"Are there any extraordinary creatures coming?"
Thinking of the pressure they felt during practice, Mo Zixuan and Su Xiaoxiao had cold sweat on their foreheads.
Under the pressure just now, the two of them seemed unable to even raise the consciousness to take action. It was like a threat that was higher than their life level.
"Probably not. Chaofan in the Qingcheng restricted area will not take action against Chaofan."
Mo Zixuan shook his head, "Maybe there is an extraordinary creature passing by, Xiaoxiao, let's be careful and don't practice today."
"Okay, let's keep watch."
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. Looking at the classmates who had no feelings, Su Xiaoxiao felt a little envious. Sometimes ignorance is also a kind of happiness.
But when he looked at Su Xiaofan who was more than 20 meters away, Su Xiaoxiao didn't feel so good. In the past, his brother protected him, but now it's the other way around.
Feeling the gaze from his sister, Su Xiaofan didn't even raise his eyelids.
I've solved all the trouble for you, but you still want me to keep vigil? There are no doors!
Now Su Xiaofan's mind is divided into four parts. One part is listening to the movements around the camp. Danger in the restricted area often comes unexpectedly.
One part is trying to figure out the weapon refining skills in my mind. There are two important steps in refining the natal flying sword, one is melting and the other is refining.
Fusion refers to the fusion of materials, fusing materials of different materials together to make them more suitable for flying swords.
This step requires the use of ground fire, and if you are not careful, the material will be damaged, so it must be mastered before refining.
The second step is of course refining, which is divided into two times. The first refining is to refine the rough embryo of the flying sword, so that it has a certain spirituality and can be absorbed into the body.
When you really start to refine the flying sword of your destiny, you need to refine it with your heart, and refine the flying sword that is already connected with your mind into the shape you want. Only in this way can the refining of the flying sword be considered successful.
It seems like there are only two steps, but if you want to refine the Innate Flying Sword, materials, cultivation, spiritual consciousness and luck are all indispensable.
Even among the disciples of the Sword Sect, there are several powerful Yinshen who still do not have their own flying swords.
Zhao Yijian obtained the lightning strike wood and will try to refine the natal flying sword in the near future.
The long sword that Zhao Yijian often carries on his back is the sword embryo that he has cultivated for more than ten years. At that time, the spirituality of the sword embryo will need to be integrated into the lightning strike wood to create a rough flying sword embryo.
But there is a high chance of failure in He Yiyi. Also, Su Xiaofan took a lot of lightning strikes this time, and Zhao Yijian still had the chance to make mistakes.
After carefully pondering the weapon refining technique, Su Xiaofan still needed to use a ray of consciousness to observe the evolving Duobao.
Now Duobao's small body is like a bottomless pit, frantically devouring the energy in the surrounding restricted area.
When he first entered the penalty area, Duobao was still passively absorbing energy.
But now it's the other way around. Its body seems to have a strong suction force. With every breath and breath, it sweeps the energy of the restricted area within dozens of meters into its body.
Fortunately, this place is already deep into the restricted area and has relatively abundant energy. Otherwise, in order to satisfy Duobao's ability to absorb energy, Su Xiaofan would have to take Duobao alone.
Duobao's body has still not changed after absorbing the forbidden energy for three days, and Su Xiaofan doesn't know when it will be fully evolved.
In fact, most creatures in the restricted area need a relatively long process to evolve into extraordinary ones.
After all, the restricted area is full of dangers, and they simply cannot absorb energy to evolve like Duobao without hesitation. They can only gradually absorb energy and change their physique.
Before I knew it, another night passed.
Mo Zixuan and Su Xiaoxiao didn't dare to practice all night. Fortunately, nothing happened.
The injured classmate has recovered a lot today and can at least get up and move.
However, Mo Zixuan still left one person to look after her. The others went out to look for herbs. There were not many opportunities to come to the restricted area to practice, and they didn't want to waste time.
As for Su Xiaofan, Mo Zixuan also saw some clues.
