Before dawn is the darkest time of the day, especially in the harsh winter season, it is even more cold and abnormal, the world has changed greatly, plants have grown wildly, absorbing almost all the moisture in the air, it should have been the season of dripping into ice, not to mention ice, not even dew.

This was the third morning that Ling Tao had left Daliang City with Leng Yingying.

In a dense forest, before the morning sun rose, Ling Tao stood in the dark, a thumb-sized purple crystal in his hand, and he never understood what it was.

This purple crystal was dug out of the head of the terrifying monster he killed a few days ago, saying that he was the source crystal source liquid, but Ling Tao was not sure, after all, the source liquid source pearl source crystal he had seen was only those four types, red, green, gray and white, this kind of purple he had never seen before.

Yes, even if he knew that he could absorb the energy in this purple crystal, Ling Tao didn't dare to absorb it, after all, he didn't know if there would be any serious side effects after absorbing this never-before-seen thing.

After all, in this strange world, although there are many good things, there is always a certain risk in the unknown, and it is always right to be cautious.

Looking at Leng Yingying, who was sleeping not far away, Ling Tao smiled, and felt very happy to be accompanied by his beloved.

This place is not far from Zhoujia Village, and even standing on a high place, they can see that Ling Tao left Zhoujia Village for the first time and met Liang Ping and their Xihe City.

It's just that in Xihe City, even if it was far, far away, Ling Tao felt a terrifying aura, several times or even ten times more terrifying than the hideous monster he accidentally killed a few days ago.

That breath, Ling Tao guessed that it was the immature genetic warrior he encountered when he saved Xiao Lao, and as time went by, the other party was also becoming stronger. And now, he didn't know how powerful it was, at least Ling Tao didn't even dare to get closer.

In the past few days, Ling Tao has gradually become familiar with the physical fitness of his fourth-order warriors, in terms of strength alone, he can easily lift a weight of two thousand catties with one hand. And it's no problem to hold on for an hour, that is to say, Ling Tao can use the giant sword fangs created for him by the villagers of Zhoujia Village, but unfortunately, the fangs are placed in the 'home' of the base city and cannot be used for the time being.

Being able to lift two thousand catties with one hand, which is a ton of heavy things, and hold on for an hour, Ling Tao didn't know how terrifying the power he could make if he burst out with all his strength, he had experimented, and he could break the trunk of a big tree with two people. A human-high stone, he can break it with one punch, this is just a simple burst of power, not to mention the bonus of martial arts and other force skills.

Physical fitness is the foundation of everything, when physical fitness is strong, even if his realm in martial arts has not increased, but his combat effectiveness has increased geometrically, you know. Every trace of increase in physical fitness can be transformed into combat effectiveness, not to mention that his physical fitness has directly stepped from the third order to the fourth order.

Then came the speed of a fourth-order warrior. With his strong strength and nerve conduction ability, Ling Tao can reach the point of 100 meters per second with all his strength, this is just in terms of physical fitness, if it is combined with the power of martial arts, the speed will be faster.

What is the concept of 100 meters per second? It disappeared in the blink of an eye, and I couldn't even see a shadow. What really comes and goes like the wind.

In the end, there is the energy that can be controlled in the cyclone in his abdomen, and what makes him other is that the current energy, when it is used, does not need the cooperation of martial arts at all. It can directly compress the air to form a sharp air blade, that is to say, even if he loses the long sword now, he can condense the sword qi-like air blade with his fingers, which is extremely magical.

If Ling Tao was now using the power of the force of the force, and the sword technique of killing the god on the shelf and the cyclone energy were used together, he would be able to condense a sword qi that was five meters long and flew across a hundred meters, and could also cut off the big tree that several people were hugging, almost like the legendary sword immortal.

Now Ling Tao doesn't know how powerful he is, but if he meets Wu Sin and the others again, he can guarantee that he doesn't need anything, and he can beat them to death one by one with just his fists! It's a pity that Wu Sin and the others are already dead.

Shaking his head, putting aside these thoughts in his mind, Ling Tao looked at the purple crystal in his hand again, whether he wanted to absorb it or not was a question, and what would be the result after absorbing it?

"Give it a try, absorb a little bit first, if there is danger, it can also minimize the danger, after all, it is something like the source liquid", Ling Tao thought about it and finally made up his mind.

Using the flowing water sword, he smashed a small fragment the size of a grain of rice on the purple crystal, and then held it in the palm of his hand.

In the palm of his hand, the purple crystal fragment the size of a grain of rice was really like absorbing the original liquid, and a stream of energy was absorbed into his body, which made Ling Tao strange that this energy did not have a special feeling.

