Chapter Twenty-Three: Ascension Again
"Ambition dies before it is rewarded!"
Jiang Hua smiled bitterly and gently rubbed his somewhat sour stomach, and he hadn't eaten for a whole day. From discovering the new environment yesterday to officially exploring it today, Jiang Hua has only eaten two meals of wild fruits. After Jiang Hua made a plan yesterday, he didn't enter this new jungle immediately, he ran all night, although he was tired after cultivating the body refinement, he still decided to rest on the periphery for one night, and talk about it the next day.
Early this morning, Jiang Hua smashed a mark with a stone on a tree trunk, and then set off with confidence. He thought that herbs could be found on the edges, and there should be a lot of food here, but he ignored one thing, even if the food was all over the ground, it was a question whether you dared to eat it, you didn't know it! And there was not a single animal along the way, so Jiang Hua was hungry for almost a day, so he had to rethink his survival plan.
"Sister Mu, I'm sorry, in order for us all to live, I must open your Mu family's relics, forgive me!" Jiang Hua thought about it again and again, the only way was to restart the Mu family's relics, there were a lot of introductions to herbs on it, and if you want to eat non-toxic plants, that's the only way.
Jiang Hua is not a pedantic person, he is in a hurry, and the top priority is to find non-toxic food to survive, and Sister Mu's mother and daughter have to rely on him to save him.
Mu Jian opened it again, even if it was the second time, Jiang Hua still sighed for a while, secretly praising the cultivator's magical technique, and his heart to become stronger was even more eager.
"Life and death grass", two leaves are born, the juice is more toxic, should be picked with vitality gathered in the palm of the hand, the skin is withered, and the root can be used as an "metabolic pill" excipients. "Five-claw silver needle", non-toxic, five needle-like leaves can be used as the main material of "Yangyuan Dan", the rhizome is useless, and must be stored in a cold jade bottle.
Jiang Hua found a description of the two herbs that he was somewhat familiar with on the wooden tablet, and there were also patterns of herbs next to the text. Jiang Hua was in no mood to care about what herbs could refine, he just wanted to find something that could be eaten.
"Zhu Yu", non-toxic, eat it to fill the stomach, avoid regular food, and the leaves can be used as the main material of "Bigu Dan".
"That's it!" Jiang Hua was overjoyed, this "Zhuyu" grass was shaped like a leek, thicker than leek leaves, and the effect was exactly what Jiang Hua needed. I wanted to close the wooden slip, but Jiang Hua was overjoyed and thought of something. Now that you have opened the wooden tablet again, why not know more herbs, one can pick some for your own use later, and the other can wait to sell them for some money after you go out, you can't eat grass all the time, and then you have to use money for everything you do after you go out, there is no good way to make money at that time, and now is the best opportunity to raise money.
As soon as he thought of it, Jiang Hua continued to carefully flip through the wooden tablets, trying to memorize as much as possible the appearance and use of familiar herbs, as well as the method of picking and storing.
Three days later, Jiang Hua had memorized all the herbs recorded in the bamboo slips, and also found several in the forest, but he gave up picking them because he had nowhere to store them. Fortunately, he encountered the "Zhuyu" grass on the same day, it was very rare, and it tasted a little spicy, much like a leek, but a "Zhuyu" grass made him not feel hungry for three days, which was really amazing. In the past three days, the cultivation of practicing the heart has not fallen, Jiang Hua gets up early every day to check the information, looks for "Zhu Yu" in the morning, spends all the time from the afternoon to the evening, and familiarizes himself with the location of the trick points before going to bed at night. Now, Jiang Hua's refining body can already complete fifteen cycles in one go, and there are only three cycles left before the next eighteen times that may have magical effects, and the vein trick of the first one has been completely memorized, and all the locations have been accurately found and remembered. Tonight, the dream of the second picture should appear, and in two days, eighteen cycles can be completed, which makes Jiang Hua look forward to it very much.
Another three days have passed, and today, Jiang Hua will complete the cultivation of the eighteen cycles of the body refining technique, whether the body refining method is a cultivation method, whether the method he explores is correct, and whether he can successfully embark on the path of cultivation depends on today.
