"Huh? It tastes pretty good." Even though he tried his best to avoid feeling it, the wonderful taste from his mouth was still introduced into Lin Xiao's consciousness. Instinctively, the barbed tongue of the burrowing armor came into contact with him.
He licked it between his teeth and a few strands of meat fell on his tongue.
"It's so delicious!" Lin Xiao never knew that the raw monster meat was so delicious.
If there is one, there will be two. Lin Xiao endured the disgust of being a human in his mind and swallowed the remaining pieces of monster meat into his mouth one by one.
I have to say that Lin Xiao is so powerful. After eating it, he completely overcame the psychological shadow and stopped swallowing it whole. Instead, he chewed it with relish.
After eating a few pieces of monster meat, Lin Xiao felt that digestion immediately began in his stomach, and a warm breath spread throughout his body. The monster meat contained huge energy. Although he had not eaten much before, it was completely
It's enough to keep this beetle from eating for a few days.
After eating a full stomach, Lin Xiao lay lazily on the ground.
Without deliberately switching back to his body, Lin Xiao lay there, feeling warm all over, and his thinking gradually slowed down. He felt very comfortable and had a drowsy feeling.
His eyes closed slightly, and Lin Xiao gradually fell into a deep sleep.
“So comfortable.”
Lin Xiao, who was almost in a sleep state, vaguely felt a trace of breath passing through the scales on his body, gradually flowing into his body at an extremely slow speed, nourishing his whole body.
"What is this?" Lin Xiao was still half asleep.
"It's the vitality of heaven and earth!" Lin Xiao was suddenly startled and woke up suddenly. Because he didn't realize that he was still in the body of the underground armor, his body jumped suddenly on the ground, and the previous feeling disappeared completely.
"Yes, it's the vitality of heaven and earth!" Recalling the feeling before, Lin Xiao was extremely sure, and at the same time he was pleasantly surprised.
The reason why monsters are monsters is because they can independently absorb the energy of heaven and earth, and have strength and body several times stronger than beasts. Monsters cannot be cultivated, but they themselves have the ability to independently absorb the energy of heaven and earth, slowly strengthening their bodies.
.
But human beings are different. If humans want to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth, they must reach the marrow refining stage, and in the beginning they only absorb it slowly and unconsciously. Only after they become true warriors can they practice real skills and absorb the vitality of heaven and earth independently.
This process is actually extremely difficult. After most students in the marrow refining period become quasi-warriors, they have to try to sense the vitality of heaven and earth. Only when they sense it can they continue to practice the technique. However, because they have no experience, this process is extremely difficult to do, except
Some monsters can sense something in one day, most so-called geniuses need three or five days, and for some quasi-martial artists with weak talent, the process of sensing alone usually takes a year and a half.
"That's the feeling." Lin Xiao was pleasantly surprised. If he could remember this feeling, when the time came to practice his body, he might not need the induction period at all, and he would be able to succeed directly.
"By the way, monsters cannot practice martial arts without intelligence, but if I use the body of this earth-piercing armor to practice, wouldn't I become the first monster to be able to practice martial arts? I just don't know the body and human nature of this monster.
What's the difference? Can I practice?" At the same time, another thought came into Lin Xiao's mind, but now Lin Xiao is only a student in the bone refining stage, he has no skills at all and cannot implement them at all.
"Second brother!" Just as Lin Xiao was thinking excitedly, Lin Rou's shout suddenly came from outside the door.
Lin Xiao was startled,
In fact, the hearing of the one-star demon beast burrowing armor is extremely strong. Under normal circumstances, it can be heard as long as the sister Lin Rou opens the door of the outer room. However, just now, Lin Xiao was completely immersed in sensing the vitality of the world and failed to notice that his sister had returned.
In a hurry, Lin Xiao hurriedly got under the bed, and at the same time his consciousness switched back.
"Squeak!" The door opened and my sister Lin Rou walked in.
"Second brother, what are you doing? I've called you several times."
"I just came back to rest for a while, so I didn't hear anything." Lin Xiao climbed up from the bed and his eyes fell on a small bag held in the hand of his sister Lin Rou: "Did you bring anything delicious for your second brother?"
Lin Xiao walked forward with a smile.
"This is the waste medicine residue I brought back from the Dan Pavilion. Let's see if you can try to identify the elixir in it. You are greedy. You must be hungry." Lin Rou playfully handed the bag in front of Lin Xiao.
, said slyly: "If you can eat it, I'll give it to you. I don't mind."
Looking at his sister's cunning look, Lin Xiao inadvertently felt a pain in his heart. He knew that his sister's wish was to become an alchemist. She worked in the Dan Pavilion and studied hard every day. She was only twelve years old.
She is now able to distinguish thousands of different elixirs, and her memory is astonishing. In addition to their appearance, her sister Lin Rou can also distinguish different elixirs based on their smell.
On the Cangqiong Continent, the status of an alchemist is extremely high, even higher than that of a warrior, because one of the most basic prerequisites for becoming an alchemist is to become a warrior.
Now the third sister, Lin Rou, is only in the body refining stage. Although she is not yet a warrior and cannot formally refine medicine, her talent is extremely good. In some big families, those disciples start to learn to distinguish elixirs from an early age, understand the properties and pharmacology of various medicines, and
Familiar with the process of refining medicine.
It's just that being an alchemist is too expensive. Except for low-grade herbal medicines, the most basic first-level elixirs are expensive and cannot be afforded by the family.
"My parents don't have a high income, and they have to support my sister and me."
