"The sword is like a snake, like an arrow on a string, it is drawn but not fired, and the heart is like water, letting all things in the world change, but I don't move, guarding myself strictly and waiting, and like hungry flies, buzzing in panic, waiting for the opportunity to lay eggs..."
Zhang Baoer's eyes lit up when he saw the beginning of this "Martial Arts Secret Book". This spiritual snake sword technique is really like a snake. There are ten moves in total, nine of which are defensive moves, and only one of which is offensive.
To sum up, there are only two points in this swordsmanship. One is to defend patiently, and the other is to thrust the sword as fast as lightning to give the opponent a fatal blow.
After reading the key points of the formula, Zhang Baoer did not read the annotations on the side, but looked at the pictures on the next ten pages, because he had seen the general appearance of those ten pictures - Chinese medicine clinic, physiology textbook, hospital corridor...
Yes, those pictures were human body pictures, but these ten pictures were different from those he had seen. The people in them were rough and had different movements. There were no skeletons drawn, only a few red lines.
Seeing those red lines, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, because the book said that they were meridians. These meridians connected the Dantian, like vines, to the hands, feet, waist, buttocks... various places. These meridians were the transporters.
It is used for spiritual power, or it can be said to be used for transporting 'force', but Zhang Baoer's Dantian... cyclone has not formed yet!
"What should we do? What should we do..."
He couldn't help but pace and think about it. If he hadn't seen this sword technique, he might not be so anxious. But after seeing it and learning how extraordinary it was, he couldn't sit still anymore!
You know, the 'Secret Book' says that when you practice this swordsmanship to the advanced stage, you can even pierce rocks with a branch! How can he not be in a hurry?!
"Right!"
Suddenly, I saw him stop and there was a fierce look in his eyes:
"Why don't I learn to swallow spirit stones like Xiao Ha and Tang Tiantian?! Yes! Swallow spirit stones...wait! By the way, this is the passage! 'It's best not to borrow external forces or take advantage of others in cultivation, especially
Spiritual stones and elixirs, unless there are high-grade spiritual stones or spiritual liquids or spiritual grasses above the earth level, otherwise the body will be damaged by impurities. It is best to take it step by step. Unfortunately, it is difficult for human monks like us to refine the evil spirit in the beast elixir. Unfortunately...
"
Thinking of this, Zhang Baoer's eyes lit up and he thought:
"I, Zhang Baoer, am a divine beast! I also have a beast elixir! Although I am a human body,... the beast elixir should be digestible... right?"
"Besides, the reason why I feel cold is probably due to 'insufficient energy'. My body may have been weak due to those two animal transformations! Yes! That should be the case! I can't measure myself by human standards!"
So, he took a deep breath, struggled to release his mental power to wrap the book, and then sent it to the ring.
Whoosh!
Like a broken sword, the book flew into the ring like Sun Wukong into Sister-in-law Niu's mouth.
However, just as he was about to turn around and walk back into the cave, he spat out the spiritual stone in his mouth with a loud sound. Although he didn't know whether what he said was true or false, he believed that it was not groundless.
Also, he understands the principles of 'medicine is divided into three parts poison' and 'fertilized fruits are not sweet'. He decided to only take the beast elixir and not the spirit stones, and was also prepared not to let Tang Tiantian and Xiao Ha continue to take the spirit stones -
—Although the spit out and the ones Yan Tie and the others had were almost the same size, they were obviously different. In other words, there were definitely impurities!
That's what he said, but he didn't mean to hate the spirit stone. No, he quickly squatted down and wiped the spirit stone clean, and then put it into the space ring.
"...No more mental energy can be used before recovery!"
When he was collecting the spiritual stone, he had a splitting headache. Knowing what the cause was, he murmured and walked back with Xiaoha in his arms with burning eyes.
"Sir! These are the remaining spirit stones and beast elixirs."
As soon as he walked in, Yan Tie came over with a grateful look on his face and handed the mostly deflated cloth bag to Zhang Baoer with both hands.
Zhang Baoer smiled, nodded, took it, and then returned to his bunk.
After putting Xiao Ha aside, he reached out and took out a beast elixir the size of a glass bead, and then put it into his mouth while Yan Tie and others were stunned.
Although he had the experience of swallowing it once in Yunshang Tribe, he was unconscious at the time and did not know the specific situation, so he did not dare to swallow it directly like Xiao Ha and Tang Tiantian, but held it in his mouth.
Feel it slowly in your mouth, and spit it out immediately if something feels wrong.
bass!
His eyes suddenly opened and widened, and a look of ecstasy quickly appeared on his face and eyes, because he noticed three energies:
The first one, at best, was hot, like chili pepper, which made his mouth feel uncomfortable, but it was within the tolerable range.
The second stream was a warm current like hot spring water, flowing along his tongue to his stomach, and then dispersed into his limbs and bones.
The third stream steamed up like air-conditioning and merged into his sea of consciousness, shocking his spirit!
"It works! And... it should be no problem! It's a pity for those who left with the breath! Haha, I swallow it!"
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated. He thought that the burning thing was the evil spirit. It was just chili pepper. It's not like he couldn't eat spicy food!
Wow!
Then, Yan Tie and others, who were stunned with fear, saw his throat move...
...
Zhang Baoer didn't know how many pills he swallowed, maybe five, maybe seven, suddenly!
Buzz!
