Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years!

After listening to Xu Xia's introduction, Lu Yu had a feeling of being stunned, he had never known what body refining was all about before, but now he found that body refining cultivation was even more difficult than refining qi, and there was a feeling of unreality.

Xu Xia Shen said mysteriously: "In fact, many monks are secretly refining their bodies, although they have little effect in a short period of time, but if they persist, the harvest will be greater than the pay." ”

"Brother Xu is also a double cultivator?" Xia Yueming seemed to know Xu Xia again.

"It's just a little bit of a success, hehe!"

Xu Xia said with a smug face: "The first order of the wood realm, it will not play a big role in the scientific examination, if it is the second order of the wood realm, the second class may have some hope." ”

Xia Yueming never dreamed that his classmates were hiding so deeply, and the target of this scientific expedition turned out to be the top two.

The annual acceptance rate of the scientific examination is one percent, and the admission rate of the second class is one in 10,000.

"In this way, is your fourth layer of qi refining about to break through?"

"It's hard to say!"

This time, Xu Xia said modestly: "I only broke through to the fourth layer of qi refining a year ago, and if I want to break through to the fifth layer of qi refining, the foundation is still a little lacking, unless there is any opportunity." ”

Xia Yueming felt a little more comfortable in his heart, if Xu Xia's realm could reach the fifth level of qi refining, plus the second order of the body refining wood realm, it was almost a certainty to enter the second grade.

The Great Sage Dynasty has a population of tens of billions, and the number of cultivators is nearly 100 million, and the triennial imperial examination gathers three or four million monks of the Great Sage Dynasty.

Every time there is a scientific expedition, each major sect will secretly send some outer disciples to participate, these monks may not be conspicuous among the major sects, but in the scientific expedition of the Great Holy Dynasty, they all belong to the pride of the sky, and their goal is also to rank above the second grade.

Once these people enter the court of the Great Sage Dynasty, they are the spokesmen of the various sects, and they have the support of the sects behind them.

These people basically divided up the quota of the second class, and there were really not many opportunities left for ordinary monks in the end, plus there were less than two months left before the scientific examination, even with the help of the system, Lu Yu did not have the slightest chance, which may also be the reason why the system gave super high skill points.

While enjoying the scenery and drinking wine in the maple forest, the three of them also relaxed, ready to wait for the meal to leave.

At this moment, a miserable scream came from the maple forest, and before the three of them could react to what was happening, they saw the coachman jump on the roof of the car and look into the distance, and then shouted: "Childe, a monster was found in the river ahead, and someone was dragged into the river by the monster." ”

Xu Xia, who was a little drunk, jumped up from the ground and said, "Go over and take a look!" ”

Xia Yueming wanted to turn around and get into the carriage and leave, but when she saw that Xu Xia had already run towards the river in front of her, she was entangled in her heart and followed.

When Lu Yu came to this world, he hadn't seen any powerful beasts, and when he saw that the two had already run over, he thought about it and followed behind, but after walking a few steps, he remembered that Xu Xia had said that there were long knives and bows and arrows in the trunk of the carriage, so he turned around and took out the long knives and bows and arrows from the trunk and followed.

When Lu Yu came to the river, he found that in the river water that was seven or eight feet wide, a big black fish with a body length of five or six meters was biting a desperately struggling person in its mouth, and it was about to swallow that person into its stomach.

Xu Xia on the shore said excitedly: "It's a black catfish, still underage, maybe there is an unformed spirit core in the body, and the catfish whisker is also a good weapon material, this time we have made a fortune." ”

Tianlan world beasts are divided into six categories: domestic animals, fierce beasts, monsters, spirit beasts, divine beasts and holy beasts, domestic animals are naturally chickens, ducks, cattle and horses tamed by humans, etc., the fierce beasts are relatively the lowest threat, the monsters are second, the biggest threat is the spirit beasts, usually the divine beasts can rarely be seen, the strongest strength, but most of them are in a state of peace with humans, and human beings will not easily provoke the divine beasts, among which the holy beasts are the most special, and they also belong to the category of divine beasts, many of which are raised from the spirit beasts in captivity, and become the guardian beasts of the human mountain protection and earthquake religion.

There is no clear dividing line between beasts, monsters and spirit beasts, beasts can evolve into monsters, and monsters can also become spirit beasts, the main difference is their spiritual intelligence, beasts basically only have ferocious instincts, while spirit beasts already have a certain amount of intelligence, under normal circumstances, they will not take the initiative to appear within the range of human activities, so it is usually difficult to see.

When you find a monster in the Maple Grove River, you don't know whether to say it's lucky or unlucky.

Xu Xia raised the folding fan in his hand and fired three poisonous needles at the black catfish's head, and the poisonous needles hit the black catfish's head, making a 'clanging' sound, but it didn't pierce the black catfish's hard head.

Xu Xia's face changed, his target was not the big head of the black catfish, but the fish eyes of the black catfish, but unfortunately the black catfish monster reacted quickly, blocking the attack of the poisonous needle with a hard fish head.

The black catfish monster was hiding in the river, Xu Xia didn't dare to go down to the river to fight the black catfish monster in close quarters, except for the folding fan in his hand, there was no other way.