The main reason why Su Xiaofan didn't want to leave was because he was protecting the big cat, so Mo Zixuan didn't come to persuade him again.
"Um?"
After everyone left, Su Xiaofan's ears twitched. The creatures in the forest today seemed a little bloodthirsty.
Perhaps because it gnawed two people yesterday, the giant rats behaved a bit violently today. Shortly after the teams of Mo Zixuan and Su Xiaoxiao left the camp, they were attacked by the giant rats.
The strength of a single giant rat is actually about the same as that of a practitioner in the early stage of Qi training. Everyone in the team can use the giant rat to practice.
But more than a dozen giant rats were sent out together, and even Mo Zixuan and Su Xiaoxiao couldn't handle them. Soon someone in the team was injured and was forced back to the camp.
"how so?"
Looking at the classmates who were scratched on their legs, Su Xiaoxiao was a little dazed. Fortunately, the camp they chose had its back against a rock wall and a stream in front of it, so it was difficult for the giant rats to surround them.
"If you can't get out, kill the giant rat here!"
Mo Zixuan didn't know what happened, but they seemed to be trapped by the giant rat.
The main purpose of coming to the forbidden area is to let the students see blood and hunt some creatures in the forbidden area. This is called experience. As for collecting medicine, it is incidental.
Although these giant rats had appeared in the previous two days, most of them were sneak attacks. Today, they were tough and tough, which was in line with Mo Zixuan's wishes.
"Qingyao, you stand in front and kill a giant rat!"
Mo Zixuan and Su Xiaoxiao, one on the left and one on the right, prevented the giant rat from rushing into the camp, but they gave way to the middle.
"good!"
Zhao Qingyao, who had advanced to the middle stage of Qi training, had adjusted over the past two days, and without any nonsense, she faced him with the sword in his hand.
It has to be said that actual combat is the fastest way for people to make progress. From the initial rush to killing the giant rat, it only took Zhao Qingyao less than five minutes.
Their own strength is stronger than that of the Giant Rat. As long as they get rid of their timidity, these students will have a chance to win one on one.
After leaving behind seven or eight corpses, the giant rat swarm finally retreated, letting everyone in the camp breathe a sigh of relief.
Maybe they tasted human flesh yesterday. Although these giant rats did not attack again, they surrounded the camp and refused to retreat no matter what.
"Su Xiaofan!"
Su Xiaoxiao, who was caught again, angrily started to cause trouble for Su Xiaofan.
They were all resisting the giant rat's attack, but Su Xiaofan was still practicing here. Even though he was a related party this time, the other people in the team were a little dissatisfied.
"Why, I gave you all the weapons, but my cultivation level is low, so I fight them with my bare hands?"
Su Xiaofan's words extinguished Su Xiaoxiao's anger. What his brother said seemed to be right. He didn't even have a weapon at hand, so how could he defeat those ferocious giant rats.
"Then...then you can grill us..."
In short, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't see his brother being so comfortable. Why should he be idle while others were busy?
"Roast giant rat meat?" Su Xiaofan couldn't help but feel a little chilled when he heard this.
Normally, Su Xiaofan would have no problem eating rats, but these rats had just eaten human flesh yesterday!
As soon as he thought of this, Su Xiaofan felt panicked in his heart. The giant rat meat was no longer so fragrant.
"Yes, the meat of such a big rat must be very fragrant."
Su Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Didn't we often eat roasted rat meat when we were kids? I've almost forgotten the taste."
When harvesting wheat in the countryside, the fields were full of voles. At that time, Su Xiaofan would take his sister to catch the voles and make a fire to roast them immediately.
Voles eat grain and do not have as many bacteria as mice in cities. They taste very good and half-year-old children in rural areas like to eat them.
"Xiao Xiao, I don't eat rat meat, it's too disgusting."
Not far away, Zhao Qingyao heard Su Xiaoxiao's words and quickly expressed her objection.
"I don't eat it either. I can't eat it. No one knows if the rats here carry any germs."
Mo Zixuan shook his head and threw the giant rats by their tails into the distant jungle.
"Zhizhi..."