With a loud sound, his body shook. He felt warm and comfortable all over, without any chill. He opened his eyes and saw black mucus oozing out from his skin.
"Cleaning the hair and cutting off the marrow?!"
He was ecstatic. Although he didn't know why he was still washing hair and marrow after he had awakened, he knew that it was beneficial to him!
He wanted to wake up Yantie and ask him to prepare some hot water to wash his body, but he didn't because he found that suddenly a thin stream of warmth was slowly flowing into his Dantian.
So, he reached out and grabbed another beast pill and swallowed it.
...
"Quick! Spin quickly..."
Scanning his Dantian with full mental strength, Zhang Baoer was extremely anxious. The white mist in his Dantian, which looked like sand on the outside and like glass beads on the inside, was getting thicker and thicker. It was almost milky, but it couldn't be turned around.
stand up!
I swallowed another one! Still no use!
Zhang Baoer couldn't help but opened his eyes and roared:
"You fucking M..."
The reason for this is that there is only one beast elixir left. Although this is the beast elixir of the three-foot tiger king of the half-step spirit beast, it has not been... well, but that is not the point.
The point is that he has swallowed more than twenty pills, and he is already extremely strong. His whole body is on fire, and he has endless strength as if he is going to explode. Especially his head, which is swollen! Fortunately, his stomach is only hot and he can bear it, otherwise it would be
Adding insult to injury!
He hesitated, he didn't know what would happen to him after swallowing this pill...
"Fight! If you're not ruthless, you can't stand firm!"
The faces of Daxuan, Xue Niang, Canglan Mingming and Cai'er suddenly appeared in his rolling sea of consciousness. His eyes sharpened, and without hesitation, he swallowed the three-foot tiger king's beast elixir.
Bang!
A few seconds later, there was a sound like a firecracker exploding from his lower abdomen. His body was shaken again, and his clothes were shattered. Only the wolf king's leather robe remained, and his white hair was dancing like a crazy snake - but Zhang Baoer didn't know this.
Because: He had a pain in his head and a pain in his lower abdomen, and then he fell into a coma and didn’t know what was going on!
...
"Eh?! Why is it so cold?! Um...what's the sound..."
"It seems like... Huh?! And there's Tang Tiantian's voice?!"
Zhang Baoer, who was in a coma, felt like he heard something. When he thought it might be Tang Tiantian, he finally heard it clearly:
"Brother! Big brother..."
Zhang Baoer suddenly opened his eyes, and the next moment, he was stunned!
No wonder I felt a little cold, no wonder I heard the rumbling sound. It turned out that I was floating on the flood...
At a glance, the first thing that caught the eye was a large floating tree trunk. Tang Tiantian was hugging her neck, while Yan Tie and others were further away. Although they all looked like drowned dogs, everyone was there.
Even Ruhu and the woman were there. Ruhu had woken up and was holding the big tree trunk and shouting "Sir" to him. The woman was still unconscious and lying on the stretcher being lifted by Yan Tie and others.
"Tang Tian! What's wrong?! Xiaoha..."
"Ha ha!"
He was just about to look for Xiao Ha when he heard a haha sound. He turned his head and looked around, only to see Xiao Ha playing happily behind him. After shouting, he swam towards him.
After seeing that Xiao Ha's water quality was excellent, Zhang Baoer quickly turned over, held on to the big tree trunk where his head was resting, and then looked at the torrent dozens of feet wide and asked in confusion:
"What's going on?! Aren't we in a cave? How..."
puff!
Tang Tiantian spit out a mouthful of light red water and said with a bitter look on her face:
"It rained heavily in the middle of the night. We all fell asleep. When we woke up, it was too late. We were all rushed out of the cave. Fortunately, the ugly lion was good at water and dragged you out of the water. Otherwise, others would have seen you.
I can’t see you anymore, brother..."
Zhang Baoer glanced at the bitter and embarrassed faces of Yan Tie and others. If he hadn't seen their tired faces, he would have wanted to curse them - I know you were tired that day, why didn't anyone keep a lookout? A large group of living people were actually drowned by the water.
Rushed out of the hole...
He was speechless. He regretted that he should not have asked them to help collect the bodies of the dead. At the same time, he also regretted, "I have obviously discovered that the hole was enlarged by water. Why not be more alert to the fact that it will rain?"
However, there was one thing he did not regret. Although he was in a coma, the pinhole on the periphery of his consciousness doubled in size, his sea of consciousness became three points larger, his energy was full, and his Dantian also expanded by three points, and the spiritual energy in his Dantian became
A whirlpool was slowly turning there - he was already a first-level monk, or what these bumpkin said was a first-level monk.
Also, he felt that he was filled with endless power, and he had the illusion that he could break mountains with one punch.
"fine..."
Seeing that the ring was well placed on his ring finger, Zhang Baoer breathed a long sigh of relief, then looked at the cliffs on both sides of the bank in the drizzle and asked:
"Which direction are we drifting in?"
Tang Tiantian looked confused. Zhang Baoer had never expected her. His eyes were looking at Yan Tie and the others.
Yan Tie shook the water from his face and said with a bitter smile:
"Sir, we have been drifting for more than half a day, and there has been no place to land. Although there are a few turning points,... if I remember correctly, the general direction is northwest!"
It’s not south or east!
Hearing this, Zhang Baoer, who felt very good about himself, suddenly felt a little nervous.
