Chapter 8: The Lake of Demonic Blood
In the endless darkness, Lei Xiu had a dream for a long time, this dream was very real but extremely mysterious, because he dreamed that he had turned into a dragon, a dragon covered with dark blue scales, infinitely powerful, and harnessing the frost.
The rest of the dream is very vague, only the battle scene is extremely clear, the dragon starts from weak, has experienced battle after battle, the opponent in these scenes Lei Xiu has never heard of, there is a golden ape comparable to a mountain, there is a giant with dark blue skin, controlling thunder and lightning, and there is a golden-winged roc that covers the sky and the sun, and the fierce and surprising golden-winged roc.
These opponents are stronger than one another, especially in the final battle.
It was on a vast continent, where the Frost Dragon battled hundreds of crippled horned, dark-skinned demons who were enormous, swirled in black and red flames, and who fought as if they teleported.
But the Frost Dragon also showed infinite power, and when its wings waved, the dark blue light burst out, and whenever a demon was hit, it was frozen into ice cubes, and then shattered into ice slag, and a huge roar like thunder rang out, and the demons that got closer were roared and bled out, and fell from the air, its limbs, tail, and almost all its body became weapons that could be attacked.
Eventually, the dragon flew into the air, spreading its wings and bursting with a boundless blue glow, like an ice-blue sun, and everywhere it went, all the demons froze into ice cubes, and then burst into ice chips.
The picture froze, and Lei Xiu finally opened his eyes.
A big black eye was looking nervously at him, and then, Lei Xiu saw the crimson fur of the little squirrel.
"Thankfully, it looks like I'm not dead yet. After saying this in a weak voice, Lei Xiu laughed, although he didn't know how he was saved, but the feeling of being alive was really good!
After sighing, Lei Xiu began to check himself, although his body was still a little stiff, but his strength was constantly recovering, and it seemed that it would not be long before he could regain his mobility.
At the same time, Lei Xiu was also surprised to find that his senses had become extremely sensitive, and the entire world, including every grass and tree, was much clearer, not only the colors were rich, but even many subtle situations that he usually ignored had changed greatly.
The wind blowing on his body became like his mother's gentle hands, and the ground below him had an incomparably heavy sense of solidity, and even the watery air he breathed gave him a sense of affinity.
Everything in heaven and earth, whether it is stone or grass or trees, seems to have a connection with him, and he has become one of them, inseparable from each other.
"Congratulations, there is a saying in human beings that if you don't die in a great disaster, you will have a blessing in the future, since you are not dead, it is time to enjoy this blessing. ”
Just when Lei Xiu was still immersed in the feeling of being in harmony with nature, a low and hoarse sound, like two wooden planks rubbing against each other, suddenly sounded in his ears.
Startled, Lei Xiu turned his head with difficulty to look at the source of the voice, and saw a tall green cypress standing tall not far away, but what frightened him the most was that an old face appeared on the body of the giant tree, and at the eyes of the face, there were two cyan flames emitting a bright ghostly light.
"This, what is this!"
A very humane sigh, the face on the giant tree complained, "Hey, the current human beings are really getting more and more rude, no matter what I said, I saved you, you actually call me something?"
Trying to calm down his shocked feelings, Lei Xiu reluctantly showed a smile and said, "Tree, Mr. Tree, did you save me?" Thank you so much, I'm sorry, I've just never seen a talking tree, and I lost my temper in front of you just now." ”
After the old tree man heard Lei Xiu's words, the tree seemed to smile a little, but this smile looked so weird in Lei Xiu's eyes.
"It's okay, you can recover from the shock so quickly, at least your guts are good, little friend, you are also considered fateful, although the lake water of the Demon Blood Lake can greatly improve the spiritual power of creatures, but all creatures are absorbed drop by drop, otherwise they will be frozen to death directly by the lake, you are good, you actually ran into the bath inside, when the Red Shadow found me and asked me to save you, I didn't have much hope, who knew that you could stay in the lake for two hours without dying, it was incredible. ”
"What? two hours?" Hearing this, Lei Xiu then temporarily suppressed his surprise, touched his head embarrassedly and said, "Mr. Shu, I'm sorry, I'm too impatient." After speaking, Lei Xiu looked at the little squirrel sitting on his chest and said gratefully, "Thank you, your name is Red Shadow?"
After hearing Lei Xiu shout his name, the little squirrel jumped happily, and his cute little head nodded in acknowledgement.
