Chapter 38: The Opponent
Looking at Zhang Hao, who is gradually growing step by step, Xiaobai is also full of confidence in this boss, but this boss is sometimes too persistent, and he has to do what he believes, and he can't pull it, so he doesn't want to find an opponent to experiment with without looking at his Jiujiquan and Yanying's nine steps, but he can't find a monk, so he has to hit the idea on the beast in the beast forest, but now Zhang Hao is not what it used to be, where can the beast withstand a few punches, and before Zhang Hao can fully exert himself, he will be killed, so that the beasts in the nearby area rarely haunt and become quiet and abnormalใ
Zhang Hao, who was silent for a while, said, "Today, let's go a few more miles inside to see if there is anything to gain." โ
Xiao Bai hurriedly said, "But it's too much of a place where spirit beasts haunt in the past, and it's not easy for us to get out of encountering too powerful spirit beasts, and if we run into the spirit beast owner again, I'm not sure it's as simple as last time." "It turned out that Zhang Hao also went deep last time, but unfortunately he ran into a spirit beast, as well as its owner, if it wasn't for Xiaobai's timely concealment, he would almost have been discovered.
Zhang Hao saw Xiaobai's old matter brought up again, smiled awkwardly, and said, "This time you lead the way, I will listen to you or not, if you ask me to withdraw, I will withdraw, never say anything!"
"Really?"
"A manly man counts when he speaks!"
Hearing Zhang Hao's promise, Xiaobai was also relieved, and said helplessly, "Okay, then let's go and find it." Zhang Hao was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly put on his clothes and walked towards the depths.
After going five miles deeper, Zhang Hao still didn't find a suitable beast, and just as he was about to give up and go back, a roar suddenly came from nearby, Zhang Hao's eyes lit up, and he kicked his legs hard, and galloped towards the source of the sound.
But in a moment, Zhang Hao felt a smell of blood wafting in front of him, so he instinctively hid himself in the grass, slowly moved forward, opened a gap and looked forward, only to see a huge ape with two people high resting against the tree in a clearing, and not far from its feet was lying a saber-toothed tiger with a flat head and bleeding from the mouth and nose, and it was no longer breathing.
Zhang Hao observed the surroundings and guessed that it should be the saber-toothed tiger to attack the giant ape, and the giant ape directly smashed his head and died. Zhang Hao stared at the giant ape carefully, the tall bodies of the two, the muscles on their arms were as hard as stones, and the alternating black and red hair on his chest made Zhang Hao stunned, and then looked at the giant ape's eyes, a little pale green light.
Zhang Hao suddenly remembered that the spirit beast record he had read from Ma Lao had the name of this giant ape, the first-order spirit beast red-haired ape! In order to have a specific division of the strength of the demon beasts, the strength of the demon beasts is divided into nine orders in the immortal cultivation world, corresponding to the nine realms of human monks, and the first-order demon beasts are equivalent to the monks of the Qi Induction Period among human beings, but not all demon beasts are suitable for this division, and it depends on the detailed types of demon beasts, some demon beasts are pregnant with some thin bloodlines of ancient divine beasts, and their strength will far exceed that of ordinary demon beasts of the same level, and some demon beasts will also have inheritance memories, and the strength is so strong that even a few ordinary demon beasts of the same level can be easily slaughtered, but the probability of the appearance of this kind of demon beast is extremely rare, Just like the appearance of innate spirit bodies among immortal cultivators, there are very few, and this demon beast in front of him is an ordinary first-order demon beast, but it is enough to give ordinary people a headache, thinking of this, Zhang Hao was overjoyed, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "Xiaobai, this is it, what do you think?"
Xiaobai didn't know what Zhang Hao thought when he saw his appearance, so he could only helplessly say, "Its skin is indeed hard enough, but if you take a punch from it, it will inevitably hurt your muscles and bones, in case it hits the vital point, you will have to cultivate for more than half a month." โ
"It's okay, I'm measured, this spirit beast is full of wildness, it shouldn't have been subdued by Danzong, so I'm not afraid of other monks interfering, I can't miss such a good opportunity." After speaking, Zhang Hao slowly became excited, ready to take the initiative to attack.
