When Zhang Ke woke up again, it was already bright.
Through yesterday's observation, Zhang Ke found that he was in a dense forest.
Although I don’t know why it appeared on a tree branch, it is several times better than falling on the ground.
The mist shrouded the surrounding areas like a veil, and the entire dense forest seemed to have just woken up.
Birds are chirping, animals are walking through the forest, vegetation is sprouting, everything is awakening, and vitality shines from every inch of the dense forest.
Zhang Ke felt all this with great joy, and his every breath was filled with agility and freshness.
The mirror-like mind seems to be washed by water, refreshing and uplifting.
Zhang Ke did not enter samadhi, nor did he practice regulating his breath and moving his magic power.
At this moment, he was like an ordinary person, emptying his mind and breathing in the scent of vegetation in the dense forest.
Quietly appreciate the vastness and tolerance of nature.
It will not take pity on the wolf and drive the wolf out of the dense forest because it eats the sheep, nor will it drive away the hare because it destroys the vegetation.
In the silence, Zhang Ke's mind was completely silent, feeling the pulse and breathing of nature.
His mind seemed to turn into a wind, blowing through every corner of the dense forest, observing the survival and struggle of every living thing.
Ants compete for food, monsters fight in groups, and even plants compete for sunlight, rain and dew!
This is a battle between life and death!
Natural selection, survival of the fittest!
The tolerance and cruelty of nature are fully highlighted at this moment.
Zhang Ke also had a new understanding of the four words "Tao follows nature".
If he hadn't been seriously injured, Zhang Ke might never have had the opportunity to experience this.
This realization will not increase his strength, but will only reset his impetuous heart.
In the void, Zhang Ke easily played with the Zerg half-lord, which made his mentality extremely inflated.
As a result, the Zerg half-lord nearly died with just one thought.
As a human being, you should be in awe!
This is the deepest feeling in Zhang Ke’s heart at this moment!
For seven consecutive days, Zhang Ke did not move at all. Gradually, he seemed to become one with the forest.
It wasn't until the eighth day that a sudden thunder burst from the sky woke Zhang Ke up from his fugue state.
Looking at the raindrops falling from the sky, Zhang Ke took a deep breath, as if he wanted to take the whole world into his breath.
The body turned sideways, and the whole person fell from the branch to the ground as lightly as a feather. There was no trace of stiffness or sluggishness in the body that had not moved for seven days.
Although the injuries on his body have not fully recovered, they have basically not affected his movements.
The cracks on his soul are gradually decreasing, and he is still unable to fully display his Taoist and magical powers, but he finally has some ability to protect himself.
It rained heavily and the dense forest was filled with mist.
Zhang Ke walked step by step towards the outside of the forest, carrying the wind and rain.
...
Half a month later.
Red leaves collection.
Zhang Ke was mixed in with the crowds on the street.
At this moment, he changed his appearance.
He is in his twenties, has ordinary facial features, a figure that is neither fat nor thin, and carries a four-foot-long knife on his back, making him inconspicuous in the crowd.
As early as ten days ago, Zhang Ke walked out of the dense forest.
But when he found a village and inquired about it for a while, he discovered that he was actually in the Southern Region at the moment.
His strength has not been restored, let alone returning to the void to participate in the battle. He cannot even pass through the regional natural chasm.
Since he was in a different place and his injuries had not fully recovered, Zhang Ke decided to keep a low profile after receiving a lesson.
Each of the five major regions in the Azure Realm has its own characteristics.
The Eastern Region is considered the ancestral home of the spiritual world, with the largest number of sects and inheritances.
In the past, due to special reasons of the vitality of heaven and earth, the Central Region was suitable for ordinary people to live, but it was not very suitable for traditional practitioners to practice.
Therefore, here, the secular world has established seven major kingdoms: Xia, Liang, Cang, Lan, Chu, Chang, and Dynasty, which are secretly controlled by seven high-ranking sects.
The other two high-ranking sects are hidden among the mountains, rivers and swamps, and are almost unknown to the world.
Cultivation sects in the Central Region generally adopt the method of practicing in the world, sending disciples to different countries according to regions to promote the development of national strength and feedback to themselves.
The Western Region has little contact with other regions. It is the exclusive territory of Buddhism, and countless Buddhist schools gather here.
Almost everyone in the secular world worships Buddha, and every household worships it!
It's not that the Western Regions don't want to develop externally, but because Buddhism has too strong an emphasis on the secular world.
Six thousand years ago, Taoism and Buddhism discussed Taoism and scriptures in the sky and the sea.
As a result, Taoism used overwhelming force to force Buddhism not to preach scriptures outside the Western Regions.
Since then, Buddhism has retreated to the Western Regions.
For thousands of years, only sporadic Buddhist disciples have traveled abroad, so it is rare to see Buddhists outside the country.
The Northern Territory has a unique geographical location, is covered with ice and snow all year round, and has a harsh natural environment, making it unsuitable for ordinary people to survive.
Therefore, the number of practicing sects and ordinary people here is the smallest among the five major regions in the world.
However, the difficult geographical conditions have also created northerners who are tough, tough and good at fighting.
When it comes to personal strength, among the five major regions in the world, people from the Northern Region are recognized as the most capable.
The Southern Region is different from other regions.
