Chapter 248: Shu Yue's Heart Knot
More than 100 catties of white meat were quickly wiped out by the two of them, and the hunger receded like a tide, Liu Zhi touched the slightly swollen belly and rested for a while, and when Shu Yue was also full, he called her to his side and taught her the cultivation methods of the "Thousand Souls Quenching Body Sutra" one by one.
Compared with the Qi Conduction Technique, the "Thousand Spirits Quenching Body Sutra" is undoubtedly much more subtle, after Shu Yue understood it thoroughly, he wanted to try the effect immediately, but was stopped by Liu Zhi, he meant to hunt a demon beast again, and verify it by absorbing spiritual energy.
The concentration of vitality in this place is too low, and it is full of dangers, and there may be deadly monsters hidden everywhere, which will affect the cultivation of the two of them, so they can't waste too much time on inefficient things.
Liu Zhi filled the remaining white meat with a piece of worm foot, tied it behind his back, and led Shu Yue towards the end of the crack.
The Wailing Abyss is located in the southwest of the Land of Punishment, the first sun rises in the southeast and sets in the northwest, and combined with the direction of the two rays, it is easy to determine the location of the Land of Punishment.
The speed of the two of them is very slow, basically running for a period and stopping for a while, Liu Zhi is fully open, always paying attention to the movement of the Quartet, in this place, he does not dare to be careless.
The terrain of the wailing abyss tends to be hilly, although the ground is rugged, but the ups and downs are not large, but there will be deep pits from time to time, and you can hear bursts of roars coming from the pits far away, presumably in each pit, there are many monsters gathered.
There are a lot of monsters encountered along the way, but they are all insects, not to mention mammals, even the vertebrates have not encountered half of the head, the spiritual strength of these insects is not high, most of them are in the third level, and a few strong ones can reach the fourth level, but they are often in groups, as few as seven or eight, and as many as hundreds, Liu Zhi is afraid of being discovered by them, so he holds his breath and carefully detours.
He knows very well that alarming a group of insects will never have any good results, there are only more than 20 arrows left in the quiver, the hexagonal blade is not suitable for group combat, if you can't kill the insects in one fell swoop, you can only flee for your life, the monsters of the crying abyss are extremely densely distributed, and if you take a wrong step, you may strayed into the depths of the monster group and die.
About twenty minutes later, Liu Zhi finally found a lone insect in a valley, said to be a worm, in fact, it is more like a snake, no legs, the body surface is covered with fine scales, six or seven meters long, nearly half a meter thick, but it is also very different from snakes, first of all, its eyelids can be closed, snakes do not have this function, and secondly, its tail is extremely long, almost occupying two-thirds of the entire body, and the tail of the snake is usually less than half of the length of the body.
There is also a little uncertain, its mouth does not seem to be able to open like a snake, and judging from the position of the lower jaw, it can open to fifty or sixty degrees at most, which is far less than more than a hundred degrees of a snake.
From these, Liu Zhi can basically determine that this demon beast does not belong to the snake class, but is like a lizard without legs, there is also this species on the earth, but it is very small, and the danger is usually not high, and some even never hurt people, which is very suitable for keeping as a pet.
This giant legless lizard doesn't hurt anyone, Liu Zhi doesn't know, the only thing he can be sure of is that this guy is not a bug. If there are vertebrate monsters, it is likely that there will be mammalian monsters, which is undoubtedly good news, after all, he still knows more about the habits of mammals.
Taking the black bow from Shu Yue's hand, Liu Zhi gathered enough strength and shot three arrows in succession, which pierced into the head of the footless lizard.
Prior to this, he had already raised the vitality in the black bow a bit, which was just suitable for his own use, and his speed and power naturally increased, at least by thirty percent compared to before.
A hiss came, the body of the footless lizard twitched violently, it seemed to realize the crisis of the situation, it didn't think about looking for the enemy at all, and turned around and fled directly, Liu Zhi would give it a chance, the string was full of arrows, and two arrows hit the head, this time it seemed to hit the nerve center, the footless lizard was like being struck by lightning, its body was straight, and after a moment of stiffness, it was completely paralyzed.
