Among the mountains to the east of Mount Baekdu, there is a peak that reaches straight into the clouds.
There is a pointed rock protruding obliquely on the top of this mountain, shaped like an eagle's beak, hence the name Eagle's Beak Cliff.
The red sun was rising, and under the Eagle's Mouth Cliff, a vigorous figure was climbing up the cliff unhurriedly.
I saw this man holding a long nail-like steel awl in his hand. He used an ax to drive the steel awl into the hard stone wall, and then used it as a fulcrum to move upward.
Repeatedly, although the speed is not fast, the walking is very steady.
"More exciting than extreme sports in previous lives."
Zhao Lin glanced at the towering peak and muttered.
The cliff is so smooth and steep that if you are not careful, you will fall from mid-air and die.
If it weren't for the purpose of opening the second grid of the Spiritual Beast Map, he wouldn't have ventured deep into this place to look for the legendary rock donkey.
The biggest reason why Zhao Lin dared to do this was his strong hands and strong endurance. He didn't have to worry about running out of energy halfway through the climb.
After spending a long time, just when he was about to climb to the top of the cliff, he suddenly heard a noise.
Zhao Lin looked up and saw a dozen antelope-like animals with long black horns appearing above his head.
These animals stand on an almost vertical cliff, flying with amazing bounces and precise ups and downs. At this time, the top of the mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, making them look like they are flying in the clouds.
"Is this Yan Lu?" Zhao Lin was dumbfounded.
When he reached the top of the cliff, the animals were already gone.
Zhao Lin looked around and saw that the top of the cliff was extremely open. Except for scattered woods, there were rocks and low shrubs everywhere.
Yan Lu looked at Zhao Lin from a distance, seemingly curious about this creature with upright legs.
As soon as Zhao Lin approached, they scattered and fled at an unbelievable speed.
At this time, Zhao Lin could clearly see the appearance of the rock donkey. It was very similar to the antelope seen on TV in his previous life. It was bigger than a sheep but much smaller than a donkey. He didn't know why he got the name "yan donkey".
"Let's call you Impalas."
Zhao Lin saw that the two curved horns of the rock donkey were shiny and black, so he casually named them.
The weather outside the mountain was warm, but the wind was still freezing on the top of the mountain. Zhao Lin tightened his clothes and sat on a large rock to quietly observe the blackhorns.
The blackhorn's jumping posture is very graceful, with its small white tail standing upright, its neck stretched out, its four hooves spread out, its head and buttocks pointed upward as much as possible, and its body almost forming an anti-arch shape.
With a single leap, he is three meters high, effortlessly.
"It's the speed I want."
Zhao Lin nodded with satisfaction, thinking that his hard work was not in vain.
If he absorbs the soul of the blackhorn, his speed will definitely reach a higher level.
He had already thought up a capture plan before he came. It was impossible to catch them by chasing them, and there was no hope of a sneak attack. The best way was to set traps in places where they often move.
At noon, the blackhorns gathered at a creek in the shade on the top of the cliff to drink water. Zhao Lin had an idea and decided to set a trap next to the water source.
He took out the rope he had prepared in advance, tied the knot, tied one end of the rope to a rock or a tree trunk, and made more than a dozen nooses in one breath.
The nooses were placed around the creek. After doing this, Zhao Lin walked far away, waiting for the prey to jump into the trap.
The mountain wind howled and the sand hit his face, Zhao Lin hid in a sheltered place and waited quietly for time to pass.
At dusk, he heard a violent flapping sound and hurried to the place where he had set the trap. He found that he had caught three impalas.
One impala calf, one female impala, and one male impala.
"Is it a family of three?"
Zhao Lin untied a knot and released the little impala first.
The little impala regained its freedom and immediately ran away, but did not go far, bleating.
Zhao Lin looked at it as if it was attached to his mother, so he let the female blackhorn go.
It was inconvenient to walk on the mountain road, so he could only bring one prey with him as a favor.
The remaining male blackhorn was not so lucky, and his neck was broken by Zhao Lin.
Soon, the spirit of the impala slowly rose up, gathering and taking shape above the corpse.
The spirit beast map moved again.
Sure enough, there was a reaction!
Zhao Lin was overjoyed and breathed in, sucking the impala's soul into his body.
The soul of the black horned antelope is completely different from the souls of the old scalper and bear bear that were absorbed before.
The essences of Xiong Zan and Old Scalper mainly strengthen muscles and bones, while the essence of Blackhorn goes deep into the connection between muscles and bones, repeatedly stimulating fascia, especially tendons, Achilles tendons, ligaments and other joints.
Zhao Lin felt that his tendons were being pulled out, stretched like rubber bands, and twisted into twists...
In fact, after experiencing the pain of skin training, Zhao Lin's pain tolerance ability has been very strong, but this novel experience still made him feel sour.
There was no one around, so he simply yelled to relieve his pain.
After a long time, the pain finally subsided.
Zhao Lin stood up, stretched out his hands, and moved his feet. He felt a surge of power surge inside his body, like a wild horse running wild in his body.
Running, the desire to run has never been so strong.
Zhao Lin left the stream and saw a thick dead tree trunk not far ahead. It was estimated that the distance was about a hundred meters.
He leaned over and squatted down, placing his hands on the ground, squatting with one leg in front and kneeling with the other leg behind him, as if he were running a 100-meter race.
"Get ready...run!"
Zhao Lin shouted a slogan to himself, exerted force on his legs, and his body bounced out with a "scratch".
The wind roared in his ears, and Zhao Lin felt explosive power all over his body, and his legs swung rapidly.
In a few blinks of an eye, people arrived in front of the big tree.
"I go!"
He quickly stopped his strength, put one foot on the ground at the same time, tilted his body to one side, and almost hit the tree trunk.
After calming his body, Zhao Lin gasped for breath, feeling very excited.
If I were to go back to my previous life, I would never be able to run with two Olympic gold medals: one in weightlifting and one in 100 meters.
If it evolves for a while, events with both strength and explosiveness such as shot put, discus, javelin, etc. can also be included in the bag.
In other words, the spirit of the Impala mainly increases speed, but it also has a supporting effect on strength.
He silently experienced the two completely different changes brought about by the two spirits.
The Xiong Pi focuses on absolute strength, while the Impala emphasizes explosive power. The former is powerful in the traditional sense, while the most intuitive manifestation of the latter is a significant increase in speed and agility.
In short, power and speed.
Zhao Lin took a deep breath. This was the first time he felt safe since he traveled through time.
Strength gives him confidence, but speed gives him a sense of security.
Because with speed, you can be invincible. If you can't beat someone, you can run away.
At this time, Zhao Lin noticed that there was an impala head in the second grid of the spiritual animal map in his mind.
Zhao Lin suddenly had a question in his mind: Now that he has two spirits, how should he distribute the absorbed energy?
Now that he needed to replenish a lot of food, he immediately sat down, took out the pancakes, dried meat and other food he had brought with him, and ate them with water.
After a while, white mist appeared in two grids at the same time. There was obviously more white fog in the grid where the blackhorn was than in the grid of Xiong Zhi, and there was nearly half more.
It seems that the spirit beast map knows how to distribute the energy of these foods, so there is no need to worry!