The smell of blood attracted the giant rats guarding there. Regardless of whether it was the corpse of the same kind, they pounced on it crazily and began to gnaw at it.
"vomit……"
This bloody scene made a female classmate in the camp vomit immediately.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't mention roasting rat meat now. Who would dare to eat such a crazy rat?
"If you are injured, take the time to bandage it, and if you are tired, take a rest quickly."
Mo Zixuan felt that these giant rats would not give up easily, and they might still have to fight a tough battle.
Sure enough, after more than half an hour, the giant rats started to move again, and more than ten giant rats swarmed towards the camp.
"Fight!"
Mo Zixuan's crisp shout actually had a hint of iron blood. Everyone in the camp, whether they were cultivating or resting, stood up.
Still using the same strategy as before, Mo Zixuan and Su Xiaoxiao guarded both sides, each blocking four or five giant rats.
In the middle were five people, led by Zhao Qingyao, resisting the giant rat's attack.
In this wave of offensive and defensive battles, Su Xiaoxiao's performance was the most eye-catching.
Su Xiaoxiao, armed with tiger cat claws, could leave deep scars on the giant rats with almost every attack. She had disemboweled several giant rats.
After leaving more than a dozen corpses behind, the giant rat retreated into the forest.
But Mo Zixuan felt that there seemed to be a lot more green eyes in the forest, staring at their camp.
"Hurry up and meditate and rest, they will attack again."
Mo Zixuan felt that his breathing was a little unsteady. There had been three consecutive battles today. Even a practitioner in the late stage of Qi training had consumed most of his Qi.
"Sister Zixuan, you should also take a rest. I'll guard you."
Su Xiaoxiao stood up. In the previous battle, she relied on the sharpness of her weapon and did not consume much energy.
"Okay, once they attack, wake us up immediately!"
Mo Zixuan knew that now was not the time to show off, so he sat on the ground and began to meditate.
"Su Xiaofan, come here!"
Facing those giant rats in the forest, it would be false to say that she was not afraid. Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but call out to her brother loudly.
"No time, keep guard!" Su Xiaofan's voice came from afar.
If Su Xiaofan deliberately didn't take action just now, let them gain some practical experience.
Su Xiaofan really doesn't have time now, because Duobao seems to have undergone some changes at this moment.
Duobao, who had been absorbing energy very quickly, seemed to have formed a vortex at this time.
The surrounding energy was stirred up like a small tornado, constantly pouring into Duobao's body.
The energy within a range of tens of meters is no longer enough for Duobao to absorb.
Above Duobao's body, the churning tornado formed a wind column, and all the energy in the restricted area within a thousand meters around it was condensed.
Such a huge amount of energy was absorbed into Duobao's body, and its body was also undergoing changes.
The previous Duobao was about one meter long, but with the infusion of energy, Duobao's body is slowly getting bigger.
Duobao's body shape stopped changing until it grew to about 1.5 meters, but the hair on its body changed again.
The originally dense hair has become much shorter now, almost just a layer growing close to the body, revealing the tiger cat's extremely strong body.
Su Xiaofan noticed that the two claws on Duobao's forelimbs were now extending out of the meat pads and growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When it reached thirty centimeters, the claws slowly shrank back. Su Xiaofan didn't know how such long claws fit into the thick flesh pad.
The Duobao in front of him was exactly the same as the one Su Xiaofan saw in Shuangmen Village, and the sharp claws on its feet were even longer than that one.
I don't know if it was the last moment of evolution, but Duobao's body suddenly trembled, and a huge forbidden area energy exploded from it to the surroundings.
The giant rats in the distant jungle also felt this energy, and they all rushed out like crazy.
"It turns out that I came here for Duobao..."
Su Xiaofan had a realization in his heart. No wonder the giant rats, which usually only attack sneakily during the day, became so crazy. Their targets were not those in the camp.
"Meet the enemy!"
Su Xiaoxiao, who was in charge of the defense, almost screamed at the top of his voice. He was half frightened because there were more than thirty giant rats coming out this time.
