But after all, it was not as nimble as Zhou Xing. Zhou Xing kept harassing and attacking while tossing and turning, making the brown bear roar again and again, but there was nothing he could do.
While Zhou Xing was fighting and familiarizing himself with the fighting methods, he didn't notice that a hint of black appeared in the brown bear's eyes that turned red due to anger.
"Eh! Demonic energy?" Ax Zu let out a light sigh. Unfortunately, Zhou Xing, who was fully engrossed in the battle, did not hear his whisper.
"boom!"
During the battle, Zhou Xing suddenly circled behind the brown bear and kicked it in the butt. At this moment, something happened suddenly.
The howling brown bear became quiet, and Zhou Xing instinctively felt something was wrong. But before he could figure out what was going on, the brown bear suddenly turned around and hit his head with a bear punch.
"Bang...click..."
Zhou Xing's face changed suddenly. In a hurry, he could only raise his left arm to block. But as soon as he came into contact with it, there was the sound of bones breaking, and then he was hit several feet away. The huge force caused a burst of energy in his body. Blood surged.
"What's going on? Why did its power suddenly increase and its speed become faster?"
Zhou Xing stood up in embarrassment, holding up his broken left hand with his right hand, and looked at the calm brown bear not far away in fear.
There was a flickering black light in the brown bear's eyes. It just stared at Zhou Xing quietly, and a sinister aura rushed towards his face. Zhou Xing suddenly felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart.
"This should be caused by the entry of demonic energy into the body. With the addition of demonic energy, it can improve various combat abilities in a short period of time, and the body will feel no pain. However, when the body cannot bear it, its soul will collapse. , turned into an empty shell of flesh." Ax Zu's explanation sounded, and Zhou Xing finally understood.
"Demon energy? Isn't that something that only exists in the demon world? Where does this devilish energy come from?" Zhou Xing said with an ugly face.
When Zhou Xing was in his prime, he was just on par with his opponent. Now that his opponent had become stronger and he was injured, how could he still fight?
"The demonic energy may have been contaminated by some kind of artifact dropped here from the demon world! As for now, I can't help you, but you just need to wait for this period of time." Ax Ancestor said again.
Zhou Xing heard the words and forced himself to calm down, looking at the brown bear warily.
This time the brown bear didn't roar, but with a flash of black light in its eyes, it turned into a bear shadow and rushed towards Zhou Xing.
Seeing the opponent's speed, Zhou Xing's heart almost sank to the bottom, but he could only dodge with all his strength.
"Bang!" After Zhou Xing narrowly avoided the brown bear, a big tree next to him fell down. This scene shocked Zhou Xing into a cold sweat.
The brown bear's attack failed, and its dark eyes stared at Zhou Xing again. When Zhou Xing saw the force behind his feet, he quickly ran away. The brown bear saw this and chased after him again.
Facing the brown bear's hot pursuit, Zhou Xing was almost hit by its fist several times. Fortunately, this was in the forest. Zhou Xing's small stature was able to save the day with the help of the cover of big trees many times. One person and one bear The speed of life and death unfolded in the forest.
At this moment, after Zhou Xing passed through several black trees, the mountain wall of a larger hill blocked his way. He was about to jump to the left when a black shadow instantly blocked the left side, accompanied by a huge Bear's paw strikes.
Zhou Xing quickly raised his fist to meet him. Fortunately, this time the brown bear only made a hasty move to stop Zhou Xing, otherwise Zhou Xing would definitely not be able to stop him.
But even so, Zhou Xing was pushed back in front of the mountain wall, and he had no way out at this time.
"Hufufu... Ax Zu, are you really helpless?" Zhou Xing asked hopefully, breathing heavily.
"What can I do? But if you try hard, there is still hope. It seems that it can only make its final struggle." Axzu replied helplessly.
Zhou Xing saw that the black light in the brown bear's eyes seemed to be flashing a little eagerly, and a look of pain began to appear on its face, as if its soul was really going to collapse.
"Damn, I'm going to fight you today! Diamond Fist!"
Zhou Xing shouted loudly, completely ignoring his broken left hand, and then concentrated all his strength on his right fist to attack the brown bear.
At this moment, Zhou Xing's mind went blank, as if he had caught something. But before he could think about it, a man and a bear collided with each other.
"boom……"
As the sound of fists connecting was heard, Zhou Xing and the brown bear stood in a stalemate for a while before being knocked away. Then the standing body of the brown bear slowly fell down, and the last trace of black light in its eyes completely disappeared.
As night fell, Zhou Xing was eating bear paws in the cave with an angry look on his face.
"Okay, this meat has no grudge against you, so why bother?" Ax Zu couldn't bear to look at Zhou Xing's behavior, so he said.
