Chapter 535 Dealing With The Corpse

Lu Yu, who was hiding in the dark, shot a water spear at the spirit deer's head.

With a muffled bang, the water spear exploded on the spirit deer's head, causing the skin and flesh on its head to split open. Fresh blood instantly gushed out and splattered all over the spirit deer's face.

The next moment, the spirit deer's entire body turned translucent. The remaining water spear penetrated its body and shot through it.

Seeing this, Lu Yu could not help but frown.

"What's going on?"

"This is the spirit deer's escape skill. It will use an invincibility skill when injured, and its physical body will disappear, leaving only its spirit body."

Seeing this, Lu Yu was dumbfounded. "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

He quickly stood up, walked out of the bush, and rushed forward.

The spirit deer had already turned into a phantom state. It turned around and burrowed into the forest, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

Lu Yu could only rush in the direction the spirit deer had escaped, trying his best to catch up to it.

After running for some distance and passing through a large bush, Lu Yu looked around but saw nothing, as the spirit deer had long since disappeared.

The spirit deer he had just tracked down had disappeared again, making Lu Yu a little frustrated.

At this moment, the hunter caught up to them and panted heavily. "I'm sorry; I forgot to tell you. But we still have a chance."

Lu Yu heaved a long sigh. "I'm afraid it won't be easy to find it again in this dense forest."

"This deep forest is the spirit deer's home ground. It won't be caught so easily."

"You're right. So, should we go back home or..."

Lu Yu shook his head decisively. "I'm not going back. I won't go back until I find the prey!"

The hunter let out a long sigh. "Alright, but we'll have to try our luck."

At that moment, Lu Yu squatted down and picked up a leaf.

On the leaf, there was a piece of crystal-clear red blood.

"Such fresh blood must have just flown out. The spirit deer is right ahead!:

Lu Yu started to tread forward quietly.

With every two steps he took, he could see droplets of blood on the leaves. Following the blood, he began to move forward slowly.

"I didn't expect you to be so attentive. Among so many dead leaves, you can always accurately find the one with the blood."

"It's nothing," Lu Yu commented disapprovingly. "As long as we can find the prey, anything works."

Lu Yu continued forward while observing the bloodstains on the ground.

The blood was getting less and less, which made Lu Yu suspicious. Could he have gone in the wrong direction?

Logically speaking, with such a large wound on the spirit deer's head, it should be bleeding out furiously. However, the blood trails in front of him were thinning out.

Lu Yu quickly guessed that it was likely that the spirit deer could heal itself. Furthermore, it was a powerful healing skill that produced such a phenomenon.

After all, the spirit deer was a treasure to everyone. Just a single antler could bring a person back to life, so it was normal for it to have healing skills.

Lu Yu continued to walk forward. When he pushed aside a patch of grass, he saw the spirit deer lying on a grass pile.

It was curled up and lying there. The wound on its forehead had miraculously formed a scab and was even about to disappear entirely!

The speed of its healing was amazing!

Lu Yu turned around and gave the hunter a look, telling him to stay where he was.

After that, Lu Yu started to approach the spirit deer.

Right at this moment, Lu Yu's right claw transformed into his Diamond Dragon Claw, while his left claw transformed into his Explosive Dragon Claw.

The next moment, Lu Yu charged forward at a breakneck speed; he was before the spirit deer in an instant.

The spirit deer was shocked and quickly stood up, wanting to turn around and escape!

But immediately after, Lu Yu grabbed his head with his right claw.

A huge force instantly clamped down on the spirit deer. Lu Yu slammed down with force, directly smashing the spirit deer to the ground.

Lu Yu's entire body pressed down on it, completely suppressing the spirit deer and making it unable to move.

The spirit deer struggled non-stop, trying to break free from Lu Yu's restraints. However, no matter how much it struggled, it was to no avail.

Lu Yu's powerful force was something it couldn't resist. Moreover, it couldn't break free from Lu Yu's Diamond Dragon Claw's immense strength.

After holding the spirit deer down, Lu Yu extended his left claw and index finger.

The sharp claws on his index finger reached toward the spirit deer's neck, ready to stab it.

However, after thinking for a moment, he retracted his left hand. He wasn't in a hurry to kill the spirit deer.

He slowly got up, but his right claw was still holding onto the deer's head, making it unable to escape from Lu Yu's palm.

The spirit deer stood up slowly and looked at Lu Yu with fear in its eyes. Its four limbs resisted but couldn't break free from Lu Yu's mighty strength and had to follow Lu Yu.

Lu Yu walked to the hunter and said, "I caught it. Let's bring it back."

The hunter looked at the spirit deer behind Lu Yu and asked, "Don't you plan to kill it now?"

Lu Yu shook his head. "Since this deer has so many precious materials on him, the effect of these materials should develop into a much better value if we could nurture him a little more."

"That's a good idea. As the spirit deer grows older, its value will increase—for example, the effects of deer antlers of different ages will be different."

"However, the spirit deer can only absorb the surrounding spiritual energy in the deep mountains and dense forests. Only then can it nourish itself and grow."

Lu Yu was a little disappointed after hearing this. "In other words, it's useless to keep this guy in captivity?"

"Of course. Otherwise, we would have farmed them in batches. After all, such a life-saving medicine is extremely rare."

Lu Yu nodded and knew it made sense.

Therefore, he immediately switched to his Explosive Dragon Claw and slashed down, instantly tearing open the spirit deer's throat.

Together, the two men began to dissect the spirit deer's corpse into eight pieces. They peeled off its skin, cut its meat into pieces, and carefully removed its antlers.

Very quickly, the two finished dissecting the spirit deer's body. Of course, they had stored it in Lu Yu's pocket watch.

"Alright, let's head back!" Lu Yu said with a smile. His successful hunting improved his mood.

With this antler, Lu Yu would have a trump card in the future, a trump card that could restore him to full health even if he was seriously injured.

The hunter beside Lu Yu couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect you to finish hunting this quickly. You've sure impressed me, and it seems like you're a talented hunter."

He changed his attitude and was full of praise for Lu Yu.
