Chapter 5 The Heavenly Continent

Mt. Rinfeng Snow Mountain

An emaciated boy was doing physical training in the cold weather, and his body was shaking and trying to do the next push-up, when his arms went limp, and he crashed into the snow.

Snowflakes fell on the boy's jet-black hair, and he gasped for breath and spat wisps of white mist out of his mouth.

Beside him sat an unusually large man, staring at the boy in front of him with his arms folded.

"Okay Xiaotian, let's stop here today. ”

The boy stood up with trembling arms and stood up, opened his eyes, revealing a pair of yellow eyes like cat's eyes, he shook his short black hair, and looked down at his hands, and there was no expression on his face.

Jing Yuan looked at him, and suddenly couldn't find the right words to preach to him. Qin Tian was the strangest physique he had ever seen, no matter how he exercised, his body did not change at all, but his body was not afraid of cold at all.

When I was five years old, I started to practice physical fitness, and I followed the most normal training method every day.

But it's been two years, and Qin Tian has also worked very hard to train, without a word of complaint, it's really the first time I've seen someone who has worked so hard but has no results.

Qin Tian turned to look at Jing Yuan, "Uncle Jing, let's go back." ”

Jing Yuan stood up and touched his head, "Let's go, I'm going to hunt beetle pigs." ”

The peaks of ice and snow, one by one, stood taller than the northernmost part of the Tianxia Continent. The higher you go, the thicker the snow becomes. At the foot of the snow-capped mountains is where Qin Tian lives. He lives in the village of Daopo, where he has only three children.

Six years ago, a war broke out on the Celestial Continent, a declaration of war launched by the Star Empire in the northeast against the Celestial Guardian Kingdom in the southeast.

The war lasted for three years, and in that era of war drums and corpses, how many city-states were destroyed, how many families were destroyed and how many families were displaced, and the battlefield finally ended with the surrender of the Tenjo Nation.

On the day of the surrender of the Heavenly Guardian Kingdom, fifty black-robed men attacked the Twilight Palace of the Star Empire at night, and snatched the third son of the Emperor of the Star Empire at the cost of forty-seven black-robed people. Emperor Xingchen had gray hair overnight, and fell ill in bed in anger. No one could find out the identity of these black robes, and some people suspected that it was a ploy of the Tenshoukuni, but the Tenshoukuni was also attacked by the blacks that night.

"See, Xiaotian, prepare to load. ”

Qin Tian took off a long crossbow on his back, he struggled to load the crossbow arrows, and lay on a rock with Uncle Jing, his cat-like pupils staring at the huge black shadow in front of him.

The general long crossbow Qin Tian can't even lift it, this long crossbow is made by Jing Yuan's special status Qin Tian, and it is made of high-quality wood, the wood is very light, and it is very strong.

A beetle pig is walking gracefully, with a slow pace.

"Adjust your breathing and don't shoot its rock armor. Jing Yuan said.

Qin Tian held his breath.

The beetle pig is three meters long and one meter five meters high. Its rock armor covers half of its body, and its weak point is in the belly under the rock armor.

Shout!

Hearing only the sound of "ding", the crossbow arrow was accurately inserted into the rock armor, and the mountain armor pig was shocked and moved sideways a small step.

Whew!~

The beetle roared and turned to find its target.

Qin Tian lowered his eyes, "Sure enough, you can't do anything." ”

Jing Yuan patted him on the back and said, "It's okay, it's just bad luck." ”

The beetle pig originally had white skin, but as soon as it entered the attack form, its body turned reddish. After discovering the target, he roared and rushed towards Qin Tian and them.

Qin Tian hurriedly prepared to load the second arrow, but was stopped by Uncle Jing, "You can't use a crossbow if you are on the front, its head is too hard, let you see what you have always wanted to see." ”

I saw Jing Yuan stand up, his body more than two meters high, and jump down.

Boom!

Suddenly, the snow on the surrounding branches was shaken down, and Jing Yuan's right arm was across in front of him, he opened his palm, grabbed the sleeve on his right forearm with his left hand and pulled it up, revealing light brown lines on his forearm, and there were incomprehensible words in the lines, and a small circle was wrapped around his forearm.

