The mountain breeze blew by, whistling and bringing bursts of coolness.
The green grass swayed in the wind, like waves, and continued far away. The red-spotted leopard remained motionless. Chen Zong seemed to have turned into a statue, with only his hair and clothes fluttering in the wind.
Breath after breath passed, Chen Zong became calmer and calmer, and his whole person directly entered an indescribable state, as if only himself and the red-spotted leopard in front of him were left in the world, and everything else had disappeared.
The figure of the red-spotted leopard seemed to be constantly enlarging before his eyes, filling Chen Zong's eyes.
Facing a monster for the first time, even if it was a first-level low-grade monster equivalent to the fourth level of Qi and Blood Realm, Chen Zong did not dare to have the slightest contempt. This was not a sparring match, but a battle of life and death. If he was not careful, he would be in trouble.
A dead end.
The red-spotted leopard moved, as if it turned into a bolt of lightning, quickly passing by a few meters, raising its sharp claws to tear the air, and clawing at Chen Zong with ferocity.
It senses danger from the human in front of it, and also senses temptation. That kind of temptation of blood, eating the other person will definitely make it more powerful.
The tips of the sharp claws glowed with cold light, extremely sharp, as if a meteor from the sky was striking directly, as if it was about to pierce Chen Zong's eyes. The terrible coldness made his blood stagnate slightly.
"So fast!" Chen Zong was surprised. This speed was faster than any fourth-level Qi-Blood Realm player he had ever fought.
Using the Fierce Tiger Technique, the tiger's aura suddenly burst out from the body, and at the same time, a tiger roar seemed to sound, making the red-spotted leopard slightly startled, mistakenly thinking that the human in front of him had turned into a tiger monster.
As soon as the power of Qi and Blood at the fifth level of Qi and Blood Realm was used, Chen Zong's arm strength was immediately enhanced by two thousand kilograms, reaching an astonishing three thousand kilograms.
What is enhanced is not only strength but also speed.
His right hand instantly grasped the hilt of the sword, and unsheathed the sword. It flashed across the sky like lightning, and the light was like the waning moon.
Sword drawing style!
The sword was like a waning moon rising across the sky, it was so fast that it cut the air in front of it. The speed of the sword was much better than that of a red-spotted leopard, and the timing was perfect.
The iron sword once again proved its sharpness.
Chen Zong only felt the sword cutting something, and there was a strange sound. In front of his eyes, there was a splash of scarlet, and a figure fell.
There was a bang and dust flew up.
Blood dripped from the sword. With a slight shake, all the blood on the sword was thrown away, and Chen Zong's eyes fell on the red-spotted leopard in front of him.
A huge gash was cut into the neck, almost completely severed. Despite such a serious injury, the red-spotted leopard was not completely dead yet. Its body was still twitching and struggling, as if it still wanted to get up.
"What an amazing vitality." Chen Zong couldn't help but secretly thought, and a surge of excitement emerged from deep in his heart.
Under the red-spotted leopard's wound, there was a shocking pool of scarlet, and the fishy smell was very pungent. Not far away, drops of scarlet blood fell like bead curtains on the sandy ground.
Looking at the body of the red-spotted leopard, and then looking at the sword in his hand, not only did he not feel uncomfortable, but he felt as if the sword in his hand had really started to strike.
"At first I thought that after the sword was polished, it was an open sword. But now I know that it is not a true open sword." Muttered to himself, Chen Zong looked a little dazed: "Only seeing blood is the real sword.
Kai Feng.”
"The sword itself is a killing weapon. It is sharp, straight, tough, and a bloodless sword. No matter how good it is, it is nothing more than a decoration."
The feeling of sudden enlightenment made Chen Zong seem to have grasped something, but at the same time, it seemed as if he had grasped nothing.
"Don't be hasty, don't be hasty, since this feeling has already appeared, sooner or later, I will catch it."
He said secretly, grabbed the red leopard's hind legs, which weighed hundreds of kilograms, and carried them back to the small courtyard of the stronghold.
"Brother Chen Chong, we have monster meat to eat today." Chen Zong said with a smile.
"What a big leopard, this is... a red-spotted leopard, it kills with one sword, my clan brother is good at swordsmanship." Chen Zhong came out after hearing this, and when he glanced at the body of the red-spotted leopard, he was suddenly startled, and then exclaimed: "It looks like,
The clan brother’s strength is enough to defeat most of the fourth level Qi and Blood realm.”
Chen Zhong still doesn't know that Chen Zong's current cultivation level is already at the fifth level of Qi and Blood Realm.
The two began to divide the work, fetching water from a nearby stream, peeling the skin, cleaning it, removing the useless parts, separating the bones and flesh, setting up two large cast iron pots, then spreading the skin to dry in the sun, and cutting the meat into pieces and throwing them away.
Put some dried herbs less than ten years old into a large cast iron pot and bring to a simmer over high heat.
The bones are thrown into another large iron pot, add an appropriate amount of water, and prepare to be boiled into bone glue.
The flesh and blood of warriors is a great tonic for monsters, and conversely, the flesh and blood of monsters is also a great tonic for warriors. The best way to eat it is to eat it raw, but neither Chen Zong nor Chen Zhong has this habit, and they still stew it.
It tastes better when you eat it.
This stew lasted for two hours before the strong aroma wafted out, but it was not enough. The fire was changed to medium heat and simmered for another two hours, and then changed to low heat and simmered for another hour.
In addition to adjusting the flames, the two of them practiced separately.
