One hundred and fifty-six chapters
"I see."
Ning Yuan muttered almost silently.
Holding the gun in both hands, the right hand bent its arm and flicked, and the spear in his hand swirled and stabbed out along the circle of the left hand, sparking a spark on the back of a stone lizard.
"I was wrong." Ning Yuan put away the gun and retreated, letting the stone lizard bite counterattack, his footsteps turned again, and the barrel of the gun turned along his waist, spinning and stabbing out at a faster speed.
A swoop up the stone lizard slams its hard stony forehead against the tip of the spear, pushing the spear back in a flickering stream of sparks and a flight of crumb.
Ning Yuan turned again without any accident or hesitation, pressed the tail of the spear and rotated the spear along the side of his waist and footsteps again, forcing the stone lizards that surrounded him to retreat, and the spear stabbed out faster than just now.
This time, it was still piercing the stone lizard's stony skin, and a series of stone chips and firelight were rubbed along the lizard's body.
"These are not 'Changhong'." Ning Yuan's eyes showed a thoughtful glint, "The first few shots weren't really 'Changhong' either. ”
The spear swept away the lizard group again, Ning Yuan's feet were staggered, slightly bent, and the spear was closed at his waist.
"At least it shouldn't be the 'Changhong' I need."
"My 'Changhong' should be... During the operation of the "Nine Refining", the refining qi was integrated into the limbs, and Ning Yuan's eyes were staring at the stone lizard that pounced in front of him, and at the moment when the stone lizard was close to the limit of the spear's attack, his legs exerted force.
"That's right."
"Boom!"
"Bang!"
"Huh!"
A rainbow line crossed, leaving a shallow pit in Ning Yuan's original location, Ning Yuan disappeared, and appeared five meters behind the stone lizard in an instant, standing still. As he turned to look at the stone lizard that was still rushing forward.
Then, in the unexplained gaze of the people who heard the unusual sound of breaking wind around them, the stone lizard suddenly fell to the ground, and a scorching smell spread along with the curling smoke.
"Straight Line Charge Skill?!" Tan Xiong's eyes froze, "No." Charge skills are more aimed at ramming and forcing stops, quickly approaching the opponent, and the effect is mostly to repel stuns. This skill is more like a straight-line attack skill. ”
Just as Tan Xiong was thinking, Ning Yuan turned into a rainbow line three times in a row without warning, and the other three stone lizards staggered. Each time, the lizard stood a few meters behind its original position, then turned to the next target and turned into a rainbow line. Coupled with the first time, the four rainbow lines form an irregular diamond shape.
Just when everyone was stunned by Ning Yuan's outburst, Ning Yuan, who was standing still again, suddenly turned red, and spat out a mouthful of blood with a "wow".
Everyone was shocked, Tan Xiong's expression changed, he disappeared in place with a step, and appeared beside Ning Yuan in an instant to support him. Old Man Hu Yang and Yi Ge hurriedly ran up.
Tan Xiong helped Ning Yuan to the side and let him sit down against the stone pillar.
Seeing that Tan Xiong, who had always been expressionless, showed concern, Ning Yuan waved his hand with some difficulty, indicating that it was okay. However, the internal organs in his body that turned over made Ning Yuan unconsciously show a painful look.
The old man Hu Yang stepped forward and grabbed Ning Yuan's wrist with a serious face, and his eyes looked sharply at the position of Ning Yuan's chest and abdomen.
"How?" Iggy asked, who had followed.
"The muscles of the limbs are cracked, the blood is retrograde, and the internal organs are injured, but fortunately, the meridians are fine." After Hu Yang examined it carefully, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he looked at Ning Yuan's eyes and said, "My lord, you used a power that you shouldn't have used at this stage. Your body simply can't withstand the skill you just had. ”
The corners of Ning Yuan's mouth, which was full of pain, pulled out an ugly wry smile and said, "I didn't know that the real 'Changhong' actually had such high requirements for the body. ”
"It's not just that trick." Hu Yang shook his head and said, "My lord, you still shattered your Qi refining core, right?" ”
"Self-deprecating core?!" Tan Xiong's expression changed, and he looked at Ning Yuan and exclaimed, "My lord, are you crazy?!" ”
"Nope." Ning Yuan looked up at the sky, although his expression was painful, his eyes were bright, "I just corrected my own wrong exercises." ”
When Ning Yuan was puzzled about what kind of principle the skill card skills were based on, why they couldn't be upgraded, and why there were restrictions on whether they were suitable or not, Ning Yuan suddenly thought of a possibility.
Although there was no evidence, Ning Yuan's intuition told him that the so-called skill card skills were actually abilities or potentials that the players themselves had.
Skill cards simply give players the ability or potential to grasp in advance in the form of skills. The equivalent of overdrawing potential allows players to master abilities or talents that they would otherwise be able to master later. Because it is an overdraft, it cannot be upgraded. The so-called inappropriateness is simply because the player cannot master this ability themselves, so even if the skill is obtained, it cannot be used.
