Chapter 251. Inner ghosts

"But again, there is no cap on the amount of wood, and whoever provides more wood will have better quality of the wooden house he lives in, so let's start now."

After the "shemale" finished speaking, he jumped and landed on the tallest ancient tree, sitting cross-legged on the top of the tree, although there was only a small branch, but the "shemale" was like a feather, the weight was very light, sitting on the branch, carefully observing the behavior of the people.

"Cutting down trees? Can this also be considered training? ”

"What can you do with something that isn't even a spiritual weapon?"

"Don't say that, since it was sent to us, it must be useful, everyone brings one with them, in case there is a need later."

After some discussion, the trainees who participated in the training stepped forward one after another, took away an axe, and walked towards the forest in groups of three or five.

"I thought I could pick up a bargain, but it doesn't look stupid."

Ning Xu shook his head, took an axe and held it in his hand, and observed it carefully.

"What are you looking at? I think there are only a limited number of trees in this place, and if we don't hurry, we don't think we'll be able to get much wood. ”

Styx took an axe and looked at Ning Xu with a little worry.

"These axes are not simple." Ning Xu stood up, and at this time, only himself and Styx were left in the field, and the others had already walked into the forest.

Even if each person had taken one, there were still about twenty axes scattered on the ground.

Ning Xu swept the axe, the ordinary one-handed axe should not be very heavy, but this axe made Ning Xu feel a little heavy.

The flesh that has been strengthened by spiritual power feels that this thing is too heavy, let alone ordinary people?

"I'll take a few handles, you take a few more, anyway, our space props are big enough, it's nothing to pack them all up, I have a hunch that this thing will be of great use."

Ning Xu whispered, and at the same time, a flash of spiritual light spread out in his hand, shrouding part of the axe and putting it away.

Styx also used space props to pack more than a dozen axes, although she was a little puzzled, but Ning Xu had never done that kind of senseless thing, and decorating the axes was nothing, so she didn't refute anything.

After collecting the axes, the two of them also walked towards the forest.

"It seems that the students of the Second Academy of the Imperial Capital are not bad, at least they are not as arrogant as the students of the Imperial Capital Spiritual Pastoral Academy, they rely on summoning beasts and disdain the axes we provide."

The air around the "shemale" fluctuated, and a person squeezed out of the air and suspended in the air, looking at the aura exuded by his body was on par with the "shemale", and he turned out to be a viscount.

This is a female viscount, she wears a Taoist robe, and has a long sword under her feet, like a legendary sword fairy.

"So what? An axe doesn't last long, but it's the eldest brother, and our little brother is not simple, and the remaining dozen axes are all packed and taken away. ”

The "ladyboy" seemed to be a little dismissive of the baronesse's words, and he looked at the many students in the forest, and his tone was quite indifferent.

"These are all good things, the boss is going to feel distressed, but since they are all in the hands of his younger brother, then he probably won't feel distressed."

"So, it's really stupid to give up because of disdain, but it's because of prudence, and it's not much better to just carry an axe."

"Chance never waits for anyone, heh, it seems that they will understand this truth this time."

——————

"This is it." There are not many trees in the forest near the bus, and almost every tree has a person waving a tool to cut down.

The two of them wandered around the forest for a long time before they found two trees that had not been chosen for removal, but they were ......

"It's too detailed." Ning Xu squinted his eyes and looked at the tree in front of him, compared to other trees, this tree was really young.

The trunk is only the thickness of the mouth of the bowl, unlike other ancient trees, and the trunk must be surrounded by at least one person to measure its thickness.

"Forget it, there are trees to cut down anyway, it's a big deal to go over there and cut them later." Ning Xu raised his head and looked into the distance through the gap between the trees, where there was another forest, the trees were extremely luxuriant, and the edge could not be seen at a glance.

The dull sound of chopping trees kept coming from nearby, Ning Xu hesitated for a while, and instead of taking out the short-handled axe that he had put away before, he took out the battle axe he used from the space props.

The double-bladed long-handled battle axe looked terrifying, he held the handle of the axe with both hands, and in the midst of the surge of spiritual power, the giant axe slashed down.