Jiang Hua reined in his mind, put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, and began the cultivation of refining the body after all the essence and spirit were raised to the best state. Soon, the seventeenth cycle was completed, and the eighteenth cycle was only the last movement, and a strong feeling of fatigue came, and the head was a little dizzy. Yesterday, Jiang Hua felt exhausted when he did this, and he couldn't complete the last action, so he thought that it was because he had exhausted his cultivation energy that he was ready to break through with all his strength the next morning, but who knew that a similar situation happened again. Jiang Huaqiang beat his spirits, and the center of his mind was thinking, "Do you want to give up? I really can't hold on! No! If I give up this time, will I be able to hold on next time? How many more times can I retreat from this difficulty, how can I become stronger?" The smiling faces of his parents and little sister in his mind, the expectations of Mu Qingyun's mother and daughter, and the helpless eyes of the villagers who died tragically flashed like a slide. Jiang Hua turned his heart sideways, his eyes became extremely firm, accompanied by a long roar, I saw that the muscles of his whole body were tense, and he used all his strength for the first time after his physique improved, and his arm, which was almost stagnant due to exhaustion, slowly moved again. The last action is actually very simple, retract the arms stretched forward, and put the palms up and down on the lower abdomen, even if it is completed, but the usual simple action is now extremely difficult.
Seeing that his palms were about to be closed, Jiang Hua felt as if something between his palms could not be closed, not only that, but a strong reaction force was also pushing his palms outward.
"We can't fall short!" Jiang Hua had only one thought now. Biting the tip of his tongue violently, the fishy blood flowed down the root of the tongue into his throat, followed by two long howls, and Jiang Hua exerted his strength again. As the last whistling sound sounded, a faint brilliance on Jiang Hua's body flashed, the muscles of his whole body swelled again, his clothes were torn apart, and the skin began to show a trace of tiny cracks, and blood-red filaments covered his body.
In the crackling sound of peeling skin, Jiang Hua fell to the ground covered in blood, and the unbearable pain made him faint.
The mist in the dense forest gradually thickened, and soon enveloped the surroundings, and strangely enough, the mist did not escape a trace to the periphery, as if it had formed a natural boundary, but only surrounded the forest overgrown with herbs.
A slight tingling pain in his mind woke up the unconscious Jiang Hua, and he sat up stiffly, his intuition telling him that this was a sign of danger. There was a white and invisible object in front of him, Jiang Hua stood up and was about to check his physical condition, when there was a sudden sound of "Xi Xi Suosuo" in his ears, and then several black spider-like creatures the size of a football suddenly appeared at his feet, and the spiky tentacles were about to lift and prick at his calf, Jiang Hua hurriedly raised his foot to sweep it, and with a "poof" sound, the nearest spider was kicked by Jiang Hua and broke half of his body, and the other half of his body hit several spiders behind him. The spiders were not frightened by the tragic situation of their companions, and rushed towards Jiang Hua again. Jiang Hua didn't have time to think about it, and he couldn't see how many spiders there were around, his eyes were staring at his feet, and he kicked when he saw that there were long legs. "Puff puff", one by one spiders were kicked beyond recognition by Jiang Hua and died tragically on the spot, but Jiang Hua kicked happily, and he didn't care about the rotten flesh and blood and internal organs on his feet.
The pinprick-like stinging pain came from his mind again, Jiang Hua was startled, and his feet stopped. The spider swarm in front of him was not the source of the danger signal, and he was a little carried away. The spiders also seemed to be scared by Jiang Hua's kick, and there was no longer the sound of Suosuo around, but it was quiet and a little scary.
Jiang Hua stood in place with his whole body guarded, he didn't dare to move around at will, and it felt very bad to not be able to see things in front of him, Jiang Hua deeply experienced the feelings of blind people. The danger signal did not disappear, Jiang Hua could only be vigilant, the unknown made him a little uneasy, no matter what the source of the danger was, he only hoped that the sooner it appeared, the better.
Suddenly, the white mist around him surged in one direction as if attracted by something, and the scene in front of him gradually became clearer. The thing that appeared in his sight made Jiang Hua's breath stagnate, and his heart couldn't help but contract violently.
A huge spider was staring at Jiang Hua with its earthy yellow football-sized eyes, and the last trace of mist around it was disappearing from its mouth.
Jiang Hua's most annoying thing is a long-legged insect like a spider, and the giant spider in front of him makes him creepy. Running and running in no direction, the surroundings are still shrouded in white fog, the spider only sucks up the fog within a radius of about ten meters, and has no confidence in fighting, the difference in body size is too big, and he has not learned any martial arts, so he has no way to start. Jiang Hua recognized the situation in front of him, so he had to be tough and tough, and saw the move. Finding that the spider had no intention of rushing up immediately, Jiang Hua quickly checked his body, his whole body was intact, and the cracks in his skin and muscles caused by the practice had disappeared without a trace, and he clenched his fist and felt the power, and a surging sense of power spread throughout his body, almost several times that of before. Jiang Hua instantly gained confidence again, suppressing his excitement due to the success of the exercises, he held his breath and calmed down, his eyes stared at the giant spider in front of him, ready to test his strength.
