Chapter 9: The Five-Colored Messenger
Time keeps ticking.
When Xu Hao regained the two Yuan Qi consumed in his body, it was already nearly three hours later.
"There is only one qi vein in the body, so the speed of absorbing the source stone is still too slow..."
Feeling the three refilled vitality in the dantian qi pockets in his body, Xu Hao couldn't help but shake his head and sigh slightly.
Although the other demon hunters were the same as him, with the cultivation of his previous life as a comparison, he was still not used to his low cultivation efficiency.
After all, there was only one dantian qi vein in his body now, and it would take at least an hour or more to completely absorb and digest a low-level source stone.
In other words, if all the three vitality in his body are consumed, then if he wants to recover them all, it is estimated that a morning will pass.
This not only affected his efficiency in hunting demonic creatures, but also greatly affected his efficiency in opening up new dantian air pockets.
When encountering a crisis, recovering sooner, or recovering more in a shorter period of time, often plays a role in determining life and death.
"Well, it seems that I have to find a way to obtain the intermediate Pei Yuan Gong as soon as possible, and then open up the second qi vein, so that my cultivation speed will be much faster." Xu Hao thought.
The number of Qi veins determines the efficiency of a Demon Hunter in absorbing the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the Source Stone. The more dantian qi veins, the faster the demon hunter can absorb and digest the source stones.
The primary Pei Yuan Gong opens up the first dantian qi vein, so the role of the intermediate Pei Yuan Gong is to open up the second dantian qi vein of the demon hunter.
In Xu Hao's memory, there were many ways to obtain intermediate Pei Yuan Gong.
One of them is that after three days, the Demon Hunter Emblem will develop a transaction exchange function for each Demon Hunter, and at that time, there will be an additional shop page in each Demon Hunter's Demon Hunting Emblem, which will have some designated items for sale, including source stones, which will be exchanged for each Demon Hunter with a certain number of points.
As long as the Demon Hunter has enough points to exchange for good things to arm himself, then his own strength will definitely increase.
And the intermediate Pei Yuan Gong that Xu Hao wanted was also exchanged in it.
It's just that the exchange value of the intermediate Pei Yuan Gong is not low at all, and Xu Hao remembers that it takes 500 points.
So if he wants to successfully obtain this cheatbook, then he must accumulate more than 500 points in the next three days.
Luckily, he'd completed four hidden missions before, which is half of the requirement.
Otherwise, even if he killed all the dozen or so demonized creatures within a radius of one kilometer now, the points he obtained would not be enough to buy an intermediate Pei Yuan Gong.
"If only I could meet the purple-robed envoy in advance, maybe I would be able to buy an intermediate Pei Yuan Gong book from him at a low price, and I could save a lot of points."
Xu Hao thought of another more affordable way to obtain the Intermediate Pei Yuan Gong - to find the purple-robed messenger known as the "Hundred Treasure Merchant".
The so-called purple-robed envoys, they are a very high-level alchemy life, not only powerful, but also have a certain amount of wisdom.
Their presence is like the NPC merchants in the game, and can provide all kinds of assistance to the witchers.
After the disaster breaks out, they will randomly appear all over the world, as long as the witcher encounters them, not only can you use points to buy some special items from them, but also receive some special tasks, and you can earn a lot of rewards after completing it.
In addition to the purple-robed envoys, there are also white-robed envoys, black-robed envoys, red-robed envoys, and gold-robed envoys. They all have special items on them that the Demon Hunter Crest can't give to the Witcher.
Thinking of this, Xu Hao stood up, came to the edge of the roof again, and activated his talent eagle eye to check the movements around him.
In his field of vision, he did not find the existence of the purple-robed messenger.
Xu Hao was not disappointed, as the most mysterious and powerful existence of the five kinds of envoys, the whereabouts of the purple-robed envoy were the most difficult to capture.
If you're lucky, he'll suddenly appear next to you; If you're unlucky, even if you die, you may not be able to meet the purple-robed messenger once.
Xu Hao also found that the number of demonized creatures in the vicinity was significantly higher.
Compared to the fourteen that he had discovered before, he had already captured no less than twenty demonic creatures at this moment.
Some of these terrifying and hideous creatures were chasing and killing the frightened citizens who had fled, and some were wreaking havoc all over the streets, and everywhere they went, there was a terrible scene.
Seeing some citizens who were torn in half by the demons, Xu Hao's heart did not fluctuate at all, and his face was full of coldness.
"Let's get started."
Holding the magic vine bow in his hand, Xu Hao jumped forward with his feet, jumping onto another parallel high-rise building like a roc, his footsteps did not stop at all, and continued to run forward along the edge of the roof.
