Chapter 254: The Dark Forest

Liu Zhi woke up from his meditation, stretched his hands and feet, and felt the endless majestic power in his body, instead of feeling joy, he sighed lightly, showing a bit of helplessness.

In the past five days, he has eaten a total of nearly 700 pieces of jade meat, and his body strength has soared from strengthening plus 2 all the way to strengthening plus 5, whether it is strength, endurance, or visceral function, skin toughness, bone hardness, and even various sensory abilities, it has improved more than ten times, it is simply from a humanoid giant beast to an ancient fierce beast.

When he first arrived at the Xuanti Dacheng, Liu Zhi had tested that without using the Yuan Qi, he could penetrate the two-centimeter-thick hexagonal plank with one punch with all his strength, and it was not long after he arrived at the reinforcement plus 1, and the power was already quite terrifying, and now, he didn't need to use his fist at all, he had enough strength, and with a flick of his fingers, the 2.5-centimeter-thick hexagonal plank sandwiched in the leggings shattered.

It was an excellent joy that the body was so greatly enhanced, but why did Liu Zhi look sullen?

The reason is very simple, after he reached the enhancement plus 5, the improvement effect of the jade flesh contributed by those fifth-level demon beasts began to decline significantly.

At first, he suspected that it might be the process of strengthening plus 5 to strengthening plus 6, which required a huge amount of life energy, but he quickly denied it, and through the "Thousand Souls Quenching Body Sutra", he could roughly feel how much life energy his body had absorbed. After strengthening and adding 5, the energy converted by the fifth-level jade flesh is less than one-third of the time when 4 is added, so it can be seen that it must be the energy level of the body, which has exceeded the energy level contained in the fifth-level jade meat, which makes the absorption effect greatly reduced.

After trying a few more times, the result did not change in the slightest, Liu Zhi had to accept the reality, he ate fourteen pieces of jade meat above level six, and gave the rest to Shu Yue, so that she went from strengthening plus 1 to strengthening plus 3 directly.

Shu Yue originally didn't want it, she also knew that the aura here was thin, and she could enhance her strength by absorbing the qi of the dead spirit, Liu Zhi couldn't, the only way for him to become stronger quickly was to devour jade meat, no matter what aspect she considered, Shu Yue would not want to share the resources of this piece, she just wanted to do the auxiliary work with peace of mind, and watch her beloved man become stronger little by little, until she took her out of here.

Even she occasionally thinks: If the two of them can stay here all the time and live like this, in fact, ...... It's pretty good, too.

Every time this idea popped up, she would secretly scold herself in her heart, feeling that she was too selfish and too greedy. There are still so many people waiting for Liu Zhi outside, and he needs to do things related to the survival of the race, how can he disregard the morality of his family and country because of his temporary love for children!

Because of these, when Liu Zhi handed over the jade meat to her, it took a lot of effort to explain it clearly.

Walking out of the cave, Liu Zhi glanced around, and saw Shu Yue sitting cross-legged on a slope, and the little chick who was not very stable on the road shook her buttocks, circled around her, and opened her mouth from time to time to cry, or rubbed Shu Yue a few times with her head to show her intimacy.

After this little guy stole a piece of jade meat, because his body couldn't bear it, he woke up after two days of sleep, and then it showed an amazing amount of food, and it became larger in just three days, and the fluff also grew, and it was a little beginning to show its appearance.

Shu Yue gave it a name, called "Fuyao", saying that she hoped that when it grew up, it would be able to spread its wings and soar to 90,000 miles like the legendary Dapeng bird.

Liu Zhi has no opinion on this, he has always been not good at these things, and all that turns in his head is "chirp", "chirp", "Xiaobai", "Xiaobao", and the name "Fuyao" is not only good, but also very imposing, which matches the identity of the little chick's demon bird.

Before he got closer, Xiao Fuyao saw him, twisted his butt and shook it, lowered his head to rub his calf, the first thing it saw after it was born was Liu Zhi, and he regarded Liu Zhi as a parent, compared to Shu Yue, who had been taking care of it, it was a little closer.

Liu Zhi smiled and took out a piece of jade meat, tore off a small piece and threw it to it, Xiao Fuyao hurriedly jumped up to catch it, and after swallowing it, he kept flapping his wings and screaming in his mouth, as if he wanted to eat it again.

"You can only eat a small piece a day, it's too much, you know?" Ryu touched its head in response.

Seeing that he put the jade meat in his pocket, Xiao Fuyao immediately buried his head, put away his wings, and walked to Shu Yue's side listlessly, looking very wronged.