"Red Shadow is an ordinary squirrel on my body, because it drank the water of the Demon Blood Lake, so its intelligence has been greatly improved, its IQ is probably the same as that of your human children about six years old, but it is not a magical beast, except that it has a certain amount of intelligence, it is no different from ordinary squirrels. ”
Hearing the words of the old tree man, Lei Xiu suddenly realized, no wonder he always felt that the red shadow was so spiritual, it turned out that it was because of the water of the Demon Blood Lake.
Then the old tree man continued, "Originally, because of my protection, no creature in the Demon Blood Lake could drink without my permission, but since it was brought to you by Red Shadow, even if it was your creation, and when I rescued you just now, I found that your spiritual power was not active in the slightest, you should be the Heavenly Forsaken among the human race, right?"
Not embarrassed by the other party's saying that he was a Heavenly Forsaken, Lei Xiu said in a calm tone, "Yes, Mr. Tree, I am indeed a Heavenly Forsaken. ”
"Well, that's strange, since you're not a Demon Fighter, how can you stay in the lake for so long? But even the top Demon Fighter among you humans will die when you enter the water, unless you reach the Holy Rank, strange, strange. ”
Faced with the old treeman's question, Lei Xiu did not answer, he had promised Roger that he would never reveal his cultivation of the Demon Thunder Battle Dao to anyone, and the Mr. Tree in front of him could be regarded as a human being.
After a moment of silence, the old tree man continued, "You are a blessing in disguise this time, little friend, because of the long immersion in the water of the Demon Blood Lake, your spiritual power has finally become active, and you can have a connection with the natural elements in the future, that is, you can become a Demon Fighter." ”
Hearing this, Lei Xiu was stunned for a moment, and an indescribable feeling rose in Lei Xiu's heart, once upon a time, he cried bitterly because of his identity as a Heavenly Forsaken, but now, although his spiritual power has been activated, it is no longer a big deal for him.
"Thank you, Mr. Tree, for good news. ”
The old treeman's cyan flame eyes burned brightly, which startled Lei Xiu, and then the old treeman spoke, "You are really a strange human, aren't ordinary humans surprised when they know this news, why are you so calm? Well, let me think about it, when I'm older, I can't remember a lot of things. ”
Looking at the old tree man who was deep in thought, Lei Xiu sat up with great difficulty, although his limbs were still a little numb, and his strength had not fully recovered, but it was no big problem to do some simple movements.
"Oh, I remembered. Suddenly, the old tree man let out a sigh, and then continued, "You are following the path of an ancient qi practitioner, cultivating internal qi through a special breathing method, and then condensing the golden pill to become a god, I didn't expect that the inheritance of the qi practitioner still exists in this era." ”
Looking at the old tree man with a face full of surprise, although Lei Xiu didn't understand most of the words, he understood it through the cultivation of internal qi through special breathing, this is indeed a special cultivation method of the Demon Thunder Battle Dao.
Curiosity was raised infinitely, and Lei Xiu asked, "Mr. Tree, what are you talking about an ancient qi practitioner?"
The cyan flame flickered twice as if in the blink of an eye, and the old tree man spoke, "Ancient Qi Cultivators are extremely powerful human beings, and they possess great power through special cultivation methods. ”
"A long, long time ago, there was a group of Qi practitioners from the Deep Blue Continent, and they left after leaving their inheritance, but their inheritance is very strange, they don't pay much attention to the root bone and spiritual power, but they attach great importance to a qualification called the spiritual root, because this qualification is extremely rare, and it is completely different from the traditional cultivation method of the Deep Blue Continent, so in the end, there are fewer and fewer Qi practitioners, and it will be lost over time. ”
The things that the old tree man said Roger had never said to Lei Xiu, which also aroused his strong desire for knowledge, so he then asked, "Mr. Tree, who is more powerful than these Qi Cultivators and the Holy Rank?"
"Haha, Holy Rank, compared to the Ancient Qi Cultivator, the Holy Rank is like the bright moon and candlelight, there is no comparison, there is no comparison. ”
The surprise in his heart appeared on his face unreservedly, and Lei Xiu said in surprise, "Qi practitioners are so powerful, then, aren't they invincible, and who else can compete with them?"
The old tree man smiled lightly, "Hehe, little friend, you don't understand, the world you see is far from as big as you imagined, the Deep Blue Continent is just one of the countless small worlds in the universe, you think the Holy Rank is very terrifying, very powerful, but in other worlds outside the Deep Blue Continent, there are many races that are born in the Holy Order, and these races are not the top." ”
"Once you were born at the Holy Order, how is this possible?" Lei Xiu's eyes widened, and his first reaction after hearing the words of the old tree man was impossible, how could someone be born at the Holy Order, this is also incredible.
