Volume I

Chapter 36

Temporarily solving the crisis in front of him, Jiang Hao did not stop, but looked left and right, found a safe place, and sat down breathlessly.

After his breath stabilized, Jiang Hao's dark eyes finally showed a strange look.

Cultivation was still the third layer of spiritual void, but he recalled that in the process of fighting with the vine demon, his whole body had entered a state of waiting for an opportunity, the blood flow rate accelerated, his thinking became clear, and his actions were far beyond usual.

This is a sign that the body has entered the inner strength, but it only activates the vitality rolling in the body at the moment of battle, and then makes himself temporarily experience the taste of inner strength.

And after the battle ended, this state also faded like a tide, even if Jiang Hao wanted to keep it, he couldn't keep it.

But now Jiang Hao knows the feeling of being strong, at least he didn't know anything about it before, but now he has a specific reference.

He finally understood why the transition from Pei Yuan to Nei Zhuang was a sign of the leap from the early stage to the middle stage of the Spirit Void, just like boiling a pot of cold spring, steaming, as long as the fire under it continued, the hot water in the pot would always be able to maintain the temperature.

Theoretically, as long as the vitality is not cut off, then after entering the realm of inner strength, you can instantly enter this state.

The tingling sensation in his body after leaving the battle gradually subsided, and Jiang Hao sat cross-legged and breathed the vitality in his body.

Through internal vision, he could perceive that after the short battle just now, a wisp of strange power had penetrated into his body, although the improvement was not obvious, Jiang Hao could clearly feel that the shackles of his cultivation had faintly loosened.

This made him secretly excited in his heart, at this speed, he would be able to break through this bottleneck in a few days and enter the inner strong realm!

After resting for a while, Jiang Hao felt that his spirit was restored, so he immediately stood up and looked around.

He couldn't look carefully in his hurry, but now that he was out of danger for the time being, he finally had a little free time.

The Surabaya Sword Valley is beautiful, the east and west sides of the valley are towering cliffs, and although the sky is blue overhead, Jiang Hao can be sure that there must be a prohibition on the cliff to isolate the Sword Valley from the outside world.

In the Sword Valley, the streams are horizontal, the grass and trees are shady, and the scenery is pleasant, but there are many shadows in the meantime, and there are imperceptible crises lurking.

Not far away, 100 meters away, there is a wide river with crystal clear water, in which fish and shrimp can be seen roaming with the naked eye.

Jiang Hao came to the river and took some water to drink, feeling that the water here is not only sweet and delicious, but also contains a lot of spiritual energy, which is very comfortable.

He walked all the way up the river, and far away he could see a waterfall, the high cliff of the waterfall was almost ten feet high, and the white water of the river flowed straight down from the top of the waterfall, splashing a huge splash in the deep pool below, which was quite spectacular.

The periphery of the deep pool was full of dense shrubs, Jiang Hao did not go deep, but hid in the grass on the edge of Tan, after all, this place is full of dangers, and it is definitely not the best strategy to show up easily.

Except for the roar of the waterfall pouring down, this place is unusually quiet, and there are no birds, insects and fish, which is very strange.

However, Jiang Hao could sense that the aura in this place was very rich, almost the same as in the Spirit Beast Sect, and the source of these rich aura - Jiang Hao felt the flow of the aura, so he set his eyes on the waterfall.

That's right, the water of this waterfall is permeated with an extremely rich aura, and a huge amount of aura is poured into the deep pool with the waterfall, and then permeates the surrounding void.

And the aura in this dark deep pool below is faint, as if there is something murderous hidden.

"This waterfall is weird!" Jiang Hao's eyes flashed, and with his keen vision, he could vaguely see that there was a shadow behind the curtain of the waterfall.

"It should be a cave-like place!" Jiang Hao's heart suddenly became lively when he saw this, but it was a pity that the cave was still behind the waterfall, and if he wanted to go in, he was afraid that he would have to swim through the pool.