If this is the case with skill cards, is it also true for other types of skills?
The skill in "Changhong" or "Xuanyang Marksmanship" was originally just a technical skill in Ning Yuan's eyes. He also studied and comprehended according to the technique.
But is that all?
Although he did comprehend the "Changhong" skill in the direction of the technique, Ning Yuan always had a feeling of being in vain when he used it.
"Changhong" is like this, even if it is the mental skill "Nine Refining".
Under Ning Yuan's cognition, Ning Yuan sensed the vitality and then used the technique in the "Nine Refining Qi to Turning the Heart Sutra" to absorb the vitality into the body with nine refinements and one inhalation, and then returned to the chest qi source space after running along the meridians, that is, the middle dantian. When needed, it is drawn from the qi source and runs along the meridians to all parts of the body to achieve the blessings of vitality.
But is this really the real use of the "Nine Refinings"? Did he comprehend the true "Nine Refinings" mental method?
The Nino Continent is the Yuan Qi Continent, and the civilization on the Nino Continent is the cultivation civilization and the Qi refining technology civilization. The stars were originally also a cultivation civilization, and the next thing they will return to is also a cultivation civilization.
What is cultivation?
Cultivation is a way to strengthen oneself with vitality and endow oneself with unimaginable abilities, and it is a means to sublimate oneself and evolve oneself. It is a miracle that allows the living beings of all races to realize the sublimation of life with this.
So what exactly is the cultivation of living beings?
It is one's own essence, qi, and spirit.
Only by sublimating all of their own essence and spirit can living beings realize the evolution of life forms.
So what should be the basis for the cultivation of a living being?
Ning Yuan's first thought was the physical body. The physical things are essence, essence is the boat, the air is the oar, and the god is the man.
Thinking about it like this, Ning Yuan suddenly had a new understanding of the sentence in the "Nine Refining Qi Turning Heart Sutra", "Qi luck melts into the body, and it does not disperse or move in the heart".
Originally, Ning Yuan's understanding was to run the refined Yuan Qi along the meridians for a week and then merge it into the qi source, and then introduce it into the limbs when needed, which was his current state.
But isn't it understood that the refined vitality is directly dispersed into the internal organs, the body, the meridians and the blood, and comprehensively strengthens the "essence" of the human body?
As a top-notch qi refining method that leads directly to the door of evolution, it must be involved in all three aspects of the human body's essence, qi and spirit. And as the foundation, the first step is usually to refine the body, because the body is the foundation of everything.
Thinking like this, Ning Yuan subconsciously collapsed the qi source of the middle dantian, and all the vitality dispersed into the limbs under the command of Ning Yuan's mind.
At that moment, the spontaneous pleasure and greed of his body made Ning Yuan understand that he had done the right thing. This is the true meaning of the first three refinements of the real "Nine Refinings".
It was at this time that Ning Yuan understood what was missing in the "Changhong" he understood.
"Changhong" is not a simple marksmanship skill, but a kind of "potential", a kind of "human gun integration" indomitable gun momentum.
Ning Yuan originally used "Changhong", a gun transport technique that separates people and guns. A man is a man, and a gun is a gun. Use the force of the waist and hip and the shaking of the wrist to push the gun forward to rotate to strengthen the speed and damage of the gun. The faster the speed, the stronger the spin and the greater the damage.
The "Changhong" of the four rainbow lines behind is that Ning Yuan introduced the Qi refining of scattered limbs and hundreds of bones into the spear, making the spear an extension of his body, and then sprinting forward with a mentality of advancing and retreating.
However, it was such a simple sprint, but the effect was as powerful as the speed of the rainbow and the scorching sun.
It was at that moment that Ning Yuan knew what cultivation was. Why the monks recorded in the ancient texts are so powerful and incredible.
However, it was obvious that Ning Yuan's body could not meet the requirements of the real "Changhong", so after only four "Changhong" skills, Ning Yuan's body was injured.
When the old man Hu Yang checked Ning Yuan's injuries, the people of the militia squad began to clean up the battlefield under the organization of the squad leader and the captain.
Although the beasts of the Nino Continent do not drop things like gold coins and equipment, the materials on the beasts can still be broken down and collected. And there are a lot of good things on the body of the stone lizard. At least it's a good thing for the current Yumein Village.
The skin of the stone lizard is the basic material for making anti-leather armor, the fangs of the stone lizard can be used to make arrows for tooth arrows, the spikes on the tail can be used as the spearhead of bone spears, and the claws and spine ribs can be used in medicine, which is a common auxiliary material for trauma medicine. Although the flesh of the stone lizard is not very good, it is indeed edible, and it has a weak strengthening effect.
In fact, most of the fierce beasts are made of materials all over their bodies, whether they are fur, minions, bones, flesh or internal organs, they are all useful materials for all races. Of course, the internal organs of the lizard belong to the useless kind.