In a flash of silver light, there was already an extra steel arrow in his hand, and he put on the magic vine bow, pulled the bowstring slightly, and locked his eyes on a parking lot surrounded by residential buildings not far downstairs.
There, a tall and vicious demon appeared, rushed out of the parking lot, and aggressively pursued a young man of about twenty years old.
The two are less than fifty meters apart.
"Help!"
The young man, covered in dust, with bloodstained clothes and a thick look of horror in his eyes, ran out of the parking lot, knowing that he could not escape, he rushed directly to the gate of a hotel, and while banging desperately on the closed stainless steel door, he hissed: "Open the door!" Open the door! Help me! ”
"Grass and mud Ma Gobi, hurry up and go away, don't kill us!"
"Fuck the day, get out of the way!"
Not only did the obviously occupied hotel not open its door, but many of the residents upstairs yelled at the young man.
"Bastard! Open the door! ”
The young man was in despair.
Roar!
The terrifying demon had already chased after the young man about thirty meters behind, and actually slowed down his pace, staring at the desperate young man in front of him, a pair of blood eyes flashing red, revealing a bit of weird emotional fluctuations, as if he was looking at one of his playthings.
"No, don't come, don't come..."
The young man's face was like white paper, and his whole body trembled like chaff, and he continued to look left and right, and suddenly turned around, grabbed the edge of the window next to him, and jumped upwards with all his strength.
Under the threat of life and death, he seemed to be thin and quickly climbed to the windowsill of the first floor, did not dare to stop at all, grabbed the edge of the higher floor, and continued to climb up.
The demon behind him roared in anger and rushed up in a frenzy, jumping high and slapping his claws at the young man who had already climbed up to the second ledge.
A strong and fishy wind shrouded from behind him, and the young man who thought he was safe subconsciously turned around, and was terrified to see a sharp five-fingered palm covered with blood, which slapped down like Mount Tai!
But at this moment-
A silver light tore through the air, like a flash of lightning, and at an unimaginable speed, it instantly hit the back of the demon's skull!
The body of the demon who jumped high suddenly shook, and the big hand that slapped out almost grazed the young man's back, staring at the dim blood pupils, and the huge body fell violently.
Disheveled!
Many onlookers were breathless.
……
"The third head."
On the roof of the building, Xu Hao smiled coldly, and at the same time a reminder of the successful killing of the Demon Hunting Emblem sounded in his mind.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, a look of pleasure on his face.
If you look closely, you will see that his right hand, which is holding the Demon Vine Bow, is trembling slightly.
That's excitement.
Xu Hao found himself already in love with this feeling.
This feeling of killing with one blow and completely controlling the life and death of others is really cool!
is different from his previous life, because of various factors, he has to play a role that is constantly beaten and fleeing, facing various life and death crises again and again, and almost every moment is involuntary and painful.
Although this made his strength grow rapidly, Xu Haoda didn't like this kind of passive depression and involuntary feeling, as if he had become a lost dog and a thing to be played with.
So he fought hard, and the result was, of course, defeat.
Not anymore. Bloody rebirth has given him too many advantages, he no longer has to push himself into a desperate situation again and again, scarred again and again, almost out of ammunition, and again and again he has to endure the pain that life is worse than death.
With a prophet and a wealth of combat experience, he has the time and strength to make himself stronger than other witchers.
Even now, he is confident enough to survive in this post-apocalyptic environment that wanted to make him embarrassed and experienced several lives and deaths.
"I'm going to get stronger!"
"Whoever stands in my way, die!"
Looking at the Demon Teng Bow in his hand, Xu Hao's eyes were clear, and a powerful battle intent surged into his heart.
When he looked at the demonic creatures scattered around the city, a flash of evil immediately flashed in his eyes. As soon as his body moved, the next moment, he was already galloping up like a cheetah, along the parallel tops between the tall buildings, and quickly approached the nearest demon.
In the next ten hours, Xu Hao launched a crazy killing of the demonized creatures nearby!
Condescending to give him a huge range advantage, once the vitality is exhausted, immediately take out the source stone to meditate and recover, and then continue the hunt.
Using the archer's lethal advanced martial art: Qi Explosion, every time he strikes, it is a one-hit kill!
It wasn't until night fell that he stopped his hand.
What Xu Hao didn't know was that his successive attacks had created a huge deterrent effect within a radius of several kilometers.
More and more citizens know about the existence of such a mysterious master of archery near Zhongcheng Avenue in the South District.
As if finding the last life-saving driftwood in a drowning, as the demonic creatures were continuously shot by this mysterious master, the citizens gathered towards the side of Midtown Avenue in the southern district.
Even in the Richview Garden, where the rich and high-ranking officials gather, many people have ventured here to find a place to stay.
For a time, within the residential area where Xu Hao is located, it has become a "sweet spot" in the eyes of all nearby citizens
