Chapter 16: Count to Three

[Eating D-grade food ingredients, increasing the upper limit of qi and blood by 7 points]

The qi and blood value increased by a margin visible to the naked eye, Xia Mu patted his stomach, very satisfied, Xia Xiaocao on one side fell on his back on the chair, his little belly bulged, and he was about to pass out with happiness.

Xia Mu glanced at the pork in his backpack, there were still more than thirty pieces left, if each one could increase his qi and blood value by 7 points, then his qi and blood value would soar by 210 points, almost ten times the current qi and blood value, but soon, he denied his guess.

Because of the long-term lack of nutrition, my qi and blood value is already low compared to my peers, although the increase in internal force value has played a part of the pulling effect, but it is not obvious, this is the reason why my foundation is too thin, D-level ingredients make up for the background, so I can increase 7 points at one time, and when the body's nutrition comes back, I am afraid it will not grow so fast. ’

Natsuki shifted his gaze to the other two things he had gathered, blood spirits and demons.

【Blood Essence】

Containing a trace of bloodline power, the same source of demon beasts can be used to strengthen their physique, increase the probability of breaking the rank, and it is also one of the medicinal materials for refining the Realm Breaking Pill.

【Demonic Spirit】

The power of courage left behind by the tragic death of the demon king can be used as a material for refining soul-level weapons.

Realm Breaking Pill, when the internal force reaches the number of one Jiazi, it will fall into reliance, at this time, it is difficult to increase cultivation in penance, and it is necessary to break through the barrier with the help of external force, which is the source of the Realm Breaking Pill. Although Xia Mu's current cultivation has only been more than ten years, he doesn't seem to need to think about this matter, but he is also wondering if the so-called bottleneck exists for him after obtaining the system.

"Forget it, I don't want to do so much, it's a big deal to sell it for money." Natsuki happily hid two things under the floor of the house - these things took up too much of a backpack.

Before dawn, Natsuki walked out of the house, the morning star in the east had been hung, and the glow tree at the door was gradually dimming at this time. Lao Huang, who was guarding the door, woke up, but he ate too much and was too full yesterday, and Uncle Dog said that he didn't want to move, and he didn't bother to look at it anymore after he saw that it was Xia Mu.

The sun hadn't come out yet, and there was not a single one in the town except for the patrol.

Of course, it can't be said that in the place where the glow tree can't shine, the illusory shadow makes a seductive sound towards Natsuki...... Xia Mu didn't pay attention to these weird things that were not even as good as ghosts, these things called phantoms were very weak, with Xia Mu's current qi and blood, he could bake them dry just by getting close, but this thing was endless, and it was too weak for the Bodhi tree to bother to take care of.

The best way to deal with them is to ignore them, and this actually applies to most of the weirdness that haunts the dark.

Natsuki stirred up the dark tranquility for fear of being discovered by the patrol, and Natsuki could only walk along the shadows that the glow tree could not reach, which was an extremely dangerous action for others, as everyone who needed to be active at night was told to never go into the dark. Because no one knows whether it is a wraith or a submariner hiding in the dark.

The second title [Killing King] is even more useful than Xia Mu imagined, everywhere he goes, it is simply an aura, and all kinds of weirdness hidden in the darkness are at most just grinning and intimidating, and more are holding their heads and running away.

Without any strange entanglements, Natsuki quickly evaded the sight of the inner patrol and came to the entrance of the town, where he saw a patrol team carefully probing the surroundings. He saw an acquaintance among them, the dog was holding his own butcher's knife, with two thick dark circles under his eyes, and it seemed that he had suffered a lot. Natsuki wanted to scare him, but now he couldn't bear to see him so pitiful.

Next time—Natsuki said to herself.

"Strange, eldest brother, I seem to see something passing by us." Gou Yu rubbed his eyes and poked his partner next to him.

"Do you see what it is?"

"Nope."

"Then leave him alone, it's going to be dawn soon, and the things in the dark will escape from the town before dawn, so let's leave it alone."

