Ye Xing has no worries about going into the mountains. After more than ten years of training, he knows the mountains and forests well. As long as he doesn't act carelessly, there should be no problem.
His purpose is to hunt, collect herbs, and see how powerful a real tiger is.
In the outer mountains and forests, there will still be people hunting, collecting herbs, etc., but deep into the mountains, there are all kinds of powerful beasts.
It is basically inaccessible, and ordinary mountain people have no courage to go deep into it.
In fact, Ye Xing had never gone too deep into the mountains and forests before. With his sensitive hearing and vision, he had nothing to worry about.
He is very cautious, and carefulness is the most important thing.
Sure enough, Ye Xing soon discovered a big snake lying on the tree branch of the dense forest in front of him. He took out the flying knife in his hand and hit it seven inches in the middle.
Ye Xing quickly peeled the skin to get the bile, and also took a long piece of snake meat, saving it for lunch.
You must leave the scene immediately, otherwise, the smell of blood will soon attract wild beasts.
If there were large beasts or small beasts, Ye Xing didn't think he could escape unscathed.
He smeared a lot of powder on his body that could repel snakes and insects. The insects would not come close to him. When he was pulling away the grass in the dense forest, Ye Xing found a few rare herbs, so he went forward to pick them and put them in his bag.
Gradually going deep into the mountains, there is no road at all, and it is all densely forested. Ye Xing basically had to use his knife to chop down miscellaneous trees before he could move forward.
After entering the forest for more than ten miles, there were many ferocious beasts. Soon after, Ye Xing saw an adult male tiger, which was probably patrolling the territory.
The tigers in this world are somewhat similar to the tigers on Earth. The only difference is that they are huge, several times larger than those on Earth.
It looks like a moving hill, with two sharp fangs extending out, extremely powerful and ferocious.
Ye Xing didn't dare to get too close. He hid in a huge tree and held his breath. He had never dealt with a real tiger in so many years.
In the past, Ye Xing had only fought against animals such as wolves and wild deer, and they had always hunted them from a distance with arrows.
It was completely different now, and he was a little nervous inside. The unparalleled pressure made him breathless and uncomfortable.
Ye Xing observed the tiger's posture from a distance and simulated it over and over in his mind. Tigers have a habit of peeing and pooping on the edge of their territory.
This is used as a territorial mark and to attract the opposite sex, and it also makes a very low roar.
The tiger's footsteps alternated between light and heavy, and landed silently. This was just patrolling the territory, not hunting for prey, but the way it looked like it could attack at any time was chilling.
Only Ye Xing's hearing was so good that he could hear the slightest sound. His eyesight was also excellent and he could see everything clearly.
Ye Xing benefited a lot from the tiger's move. Ye Xing has been thinking about how to do this silently.
Even a person like Ye Xing himself, who is very good at making light of his body, can still make rustling sounds on the ground.
Ye Xing followed from a distance and followed the tiger to a valley, which should be the tiger's daily resting place.
There are not many trees in the valley, and one side is a rocky mountain. This may be the home of tigers.
There is no cave, just surrounded by mountains on three sides, but the smell here is extremely strong, and no small animals should dare to approach it.
After careful observation, he found that there was a cave in the middle of the mountain. Ye Xing could easily touch it. It was very dry inside and not very deep.
But it was a bit open inside, so one could move around freely, but just in time, Ye Xing decided to stay here.
After putting down the baggage, Ye Xing took advantage of the tiger's sleeping time to go down and get a lot of dry firewood, lit a fire and roasted the snake meat to eat, and took out the water hyacinth to drink some water.
Then he started to take out the booklet to review. After so many days of memorizing, Ye Xing had memorized all the contents of the book.
Three pages of general outline, 36 small pictures and annotations. Now sit at the entrance of the cave and take it out to look at it again.
A few days ago, I had been looking at it under an oil lamp at night. Now it was noon. Ye Xing carefully looked at each page and found that the silk cloth had patterns. It seemed that it had been wet and dried in the sun, but it had become crepey.
I checked it over and over again and gave up after finding nothing wrong with it.
Then, Ye Xing went to observe the tiger, but he was probably tired and not too hungry. The tiger was very lazy and just sleeping. The cry was so loud that it really shook half a mile.
Ye Xing decided to wake it up and hit the tiger with stones. As expected, the tiger became furious, jumped up, flew several feet high, and threw itself on the rock. The tiger was shocked.
Ye Xing teased the tiger over and over again, making it very angry. He was halfway up the mountain, and the tiger could only roar, but there was nothing he could do.
