In recent times, Zhou Wen has absorbed a lot of vitality crystals, including many god-level crystals. It feels like the vitality pills have reached their limit and are about to break through.
But I don't know why, every time when the critical moment comes, I still fail to take that step, as if something is missing.
"What's missing?" Zhou Wen looked at the diamond-like vitality pill in front of him, frowning and thinking.
What is lacking is obviously not energy, but the original body's vitality pills have absorbed a lot of god-level vitality crystals. Both the quality and quantity of energy far exceed the requirements for the evolution of the initial body's life soul.
"If it's not a lack of energy, then why can't the Yuanqi Pill evolve?" Zhou Wen thought about it, but couldn't think of a reason.
While I was thinking about it, a message on my phone suddenly rang. I took out my phone and looked at it, and found that it was actually from Feng Qiuyan.
Feng Qiuyan rarely talks, but most people don't understand what he says.
"Coach, thank you for your teaching. I have overcome my weaknesses and have achieved some success in my swordsmanship. If you have time, can you help me take a look at my swordsmanship?"
Zhou Wen looked at Feng Qiuyan's sword skills and was as baffled as ever, but he was used to it, so he casually replied: "I won't be able to return to the academy until the day after tomorrow at the earliest, and I'll go find you then."
"I can't wait any longer. Coach, whichever way you go, I'll find you." Feng Qiuyan replied.
Zhou Wen sent his route to Feng Qiuyan. There was nothing to do on the road anyway, so it would be nice to have someone to greet him.
Putting away the vitality pill, Zhou Wen continued to brush the Lutai dungeon. The mirror eye was promoted smoothly. At this rate, it is estimated that it will not take a few days to be promoted to the evolved body.
Zhou Wen was playing a game when he suddenly felt a tattoo on his body trembling. Before he could call him, the companion pet automatically left his body.
"Little baby, what happened?" Zhou Wen asked strangely when he saw the demon baby staring at the lake on the roadside.
"Food." The demon baby replied, still staring at the lake.
Zhou Wen really doesn't know what food the Demon Infant is talking about, because her food is so weird that even the guardians can regard it as food, and the Demon Infant is the only one.
The lake on the roadside was not too big, and Ting Ting could directly cover it, but he found nothing strange.
There are some ordinary creatures in this lake, including a lot of fish and shrimps, but there are no dimensional creatures, and there is no dimensional realm nearby.
I looked at the map on my phone and found that there was no lake marked on the map.
"Where is the food?" Zhou Wen had no choice but to ask the Demon Infant.
The demon baby stretched out his finger and pointed at the center of the lake.
Zhou Wen noticed that she was pointing to the surface of the lake, not the inside of the lake, so he squinted his eyes and looked over.
I saw a bamboo pole standing in the middle of the lake, with a scarecrow hanging on it.
"The food you are talking about, is that scarecrow?" Zhou Wen asked, pointing at the scarecrow.
The demon baby nodded, still looking at the straw man.
Because all the longevity fruits that I got before have been eaten, the demon baby hasn't eaten in the past few days, so he is probably a little hungry.
"I'll help you get it back," Zhou Wen said.
"Danger." The demon baby shook his little head and said seriously.
The Demon Infant rarely speaks, but she can talk about danger. This is the first time she heard it, and Zhou Wen couldn't help but take a serious look at the scarecrow in the center of the lake again.
Just looking at its body, there is really nothing special about it. It is a straw man made of straw, and you can listen clearly to the internal structure of its body. There is nothing but straw.
In addition to the body made of straw, it also has tattered clothes and a straw hat. It doesn't seem to have anything special. This straw man was probably placed here to prevent water birds from preying on the fish in the lake.
It seems that it has been here for a long time. The straw hat and clothes have faded and rotted, and the body made of straw is also somewhat moldy. No matter how you look at it, it is just an ordinary scarecrow.
The Demonic Infant bit his lip, glanced at the scarecrow, then jumped back on the back of the mighty vajra bull, and said, "Let's go."
Zhou Wen was shocked and turned around to look at the scarecrow. He saw that it was still standing there like a dead thing, and there was nothing scary about it at all.
However, Zhou Wen still believed the Demonic Infant's judgment and did not stop any longer, letting the mighty vajra bull run away and leave the lake.
After far away from the lake, the demon baby looked back, obviously still thinking about it.
"What is that?" Zhou Wen wanted to find out what the scarecrow was.
"Food." The demon baby couldn't explain clearly, he just said it was food.
Zhou Wen secretly made a note of this place, so as not to offend the scarecrow when he passed by here in the future, something that even the Demon Infant would be wary of, it was definitely not a trivial matter.
After walking for a long time, I suddenly saw a blue bird flying at an extremely fast speed in the distant sky. After a while, it arrived above Zhou Wen.
The huge blue bird circled a few times and landed from the sky. A figure floated down, and it was Feng Qiuyan.
"Coach, I'm here." Feng Qiuyan landed in front of the mighty vajra ox, and the blue bird turned into a tattoo and returned to Feng Qiuyan's body.
"You really didn't waste a moment." Zhou Wen said with a smile.
Feng Qiuyan said seriously: "After I overcame my weaknesses, my swordsmanship has improved a bit. I really wanted you to help me, coach, so I rushed over immediately."
"Then let me see how your sword skills have improved." Zhou Wen put Ya'er on the back of the Vajra Ox and flew down to the grass next to him.
Feng Qiuyan was not polite and directly summoned his Life Soul Sword, holding it in his hand and preparing to attack.
"Wait a minute, you said you have restrained your weaknesses, but what do you think is your weakness?" Zhou Wen said as he stopped Feng Qiuyan's attack.
Feng Qiuyan said sternly: "I have thought about this issue for a long time. Although there are many problems with my sword skills, those problems can be solved through practice, so they can only be said to be flaws rather than weaknesses. After thinking about it, my weaknesses There is only one, and that is loneliness.”
"Lonely?" Zhou Wen didn't understand what Feng Qiuyan meant.
"Yes, it is loneliness, because my sword skills are all for fighting alone, so if I am surrounded by masters of the same level, I will easily lose due to lack of physical strength or being overwhelmed." Feng Qiuyan said.
Zhou Wen thought: "Can this be considered a weakness? If this is a weakness, then all creatures in this world have such weaknesses."
"Then how did you overcome this weakness?" Zhou Wen was also a little curious at this time.
