The night was as cold as water, and Lu Zhong slowly opened his eyes, with helplessness written on his face.
Without the abundant spiritual energy support in Qingliu Ruins, it would be extremely difficult for him to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to restore his spiritual power, let alone the practice of running exercises.
From meditating in the evening to now, it took three hours to recover half of my spiritual power.
"No wonder there was an invasion of demonic cultivators in Qingliu Market. Most of the residents have never thought of moving away. It is really a rare place to practice spiritual energy. It is estimated that after the market incident, the people who escaped
I will go back too." Lu Zhong thought of this and couldn't help but lament the hardship of the road.
Wealth lovers love earth. Although earth is ranked last, its importance is only slightly less than the first three.
The place for cultivation is so important. It can be imagined that the influence of the Money Couple Dharma on cultivation is definitely not as simple as talking about it.
When Lu Zhong thought of this, he suddenly remembered that he got a ring in the afternoon and quickly took it out.
The ring is made of brass, and its surface is engraved with complex patterns and still shimmers.
On the inner ring of this brass ring, there are four small characters engraved on it.
"Little Earth Spirit Ring?"
When Lu Zhong read out those four words, his expression was filled with confusion at first, and then full of ecstasy.
"Could it be that this is a magic weapon?"
If this is really the case, then he will make a lot of money this time!
Especially this small earth spirit ring, it seems that it is obviously a defensive magic weapon, and its value is higher than that of an offensive magic weapon.
After calming down, Lu Zhong began to try to input spiritual power into the spiritual ring.
With the input of spiritual power, the small earth spirit ring began to glow with a faint earth-yellow light, and soon an earth-yellow cover the size of a person appeared, covering his entire body inside.
After poking at it curiously, Lu Zhong discovered that it was a one-way protective shield. Thinking about the role of the small earth spirit ring, it should be to condense a protective shield.
I tried it and found that the strength of the small earth spirit shield is not high. It will probably disappear if it blocks a spell.
"Even so, the Little Earth Spirit Ring is still a magic weapon!" Lu Zhong couldn't put it down, so he put it on his hand directly after it was filled with energy, which was a small guarantee for his own safety.
"Gululu!"
After spending a lot of mana and not eating anything all afternoon, I was already feeling a drum in my stomach.
"Let me think about what can be eaten here."
Lu Zhong recalled that when he entered the valley, there seemed to be a vegetable field beside the stream.
Although the vegetable field was overgrown with weeds, there seemed to be some potatoes.
Following his memory, he began to search.
The moonlight tonight is not very bright, and it is sometimes obscured by dark clouds, making it difficult to see.
Fortunately, Lu Zhong's body has been nourished by spiritual energy for a long time, and although his eyesight is not up to the level of seeing in the dark, he can still see the scenery in the valley clearly with a trace of moonlight, and will not become blind at night.
Perhaps it was not midsummer yet, so the valley was quiet at this time, and not a single insect could be heard.
At first, he didn't think it was anything.
Until there was a soft sound behind him, and I suddenly felt a chill on my back.
Subconsciously, Lu Zhong activated the protective shield of the small earth spirit ring.
Almost at the same time, there was only a "bang" sound, and a huge force came from behind, and he was directly shot away with both man and shield.
When the clouds opened and the moon came out, a huge demonic beast with scarlet eyes and green-brown scales all over its body slowly walked out of the darkness.
It has rough scales like bark, and the surface is covered with hardened mud and resin, which can provide a certain degree of protection for the beast. Its streamlined body is as strong and powerful as a leopard, and its one-foot-long body is full of oppression.
feel.
A pair of dagger-like tusks shined with metallic luster in the moonlight.
"Blue-scaled leopard!"
Lu Zhong felt suffocated and immediately guessed the origin of this beast.
The green-scaled leopard is a kind of monster active in Yanling Mountain. The green-scaled leopard skin on its body is a good raw material for making low-grade robes. The leopard's teeth are also raw materials for refining magic weapons. It is the favorite hunter of the beast-hunting monks.
Kill the target.
He never imagined that he would meet the Green Scaled Leopard like this.
It is true that the Green Scaled Leopard is a first-level monster, but its strength is equivalent to that of a mid-level Qi Refining monk, and cannot be dealt with by a mere second-level Qi Refining monk.
