Shaking his head helplessly, Zhang Tao walked towards the hay.

"Come out!" Zhang Tao shouted, standing in front of the hay.

The breeze blew through the grass, and there was no movement in it.

"Hey," Zhang Tao sighed and walked into the hay.

"You know, your concealment doesn't work with me. Zhang Tao stood still and looked down at Shangguan Shuai who was lying on the ground.

At this time, Shangguan Shuai Shuai was also looking at Zhang Tao, his eyes were full of innocence and helplessness.

Shangguan Shuai Shuai stood up from the ground, his body covered with a straw coat made of hay, and a hat made of hay on his head.

In such a short period of time, I don't know how he did all this work.

"How the hell did you find me? Throwing aside the hay on his body, he reached out to take off the hay on his head, and said helplessly.

Zhang Tao did not answer his question.

"I told you, don't follow me. ”

"Who said I followed you, it's warm here, I like it. "Shangguan Shuai Shuai has a few sticks of hay on his head, which looks very funny.

Shaking his head helplessly, Zhang Tao said, "If I find out that you are following me again, don't blame me for being unkind." ”

"Ugh. Shangguan Shuai Shuai was speechless.

"Hmph, who rarely follows you. He turned and walked in the direction he had come.

Zhang Tao knew that he would never give up.

But now that it was getting late, Zhang Tao was not ready to continue his journey, and Shangguan Shuai Shuai sat down to rest not far from him.

After a day's journey, both of them were a little tired, and as night fell, the two of them gradually fell asleep.

Zhang Tao had a dream that he returned to Yucheng and was reunited with his family.

This is not the first time he has had such a dream, he has had it during the flood famine, and he has also had it when he was in the outpost city.

But dreams are dreams after all, and you always have to wake up.

Zhang Tao looked at the few stars in the sky, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes.

The boy has tears and doesn't flick, but he hasn't reached the sad place!

In the dead of night, something always comes to mind.

"Where are you from. Shangguan Shuaishuai's voice came.

It turned out that he hadn't slept yet.

"Judging by your cultivation, you shouldn't be someone from an ordinary family. ”

"Also, how did you cultivate your three-attribute physique, and you actually reached the level of a chivalrous man. ”

"I think your martial arts are also quite high-end, I don't dare to say that I know all the martial arts, but I know some of the martial arts of the famous sects on the rivers and lakes. ”

"However, I have never seen your martial arts. ”

"Could it be that your family or sect has been living in seclusion? ”

Shangguan Shuai Shuai asked a series of questions, but Zhang Tao did not answer any of them.

Seeing that Zhang Tao didn't react, Shangguan Shuai Shuai was a little embarrassed.

"Hey, are you dumb, you can't say a word. ”

Zhang Tao still ignored him.

Shangguan Shuai Shuai was very angry, but he had no way to take Zhang Tao.

"It's really boring, I've never seen someone like you in Shangguan Shuaishuai. ”

The night was as quiet as ever, Zhang Tao ignored him, and Shangguan Shuai Shuai had to shut up and stop talking.

The night passed in silence.

When Dongfang had just turned a little white, Zhang Tao was already ready to hit the road.

Time is pressing, he doesn't know when the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion will make a move on the family, his strength will increase a little, and the chance of winning when facing the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion in the future will be a little greater.

When Zhang Tao left, there was no Shangguan Shuaishuai, and he didn't know when he left.

Zhang Tao still planned to enter the flood wilderness from the border city this time, after all, he was more familiar with it.

After many days of driving, on this day, Zhang Tao finally saw the shadow of the border city.

This is the third time he has come to the border city.

The first time was from the family, and because of curiosity, I entered the flood from here.

The second time was to break through to the Great Martial Master, and in order to test his strength, he entered the Flood Wilderness from here again.

And this time he entered the flood wilderness to improve his cultivation.

Walking in the border city, Zhang Tao once again felt the atmosphere here.

Zhang Tao greedily breathed the air of the border city.

"What a wonderful taste. ”

The border city is one of the closest cities in the Great Chu Kingdom to the flood wilderness, and there are countless warriors who come and go here every day.