War Painter!

Qin Tian's knowledge of the battle pattern is all from the book, and the five-year-old Qin Tian read a book called "The Chosen People", and then he had a strong interest in the battle pattern.

The tactics are divided into two categories.

Brown lines are known as battle tattooers. Use its war paints to enhance itself, the more common local strengths, the less common magic objects and special domination.

The blue veins are called the magemasters. Those with the Spell Pattern trait can manipulate the elemental power of nature to bombard enemies from a distance, and the destructive power is amazing. There are three types of tattoos, elemental, spiritual, and special summoning.

Qin Tian's eyes widened and he stretched his neck for fear of missing any details, only to see Jing Yuan's originally open palm clenched into a fist, and at the same time, the brown lines of the war pattern on his forearm appeared with a white light.

I saw that the white light spread to both sides and filled the circle, starting from Jing Yuan's right arm, dark blue crystals poured out from the skin and spread all the way to the whole body. Although he was wearing thick clothes, Qin Tian, who was watching from behind, saw that the back of Jing Yuan's head, ears, and neck had all turned into dazzling crystals, and his body size was also larger

What is this feature?

Although Qin Tian had read a lot of books on battle patterns, the first time he saw the war patterns released by Jing Yuan, he couldn't guess what the characteristics were.

Seeing that the beetle pig was getting closer and closer to Uncle Jing, Jing Yuan stepped out of his right foot and stepped on the ground solidly, his head tilted to the left, and his right arm threw a strong and powerful punch!

Bang! The head of the beetle pig was hit violently in an instant, and the nearly 500-pound beetle pig hung in the air on all fours, and fell to the side suddenly, and without even screaming, his eyes rolled and he fainted directly.

Kill with one punch!

Qin Tian opened his mouth wide, his eyes glowing brightly, and he thought in his heart, is this the power of the War Paint Master!

Jing Yuan looked back at Qin Tian's envious expression and asked with a smile, "How is it?" ”

Qin Angel nodded vigorously and asked, "What kind of characteristic is this?"

"It's a sapphire. Jing Yuan raised his arm and shook it in front of Qin Tian.

"Sapphire?" Qin Tian walked over to Jing Yuan and observed it carefully, he imitated the words in the book, "The defense is superior, and the weapon is just a futile task for you." ”

"That is, you can't cut through basic weapons. ”

"Aren't you afraid of elemental attacks?"

"Basically, it has a certain amount of elemental resistance, extremely strong defense and medium attack power. But this trait is so difficult to cultivate, and it took me many years to completely master it. In the book you read, there is no explanation of sapphire. ”

Qin Tian nodded, but he was puzzled, with this rare special dominating trait, he still had to practice hard before he could use it, why was this?

Jing Yuan guessed what Qin Tian was thinking, stared at his fist and said, "When I was seven years old, I awakened my war pattern in the Enlightenment Pool, and when the war pattern gradually appeared on my arm, not to mention how happy I was at that time, my family was very proud of me at that time. ”

"But, God played a big joke on me, he threw you a piece of bread, but you couldn't catch it, you could only be pressed to the ground by this piece of bread. I was expectant and nervous when I released my war paint characteristics, I felt a power in my body, and when my whole body turned into blue crystals, I fell backwards and sat on the ground, with my head stuck between my legs, do you know why this happened?"

"Because it's too heavy!" Qin Tian immediately replied.

"Yes, heavy! quite heavy. This trait does not replace your muscles and bones, only your skin. Seven-year-old me became a joke throughout school. They all called me Kowtow Well. As soon as the war paint is released, kowtow. He slowly thought back to the days after he was seven years old.

At that time, he climbed out of bed every morning before the sun rose, exercising all aspects of his body's muscles. And so it went on for five years. Five years were spent under the indifference of his family and the ridicule of his classmates. He didn't fall down until he released War Paint once, so he released War Paint each time he exercised instead. And so it went on for another five years, for a total of ten years.

Qin Tian was fascinated by this, "What about later?"

Jing Yuan put away his war paint, and the dark blue gem slowly receded and gathered into the pattern of his right forearm. He laughed and said, "Those who think they are great, I beat them all over until they graduate from the academy." Then a war broke out in the world, and I went to the war, and later..."Uncle Jing stared at Qin Tian for a while.

