Chapter 64: A Miserable End
Smack!
At dusk, the glow shines on the earth, coating the mountains and forests with a layer of brilliant golden sand, making the vicissitudes of life and the mysterious primeval black forest more solemn and heavy.
From time to time, a few crisp whips sounded in the valley, not someone was driving cattle and sheep, but the black giant ape was driving Zhang Xiaopaw.
The black giant ape sat cross-legged on the grass, holding its chin in one hand and a rattan in the other, and the crisp whip sound was made by it whipping the rattan.
Its eyes stared at the Dan furnace lying on the ground without blinking, its brows furrowed slightly, its eyes full of confusion, incomprehension, and distress, as if it was thinking about a complex and difficult question.
But it didn't forget to whip the rattan in its hand.
Smack!
The sound of rattan slamming was crisp and pleasant, but in Zhang Xiaopaw's ears, it was the magic sound that urged him to die.
He was dragging his bloated, ball-like body, carrying a boulder weighing tens of thousands of pounds above his head, running wildly around the edge of the valley. He's been running like this all afternoon.
His speed is extremely fast, because every step he takes is stepping on the steps of the cold pool dance, which is his fastest speed, and it is extremely physical. He was very afraid of this rate of attrition before, because his physical strength was limited, and he would be quickly drained, thus losing his ability to fight.
But now, he wanted to pour all the energy in his body out at once, because only in this way could he relieve the danger of his life that he was currently facing.
The reason why his body expanded rapidly, as if it was inflated, was because he ate all the things in the Dan furnace in one go, and those things were all heavenly and earthly treasures rich in spiritual power, so many heavenly materials and earthly treasures were digested and decomposed by him, and the huge spiritual energy swept through his body like a storm, if he couldn't quickly consume these out-of-control energy, he would definitely explode and die.
Zhang Xiaopaw wanted to thank the black giant ape, because if it hadn't been for the black giant ape who found out about his problem in the first place, got him out of the Dan furnace, and took the trouble to make comparisons and comparisons, so that he could understand what was going on, he would have died by now.
He had been running around with weight all afternoon, but with little success, and his body was still bloated, not even an inch had disappeared. At this rate, he felt like he had to run non-stop for a month.
Bang β
Whenβ
The black giant ape, who had been pondering for an afternoon with his chin in his lap, ran away without warning, got up and slapped the Dan furnace fan dozens of feet away, and then jumped in front of Zhang Xiaopaw and grabbed Zhang Xiaopaw and climbed up the cliff.
Whew-
On the peak above the nine heavens, the biting cold wind was still blowing, and a small whirlwind blew from time to time, rolling up the snow foam on the ground and flying all over the sky.
Zhang Xiaopaw climbed to the top again, but instead of being shivering from the cold like last night, the biting cold wind that was blowing just soothed the burning pain of his skin, but made him feel cool and comfortable.
Compared with running with weights, Zhang Xiaopaw has a better and faster way to consume energy, such as using the "Three Steps to Kill" knife technique that integrates the Hantan dance, but for some reason, the black giant ape does not allow him to do this, and only lets him run with weights.
Without the urging of the black giant ape, Zhang Xiaopu consciously picked up the boulder he used last night and raised it above his head.
When the boulder passed over the top, Zhang Xiaopaw was slightly surprised, because he obviously felt that the boulder was much lighter, oh no, to be exact, his strength had increased, thus giving birth to the illusion that the boulder had become lighter.
Although his body was bloated, Zhang Xiaopaw felt that the soles of his feet were more stable, he tried it, and he was able to trot up, but you must know that when he finished training this morning, he could only walk slowly with a boulder.
Before Zhang Xiaopaw could be happy, he felt that the boulder above his head sank suddenly, and he almost fell headlong.
"Holy shit!" Zhang scolded angrily, because it was the black giant ape who jumped on the boulder above him, and it seemed that he was going to sit on it and call him like a donkey and horse.
Zhang Xiaoshu couldn't help the black giant ape, and he could only scold a few words. There was an extra weight of a black giant ape on top of his head, and the speed under his feet was back to yesterday's turtle speed.
But the difference is that today he doesn't need to eat the black and crumpled dried fruit, and he doesn't have to stop to rest, because there is endless energy in his body waiting for him to consume.
The sun rose in the east, and the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone on Zhang Xiaopaw, who was still walking with weights, and his pace was much steater and faster than when he first started last night.
The black giant ape lay asleep on the boulder, and the sound of a drum shook off a few pieces of snow on the cliff wall from time to time.
Zhang's bloated body shrank by a third, making him much more agile. His skin was still congested red, which was left by the burn, and I am afraid that it will not go away in a short time.
As the sun sets, the time of the day flies by in the blink of an eye.
However, for Zhang Xiaopaw, this day was boring and long, and for the first time, he felt the boring and boring cultivation that Qi Rong'er said, and at the same time understood what Qi Rong'er said: Those with great perseverance may not be able to cultivate the avenue of self-cultivation, but those who are not with great perseverance must not be able to cultivate the avenue of self-cultivation.
Sunrise and sunset, sunset and sunrise.
Zhang Xiaopaw endured loneliness and boredom, non-stop, non-stop, like a tireless machine, constantly repeating a command. He didn't remember the past few days, it seemed like five days, it seemed like six days, he only knew that his steps had smoothed out the snow in a hundred square feet, and he only knew that his steps were getting more and more steady.
