Chapter 18: Killing the Bear
The sky was cloudy, gloomy and oppressive.
The summer rain is continuous, quietly moistening the mountains.
On the edge of the mossy and green rock, Ji Fan held a long sword, hid in a bush on the mountainside, and silently watched the cave seven zhang away, unaware of the rain.
It was raining during the day, the sky was dark, and the rain could also dilute the smell of blood, and on the third day after settling down on the mountain, Ji Fanjue felt that this rain provided an opportunity to explore the beasts in the mountains.
"Counting it up, the trial of the disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect in the Burial Spirit Mountain Range should also start today. Ji Fan, who was lying in the grass, looked up at the sky, still vigilant about the external situation.
After waiting in the rain for an hour, he didn't find any movement in the cave that was not far away, so Ji Fan grabbed the package containing some big fist stones and tried to quietly approach the cave.
Because of the darkness in the cave, Ji Fan couldn't see anything, but he didn't plan to go in, but took out a stone from the package and threw the stone into the cave with his right hand.
"Whew!"
The stone cut through the rain curtain with great force, and when it entered the cave, there was a loud bang.
"Wow~~~"
Just as Ji Fan listened to the sound of being hit by a stone, not like hitting the stone wall, the roar of the furious beast soon came out of the cave.
"锃~~~"
Ji Fan stepped back and threw aside the package containing the stones, and immediately pulled out the long sword from the scabbard.
The rain grew heavier, and the raindrops hit the sword with a buzzing sound.
A huge black shadow appeared at the mouth of the cave, and its eyes emitted a violent cold light.
"Sure enough!"
Finding that the black shadow at the entrance of the cave was a brown bear on all fours and tall, Ji Fan tightened the hilt of the sword held in his right hand.
The iron axe and the fine iron hammer were placed under the big tree not very far from the cave by Ji Fan, observing the fat accumulation, looking at the extremely strong giant bear, he was also thinking about whether the sharp sword could cause serious damage to it.
"Boom!"
Finding Ji Fan, the giant bear roared angrily and rushed out.
"Kill!"
Ji Fan didn't retreat again, his right foot slammed into the ground to meet the bear, and the sword went sideways, aiming at the brown bear's flank.
"Snort~~~"
I saw Ji Fan and the brown bear exerting force at the same time, the figures in the rain were staggered, and the sword aura burst out, piercing the brown bear's fur with one sword.
"Bang!"
Ji Fan, who couldn't pull out the long sword in time, was also suddenly turned around and slapped his right shoulder with a palm by the brown bear's roar, blasting his figure away.
Although Ji Fan realized that the brown bear was furious, he didn't expect it to fight so fiercely.
Ji Fan, who was slapped upside down by the claws of the brown bear and crashed into a thick tree, didn't wait for a breath of relief, and saw the brown bear rushing over.
"Poof~~~"
In the face of the crisis, Ji Fan used the big tree to dodge the sharp and powerful bear claw attack of the brown bear, and fled in a circle of half a circle.
The big tree was grabbed by the brown bear's claws, and the sawdust flew all over the place, leaving shocking claw marks, in Ji Fan's feeling, the brown bear's bear claws attacked and bitten, quite fierce, and this wildness was far stronger than that of the warrior.
Running to the place where the iron axe was placed, Ji Fan picked up the axe with a short body, and did not run far, but relied on the big tree to maneuver with the brown bear that caught up.
Ji Fan, who was holding an axe in his left hand, also had extraordinary ruthlessness, and when he caught the opportunity, he would chop his head and face on the brown bear's head.
Although Ji Fan used the big tree to block the damage, the wild reaction and ferocious fight of the brown bear did not fall behind, and when one person and one bear attacked, blood was splashed.
The brown bear's face was cut with an axe with three deep wounds, his nose was chopped open, and one eye was also cut blind, but in the end, it was Ji Fan who was defeated by the iron axe in the brown bear's counterattack.
The flesh and blood on his left arm and shoulders were blurred, the flesh was rolled up and the bones were visible, Ji Fan escaped in defeat and picked up the sledgehammer, and his momentum was no longer as good as the brown bear that caught up.
"Why aren't you dead......
When he arrived at a mountain wall retreat that he had found in advance, he couldn't help but worry about the strength of the brown bear's vitality and combat effectiveness when he looked at the right abdomen of the chasing brown bear and the long sword that had not reached the hilt.
In the face of the brown bear that was chasing with a roar, although Ji Fan held the hammer, he did not hesitate, in order to reduce the impact force of two zhang high, the fine iron sledgehammer was thrown and jumped down from the mountain wall.
"Boom!"
The brown bear seemed to have red eyes, and he threw himself into the air at Ji Fan, and actually fell down from the mountain wall.
In a hurry, Ji Fan, who landed on the ground, rolled forward and escaped, quickly widening the distance from the brown bear that fell, and didn't care about picking up the sledgehammer.
"Whew, whew!"
Fleeing into the distance, he found that the giant bear was under the stone wall, struggling to get up, and the crazy momentum began to fall back, and Ji Fan gasped for breath.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, but Ji Fan could still smell the bloody smell of his own wounds, and the feet under which he was standing were quickly stained red with blood.
"Whew......"
The brown bear rushed two steps towards Ji Fan, but in the end, it was still crooked, and he fell to the ground with a bang, and his roar was obviously weak.
