Chapter 16: The Hunt
Although Xia Chan'er received more silver every month, the meat she bought was not enough for Zhao Xiu to eat alone.
Although Zhao Xiu's cultivation was stagnant in the late stage of contemplation, with the two techniques of reverse scale and fast sword, he was confident that there were few opponents among his peers! Cultivation can be used to measure a person's strength, but it does not mean that the higher the cultivation, the stronger the strength.
The real killer moves against the enemy are those that are aggressive!
Thinking of this, Zhao Xiu's gaze became cold, his feet moved, and his body jumped forward like a ghost, bending his fingers like hooks, and he was a claw on the big tree in front of him.
Reverse scales!
In an instant, the surrounding air seemed to be torn apart in an instant, and the sound of breaking wind sounded, like a terrible ghost roaring and screaming!
Then another claw! The trunk finally couldn't withstand the powerful force and burst open.
The thick trunk of the bowl was pierced hard, and five fingers like sharp blades tore the trunk apart at this moment, turning into countless debris and scattering out.
"It's a little faster than yesterday!" Zhao Xiu shook his fingers that were a little numb, looked at the pile of sawdust in front of him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Now this body is still too weak, and the cultivation of the concentrating period is not enough to perform the ruthless and powerful technique of reverse scales.
Zhao Xiu's body moved, and he rushed towards the big tree with one person in his arms again.
The two abilities of innate divine power and petrification constantly tempered his body, coupled with the system in his mind frantically absorbing the spiritual power in his body, Zhao Xiu's cultivation wanted to improve, and the spiritual power needed far exceeded that of ordinary people.
Because of this, although his skin is delicate and fair, due to the ability of petrification, Zhao Xiu's body is as solid as a rock, and it can even reach the point of shaking the mountain stone.
Even some monks who practiced body refining techniques, the strength of their bodies was far inferior to Zhao Xiu's.
"Whew!", Zhao Xiu's five fingers sank deep into the trunk, and then his right hand turned violently, and suddenly sawdust flew, and with every time he tore, countless pieces of wood splashed out.
If someone passes by here, they will definitely be shocked by the scene in front of them, although Zhao Xiu is just a child, but at this time he is like a ghost!
The speed of the claws became faster and faster, and the spiritual power in Zhao Xiu's body was also exhausted, and the pain from his ten fingers continued to stimulate every nerve in his heart.
If it were someone else, this level of cultivation would have been impossible to persist for a long time, but for Zhao Xiu, it was far from reaching his limit.
Zhao Xiu began to use the Qi Condensation Gong method, constantly absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, and the endless stream of aura converged into the sea of qi, transformed into spiritual power, carried out the Zhou Tian cycle, and finally poured into the system in his mind.
His eyes flashed, he gritted his teeth, and the speed of his claws became faster and faster, each claw was fierce and fierce.
The blood-drenched ten fingers were like sharp blades, constantly tearing at the trunk of the tree, as if wrestling with the system and competing with it for the spiritual power in the body.
"Boom!"
The big tree in the arms of one person fell to the ground suddenly, and the broken trunk was torn out by Zhao Xiu with a one-meter-long scratch, and all the broken places became broken wood chips and were sprinkled on the ground.
Beyond the limits of the body again and again, Zhao Xiu only felt that the muscles of the whole body contained endless strength, and the body had already become strong after being tempered by the aura over and over again.
Zhao Xiu faintly felt that in the sea of qi, the spiritual power had the potential to condense the inner dan, but it was a pity that most of the spiritual power traveled throughout the body and finally merged into the system, which caused the inner dan to not be formed.
Promoted to the Jindan period, for him, the difference is just an opportunity!
Half a year later, with the two abilities of innate divine power and petrification, Zhao Xiu's physique became stronger and stronger, and his strength could almost reach the peak of the same level.
It's just that what makes Zhao Xiu a little depressed is that in the past six months, his cultivation has been stuck in the late stage of concentrating, and every time he is about to break through the shackles and step into the Jindan stage, the system in his mind will frantically absorb the spiritual power in his body.
However, Zhao Xiu was also blessed by misfortune, his physical body was tempered and unmatched, and tens of thousands of catties of boulders could be lifted by him in an instant!
In the early morning of this day, the genius was bright, and Zhao Xiu rushed to the outer city.
There are hills and ravines, valleys stretch for hundreds of miles, there are often birds and beasts whistling through the towering ancient trees, although the environment is not as bad as the 100,000 mountains, but it is the most dangerous place outside the Changyin Mansion.
Changyin Mansion is the most prosperous city in Yingzhou, and it is also the place where the most fierce struggle in the Central Plains is the place where all forces must fight.
Ordinary monks were deterred by the valley deep in the dense forest, where monsters were rampant, and unless the children of the big family went out to practice, ordinary people would never dare to go deep easily.
Zhao Xiu jumped into the dense forest a few times.
In the past six months, he would go into the dense forest every day to hunt and hunt some game for himself and Xia Chan'er to replenish his body, but Zhao Xiu knew that the environment in the depths of the dense forest was harsh, so he only hunted on the periphery.
Until noon, next to the valley, Zhao Xiu was sitting alone on a huge rock, with a water source nearby, and he was roasting half a wild boar.
Wild boar meat is delicious and large, but it is difficult to hunt and kill, especially the wild boar that wanders around the edge of this valley, and its attack power is comparable to that of a tiger in the outside world, and it belongs to the level of a fierce beast.
Although Zhao Xiu's cultivation is now stagnant in the late stage of Qi Condensation, the exercises unlocked by those few moves have been practiced to the point of perfection, and he has used reverse scales to pull out the heart of a wild boar with only one claw.
"It's so fragrant!" Zhao Xiu looked at the roasted wild boar, and subconsciously swallowed his saliva, he was at this time in the Jindan period, the most critical moment to temper the body, and he needed food full of qi and blood to nourish his body.
It's just that although the meat of ordinary wild boar meat is delicious and can also replenish a lot of calories, it can't provide spiritual power to help him cultivate.
Most of the half of the wild boar was swallowed by Zhao Xiu, and the rest was wrapped by him and brought back to Xia Chan'er to replenish her body.
At this moment, a white shadow flashed from the side, and Zhao Xiu only felt a fluctuation of spiritual power around him, and suddenly showed a look of surprise.
Although there are groups of beasts on the periphery of the valley, most of them are ordinary fierce beasts, more ferocious than ordinary beasts, but their wisdom is not opened, and for people like Zhao Xiu, this kind of fierce beast is not to be feared.
can cause such strong spiritual power fluctuations, I'm afraid only demon beasts!
Zhao Xiu's body moved! The whole person rose up in the air, flew out with a wisp of dust, and instantly came to a place a few feet away.
"Wow!", his right hand curled his fingers like hooks, like a sharp claw, piercing the trunk of the tree on his side and stabilizing his figure.
After a year of cultivation, Zhao Xiu has already been able to perform it as he wants.
"Roar!"
At the moment when Zhao Xiu cast his scales, a seven-foot-long sword wolf pounced on the place where he was standing just now, and there was a tearing scream in the surrounding air.
Zhao Xiu could even smell the smell of blood coming from her surroundings.
