Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
At dusk, the rays of sunlight fall on the earth, coating the mountains and forests with a layer of brilliant golden sand, making the vicissitudes of life and mysterious primitive black forest feel more solemn and heavy.
From time to time, there were clear whip sounds in the valley. It was not someone driving cattle and sheep, but a black giant ape driving Zhang Xiaopeng.
The black giant ape sat cross-legged on the grass, holding his chin in one hand and holding a cane in the other. The crisp sound of the whip was made by it hitting the cane.
It stared at the alchemy furnace lying on the ground without blinking, its brows slightly furrowed, its eyes full of confusion, incomprehension and distress, as if it was thinking about a complex and difficult problem.
But it didn't forget to whip the cane in its hand.
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
The sound of the rattan whipping was clear and sweet, but in Zhang Xiaozu's ears, it was the murderous sound.
He was dragging his bloated, ball-like body, holding a boulder weighing tens of thousands of kilograms above his head, running wildly around the edge of the valley. He had been in this running state all afternoon.
His speed is extremely fast, because every step he takes is a dance in the cold pool. This is his fastest speed and consumes a lot of energy. He was very afraid of this speed of consumption before, because his physical strength was limited and would be drained quickly, thus losing his ability to fight.
But now, he can't wait to pour out all the energy in his body at once, because only in this way can he relieve the life danger he is currently facing.
The reason why his body expanded rapidly, as if it was inflated, was because he ate all the things in the alchemy furnace in one go, and those things were all heavenly materials and earthly treasures rich in spiritual power. So many heavenly materials. The earth treasure was digested and decomposed by him, and huge spiritual energy swept through his body like a storm. If he could not quickly consume this out-of-control energy, he would definitely explode and die.
Zhang Xiaozhu would like to thank the Black Giant Ape, because if the Black Giant Ape hadn't discovered his problem at the first time, got him out of the alchemy furnace, and took the trouble to make gestures to let him understand what was going on, he would have been dead now. His life was cut short.
He had been running around with heavy weight all afternoon, but with little effect. His body was still bloated and not even an inch had gone away. At this rate of consumption, he felt like he would have to run non-stop for a month.
state--
Dang clang——
The black giant ape, which had been dragging its chin in deep thought all afternoon, ran away without warning, stood up and slapped the alchemy furnace several dozen feet away. Then several of them jumped in front of Zhang Xiaopu, grabbed Zhang Xiaopu and climbed up the cliff.
call--
On the peak above the sky, the biting cold wind was still blowing. From time to time, a small whirlwind blew by, turning up the snow foam on the ground and flying all over the sky.
Zhang Xiaozu climbed to the top again, but he was not shivering from the cold like last night. The biting cold wind just soothed the burning pain on his skin, and instead made him feel cool and comfortable.
Compared to running with a heavy load, Zhang Xiaopou has better and faster ways to consume energy, such as using the "Three Steps to Kill" sword technique that combines Hantan dance postures, but for some reason, the Black Giant Ape does not allow him to do this and only allows him to Running with a heavy load.
Without the urging of the black giant ape, Zhang Xiaozu consciously picked up the boulder he used last night and raised it above his head.
When the boulder reached the top, Zhang Xiaozu was slightly surprised because he clearly felt that the boulder was much lighter. Oh no, to be precise, it was because his strength had increased, giving the illusion that the boulder had become lighter.
Although his body was bloated, Zhang Xiaozu felt that the soles of his feet were more stable. He tried it and was able to trot. However, when training ended this morning, he could only walk slowly while holding the boulder.
Before Zhang Xiaopou had time to be happy, he felt the boulder above his head suddenly sinking, weighing him down so much that he almost fell over.
"What a fool!" Zhang Xiaopou yelled angrily because the black giant ape jumped onto the boulder above his head, apparently intending to sit on it and treat him like a donkey or a horse.
Zhang Xiaozu had no choice but to curse the black giant ape. With the weight of a black giant ape on top of his head, the speed of his feet returned to the turtle speed of yesterday.
But the difference is that today he doesn't need to eat the dark, wrinkled dried fruit, nor does he need to stop to rest, because there is an endless pour of energy in his body waiting for him to consume.
The sun rises in the east, and the first ray of sunshine in the morning shines on Zhang Xiaozu. He is still walking with a heavy load, and his pace is much steadier and faster than at the beginning last night.
The black giant ape lay on the boulder and slept soundly, and its drum-like snoring shook a few pieces of snow from the cliff from time to time.
Zhang Xiaozu's bloated body was reduced by one-third, making his movements much more flexible. His skin is still red with bloodshot eyes, which is the result of the burns and may not go away in a short time.
The sun sets in the west and the day flies by in the blink of an eye.
However, for Zhang Xiaozhu, this day was boring and long. For the first time, he felt the boringness of cultivation mentioned by Qi Ronger. At the same time, he also understood what Qi Ronger said: Those with great perseverance may not be able to Cultivation of the body can lead to the realization of the Great Way; but those without great perseverance will never be able to cultivate the body and realize the Great Way.
Sunrise and sunset, sunset and sunrise.
Zhang Xiaozu endured the loneliness and boredom without stopping or resting, like a tireless machine that kept repeating an instruction. He couldn't remember the past few days. It seemed like five days, and it seemed like six days. He only knew that his footsteps had smoothed out the snow covering a hundred feet in radius, and he only knew that the steps under his feet were becoming more and more steady.