"Who said that? He still has no grudge against me. I almost told him where he was just now." Recalling the thrilling moments during the day, Zhou Xing also felt lingering fear.
Fortunately, Zhou Xing's Diamond Fist exploded at the last moment, blocking the brown bear's final blow, and its soul was completely defeated by the demonic energy.
Zhou Xing was on the verge of life and death in his first battle, but Zhou Xing did not feel afraid. This exciting training method made his blood boil. He was truly worthy of the Chaos Divine Body.
After the battle, Zhou Xing found some herbs under the guidance of Ax Ancestor. He connected the left hand bone and bandaged it. Then he came back and used the dagger to cut off the bear's paw, took it back and roasted it.
"It seems that I have to bring the dagger next time even if I don't use it." Zhou Xing said with emotion while eating the bear's paw.
Upon hearing this, Ax Ancestor immediately mocked: "I don't know who said that since we are going to practice boxing and kicking, we don't need to bring weapons."
Zhou Xing's face turned red after hearing this, and he had to concentrate on eating meat.
When Zhou Xing had eaten and drank enough, Ax Ancestor said again: "You can rest assured and recover from your injuries in the past few days. Your Chaos Divine Body should recover from this injury soon. The main thing is that you have to summarize today's battle and analyze the battle." Gains and losses, and accumulate experience.”
"Well, I know, but my last move of Diamond Fist today made me understand that the essence of this boxing technique lies in the courage to move forward and the determination to fight without fear. This is an unexpected gain!" Zhou Xing lowered his head and whispered.
"This is not surprising. Combat is often one of the best ways to practice. Many geniuses have their epiphanies in combat." Ax Ancestor said bluntly.
In the next few days, Zhou Xing did not stop practicing because of the injury to his left hand. He continued to understand the Vajra Boxing method. After realizing its essence, Zhou Xing is now close to mastering the Vajra Boxing. This kind of talent for practicing spiritual skills is indeed very good. powerful.
When Zhou Xing was using the nine-turn exercise method to temper his left hand, he also discovered that this exercise method could actually repair injuries. This discovery also gave Zhou Xing a big surprise.
When Zhou Xing's left hand injury was completely healed, Ax Ancestor made a training plan for him for the next period of time.
"I discovered that there are some low-level spiritual materials a few miles away that can be used to prepare body-training potions. Recently, you can do actual training during the day and use the spiritual materials and liquids to train at night. If you start late, make sure you have a solid foundation. , your realm must also be improved as soon as possible."
"Okay, Ax Ancestor..."
In the Lord's Mansion of Lingcheng, a middle-aged man in rich clothes but with sinister eyes was sitting on the throne of the Lord of Lingcheng. He was none other than He Feng, the Lord of Lingcheng.
There was also an old man standing in the hall, wearing a black robe with a long snake tattooed on the chest of the black robe. At this time, he was listening to what He Feng, the Lord of Ling City, was saying with lowered eyebrows.
"Black Snake, when Xu'er comes out of seclusion, your Black Snake mercenary group will be responsible for his safety when he enters the mountain. You must not let him make any mistakes." He Feng said to Black Snake solemnly.
Hearing this, Black Snake immediately assured: "Don't worry, City Lord, there will definitely be no harm to the Black Snake Mercenary Group that Young City Lord entrusts to us."
"Well, if Xu'er returns safely this time, I, the city lord, will be richly rewarded!" He Feng gave Black Snake a jujube after hitting him with a big stick.
Black Snake was overjoyed when he heard this. If they could really get some heavy rewards, their Black Snake Mercenary Group would definitely surpass the Husha Mercenary Group and become the number one mercenary group in Lingcheng.
"Black Snake thanks the city lord for cultivating..."
One month later, south of the Black Forest Mountains.
"Pfft...bang!"
A figure flashed past, and a giant python that was more than two feet tall was bleeding profusely at the seven-inch position. The giant python fell down at the sound, and it could only slowly lose its voice in the struggle in fear and helplessness.
"Phew!" The figure jumped out of the forest again and landed next to the python's body. This person was none other than Zhou Xing.
After a month of hard training, although Zhou Xing had only practiced for less than two months at this time, under the guidance of Ax Ancestor, he had already been reborn, and he was completely different from the weak and helpless beggar who was bullied in the past. .
With good nutrition and daily exercise, Zhou Xingchang is now much taller, with a plump figure and an increasingly handsome face.
Logically speaking, ordinary people will have calluses and yellow skin after such training, but Zhou Xing has always been white and tender, but his body has become much stronger. Ax Ancestor said that this is the influence of the Chaos Divine Body, so Zhou Xing is completely gone now The beggar's shadow.