Shu Yue was amused, and took out a piece of demon beast meat from the bag, Xiao Fuyao immediately cheered up, and before Shu Yue threw it out, he flapped his wings and jumped up, grabbed the meat strip with his small mouth, and ran directly to the side after landing, looking at Liu Zhi while enjoying it, as if he was afraid of being taken back by Liu Zhi.

Liu Zhi was made to laugh and cry by its action, walked to Shu Yue and sat down, looked into the distance, and asked, "How is the situation?" Still there is no trace of any monsters? ”

Shu Yue nodded and said, "Yes, chief, I've basically finished looking for this area, and I don't have any, I think they should be afraid that the golden light will explode again, so they don't dare to come back." ”

Liu Zhi thought for a while and said: "I think so too, now that they don't come back, we can only go out to find it, the demon beast meat in the bag is almost finished, and if we don't hunt, Xiao Fuyao will be hungry." ”

Speaking of this, he paused, his eyes seemed to melt into the darkness in the distance, and added softly, "Moreover, we all have to continue to improve, and we must try to get out of here as soon as possible." ”

Shu Yue couldn't help but be silent, she knew that Liu Zhi must be worried about the situation of the tribe, no matter who or what happened, there were too many for him to worry about, she couldn't relieve Liu Zhi's worries, she was speechless, and finally asked in a low voice: "Leader, do you think, when will we be able to get out of here?" ”

"I don't know."

Liu Zhi sighed a little helplessly: "This canyon, I think there must be thousands of kilometers, plus there are dangers everywhere, we can only grope forward, we can walk more than ten kilometers a day is considered lucky, bad luck can only stop, and even trapped in a place for a long time." However, if we land not far from the exit, even if it is such a little bit of grinding, it should not take long, and if it is a distant ......"

He sighed again and did not continue, obviously not wanting to see this result.

Shu Yue glanced at Liu Zhi with a complicated expression, and was silent for a while, before softly admonishing: "Chief, don't worry too much, I think whether it is the tribe or Sister Xiaoying, they must be all fine now, and everyone must be waiting for you to go back." ”

Liu Zhi shook his head with a smile, and said: "I'm not worried about them, the tribe has entered a good operation, even if I am not there, there are still Duan Qi, Zhu Cheng, Wu Yang, Huang Han, Xu Liang, Zhou Baiqi and them, there is no mess, as for Xiaoying......" His voice was slightly lower: "She doesn't have to worry about me, before she finds my body, with her temperament, it is impossible to believe that I am dead, don't worry about what stupid things she will do." ”

"The only thing I'm worried about now is how to get out of here, after all, that guy is also here, he is better than these monsters...... Much more dangerous. ”

Shu Yue remembered the scenes in the forbidden land, her heart was saddened by Er Xiaoguang's death, and she also hated the evil spirit that took away her body, but she had to admit that that guy was indeed very strong, and he defeated Liu Zhi with the cultivation of the Xuan Body Xiaocheng, and even almost killed Liu Zhi, and now although Liu Zhi's strength has increased greatly, he may not be able to get benefits from him.

Thinking of this, Shu Yue couldn't help but feel a great pressure, last time she was forced to shoot an arrow at Liu Zhi, when it was really painful, she would never allow a similar situation to happen again.

She had a hunch that the two would definitely meet again.

…………

The two men and one beast packed up and continued to the northeast, and it took three days to walk.

The density of demon beasts along the way has been greatly reduced, originally it was a few hundred meters to see more than three or five, or even hundreds of thousands, but now it is normal to see less than one for several kilometers, even if you see it, it is mostly three or four level monsters, with Liu Zhi's current combat strength, you can tear it with your bare hands, and you can't dissect it anymore.

Of course, there are not no demon beasts at the fifth or sixth level, but the number is very small, and a total of two heads were met in three days, in the past, Liu Zhi saw these guys with extremely strong spiritual energy, all for fear of alarming them, and carefully detoured to slip away, but now it is not, he just needs a suitable opponent to test the combat power, and the two demon beasts he encountered, the fifth level was tortured and killed by him with his bare hands, and the sixth-level demon beasts fought for a while, and found that they were not necessarily enemies, so they turned around and fled for their lives, Liu Zhi did not chase them, after strengthening plus 5, His greatest increase was in his strength, which was not much faster than before, and if he could not solve his opponent in a short period of time, he would fall into an endless pursuit war, which was very unwise in this dangerous abyss.

Thanks to the scarcity of demon beasts, the speed of the two of them was much faster, and after walking hundreds of kilometers in three days, Liu Zhi stopped, and his eyes fell on a dense forest not far away, which was the dark forest he had seen a few days ago.

