Time is still passing slowly, as if life is counting down

The exit was obviously in the waterhole, but it was a dead end.

Helpless, Zhong Hou could only wait in despair.

Waiting for a miracle, waiting for death.

Zhong Hou had already given up, lying quietly on the ground, trying to reduce his consumption, slowing down the rate of breathing, and allowing himself to survive as long as possible even for a second.

Gradually, Zhong Hou's mind became heavier and heavier, and his consciousness became more and more confused, which was a precursor to a lack of oxygen, and if he fell asleep at this time, he might never wake up.

I don't know how long it has been, it may be a minute, it may be a day, or countless years, anyway, Zhong Hou's consciousness can no longer sense the passage of time.

Gradually, Zhong Hou lost consciousness all over his body, and even moving his fingers was a luxury, leaving only the last vague bit of consciousness.

In a daze, Zhong Hou's body unconsciously sucked something out, as if he was longing for fresh air, but it seemed that he couldn't breathe in anything.

At this moment, a vague star energy slowly burrowed into Zhong Hou's body with each difficult absorption.

The nature he absorbs is not air, and the tool he absorbs is not the mouth and nose, but the body, or more precisely, the pores on the body.

As the star energy enters from the pores, the skin, muscles, and bones begin to absorb automatically uncontrollably, and then store in the physical dantian, and begin to merge with the original star power.

Before he lost consciousness completely, Zhong Hou vaguely felt this change.

But his consciousness was already very vague, and this feeling was only fleeting, and he had exhausted all his energy, and he was completely unconscious.

I don't know how long it took, but a gust of fresh air wafted in.

Zhong Hou's consciousness was still foggy, and he couldn't tell if it was real or hallucination, but it didn't prevent him from instinctively breathing with all his might.

Slowly, Zhong Hou felt that his breathing became smoother, his head regained consciousness, and his body began to feel conscious.

He opened his eyes and slowly moved his hands and feet.

After a long time, Zhong Hou propped up his somewhat numb body with both hands and stood up cautiously.

He looked at the nine-tooth nail rake lying quietly on the ground, and then looked around.

I'm still alive, hahaha...

Zhong Hou finally confirmed that all this was real, and he was indeed alive, and couldn't help laughing.

After calming down a little, Zhong Hou began to look for the reason why he could survive.

Looking at it, the answer quickly emerged. The mist-bubbling waterhole is gone, replaced by a bottomless hole.

Seeing this situation, Zhong Hou couldn't guess the reason.

It must be the expiration of a month, and the spring water of Quenyang Spring has receded, and it is estimated that it will be another hundred years before it appears again.

In other words, this is just another spring, not the source.

I was glad that if this was the source, the spring might never recede. Or the ebb tide will be delayed for another two or three days, no, even if it is half a day, maybe Zhong Hou will really never wake up.

After making sure that he was safe for the time being, Zhong Hou no longer needed to leave in a hurry, he planned to check his physical condition first and adjust his state to the best to deal with the unknown risks that might arise next.

After checking his body, in addition to the problems of the meridians and dantian, Zhong Hou found that his body was in very good condition, and the sequelae of lack of oxygen had gradually disappeared at the moment of fresh air injection.

Zhong Hou, who was in a good mood, began to recall what happened before he almost fell unconscious.

He vaguely remembered that at the last moment before he fell into a complete coma, the pores on his body had all opened, and he was desperately absorbing something.

With doubts, Zhong Hou immediately experimented.

With his physical realm, controlling the expansion and contraction of pores is a very simple matter.

So, after the pores were closed and released, Zhong Hou suddenly felt a stream of pure origin star energy swarming from all directions.

Zhong Hou discovered that the Origin Star Energy had entered his skin, muscles, and bones through the countless pores on his body, and stored them.

Then, Zhong Hou finally discovered where his original star power was hidden.

At this time, the star energy that had just been inhaled was slowly fusing with the original star power, and the process was a little slower, but Zhong Hou also saved the effort of running Zhou Tian, and the efficiency was almost the same.

On the other hand, since the Basic Breathing Technique absorbs star energy through the mouth and nose, while this cultivation method is through the pores of the whole body, the two are not of the same order of magnitude at all, so this speed is even dozens of times faster than the cultivation of the Basic Breathing Technique.

You must know that the Basic Breathing Technique is a super five-star exercise, and its cultivation speed is fast, and now this new cultivation method is faster than the Basic Breathing Technique, so you can imagine how terrifying it must be.

The only drawback is that the purity of the star power cultivated in this way is not enough, and it also needs to be tempered through continuous fighting.

However, Zhong Hou has long been used to it, and his mentality has not been affected at all.

This cultivation method was named by Zhong Hou as the pore spitting method.

It took Zhong Hou two days to familiarize himself with this new cultivation method.

After becoming completely familiar with it, Zhong Hou decided to leave this underground cave where he had lived for a while.

Picking up the nail rake, without considering whether there was danger in the hole, Zhong Hou jumped decisively and jumped directly into the hole.

It was pitch black under the hole, and when Zhong Hou was just about to grope his way forward, the voice of 9527 actually sounded at this moment.

"Boss, you have a task reward that you haven't claimed, do you want to claim it now?"

"Quest rewards? What quest rewards? You mean... ”

Zhong Hou reacted quickly, and then immediately checked the progress of the task.

Sure enough, the first mission released by Xiao 9 has been completed.

Zhong Hou asked suspiciously, "When was this task completed?"

"When you fell into the pit, Boss. ”

"I remember that the mission progress was 829/1000 at that time, how did you complete it all at once?"

"The process doesn't matter. ”

"Okay... So how do I claim the mission reward?"

"The boss just needs to think about it. ”

Hearing this, Zhong Hou couldn't wait to read it silently in his heart.

He really wanted to know how the cultivation he had picked up for nothing had been improved.

Unfortunately, this process did not surprise Zhong Hou.

After a shiver ...

"Have you started?" Zhong Hou asked uncertainly.

"It's over. ”

"What?" Zhong Hou checked his body in disbelief, then read his own data again, and finally reluctantly believed that this was the truth.
