As the sky grew brighter, Hentian Peak not only regained its calm, but the bloody air in the air also disappeared.
Xue Tianqing on the tree let out a sigh of relief: Fortunately, the animals only move around at night. If they were running around during the day, he might as well commit suicide.
Although his body was a little stiff, his injured right arm seemed to be fine. When he took off the gauze, it turned out to be true.
Except for a shallow scar, there is nothing else on the arm, not even a blood scab, and I don’t know what magic elixir Qingyue used.
In line with the principle of economy, Xue Tianqing ate half a steamed bun, drank some water for breakfast, and then came down from the tree with a long sword and a dagger.
As for the baggage, just leave it on the tree!
If there is an accident, it will not be in the way when escaping, and if it is lost, even the only rations will be gone.
As soon as they reached the ground, Xue Tianqing hurriedly ran to another tree to open the gate and release the water.
At first, he was still a little hesitant, but he immediately made up his mind: I didn't believe that I would be punished for peeing here!
Xue Tianqing, who was wearing a relaxed outfit, had just zipped up her zipper when she felt movement behind her.
At this time, his lungs were about to burst with anger: Could it be that he couldn't even use the toilet? Is there any justice?
Before he could look back, he felt his neck tighten, and then something grabbed him by the collar and threw him several feet away.
Xue Tianqing, who was beaten to pieces, got up, first drew out her long sword, then stretched her neck and looked around, but she couldn't see any ghosts.
Although the surroundings were unusually quiet, a chill ran down his back, because what he couldn't see was the scariest thing.
Xue Tianqing finally climbed back into the tree. He made up his mind that it would be better to stay on the ground until he found the person or thing that threw him out.
Another night passed. After finishing the steamed buns and drinking all the water, Xue Tianqing, who was thirsty and hungry, hugged the tree trunk and looked around, and found an eye-eating ape lying on its back in the grass not far away.
After staring at the eye-eating ape for a long time, Xue Tianqing quietly got down from the tree and moved towards the opponent with his long sword.
…
An eye-eating ape hid its body in the grass, watching the approaching snow and clearing, getting ready to go.
Seeing that the opponent was about to enter his attack range, Xue Tianqing unexpectedly turned around and walked to the right.
Seeing that the prey was about to run away, although the distance was a bit far away, the food-eating ape still jumped high and pounced on Xue Tianqing.
While its body is still in the air, the eye-eating ape has opened its arms. It can gouge out the prey's eyes without jumping on it.
About a foot away from the snowy sky, the eye-eating ape began to close its arms, its pointed claws like iron hooks.
But at this moment, it felt like its body was empty, and its strength seemed to disappear out of thin air.
After falling to the ground, the Eye-eating Ape discovered that a long sword had pierced his heart at some point. This was the only scene it saw before it died.
Looking at the eye-eating ape lying on the ground and twitching, Xue Tianqing said softly: "It's a monster, and it also knows how to carry out sneak attacks."
This was Xue Tianqing's fifteenth day at Hentian Peak. Not only did he find water, he also discovered that the meat of the eating ape was indeed delicious.
There are streams and springs on Hentian Peak, which Xue Tianqing found on his second day here.
The creek was not far from the big tree where we spent the night, but it was blocked by the bushes, so we were not aware of it at the time.
The stream originates from a spring on the top of the mountain, goes all the way down, and plunges into the ground again when it reaches the foot of the mountain.
Hentian Peak is suspended in the air, and science cannot explain where the water comes from and where it goes.
Xue Tianqing does not look at the things around him from a scientific perspective, because it is unscientific for him to appear here.
Dragging the body of the eye-eating ape to the tree where it urinated for the first time, he raised his sword and chopped off one of its legs. Xue Tianqing began to remove the bones and skin, preparing to roast it over the fire.
While he was busy, the big tree suddenly moved, and several branches stretched out towards the body like arms, and then rolled it up.
Pulling the body into the canopy of the tree, as the branches and leaves moved together, a sound of chewing came out.
When the tree crown expanded again, the corpse of the eye-eating ape was gone, and the big tree was shaking its leaves contentedly. Xue Tianqing was already used to this.
After being thrown out here that day, Xue Tianqing searched for no one several times, so he kept an eye out.
When he was urinating for the second time, he squeezed out a few drops and turned around to look back, only to see a branch rolling towards him.
Frightened, Xue Tianqing ran away. It wasn't until he was out of reach of the branches that he realized that the tree had become a spirit.
After several trials, Xue Tianqing finally understood that although the big tree had become a spirit, it was not of high moral character and could only stay where it was. This made him feel at ease.
In the next two days, Xue Tianqing was particularly careful not to step into the reach of the branches of big trees.
Except for the Eye-Eating Ape, there are no other wild beasts active in Hentian Peak during the day, so this place has almost become his territory.
Eye-eating apes are easier to deal with than expected. They can be killed with one sword, and the meat is of good quality, so they become Xue Tianqing's ideal food source.
Early on the fifth day, Xue Tianqing prepared to fetch water from the creek. In addition to the bamboo tube, he carried a dagger. A dagger was enough to deal with the eye-eating ape.
When Xue Tianqing came to the creek, before she could even bend down, she heard a roar, and then a creature bigger than a tiger sprang out of the bushes.
Xue Tianqing's first thought when she saw it was to run!
This guy is too big. Not to mention daggers, even long swords can't deal with him!