Although everyone can do work such as peeling, decomposing, and collecting, the materials collected with relevant professions and skills are better in terms of completeness and quality than those without, so after the last battle on the Neno continent, it is basically those with relevant professions and skills who are responsible for cleaning up the battlefield.
Although the number of Mengyuan Village militia team is small, there are many professionals who have professional peeling and decomposition. After all, the title of "Lingshan Village" in Mengyuan Village is really not a decoration.
Because of the two titles of "Lingshan Village" and "Haikou Fishing Village", Mengyuan Village now has the most mountain people and fishermen. And more than half of the militia squad are mountain people with a "hunter" class.
While the militiamen with professional gathering skills were cleaning up the body of the stone lizard, the other militiamen gathered around to watch the body of the stone lizard that Ning Yuan had killed with the rainbow line skill.
The four stone lizards that were killed by Ning Yuan with the "Changhong" skill all exuded a smell of burnt meat and roasted meat, and there was smoke on the corpses.
The squad leader who proposed to help Ning Yuan opened a smoking stone lizard corpse at the instigation and curiosity of his men.
Unexpectedly, the team leader named Li Yi just touched it lightly, but the corpse of the stone lizard, which seemed to be intact on the surface, suddenly shattered. Although it did not turn into ashes, it also crumbled into seventy or eighty pieces scattered together. A random piece of it was opened, and it was found that the flesh of the lizard had turned into charcoal, except for the part near the epidermis.
Looking at the charcoal in front of them, several people glanced at each other and turned over all the corpse parts.
Immediately to his horror, he found that all the corpse parts, except for the bones and epidermis and some of the flesh that had been roasted, all the flesh and blood had turned into charcoal, and the internal organs and the lower part of the abdomen were completely gone.
"This..." The crowd of onlookers looked at each other.
Another team leader named Zhang Wu turned over several other stone lizard corpses one by one in disbelief, except for the body of the stone lizard that Ning Yuan had killed at the beginning, which was still intact, the other two corpses were also torn apart when they were turned. Whether it's lumpy char or whitish bones, it's all crumbling at a pinch.
Even the corpse of the lizard, which was still relatively intact, had its abdomen and internal organs gone, and the flesh between the skeletons was charred black.
"It's like being burned through by magma."
Li Yi muttered in disbelief.
After Ning Yuan stabilized a little, Tan Xiong also walked over.
"Captain!"
"Captain!"
The militia members greeted Tan Xiong one after another, and at the same time followed behind, their eyes wandering at the less scary body parts on the ground due to the evaporation of blood. Obviously, I wanted to hear Tan Xiong's opinion.
Tan Xiong frowned and squatted down, pinched a piece of corpse with broken bones in his hand and rubbed it gently, only to see that the corpse pieces in his hand, whether they were broken bones or charred black, all turned into powder and drifted away during the rubbing, and only the skin turned into finer fragments and spilled out.
"Captain, the village chief's attack... Li Yi stepped forward with some hesitation and asked.
"Isn't it a little incredible?" Tan Xiong glanced at him and asked.
"Hmm." Li Yi nodded, and said with some hesitation, "At least it's not the power that can be achieved by the soldier level." ”
Tan Xiong shook his head: "Not only is it not a power that can be achieved by a soldier, but even a silver lieutenant level cannot cause such damage." ”
Hearing Tan Xiong say this, Li Yi's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Ground steps?!" ”
Tan Xiong turned his head to look at him, and said expressionlessly: "Ground steps." And at least the gold school is high-level. ”
"How is that possible?!"
"This... That's an exaggeration, isn't it?! ”
The militia members who had been paying attention to the conversation between the two looked at each other and were quiet for a while, and then a heated discussion broke out.
"Steps?! The village chief can be a soldier, right?! ”
"Too exaggerated?! How is this possible?! ”
"The village chief's level is still unstable?!"
Tan Xiong got up and looked around at everyone expressionlessly, and all those who saw Tan Xiong's indifferent eyes that were faintly under pressure unconsciously quieted down.
After seeing that everyone was quiet, Tan Xiong said indifferently: "In the eyes of our aborigines, although it is not common to cross the ranks, it is not an exaggeration. It is difficult to imagine two steps, or even a large span. ”
Someone in the crowd nodded silently. The others also looked at Tan Xiong with a look of approval.
"But," Tan Xiong said with a solemn expression, "For players, this is not an exaggeration. ”
The expressions of the people changed, and a few of them who had been in contact with the player before naturalization nodded after thinking about it.
"Those of you who have been in contact with players should know that the physical fitness of players, that is, the four-dimensional attributes, grows quickly. Originally, their strength should not have been much stronger than they showed. ”
Tan Xiong paused, and continued, "But in fact, many players who should have reached the military level are still at the civilian level. However, although they are civilian-level, most of them are at or near the rank of ordinary lieutenant among our aborigines. ”