Xia Yueming held the dagger in his hand and stood aside to watch out for it.

At this time, Xu Xia saw Lu Yu running over, found the bow and arrow on Lu Yu's back and said, "Can you use a bow and arrow?" ”

In the system panel, Lu Yu's bow and arrow level is evaluated as 'rough pass', but Lu Yu thinks that his bow and arrow level is not bad, and it can be regarded as training since childhood, not as good as archers, but I don't know how much stronger than ordinary people.

Lu Yu's father is a skilled worker in a sporting goods factory, and the unit also produces bows and arrows and other sporting goods, resulting in Lu Yu using bows and arrows since he was a child, and later participated in the archery association in college, and his archery skills have never been left behind.

"It should be okay!"

"That's good, shoot me in the eyes of the black catfish!"

Xu Xia's idea was very simple, let Lu Yu attract the attention of the black catfish, and find an opportunity to sneak attack the black catfish monster himself.

The black catfish monster already had a little bit of intelligence, and when he saw three people on the shore and found food again, he didn't want to fight, and the fish wanted to go deeper into the lower part when he bit the man in his mouth.

"Chase!"

Lu Yu didn't immediately catch up, took out an arrow and put it on the bowstring, aiming at the black catfish.

The black catfish monster almost knew what the three of them wanted to do, and wanted to sink the huge fish head to the bottom of the river, but unfortunately the river was not deep, and even if it could hide the fish body in the water, there were many fish bodies exposed.

Lu Yu adjusted his breathing, relaxed his body as much as possible, and stared at the fish eyes of the black catfish.

"Ten meters!"

"Fifteen meters!"

"Twenty meters!"

The black catfish monster is very fast in the water, and if it weren't for the bite of a person in its mouth and the low water level upstream, it is estimated that it would have escaped at this time.

"Shoot fast!"

Xu Xia was a little anxious, and gave the black catfish a few more breaths, and when he left the upstream, he would have no chance to kill the black catfish monster.

Lu Yu let go of the arrow in his hand, and the arrow crossed a straight line, and landed on the black catfish's eye socket with a "ding" sound, and it almost hit the black catfish's eye a few centimeters.

Seeing that Lu Yu missed an arrow, Xu Xia couldn't care much more, and found an opportunity to shoot three more poisonous needles into the eyes of the black catfish, but unfortunately this time he was also dodged by the black catfish monster shaking his head.

"Keep up, we have one more chance!"

At the same time that Xu Xia shot a poisonous needle at the black catfish, Lu Yu rushed forward more than thirty meters in the shortest time, standing in front of the head of the black catfish, the violent movement made Lu Yu's heart 'thump', and his hand holding the bow and arrow trembled a little.

"Gotta hold it off!"

There was no need for Xu Xia to remind him, Lu Yu also knew how difficult it was to kill a black catfish, if it weren't for the black catfish monster running upstream of the river to forage for food, such an opportunity would never be found.

Lu Yu didn't hesitate any longer, and took out two arrows from the quiver, one on the bowstring, and the other between his fingers, calmed down his breath a little, and shot an arrow into the eyes of the black catfish.

Lu Yu's arrows didn't hurt the black catfish monster very much, but the black catfish monster didn't want to be shot in the eye by the arrow, and when he saw Lu Yu's arrow get out of his hand, the fish's head quickly sank down, and he could just dodge Lu Yu's arrow.

It's a pity that the black catfish monster does not have human wisdom, Lu Yu's arrow is simply paralyzing the black catfish, while the black catfish monster's head sinks, the second arrow is also on the bowstring, the whole process does not even have half a breath, has been aimed at the black catfish's fish eye again, in the black catfish monster fish head avoided the previous arrow, the fish head touched the bottom of the river and had to be lifted, the second arrow also came out of the string.

"It's up to you!"

Lu Yu didn't look at the second arrow when he shot it, but reminded Xu Xia, who was already standing by his side.

Xu Xia also became nervous, not because he was afraid, but because he was worried that he would be run away by the black catfish.

This time, Lu Yu's second arrow hit the black catfish monster in the gap between its eyes and eye sockets, although it did not cause much damage to the black catfish, but it caused a lot of interference to the black catfish.

Xu Xia's timing was also very good, almost when Lu Yu's second arrow hurt the black catfish, the folding fan in his hand shot out three poisonous needles again, this time the two poisonous needles shot into the eyes of the black catfish, and actually shot directly into the head of the black catfish monster through the fish's eyes.

I don't know if it was the poisonous needle that entered the brain, or the toxin effect on the poisonous needle, almost at the same time that the poisonous needle was shot into the black catfish's brain, the black catfish monster became crazy, turned around and rushed towards the three people on the shore.

"Spread out!"

Xu Xia's words were still too late, plus the three of them were standing on the shore, and the black catfish monster could attack the three people on the shore as long as he turned around.

The black catfish monster's attack and turn were almost at the same moment, which the three of them did not expect, two silver-white catfish whiskers whipped towards the three of them, and the catfish that didn't seem to be too long suddenly stretched a lot at this moment, but fortunately, with Xu Xia's reminder, the three of them all crawled backwards with rolling belts.
