince of the Abyss Cult, Sora, had a cold face and looked like he wanted to punch the bard in the face: "You are still so shameless!"

"How did this come about, my friend?"

Wendy's gem-like eyes were full of innocence: "Did I do something secretly to make you angry? If there is anything you are dissatisfied with, you can just tell me directly and I will definitely change it, okay?"

"..."

Sora took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his chest, and looked at Wendy: "I will give up my plan and stop targeting Tevarin. I will make him leave my sister."

"Tevalin? My poor companion has just woken up. Did it offend you? Oh, don't worry, I will warn it not to cause trouble for you." Wendy said sincerely.

"I will return your Seven Days Statue and choose another statue of another god to complete the plan."

"It's just a seven-day statue. If you like it, I can give you two more. You're welcome, my friend."

"…I promise you that the Abyss Cult will not carry out any plans that are harmful to Mondstadt from now on."

"My friend, what are you talking about? I don't quite understand you."

"Barbatos!!"

"I am here, my friend."

"Don't go too far!" Kong said angrily, "What do you want me to do before you agree to let that horrible monster leave my sister!"

"You are angry, my friend. Because Xiao Tianfeng's existence threatens your sister's safety, and because you feel that your family has been plotted against..."

Wendy shook her head and looked at Sora, her eyes calm: "But, my friend. When you decided to attack Tevarin, did you consider that it is also my family?"

"... "

Sora was silent. Has he considered this?

Of course, he had not only considered it, but also struggled with it. However, in order to fight against the law of nature, he had to control all the power he could control, do his best, and not relax at all.

Admittedly, this was unfair to his former friends, but he had no choice.

"I..." He opened his mouth and finally sighed: "Sorry, Wendy."
