Volume 1 Danger Lurks Chapter 16 Cultivation and Change
Xiao Jing picked up the knife, fought up the last strength, tore off his shirt, and while bandaging the wound on his left shoulder, he reminded Yu Chao and the two: "Bandage the wound as soon as possible, it's dangerous here, let's leave immediately!"
Yu Chao nodded, tore off his clothes, and bandaged each other with Yu Wenjing, Xiao Jing motioned for the three of them to drag the body of the black wolf together and began to return the same way.
Xiao Jing glanced at the depths of the jungle and the corpse of the wolf king, hoping that this more attractive food could stop the appetite of the monsters on the table.
The three of them hurried at the maximum speed, and no one dared to say that they wanted to stop at this time, and the combat power of the three of them was almost zero at this time, and they could be annihilated by jumping out of the weakest beast at will.
Only by returning to the cave can you be a little safer. Fortunately, a few people walked all the way, and they had already determined that there was no danger on the road, and the three of them successfully returned to the small cave where they were temporarily sheltering.
Back in the cave, a few people lit Xiao Jing's smokeless stove, cut the meat and roasted it, the wounds on the three of them seemed to have turned into appetite, and the three of them actually ate half of the wolf meat, which was enough.
Xiao Jing began to meditate and breathe, and Yu Chao and the others carefully wrapped all the hastily bandaged wounds, and then a burst of sleepiness came up, and they all fell into a deep sleep.
Xiao Jing carried the mental method, carrying the qi and blood in his body, mixed with the light and cool breath contained in the food he had just eaten, and at the same time, there was also a cool substance from the outside world slowly entering his body.
This torrent combed his body over and over again, the sliced skin was healing, the shattered flesh and blood were re-glued together, and the strengthened flesh bloomed with powerful vitality.
While the wound heals, the flesh is constantly being strengthened, this process is very slow, but the dripping water pierces the stone, and it never stops.
The three returned to the cave at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and did not wake up until the next morning. And they are all awakened by the hunger that scratches in the stomach.
The previous half of the wolf seemed to be consumed overnight and turned into nutrients in the bodies of the three of them.
But the good thing is that Yu Chao's wounds were almost completely healed overnight, and although their injuries would affect their combat strength at that time, they were actually flesh and skin wounds.
Xiao Jing also felt much better, at least the disturbing weakness in his body had been alleviated a lot, and after one more day of cultivation, Xiao Jing was sure to return to his previous level.
Xiao Jing turned on the smokeless stove and found that the fuel was not enough, at most it was enough to support this meal, and then it seemed that several people had to build an open fire.
Xiao Jing and the three of them ate more than half of the remaining meat, probably because Yu Chao's wounds had almost healed, and the demand was not as great as before, but Xiao Jing was still the same.
Xiao Jing instructed the two of them to take turns to rest and keep someone on guard at any time, yesterday there was no one to even arrange a sentry, Xiao Jing was already a little afraid, the ghost knows what will happen after falling asleep, and someone must keep a sentry in the future.
I don't know the passage of time during the cultivation, and after ten hours, it was close to the afternoon, Xiao Jing woke up and found that the external injuries had basically healed, only the wound on his chest that was bitten by the wolf king was still faintly painful, and the wounds in the internal organs were the most difficult to heal.
Xiao Jing saw that Yu Chao and the others were looking at him, Xiao Jing thought about it, and saw that nearly one-fifth of the meat left in the morning had not been touched, and knew that the two of them had not eaten until now and were waiting for him to wake up.
So Xiao Jing divided the wolf meat that had been roasted in the morning, and the three of them were not enough, but looking at the approaching evening, it was impossible to go out at this time, so they could only settle.
After eating this not sumptuous dinner, Xiao Jing finally had time to reminisce about the battle that had taken place before.
This giant wolf king is probably second only to the beast bear and the giant python, if it weren't for Xiao Jing taking advantage of the wolf king's contempt for a close attack, Tie Shan relied on destroying its right front leg, making it lose the speed and agility it relied on, I'm afraid the two Xiao Jing would not be able to resist the ravages of the wolf king!
Unexpectedly, it was only the first time he went out to hunt, and he encountered such a tricky and strong enemy, and it seemed that his evaluation of the danger in the cave had risen a notch.
Xiao Jing stood up and said with a straight face: "Everyone, I have a few words to say!"
After the attention of the two was attracted by him, Xiao Jing continued: "This hunt, to be honest, I didn't expect this to be the result, and the next time I go out, the result may be similar!"
Xiao Jing said: "But you have to remember that in this situation, if you don't move forward, you will die, every time you get food, we will have one more strength, and the certainty of survival will be one point greater! Remember, in this world, everyone is the same, and everyone's starting line is not far apart!"
"So, tell me your answer, do you want to move forward, or wait for death!?"
Xiao Jing's voice was fierce, he had to do this, since they set off, they had already encountered more than one danger to their lives, Xiao Jing had to consider whether someone had been defeated.