"Xiao Tian, if you are a person who does not have the characteristics of the War Pattern, don't give up on yourself, because I have seen the strongest person in this world, he just does not have the Pattern of War characteristics. ”

"I understand. ”

"It's not too early, let's go back and eat the beetle pig." Jing Yuan laughed and rolled up his sleeves and picked up the beetle pig, "Alas! ”

Qin Tian followed Jing Yuan and walked down the mountain.

Just as they were gone, a figure came out from behind the tree, wearing a dark red cloak and a round badge on its chest, with a pattern inside, a silver six-pointed star.

"The pupils of the civets, but without tails and ears. He tilted his head and thought for a while, squatting down to check the footprints Qin Tian had left before.

"Five to seven years old, it's really good. The man lifted the hat from his head, revealing short, silver, stiff hair.

Squatting on the ground and thinking for a long time, the more he touched the silver mustache with the same color as his hair and eyebrows, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became.

"After three years of searching, my team has been searching for the border of the Wood Forest Country, but I didn't expect it to appear in the Peak Snow Mountain, which is closest to the Star Empire, so I have to go back and report it quickly. ”

He had just gotten up when suddenly!

"Huh?" The silver-haired man felt a burst of murderous intent behind him, and suddenly turned around, seeing that a black blade was already in front of him, and his pupils contracted rapidly!

Boom!

The silver-haired man reacted extremely quickly, and immediately pulled out a short knife and slammed into the slender black blade.

Both sides were shocked by the force of the impact and took two steps back, and then at the same time the back foot climbed, and the blades collided with each other at once, and the impact lifted the cloaks of both sides.

I couldn't see the face of the mysterious man clearly, the other party covered his face with a hood, and the moment the cloak was blown up during the collision, I saw that the sleeve of the left hand of the other party's white clothes was also blown up with the cloak.

The power of a one-handed swing of the knife is so great!

"Who!" shouted the silver-haired man.

There was no response from the other side, and then the blade parted again, and in the process of parting, the silver-haired man's right forearm faintly glowed white in the sleeve, and he burst back behind him to open up the distance.

War Paint Unleashed!

A pair of red and white wings suddenly grew from the man's back.

"Demon Object, Red Eagle. The mysterious man tilted his head and snorted coldly, turned his wrist around twice with the long blade in his hand, and then rushed directly towards the other party, increasing his speed by another gear, and a snowflake exploded behind his back.

"Look for death!" The silver-haired man squatted slightly with his legs, his wings flapped down violently, and the whole person rushed into the air, ready to use the air superiority to kill this person.

Wow!

But as soon as he flew up, he felt something entangled in his leg, and when he looked down, it was a black chain that bound his left leg!

"Hmm!"

Before he could react, he was dragged to the ground by the other party.

He fell on the snow with a thud, but that wasn't the end of it, and he was dragged over again.

"Bastard!"

The silver-haired man roared angrily, flapped his wings forward on his back, and more than a dozen sharp red feathers flew out in an instant.

The mysterious man was not in a hurry, and the black iron chain in his hand flicked violently left and right twice to easily block all the feathers, and then he slowly inserted the long blade back into the scabbard.

The silver-haired man saw that the other party no longer moved, a little inexplicable, he slowly got up in embarrassment and squinted at the other party, "I'm from the stars..."

The silver-haired man knelt on the ground, his mouth wide open, his forehead whining, and his arms hung down.

"Okay, let's go. It was a woman's voice that spoke, nodding at the mysterious man.

The two figures quickly withdrew.

Suddenly, the sky began to fall with goose feathers, as if to hide something.

At the foot of the Rinfeng Snow Mountain - Mogu Great Forest

The blue willow tree drooped its soft and silky branches, gently swaying in the breeze, the Mogu Great Forest was the largest in the Tianxuan Continent, and there were countless monsters inside.

The monsters that are close to the Rinfeng Snow Mountain, that is, to the north, are relatively docile, and most of them are neutral and will not take the initiative to attack humans.