The only fly in the ointment is that Zhou Xing's old beggar's rags have long been a thing of the past during the battle, so he now wears an animal skin dress. The smile has a wild beauty.
"Axezu, why are the beasts here eroded by demonic energy? Is it because the demon world is about to invade?" Zhou Xing put away the smile on his lips and asked Axezu as he looked at the black light disappearing in the eyes of the giant python.
Ax Ancestor seemed to have pondered for a while before saying: "It should be impossible for the demonic world to invade. They don't look down on a small and remote place like Tianling Continent at all, not to mention that there are restrictions in the world's rules. And so many beasts are corroded by demonic energy. Something important from the demon world must have fallen here."
Zhou Xing first said that Tianling Continent was a small and remote place, and then asked: "Then can you determine the specific location of that thing?"
"What are you thinking about? Are there things in the demon world that you can touch now? Only if you reach the Three God Realm are you qualified to touch it!" Ax Ancestor said solemnly.
"Qualification? Three God Realm? I will definitely achieve it!" Zhou Xing clenched his fists and whispered.
"Well, with your talent, cultivation is not a problem, but your final achievements in the future will still depend on your heart. A strong mind is truly powerful!" Ax Ancestor continued to encourage Zhou Xing.
Zhou Xing nodded as if he was enlightened, then turned around and left the place, returning to the cave soon.
At night, with the bright moon hanging high, Zhou Xing walked out of the large wooden barrel he made specially for preparing the medicinal solution. Seeing that the medicinal solution in the barrel had been absorbed until only clear water was left, he put on his animal skin skirt and walked to the entrance of the cave to calm down. Quietly looking at the crescent moon in the sky.
For a long time, Ax Ancestor's long words echoed in Zhou Xing's mind: "In the past month, you have made rapid progress and grown a lot. It's time for us to leave here."
"Are you leaving? I also feel that this month has been a bit incredible! Ax Zu, thank you!" Zhou Xing said in a solemn and sincere tone.
"Ahem... Hahaha... It is my mission to take you to the pinnacle of martial arts and achieve the era of your Chaos Divine Body. You don't have to thank me, kid!" Ax Ancestor smiled as if he was a little embarrassed.
"My...era..."
Early the next morning, Zhou Xing was wearing an animal skin skirt and carrying an animal skin package to leave the Black Forest Mountains.
This time he brought some beast-repelling grass and first-grade spiritual materials that he did not need, and planned to take them to Wanbao Tower to exchange for cultivation resources. There was also a precious second-grade spiritual material, the Blood and Bone Flower, which he prepared for his breakthrough. of.
Just as Zhou Xing was concentrating on his way, Ax Zu suddenly said: "Boy, wait, someone is coming about a mile ahead!"
Zhou Xing's eyes widened when he heard this, and he climbed up on the dense black wood next to him. After hiding, he looked ahead warily.
When Ax Zu saw Zhou Xing's reaction, he secretly praised it. In one month, Zhou Xing has truly transformed from an ignorant novice to an experienced jungle hunter. This will be one of Zhou Xing's most important survival abilities in the future.
Zhou Xing held his breath and paid attention to the front, and soon there was movement.
"Hey, young city lord, I wonder why you came to the south of the Black Forest Mountains? Although there are no burning beasts here, there are not many treasures, not to mention the poisonous insects and beasts here are very weird!" A slightly older voice gradually came.
Then a young and arrogant voice sounded: "Captain Black Snake, I will tell you when we are here. Now you just need to follow my father's orders and protect me."
"This...is, Young City Lord..."
When the group of people approached, Zhou Xing finally saw the person clearly through the gaps between the leaves. Walking in front was a young man wearing brocade and white robes, holding a folding fan, and next to him was an old man with triangular eyes and wearing black robes.
Behind the two of them were two soldiers in armor, and behind them were eight men in black robes holding large axes and looking wary.
Zhou Xing could easily guess the identities of these people at a glance and based on the conversation he just heard. The young master at the head should be He Xu, the son of He Feng, the lord of Ling City, and the two armored soldiers behind him are the guards of the lord's palace.
The old man in black robes and the other men in black robes all have a snake painted on their robes. I guess they are the Black Snake Mercenary Group, the second mercenary group in Lingcheng, and the old man is the leader of the group, Black Snake.
"Young City Lord...He Feng's son, the boss of Juxian Tower!"
Zhou Xing narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking about the scenes where he was bullied twice by He Rong and He Yun, and there was a murderous intention in his heart.
"Hmm! Who is it?"
Black Snake, who was a little dissatisfied with He Xu's attitude, suddenly changed his face slightly. First he shouted loudly, and then he scanned the surroundings vigilantly.
Seeing Black Snake being so alert, the other people immediately ran forward and surrounded He Xu. He Xu also looked around nervously.