Ye Xing just wanted to feel the tiger's momentum, because the distance was really not too far, but the tiger couldn't get up, which was really scary.
The momentum was like a mountain, and Ye Xing's heart was beating very fast. He knew that there was no danger, but he couldn't stop feeling chilled.
In the evening, the tiger went to look for food. Ye Xing followed from a distance and observed the details. For five days, Ye Xing followed behind. In addition to collecting herbs, he observed the tiger. At night, he simulated practicing tiger-shaped boxing.
I feel like I have made a lot of progress. To be honest, if you have never seen a real tiger, you cannot understand the overwhelming pressure.
On the 6th day, Ye Xing tried to get close to the male tiger. His reaction speed ensured his safety. As soon as the tiger made a move, he would climb up the tree or quickly go behind the tree, making the tiger angry but helpless.
And provoking the tiger many times finally made Ye Xing lose his fear. As long as he was careful and quick, it was not as scary as he thought.
On the 10th day, he simply fought with the tiger directly. The result was very unfortunate. He had many scars on his body, including a very serious scar on his back, and his clothes were torn into strips.
If Ye Xing hadn't reacted really quickly and cut the old tiger's front paw with a knife, it might have been a bit bad.
Ye Xing collected a lot of herbs, and his body's recovery ability was very good. He had nothing to worry about with this kind of skin injury, but it still prevented him from leaving the cave for three days, and drinking water later became a problem.
On the 15th day, Ye Xing was just around the corner and challenged the tiger again. He still relied on his Qinggong speed. As soon as the tiger made a move, he was already dozens of feet away.
On the 20th day, he was able to fight to a tie with the tiger. Of course, his strength was far inferior, but using a knife to dodge the fight meant that the tiger could not take any advantage.
And his dodge skills are far superior. After the tiger figured out those moves, he was not afraid at all.
On the 24th day, Ye Xing also learned the force technique of rubbing his palms, so that the tiger could not touch him at all. Instead, he tortured the tiger with a knife, and finally the tiger was too tired to ignore him.
Of course, Ye Xing still didn't dare to pay too much attention to it. The tiger-fighting hero wouldn't dare to do it, but it didn't stop him from having fun.
A few days later, Ye Xing felt that the essence of Tiger Shape Boxing had been obtained, so he let the tiger play for 30 days and left the valley. He wanted to collect some more herbs before returning to town.
After crossing several small peaks, we came to a very small valley. There was a small pool at the bottom of the valley. The pool was overflowing with water, and a thin stream of water flowed out of the valley.
After not taking a shower for more than 30 days, Ye Xing decided to take a shower.
Not daring to be careless, I first observed for a long time and found that the valley was too small, there were no animals, and there were no beasts or snakes hidden around it.
The pool was very small, and the water should have come out from underneath. When I touched the water, I found it was extremely low-temperature water, so cold it made me shiver.
Ye Xing took off his clothes, washed them with old clothes in cold water, and washed away all the dirt from more than thirty days.
When I was getting dressed, I accidentally got the cover of the "Mianruzhang" booklet wet.
When he picked it up and looked at it, Ye Xing noticed a small bulge on the cover of the booklet.
I always thought that the cover was the skin of some kind of animal, but now it seems that it is not. Ye Xing used a knife to open the small package and found that there was another layer inside.
So, the cover was completely smeared with water. After a while, I lightly scraped it with a knife, and all the inside was exposed.
There were hundreds of words written in dark red on the inside of the cover. Ye Xing took a closer look and saw that it was a cultivation formula. It was very simple, and it was actually an internal method for cultivating water-type functions.
Ye Xing was extremely excited. He studied "Mianru Zhang" by himself. He had memorized the general outline and moves, but did not practice it.
Because I have no internal strength at all. Without internal strength, I am just a showman and an external force.
I believe that the old man in black didn’t discover this inner strength formula, otherwise he would never have given it to Ye Xing.
Because from Uncle Lin, he had learned that only disciples of the sect were qualified to cultivate internal energy, and the formula was a secret of the sect and could never be passed on to others.
Now that he has obtained the inner strength method, it is really hard-won. Ye Xing feels that he is really lucky.
Ye Xing gathered some branches around, surrounded the small valley, sprinkled insect repellent powder around, and threw some dried tiger dung on the outside.
Then I sat by the small pool and soaked the whole booklet in water. I found that only the cover had an inner layer.
Ye Xing first recited these hundreds of words 10 times, memorized them completely, and then began to analyze the mantra.
