The night was as cold as water, and Lu Zhong slowly opened his eyes, with helplessness written on his face.
Without the abundant spiritual energy support in Qingliu Ruins, it would be extremely difficult for him to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to restore his spiritual power, let alone the practice of running skills.
From meditating in the evening to now, it took a full three hours to recover half of my spiritual power.
"No wonder there was an invasion of demonic cultivators in Qingliu Market. Most of the residents have never thought of moving away. It is really a rare place to practice spiritual energy. It is estimated that after the market incident, the people who escaped I will go back too." Thinking of this, Lu Zhong couldn't help but sigh at the difficulty of the road.
Wealthy couples love earth. Although earth is ranked last, its importance is only slightly less than the first three.
The place for cultivation is so important. It can be imagined that the influence of the Money Couple Law on cultivation is definitely not as simple as talking about it.
When Lu Zhong thought of this, he suddenly remembered that he got a ring in the afternoon and quickly took it out.
The ring is made of brass, with an earthy yellow crystal embedded on the surface. The body of the ring is engraved with complex patterns and is still shimmering.
On the inner ring of this brass ring, there are four small characters.
"Little Earth Spirit Ring?"
When Lu Zhong read out those four words, his expression was filled with confusion at first, and then full of ecstasy.
"Could it be that this is a magic weapon?"
If this is really the case, then he will make a lot of money this time!
Especially this small earth spirit ring, it seems that it is still a defensive magic weapon, and its value will be higher than the offensive magic weapon.
After calming down, Lu Zhong began to try to input spiritual power into the spiritual ring.
With the input of spiritual power, the small earth spirit ring began to glow with a faint earth-yellow light, and soon an earth-yellow cover the size of a person appeared, covering his entire body inside.
After poking curiously, Lu Zhong discovered that it was a one-way protective shield. Thinking about the role of the small earth spirit ring, it should be to condense a protective shield.
After trying it, the strength of the small earth spirit shield is not high, and it will probably disappear if it blocks a spell.
"Even so, the Little Earth Spirit Ring is still a magic weapon!" Lu Zhong couldn't put it down, and once again it was filled with energy and he wore it directly on his hand, which was a small guarantee for his own safety.
"Gululu!"
After spending a lot of mana, and not eating anything all afternoon, his stomach was already pounding.
"Let me think about what is edible here."
Lu Zhong recalled that when he entered the valley, there seemed to be a vegetable field beside the stream.
Although the vegetable field was overgrown with weeds, there seemed to be some potatoes.
Following his memory, he began to search.
The moonlight tonight is not very bright, and it is sometimes obscured by dark clouds, making it difficult to see.
Fortunately, Lu Zhong's body has been nourished by spiritual energy for a long time. Although his eyesight is not up to the level of seeing in the dark, he can still see the scenery in the valley clearly with the trace of moonlight, so that he will not become blind at night.
Perhaps it was not midsummer yet, so the valley was quiet at this time, and not a single insect could be heard.
At first, he didn't think it was anything.
Until there was a soft sound behind him, and his back suddenly felt a chill.
Subconsciously, Lu Zhong activated the protective shield of the small earth spirit ring.
Almost at the same time, there was only a "bang" sound, and a huge force came from behind, which directly knocked him away with his shield.
The earth-yellow shield was spherical, and it rolled for a while before stopping.
The dizzy Lu Zhong stabilized his body, opened his eyes and looked in front of him, and suddenly took a breath of cold air.
When the clouds opened and the moon came out, a huge demonic beast with scarlet eyes and green-brown scales all over its body slowly emerged from the darkness.
It has rough scales like bark, and the surface is covered with hardened substances of mud and resin, which can provide a certain degree of protection for the beast. Its streamlined body is as strong and powerful as a leopard, and its one-foot-long body is full of oppression. feel.
A pair of dagger-like tusks shined with metallic luster in the moonlight.
"Blue-scaled leopard!"
Lu Zhong felt suffocated and immediately guessed the origin of this beast.
The green-scaled leopard is a kind of monster active in Yanling Mountain. The green-scaled leopard skin on its body is a good raw material for making low-grade robes. The leopard's teeth are also a raw material for refining magic weapons. It is the favorite hunt of the beast-hunting monks. Target.
He never imagined that he would meet the Green Scaled Leopard like this.