The pool is bottomless, and he doesn't know what kind of danger is waiting, Jiang Hao hesitated for a while, and before he could make a decision, he suddenly heard a strange sound.

"Gurgling ......"

The sound was in the deep pool, Jiang Hao raised his eyes, and saw a small bubble suddenly floating in the middle of the pool.

When Jiang Hao was puzzled in his heart, the bubble suddenly began to grow larger, and when its size covered about one-third of the water surface, a strong sense of crisis suddenly made Jiang Hao's cold hair stand on end!

"Puff puff—"

When it was too late, three sharp flying needles stabbed out from the water like arrows off the string, and rushed towards the grass where Jiang Hao was hiding!

"Not good!" Jiang Hao secretly snorted, and immediately flew away to dodge, and the three flying needle-like spikes instantly nailed down on a big tree behind Jiang Hao.

"Whoa—"

I saw a burning sound coming from the big tree, and I saw that the place where the flying needle pierced turned into a purple-black color at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the strange purple spread rapidly, covering the whole body of the big tree!

Jiang Hao's complexion changed suddenly, and the branches and leaves of the big tree were also dyed purple in just a few breaths, and the originally verdant leaves suddenly drooped down and lost their vitality!

These three spikes are highly poisonous to see blood seal the throat!

At the same time, the bubbles on the deep pool exploded, Jiang Hao's pupils contracted, and he saw that the water suddenly bulged under the surface, showing a strange arc, as if a pustule had suddenly grown.

"Bang!" followed by a crisp popping sound, and a swollen black shadow emerged from the water!

"What kind of monster is this?!" Jiang Hao looked at it and couldn't help but show a solemn look.

The appearance of the black shadow turned out to be a huge stone mill-like hedgehog, but this hedgehog dolphin was still covered with strange purple scales, and its fins were like the limbs of a wild beast, which could be used for walking!

What's more, this puffer fish is not bulky and bulky like ordinary puffer fish, but has an unusually strong sense of strength all over its body.

"Whew!" the dolphin let out a roar similar to that of a lion tiger, shaking off the water droplets, and swam quickly from the surface of the river to the shore.

Immediately, Jiang Hao saw that it easily landed on the shore with its bulky limbs, and a pair of eyes the size of copper bells stared at Su Yi viciously!

"This is a first-order mid-level top demon beast, called Tiger Dolphin, and its strength is probably equivalent to that of a human monk at the sixth level of the Spirit Void, but because of its low spiritual intelligence, it cannot use demon magic. In Jiang Hao's mind, the voice of the system came.

"Spirit Void Sixth Layer!" Jiang Hao's expression couldn't help but be a little tricky, although this demon beast couldn't cast demon spells, but the flying needle-like spike that it attacked Jiang Hao just now was a very dangerous means, if it was accidentally stabbed, I am afraid that it would die immediately!

"Puff puff!" Before Jiang Hao could think of countermeasures, the body of the thorn dolphin bulged, and more than a dozen spikes suddenly burst out from the surface of the body, shrouding Su Yi!

Jiang Hao's pupils shrank, and he suddenly flew out like a frightened bird, and more than ten flying needles covered the place where he had just stood dangerously, and a touch of seeping purple spread.

"Shhhh

"Puff puff—"

Jiang Hao's brows tightened, and he hurriedly dodged the tiger dolphin's attack, while his mind was racing, constantly thinking about how to get out.

This tiger dolphin is covered in spikes, if you fight with it in close quarters, one of them is accidentally shot into a hedgehog, I'm afraid I don't know how to die!

And while Jiang Hao was trying his best to dodge, he had a keen insight into an unusual situation.

Although the tiger dolphin attacked fiercely, there were hundreds of tiny holes all over its body, and the highly poisonous flying needles that could kill people in an instant were shot out of the holes, but Jiang Hao was shocked to find that after these flying needles were shot, the corresponding small holes on the tiger dolphin's body were closed, and no more spikes grew!

"Could it be that these spikes can't be replenished after being shot once in a short period of time?" Jiang Hao couldn't help but show a thoughtful look, and suddenly had a plan in his heart.