"My sister goes to the Dan Pavilion to work every day and has very little time to practice. She spends most of her money on my practice."
"If it weren't for the fourth-level warrior medal left by my eldest brother, I don't know what kind of poverty our family would be in now."
"But that's the case. There are still some dirty villains who covet big brother's warrior medal."
"I must change the fate of the whole family!"
Lin Xiao said silently in his heart.
"How about it, you don't want to eat it." Lin Rou covered her nose with a smile that showed her success.
"How dare you tease your brother!" Lin Xiao pretended to be angry: "Let's see how I teach you a lesson."
"Tch, I'm not afraid of you, oh, gurgle, gurgle, don't tickle me, gurgle..." Lin Rou ran out the door and ran away under Lin Xiao's invincible tickling technique.
"Let's see if you dare to tease your brother again!" Lin Xiao smiled and closed the door, then took a few deep breaths and started practicing.
"The first form of the Tiger Fist - The tiger stares with eagerness!"
"Second Form of the Fierce Tiger Boxing - Tiger Roaring to Create Wind!"
There were whistling sounds in the room, and a powerful wind swept across, extremely powerful.
If you want to become a powerful warrior, in addition to talent and qualifications, diligent practice is also crucial.
"Hoo!" "Hoo!"...
The fist wind roared, and before he knew it, Lin Xiao was completely immersed in his practice, forgetting everything around him and the passage of time.
"The evil tiger attacks the sheep!" Lin Xiao brought up the strong hunting wind with his fists, and the sound of the wind was like the whipping of a whip, making a snapping sound.
"boom!"
Lin Xiao dropped his fists, and two masses of air exploded from the bottom of his fists, making an ear-splitting sound.
"No, the power of this evil tiger pounces on the sheep. The power I am using now is not as powerful as the life-and-death battle with the underground armor in the workshop. There must be some oversight." Lin Xiao was practicing hard while looking for himself.
The loopholes and errors in making moves gradually improved.
Martial arts training cannot be completed overnight. At the same time, during the training process, the process of stretching muscles again and again also allowed Lin Xiao to reach the bone refining stage's physical strength, gradually improving at a slow speed.
"Second brother, it's time to eat!"
A soft voice sounded outside the house, it was the third sister Lin Rou.
"Second brother, you have been practicing for two hours. You should be hungry a long time ago. Although training is important, if you are hungry and have no physical strength, it will cause damage to your body!" Lin Rouxiu looked at her second brother with concern.
My heart was suddenly filled with hope.
In fact, she had already prepared the meal, but seeing that her second brother had been practicing, she couldn't bear to disturb him and kept the food hot.
"Two hours?" Lin Xiao was stunned. After he stopped practicing, he felt the hunger in his belly. He focused all his attention on boxing and martial arts. He forgot not only the fatigue and soreness in his body, but also his hunger.
When we came to the table outside, there were several exquisite stir-fried dishes placed there. Even though it was late at night, there was still a dense heat and fragrance filling the air.
Lin Xiao moved his index finger and went up to eat the white rice.
The clinking sound of bowls and chopsticks sounded, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Xiao downed a large bowl of white rice.
On the side, Lin Rou had already brought another bowl of rice.
While Lin Xiao was eating, Lin Rou watched from the side, smiling silently. For some reason, she felt that her second brother became cheerful, and she suddenly felt full of hope for the future of this family.
"Click!"
At this moment, the door of the house was opened, and a middle-aged couple walked in. The clothes on both of them were a little dirty, covered with oil stains and other stains, and their faces looked tired, and the middle-aged woman had a hand in her hand.
He was carrying a basket with some meat, eggs, vegetables, etc. in it.
"Dad, Mom." Lin Xiao and Lin Rou stood up immediately. These couple were their parents.
His father is Lin Weiguo and his mother is Chen Fenglan.
The two of them ran a small restaurant on a nearby street. The business was neither good nor bad, and they could still make ends meet.
"Haha, um, Xiao'er, Xiaorou, why are you two eating so late?" Lin Weiguo said. Because they run a restaurant, they came back late enough, but they didn't expect that their son hadn't finished eating yet.
"My second brother forgot the time when he was practicing just now, so he was a little late." Lin Rou explained. She glanced at Lin Xiao and hesitated for a moment, but still did not tell the story about Lin Xiao's fainting and the arrival of Manager Liu today.
My parents are tired enough after working outside for a day. Since nothing happened, there is no need to talk about these things and make them worry.
"Cultivation is important, but your health is even more important. You can't eat so late in the future." Lin Weiguo nodded and reminded.
"Okay, okay, Xiao'er has his own sense of proportion." Mother Chen Fenglan smiled and put down the basket in her hand. They had already eaten in the restaurant. These are for Lin Rou to cook at noon and evening tomorrow.
.
"It's very late. You two should take a shower and rest early. You can leave this place alone," Lin Weiguo said.
"Yeah." Lin Xiao and Lin Rou both responded.
After taking a shower and returning to his room, Lin Xiao lay on the bed, thinking about the day he had experienced, clenching his fists slightly.
"I will definitely become a true warrior as quickly as possible. By then, the situation at home will be better."
Lin Xiao said silently in his heart, he knew clearly what kind of disaster the whole family would face if he could not become a warrior before the martial arts palace evaluation.
Although the parents didn't show anything, the pressure in their hearts was huge.
"Perhaps this monster clone can bring me some surprises. When the time comes, I will release it into the mountains and forests. If I find a few elixirs, I will distribute them."
Lin Xiao closed his eyes, his heart filled with hope.