In the endless loneliness and boredom, he actually found the pleasure of cultivation. Every time the black giant ape added weight to his head, he always felt a sense of conquest, feeling that he had overcome another level of difficulty.
When the sun rose in the east again, Zhang Xiaozhu's bloated body finally returned to its original shape. No, it became more well-proportioned and stronger than before. The graceful muscle lines outlined an endless sense of strength.
But what displeased Zhang Xiaozu was that his skin was still red and looked like it had been cooked. What's even worse is that since he came out of the alchemy furnace, his body has been emitting an alluring aroma, making him more like a cooked barbecue.
Gulu——
Zhang Xiaozu's stomach growled with hunger. This was the first time he felt hungry in several days, a strange yet familiar feeling.
Boom!
The giant black ape jumped up from the cliff and landed in front of Zhang Xiaozu. Its huge body shook the ground.
It was holding a thick stick over two feet long in its hand, with a black rope wrapped around its thick waist. It didn't know what it wanted to do.
boom!
Zhang Xiaozu threw the boulder aside, pointed at the black giant ape with his shriveled belly, and then pointed at his mouth, which meant to tell the black giant ape that he was hungry and wanted to eat.
The black giant ape smiled and nodded.
Yes, that's right, it laughed.
Zhang Xiaopou suddenly felt terrified and jumped back without thinking. Last time, the black giant ape just glanced at him with ill intentions and threw him into the alchemy furnace to be boiled. Now it actually smiled at him. He didn't even dare to think about what bad things this black guy had in his stomach.
The giant black ape took a step forward and reached out to grab Zhang Xiaopou.
Zhang Xiaozu had already been concentrating and waiting for this move. He twisted his feet, spun his body, and flew backwards with his back against the ground. The fingertips of the black giant ape brushed against his body. This time, it missed the mark.
The black giant ape grabbed the opportunity and was obviously stunned for a moment. However, he did not rush to follow up. Instead, he scanned Zhang Xiaopou up and down with interest. Suddenly, it punched out, hitting Zhang Xiaopeng from top to bottom.
Zhang Xiaopou turned sideways and dodged its attack again. The movements were clean and neat, giving people a very relaxed feeling, because he completely captured the black giant ape's attack line, and his body kept up with the reaction speed of his brain.
"Haha——" Zhang Xiaozu was in a happy mood and couldn't help laughing up to the sky. He pointed at the black giant ape and said provocatively: "Black-haired beast, if you haven't seen me for three days, you should look at me with admiration. You will never catch me again——"
Zhang Xiaozu's shouting stopped suddenly because the arm he was pointing at was grabbed by the black giant ape, and he didn't even see clearly how the black giant ape took action.
Bang bang bang——
The consequences of failing to show off are often miserable.
Zhang Xiaopou was like a rag bag, grabbed by one arm by the black giant ape and violently smashed against the ground.
One after another, large human-shaped pits appeared on the hard and smooth ground, accompanied by Zhang Xiaopou's miserable screams.
Zhang Xiaozu really wanted to say to the Black Giant Ape: "Brother, let me go. I know I was wrong and I won't dare to do it again."
It's a pity that the black giant ape didn't give him a chance and beat him until his head was bloody. After he didn't even have the strength to move his legs, the black giant ape let him go.
Zhang Xiaopou had more air coming out and less air coming in. He collapsed on the ground like a puddle of meat.
The black giant ape untied the black rope from his waist. The rope was as thick as his little finger and more than three feet long. It tied Zhang Xiaopeng's hands and feet together, and tied a long stone weighing several dozen kilograms to Zhang Xiaopeng's body. Then he tied the other end of the rope to the thick stick in his hand, and then swung the stick to lift Zhang Xiaopour. got up.
The black giant ape carried a wooden stick on his shoulders, and Zhang Xiaopeng hung dangling on it and jumped in one direction. After climbing two hills, it stopped.
Zhang Xiaozu was hanging in the air, feeling that the temperature in the air suddenly dropped a lot, so cold that he couldn't help but shiver. He was curious about why the black giant ape stopped and looked up. When his eyes fell on a cold blue lake, he immediately understood what the black giant ape was going to do.
"Black-haired beast, I will fight you until death!" Zhang Xiaozu roared angrily.
Whoosh!
The black giant ape held the thick stick in both hands and threw the stick forward, and Zhang Xiaopeng flew out directly.
Gudong!
Zhang Xiaozu had a stone weighing dozens of kilograms tied to his body, which was very heavy, so the sound of entering the water was very clear.
The black giant ape squatted down by the lake and stared at the rope attentively.
Yes, it is fishing, and Zhang Xiaozu is the bait for fishing.
Zhang Xiaozhu burst into tears. He never thought that he would be boiled in the alchemy furnace, but he never thought that he would be used as bait and sink into the lake. He didn't feel very sad, he just felt that the black-haired beast didn't regard him as a human being at all.
what to do?
Zhang Xiaozhu was a little confused for a moment because he had never had any experience in this area.
I don’t blame him, because anyone else would not have had the experience of being tied to a rope and used as bait.
Unfortunately, he had just been severely tortured by the black giant ape, and he didn't even have the strength to struggle. He could only let his body be dragged by the long stone and sink into the lake.
The water in the lake is so cold that it penetrates my bones like needles. Zhang Xiaozu only persisted for a moment, and then he shivered from the cold.
Just when he was guessing whether he would attract the fish first, freeze to death first, or drown first, a big white fish suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