"It smells so good. What are you cooking?" Chen Waixiu came over and asked while sniffing.
"What does it have to do with you?" Chen Chong said coldly.
"Oh, that's... the skin of a red-spotted leopard. Could it be that the meat of a red-spotted leopard is in the pot?" Chen Waixiu's eyes shone.
In the clan hall, you can naturally eat the bones and flesh of monsters, but it takes some time to get them from the mountains to the clan hall, so the freshness will inevitably decrease. Moreover, the quantity is also limited.
"Go, go, go." Chen Zhong hated Chen Waixiu very much and immediately drove him away. Chen Zong didn't have a good impression of this person either.
"I said you two are too boring. A red-spotted leopard is so big, you two can't finish it. Besides, as a member of the same clan, shouldn't you share some with me?" Chen Waixiu was very thick-skinned and walked quickly.
When he got close to the cast iron pot, he was about to lift the lid. A sharp cold light burst out in front of his eyes. It was so sharp that the coldness made his whole body numb and he quickly backed away.
"Chen Zong... what do you mean? Do you want to kill me just because of a little bit of animal meat..." Chen Waixiu said in a stern tone.
"It's embarrassing." Chen Zhong said disdainfully: "If you want to eat monster meat, you can hunt it yourself."
"Isn't it just a bit of monster meat? I'm not surprised if you give it to me." Chen Waixiu became angry. When he pretended to turn around, he suddenly kicked out a stone and hit it like a meteor towards the cast iron pot, intending to hit it.
turn.
Since you don’t have anything to eat, let them not have anything to eat either.
"You..." Chen Zhong didn't have time to react.
The sword light flashed, and the stone was shattered into fine particles. Part of it was reflected towards Chen Waixiu, hitting him in pain.
"Chen Waixiu, you really deserve a beating." Chen Zhong was furious, rushed over and punched out, causing Chen Waixiu to run away.
"Even monsters can be hunted by me." Chen Waixiu shouted as he ran away.
"A villain." Chen Zhong did not chase him, but said disdainfully.
"Ignore him, the stew is almost done, let's start eating, brother." Chen Zong smiled and didn't take Chen Waixiu to heart.
When they opened the lid of the pot, an indescribable aroma penetrated their nostrils, making their mouths water.
There is almost no oil on the thick soup, and the large pieces of monster meat are very tempting. As for the other cast iron pot, it is still boiling to boil out all the essence from the bones and solidify them into gel.
The two of them started eating.
After kicking off the unnecessary parts and bones, the remaining meat weighed more than a hundred kilograms, enough for two people to eat for two or three days.
Next, the two of them took turns patrolling the surrounding area.
Chen Zong's footprints are getting farther and farther, and the probability of encountering monsters is getting higher and higher. After the first bloody battle, Chen Zong will encounter monsters again, even if they are first-level and middle-grade monsters.
There is no sense of tension at all, and you can use your strength to fight against him.
However, in terms of level, the first-level mid-level monster is equivalent to the fifth-level warrior of the Qi-blood realm, but it is more powerful than the ordinary fifth-level warrior of the Qi-blood realm. The first time, Chen Zong tried his best to kill it.
He was also slightly injured, mainly because he lacked experience in life-and-death fights with monsters.
As the life-and-death battles with monsters increased, Chen Zong felt that the sword in his hand seemed to be getting sharper and sharper.
He knew very well that it was just a feeling. The sword was still the same as before, without any change. What had changed was his mentality and will.
It has been a month since he arrived here. During this period, Chen Zong killed eight first-level low-grade monsters and three first-level mid-grade monsters. Now he is no longer the rookie he was back then.
"I feel like I'm about to grasp the subtle essence of the Eight True Sword Styles." Chen Zong said as he walked out and continued patrolling.
The life-and-death battles with monsters again and again made him grow in all aspects.
Go deeper.
Suddenly, Chen Zong was locked by an extremely terrifying aura, and his whole body became chilled.
"What a terrifying momentum."
"This kind of momentum is definitely better than a first-class mid-grade monster. Is it a first-class high-grade monster?"
If it is a first-level high-grade monster, then I don’t know whether I should be lucky or not.
The more powerful monsters near the mines were either killed or driven away. Most of them were first-grade low-grade monsters. Sometimes, you would encounter first-grade mid-grade monsters, and there were very few first-grade high-grade monsters.
A scalp-numbing sound followed, as if it sounded from deep in his throat, and like thunder, rushing into Chen Zong's ears.
Chen Zong's eyes were focused and radiant, staring at the direction where the sound came from. He saw a figure slowly walking out from behind a big tree where two people were hugging each other.
It doesn't look very tall. It's only about 1.8 meters long without the tail, and less than 1 meter in height. It's whole body is blue, its hair is soft and smooth, and it flutters in the wind. It looks very strong and vigorous.
The green eyes seemed to be able to burst out with light, and they were cold, ferocious and cunning. Being stared at, Chen Zong instinctively felt uncomfortable, and the exposed fangs shone with a cold light, which was extremely terrifying.
Its back is slightly arched, like a bulge in the spine, like steel.
This is a wolf, a big green wolf.
"Iron-backed Green Wolf...a first-class top-grade monster..." Chen Zong whispered, taking a deep breath, carrying the second stage of the Fierce Tiger Technique, the power of Qi and blood flowing faster, and the strength of his body surged, like a tiger beast's aura.
, then filled the air from the body, as if there were bursts of tiger roars.