In the endless loneliness and boredom, he actually found the pleasure of cultivation. Every time the black giant ape added weight to the top of his head, he always felt a sense of conquest, feeling like he had crossed another difficulty.
When the sun rose in the east again, Zhang Xiaopu's bloated body finally returned to its original state, no, it became more proportional and strong than before, and the beautiful muscle lines outlined an endless sense of strength.
But what made Zhang Xiaopaw unhappy was that his skin was still red, and he looked like he had been cooked. What's worse is that ever since he came out of the Dan furnace, his body has been emitting an enticing aroma that makes him more like a cooked barbecue.
Gollum β
Zhang Xiaopai's stomach screamed with hunger, this was the first time in a few days that he felt hungry, a strange and familiar feeling.
Boom!
The black giant ape jumped up from under the cliff and landed in front of Zhang Xiaopu, its huge body shaking the ground.
It held a thick stick more than two feet long in its hand, and a black rope was wrapped around its thick waist, and it didn't know what it wanted to do.
Rumble!
Zhang Xiaopu threw the boulder aside, pointed at the black giant ape's shriveled stomach, and then pointed to his mouth, meaning to tell the black giant ape that he was hungry and wanted to eat.
The black giant ape smiled and nodded.
Yes, that's right, it laughed.
Zhang Xiaopaw was suddenly terrified, and jumped back without thinking about it. The last time the black giant ape just glanced at him with bad intentions, and threw him into the Dan furnace to cook, and now he actually smiled at him, he didn't dare to think that this black guy had some bad farts in his stomach.
The black giant ape stepped forward and reached out to grab Zhang Xiaopu.
Zhang Xiaopaw had already calmed down, waiting for this move. He twisted his feet, spun his body, and flew out upside down with his back against the ground. The black ape's fingertips grazed his body, and this time, it caught the air.
The black giant ape grabbed the air, obviously stunned for a moment, but did not rush to follow up, but swept up and down with interest. Suddenly, it threw a punch and smashed it into Zhang Xiaopu from top to bottom.
Zhang Xiaopaw flew sideways, dodging its attack once more. The movements are clean and neat, giving a very relaxed feeling, because he completely captures the black giant ape's attack line, and his body keeps up with the reaction speed of his brain.
"Haha-" Zhang Xiaopaw was in a happy mood, couldn't help but look up to the sky and laughed, pointed at the black giant ape and provoked: "Black-haired beast, if you don't see it for three days, you won't be able to catch it again-"
Zhang Xiaopai's shouting stopped abruptly, because the arm he was pointing at the black giant ape was grabbed by the black giant ape, and he didn't even see how the black giant ape made a move.
Bang bang bang β
The end of pretending to be unable to force is often miserable.
Zhang Xiaopaw was like a rag bag, grabbed by an arm by the black giant ape, and smashed it wildly on the ground.
One after another, large humanoid pits appeared on the hard, smooth ground, accompanied by the miserable screams of Zhang Xiaopai.
Zhang Xiaopaw really wanted to say to the black giant ape: "Big brother, let me go, I know it's wrong, I don't dare anymore." β
It's a pity that the black giant ape didn't give him a chance, and smashed him until his head was bleeding, and he didn't even have the strength to smash his legs, so the black giant ape let go of him.
Zhang Xiaopaw breathed out more and took in less air, and collapsed on the ground like a puddle of flesh.
The black giant ape untied the black rope from his waist, the rope was the thickness of his little thumb, and it was more than three zhang long. It tied Zhang Xiaopu's hands and feet together, tied a long stone of dozens of catties to Zhang Xiaopu's body, and then tied the other end of the rope to the thick stick in his hand, and then picked Zhang Xiaopu up with a flick of the stick.
The black giant ape carried a wooden stick on his shoulder, and Zhang Xiaopaw hung on it and jumped in one direction. Over two small hills, it stopped.
Zhang Xiaopaw was swinging in the air, only to feel that the temperature in the air had suddenly dropped a lot, and he couldn't help but shiver when it was so cold. He wondered why the black giant ape stopped, looked up and looked forward, and when his eyes fell on the cold blue lake, he suddenly understood what the black giant ape was going to do.
"Black-haired brute, Lao Tzu will never die with you in this life!" Zhang Xiaopaw roared angrily.
Sou!
The black giant ape held the thick stick in both hands, threw the stick forward, and Zhang Xiaopaw flew out directly.
Boom!
Zhang Xiaopaw was tied to dozens of pounds of stones, and the weight was very sufficient, so the sound of entering the water was very crisp.
The black giant ape crouched down by the lake, staring intently at the rope.
That's right, it's fishing, and Zhang Xiaopu is the bait of that fishing.
Zhang Xiaopaw burst into tears, he didn't think that he would be put into the Dan furnace to cook, but he never thought that he would be used as bait to sink into the lake. I don't feel very desolate in my heart, I just feel that the black-haired beast doesn't treat him as a human at all.
What to do?
Zhang Xiaopaw's mind was a little confused for a while, because he had no experience in this area.
Don't blame him, because if you were any one else, you wouldn't have the experience of being tied to a rope as bait.
It's a pity that he has just been severely abused by the black giant ape, and he doesn't even have the strength to struggle, so he can only let his body be dragged by the long stone and sink into the lake.
The lake was so cold that it drilled into the bones like a needle. Zhang Xiaopaw only lasted for a moment, and then shivered with cold.
Just as he was guessing whether he would attract the fish first, freeze to death, or drown, a large white fish suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
