Chapter 5: Survival

The light of day dawned, and the light of the morning sun sprinkled down, awakening the sleeping ancient city!

In the stone room, Chu Ming exhaled the long qi tumbling in his chest, and slowly stood up, although he had been cultivating all night, he didn't feel a trace of tiredness, and his whole person showed a state of full energy and vitality.

After spitting, Chu Ming took off his shirt, exposed his upper body, and began to exercise.

Although breathing and breathing are essential for the cultivation of the body forging realm, what is more important is the tempering of the physical body.

The so-called body training, simply put, is to exercise one's body in various ways, so that the flesh and blood in one's body become closer and stronger.

Chu Ming found a stone pier more than one person high, wrapped the dilapidated quilt on the stone bed on the stone pier, and then squatted on the horse, his arms constantly making punching movements against the stone wall wrapped in thick cloth, even if he was separated by a thick cloth, every time the flesh punch hit the stone wall, the pain from his hand would make Chu Ming's brows furrow, but he still endured the pain and continued to punch.

Half an hour later, Chu Ming stopped punching, then elbowed, kicked, and finally repeatedly hit the stone pier with various parts of his body.

Another hour later, Chu Ming sat on the ground with his buttocks, gasping for breath, at this time he was sweating profusely, the backs of his hands were already high and swollen, and the places on his body that had touched the stone pier were all red and swollen.

I didn't feel it when I exercised, but after stopping, Chu Ming immediately felt a hot pain all over his body.

Gollum......

Inside the body, the feeling of hunger wells up.

After resting for a while, Chu Ming stood up, he was about to go out to find something to eat, he was still in the stage of boiling flesh and blood, in addition to exercising, he also needed a lot of food to ensure the consumption of his body.

The sun was in the sky, the scorching sun was scorching, the blazing heat and the road covered with yellow sand were all twisted by the sun, the soles of his feet stepped on the yellow sand, and streams of sultry air surged up the soles of his feet, smoking his skin, but Chu Ming seemed to feel nothing.

It's very strange, Wu Xie Ming said that there were thousands of people participating in the ancient city trial, but Chu Ming walked for a long time and didn't meet a single person, let alone food.

Syllable!

I slapped a scorpion that happened to crawl out of the sand, and when I picked it up, the scorpion was half a foot long, and the tail needle was two inches alone, and the barb at the end of the tail shone with a cold luster in the sun, and it was highly poisonous at first glance.

Holding it in his hand, Chu Ming was thinking about how to eat this thing.

Phew!

It's just that just when Chu Ming was thinking about whether to directly eat the scorpion in his hand raw, a piercing eagle cry reached his ears.

Instinctively look up.

In the next second, Chu Ming clearly saw that a huge eagle rushed straight down from the sky, and the speed was so fast that when its wings swept through the air, it made a rattling sound.

Chu Ming's pupils shrank, and a sense of crisis that made his body tremble spread to his whole body, his eyes stared at the eagle flying over, and he subconsciously tilted his head to the side.

Whoa!

The shadows flickered, Chu Ming only felt a numbness in his shoulders, and then turned his head, only to see a red blood mist spraying out from his shoulders.

Phew!

Another eagle's cry came, and then Chu Ming only felt a deadly chill coming from the back of his head, Chu Ming instinctively lay down on the sand, and then rolled out sideways.

Almost at the same time, a pair of sharp claws slashed past where Chu Ming's head was before, and even if he rolled out more than a foot away, Chu Ming could still clearly hear the sound of the air being scratched.

A cold chill rose from his back, and almost instantly, Chu Ming's back was wet with cold sweat, and at the same time, the sharp pain from the torn shoulder also invaded his whole body in an instant, and suddenly, a huge desire to survive boiled in Chu Ming's mind.

Calm down, be sure to be calm!

The strong desire to survive made Chu Ming force himself to calm down, looked around, and found that there was not even a place to hide around, all around were sand and stones that were corroded to the point of breaking when pinched, and he wanted to find a hard stone as a weapon, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of despair in his heart.

Shaking his palm, Chu Ming suddenly found that he was still holding something in his palm, which was the scorpion that he had stepped on before, and when he saw the tail needle of the scorpion, Chu Ming's eyes suddenly lit up.

This scorpion's tail needle should look poisonous, and it should be very poisonous, as long as you find an opportunity to use this tail needle to prick this eagle, you should be able to kill it.

Thinking of this, Chu Ming quickly calmed down, stood up, held the scorpion tail in his hand, and looked up at the sky.

Whew!

The eagle with a missing claw turned around in mid-air, its two sharp claws looked very cold, and with a flap of its wings, it swooped down towards Chu Ming again.

The pitch-black claws, exuding murderous intent, grabbed Chu Ming's body and head fiercely from top to bottom.

Ten Zhang...... Wuzhang ...... One Zhang......

Staring at the eagle that was getting closer and closer, Chu Ming's palm holding the scorpion's tail couldn't help but tighten.

Whether you hunt or be hunted, it depends on this moment!

Whoa!

The pitch-black claws stretched forward violently, and when the huge wings were waving, a hurricane was generated, blowing Chu Ming's body a little uncontrollably.

When the claws grabbed at his head, Chu Ming controlled his body, turned sideways as fast as he could, avoided the vital point, and sent the injured shoulder under the eagle's claws.

At the same time, a heart-piercing pain spread throughout the body.

At the same time that the eagle's claws caught Chu Ming, Chu Ming's injured arm also grabbed the eagle's feet.

Whoa......

The sharp claws made Chu Ming's body drenched in blood, and after Chu Ming grabbed the eagle's leg, he forcibly endured the pain in his body, and the one holding the scorpion tail needle swung violently, and the sharp tail needle in his hand snorted and pierced the eagle's wings.

After doing all this, Chu Ming couldn't care about his shoulders and was grabbed by the eagle's claws, and suddenly turned sideways and rolled to the side.

Half squatted up, covering the blood hole on his shoulder, the wound was very deep, but now he couldn't care about it, Chu Ming stared at the eagle deadly, he knew very well that if he didn't kill the eagle, then he would be the one who died.

And the only thing he could do now was pray that the toxin contained in that scorpion's tail needle was strong enough!

After Chu Ming broke free, the eagle immediately spread its wings and flew into the air, which directly caused the toxin to expand faster.

As the toxins invade, the eagle's strength becomes weaker and weaker...... In just a few breaths, the eagle, which was still imposing, seemed to have been drained of all its strength, and its eyes widened and it fell straight from the sky.

Seeing this, Chu Ming endured the pain in his shoulder, rushed over and held down the eagle with an arrow step, and then grabbed the eagle's neck with one hand and twisted it vigorously.

Click!

His neck was torn, and he flapped a few times on the sand, and then he was silent.
