"Spiritual power is somewhat similar to the internal force in martial arts novels, and it is a prerequisite for practicing the exercises. It can be roughly divided into three realms: the first element, the subtlety, and the return to the source. The higher the realm, the more powerful the exercises can be."

The village chief's analogy is very vivid, which makes Shi Ying quickly understand.

"However," the village chief continued, "The effect of spiritual power is more than that, and when you perceive the attributes, the so-called ability will be formed. At that time, spiritual power was the source of the supernatural powers. ”

"And how do you turn on the ability?"

"Everyone perceives abilities differently, so it's up to you to figure it out."

The village chief's answer suddenly became formulaic, it was obvious that he had fulfilled his obligations as an NPC, and Shi Ying didn't expect to ask anything more from the village chief.

After pondering for a while, Shi Ying decided to go to Fallen Leaf City and find the Spirit Steering Association that Xiao Chuan said in order to obtain more effective information.

There are regular buses between the suburbs, and considering that it costs money to take the bus, she is now poor and has to walk.

It's a few more days to drive, but Deciduous City on the other side of the forest is obviously a place where players gather, and it's much more dangerous than the suburbs.

As she travels through the forest, she can also try to kill a few mobs and earn some experience.

made the decision to enter the city, Shi Ying went to Aunt Lu to say goodbye, and took away a backpack of daily necessities by the way.

When passing by the small courtyard that was chased and killed by chickens before, Shi Ying couldn't help but turn his head to take a look.

The red-stained soil under the trees had not changed, and the chickens in the yard that had been wiped out seemed to have been refreshed, and a few were rummaging in the ground for food.

When you meet that person in the future, you will definitely ask him for clarification.

……

As night approached, the forest grew dark.

Without the thriving atmosphere of the day, accompanied by the unknown sound of insects, this dense forest is particularly gloomy.

The terrain in the forest is not very discerning, and as a road idiot with a very poor sense of direction, even if he compares the map, Shi Ying is still spinning in this forest.

Looking at the darkening sky, Shi Ying couldn't help but sigh.

It's hard to find your way during the day, let alone at night.

It's better to rest early tonight, and then return to the official road early tomorrow morning and move along the highway.

"Sand—"

"Roar—"

Out of nowhere, the sound of the bushes trembling was heard, accompanied by the roar of the beast.

Shi Ying, who was about to sleep, instantly became alert, and carefully identified the source of the sound.

It seems to be getting closer!

Shi Ying made a quick decision and quickly climbed to the treetops more than three meters above the ground.

Having climbed a tree twice in one day to save her life, she never felt the importance of the skill more than she does now.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Shi Ying saw a dark shadow emerging from the shadowy grass and trees in the southwest.

Looking at the figure, it should be a man.

He had a lot of blood on his body and seemed to be suffering from a lot of injuries.

Behind him, the continuous roar of the beast was terrifying.

The man's body shook and he almost fell to the ground, obviously his physical condition no longer allowed him to continue to maintain a high-speed escape state.

Hearing the roar of the furious beast still chasing after him, the fierceness in the man's eyes flashed.

His body was on the verge of collapse, so he simply stopped, resolutely turned around, and had a great posture of breaking the boat.

Suddenly, a scaly monster with a length of nearly three meters slammed out from between the branches, scattering the cracked branches.

The glow in the sky disappeared completely at this moment, and the silver glow of the moonlight reflected a terrifying cold light on the scales of the monster.

Glaring at the human in front of him, a purple glow appeared in the cold eyes of the scaly monster.

Suddenly, the air around it exploded with a visible electric light.

In the blink of an eye, a few little finger-thick currents struck the man in front of the scaly monster.

Is this an ability? Shi Ying couldn't help but hold his breath and remained motionless, in order to shrink his already tiny presence.

The man was obviously not a lamb to be slaughtered, and he saw his feet turn, seemingly easily avoiding the attack.

Then the man's figure did not stop, and he circled to the side of the monster at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye.

A flash of silver light flashed out, and the killing machine was complete.

The short knife drawn from the man's waist struck the scaly monster in the back of the neck with precision, and he was inevitably burned by the electric light around the monster.

The monster's muscles were so tough that the short knife couldn't penetrate completely, and was stuck in the outer muscles.

Helpless, the man had to give up decisively, jumped back, and narrowly avoided the counterattack of the scaly monster.

The monster stabbed by the knife went crazy in pain and rushed straight up, as if it was about to tear the human in front of it apart with its claws.

The man had lost his weapon by this time, and even with his bare hands, he was still unusually calm, and this almost certain death situation did not make his mood fluctuate in the slightest.

At the moment when the scaly monster pounced, the man saw the opportunity, stepped on the monster's head, and turned over and sat on the monster's back.

Punch after punch, quickly hitting the wound where the knife had been pierced.

The monster riding under him was almost crazy in pain, and he shook his body with all his might, trying to shake the damn human off.

The man gripped the jammed knife with one hand, and the other hand continued to attack. The purple electric light around the monster's body flickered wildly, and the man endured the severe pain of the electric shock, but he didn't let out a cry of pain.