There were too many ants and they could kill an elephant, not to mention a giant rat that looked like a puppy. At this moment, Su Xiaoxin felt a little desperate.
"Quick, form a group, Xiaoxiao, you and I are in front!"
Mo Zixuan rushed forward with weapons. The defensive formation just now was no longer suitable. The strongest people must be put in front to reduce the pressure on the defense on both sides.
"It will really cause trouble!"
Su Xiaofan also felt a little impatient towards those giant rats.
The presence of more than ten giant rats at a time allowed Mo Zixuan and others to hone their practical skills, but they would definitely not be able to handle the thirty or so rats.
Su Xiaofan, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, reached out and picked up a stone, and with a little force, crushed the stone into pieces.
His consciousness locked on the giant rat that was rushing forward. Su Xiaofan flicked his middle finger, and the giant rats that rushed forward fell down one after another. A bloody hole appeared on their foreheads.
It may be that the evolution of tiger cats caused the giant rats to go crazy. More than ten giant rats were knocked down one after another, but they were unable to make the giant rats behind retreat. They stepped on the corpses of their companions and rushed forward again.
Su Xiaofan's action was so fast that Mo Zixuan and others didn't even know what was happening, and the giant rats in front of them fell to the ground one after another.
However, the sudden decrease in the number of giant rats reduced their pressure a lot. With everyone's desperate efforts, they were able to withstand this wave of crazy giant rats.
Seeing that there were only seventeen or eighteen giant rats left, Su Xiaofan did not take action again, but focused his attention on Duobao.
The forbidden energy that was so rich that it was almost substantial was now escaping from Duobao's body, and Duobao's skin showed faint signs of being energized.
Su Xiaofan, who was sitting not far away, could clearly feel that the explosive energy was hidden in Duobao's body.
As if being soaked in an energy pool, the sea-like energy is changing Duobao's life level, and a layer of fluorescence gradually appears on the surface of Duobao's body.
At this moment, Duobao's entire body seemed to have become transparent, and he opened his mouth unconsciously, and all the energy between heaven and earth was sucked into Duobao's mouth.
These energies were condensed in Duobao's body, and Su Xiaofan could clearly see that a round bead was exposed on Duobao's lower abdomen.
"Inner elixir!" Su Xiaofan understood immediately. The many treasures of the inner elixir were condensed in his body, and now he has truly evolved into an extraordinary creature.
It seems that what the teacher said before is wrong. As long as it is an extraordinary creature, there must be inner elixir in the body. This is also the biggest difference between extraordinary creatures and ordinary creatures.
At this time, Duobao slowly opened his eyes, and a soaring coercion rose from Duobao's body, instantly covering all living creatures within a few hundred meters of space around him.
"Squeak...squeak..."
The giant rat that was madly attacking Mo Zixuan and others seemed to have encountered a natural enemy at this moment. It ran as fast as it came, turning around and heading into the forest.
"Ouch!"
As if sensing the provocation from the giant rats, the tiger cat let out a roar that sounded a bit like a tiger, making the branches in the forest rustle.
Those giant rats were even more unbearable. Their bodies collapsed on the ground one by one, and their eyes that had turned blood red due to madness returned to normal.
As if he felt the killing intent of those giant rats, in a flash, the tiger cat disappeared in front of Su Xiaofan.
A shadow flashed across the mountain forest, and the corpses of those giant rats were separated one by one, and the smell of blood filled the entire space.
After all the giant rats were dead, the tiger cat seemed to be aroused with ferocity, and its violent eyes looked at the injured people in the camp.
"Duobao, come back!"
Su Xiaofan gave a cold shout, and with a subconscious flash, Duobao appeared in front of Su Xiaofan.
One person and one cat looked at each other. The ferocity in Duobao's eyes slowly dissipated. He came to Su Xiaofan's legs and rubbed his head against Su Xiaofan's trousers.
"You were raised by humans, don't let animality influence your humanity..."
Su Xiaofan sat down and rubbed Duobao's neck with his hands. It felt comfortable and lay down on its back, exposing its belly to Su Xiaofan.