"Is it too small"? Ling Tao wondered, but before he could figure it out, the absorbed energy circled around his abdomen, magically went straight up, and rushed directly into his mind.

Suddenly, Ling Tao felt a cool, very comfortable feeling in his mind, as if his thoughts were much clearer.

"I understand, this purple crystal does not increase physical fitness, but directly increases spiritual strength, and can strengthen my mental ability, so that's the case", looking at the little purple powder impurity in his palm, Ling Tao's eyes lit up and he muttered to himself.

Thinking of this, Ling Tao did not hesitate, put all the remaining purple crystals in the palm of his hand, and the cyclone in his abdomen swirled, absorbing the magical energy inside.

A drum of energy was transmitted to the body, and then turned around in the abdomen, and then entered the head, that feeling, just like thinking in a hot spring, very comfortable and comfortable, followed by Ling Tao obviously felt the improvement of his mental ability, he didn't know how much it had improved, but after absorbing it, he estimated that his mental ability had at least doubled.

"This idea, in addition to being able to control items, I don't know if there are other uses, and when I return to Zhoujia Village and settle down, I have to study it carefully, I always feel that this is not as simple as controlling items", Ling Tao muttered to himself in his heart.

Time slips away unconsciously, the sun has risen, the sun shines on the earth, and it will be able to dispel the cold of the world after that.

Leng Yingying's eyelashes in the sleep not far away were tangled a few times, and then she opened her eyes and saw Ling Tao in the distance, she stuck out her tongue, when Ling Tao was there, she was not afraid of anything, and she actually slept so dead in the wilderness.

"Yingying is awake? Slept well? Would you like to take another break"? Ling Tao saw that Leng Yingying had woken up, and walked over and smiled.

"No, Brother Ling Tao didn't have water all night, but do you want to take a rest?" Leng Yingying sat up and asked.

Shaking his head, Ling Tao stretched out his hand to help Leng Yingying and said, "Forget it, I'm not sleepy at all, anyway, it's not far from Zhoujia Village, let's get there first."

"Grace ......".

Facing the rising sun, Ling Tao took Leng Yingying to walk quickly through the dense forest, because of his proximity to Zhoujia Village, he was still relatively familiar with these places, and he was not afraid of getting lost, as for the mutant creatures encountered along the way, he didn't even see his shadow and went away.

Soon the two came to the scope of Zhoujia Village, but after seeing the situation in Zhoujia Village, Ling Tao's face darkened and said badly.

Standing on the col outside Zhoujia Village, the school where the villagers lived was dilapidated, and the bamboo poles and walls that were erected at the beginning were completely destroyed and collapsed, and they were completely in ruins.

"What the hell is going on here......"? Ling Tao had a bad premonition in his heart, and rushed to the position of the school with Leng Yingying, the speed was almost like flying.

Because the speed was too fast, Leng Yingying had to bury her head in Ling Tao's arms to feel better.

As soon as he arrived at the dilapidated school, a pitch-black python rushed towards Ling Tao from the ruins, opening its vicious mouth and biting it.

Facing this giant python with a diameter of at least half a meter and a length of thirty or forty meters, Ling Tao's face sank, and he jumped up with Leng Yingying in his arms, and instantly came to the head of the giant python, and the terrifying power exploded.

"Dead ......", Ling Tao roared in a deep voice, and stepped on the python's head to the ground with one kick, and with a bang, the python's head was trampled on the ground by Ling Tao and directly crushed!

Ling Tao, who has the physique of a fourth-order warrior, this mutant beast can no longer pose a threat to him, and he can easily kill him without using a weapon, which is like the beginning, when he encounters a white snake seven or eight meters long, he has to fight hard.

After killing this giant python, Ling Tao was not in the mood to absorb that bit of life energy, and quickly ran to the door of the underground shelter dug by the villagers of Zhoujia Village when he left, the door was open, and after entering, Ling Tao had to retreat in an instant.

There was no one in it, not only was there no one, but it was also occupied by a dense colony of ants, each ant was half a meter long, and Ling Tao didn't dare to provoke that terrifying picture.

Outside, Ling Tao searched around, his brows furrowed, and his heart was a little strange.

Here in Zhoujia Village, it is dilapidated, as if it has been devastated, but it is not like it, because I have not seen the corpses of the villagers, if it is eaten by mutant beasts, how can there be no bloodstains?

"Brother Ling Tao, is this what you call Zhoujia Village? How did it become like this"? Leng Yingying saw Ling Tao frowning and asked with some concern.

Shaking his head, Ling Tao wondered: "I don't know, it turns out that there are hundreds of villagers living here, not only that, there are hundreds of gorillas living around here, but they are all gone, and I don't know if they were attacked by mutant beasts and all died...... (To be continued......)
