At dusk, the rays of light fall on the earth, coating the mountains and forests with a layer of brilliant golden sand, making the vicissitudes of life and mysterious primitive black forest feel more solemn and heavy.
From time to time, there were clear whip sounds in the valley. It was not someone driving cattle and sheep, but a black giant ape driving Zhang Xiaopeng.
The black giant ape sat cross-legged on the grass, holding his chin in one hand and holding a cane in the other. The crisp sound of the whip was made by it hitting the cane.
It stared at the alchemy furnace lying on the ground without blinking, its brows slightly furrowed, its eyes full of confusion, incomprehension and distress, as if it was thinking about a complex and difficult problem.
But it didn't forget to whip the cane in its hand.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of the rattan whipping was clear and sweet, but in Zhang Xiaozu's ears, it was the murderous sound of magic.
He was dragging his bloated, ball-like body, holding a boulder weighing tens of thousands of kilograms on his head, running wildly around the edge of the valley. He had been running in this running state for a whole afternoon.
His speed is extremely fast, because every step he takes is the step of dancing in the cold pool. This is his fastest speed and consumes a lot of energy. He was very afraid of this speed of consumption before, because his physical strength is limited and he will
It is quickly drained and loses its ability to fight.
But now, he couldn't wait to pour out all the energy in his body at once, because only in this way could he relieve the life danger he was currently facing.
The reason why his body expanded rapidly, as if it was inflated, was because he ate all the things in the alchemy furnace in one go, and those things were all heavenly materials and earthly treasures rich in spiritual power. There were so many heavenly materials.
The earthly treasure was digested and decomposed by him, and huge spiritual energy swept through his body like a storm. If he could not consume this out-of-control energy quickly, he would definitely explode and die.
Zhang Xiaozu would like to thank the Black Giant Ape, because if the Black Giant Ape hadn't discovered his problem at the first time, got him out of the alchemy furnace, and took the trouble to make gestures to let him understand what was going on, he would have been dead now.
His life was cut short.
He had been running around with heavy weight all afternoon, but with little effect. His body was still bloated and not even an inch had been reduced. At this rate of consumption, he felt that he would have to run non-stop for a month.
state
clang
The black giant ape, which had been brooding for an entire afternoon with its chin drawn, ran away without warning, stood up and slapped the alchemy furnace several dozen feet away, then jumped up to Zhang Xiaopu, grabbed Zhang Xiaopu and climbed up the cliff.
call
On the peak high above the sky, the biting cold wind was still blowing, and from time to time a small whirlwind blew by, kicking up the snow foam on the ground and flying all over the sky.
Zhang Xiaozu climbed to the top again, but he was not shivering from the cold like last night. The biting cold wind blowing just soothed the burning pain on his skin, and instead made him feel cool and comfortable.
Compared to running with a heavy load, Zhang Xiaopou has better and faster ways to consume energy, such as using the "Three Steps to Kill" sword technique that combines the Hantan dance posture, but for some reason, the Black Giant Ape does not allow him to do this, and only allows him to
Running with a heavy load.
Without the urging of the black giant ape, Zhang Xiaozu consciously picked up the boulder he used last night and raised it above his head.
When the boulder reached the top, Zhang Xiaozu was slightly surprised because he clearly felt that the boulder was much lighter. Oh no, to be precise, it was because his strength had increased, giving the illusion that the boulder had become lighter.
Although his body was bloated, Zhang Xiaozu felt that the soles of his feet were more stable. He tried it and was able to trot. However, when training ended this morning, he could only walk slowly while holding the boulder.
Before Zhang Xiaopou had time to be happy, he felt the huge boulder above his head suddenly sink, weighing him down so much that he almost fell over.
"What a fool!" Zhang Xiaopou yelled angrily because the black giant ape jumped onto the boulder above his head, apparently intending to sit on it and treat him like a donkey or a horse.
Zhang Xiaozu had no choice but to curse the black giant ape. With the weight of the black giant ape on his head, the speed of his feet returned to the same speed as yesterday.
But the difference is that today he does not need to eat the dark wrinkled dried fruit, nor does he need to stop to rest, because there is endless energy pouring into his body waiting for him to consume.
The sun rises in the east, and the first ray of sunshine in the morning shines on Zhang Xiaozu. He is still walking with a heavy load, and his pace is much more steady and faster than at the beginning last night.
The black giant ape lay on the boulder and slept soundly, its drum-like snoring shaking several pieces of snow off the cliff from time to time.
Zhang Xiaozhu's bloated body has shrunk by one-third, making his movements much more flexible. His skin is still red with blood, which is the result of burns that may not go away in a short time.
The sun sets in the west and the day flies by in the blink of an eye.
But for Zhang Xiaozu, this day was boring and long. For the first time, he felt the boringness of cultivation mentioned by Qi Ronger. At the same time, he also understood what Qi Ronger said: Those with great perseverance may not be able to
Cultivation of one's body can lead to the Great Way; but those without great perseverance will never be able to practice one's body and realize the Great Way.
Sunrise and sunset, sunset and sunrise.
Zhang Xiaozu endured the loneliness and boredom, and kept on working non-stop, like a tireless machine, constantly repeating an instruction. He couldn't remember the past few days, it seemed like five days, and it seemed like...
For six days, I only knew that my footsteps were smoothing out the snow covering a hundred feet in radius, and that my steps were becoming more and more steady.
