The mountain breeze blows, whirring, bringing a burst of coolness.
The grass swayed in the wind, like undulating waves, and went away, but the red spotted leopard still did not move at all, and Chen Zong seemed to have become a statue, only his hair and clothes fluttered in the wind.
Breath after breath, Chen Zong became more and more calm, and the whole person directly entered an indescribable state, as if the whole world was only left with himself and the red-spotted leopard in front of him, and everything else disappeared.
The figure of the red spotted leopard seemed to be constantly enlarged in front of him, filling Chen Zong's eyes.
Facing a demon beast for the first time, even if it is a first-grade demon beast equivalent to the fourth layer of the Qi and Blood Realm, Chen Zong does not dare to have the slightest contempt, this is not a competition, but a battle of life and death, and the slightest carelessness is a dead end.
The red-spotted leopard moved, as if it turned into a bolt of lightning, and flew a few meters away, raising its claws to tear the air, and grabbing Chen Zong with ferocity and ferocity.
It sensed danger from the human in front of it, and also felt the temptation, the temptation of qi and blood, eating the other party, it would definitely make itself more powerful.
The tips of the sharp claws glowed with cold light, sharp to the extreme, as if a meteor from outside the sky was directly attacking, as if it was about to pierce Chen Zong's eyes, and the terrible chill made his qi and blood sluggish slightly.
"It's so fast!" Chen Zong was surprised, this speed was faster than any Qi and Blood Realm fourth layer he had ever fought against.
The fierce tiger carried it, and the momentum of the tiger suddenly burst out from the body, and at the same time, a tiger roar seemed to sound, which made the red-spotted leopard slightly startled, mistakenly thinking that the human in front of him had become a tiger demon beast.
As soon as the power of the fifth layer of Qi and Blood Realm was used, Chen Zong's arm strength was immediately increased by two thousand catties, reaching an astonishing three thousand catties.
It's not just the strength that's being enhanced, it's the speed.
His right hand instantly clasped the hilt of the sword, and the sword was drawn out of its sheath, like lightning sweeping through the sky, and the light was like the waning moon.
Draw the sword!
A sword is like a waning moon in the sky, fast to the extreme, cutting the air in front of it, the speed of the sword, is much better than the red spotted leopard, and the grasp of the timing is the best.
Once again, the Iron Sword proved its sharpness.
Chen Zong only felt that the sword body had cut something, and a strange sound sounded, and in front of him, there was a burst of scarlet splashing, and a figure fell.
There was a thud and dust was flying.
Blood dripped from the sword's body, and with a slight shake, all the blood on the sword's body was thrown off, and Chen Zong's gaze also fell on the red-spotted leopard in front of him.
A huge cut was made in the neck, almost completely severed, such a serious injury, but the red spotted leopard was not completely dead, its body was still twitching and struggling, and it seemed that it wanted to get up.
"It's amazing vitality. Chen Zong couldn't help but secretly say, and a wave of excitement also emerged from the depths of his heart.
Under the wound of the red leopard, a pool of scarlet was shocking, and the smell of fishy smell was very choking, and not far away, drops of scarlet blood fell on the sand and gravel ground like a bead curtain.
looked at the corpse of the red leopard, and then looked at the sword in his hand, not only did he not feel uncomfortable, but he gave birth to a feeling, as if the sword in his hand, and only then did he really strike.
"At first, I thought that after the sword was polished, it would be a sharp edge, but now I know that it is not a real open edge. Muttering to himself, Chen Zong's expression was a little trance-like: "Only by seeing blood can you really open the edge." ”
"The sword itself is a weapon of killing, sharp, straight, tough, and bloodless sword, no matter how good it is, it is just an ornament. ”
The feeling of sudden enlightenment made Chen Zong seem to grasp something, but he didn't seem to grasp anything.
"Don't hurry, don't worry, since this feeling has already appeared, sooner or later, it will be caught by me. ”
said secretly, grabbed the hind legs of the red spotted leopard, weighed hundreds of catties, and walked back to the small courtyard of the stronghold.
"Brother Chen Chong, today we have demon beast meat to eat. Chen Zong said with a smile.
"What a big leopard, this is ...... Red spotted leopard, kill with one sword, the clan brother is good at swordsmanship. When Chen Chong heard this, his eyes fell on the corpse of the red spotted leopard, and he was suddenly startled, and then exclaimed: "It seems that the strength of the clan brother is enough to sweep the vast majority of the fourth layer of the Qi and Blood Realm. ”
Chen Chong didn't know that Chen Zong's current cultivation was already at the fifth level of the Qi and Blood Realm.
The two began to divide the labor, bringing clean water from a nearby stream, peeling and washing, removing the useless parts, separating the flesh and bones, setting up two large cast iron pots, and then opening the skin to dry, cutting the meat into pieces and throwing them into a large cast iron pot, putting in some dried herbs of less than ten minutes, and stewing them over high heat.
The bones are thrown into a large iron pot and put in an appropriate amount of water to prepare for boiling into bone glue.
The flesh and blood of the warrior is a great supplement for the demon beast, and in turn, the flesh and blood of the demon beast is also a great supplement for the warrior, and the best way to eat it is to eat it raw, but whether it is Chen Zong or Chen Chong, there is no such habit, and it is better to eat it when it is stewed.
This stew is two hours before the aroma wafts out, but it is not enough, change the heat to medium heat and simmer for another two hours, and then change to low heat and simmer for an hour.
In addition to adjusting the flames, the two of them practiced separately.