The weather here is hot, the vegetation is dense, miasma is everywhere, and snakes, insects, rats and ants are most prosperous.
Eight thousand years ago, after the human race's cultivators left, the overall strength of the human race dropped significantly.
As a result, the demon race, the second largest race in the world after the human race, sensed an opportunity and launched a strong counterattack against the human race.
In the first one hundred years, countless city walls were destroyed, and a large number of humans fell into the mouths of monsters. It was the darkest period for the human race.
It was not until two hundred years later that the human cultivation world regained its vitality and the demon clan was repelled.
Nowadays, many alien cracks in the blue world are basically caused by the melee between humans and demons at that time.
A powerful demon tribe saw that the rise of the human race was unstoppable, so they proposed a truce with the human race. The only requirement was to divide the southern region to the demon tribe.
At that time, the human race was still at a disadvantage and could only struggle to fight against the monster race.
After hundreds of years of fighting, the human race could no longer hold on. Moreover, people at that time had decided that everyone was tired of fighting.
So at Liangjie Mountain, the human race and the demon race signed a non-aggression treaty.
Of course, this kind of treaty has basically no effect. This can be seen from the fact that the human and demon tribes did not make an oath to heaven at that time. It can be seen that this is just a measure of interests.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is a battle for the survival of the race. One day, there will be another conquest between humans and demons.
Both the human race and the demon race are well aware of this.
It's just that over the past thousands of years, the human race has developed rapidly, and the demon race can now only hide in the southern region and dare not take a step outside.
Due to the great power of the human race, the demon clan in the southern region did not dare to treat the people of the human clan living here too harshly.
After thousands of years, the Southern Territory is now a mixed situation of humans and demons.
The reason why Zhang Ke keeps such a low profile is because he is worried that his whereabouts will be discovered by the demon clan in the Southern Region.
Presumably they wouldn't mind killing a human soul to weaken the power of the human cultivation world.
Red leaves collection.
This is not a market for ordinary people, but a market for practitioners.
The people who come and go here are practitioners and monsters within a thousand miles nearby.
The Monster Race is the same as the Zerg Race, it is also a mixed system of multiple races.
Due to the huge power of the human race and thousands of years of cultural and ideological invasion, the demon race has also been affected by the human race.
Except for the monsters without intelligence, the monsters born with intelligence gradually move closer to the human race in appearance. Except for some obvious racial characteristics, they are already very close to the human race.
They also walk upright, wear the same clothes, and even communicate in daily conversations in human language.
Of course, there is no way around this.
There are countless branches of the demon race, and each race has its own language.
It's easy to have a chicken-and-duck situation.
Apart from using human language, the lingua franca of the blue world, they actually have no other choice.
At this moment, Zhang Ke was walking in the market, looking at the monsters with pig heads and donkey faces talking politely to the human cultivators on the side in human language, and he couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart.
Invasion should start with civilization!
Although he saw that in this kind of transaction, the human race was mostly at a disadvantage, Zhang Ke was still in a good mood.
Smiling and smiling, he strolled along the street.
From time to time, I also buy some small items unique to the Southern Region as souvenirs.
In these stalls along the road, most of the items traded are Zerg body parts.
The Zerg relies on instinct to attack, so it will strengthen its commonly used limbs. Over time, these limbs will become unique and contain special power.
These things are not of much use to the human race, but they are considered treasures to the demon race.
They can grow by eating limbs with special powers, and those monsters that have the chance can even awaken some innate magical powers.
Zhang Ke walked around the market and found that most of the people setting up stalls were human cultivators.
In addition to Zerg limbs, its goods also include various gems, pearls, jade, and silk fabrics.
Monsters like to be gorgeous, so most of them like shiny gold and silver utensils and gemstone ornaments.
And beautiful silk fabrics with bright colors and rich layers are the banshees' favorite.
As he was walking along the crowd, Zhang Ke suddenly felt a hand reaching towards his back.
'Um?'
Zhang Ke suddenly turned around and saw a monster with a sullen face behind him reaching for the long knife on his back.
Seeing that he turned around, the monster clan still showed no restraint and continued to catch him.
Zhang Ke turned around and flicked his fingers towards the grasped palm.
"Boom——!"
Like a bowstring vibrating.
The right palm of the ugly-faced monster suddenly collapsed, and every joint was broken.
"ah--!"
The grim-faced monster clan let out a scream and stumbled back a few steps.
Such incidents immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding people and demons.
A monster with a bear face lifted up the evil-faced monster who was retreating.
The sound of the urn was loud and authentic:
"Arirang, what's wrong?"
The ugly-faced demon clan shed tears of pain when he heard the bear-faced demon clan asked.
There was a trace of viciousness in his eyes, and he pointed at Zhang Ke and said:
"Brother Bai Xing, this human race stole my clan's treasure, and I came to ask for it. Not only did he not return it, he even dared to commit murder."
This bear-faced monster has a white diamond-shaped mark on its forehead, which should be the origin of its name.
Xiong Baixing threw the ugly-faced monster a few feet away and strode up to Zhang Ke.
The huge seven-foot-tall body looked down at Zhang Ke and said angrily:
"Apologize!"
Zhang Ke raised his head and looked at Xiong Baixing, and said slowly:
"What if I don't?"
Xiong Baixing looked at Zhang Ke's back with his eyes and stretched out his paw.