The giant spider did not rush towards Jiang Hua, it used two tentacles full of barbs and slender fluff to pierce the corpses of small spiders one by one, and sent them into its mouth, chewing while slowly approaching Jiang Hua. Colorful flesh and internal organs flowed down from the giant spider's mouth, and Jiang Hua was nauseated, but fortunately, his stomach was empty, or he would definitely vomit it.
The giant spider sent the last corpse into its mouth, and several long legs quickly moved alternately and rushed towards Jiang Hua. Jiang Hua slightly bent over and arched himself in a defensive position, his eyes firmly fixed on the two tentacles of the giant spider, which should be the most threatening attack method of the giant spider to him.
With a flick of his fingers, the giant spider had rushed to Jiang Hua's body, and the two tentacles raised one left and one right to stab Jiang Hua, Jiang Hua had no fighting experience, and found that he couldn't block, so he had to quickly bend down and squat, narrowly avoiding the sharp stabbing attack. The giant spider couldn't hit it with a blow, and the tentacles were raised again and chiseled down towards Jiang Hua who was squatting, Jiang Hua kicked his legs, his body pounced forward, and he got under the giant spider. Jiang Hua quickly turned over and punched the giant spider's belly, the giant spider felt a sharp pain in his stomach, dodged and took a few steps back, and Jiang Hua's body was exposed in front of the giant spider again. In the first round, Jiang Hua actually won a small victory, but he knew that this was purely a fluke, the giant spider suffered a loss once and was prepared, and it was even more difficult for him to deal with it next.
The giant spider who had suffered a loss looked a little angry, several legs kept moving alternately, its body swayed quickly from side to side, and its tentacles kept waving in the air for two days. Jiang Hua stood up and continued to defend, the giant spider saw Jiang Hua standing up, as if it was better to attack, waving his tentacles and rushing over quickly, this time the impact speed was even faster. Jiang Hua only felt that the phantom in front of him flashed, the spikes of the giant spider's tentacles had reached the door in front of him, his mind was instantly blank, but his body made a strange movement uncontrollably, and the tentacles of the giant spider pierced the air again.
Jiang Hua instantly sobered up, jumped back suddenly, his body crossed a distance of seven or eight meters in the air, and instantly disappeared into the dense fog, but he heard a bang, it turned out that his back hit the trunk of a big tree.
Jiang Hua's body just slid down the tree trunk to the ground, and the tentacles of the giant spider pierced into the dense fog and pointed directly at Jiang Hua's face, Jiang Hua flashed his head, and the spikes pierced into the tree trunk with a bang, Jiang Hua was about to raise his hand to slash at the tentacles, and the other tentacles pierced again, Jiang Hua had to give up the perfect opportunity to slide down and squat against the trunk again. Xu was favored by the god of luck, and the other tentacle of the giant spider also pierced into the trunk of the tree, and the force was too great, and the two tentacles could not be pulled out for a while and a half. The giant spider opened its mouth and bit at Jiang Hua who was squatting, but because the tentacles were stuck, Jiang Hua was overjoyed, stood sideways and raised his right palm to slash at one of the tentacles of the giant spider.
Unexpectedly, the sound of broken muscles and bones did not appear, and Jiang Hua only felt that his palm blade seemed to be cut on a hard steel bar. The blow didn't work, Jiang Hua raised his palm again, but before he could cut it down, the giant spider's tentacles had already been withdrawn from the trunk, which also had his credit, his palm seemed to have no harm, but in fact, it had severely damaged the giant spider's tentacles, and the severe pain made the giant spider pull out the tentacles with enough strength. Jiang Hua saw that the opportunity was gone, so he had to retreat and give up, and after a little thought, Jiang Hua decided to give up the frontal toughness, and his jumping ability was also greatly improved, so he simply went up the tree to dodge.
Just do it when you think of it, while the other tentacle of the giant spider has not been pulled out, Jiang Hua casually recognized the direction and ran away, he used his arms to protect the front door, afraid that he would hit the tree headlong.