"It's so fragrant, what are you cooking?" asked Chen Waixiu as he walked over and sniffed.
"What's your business. Chen Zhong said coldly.
"Oh, that's ...... The skin of the red spotted leopard, could it be that the inside of the pot is the meat of the red spotted leopard?" Chen Waixiu's eyes lit up.
In the clan hall, it is natural that you can also eat the flesh and bones of demon beasts, but it takes some time to send them from the mountains to the clan hall, and the freshness will inevitably decrease, and besides, the number is limited.
". Chen Chong was very disgusted with Chen Waixiu and immediately drove him away, and Chen Zong had no good impression of this person.
"I said you two, it's too boring, a red spotted leopard is so big, you two can't eat it all, not to mention that as a member of the same clan, give me a little, shouldn't it be?" Chen Waixiu was very thick-skinned, and he quickly approached the cast iron pot, and was about to lift the lid, when a sharp cold light bloomed in front of him, and the edge was pressing, and the cold made him numb, so he hurriedly retreated.
Chen Zong...... What do you mean by this, do you want to kill me just because of a little beast meat......" Chen Waixiu's voice was fierce.
"Shame on you. Chen Zhong said disdainfully: "If you want to eat demon beast meat, hunt it yourself." ”
"Isn't it just a little monster meat, it's not rare for me to give it to me. Chen Waixiu was annoyed and ashamed, and when he pretended to turn around, he suddenly kicked out, kicked a stone up, and hit the cast iron pot like a meteor, intending to knock the cast iron pot over.
Since you don't have to eat it, let them not eat it either.
"You ......" Chen Chong didn't have time to react.
The sword light flashed, and the stone was shattered, turning into fine particles, and part of it was reflected towards Chen Waixiu, hitting him in pain.
"Chen Waixiu, you really owe a beating. Chen was furious, rushed over, and threw a punch, and Chen Waixiu ran away.
"It's not just a demon beast, you can also hunt it. Chen Waixiu shouted as he ran.
"One villain. Chen Zhong did not chase after him, but said disdainfully.
"Leave him alone, it's almost ready, let's eat, brother. Chen Zong said with a smile, and didn't take Chen Waixiu to heart.
When the lid was lifted, an indescribable fragrance penetrated into the nostrils, making their mouths water.
There is hardly much oil on the thick soup, and the large pieces of demon beast meat are floating and very tempting, and as for the other cast iron pot, it is still boiling, and all the essence in the bones must be boiled out and solidified into glue.
Two people eat.
kicked off the unnecessary parts and bones, and the remaining meat was more than 100 catties, enough for two people to eat for two or three days.
After that, the two of them took turns patrolling around.
Chen Zong's footprints are getting farther and farther, and the probability of encountering demon beasts is also increasing, after seeing blood in the first battle, and then encountering demon beasts, even if it is a first-class and medium-grade demon beast, Chen Zong does not have the slightest sense of tension, and can exert his strength and fight with it.
However, the first-level mid-grade demon beast is equivalent to a fifth-layer martial artist in the Qi and Blood Realm, but it is more powerful than an ordinary fifth-layer martial artist in the Qi and Blood Realm, the first time, Chen Zong tried his best to kill it, and he was also a little injured, mainly because he lacked experience in life-and-death fighting with demon beasts.
As the battle of life and death with the demon beast increased, Chen Zong felt that the sword in his hand seemed to become sharper and sharper.
He knew very well that it was just a feeling, the sword was still the same as it was, and it had not changed in the slightest, what had changed was his mentality and will.
It has been a month since he came here, during which there were eight first-grade low-grade demon beasts killed by Chen Zong, and three first-grade middle-grade demon beasts, and now he is no longer the rookie he was at the beginning.
"I feel as if I'm about to grasp the subtleties of the True Sword Eight Style. Chen Zong said as he walked out and continued his patrol.
The life-and-death battles with demon beasts again and again have made him grow in all aspects.
Go deeper.
Suddenly, Chen Zong was locked by a terrifying momentum, and he shuddered.
"It's terrifying. ”
"This kind of momentum is definitely better than a first-grade mid-grade demon beast, could it be a first-grade high-grade demon beast?"
If it's a first-class high-grade demon beast, then I don't know whether to say it's good luck or bad luck.
The more powerful demon beasts near the ore vein are either killed or driven away, and the most are the first-grade and low-grade demon beasts, and sometimes they will encounter first-level and medium-grade demon beasts, as for the first-level and high-grade demon beasts, there are very few.
The scalp-numbing sound followed, as if it sounded from the depths of his throat, and like a muffled thunder, rushing into Chen Zong's ears in bursts.
Chen Zong's eyes were condensed, and he stared at the direction where the voice came from, only to see a figure slowly pacing out from behind a big tree hugged by two people.
It doesn't look tall, not counting the tail is about 1.8 meters long, the height is less than 1 meter, the whole body is blue, the hair is soft and smooth, fluttering in the wind, and it looks very strong and vigorous.
The green eyes that seemed to be able to shine with light were cold, murderous and cunning, stared at, Chen Zong instinctively felt uncomfortable, and the fangs that were exposed were even more flickering and terrifying.
Its back was slightly arched, like a bulge of the vertebrae, like steel poured.
It's a wolf, a big green wolf.
"Iron-backed green wolf...... First-grade high-grade demon beast ......" Chen Zong said in a low voice, taking a deep breath, the second weight of the Fierce Tiger Skill was carried, the power of qi and blood accelerated, and the strength of his body surged, and the momentum like a tiger beast diffused out from his body, as if there was a tiger roar.