With a bang, the giant axe was like a sound of slashing on a steel plate, and the reaction force acted on Ning Xu's hand through the handle of the axe, and his tiger's mouth burst open.

And on that small tree, only shallow axe marks remained, turquoise sap flowed from the wounds, and the chips in the trunk were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"What the hell is this?" Ning Xu put away the battle axe and looked at the small tree with some surprise, very puzzled.

It's self-healing, and it's so hard -- what the hell is this?

Ning Xu thought for a moment, took out a short-handled axe that he had taken away before, held it in his hand, and slashed lightly towards the wound left before.

He didn't dare to push too hard, the previous shock had already injured him, and if he did it again, I was afraid it would affect the next felling.

The hand axe was not as hard as expected, as if it were just an ordinary tree, and the hand axe smoothly slashed into the trunk, and a shock came from the handle of the axe again.

It's just that this shock is too weak, even for ordinary people, let alone professionals?

Sure enough, they were very useful in distributing these axes, and if everyone who used the spirit weapon to cut down would be shocked like I had before, then this time it would be much more difficult.

If this kind of shock is only because of spiritual weapons, then it is good to say that even if you don't use spiritual weapons, some professions can still swing energy attacks such as sword energy, and the cutting efficiency will be much higher than this short-handled axe.

But if it is for spiritual power, then without a short-handled axe, it is much more difficult to harvest this kind of wood, then you need to fight to be counterattacked, cut down branches, make wooden axes and wooden wedges, and use the most primitive method to cut down trees, but fortunately it is a professional, otherwise you can die of exhaustion by cutting trees like this.

However, in this way, ten catties of wood, which was originally very simple for professionals, has become a big problem.

While Ning Xu was thinking, the other students had already realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Wind Blade!" A coquettish reprimand sounded, and a female student pushed with both hands, and the rich wind element gathered in his palm, constantly accumulating and compressing, forming a half-moon-shaped invisible qi blade flying out.

The wind blade slashed through the air, leaving ripples in its wake, and the air currents that made up the wind blade were extremely fast, which also made it extremely sharp, not to mention wood, and even thinner pieces of iron could be cut.

In front of everyone's eyes, such a sharp wind blade slashed at the ancient tree, leaving only a shallow white trace.

"Is that really the case?" Ning Xu stroked the small tree, his heart was a little heavy, and a spiritual power was condensed in his hand, touching the trunk.

The aura of fire touched the trunk of the tree, but it was devoured by the trunk in just a few seconds.

Ning Xu knocked the trunk of the tree with his hand, and the trunk that devoured the spiritual power became extremely hard, and the place where it could be reached was cold, and it seemed to be much harder than the same volume of steel.

"Devouring aura, and then becoming so hard, it's really not an ordinary tree!" Ning Xu shook his head, picked up the one-handed axe in his hand and was about to continue cutting.

With a flash of light out of the corner of his eye, Ning Xu was suddenly stunned, he hurriedly took the axe and observed it carefully, there was a slight gap in the blade of the hand axe.

"That's not right, it was still intact before, could it be that the blade of the axe broke when the hand axe came into contact with the tree?"

His face was a little ugly, but after thinking about it for a while, he figured it out again, this axe is the most ordinary iron axe, and this tree is a kind of spiritual material, and it is natural that this axe can't stand it, if the axe is completely undamaged, it would be strange.

"It's forcing us to make wooden axes." Ning Xu sighed, but quickly perked up. "But luckily, I have dozens of axes in my hands, even one axe can only cut one tree, and I have enough axes."

Thinking of this, he put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, picked up the axe and continued to cut down trees, as for the difficulty of others cutting trees, what does it have to do with him?

They are here to participate in the Imperial Capital University Professional League, and they are just to better control the power, as long as the dark night can complete this task, no one else has anything to do with him.

There is no connection of common interests between them at all.

One axe, another axe, I don't know if it's because of the special nature of the axe, or if it didn't absorb the aura, the tree could still secrete green liquid to repair itself, but now it is constantly cut down by the hand axe, but its repair efficiency is almost close to zero.

With a click, the small tree slowly fell, and Ning Xu's body suddenly relaxed.