Seeing this scene, Su Xiaofan felt relieved.
No matter what kind of creature they are, they will only behave like this in front of the people they trust the most.
"What happened?"
When Su Xiaofan comforted Duobao, Mo Zixuan and others finally woke up.
The coercion released by the tiger cat just now was an indiscriminate attack.
Not only was the giant rat shocked, but even Mo Zixuan and others' minds went blank for a while.
At this moment, looking at the rat corpses all over the ground, everyone was a little confused. They had no idea what happened.
But soon, everyone's eyes turned to the man and the cat not far away.
The pressure of the extraordinary creature on Duobao was still there, but it was no longer aggressive at this time, attracting everyone's attention to him like a beacon.
"Is it that big cat?"
Everyone's puzzled eyes scanned Duobao. Why does this pet cat lying on the ground with its belly exposed have such power?
"Duobao, have you become an extraordinary creature?"
Su Xiaoxiao, who had the most contact with Duobao, reacted the fastest, with a look of surprise on his face, and rushed towards Duobao while shouting.
"Ouch?"
Duobao stood up much faster than Su Xiaoxiao rushed over, and the power made Su Xiaoxiao, who was rushing towards him, almost vomit blood in discomfort.
"What are you doing? That's my sister!" Su Xiaofan slapped Duobao on the head.
"Brother, it...it is an extraordinary creature. Aren't you afraid of it biting you?"
Su Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded. He was so fierce. He dared to fight extraordinary creatures.
But the next moment, Su Xiaoxiao looked straight. The extraordinary creature in her eyes was like a good cat, burrowing into Su Xiaofan's arms with its head in aggrieved manner.
"It's unreasonable..."
Su Xiaoxiao almost cried. Why should he be so close to me because he is so cruel to me? I also want a big cat that is an extraordinary creature.
"If you don't have me in the future, you won't be allowed to hurt anyone..."
Su Xiaofan knew that Duobao was more spiritual now, and it would definitely understand what he said.
"Meow..." Duobao hummed and stretched out his tongue to lick Su Xiaofan.
"Don't, a layer of skin will fall off if you lick me."
Su Xiaofan quickly blocked Duobao's big mouth with quick eyes and hands. The protruding tongue looked like saw teeth, which looked intimidating.
"Su Xiaofan, was it... was Duobao who saved us?"
At this moment, Mo Zixuan and others also gathered around, looking at Duobao with complicated expressions.
But the way everyone looked at Su Xiaofan was more complicated.
They thought the same as Su Xiaoxiao. It was really unreasonable that such a guy who came to the restricted area to eat and wait for death actually owned an extraordinary creature.
"Yes, it's really dangerous. If Duobao hadn't finally evolved into extraordinary, you would all be dead."
Su Xiaofan nodded and stroked Duobao's hair with his hands, "It's not as comfortable as long hair. It's a bit prickly."
Su Xiaofan was a little dissatisfied with Duobao's hair at this time, and it was getting bigger and it was no longer so comfortable to stroke.
Mo Zixuan's mouth couldn't help but twitch when she saw Su Xiaofan's actions. Aren't you afraid that if you touch an extraordinary creature like this, it will fall out?
Su Xiaofan was really not afraid, even if he fell out, he couldn't beat himself.
Of course, he knew that Duobao would not fall out, and Su Xiaofan could feel the attachment for him conveyed in Duobao's consciousness.
"By the way, do you know how to communicate with your spiritual consciousness?"
Su Xiaofan looked at the big cat with hope. If it could communicate with his spiritual consciousness, it would be more convenient for him to communicate with him.
"Meow..."
Duobao shook his head, don't make trouble, he has just become extraordinary and there are still many things to learn.
Seeing the tacit understanding between one person and one cat, the onlookers had looks of envy in their eyes.
With such an extraordinary person following him, Su Xiaofan could still walk sideways in this restricted area even if he was waiting to die.
"It's really...unreasonable!"
Everyone couldn't help but think of these words again!