But in the southernmost part of the Mogu Great Forest, the Gray Mist Forest, that side is an extremely dangerous area. All monsters are fierce and will actively attack humans. Rumor has it that there is some kind of human-sized monster in the deepest part of the Grey Mist Forest, and this rumor comes from the "Hunting Department" located on the bone sandbank.

They guarded the bone sandbar above the Grey Mist Forest, where there was a magnificent loess wall, this high wall reached to the sky, and from a distance it looked like sand flowing down from the heavens, so the world called it 'Yellow Sand Falls'.

The task of the hunting department is to prevent the monsters inside from escaping into the Mogu Great Forest, which is separated by a bone sandbar between the Mogu Great Forest and the Gray Mist Forest. Later, they often teamed up to go out into the Grey Mist Forest, hunting dangerous monsters and stripping them of their fur and minions to make armor and weapons to sell.

Figures of one large and one small appeared on a stone-paved path, leaves scattered on both sides of the road, and a winding path stretched forward.

Qin Tian looked at the lines on Jing Yuan's forearm. This pattern, written in the book, is called the first shape of the battle pattern, referred to as the 'first form'. Predecessors have discovered that there is more to the war pattern than just this one circle. When meditating, the War Tattoo Master will find that there are twelve large acupuncture points in the body, two each on the head, body, and limbs.

If you punch the white "Yuan Pattern Force" at the acupuncture points, you will find that the power of your own battle pattern characteristics is slightly increased. Rushing to an acupuncture point according to one's own situation requires one's own talent and hard work. When a cultivator links all the twelve acupuncture points, a new circle of lines will appear on the forearm, and the appearance of its characteristics and abilities will change. Qin Tian didn't know what "Yuan Wenli" was, and he didn't have any books on it, Jing Yuan told him that he would naturally know when he went to the academy.

The second circle of lines is called 'condensation', and the acupoints are the same as the initial form, and the acupuncture points that have been filled with white yuan pattern force are used to rush into the acupuncture points that have been filled with white yuan pattern force again, and the twelve acupoints are reconnected. Successful people will have a drastic change in their characteristics and appearance, and another circle of lines will be added to the forearm, for a total of three lines, and the third pattern is called 'Apocalypse'.

"Apocalypse" feels the revelation of the power given by the heavenly realm, and very few geniuses can cultivate and comprehend the complete body of their characteristics. The world calls them the 'Great Masters of the Apocalypse'.

Because Tactic Pattern cultivators can sense each other's level of cultivation, they are classified as;

War Tattoo Master, Dharma Tattoo Master Initial Form 1 to 12 Sections.

War Tattoo Master, Spell Tattoo Master Condensation 1 to 12 Stages.

"Uncle Jing, are you about to cultivate into a condensation state?" Qin Tian asked.

"It's not that easy, I guess I'll be able to do it when I'm sixty, I'm not that smart. ”

"Then you have to be a hundred years old to cultivate the Apocalypse? Qin Tian's eyes widened.

"Haha, Xiaotian, you remember, some people may not be able to cultivate the Apocalypse in this life. I've only met once in my life, six years ago on the battlefield I saw an enemy general, still an elemental mage master, after releasing the apocalypse, all the flames focused on the right palm, do you know that the color of the fiery land at that time, instantly turned blue, and a slap at our troops, if it weren't for my characteristics, I would have been burned to ashes. ”

Jing Yuan recalled the scene at that time and couldn't help but shudder.

He looked at Qin Tian in a daze, he must have imagined that scene.

"Okay, okay, don't think about it, it's scary to think about. Look, we're almost home. ”

What catches the eye is a courtyard house made of wood, the mahogany wooden walls are painted with various monster patterns, the gray tiles on the roof are like a large fish scale, there is a golden ball on each eaves corner, and the black plaque in front of the door reads three large characters - 晌福院

Two large cherry blossom trees are on the left and right sides of the door, as if they were two door gods, and the cherry blossom trees bloom with pink flowers. When the breeze blows, the petals flutter gently on the branches, and below the temple is the village of Dopo.

A little girl appeared at the door and waved to them, "Brother Tian!

The little girl had blonde hair, tied into two ponytails, and pink pupils and her single eyelids, like a leprechaun.

"It's light rain. Qin Tian said with a smile.