The old tree man continued to explain, "Let's not talk about the far away, let's take the royal family "Tyrant" and "Flame Sparrow" among the demonic beasts on the Deep Blue Continent, their descendants are born at the level of your human beings who are in the rank of the Demon Fighter, and when they reach adulthood, they can match your Gold Rank Demon Fighter, and the chance of becoming a Saint Rank is much greater than that of humans, if it weren't for the fact that their fertility is too weak, the master of this continent would not be you humans a long time ago." ”
"As soon as he was born, he was a high-grade demon fighter, and when he became an adult, he was a gold-grade ......" After hearing the words of the old treeman, Lei Xiu was silent, originally he was very confident, he was taught by Roger at a young age, and now he has begun to cultivate the top mastery of the Demon Thunder Battle Dao, which makes him almost think that he is unique, but compared to these top demonic beasts, his efforts and adventures seem to be completely useless.
Seeing the frustration in Lei Xiu's heart, the old tree man didn't know what he was thinking, so he actually added another fire," When I rescued you, I probed your body, you have a good cultivation at a young age, although you were a heavenly forsaken before, but your body is very powerful, and it also contains a thunderbolt-like domineering power, but your qualifications are not the best in terms of human beings, some of you human beings are born with strong roots and spiritual power, they are born with a certain or several natural elements are extremely affinity, and cultivation is twice the result with half the effort, these people are collectively called holy bodies, their cultivation for one year is almost equal to ten years of cultivation for ordinary people, this gap is difficult to make up。 ”
Shocked again, Lei Xiu realized that the qualifications and strength he was proud of before were so worthless, he was indeed a little proud and complacent before, although he was a Heavenly Forsaken, but he entered the realm extremely quickly after cultivating the Demon Thunder Battle Dao, even Roger said that he had excellent qualifications, even if he had suffered from Dosley's momentum oppression, he couldn't move, and his life was not in his own hands, but that was also because Dosley was much older than him, Lei Xiu believed that if he was given a few more years, he would be much stronger than Dosley.
But after hearing the words of the old tree man, Lei Xiu finally had the enlightenment that there was someone outside the world, and there was a heaven outside the sky, which made him see himself clearly.
After the intense frustration, Lei Xiu's indomitable belief finally ignited again, what happened to the Demon Beast Emperor, what happened to the Holy Body, he also has his own opportunities and paths, and he doesn't believe that his qualifications will be so different from those people, even if there is a gap, as long as he works harder, he will definitely not be weaker than them!
After thinking of this, Lei Xiu, who had regained some physical strength, reluctantly stood up, bowed deeply to the old treeman, and said solemnly, "Mr. Tree, thank you for telling me so many things today that I didn't know before, I thought I was already very powerful, and even felt that I was a unique genius in the world, but now I understand, thank you!"
A smile appeared on the old treeman's face again, and a hoarse voice sounded, "Very good, very good, I thought that what I said would at least hit you hard, who knew that you would understand it so quickly, little friend, you remember, no one is born the strongest, as long as there is unyielding faith and continuous efforts, any creature has the possibility of creating miracles, you go, I hope that after you become strong, we will have a chance to meet again." ”
Nodding heavily, Lei Xiu said in a deep voice, "It will definitely be, Mr. Tree!"
Just after Lei Xiu's solemn promise was finished, one of the trunks of the old tree man suddenly stretched out slowly, and there were three palm-sized green bottles on the trunk.
"You once saved the Red Shadow, although I also saved you this time, but your distress was also caused by the Red Shadow, so these three bottles of Demon Blood Lake Water will be used as compensation for you, you have to remember that although these three bottles of Lake Water are nothing here, they are invaluable in your human world, you have to take good hold of it, and don't use it yourself, the Demon Blood Lake Water has no effect on you. ”
Lei Xiu couldn't help but bow again and thank the old tree man once, in fact, if the old tree man didn't give him the demon blood lake water, he also planned to cheekily ask the other party for a bottle, this kind of magic blood lake water effect is so magical, of course he wants to get some for Roger.
Subsequently, under the leadership of the little squirrel Red Shadow, Lei Xiu walked out of the Demon Breath Forest, and after saying goodbye to Red Shadow, Lei Xi felt like the next day for a while.
Although he only stayed on the shore of the Demon Blood Lake for more than half a day, the changes in Lei Xiu's thinking were earth-shaking, not only letting him know the origin of the Demon Thunder Battle Dao, but also broadening his horizons, and most importantly, letting him know many secrets that ordinary people could not touch in their lives.
Touching the three bottles of Demon Blood Lake water in his arms, Lei Xiu shouted at the sky and ran towards Moben Town, what he wanted to do most now was to give these three bottles of Demon Blood Lake water to Grandpa Roger, and tell the other party about his adventure this day.
