Chapter 43: Approaching the Ancient Ruins
At the moment, Liu Qi just wanted to find a clean pool of water to wash his body, but unfortunately he walked a long distance and failed to find a clean pool.
Liu Qi secretly scolded in his heart, is it really so disgusting.
However, how could Liu Qi know that his body not only had a foul smell, but also a highly poisonous body, and if these creatures touched Liu Qi, they would probably die soon.
Soon Liu Qi finally saw a clean waterhole, he couldn't care so much, he jumped directly into the waterhole and took off his clothes, and desperately washed his body.
After a while, the fish in the pool all surfaced motionless with their white bellies, and when Liu Qi washed his body and left the pool, the bodies of those fish had already rotted to varying degrees.
"Won't it?"
Looking at the dead fish in the water, Liu Qi was secretly frightened, his body was injected with a large amount of venom, and it would not become a highly poisonous body, how would he get close to a woman in the future, and how would he get married and have children.
Liu Qi didn't dare to think about it anymore. He hurriedly found a pool next to him, jumped down, soaked for a long time, watched the fish in the water swim away from him, Liu Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and then he was not at ease, and he pricked his finger with a scale thorn, dripped blood into the water, observed for a long time and found that the fish were fine, so he was relieved to go ashore.
The first pool may have been poisoned by the presence of venom outside the body.
After relaxing physically and mentally Liu Qi felt hungry, in fact, he hadn't eaten for a week, he got a few fish from the pool, Liu Qi lit a bonfire, and the smell of grilled fish wafted in the air, which made Liu Qi a little impatient, and after gobbling it up, Liu Qi took a full snort, and he felt particularly delicious about this meal.
After a full meal, Liu Qi sat cross-legged, operating his mental method, observing the changes in his body, and in the battle with the scavenging beast, he found that his abilities seemed to have been improved, not only his speed, eyesight, strength, but even the use of true qi became extremely smooth.
The true qi in the body flowed between Liu Qi's meridians like flowing water, the originally blocked meridians were completely opened, and the true qi in the body also changed, the original slightly sparse true qi flow, now it has become more pure and thick, after a long time, Liu Qi opened his eyes, his expression was full of excitement, and he broke through to the second-order realm.
Then he injected true qi into the scale thorn, and the jet-black scale thorn glowed with white light, and the tip of the sword shot out two inches of sword qi.
"I see. ”
Liu Qi understood, his True Qi had changed, and the energy contained in the same amount of True Qi had been strengthened. He injected the same amount of True Qi into the scale thorns, but the effect was much stronger than before.
Being able to stimulate sword qi was something that only a third-order monk could do, and he did it only in the second-order, which made Liu Qi extremely pleased.
What he lacks now is the exercises, and he is eager to learn the exercises above the second order.
After resting for a while, Liu Qi took out the compass, fortunately, the things on his body were still there, and he set the direction, he planned to continue to move south to the depths of the mountains and forests.
Before leaving, Liu Qi discarded the medicinal materials that Duan Liangjie had given him, and lay in the swamp for a week, those medicinal materials were contaminated and corroded by the venom of the scavenging beast and were useless, Liu Qi felt a little pity,
I don't know how many miles I have advanced, the road is quite smooth, I have encountered a few giant beasts on the way, and Liu Qi, who has a premonition that I can't deal with it, has chosen to avoid it, and some Liu Qi has seen the corpses of some monks in front of me, these corpses have been highly decomposed, and they have obviously been dead for a long time.
After three days like this, Liu Qi had already penetrated nearly two hundred miles deep into the Dew Forest, and the fierce beasts here were completely different from the periphery.
Most of them are huge, like small mountains, and they can even shake the ground when they walk, they are extremely fierce, and even some fierce beasts have mastered magic attacks, and the trees in the depths of the dew forest are also extremely huge, and towering trees with a diameter of three or four meters can be seen everywhere.
After being chased by large beasts several times, Liu Qi didn't dare to go any deeper, this was no longer a place he could come, and any beast was not something he could deal with.
At this time, Liu Qi hid in a towering tree, and in order to cover up the smell on his body, Liu Qi surrounded a leaf with a special smell on his body.
Last night he heard that huge terrifying roar again, even though the beast here was already very powerful, it was still extremely manic and extremely aggressive because of that roar.
Liu Qi knew that the location where the loud roar came from was not far from him, but he didn't dare to rush to check it.
Plopping, at this moment, Liu Qi heard the sound of creatures flapping their wings flying overhead, and more than one, due to the limited visibility, he couldn't see what it was, but he heard someone talking above.
"Master, the ancient ruins are ahead, the apprentice suggested going from the ground, if you fly directly over, I am afraid that you will be torn apart by the bone dragon. ”
"Okay, everybody to the ground. An old voice responded.
Liu Qi gathered his true qi into his eyes, and he could barely see farther, but he only saw several blurred figures jumping from the air to the ground.
Liu Qi decided to follow these people, of course he didn't dare to follow too closely, there was an old man on the other side, and he was naturally not an ordinary person to be able to go to the depths of this mountain forest. Since the dew forest is damp and the land is soft, it is easy to leave footprints. Liu Qi planned to wait a little longer and follow the footprints.
When there was no sound in front of him, Liu Qi jumped off the tree, looking for the footprints of those people, through the footprints Liu Qi judged that the number of the other party was a total of five, and only shallow footprints were left on the wet and soft ground, and it could be judged that these five people were peerless masters, and their steps were very light.
Liu Qi continued to follow, and after a distance of less than 100 meters, the footprints of these people suddenly disappeared.
Liu Qi felt bad, and when he came back to his senses, five figures had already appeared behind him, one of them shot quickly, and before Liu Qi could react, he grabbed Liu Qi's neck and lifted him high.
Liu Qi hurriedly took out the scale thorns and quickly slashed at the man's hand, but the man reacted faster, like throwing a sandbag, threw Liu Qi out, smashed it heavily on a big tree, and then bounced to the ground, smashing a deep pit on the ground, the power was unimaginable.
Liu Qi was hit hard, knowing that these people were beyond his ability to deal with no matter what, he was ready to teleport and escape.
"Don't kill him yet. An old man with crane hair and a childish face and a purple dress said at the right time.
Hearing this, Liu Qi temporarily stopped teleporting, got up from the ground with difficulty, and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Hmph, I thought it was a great person, but I didn't expect it to be a little monk. The one who attacked Liu Qi was a middle-aged man with a resolute face and a strong body, and said disdainfully after seeing Liu Qi's appearance.
"Young man, why are you following us? The old man in purple asked, the old man was straight, with his hands behind his back, giving people a sense of oppression from a master outside the world, and it could be guessed that his strength was very strong.
"I just heard the conversation of the seniors, and I also wanted to try my luck at the ancient ruins, so I took the liberty to follow. Liu Qi told the truth.
"You little monk, you are incompetent but very strong. The old man in purple continued: "But if you can come here alive, you must also have your luck and strength." Okay, you can follow along. ”
"Master, this..."
The middle-aged man wanted to stop him, but the old man in purple waved his hand at him and motioned for him to shut down.