The dense fog in the forest was slowly dissipating, and Jiang Hua, who hit the tree without running a few steps, was overjoyed, "God really helps me." Jiang Hua quickened his pace, the dense fog came and dispersed quickly, and after a while, Jiang Hua could already see the scene more than ten meters in front of him. There was a strange hissing sound behind him, and Jiang Hua secretly said that it was not good, he was afraid that the giant spider was beckoning his companion. Jiang Hua looked at a giant tree in front of him, jumped hard, his body was more than ten meters high, and he jumped so high abruptly Jiang Hua felt uncomfortable, and his body fell to the ground uncontrollably and suddenly. Feeling the state of jumping just now, Jiang Hua saw the corner of the bark on the trunk in front of him, and jumped up again, he was ready to grab the bark and go up to the half-height of the trunk first, and then find a way to get to the branch.
Heaven did not fulfill people's wishes, Jiang Hua successfully grabbed the upturned bark, and the bark did not break to bear his weight, but it was impossible to climb up again, and he couldn't find a place to grasp it, and that piece of bark was the only one that was warped. Jiang Hua grabbed the bark with both hands and hung it in the air, but he didn't feel tired, if the bark was strong, he felt that he could hang it on this day.
In the direction that Jiang Hua couldn't see, another giant spider was moving quickly in his direction, and the giant spider whose tentacles were hit hard by Jiang Hua also pulled out another tentacle, and the two giant spiders were converging in Jiang Hua's direction.
Soon, Jiang Hua was a little desperate to find that the two giant spiders kept wandering under his feet, in fact, he should be glad that these two giant spiders don't seem to be able to spin silk webs, and they can't climb trees because their bodies are too big, otherwise he would have become a giant spider's meal.
Jiang Hua is full of physical strength, but his stomach is hungry, and there are many ways in his mind, but none of them can get out of the current predicament. Jiang Hua could only hope that the giant spider would be impatient to leave, but before the giant spider could get impatient, the bark began to get impatient, only to hear a slight clicking sound, and the bark finally couldn't withstand Jiang Hua's weight and broke. Jiang Hua kicked the trunk of the tree with both feet at the moment when the bark broke, and landed more than ten meters away from the giant spider. The two giant spiders reacted and quickly chased after Jiang Hua, in the end, they were tall and had long legs, and Jiang Hua was quickly chased behind by the giant spiders.
Sensing the threat that was getting closer and closer behind him, Jiang Hua turned his heart sideways, rushed a few steps closer to a big tree, and put his back against the trunk of the tree to face the two giant spiders. I can't run, I can only face it, Jiang Hua was immediately relieved, it may not be that there is no chance of winning, thinking of the strange dodging action of his body just now, isn't that in the "Body Refining Decision", it seems that the "Body Refining Decision" is not only a practice of quenching the body, but also a magical body method. Thinking of this, every action in the "Body Refining Duel" was rehearsed in his mind like lightning, and combined with the way the giant spider attacked himself just now, Jiang Hua found that there were several actions that could avoid the attack. Jiang Hua was overjoyed, and his gaze at the two giant spiders was no longer melancholy, but full of confidence.
Jiang Hua left the trunk of the tree and took the initiative to rush towards the two giant spiders, although the trunk could protect him from the front and back attacks, but it affected the body movement of the "Body Refining Decision".
The two giant spiders were stunned when they saw that the prey did not run away but rushed towards them, Jiang Hua seized the opportunity, jumped up and jumped above the giant spider on the left, and smashed the back of the giant spider with a punch, the giant spider was smashed by Jiang Hua with a punch, and fell to the side, Jiang Hua, who landed on the ground, dodged the tentacles stabbed by the giant spider on the right, and hit the ventral side of the giant spider on the right with a punch, and the giant spider was beaten to the point that it almost rolled over.
The two giant spiders were not injured, they were just beaten by Jiang Hua very painfully, and the two giant spiders sandwiched Jiang Hua in the middle one after the other, and did not attack rashly.
Jiang Hua didn't want to wait any longer, it would change later, and he would solve the problem as soon as possible that he still had to find something to eat, and he couldn't spend it here anymore. Jiang Hua recognized the giant spider that was cut off by himself, a tentacle didn't look very flexible, Jiang Hua knew that his palm was working, so he rushed towards the giant spider.
Seeing this, the other giant spider also rushed up, Jiang Hua moved his hand first, and after being punched by Jiang Hua again, the two spiders fought in one place again.
Jiang Hua's body is becoming more and more proficient, and every time he dodges, it becomes more and more weird, the two giant spiders are punched, and it is kicked, but it doesn't even touch the corner of Jiang Hua's clothes. The battle didn't last long, and the two giant spiders chose to flee after each taking a few punches and kicks from Jiang Hua, and soon disappeared into the depths of the dense forest. Jiang Hua's maiden battle ended dramatically, and no one could help the other party, so they had to choose to give up.