It's fine if you bring it up in advance, but if you have a sudden attack while you're out and you can't move forward, it may become even more troublesome.
The cave became silent, and it could be seen that Yu Chao and the two of them had gone through a struggle in their hearts, but in the end, they both decided cautiously to fight to the end!
Xiao Jing was very happy, even happier than when Yu Chao finally became somewhat useful, not to mention how much they could help Xiao Jing, if they didn't give up, everything would be possible!
He even expressed this joy: "Very well, I'm happy, then, early tomorrow morning, we will have a second hunt." This time, you can all be called veterans, and your strength should have increased a bit, so we will have a greater grasp! Is there a problem!?"
Yu Chao cheered up and said loudly: "No problem!"
"Okay!" Xiao Jing replied: "Our goal at this stage is to stabilize our position here first, adjust our condition to the best, and slowly explore the road, and then, I will take you out of the way!"
"This is our goal!" Xiao Jing said.
"Okay, listen to you, you've saved my life a few times, we will definitely be able to get out!" Yu Chao said excitedly with a flushed face.
Xiao Jing noticed that his glasses had been taken off, and said strangely, "Why don't you wear your glasses?"
Yu Chao also said inexplicably: "Today, I can't see clearly when I wear glasses, but I can see more clearly than before when I take off my glasses, and I don't know what's going on!"
Xiao Jing guessed: "Could it be the effect of those cool breaths? It cured your myopia?"
"I didn't expect my high myopia to get better at such a time, it's really ...... It's great!" Yu Chao was very excited, it seems that myopia has been bothering him for many years.
This also confirms some of Xiao Jing's guesses, but we still have to collect more materials to determine whether this is a universal conclusion.
"Okay, this can be regarded as an increase in strength, and we have a big grasp, this time there is no reason why you can't miss the archery. Have a good rest today, let's set off tomorrow!" Xiao Jing was in a good mood, and made a rare joke.
Yu Chao also smiled embarrassedly, and bluntly said that he would not shoot off the rails again.
There was nothing to say all night, although several people were not nervous when they spoke, but their hearts were solemn, the outside world, no one could say, maybe today was the last time they went out.
The three of them prepared in silence, Xiao Jing had already torn off the protective suit yesterday, but fortunately, the temperature in the cave was high, and it was nothing, he only put the lizard scale armor that was already slightly tattered at the end on his body.
Xiao Jing looked at the other two, and was ready to stop, so he spread out the black wolf skin that was left over and spread it on the ground, Xiao Jing planned to dry it and drape it on his body, as a person who had just come out of the civilized world, he always had to be ashamed.
Hoping to have a good harvest today, Xiao Jing found that he had almost fallen into the life of primitive people, and the only labor every day was hunting, but with good luck, he could only barely maintain his stomach.
But he is confident that as long as he takes it step by step, he will one day, his strength will be improved, as for how far it will improve, Xiao Jing thought, at least he must be able to defeat the violent bear.
At this time, he was like a frog that had just jumped out of the well, desperately imagining, but only by virtue of the corner of the sky he had seen, he unfolded an insignificant association, he would not know that compared to the coming world, what he encountered was nothing more than dust in the air.
Xiao Jing decided that today's goal is still yesterday's direction, with the strength of the Giant Wolf King, there should be a large territory, and now it may be the blank period of the territory, without the protection of powerful beasts.
On the way, Xiao Jing also tried to catch small herbivores many times, and if he could succeed, it would be the best, and if he failed, he would not lose anything, but unfortunately he found nothing.
Small beasts can survive in dangerous caves, each with a unique ability to save their lives, and in some ways they are even more difficult to catch than larger animals.
Xiao Jing found that on the high branches in front of him, several large birds with bright feathers were playing, and they looked more than half a meter tall.
He whispered, "Do you see those birds?"
Yu Chao looked at the distance, judged his ability, and said softly: "It should be no problem." ”
Very good! Xiao Jing moved out of the way slightly, while Yu Chao bent his bow and arrow, aimed slightly, and confidently shot an arrow.
Xiao Jing noticed that he was able to pull away a little more than before, but this time, he still failed to hit the target.
The swift arrow made a slight noise when it touched the small branches in the air, and was slightly hindered, but this gave the big birds time to react, and with a hard kick of their powerful thighs on the branches, they flapped their wings and fled without a trace.
Xiao Jing saw that the angle, strength, and accuracy of this arrow were almost impeccable, but he only ignored the small branches and leaves in the middle, and they were also branches that he didn't usually look at more, who would pay more attention to it.
He comforted Yu Chao in turn: "This arrow is good, it's just blocked, your archery skills have passed." Let's find another chance!"
Yu Chao didn't say anything, just hung his head and nodded. I'm afraid there is a lot of pressure in his heart, Xiao Jing thought, but Yu Chao's progress is visible to the naked eye, and his personality has changed from reckless to introverted.
