After three more days of being groggy, Tang Yan finally woke up.
The black girl who was guarding him immediately jumped up happily and licked his cheek affectionately. It was just over-consumed that day and did not suffer much damage. It has a strong self-healing ability. After these seven or eight days of rest, it basically recovered.
Recovered.
"Are you awake? Come and have something to eat, I just made it." Not far away from the small lake, Du Yang was roasting some pheasants, and the rich aroma of meat was wafting in the forest.
This is a valley, lined with green trees and ancient trees. Although it doesn't block out the sky and sun, it is still a good place to hide.
Tang Yan was still very weak and needed to use branches to stand up.
"Where's Nintenzo?"
"Let's go." Du Yang looked haggard and coughed from time to time.
He woke up two days ago and took a small drop of the spiritual source liquid in the jade bottle to regain some energy and not be too weak to get up. However, the meridians in his body were seriously damaged and he could not circulate his spiritual energy smoothly.
, so...he may not be able to use martial arts for a long period of time.
"It's so free and easy. You just left when you asked and left us here." Tang Yan sat down against the ancient tree, looked at the sluggish Du Yang, and smiled bitterly: "How are you doing?"
"What do you think? It's no better than you." Du Yang handed the roasted meat to Tang Yan: "Eat something, thanks to the black girl, if it weren't for it, we would have been killed by this monster.
have eaten."
The black girl proudly raised her neck and asked Tang Yan for credit. They had been protecting the two of them these days.
Tang Yan smiled weakly, hugged it tightly, and divided the meat into equal pieces.
"Why let Tang Qian and Ade go? This is not like your style." Du Yang heard something from Ren Tianzang.
"The Tang family has been tortured enough by me. I don't want to make grandpa sad anymore. Even if I leave the family... as a queen." Tang Yan didn't take Tang Qian seriously at all. Even if he wanted to kill him, he would still have to kill him himself.
Defeat him, pin him to the ground and kill him, rather than relying on Nintenzo's power.
"What should we do next? If Tang Ba and the others can find us, there may be a chance of a turnaround, but if we only rely on us, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for long. If they are not caught by the Spirit King's Mansion, they will also be eaten by monsters."
"Leave it to fate and hide here for a while. How long will it take for your body to recover?"
"It can take as long as three to five years, or as short as three to five months. My meridians are now full of cracks. If I want to completely repair them, unless there is a panacea, I can only rely on them to heal little by little."
"I'll tell you another bad news. My green fire can't be used for the time being."
"What?! How long does your 'temporary' mean?"
"Not sure, I'm afraid it will take some time. During this period, we can only rely on absorbing the energy of heaven and earth to recover."
Du Yang shook his head bitterly: "The house leaked and it rained all night, which means misfortunes never come singly."
Tang Yan leaned against the ancient tree, looking up at the blue sky through the mottled branches and leaves. In the battle of Giant Elephant City, he lost a lot, but also gained a lot, family and friendship, and ignorant feelings. Family love is like the Tang family, so tight
The closed door, the decisive eviction, and finally the unexpected help of the old man; friendship is like Du Yang, although he is full of complaints on the surface, but in fact he never abandons him and fights to the death; love is like Elinda, a sister, a blooming ice butterfly, destined to
It became the most poignant scene in Tang Yan’s memory.
Tang Yan's heart was full of fighting spirit, and his blood was still surging. He wanted to fight back to the Giant Elephant City to bring blood and humiliation, but he understood better that it would be difficult for him to have a chance to take revenge within ten years.
This is the first separation between life and death since arriving in another world, the first time to truly experience love and hatred, a kind of pain, a pain that tears the soul, a kind of hatred, hatred originating from blood, and a sincerity.
Between life and death, he understood a lot.
Tang Yan climbed up to the top of the tree, sat cross-legged in meditation, held his breath attentively, and adjusted his physical condition. He opened his mouth and uttered words, absorbing the spiritual power between heaven and earth in the most basic way, and searched for the 'soul of life' according to the formula given by the blood doll.
Breathing in and out, bits of spiritual energy flowed into the spiritual veins, nourishing the dry meridians and easing the wounds on the body. It was not as pure and rich as the spiritual source liquid, but it had an unruly wildness that required careful refining to absorb.
.
But during this period, Tang Yan never felt the existence of the soul of life.
After Du Yang packed up his things, he found a relatively quiet place. He absorbed the energy of heaven and earth in the same way as before, repairing his meridians bit by bit, inch by inch. His spiritual power was not sufficient, and refining was very difficult. The process
It's even more complicated. If things continue like this, it may really take a year or two to fully recover as before.