In the endless loneliness and boredom, he actually found the pleasure of practicing. Every time the black giant ape added weight to his head, he always felt a sense of conquest, feeling that he had overcome another difficulty.
When the sun rose again in the east, Zhang Xiaozhu's bloated body finally returned to its original shape. No, it became more well-proportioned and stronger than before. Those graceful muscle lines outlined an endless sense of strength.
But what makes Zhang Xiaozhu unhappy is that his skin is still red and looks like it has been cooked. What's even worse is that since he came out of the alchemy furnace, his body has been exuding an alluring aroma.
, making him more like a well-cooked barbecue.
Guru
Zhang Xiaozu's stomach growled with hunger. This was the first time he felt hungry in several days, a strange yet familiar feeling.
Boom!
The giant black ape jumped up from the cliff and landed in front of Zhang Xiaozu. Its huge body shook the ground.
It was holding a thick stick over two feet long in its hand, with a black rope wrapped around its thick waist. It didn't know what it wanted to do.
boom!
Zhang Xiaozu threw the boulder aside, pointed at the black giant ape with his shriveled belly, and then pointed at his mouth, meaning to tell the black giant ape that he was hungry and wanted to eat.
The black giant ape smiled and nodded.
Yes, that's right, it laughed.
Zhang Xiaozu suddenly felt horrified and jumped back without thinking. Last time, the black giant ape just glanced at him with ill intentions and threw him into the alchemy furnace to be cooked. Now he even dared to smile at him.
I wonder what bad shit this black guy has in his stomach.
The giant black ape took a step forward and reached out to grab Zhang Xiaopou.
Zhang Xiaozu had already been concentrating, waiting for this move. He twisted his feet, spun his body, and flew backwards with his back close to the ground. The fingertips of the black giant ape brushed against his body. This time,
It came up empty.
The black giant ape caught the opportunity and was obviously stunned for a moment. However, it did not rush to follow up. Instead, it scanned Zhang Xiaopou up and down with great interest. Suddenly, it punched out and hit Zhang Xiaopou from top to bottom.
Zhang Xiaozu flew sideways and dodged its attack again. His movements were clean and neat, giving people a very relaxed feeling, because he completely captured the black giant ape's attack line, and his body kept up with the reaction speed of his brain.
.
"Haha!" Zhang Xiaozu was in a happy mood and couldn't help laughing up to the sky. He pointed at the black giant ape and said provocatively: "Black-haired beast, if you haven't seen me for three days, you will look at me with admiration. You will never catch me again."
Zhang Xiaozu's shouting stopped suddenly because the arm he was pointing at was grabbed by the black giant ape, and he didn't even see clearly how the black giant ape took action.
bang bang bang
The consequences of failing to show off are often miserable.
Zhang Xiaopou was like a rag bag, grabbed by one arm by the black giant ape, and violently smashed against the ground.
One after another, large human-shaped pits appeared on the hard and smooth ground, accompanied by Zhang Xiaopou's miserable screams.
Zhang Xiaozu really wanted to say to the Black Giant Ape: "Brother, let me go. I know I was wrong and I will never dare to do it again."
It's a pity that the black giant ape didn't give him a chance and beat him until his head was bloody. He didn't even have the strength to move his legs, so the black giant ape let him go.
Zhang Xiaopeng was exhaling too much and taking in too little air. He collapsed on the ground like a puddle of meat.
The black giant ape untied the black rope from his waist. The rope was as thick as his little finger and was more than three feet long. It tied Zhang Xiaozu's hands and feet together, then tied a long stone weighing several dozen kilograms to Zhang Xiaozu's body, and then tied the rope to Zhang Xiaozu's body.
The other end of the stick was tied to the thick stick in his hand, and then the stick was swung to lift Zhang Xiaopeng up.
The black giant ape carried a wooden stick on its shoulders, with Zhang Xiaopeng dangling on it, and jumped in one direction. After climbing over two hills, it stopped.
Zhang Xiaozu was hanging in the air, feeling that the temperature in the air suddenly dropped a lot, and he couldn't help but shiver. He was curious about why the black giant ape stopped, raised his head and looked forward, when his eyes fell on a clear lake.
When he stood on the cold blue lake, he suddenly understood what the black giant ape was going to do.
"Black-haired beast, I will fight you until death!" Zhang Xiaozu roared angrily.
Whoosh!
The black giant ape held the thick stick in both hands and threw the stick forward, and Zhang Xiaopeng flew out directly.
Gudong!
Zhang Xiaozu had a stone weighing dozens of kilograms tied to his body, which was very heavy, so the sound of entering the water was very clear.
The black giant ape squatted down by the lake and stared at the rope attentively.
Yes, it is fishing, and Zhang Xiaozu is the bait for fishing.
Zhang Xiaozhu burst into tears. He never thought that he would be boiled in the alchemy furnace, but he never thought that he would be used as bait and sink into the lake. He didn't feel very sad, but he felt that the black-haired beast did not take him seriously at all.
People watch.
what to do?
Zhang Xiaozhu was a little confused for a moment because he had never had any experience in this area.
I don’t blame him, because no one else would have had the experience of being tied to a rope and used as bait.
Unfortunately, he had just been severely beaten by the black giant ape, and he didn't even have the strength to struggle. He could only let his body be dragged by the long stone and sink into the lake.
The water in the lake was so cold that it drilled into the bones like needles. Zhang Xiaozu could only hold on for a moment, and then he shivered from the cold.
Just when he was guessing whether he would attract the fish first, freeze to death first, or drown first, a big white fish suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