Because the surrounding trees were too short, even if they climbed up, they might not be able to block the beast's attack, so Xue Tianqing didn't even care about the bamboo tube and ran towards the big tree where he spent the night.
Although the beast was big, it was not very agile and was at an obvious disadvantage in the bushes. This allowed Xue Tianqing to gradually distance itself from it.
But after breaking out of the bushes and onto the grass, the beast's advantage became apparent.
It jumped several feet, which was far beyond what Xue Tianqing could do with his two legs, so the distance between them gradually became closer.
Seeing that the nearest big tree was still more than ten feet away, Xue Tianqing could already hear the deep breathing of the beast in his ears.
People always burst out with amazing strength when they are running for their lives, and Xue Tianqing is no exception.
He took two quick steps, jumped up, hugged the tree trunk, and climbed up.
Halfway up the climb, Xue Tianqing heard a roar from the beast behind him, and the roar seemed to be filled with pain!
Xue Tianqing turned her head to look out of curiosity, only to find that several branches had entangled the beast and were dragging it off the ground.
Only then did Xue Tianqing realize that the tree he was hugging was the tree that had become a spirit!
Thinking of this, he trembled in his heart, and fell to the ground as soon as his hands were loosened.
At this time, the snowy sky was almost ten meters above the ground. Although the ground was covered with grass, it would not be much better if it fell.
Just when Xue Tianqing thought he was about to fall to death, his body suddenly tightened and he was entangled in the branches of a big tree.
Unlike the encounter with a ferocious beast, instead of dragging Xue Tianqing into the canopy, the big tree placed him on the ground and gently caressed his face with leaves.
After understanding that Dashu had no ill intentions towards him, Xue Tianqing became a friend who talked to him about everything. Of course, he was talking and the tree was listening.
Knowing that the big tree likes to eat meat, after Xue Tianqing hunted the eye-eating ape, he only kept a small part and threw the rest to the big tree.
However, he kept in mind that he would still stay in the original tree during the night. Xue Tianqing did not trust the mountain spirit tree monster from the bottom of her heart.
Seeing Xue Tianqing struggling to raise the bonfire, Qing Yue, who was hidden in the sky, shook her head. She really couldn't understand why she had to drill wood to make fire when she didn't need good flint.
If Xue Tianqing knew Qingyue's thoughts, she would definitely give her a big mouth: How did I know that it was flint!
As Xue Tianqing became more proficient in hunting skills, the number of eye-eating apes became less and less, and finally it came to the point where one could not be found for a day or two.
If he couldn't find prey, he would go hungry. In desperation, Xue Tianqing began to look elsewhere.
Since other creatures come out at night, they must be sleeping during the day. This is your opportunity.
On the twenty-seventh day after arriving at Hentian Peak, Xue Tianqing found a horse-like creature in a cave, except that it not only had sharp teeth, but also had a pair of wings on its sides!
You can't fly even if you have wings, it's a pure evolutionary mistake! Thinking of this, Xue Tianqing raised his sword and stabbed it in the neck.
Following a roar, there was chaos in the cave, mixed with the screams of wild beasts and the shouts of Xue Tianqing!
When he walked out of the cave with his two hind legs, Xue Tianqing was already covered in blood.
After staggering back to the tree, he fell over and passed out.
Qingyue couldn't help but gasped when she saw this: a mortal could actually kill a spiritual beast with his own hands. Could he really be the person that the founder was waiting for?
After an unknown amount of time, Xue Tianqing finally woke up.
When he looked down at his abdomen, he found that the foot-long wound had disappeared, but the blood was still there.
After hesitating for a moment, Xue Tianqing stood up and held her hands in the direction of the main peak: "Thank you Qingyue, if I have the chance, I will definitely treat you to KFC. Although you are a god, you must have never eaten this kind of foreign garbage."
Although the big tree is not very tall, it knows how to share. Only one of its two hind legs is taken away, and the other one is still lying on the grass.
I don't know if it was because the fight just now exhausted my energy and made me a little dazzled. Xue Tianqing always felt that the big trees were a little wilted today, and even the leaves were not as bright as before.
What Xue Tianqing didn't know was that during his coma, the tree dropped a drop of crystal clear green liquid on his wound.
As time went by, Xue Tianqing's hunting skills became better and better, and many wild beasts started to turn around and flee after seeing him.
That evening, when Xue Tianqing was about to go out, Qingyue carrying a food box appeared in front of him out of thin air.
"This year is New Year's Eve. The Patriarch asked me to send you some wine and food. He specially went to the mortal world to buy them."
Xue Tianqing looked at Qingyue and said, "Is this a New Year's gift from Master?"
Qingyue sneered: "Actually, you should understand the founder's good intentions."
Then Qingyue took out another baggage: "These are your clothes for next year. Do you want me to tie your hair?"
While helping Xue Tianqing take care of things, Qingyue wanted to speak, but hesitated.
Just before leaving, she said: "Uncle Master, practicing Taoism requires going through tribulations. From a mortal body to a Da Luo Jinxian, you have to go through a total of 18 tribulations. You have to be careful. It is not as easy as you think for a mortal to achieve enlightenment. Immortals must go through immortal tribulations.”
Xue Tianqing asked several questions after hearing this, but Qingyue never spoke again, as long as he was careful.
After Qingyue left, Xue Tianqing looked at the full moon in the sky and wondered: Why is there a full moon on New Year's Eve here?
After placing the wine and dishes separately, Xue Tianqing said to the tree, "You haven't tasted wine yet. Do you want to try it? It's delicious on earth."