Let alone deal with it, Lu Zhong probably wouldn't even be able to fight back.
Fortunately, he couldn't turn around and run away. Once he showed his timidity, it would only make the beast even more excited.
"What should I do?" Lu Zhong was so anxious that he kept moving his eyes to the left, where Li Dong lived. "The lights haven't been lit yet. Could it be that Li Dong hasn't noticed it yet?"
He squeezed the fireball talisman in his hand, but he didn't think he could hit this agile leopard with one blow.
All leopards are as agile as the wind, let alone first-level monsters like the blue-scaled leopard.
To be honest, he wouldn't be surprised if it sprouted wings and flew.
"Ouch..." A low roar came from the mouth of the green-scaled leopard.
It can be seen that it is already very impatient.
The front paws kept digging into the mud, making a ditch with each paw. Occasionally, it turned over a piece of bluestone, which immediately pulled out a series of sparks.
Seeing this scene, Lu Zhong's heart trembled, and he wondered what would happen if he was scratched.
At the very least, I guess I have to lose a few kilograms of meat, right?
The green-scaled leopard circled around its prey several times, and when it saw that the target didn't run away and exposed its flaws, it finally couldn't bear it any longer.
The body full of muscles flexed and rushed out like an arrow from a string.
At this moment, a loud shout came from the side.
"middle!"
Several ice crystal spears were shot out from the side, and the target was clearly the green-scaled leopard.
When the green-scaled leopard realized the danger, it suddenly turned around in the air and quickly dodged most of the ice spears. Only one of them hit its hind leg, and it roared in pain.
Lu Zhong was the closest, and his eardrum was almost punctured.
He almost thought he was going to die just now, but fortunately Li Dong arrived in time.
"Why are you still standing there? Come with me and drive it away!" On the slope, Li Dong rushed down with a long sword in hand and shouted loudly.
A word awakened the dreamer, Lu Zhong quickly raised the long knife in his hand, activated the small earth spirit shield again, and also surrounded him.
Without mastering a single attack spell, it was impossible to injure the Blue Scaled Leopard with his strength. The only effect was to distract the beast and provide an opportunity for Li Dong to find an opportunity to attack.
This is what Lu Zhong did, constantly making loud noises from his mouth, which kept the green-scaled leopard distracted.
On the other side, Li Dong was holding several talismans in his hand, staring ahead, looking for an opportunity to take action.
The two sides were in a stalemate for a while.
At this time, the green-scaled leopard roared and jumped far away.
It looked back at the two of them, then disappeared into the night without looking back.
Seeing this scene, Lu Zhong felt a thump in his heart and thought to himself that it was not good.
The green-scaled leopard is extremely vengeful. Now that it failed to catch prey and was injured instead, it will definitely hold a grudge against the two of them. The reason why it looked back must be to remember the appearance of itself and Li Dong, so as to prepare for future revenge.
"Don't worry about it, we will leave here tomorrow." Li Dong saw Lu Zhong's worry and said calmly.
He knows more about the Blue-Scale Leopard and knows that once this kind of monster suffers a loss, it will not attack again unless it is sure. In other words, the Green-Scale Leopard will not attack again until it recovers.
them.
After the green-scaled leopard recovered from its injuries, the two of them had been gone for a long time, so how could they be afraid that this beast would come looking for revenge?
Back in the cave, Lu Zhong did not dare to sleep again and spent the rest of the night in fear.
It wasn't until dawn that he dared to relax a little.
The bright sunshine fell into the valley, dispersing the night fog from last night.
With dark circles under his eyes, Lu Zhong walked to the creek in the valley, took a piece of water from the stream and washed his face. He suddenly felt very energetic.
Looking towards Li Dong, he had already carried the boy out of the door.
"Who is this person of his? He doesn't look like his own flesh and blood, and he even takes him with him when he runs away?" Lu Zhong thought curiously, but he didn't plan to ask Li Dong about this, so as not to anger him.
He could see that Li Dong was actually a cold and heartless person.
The reason why I was willing to give out an exorcism charm before was probably to find a helper so that I could escape from the dangerous Qingliu Ruins together.
As for the rescue last night, he was probably afraid that after Lu Zhong died, he would be unable to do it alone.
Perhaps the only thing Li Dong cared about was the boy.