Moreover, it is the Imperial Beast Pavilion that controls this city, and unlike the city controlled by the imperial court, the atmosphere here is even more tense.

The warriors who came and went were all in a hurry, some had just come out of the flood wilderness, and some were about to enter the flood wilderness.

The flood is both hell and heaven for warriors.

There are countless wild beasts there, and their lives are in danger at any time.

In the same way, there are countless precious medicinal herbs there, and there are crystal nuclei of desolate beasts.

Over the course of a day, Zhang Tao bought some necessities.

Food is essential.

Fortunately, he has a vow. Don't worry about storage.

After staying in the border city for one night, Zhang Tao entered the flood early the next morning.

Since Shangguan Shuai Shuai left, the sword spirit has not noticed that he is following.

Zhang Tao is very satisfied with this.

This time when he entered the flood wilderness, Zhang Tao did not accept the mercenary mission.

The purpose of entering the flood famine this time is to improve his cultivation, if he accepts the mercenary task, he will inevitably have to walk with others, for the convenience of action, Zhang Tao still gave up the task.

After walking for a while, Zhang Tao finally set foot on the desolate land again.

Every time you come to Honghuang, you will have a different feeling.

Zhang Tao didn't waste time in the outer area of the Flood Desolation, all the people living here were some second- and third-order low-level desolate beasts, which was not challenging for Zhang Tao at all.

With Zhang Tao's current cultivation, even if he encountered a fourth-order desolate beast, he could easily solve it.

The fifth-order desolate beast is still a bit more challenging.

If you want to quickly improve your cultivation, you have to hunt the fifth-order desolate beast and then absorb the energy in its crystal nucleus.

This is the only way Zhang Tao can think of so far.

Although the energy in the crystal nucleus of the desolate beast is not pure, and it is not easy to absorb, it is still faster than absorbing it from heaven and earth.

Zhang Tao's Five Elements physique determined that it was impossible for him to quickly obtain energy from heaven and earth, and then make a breakthrough.

Generally speaking, absorbing the energy in the desolate beast crystal nucleus can indeed quickly improve cultivation, but not many people can use this method.

First, the energy in the crystal nucleus of the desolate beast is not absolutely pure, and it is more troublesome to remove impurities when absorbing, although the speed has improved a lot, but the efficiency is not much faster than absorbing energy from heaven and earth.

Second, is the Desolate Beast Crystal Nucleus so easy to obtain?

Buy crystal nuclei from the market and absorb the energy in them to improve your cultivation. It's not that such a thing can't be done, but it needs to be supported by huge funds.

The price of crystal nuclei is very expensive, especially the crystal nuclei of mid-to-high-level desolate beasts.

Even if you can hunt the desolate beast by yourself, you must know that under the swordsman, the warrior of the same level is not as good as the desolate beast.

Therefore, in general, warriors will choose to hunt desolate beasts that are lower than their own level.

In this way, the speed of hunting desolate beasts has increased, but after the hunting, because of the level, it takes a huge amount of energy to absorb it, and it is a difficult problem to make up for this amount.

Furthermore, the attributes of the hunted beasts are not necessarily the same as their own attributes.

Therefore, after the average warrior has hunted the desolate beast, most of them will choose to sell the crystal nucleus.

Use the money to buy some pills or medicinal herbs that will help you in your cultivation.

The main use of crystal nuclei is for alchemy.

Zhang Tao is different.

He belongs to the Five Elements Physique, and he can absorb it except for the crystal nuclei of those miscellaneous desolate beasts.

It's much more flexible when it comes to hunting wild beasts.

And with the existence of a sword spirit, he absorbs the energy of the crystal nucleus in a different way.

As long as the sword spirit wants to input all the energy in the crystal nucleus into his body at one time, and use the dantian to slowly refine it.

This is much faster than absorbing energy from the crystal nucleus bit by bit.

Of course, this method can only be done by Zhang Tao, who has a sword spirit.

There is also the fact that Zhang Tao can hunt wild beasts beyond the level.

In this way, what Zhang Tao needs to worry about is not that the crystal nucleus energy is not enough, but whether he can absorb it.

One more thing, Zhang Tao is not short of money, let alone elixir, money is a number for him, and what kind of elixir is needed, you can refine it yourself.
