Chapter 168: Limit?
Ling Tao is in Zhoujia Village, it can't be said that he helps the people here or the people here help him, people are mutual, his strength has been greatly improved in the past few days, most of the mutant beasts are killed by the villagers, he just plays the role of command, it can also be said that the villagers are helping him.
However, to Ling Tao's surprise, starting at noon that day, absorbing the life energy of the mutant beast, Ling Tao felt that he didn't seem to have been improved much.
Before this, every time he absorbed the life energy of the mutant beast, although the cyclone in his abdomen replenished him very little, but the warm current filled the limbs and bones, and he could clearly feel his own improvement, but after noon that day, absorbing the life energy of the mutant beast, although he could also feel the cyclone replenishment of his warm current filling the limbs and bones, he couldn't feel his own improvement, as if those life energy had no effect on him.
"What the hell is going on, obviously the cyclone is still absorbing the life energy of the mutant beast, and it has obviously replenished me, but why is the life energy filling the whole body, but I can't feel my own improvement", Ling Tao lay in his room, frowning and muttering to himself, with doubts in his heart, and even a trace of uneasiness.
If the life energy absorbed by the cyclone does not work, Ling Tao will lose his greatest support, although it will not be impossible to improve his strength, and he can also improve himself through guò training, but this time will be extended indefinitely, and revenge will be even more distant.
Ling Tao, who was puzzled, fell asleep with such doubts, and he got up at dawn the next day to carry out the usual training, military boxing, sword swinging, military stabbing dagger, bow and arrow practice, over and over again, he was also exhausted.
When practicing these, Ling Tao did not slack off at all, and did his best, only in this way can he make progress.
In the past few days, he has been able to practice twenty times in a row in the second stage of military boxing, and he can also practice twice in a row in the third stage of military boxing, and there are more movements that can be split and combined at will, and the load on his body is getting stronger and stronger, and some extreme actions can also be made.
Secondly, his action of swinging the broadsword is getting faster and faster, the twenty-pound broadsword, if you use it with all your strength, you can swing it twice a second, and the light weapon of the military stabbing dagger, he can stab more than three times per second, and the progress is not small.
It is worth mentioning that after several times of practicing bows and arrows, and consulted the hunters in the village with bow and arrow skills, when he used the bow and arrow again, at least forty or fifty meters away, the use of the bow and arrow will not miss the target, of course, the accuracy is still unsatisfactory, to put it bluntly, you can't take it at all, of course, if you deal with a huge mutant beast, such a bow and arrow ability is almost a certain lethality to the mutant beast, after all, you can shoot the arrow at the mutant beast to cause damage.
On this day, which was also a dangerous and busy day, Ling Tao once again took the villagers out ten times and came back after searching for a lot of useful supplies.
As the number of mutant beasts hunted increased, the villagers gradually found a way, and also overcame the fear in their hearts, and their speed increased greatly, but fighting with mutant beasts was dangerous, and despite everyone's caution, casualties still appeared.
On this day, they killed at least thirty or more mutant beasts, and the powerful Cheng dù was almost the same as the one they encountered a few days ago, but the villagers killed two, seriously injured four, and lightly injured more than ten.
In this regard, the villagers have long been mentally prepared, and they can only spur themselves on, and they must be more careful next time......!
Although the price paid on this day is not small, the harvest is still very large, there is more food, and there are a lot of useful things, the most important thing is that six drops of source liquid were obtained on this day, which was also found by Zhou Mancang's 'model corpse', which confirmed the name of Mancang with a lot of meaning.
Ling Tao didn't ask for the source liquid, he gave it to the villagers, he still absorbed the life energy of the mutant beast, but the result was similar to yesterday afternoon, he could obviously feel the absorbed life energy, and he also felt that the cyclone was increasing, but when he replenished himself, he couldn't feel his own improvement, which made Ling Tao very frightened.
However, even if he couldn't feel his own improvement, Ling Tao still didn't give up absorbing the life energy of the mutant beast, since he could feel the existence of the life energy, then the effect must be there, but it was not so obvious.
