Yan Zheng pricked his finger with a sharp stone, and then quickly squeezed out a drop of blood from the wound. An almost imperceptible scarlet blood rose from the wound, and the hideous wound healed instantly.
Yan Zheng grimaced at the pain. The vitality brought by the red gauze bodhi gave his body a strong ability to repair itself, but he could not avoid the pain. This was already his fifth attempt. Squeezing out such a small drop.
He carefully dipped the drop of blood onto a branch, covered it with a thick layer of fallen leaves, and then hid not far away, lowering his body and hiding his entire body in a low bush.
A moment later, a brown fox-like monster appeared silently. It sniffed the surrounding scent with its pointed nose from time to time, and its two alien-shaped ears stood up vigilantly, listening to the surrounding sounds.
Although the secluded realm is dangerous and mysterious, it also has a food chain similar to that of nature. The squid monster that died with Luo Tianchen before can only be regarded as a low-level predator in the food chain, while the intermediate predators are even under the leadership of Luo Tianchen. Regular armies are unwilling to confront them head-on, let alone those at the top of the food chain. When they are hungry, they will devour tens of thousands of low-level monsters in one go to satisfy their appetite. Since the establishment of the dynasty, there have been many stories about them. There are very few records, but every time they appear, they are accompanied by the complete destruction of border towns and the mysterious disappearance of residents. To deal with them, several peak experts must take action.
The fox monster in front of Yan Zheng is at the end of the food chain and is regarded as high-quality food by many monsters. It is said that many nobles in the royal city also like this kind of game. After all, they are used to eating domestic livestock and always think about it. Taste something fresh.
The fox tentatively approached the pile of fallen leaves. Its sense of smell told it that there was extremely delicious food under the pile of fallen leaves. The fox stretched out its two front paws to explore, and with a few clicks, it dug out the branch Yan Zheng had buried in. It put its nose close to the branch, sniffing the blood on it, and slowly relaxed its vigilance.
Yan Zheng gradually tightened his muscles, like a cheetah staring at food and waiting for an opportunity. He quietly reached out of the bushes and slowly walked around behind the fox. The fox's hearing and smell were both very keen. , any disturbance will disturb it. Yan Zheng doesn't want to miss this opportunity. If he misses this opportunity, he doesn't know when he will have to wait for the next one.
Yan Zheng raised the flywheel in his hand and threw it towards the fox. The flywheel silently drew an arc in mid-air and cut into the fox's hind legs. The fox howled and fell to the ground. It turned its head and thought He wanted to bite off his legs to escape, but how could Yan Zheng let go of this hard-won opportunity.
He suddenly rushed forward and pushed the fox to the ground, then pulled out the sharp flywheel and cut off the fox's head with just one move. The fox's hind legs kicked hard a few times, and then stopped completely. Yan Zheng moved quickly He picked up the fox's body and ran in the opposite direction.
Although the time spent is short enough, the howling of the fox just now will inevitably attract the attention of other monsters. If they are curious and come to take a look, Yan Zheng will most likely serve them a double meal with the fox, and they will probably run away. In a safe place, Yan Zheng threw the fox to the ground and leaned against the tree to catch his breath.
He took out a few yellow berries from his arms and threw them into his mouth. They were just picked in the morning. The naturally growing plants were not pruned and the fruits were smaller, but they tasted sweet and sour and were used to satisfy his hunger. It's still more than enough. Under the current circumstances, it would be nice to have some.
After a long night last night, the sun finally rose into the sky again. Its warm rays filtered through the dense trees and cast mottled light and shadow on the ground. This should have been a beautiful scenery that makes people forget to leave. However, with a sad face However, Yan Zheng could not relax. This forest was astonishingly large, and the depths were full of dangers. It was difficult to survive, let alone catch up with the large army. Fortunately, Bian Juntong did not have the wild survival skills. Forget it, at least he won't be reborn due to starvation in a short period of time.
Yan Zheng used a cane to hang the fox upside down on a tree branch, then took out a sharp flywheel and slit the fox's throat. Warm blood flowed from the wound and then flowed into the pre-dug pit. Although the blood contained A lot of nutrients, but the smell was too strong. Yan Zheng couldn't find anything to store it properly, so he had to bear the pain and throw it all away.
When the blood flow was almost gone, Yan Zheng used Feilun's blade to make an incision along the fox's torso, and then stretched out his hand to tear off the fur from the muscles. The fox monster was not that big, and it was easy to cut off the upper part of it. All the skin was torn off.
A complete fox fur waistcoat is the favorite of many noble ladies. Unfortunately, Yan Zheng does not have such skill. In the past, he has only seen old frontier soldiers skinning them. This is the first time he has done it himself. Fortunately, it is not as difficult as he imagined. , there is a lot of skin residue on the lower part, but it is finally peeled off.