The giant ape who had rested in the field stood upright, dragged up the saber-toothed tiger and was about to leave, Zhang Hao kicked hard with both feet, jumped up, clenched his fists with both hands, continued to accumulate strength, and punched the giant ape, Jiuji Boxing!
The giant ape, which was alarmed by the fist wind, turned around, its tall body was not slow at all, blocking it in front of it with a bucket-like arm, stopping Zhang Hao's blow, and his fists were handed over, Zhang Hao only felt like hitting a stone, and his arm was sore, seeing that a blow could not be achieved, he stomped on the ground with one foot, jumped back, and a man and a beast looked at each other, looking at each other.
Shaking his numb fist, Zhang Hao scolded, "It's really hard as a stone." The giant ape looked at Zhang Hao's provocative movements, roared angrily, and came to Zhang Hao's side in two steps, raised his arms, and slammed down.
Zhang Hao was startled, he didn't expect the giant ape to move so quickly, and hurriedly retreated, stepping on a strange footwork in two steps to jump away, as soon as he left, the ground where he was standing was smashed out of a big pit by the giant ape, and the dust was billowing. The giant ape's eyes were even more fierce after a blow, and he jumped into the air, pulled his fist directly behind him, and swung out towards Zhang Hao, who didn't have time to think about it, Zhang Hao rolled to the side, and will dodge, and the big tree with the thickness of the bucket behind him was directly interrupted from it, and fell to the ground weakly with a creak.
"What a strong attack!" Zhang Hao, who was secretly frightened, stared at him, didn't dare to be careless, his feet were staggered, his body was slightly heavy, and he kicked it hard, and his body burst out, leaving two shallow footprints on the ground, and then stepped on a strange footwork like a flying swallow flickering left and right, instantly approaching the back of the giant ape, charging his fists, and swinging directly at the back of the giant ape, the giant ape who was in pain roared, and his right arm swept back.
Zhang Hao jumped up, spun his body in mid-air, aimed his elbow at the head of the giant ape and smashed it down, and secretly shouted in his heart that the nine pole fist was a heavy dark energy! The giant ape sensed it but was too late to block, so he took the elbow hard, and directly let out a muffled sound of "bang", and the giant ape fell straight to the ground with a wail.
Zhang Hao's chest rose and fell, obviously the blow just now also consumed a lot of physical strength, his arms trembled slightly, accompanied by a tingling feeling, and said with a wry smile, "It's so strong to rebound with a layer of dark energy, and the physical requirements are really perverted!"
Zhang Hao didn't think about it, he reflexively retreated back, the giant ape suddenly bounced up, and threw a punch at Zhang Hao, who could not avoid it, had to hit this blow with his fists, only to feel a huge force coming, directly blasting Zhang Hao upside down, and only stopped after breaking a big tree and rolling a few times.
The throat was sweet, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he felt that the bones in his body were about to fall apart, looking at the giant ape chasing over, Zhang Hao supported the ground with both palms, and slapped up, Yan Ying took nine steps! The figure galloped up, dodged the blow of the giant ape, and then rolled over, jumped into the grass, and disappeared.
The giant ape's eyes were red when he couldn't find his target, and he angrily destroyed the surroundings before he unwillingly dragged the saber-toothed tiger corpse away.
After making sure that the giant ape was far away, the grass turned up, and Zhang Hao walked out of it in embarrassment, his face looking a little pale. Said depressedly: "I almost planted it! I didn't expect a spirit beast to cheat." โ
Xiao Bai was angry and angry, "Spirit beasts have a certain amount of spiritual intelligence, the more high-level spirit beasts will not be much worse than humans in spiritual intelligence, they are not immovable stone walls, if you can make reasonable use of your advantages, although you can't win, but you won't lose, this kind of wild spirit beasts are only grown and survived in the fight, naturally much stronger than you." โ
Zhang Hao nodded approvingly, "That's right, it seems that I still have to continue to work hard, but what Chunyang said is right, only in actual combat can I experience the true meaning of Jiujiquan, although I failed miserably this time, I saw many of my shortcomings, and I will go to it for revenge when I practice again!"
For Zhang Hao's attitude of not being discouraged and summarizing his own weaknesses, Chunyang and the three of them were still very pleased, and Chunyang also deliberately came out to correct Zhang Hao's shortcomings, and then slowly returned to the valley to continue practicing.