It's tricky to deal with when you're covered in thorns, but when the spikes on your body are gone, I'll see if you're as fierce as you are now.

......

In the cave.

"This 'Tiger Dolphin' is the weakest of the aquatic demon beasts in the Sword Valley of Surabaya, and its weakness is also the most obvious. Mo Huaiming stared at the mirror intently and said lightly.

"Only in that deep pool can the tiger dolphin have the ability to regenerate the stinger, and this time it rushed ashore, it should have sensed that Jiang Hao's strength was weak and could not pose a threat. Zhou Chunfeng stroked his beard and chuckled.

Shan Qianqiu didn't pay attention to the words of the two, just stared at the agile figure in the mirror, and there was an inexplicable look in his eyes.

......

"The characteristic of the tiger dolphin is that the spikes on its body are highly poisonous, which can cut off vitality, even if a cultivator is poisoned by this poison, he will die tragically due to blood clotting in an instant. The voice of the system surrounded Jiang Hao's ears, "But its weakness is also very obvious, that is, its stinger can only be reborn in the water with a strong aura, so generally speaking, as long as it is still in the water, then it can definitely be invincible in the same rank." ”

"I see. The system's words confirmed Jiang Hao's guess even more, and he showed a knowing smile.

Although this stupid water demon is stronger than himself, he climbed ashore by himself, and he simply pushed himself into the fire pit!

Jiang Hao dodged quietly while retreating, and the tiger dolphin saw that the blow was missed, and the copper bell's big eyes straightened, and he moved awkwardly towards Jiang Hao.

So there was a funny scene, the tiger dolphin shot a stinger, Jiang Hao retreated and dodged, the tiger dolphin crawled forward angrily, although the clumsy fins could walk, but it was quite difficult.

After several rounds of back and forth, the tiger dolphin was already several feet away from the pool, unaware of the impending danger.

The tiger dolphin shot more than ten times in a row, and the stinger didn't even touch the corner of Jiang Hao's clothes, and the small holes in his body had all been closed, and only then did Jiang Hao show a weird smile.

"You're killing yourself!"

The result is obvious, without the hole card that he is most proud of, the tiger dolphin is low, but it finally realizes that the situation is not good.

The tiger dolphin, which was like a tiger with wings in the water, became a soft-footed shrimp when it reached the shore, and began to struggle to crawl back, but it had just moved several feet away, and it couldn't return to the pool for a while!

Originally, if it didn't care about Jiang Hao in the pool, it would naturally not have to worry about its life, but unfortunately, how could it think of this?

Watching the tiger dolphin push himself into a desperate situation little by little according to the situation he had designed, Jiang Hao showed a smug smile on his face.

Immediately, his smile retracted, and his tense body suddenly flew out like an eagle falcon, and at the same time, the flying sword was unsheathed!

"Poof—"

As the blade easily pierced the tiger porpoise's scale armor, its fragile defense was like paper paste in front of the spirit weapon flying sword, and the tiger dolphin let out a terrible scream.

"Whew!!"

I saw that its millstone-sized body suddenly shriveled up and shrunk like a rattan ball that had leaked air, and it shrank nine-tenths of a sudden in a few breaths!

"Whew!" Before dying, the tiger dolphin let out a remorseful roar, and then completely stopped moving.

"Congratulations to the host for killing a first-order intermediate demon beast and getting a reward of 100 spirit points!" a crisp and pleasant voice came from the system.

"100 points?" Jiang Hao was stunned, "It's not 1000 points, right?"

But then he realized a little, after all, he didn't rely on a head-to-head battle to kill this stupid river demon, but waited for the opportunity to move, and easily won with only one sword!

According to the rules judged by the system, it is normal for only a part of the rewards to be awarded.

Feeling that passively defending against the attacks of other demon beasts could not have the effect of tempering his cultivation, Jiang Hao immediately put away his sword and walked deeper into the Sword Valley.