"In such a situation, it can't be that the cyclone has no effect, either the life energy of these mutant beasts is no longer enough for me to improve, and I need to hunt more powerful mutant beasts to improve their life energy, or my own body element has reached a limit, and I need to cross this limit before the life energy effect of the mutant beasts can be reflected, by the way, Uncle Xiao seemed to vaguely mention that there seems to be a watershed between ordinary people and first-order warriors, Ordinary people who cross this limit are first-order warriors, is it possible that I am also in this limit state now, and also, those life energy is obviously stored in zài, it is impossible to disappear out of thin air, the reason why it can't reflect the effect may be that it has acted on a place that I am not aware of now, and it should be able to reflect the effect one day", at night, after Ling Tao finished his day's actions, he lay on his bed and muttered to himself, given that the life energy has almost no effect on himself, he summed up these three possibilities.
The next day, Ling Tao took the villagers to the village's farmhouse to look for things, but after the ironware found a few days ago, the village blacksmith created more than 20 straight-backed long knives of about eight catties, and equipped them with some villagers.
The long knife consumes more iron tools, and it is many times more difficult to build than the spear head, and it has to be polished, and only more than 20 have been created in the past few days, but after the equipment is used, the combat effectiveness of the villagers has improved a lot.
At the end of the day, the results were similar to the previous day, the main thing was that after Ling Tao absorbed the life energy of the mutant beast, he still did not feel his own improvement, which made him feel more and more uneasy in his heart.
However, this uneasiness was dispelled by him at night, and instead of being uneasy, he was replaced by ecstasy, because he found out where the lost life energy went.
During the day, because of a group of more than a dozen mutant roosters, although Ling Tao and the villagers worked together to kill them, Ling Tao was also a little injured, not very strict, just a scratch on his arm.
Under normal circumstances, it would take at least ten days for the wound to heal, but at night, he began to practice a day's combat training, but found that the wound was not so painful, and it stands to reason that such an injury should not be done strenuous exercise, but after a fierce training, he found that he did not feel the slightest discomfort.
After he reacted, he was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the wound on his arm and said in ecstasy: "I understand, the life energy is not gone, but the direction of action is different, the previous absorption of life energy, can only be said to increase my strength, the power drives the body, the speed naturally increases, the follow-up life energy actually does not disappear, but increases my physique, so that my injury recovery ability is accelerated, in the current situation, the injury is at least three times faster than ordinary people, In addition, my endurance has also increased, and I was exhausted after about four hours of high-intensity training two days ago, but today I feel that I am not exhausted, and I can continue to train, which should be the effect of the lost life energy."
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and the more he thought about it, the happier he was in his heart, this was higher than the increase in his strength, because the speed of recovery from injuries was faster, which meant that his vitality was stronger and his endurance increased, which meant that he could continue to fight at high intensity for a long time, which was more useful than a simple increase in strength.
Thinking of this, Ling Tao was stunned, and said to himself with a strange expression: "Before, life energy was to increase strength, and now it should be regarded as physique, so, next, will there be an increase in speed?" Will there be an increase in reflexes at the end? It's very likely that this will be the case, no, the source liquid on the mutant beast and the living dead is also increasing in these four directions, could it be that there is some connection between this"?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was possible, but in the end, Ling Tao almost laughed, if that was really the case, at the same stage, his strength had reached the limit, his endurance had also reached the limit, and his speed and reaction ability were the same, wouldn't it mean that he could be regarded as invincible at the same level? After all, the four physical characteristics are the limits of ordinary people, and when they are transformed into combat effectiveness, what is it?
"Well, it should be like this, no, the plan has to be changed slightly, in the last few days, I can't let the villagers go out by themselves, I also have to go, absorb the life energy of the mutant beast, and see if my guess is correct, if so, ......", Ling Tao looked at the night sky and muttered to himself, his eyes flashed with excitement, and even subconsciously clenched his fists.
Another morning, after Ling Tao routinely practiced his project, during dinner, Mrs. Zhou found Ling Tao and said, "Brother Ling, I have people prepare what you want, do you think you want to use it now?"
"Really? Take me to see ......", Ling Tao was overjoyed, then finished eating in three or two bites, and followed the old lady to see the ...... of the things he asked the villagers to help prepare.