In order to prevent accidents, Liu Zhi made up two more arrows, and seeing that the footless lizard did not react, he still did not dare to be careless, and waited for about ten minutes before approaching carefully with Shu Yue.
After stabbing twice with the hexagonal blade to confirm that the footless lizard was dead, Liu Zhi looked at Shu Yue and said: "The strength of spiritual energy is about equivalent to that of a third-level demon beast, you absorb it first, and then use the Thousand Spirits Quenching Body Sutra to refine it, and see how much faster the efficiency is than before." ”
Yes?
Shu Yue seemed to be surprised, looked at Liu Zhi in a daze, and replied in a low voice: "Leader, do you already know my ability?" ”
Liu Zhi shook his head: "I just know a rough idea, when you were cultivating in the freezer, many people reported that the spiritual energy content of demon beast meat had decreased a lot, and I guessed that it should have been absorbed by you." ”
Shu Yue lowered her head, she thought that she had hidden this secret well, but she didn't expect that Liu Zhi had already noticed it and settled down, she said with a little apprehension: "I'm sorry, chief, I didn't mean to hide it, I just haven't thought about it yet...... What to say to you. ”
Liu Zhiwen smiled gently: "Don't be in a hurry to say I'm sorry, let me ask you, do you think that this ability is a little evil?" ”
Shu Yue nodded, then shook his head again, glanced at Liu Zhi and said, "Chief, I think you should replace the word 'some' with 'very'." ”
Very evil?
Liu Zhi couldn't help laughing, Shu Yue was usually well-behaved and obedient, even in front of herself, she rarely showed her playful side, maybe it was because she had been ridiculed too much before and suffered too much, so she would hide her true character, so as not to exchange enthusiasm for cold eyes.
Many people are like this, singing "You can not love, please don't hurt" in their mouths, but they turn their heads and stab the hearts of others with blood.
Liu Zhi was very glad to see Shu Yue's side, which showed that the girl really trusted him and was willing to open her heart to him. I also like this kind of comfort, it's real, it's cute and cute.
"Hehe, is it very evil? I really didn't think you would think so. Liu Zhi shook his head with a smile, looked at the girl and said: "If you want me to say, there is no difference between good and evil in the ability in this world, the reason why people think that a certain ability is evil is because someone uses this ability to do bad things, if there are many such people, one ten, ten to hundred, the world will give this ability the label of evil, but in fact? Ability is still ability, it has never changed, if it is placed in the hands of kind people, it can still bloom. ”
Shu Yue was slightly touched, she understood what Liu Zhi said, but it was even more difficult to face it calmly. She is still yearning for the age of love, and naturally hopes that her figure and appearance can get better and better, her skin is tender and radiant, but the world is impermanent, not only did she fail to do so, but she turned into a half-human and half-ghost appearance, among which the gap, it is not an exaggeration to say that the sky is cloudy, and the falling heart knot is extremely deep, so deep that even if the rope untier is Liu Zhi, it still can't be loosened.
Because she didn't believe at all, Liu Zhi would like her current self.
She originally wanted to tell Liu Zhi that absorbing and refining the necromantic qi would make her thinner and whiter, and more and more like a ghost. But after thinking about it again, she finally didn't say it, she knew that no matter what she became, Liu Zhi would not hate her, but she didn't want Liu Zhi to worry about her.
If someone is destined to sacrifice before the two of them can get out of here, she is willing to bear all the price on herself.
"I see, Chief, I'll make good use of this ability in the future." She nodded heavily, deliberately pretending to be suddenly enlightened.
Liu Zhi has been a human being for two lives, how can he not see that Shu Yue's words are not completely sincere, he sighed secretly, and did not say anything more, this kind of thing still depends on himself after all, his own thoughts are not accessible, and it is useless for others to say more.
"It's good to understand." Liu Zhiya pretended to be pleased and smiled: "Absorb it first, I'll help you be vigilant." ”
"Hmm."
Shu Yue responded, put his hand on the head of the footless lizard, and began to absorb the necromantic qi.
