Lu Kun looked at the traces of blood emerging from the surface of his body, smiled bitterly, and began to close his eyes to heal.
In his desperation just now, he continued fighting without waiting for his body to recover from the explosive step, causing muscle damage, and then used the breath of life in his body to heal the injury.
Not long after, Lu Kun opened his eyes and muttered to himself: "This battle has strengthened the physical body a lot, and a breakthrough should not be far away."
Lu Kun looked at the body of the black snake and found that the little monkey was holding a stone in his hand and smashing the scales on the snake's belly with all his strength. He felt dumbfounded and walked over.
This black snake is over a foot long, only a little bigger than the snake yesterday, but its scales are many times harder and cannot be cut with an ordinary knife.
Lu Kun took advantage of the fact that there was still some breath of life in his body, and hit the little monkey with Yuanbao Qi next to where he hit it. The snake's body was broken into two sections at once. It was so easy, it should be that its defense power was greatly reduced after death. for the sake of.
The little monkey was so excited that he took out a green snake gall from the fracture and swallowed it.
"You guy, didn't you say it would be useful to me? Why did you eat it yourself? Spit it out quickly!"
When Lu Kun saw this scene, he immediately grabbed the little monkey and shook it.
"Zhizhi~zhi!" The little monkey shook his head and pointed to another place on the snake's body.
"You said what I want is here?"
Seeing its affirmative expression, Lu Kun put the little monkey down and used his last strength to fight it out, causing the snake's body to break apart.
A small stone with a dark red halo was found at the fracture, about the size of a palm. When Lu Kun took it in his hand, his expression changed drastically.
"The breath of life! This stone is actually full of the breath of life, but it is slightly different from the one I cultivated. The thing in this stone gives me a hot feeling. Little monkey, is this what you are talking about?" Lu Kun said to the little monkey.
"Zhizhi~"
The little monkey kept nodding and looking at the stones with eager eyes.
"I'll try it tomorrow. I won't be able to cultivate the Breath of Life today."
After speaking, Lu Kun began to deal with the black snake, intending to remove the snake's head and take away most of the snake's meat. This snake is so powerful, and the essence in the meat is much stronger than ordinary beasts.
They began to carry the snake meat back to the river respectively. Before leaving, Lu Kun felt moved and wrapped the snake's head with a piece of cloth.
That night, one person and one monkey continued to eat snake meat by the river. It was indeed a different species of snake meat. It tasted particularly delicious. After eating, Lu Kun felt that his energy and blood were a little stronger.
The next morning, Lu Kun held a small stone in his hand and began to practice the breath of life. After practicing for a while, he felt a hot breath of life pass from the stone into his body, and the amount was much larger than usual.
The little gray monkey next to him was also sitting cross-legged next to Lu Kun, with a serious look on his face, as if he was also practicing, but the wagging tail revealed his mood.
An hour later, Lu Kun finished his training. He opened his eyes and was filled with surprises. The breath of life he had cultivated this time was almost half of what it was on the day it broke out. There was a bit of heat in these breaths of life, which was a bit unpleasant. Too used to it.
Next, Lu Kun practiced on the spot and did not go to the waterfall, because if he went there to practice, he would not be able to complete the practice in one day.
After half a day, Lu Kun completed the circulation of the breath of life. He practiced with this stone for half a day, which was equivalent to a week of hard training for him.
But the strange thing is that the strengthened body does not have any fiery energy.
"Zhizhi~" Hearing the little monkey's cry, Lu Kun found that it was easier to understand its meaning today.
"Yes, this thing of yours is indeed very useful for my cultivation!"
"By the way, I was pretending to practice under the waterfall that day. How did you know that I was going to ambush you?"
His relationship with the little monkey had become very harmonious in the past two days, so he asked about his doubts.
"Zhizhi~zhi!"
When he saw the little monkey, he pointed to his ears and then to his head, feeling extremely proud.
"You said you could hear me talking to myself from far away, so you tricked me!"
Lu Kun was stunned after hearing what he understood. He could hear his own mumblings despite being hundreds of feet away and the noise of the waterfall. It was really a strange monkey. He touched the monkey's ears and blond hair with emotion, "Although you You have gray hair, but there is a tuft of golden hair on your head, from now on I will call you 'Xiao Jin'!"
"Xiao Jin" slapped his hand in anger and jumped away, not satisfied with the name. His expression made Lu Kun laugh.
In the next few days, with the help of this stone, Lu Kun's Diamond Art slowly approached the third level. When it broke out, it was the day of his breakthrough.
He borrowed the black snake's tree hole to break through and asked Xiao Jin to help him protect the law.
As soon as he started practicing, Lu Kun felt an even stronger breath of fiery life pouring out of the stone and rushing into his body happily. He was almost surprised by this scene and stopped practicing. It took him a long time to calm down.
Xiao Jin, who was outside the cave, felt the difference immediately. He ran to the entrance of the cave and stared at Lu Kun closely. Lu Kun did not pause after practicing the breath of life and started to cycle directly.
The amount this time was at least a hundred times greater than usual, rushing through his body crazily. With every cycle, Lu Kun felt the scorching heat begin to penetrate into his body, and his skin began to turn slightly red.
It didn't take long for Lu Kun to easily break through the bottleneck and enter the third level. Such a smooth breakthrough was also due to the effect of the alien snake meat.
After a long time, Lu Kun slowly opened his eyes and saw Xiao Jin looking at him in the cave with wide eyes. Lu Kun smiled and said:
"Thank you, Xiao Jin. If it weren't for the stone you found, I wouldn't have been able to break through so quickly. I really don't know how to repay you."
"Zhizhi!" Seeing Xiao Jin's proud face, he pointed at the stone.
"You mean to give you this stone? Well, you found this thing anyway, and I just want to break through, so I'll give it to you."
Lu Kun thought for a while and gave the stone to Xiao Jin.
After Xiao Jin got the stone, he was very excited and kept doing somersaults.
Lu Kun closed his eyes and began to feel the difference in his body. First of all, his entire physical body was strengthened again, and his strength and defense were greatly enhanced.
The tendon nodes of his own muscles also began to change, which greatly enhanced the body's explosive power.
Then Lu Kun began to circulate the Yuan Dynasty force in his body. Feeling a hint of fire in it, he punched the branch outside the cave. The branch broke directly, and the fracture was filled with black ashes, as if it was burned. .
"Why was my strength normal a few days ago, but it changed today?"
Moreover, this fiery power reminded Lu Kun of the Yuanhuo Waterfall Fist, but the power was many times worse than the described Yuanhuo Waterfall Fist. The real Yuanhuo Waterfall Fist's scorching fire could even melt iron.
"I don't think so much anymore. I will consolidate my cultivation for two more days and then go back to Huayuan City. I don't know if the junior brothers are back."