The soft abdominal muscles were easily cut open by the sharp flywheel, revealing the internal organs. Yan Zheng reached out and took out all the internal organs, discarding them into a small pit filled with blood below. Then he simply cut the fox meat into pieces with the flywheel. It is a block that is easy to carry, wrapped in fur with residual warmth, and the small hole is filled in with the surrounding soil and fallen leaves.
Yan Zheng picked up the packaged fox meat and walked towards the cave where he was hiding last night. This work took a lot of time, and before he knew it, it was approaching noon. This was also a helpless move. He did not dare to hide in the cave. He hunts nearby for fear of being followed by monsters. This way, he constantly changes locations and hides his traces. Although it is troublesome, it can also ensure maximum safety.
The demonic snake is still entrenched around the cave where it lives, frightening ordinary demonic beasts so that they dare not approach. The environment of the secluded realm is elusive. In such a warm environment, the demonic snake's body has not rotted, leaving aside the dry Even without seeing the blood, it can even be said to be lifelike.
Yan Zheng took out a few pieces of fox meat wrapped in fur, skewered it with a branch, and then put the remaining fox meat into the cave. If he wanted to get out of the forest, he must store enough food. Exploring outwards from the center of the cave is just a stopgap measure. He will have to leave here sooner or later.
The sparks from hitting the flywheel with a stone ignited the dry wood chips, and then ignited the branches stacked above. Yan Zheng picked up the threaded meat skewers and put them on the fire to grill. After a while, the slightly burnt meat skewers It exuded a wonderful aroma, and Yan Zheng devoured the barbecue. He felt that he was still unsatisfied. Maybe it was because he had been hungry for too long. He felt that these pieces of unseasoned meat were better than what he had eaten at any barbecue restaurant in the world. fragrant.
With the warmth of the fire, Yan Zheng sat cross-legged on the ground and started to use the cultivation method. The world is full of spiritual energy, and all things can become immortals as long as they obtain the method. The path to immortality is divided into four realms, namely Yuxu and Qingxu. , Chongxu, Taixu, each realm is divided into upper level, middle level and lower level.
Among them, only after entering Yuxu can one be considered a true cultivator. The previous Luo Tianchen had an intermediate level of cultivation in Yuxu. For his age, he could be regarded as a pillar of talent, and the two people in Weisuo were Only those who have reached the level of Qingxu or above can hold the position of Dutong.
After entering the realm of Chongxu, one will be respected by the world as a real person. He can soar into the clouds and ride on the mist, transform into fractals and shadows, be flexible, have brilliance flow through his body, and can transform the heaven and earth for his own use.
As for Taixu, who is at the highest level, there are only a few people in the dynasty. They live in the blessed land of Cave Heaven all year round, and will never show up easily unless there is a natural disaster. Yan Zheng's understanding of them is only limited to what is described in the book. The words are transcendent, channeling spirits, moving mountains and filling seas, and moving the universe.
The Dalin Dynasty advocates monasticism. Not only are there many monks stationed in the frontier army, but also the most basic cultivation methods are taught to Yan Zheng and others at the lowest level, although they may not even have the effect of building a foundation, or even Even if they practice to the end, they will not reach the Yuxu realm, but for ordinary people like them, it is more than enough to forge their muscles and bones and strengthen their bodies by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
"Stop fighting and turn into force, and peace will prevail within the sea. Although the world is safe, if you forget to fight, you will be in danger."
Silently reciting the formula in his heart, Yan Zheng operated the cultivation method named "Zhi Ge Jue" according to his memory. He didn't know anything about Zhou Tian Qi, he just drove the scarlet blood energy left by the red gauze bodhi in his body. As the meridians around the body circulate, a faint scarlet mist is left around the meridians passed by the scarlet blood, quietly nourishing Yan Zheng's body.
Yan Zheng continued to drive the scarlet blood forward. After running for several days, his whole body was soaked in scarlet mist. Then his heart suddenly beat, and a new stream of blood burst out from his heart. When it comes out, like a raging tide pouring into the meridians, this blood is different from the previous blood. The color is deeper, and the spiritual energy contained in it is extremely pure and does not require any refining. With Yan Zheng's thoughts, , runs along the meridians, and finally returns to the heart.
Yan Zheng stood up and briefly moved his somewhat stiff body. For a time traveler, the feeling of practicing for the first time was very wonderful. If he had to describe this feeling, it was like coming to the gym after a hearty exercise. Like a glass of iced Coke.
He waved his fist casually, feeling that both speed and strength had improved to a certain extent. If he continued to practice at this pace, although he could not defeat the monster alone, he would not be as embarrassed as last night. He definitely couldn't beat him. He had to have the ability to escape. He didn't want to get out of the belly of a monster again.
