Chapter 30: A Dance of Thorns
The Tiger King said in a deep voice: "Spiritual power output, that is, the spiritual power you allocate to attacks of different attributes during the fight. It is like breath that, if properly controlled, can be minimized. ”
"Control the output of spiritual power?" Mu Ningjiu muttered.
"If you want to talk about how to control it, you can't say why it's a teacher. This is one of the experiences that you have to accumulate on your own in real combat. You have to always think about what level of spiritual power output will not put pressure on your body and cause you to be overloaded. Due to the different physique of individuals, the output of spiritual power will naturally be different. ”
"I see, I see, thank you, teacher." Mu Ningjiu frowned, raised his lips and said.
"There are still hours before the sun sets, so let's go training."
"Yes, Jiu'er farewell." -----------------------------
The mountains are undulating, looking like a dragon in the water, coiled between heaven and earth, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon. The trees on the mountain are lush and green, the sand gulls are soaring, and the spring water is tinkling, which is a vigorous scene.
"Eleven, a few days ago, we have been on a continuous journey, and now that we have walked into the mountains, we can't get out for a while. You go and see, there is a place in this mountain that can let us spend the night first, this son is so hot that he will repair and repair first. Shang Jin paused and continued, "You go up, go to a high place to find it, it's clean and cool!" ”
"Yes, Childe."
Shang Jin sat lazily on the stones on the side of the road, looked around at the surrounding mountains, and hooked the corners of his mouth: Along the way, for some reason, except for the original nameless town and secluded city, it was either a barren mountain or an uninhabited village, and now he finally found a green mountain...... He looked at the waterfowl flying overhead and the small squirrels that came and went around him from time to time, touched the shriveled package above the horse's belly, and sighed: this son has not tasted meat for several days...... I eat hard steamed buns and green vegetables every day, and I must have lost a lot of weight. He rubbed his smooth cheeks: Little foxes don't like to be too thin, do they? He's going to have to eat more tonight.
"Childe!!" Liu Shiyi waved his hands, the corners of Shang Jin's mouth froze, his thoughts were broken, he got up dissatisfied, flew on the horse, and marched in the direction he pointed.
It was a cave about a foot high, and it was surrounded by black and red thorns, which was difficult to cross. Liu Shiyi asked:
"Childe, how is it there? It's just that...... How do we get there? Shang Jin didn't know when he had already grabbed the ice blade in his hand, flew to a stone under the entrance of the cave with light power, and slashed at the nearest thorn plant.
With a "click", the thorn strip shook, but it was not cut off by the waist, and a few small thorns pierced into the unmelted ice on the blade. Shang Jin frowned, flipped his hand holding the knife, lowered his head and used his spiritual power to remove the black thorns in the knife.
"Hmm-" Something seemed to break through the air from Shang Jin's left, he looked at the black shadow shrouded in the ground, he didn't have time to dodge, and swung his knife up.
"Bang-" The blade struck the thorn, but it was as hard as if it had slashed into real gold, and it couldn't hurt the thorn at all. Shang Jin frowned in surprise, gritted his teeth, the hand holding the knife trembled with force, and the spiritual power continued to enter, but he felt even more coercive.
"Childe be careful!" A sword light from the back slashed at the thorns, and Shang Jin felt that the force exerted on his blade suddenly became smaller, so he shouted:
"Eleven! If you cut a few more knives, this thorn seems to be still a refinement, and it is actually conscious! As soon as the words fell, Shang Jin caught a glimpse of a dark black light flickering faintly in the depths of the thorn bush. Is this it? He withdrew his blades against the thorns and leaped to avoid the range of the thorns; Then his hands condensed his spiritual power, and six ice ridges shot out, heading straight for the black unidentified object. Suddenly, the thorn strip was quiet for a moment, but the next moment, even the thorn strip that was originally static around it moved as if it had been sensed; And the same kind of people in the air are waving violently...... This attack seems to hit its weak point. Thinking of this, Shang Jin suddenly shouted:
"Eleven, you stand back! It's going berserk! Six ice edges condensed in his hand again, attacking the black light that resembled the lifeblood of this monster. The monster was completely enraged, and dozens of thorns approached Shang Jin with teeth and claws, instantly surrounding him. The dense thorns on the thorns were dyed with a layer of golden light in the setting sun, but because of the dangerous and cold aura exuded, it was still terrifying.
"Childe!! Come out of here! Liu Shiyi's eyes widened, looking at everything in front of him. He was blocked out of the encirclement by the wattles, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to shout anxiously.
Shang Jin seemed to block out everything around him, such as the surrounding objects and sounds, and his attention was all focused on that bit of darkness. The surrounding wattles slowly pressed down, and he suddenly felt a tingling pain on his back, but his heart was unexpectedly calm.