The trees in the forest are extremely tall, even the shortest ones, they are more than ten zhang high, and the height is at least forty or fifty zhang, like a towering building, these trees are not only tall, but also very wide, and the diameter is usually about three or four meters. The branches and foliage of these trees are extremely dense and resemble a cover, but the trunks, branches, and leaves are not the color of pale purple and almost gray, but they are in harmony with this dull heaven and earth.

Liu Zhi carried Xiao Fuyao on his back and walked into the dense forest with Shu Yue, and found that the distance between the trees was quite far, thinking that it was because the root system was too large, and it was easy to entangle each other when they were close, and the Luo Gai at the top could not be stretched, which was not conducive to their respective growth. When you look at it from the outside in, you don't notice it because the trees are too tall, but it gives you a dense feeling.

After walking for seven or eight minutes, Liu Zhi suddenly heard a rustling sound, looked up, and saw that on the big tree not far away, four or five dark red figures flashed and appeared, approaching rapidly, and the target was pointing directly at this place.

Sensing that the other party was not good, Liu Zhi stopped, put down the backpack containing Xiao Fuyao, and handed it to Shu Yue together with the black bow, untied a long package from behind, tore off the animal skin wrapped around it, and slowly opened it, and a bone spear about seven feet long was lying quietly inside.

This gun is made by Liu Zhi with the hand bones of a fifth-level demon beast, the whole body is pitch black, the unique spear head is silver, six feet eight inches long, and weighs 100 catties.

For the anti-slip hand, the body of the gun is carved with a hexagonal blade densely carved with dense carvings, and the eight-inch gun head meticulously implements the principle of "high ridge blade thin tip", the three ridge blades are slightly curved, there is a blood groove, the gun is about four inches thick, it is a veritable big gun.

With the gun in hand, a dark red shadow fell in front of him, and immediately seven shadows gathered behind the shadow, a total of eight monsters.

Liu Zhi looked at it casually, the strength of these monsters is not strong, the strength of spiritual energy is between three and four levels, but the appearance is very terrifying, their limbs are erect, their skin is red like blood, their upper bodies are muscular, their waists and arms are extremely thick, their five fingers are like thorns, but their lower bodies are quite slender, judging from their movements just now, they should belong to the agile category.

The contours of their faces are somewhat similar to those of humans, but their heads are narrow, their ears are pointed, and they are distinctly beastly features, with only a tuft of hair on the top of their heads, also dark red, their eyes bulging outward, their pupils like beans, and a large mouth full of dense fangs.

What's more, most of them are about one meter eight or nine tall, and the male and female characteristics are obvious, which is a little strange, most of the creatures in the crying abyss are huge, often four or five meters, like such a petite monster in front of him, Liu Zhi is really the first time to see it.

An excited roar sounded, and the eight shadows moved at the same time, and the monster closest to Liu Zhi had already pulled its tongue and rushed to him, its big mouth opened violently, as if it wanted to swallow it in one gulp.

A cold light lit up, as fast as lightning, "poof", Liu Zhi, who came first, shot firmly in the monster's wide open mouth, his right hand rotated, the tip of the gun stirred violently, and then a big pick, the red dog demon whose head was half broken was picked and flew five meters away, and his body slipped off against the wall, twitched twice, and there was no life.

The companion died, and the monster's ferocity was revealed, and they all roared and pounced.

Liu Zhi stared at the two monsters that jumped at the same time, one left and one right, and when he was close, he suddenly took a big step to the right, and he was able to dodge the pounce of a monster, twisted his body and turned sharply, and the black gun in his hand was resolutely sent, like a poisonous snake into the chest of the other monster that jumped into the air.

The monster who was stabbed in the heart by the black gun showed a look of disbelief in his eyes, and after his body shook violently twice, he went limp, and a mouthful of blood overflowed from his mouth, and he was killed instantly.

Liu Zhi, who knew the speed of the soldiers, did not slack off at all, and the black spear flicked back, slamming it in the face of the monster that pounced on the head, and the sharp and matchless spine blade easily cut its left cheek, and then, the spear head was knocked upside down, and its skull was shattered with a "bang".

Seeing Liu Zhi kill three companions in an instant, the other five monsters couldn't help but show a little horror, but the fresh flesh and blood aura emanating from Liu Zhi's body finally covered up their instinctive fear, and at the same time, the five monsters moved together, but when they were about to get close to Liu Zhi's body, the three heads in front suddenly made a circle again, and finally surrounded Liu Zhi in the middle and pounced together.

Liu Zhi was secretly shocked in his heart: "Divide and encircle, these guys are not low in wisdom!" ”

PS: The two-in-one chapter, because there was something in the morning, I didn't have time to finish it, and I came back in the evening to make up for it, and now it's sent together.