"Why are you so tired?" Ning Xu moved his hands and feet, and a feeling of soreness burst out from every corner of his body, even before he embarked on the path of cultivation, he was not so tired from running hard for the physical education exam.

His feet went limp, and his whole body collapsed to the ground, but at this moment, his expression suddenly became a little strange.

"This is, this is spiritual power! Such pure spiritual power! ”

A stream of spiritual power poured out of the axe, with a trace of life, that spiritual power was not much, but it was incomparably pure, almost the moment it flowed into the veins, it was transformed into spiritual power.

The pure spiritual power hooked the remaining life essence in the body, and streams of thunder essence continued to drill out, quickly being devoured by the hungry cells.

The exhaustion continued to fade when refining this spiritual power, and the outpouring of thunder essence made Ning Xu feel as if he was soaked in a hot spring, warm and comfortable.

"Whew!"

After completely devouring that spiritual power, Ning Xu slowly opened his eyes and stood up.

"There has been slight progress in cultivation."

Ning Xu's heart was excited, it was faint to say, but it was not easy to make progress that could be clearly felt.

"The thunder essence accumulated in the body has also been refined a lot, this thing is indeed a treasure, but if there are too many of them, it will become a bottleneck like when the knight was in the middle rank, hindering my progress."

"However, this spiritual power is indeed pure, if it weren't for the fact that cutting down trees before consumed a lot of spiritual power, so that most of the pure spiritual power was used to replenish spiritual power, the progress would not be only this."

This kind of tree can indeed absorb the spiritual power contained in the pure energy attack, and even the spiritual power that pushes the spiritual weapon, but when it is cut down, it can also use the spiritual power to support the consumption of the human body and strengthen the physical body.

And the previous cutting not only exhausted his physical strength, but also consumed a lot of spiritual power.

"Invite the viscount to sit in town, and also arrange this kind of tree, I think it should be the old brother's doing, tsk, this is really not small, such as improving cultivation, the foundation is extremely stable, and the cultivation speed will not be too slow."

If you continue to consume spiritual power, and then replenish it, your cultivation will make some slight progress, so that there will definitely be no unstable cultivation after cultivation, because this kind of progress can be said to be a progress that can only be obtained after all kinds of polishing.

Only this kind of progress is the right path in cultivation.

No one knew why this was the case, but combined with the cultivation experience of countless people, after it became popularized, it became a common sense.

"Go on!" Ning Xu looked at the axe in his hand, the blade of the axe had been mostly damaged, only the middle part was still very intact, and there was no damage in the slightest.

Although Ning Xu had already cut down a tree trunk, the others were still silently cutting down trees, and the trees they were going to cut down were even larger, often before a tree was cut down, their physical strength and spiritual power had already been exhausted.

Ning Xu picked up the cut tree trunk and walked in the direction of the bus, although the rule is that robbery is not allowed, but who knows if there will be anyone who is desperate and runs to make trouble.

It's better to turn it in as soon as possible to be safer.

……

"Well, two catties, you still need eight catties of wood."

"Only two pounds?" Ning Xu frowned, although this tree is relatively small, but after all, it is a tree, how can it only be two catties.

"Then ask yourself." The "shemale" rolled her eyes. "If this kind of tree doesn't absorb spiritual power, it is actually very light, the more spiritual power it absorbs, the heavier it will be, you have drained all its spiritual power, it is equivalent to foam now, how can it be heavy?"

"There is such a strange thing in the world!" Ning Xu couldn't help but admire. "That's right, then I'll go cut down some more trees."

He picked up his axe and rushed into the forest in a hurry, and in the short time that he had handed in the timber, many of the hand axes he was carrying had been damaged, and they were trying to get the branches and try to make them into wooden axes to continue cutting down the trees.

The tree that is being cut down by others cannot be snatched, but if the wooden axe is processed at this time, it is not cutting the tree, then the tree can be cut down by others.

If you don't cut down a tree, you have to forcibly occupy a tree, which is called unreasonable.

"Excuse me, I'm going to cut down this tree." Ning Xu smiled and looked at a male student who was making a wooden axe.

"An axe, I'll give it to you."