"Brother, why don't we close the door and beat the dogs and block them here?"

The partner gave him a blank look, "There are a lot of these ghosts, they can't be killed at all, you kill a wave, and there will be new ones coming in tomorrow, but you don't provoke them, these weirdos will kill each other, and sometimes they will even leave some good things in the village." So don't waste your efforts, let's just wait for dawn. ”

Out of the town, Xia Mu rushed to the mountain, and he woke up before dawn naturally for the fire date, or for the [Huashan Sword Technique].

Although the powerful King Kong palm is powerful, but it consumes too much internal force, and the cooldown time is too long, even if he can control it freely now, it is not suitable as a general means of fighting the enemy, Huashan sword technique is a good supplement, he has an excellent level of Simu sword cooperation, and the power will not be worse than the strong King Kong palm.

The ritual of Huashan swordsmanship requires the practice of swords at a high place when the sun is rising.

The highest mountain near the town is this mountain, and Natsuki is also trying to be foolproof.

"Look, it's a human."

"Who is it?" Xia Mu turned around violently, but only saw the wind blowing in the forest and the trees shaking, and the leaves rustling.

The sound was gone. But when Natsuki turned around, a voice sounded in his ears again.

"It's not dawn yet, why would a human want to come here?"

"He's not here to cut me, is he? Mom, I'm afraid. ”

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, you're so thin, humans don't look down on you."

"Why don't we bury him in the ground?"

"But we can't move now, how can we bury it?"

"Don't we even have a broken rank? What about the broom head? Didn't he break the ranks? ”

"Besides, on the day the broom head broke the steps, the 'lumberjack' cut it off and dragged it away."

"I'm still more afraid of 'lumberjacks' than humans."

"Anyway, it looks the same......"

"Mom, I'm afraid."

The sound of the sound is endless, Xia Mu is not looking back, there are too many weirdness in the dark, and he is not good at exploring them one by one, as long as he does not hinder himself. But when he heard 'lumberjack'. New tasks have appeared.

[Serial Mission: Snooping in the Shadows]

It's strange to hear the weirdos in the woods talk about 'lumberjacks', and although there are occasional lumberjacks in the town, no one really makes a living from them, who are these 'lumberjacks'? Or are they human?

Mission: Find the hidden lumberjack and find his origins.

Rewards: Chivalry +300, Attribute +1.

Quest Tip: Such a big tree has been dragged away, there must be traces, what to do without me teaching you, right?

Not again...... Natsuki wanted to say that I didn't, it wasn't me, it wasn't my business, but when he saw the task reward, he just wanted to say: It's so fragrant!

"Hey, what's the origin of the 'lumberjack'?"

As soon as Xia Mu spoke, the originally noisy environment suddenly quieted down.

Really...... Natsuki drew his sword and aimed it at a big tree that was not moving in the wind, "Don't pretend to be stupid for me, or try whether my sword is sharp or not." ”

【Tree mayflies】

The soul is weird, a strange soul born in the trees, scattered in three days, and has an autonomous consciousness.

"I say!" A high-pitched voice sounded.

Other voices came at the same time, "Don't cut me, I'm in terrible pain." ”

Xia Mu just cheated casually, I never thought these weird people were so timid, you are a tree, a big tree with three people hugging? It's too unproductive, isn't it?

"I said, I said, that three days ago, these 'lumberjacks' suddenly appeared in the forest and cut down all the trees that had broken the ranks."

"Three days ago?" Natsuki frowned, "Are you sure it was only three days ago?" Why is there no trace at all? How many broken trees do you have? It was cut down in three days, how many lumberjacks came? ”

"We have three broken trees, and here are three 'lumberjacks'."

Xia Mu had a question mark on his face, and the more he listened, the more unreliable he became.

"Human, don't care about the numbers or anything, we can only count to three." A human face appeared on an ancient tree next to him, explaining to Natsuki that he was afraid that the sap would splash on him after his companion was hacked to death.