Ji Fan didn't step forward, and he didn't have any joy, the price of killing this brown bear was still too big for him, looking at the injuries on his arms and shoulders, chest, and flesh, he couldn't help but worry about what to do in the future.
The resources in his hands are limited, and Ji Fan feels that if he doesn't fight, it will be difficult for him to kill this bear.
Standing in the rain for a while, until the brown bear's voice became smaller and smaller, and the air was more out and less air in, Ji Fan went around and picked up the fine iron hammer, and tentatively came to the brown bear.
"Boom~~~"
Ji Fan held a sledgehammer in his right hand, and smashed the huge head of the brown bear with his hand, smashing it into seven holes and bleeding, and there was no sound, and he pulled out the long sword that was inserted into the bear's belly without a hilt.
A stream of blood rushed out from the sword hole in the bear's belly, spraying Ji Fan's face and chest.
Compared to Ji Fan's body, the brown bear is too big, and it is two adults tall when it stands up.
Taking advantage of the rain, Ji Fan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly disemboweled the brown bear and killed the flesh.
A big bear, Ji Fan took half a day to deal with the fur and bear meat, one by one on the edge of the stream under the mountain.
When it was dark, Ji Fan took the washed brown bear fur, bear meat, and bear bile back to the cave covered by trees and vines, and began to put the medicinal powder left by the hunchbacked old man Chen Gengnian, and wrapped himself in bandages.
Killing a bear, killing a loss, but living in the same mountain, Ji Fan does not kill a bear, afraid that one day it will be more passive.
Bear bile has to wait until the weather improves, before it can be dried and dried and made into bear bile powder, and there is a lot of bear meat, Ji Fan found a small piece, took it to his mouth and ate it raw, regardless of the bloody taste, and chewed it in small bites.
Although today's trial of the disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect in the Burial Spirit Mountain Range should have begun, according to Ji Fan's estimate, it would take twenty or thirty days to calm down relatively well, and he would have to wait for a while before he could get on the road.
Right now, Ji Fan is injured, bear meat is a rare food supplement, and he can't make a fire on a rainy day, so he eats bear meat raw to survive.
After eating a piece of bear meat, Ji Fan endured the pain and discomfort, sat cross-legged and let go of the devouring sensation of the flesh, and cultivated the strange washing diagram.
"The true element that the physical body can produce is really too little, and it is not rich by devouring the aura of the outside world!" Ji Fan sighed in his heart, when he had just killed the bear, he was still too nervous and anxious, and he didn't try to let go of the devouring power of the brown bear.
"There are also two caves on this mountain, and there may be brown bears, maybe you can try it later. Ji Fan felt the physical injury and felt that he couldn't continue to kill the bear right away.
As the night deepened, a cool breeze blew heavy rain.
The sky is covered with dark clouds, and the rain curtain interweaves the heaven and the earth, and melts into an inky cloud with the rolling mountains.
Click!
The sky suddenly lit up, and a blood-like red lightning pierced the sky, and then suddenly disappeared, making people's hearts palpitate.
There are not many newly generated true elements in the body, and the previous true yuan is trapped in the esophagus and is under pressure, and it is difficult to mobilize, Ji Fan, who has been cultivating for a while, is more aware of how the dragon ape ape ape can emit dragon patterns to the body and forge dragon tendons and bones.
"Whew~~~"
In the cave in the middle of the night, Ji Fan exhaled a little and stopped the cultivation of the Washing Diagram.
The meridians were empty, and it was difficult to give birth to many true elements, which made Ji Fan a little helpless.
Moved to the entrance of the cave, Ji Fan took out the small metal gourd, but the tenroflower texture on the surface of the gourd did not secrete a little brilliance like before.
The little gourd secretes brilliance, whether there is a law or not, Ji Fan is observing, but he is not sure.
In Ji Fan's mind, the little gourd should not secrete brilliance for no reason, and the Wanhua texture completely buried the slightly raised dragon ape, and it overflowed with brilliance.
Tried to use his mood to communicate with the metal gourd, but to no avail for a while, Ji Fan had no choice but to put the little gourd aside.
"Zi!
Ji Fan stretched out his right hand and grabbed a damp vine at the entrance of the cave, letting go of the hunger and thirst in his body, and soon devoured wisps of life essence from the vine.
Watching the vines slowly wither, Ji Fan's eyes couldn't help but widen.
Until the vines could no longer devour the breath of life, Ji Fan practiced qi cleansing, and soon found that some true qi was born in the meridians, and urged the true qi to perform according to the special path of the cleansing diagram, and his flesh also began to steam.
"I didn't expect to be able to directly devour the aura of foreign objects, but compared to the little brilliance emitted by the small gourd, the aura of devouring the tree vine with the body seems to be mixed a lot, and it is not so pure. Ji Fan silently sensed his own situation.
The wood spirit makes a fire, coupled with the refining of the true qi by the Cleansing Diagram, the true element that can be absorbed by the Trick Diagram is only about one-tenth.
"If you can devour the vitality of the vines, then the old trees and brown bears can also do it. Ji Fan thought about it, but the rain was still heavy outside, and he was injured and powdered, so he was not suitable to get out of the cave immediately.
However, after practicing for a while, Ji Fan felt a little uncomfortable, as if there was a faint aura in his body, which was incompatible with his own breath, and he couldn't immediately grasp the faint strange breath.
"It still seems that something is wrong, and the mood is also restless, is it not adaptable, or will this direct devouring of external spirits cause a negative effect?" Ji Fan tried his best to relax and adjust.