It is true that the Blue Scale Leopard is a first-level monster, but its strength is equivalent to that of a mid-stage Qi Refining monk, and cannot be dealt with by a mere second-level Qi Refining Level.
Let alone dealing with him, Lu Zhong probably couldn't even fight back.
Fortunately, he couldn't turn around and run away. Once he showed his timidity, it would only make the beast even more excited.
"What should I do?" Lu Zhong was anxious, and his eyes kept moving to the left, where Li Dong lived. "The lights haven't been lit yet. Could it be that Li Dong hasn't noticed it yet?"
He squeezed the fireball talisman in his hand, but he didn't think he could hit this agile leopard with one blow.
All leopards are as agile as the wind, let alone first-level monsters like the green-scaled leopard.
To be honest, he wouldn't be surprised if it grew wings and flew.
"Ouch..." A low roar came from the mouth of the green-scaled leopard.
It can be seen that it is already very impatient.
The front paws kept digging into the mud, making a ditch with each paw. Occasionally, it turned over a piece of bluestone, which immediately pulled out a series of sparks.
This scene made Lu Zhong tremble in his heart, wondering what would happen if he was scratched.
At the very least, I guess I have to lose a few kilograms of meat, right?
The green-scaled leopard circled around its prey several times, and finally couldn't bear it anymore when it saw that the target didn't run away and exposed its flaws.
The body full of muscles flexed and rushed out like an arrow from a string.
At this moment, a loud shout came from the side.
"middle!"
Several ice crystal spears were shot out from the side, and the target was clearly the green-scaled leopard.
When the green-scaled leopard realized the danger, it suddenly turned around in the air and quickly dodged most of the ice spears. Only one of them hit its hind leg, and it roared in pain.
Lu Zhong was the closest, and his eardrums were almost shattered.
He almost thought he was going to die just now, but fortunately Li Dong arrived in time.
"Why are you still standing there? Come with me and drive it away!" On the slope, Li Dong rushed down with a long sword in hand and shouted loudly.
With a word that woke up the dreamer, Lu Zhong quickly raised the long knife in his hand, activated the small earth spirit shield again, and also surrounded him.
Without mastering a single attack spell, it was impossible to injure the green-scaled leopard with his strength. The only function was to distract the beast and provide an opportunity for Li Dong to find an opportunity to attack.
This is what Lu Zhong did, constantly making loud noises from his mouth, which kept the green-scaled leopard distracted.
On the other side, Li Dong was holding several talismans in his hands, staring ahead, looking for an opportunity to take action.
The two sides were in a stalemate for a while.
At this time, the green-scaled leopard roared and jumped far away.
It looked back at the two of them, then disappeared into the night without looking back.
Seeing this scene, Lu Zhong felt a thump in his heart and secretly thought it was not good.
The green-scaled leopard is extremely vengeful. Now that it failed to catch the prey and was injured instead, it will definitely hold a grudge against the two of them. The reason why it looked back must be to remember the appearance of itself and Li Dong, so as to prepare for future revenge.
"Don't worry about it, we will leave here tomorrow." Li Dong saw Lu Zhong's worry and said calmly.
He knows more about the Blue-Scale Leopard and knows that once this kind of monster suffers a loss, it will not attack again unless it is sure. In other words, the Green-Scale Leopard will not attack again until it recovers. them.
After the green-scaled leopard recovered from his injuries, the two of them had been gone for a long time, so how could they be afraid that this beast would come looking for revenge?
Back in the cave, Lu Zhong did not dare to sleep again, and spent the rest of the night in fear.
It wasn't until dawn that he dared to relax a little.
The bright sunshine fell into the valley, dispersing the night fog from last night.
With dark circles under his eyes, Lu Zhong walked to the creek in the valley, picked up a clear water from the stream and washed his face. He suddenly felt energetic.
Looking towards Li Dong, he had already carried the boy out of the door.
"Who is this person of his? He doesn't look like his own flesh and blood, and he even takes him with him when he runs away?" Lu Zhong thought curiously, but he didn't plan to ask Li Dong about this, so as not to anger him.
He could see that Li Dong was actually a cold and heartless person.
The reason why he was willing to give out an exorcism charm before was probably to find a helper so that he could escape from the dangerous Qingliu Ruins together.
As for the rescue last night, he was probably afraid that after Lu Zhong died, he would be unable to do it alone.
Perhaps the only thing Li Dong cared about was the boy.
