Chapter 2 Drawing with blood, drawing souls onto paper

As Su Yu raised his brush,

The remaining soul of the demon was also approaching him step by step!

A cold murderous aura rushed towards Su Yu.

He just felt his hair stand on end!
The one-horned demon that was killed had practiced Taoism for a hundred years.

Before being caught by the Demon Slayer Bureau, it had killed many people in the Bashan area and had a very strong evil spirit.

Unexpectedly, even though this monster was killed, the remaining wisp of soul was still so terrifying!
As the saying goes, it is difficult to draw the bones of a tiger even if it is its skin.

The most difficult part of drawing a corpse is the ghost's face.

Many demons often have hideous faces, and their facial features are even blurred and distorted.
It’s hard to capture its essence!
In order to paint its image and soul on paper, the painter needs to concentrate his mind and use all his thoughts and energy.
Draw shapes with blood and lead the soul into paper!
The corpse painter's pen brings out not only the residual souls, but also the resentment and evil spirit left over from the slain monsters.

When drawing the face, the evil spirit of the demon's residual soul can often bring the most terrifying impact to the painter.

No wonder the predecessor was killed by the broken soul when the last face was drawn!

Su Yu gritted his teeth, gripped the paintbrush tightly, and drew a stroke on the paper.

As the brush fell, the dark demon's remaining soul became a little more transparent.
It seemed that as his brush fell, part of the power of the remnant soul had been introduced into the drawing paper.

But the remnant soul was one step closer to him!
The cold and murderous aura seemed to make him unable to breathe.
There's a lump in my chest!

The right hand holding the paintbrush also seemed to become heavier.

At this time, the remaining spirit of the demon was only five feet away from Su Yu.
A pair of blood-red eyes, emitting a strange light,
Two sharp claws slowly stretched towards his heart.
Ten sharp and cold evil spirits pierced out from the claws.
Through the skin and straight into the lungs!

The paintbrush in my hand seemed to be frozen, and it became extremely difficult to paint even a single stroke.

Even his blood seemed to be freezing!
A trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth!

At this moment, a fiery red light suddenly fell from his eyes.
It was like a piece of fallen peach petals, falling from the void and passing through his eyes.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a little more heat in the blood.
The speed of the flow suddenly increased a lot!
As the blood flowed, his body felt stronger.

The originally extremely heavy paintbrush became much lighter in his hand.

The remaining soul of the demon seemed to be suddenly blocked three feet away by an invisible force and could no longer get any closer.

Without time to think, Su Yu quickly picked up the pen and painted, completely drawing the demon's face.

Seven years of learning, three years of painting corpses,
His painting skills have become very sophisticated.

With just a few strokes, the demon's face was completely outlined.

As the last stroke fell,
The finishing touch of the painting monster!

The shapes of the demons and monsters appear vividly on the paper!

The body of the demon five feet away had become completely transparent.

Its residual soul and the evil spirit and resentment formed when it was killed were all drawn into the drawing paper.

Su Yu put down his paintbrush and let out a long sigh.

The depressed and cold evil spirit that was pressing on my chest was swept away in an instant!

At this moment, a clear voice suddenly came from my ears.

Like the bronze chimes in an ancient temple, it is simple and ancient, as if it can strike deep into the soul.

He just felt dazed.
My thoughts drift away instantly...

He seemed to have suddenly flown out of the Demon-Slaying Hall and in an instant arrived between layers of mountains.

The lush mountains are surrounded by white mist, and the peaks are floating in the sea of ​​fog!
Deep in the mountains, a giant peach tree rose from the ground.

The tall tree trunks seem to support the Buzhou Mountain in the sky.
The crowns cover the sky, and the peach blossoms are as bright as fire!
A black gas flew out from behind Su Yu and plunged into the depths of the peach wood like a meteor.

As the black air entered the wood, a sound of chimes floated in.
Amid the sound of chimes, a mottled painting suddenly emerged in the void.

The cover was blank, with only three extremely strange characters, each of which flickered and jumped as if it had a life consciousness:

【Monster Record】

The scroll slowly unfolded, and the first page showed the demon whose shape was just drawn in blood by Su Yu and whose soul was drawn onto the paper.

A few lines of small words appeared next to the demon:

[Mandrill] [Demon Beast, Yellow Grade 7]

[Human face, long arms, black body, covered with hair]

[No magical ability, only after practicing for 500 years can the bristles be shed and the human form be transformed]

[Incredible strength, as strong as nine oxen and two tigers, can tear tigers and leopards apart with bare hands, extremely fast, can walk on grass as fast as flying]

As these lines of small words appeared, the picture of the mandrill on the Record of Demons suddenly emitted a red light.

"Ding!"

A clear voice sounded in the scroll.

The Yin-Yang abacus is jingling, and the price is good!
A line of scarlet words appeared before Su Yu's eyes:
[Draw a yellow-character seventh-grade monster and you will receive a beast blood pill! ]

The red light condensed in the air and finally turned into a pill and fell into his hands.

[Beast Blood Pill: Eating it can strengthen your bones and body, give you a thousand-pound strength, and make you run as fast as an animal]

As the words appeared before my eyes, the mountains and peach trees disappeared.

Su Yu found himself still in the Demon Slaying Hall.

In front of him was the remains of the slain mandrill ghost, and the bloody smell still lingered in his nose.

However, the corpse painting has been completed.
And there was an extra pill in his hand.

Thinking of this, Su Yu put the pill in his hand to his mouth.

The pill exudes a strong bloody smell, which makes people feel dizzy just by smelling it.

But I don’t know what the effect will be after taking it.

Su Yu hesitated for a moment, but still put the pill into his mouth.

This was the first special gain he had received since coming to this world.

As soon as the pill entered my mouth and merged with my saliva, I felt a burst of heat and spiciness.

He frowned and swallowed the pill.

As the pill entered the stomach, a burst of heat instantly filled the body.

It was as if a hot furnace suddenly appeared in the dantian, rapidly heating the blood in the whole body.

The beast's blood boils!

The hot breath continuously emerged from Su Yu's dantian and flowed continuously along the blood vessels in the body.

The blood flow rate also became much faster due to the heat.

A primitive and wild power seemed to enter his body along with the beast blood pill.

His skin, blood, even fascia and bones were tempered and improved by this blazing power.

In just a moment, he felt that his strength had increased several times!
Originally, Su Yu was just a frail 17-year-old boy.
It's not like I'm powerless.
But his hard life in the Demon Slaying Bureau for many years made him look a little thin.

After taking the beast blood pill, although his muscles did not expand excessively, they had become tight and strong, and the power generated by muscle movement was far beyond that of ordinary people!
Although there is no obvious change in his appearance, he is actually as strong as a thousand pounds now!

At the same time, Su Yu felt extremely hot all over.

My mind was in a trance.

In a trance, he seemed to come back to the giant peach tree among the mountains.

The mist was thick and covered most of the treetops.
Only the mottled, dark, iron-like trunks of trees are hidden among the rugged rocks.

He leaped among the dragon-like tree roots like a wild and agile mandrill.

The pleasure of running freely made him want to roar like a mandrill.

At this moment, a petal as red as blood suddenly fell from the white mist covering the treetops.

The fallen petals shattered and turned into a woman in red.

Beautiful face, graceful figure,
Behind him, the nine tails were flying.
Nine tails, nine colors, swaying gracefully!
The woman looked at Su Yu with her beautiful eyes.
The color of the eyes is as charming as water, changing in countless ways.