But now that it was over, he had no choice.
Fortunately, he has a perseverant character and never gives up, just treating it as a test.
Although the black girl is immature, she is very smart. She lies in the corner and silently guards the two of them.
Tang Yan kept swallowing and absorbing, persistently refining and absorbing, and also searched carefully. Finally, after seven hours of persistence, he captured a strange energy fluctuation in a mouthful of heaven and earth spiritual power. It was very weak and very...
Tang Yan's spirit was greatly strengthened, and he hurriedly wrapped it up according to the formula. As a result... it collapsed with a cry, turning into spiritual power and sinking into his spiritual veins.
Tang Yan was stunned for a long time. After persisting for such a long time, he finally caught a ray, but it was just gone? This ray of life soul was more fragile than expected.
For the sake of his own lifespan, Tang Yan quickly adjusted his state and continued to absorb and absorb. It was quiet here, which was conducive to their hiding, but the corresponding killings would be reduced. This kind of soul of life is naturally very rare. If you want to catch a ray
, we must rely on probability and patience.
Five more hours later, as the sky gradually darkened, Tang Yan once again captured a wisp of the soul of life. This time, he did not blindly decompose it. He carefully leaned over and peeled it off bit by bit. It took ten minutes.
, the mist baby finally dissociated before it dissipated and sank into the sea of air.
A strange wave spread slowly, formless and colorless, but permeated the bones and flesh all over his body. Tang Yan had a very strange feeling. He couldn't explain it clearly. Before he could feel it carefully, everything returned to the way it was before.
With this success, Tang Yan cheered up and continued to persevere. The killings in the forest at night were more frequent, and maybe he could catch three or four souls of life by luck.
Tang Yan persevered and Du Yang also practiced silently.
Time passed minute by minute, the two of them insisted on each other, and no one disturbed them.
Two days later, Tang Yan suddenly thought of something. Why not arrange for Hei Niu to catch a few monsters with lower levels, and then kill them here. Their souls of life would inevitably escape, making it easier for Tang Yan to capture them.
Hei Niu and Tang Yan had a very tacit understanding. After a brief introduction, Hei Niu understood it completely. Not long after, he really brought back a second-level monster crocodile-headed dog and killed it in one bite under the ancient tree. Tang Yan swallowed and swallowed with concentration, and it went very smoothly.
It captures the soul of life far more clearly and concisely than before, making it easier to peel and refine.
But Hei Niu is still in her infancy after all, and has super strong sudden killing ability, but she cannot hunt stronger monsters alone. She hunts basically second-level monsters, and occasionally some elementary third-level monsters.
Tang Yan didn't want Hei Niu to stray too far, and he didn't want it to be in danger, so he only allowed it to move around this valley and wait, as the number of prey was naturally limited.
The crisis has not yet reached us, and they must remain vigilant at all times.
This continued for about ten days. Tang Yan absorbed enough energy from heaven and earth. The refined spiritual power flowed through his meridians like a trickling stream, healing all the injuries in his body. However, he absorbed only twenty-three strands of the soul of life.
The aging process has not slowed down and he still looks like an old man with gray and dry hair, but his mental state has obviously improved and he is no longer as dying.
On this day, thin mist began to appear deep in the valley. Tang Yan and Du Yang were very sensitive to this and did not dare to stay any longer, so they fled quickly with Hei Niu.
Tang Yan stood in the canopy of the tree, gazing at the vast undulating mountains: "Let's go west and go to the Delos Empire through the cemetery of the deserted city."
"Prince Ling's Mansion should have expected this. If we go there, wouldn't we be falling into a trap?"
"Staying in the psychedelic forest is not an option after all. We and the Lingwang Palace can't afford it. We can only try our luck there. You pretend to be a medicine boy who collects medicine. I don't need to modify my appearance. I pretend to be your grandfather."
.”
"I feel it's more appropriate for me to pretend to be your wife." Du Yang counterattacked unceremoniously.
The two smiled at each other, rushed into the confusing forest, and moved all the way west.
The black girl squatted on Tang Yan's head. She had a very keen sense of smell and could capture the breath of powerful monsters. With her help, Tang Yan and Du Yang were lucky enough to avoid the terrifying monsters around them, walking day and night, and being careful all the way.
.
On the way, I found some branches to weave into baskets, and picked up some common herbs to prepare for future disguises.
During this period, he did not forget to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to repair his weak body.