Closing his eyes, he could feel the spiritual power of his whole body actively fluttering; The ice blade was summoned, and the spiritual power in the body, which seemed to be as unfathomable as an inexhaustible pool of water, was now slowly being exported to the ice blade. The ice blade also seemed to be activated by the surging spiritual power, emitting bursts of low roars, but the light surrounding the blade became more and more intense. He opened his eyes slowly, his eyes firmly locked on the black.
Liu Shiyi, who was on the periphery, used his sword to cut back some small thorns that attacked from the side, feeling the sudden weakening of the attack, and found that all the thorns were more interested in the purple shadow trapped in the center. He slashed at the thorns with all his might, trying to distract some of them, but to no avail.
With a "boom" sound, the moment the ice blade left his hand, the thorn strip suddenly moved, and Shang Jin stabbed down mercilessly.
"Don't!! Son!!!! ”
With a "bang", the wattle was nailed into the thick ice wall that Shang Jin had condensed in that instant, pierced from the other side, and nailed into Shang Jin's robe. He swallowed his throat with a bitter sweetness, just staring intently at the battle between white and black light, and had no time to care about anything else.
The white light is intense, and when it is applied to the black light, only a small part of the energy is lost, and the black is quickly engulfed. Jing Tiao suddenly stopped the attack, stopped three inches away from Shang Jin, and did not move. He flipped his palm and put the knife in his hand.
"Tick."
Crimson blood flowed from the punctured finger and dripped onto a piece of white jade on the hilt; The knife in his hand suddenly shook slightly, the blade became sharper, and it was shining with unusual light gold. Shang Jin saw this and thought: Isn't this spiritual weapon like a Xun obtained by a little fox, and it needs to drip blood before the contract can be completed? He still wants to kill this thorn monster with this blunt knife, he is really impulsive and reckless! Sigh...... Fortunately, his life is hard.
He used a knife to split the barrier in front of him, then turned around to split the ice armor and the thorns behind him, and as soon as he stepped out of the cage bound by thorns, he saw Liu Shiyi squatting on the ground, his arms folded, his head buried in it, and his body trembling slightly. When I took a closer look, I realized that he was crying, and he was crying so much that he didn't notice Shang Jin who was approaching at all.
"Woo woo woo boy...... It was Eleven's dereliction of duty, and Eleven did not protect the son...... went below, Gongzi could no longer eat grapes, could no longer take eleven to find happiness, and never saw Miss Mu again; Woo woo woo it's Eleven's fault......" He repeated those words intermittently, crying like a child. Shang Jin's heart trembled, and he wanted to call him up, but he heard his voice gradually calm down:
"Childe, don't worry, Eleven will go with you, under Jiuquan, there is a companion, but I pity Miss Mu......" Shang Jin raised his eyebrows: Alas, his stupid guard is really hopeless, and he really thought that he was dying. He, a great and charming living man, was standing in front of him, couldn't he see it? However, although others are a little stupid, they are stupid and loyal. Seeing that he closed his eyes and waved his knife, he was about to wipe his neck, he hurriedly stopped him and said:
"Oops, hey, wait! Eleven, this son is not dead, here he is! It's been a long time since a living person stood here, don't you see? Shang Jin unloaded the knife in Liu Shiyi's hand in a daze, and a smile flashed in his bright eyes.
"Ahh Liu Shiyi suddenly trembled, looked at the visitor in a daze for a long time, swallowed his saliva, and said tentatively in a trembling voice: "Gong...... Son? Be... Is that you? ”
"It's me." He helplessly pulled him up from the ground, pretending to be disgusted: "Tsk, look at you, a big man, and crying snot and tears, really." ”
"Childe !!" Liu Shiyi pounced on Shang Jin, who didn't expect this stubble at all, and his center of gravity was unstable, so he fell to the ground on all fours.
"Ahem......" Shang Xiaogongzi wanted to cry without tears: What is this, what is this, the reaction is so intense, is this young man so easy to die? Oops...... How could this man be so heavy...... On weekdays, you don't eat less, right?
Liu Shiyi ...... You're not fast... Get down from this son......" Shang Jin was suppressed, couldn't breathe, and said with difficulty.
Liu Shiyi on his body was startled, and hurriedly got up, which was a little sober: Childe is really not dead! Ahh He also had the opportunity to visit restaurants all over the world, marry a wife and have children...... He was overjoyed, wiped the tears from his face, and looked at Shang Jin, who was still lying on the ground.
"Sss Shang Jin relaxed his nerves, and was pressed by Liu Shiyi just now, only to feel the tingling pain on his back in hindsight.
"Childe! What happened to you? Are you okay? Liu Shiyi was shocked and hurriedly helped his son-in-law up. Shang Jin took out the golden medicine from his sleeve, his face turned pale, and he gasped with difficulty:
"I'm afraid I've just been stabbed in the back by thorns, it's not deep, you can just help me get some medicine."
"Ah, Childe......" Liu Shiyi couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the injury on Shang Jin's back. On the originally smooth back, seven or eight thorns that were not thin were firmly pierced, and the thorns were wrapped with a faint black, which looked extremely hideous compared to the snow skin.
