Early this morning, Bian Qing served the old man Feng and finished breakfast. He said confidently to the old man Feng:
"Grandpa Feng, I'm going hunting, this time I'm going to kill another Yuan Beast! After that, we can leave this barren mountain and go to the imperial capital to open our eyes! There, you should be able to recover your senses, or you can find my true grandson!"
Old Man Feng was still confused and did not respond to Bian Qing. Bian Qing opened the animal skin door and shot towards the mountains and forests.
Bian Qing didn't know that at the moment when he turned to leave, Old Man Feng's body suddenly trembled, his cloudy eyes suddenly became extremely clear, and faintly, there was a trace of tears flickering.
......
Two months have passed, and the Falling Moon Mountains have entered the middle of winter, and the weather is getting colder and colder, and after several heavy snowfalls, there is a silvery white everywhere.
Although the mountains and forests are lush, they are already a desolate image, and there are few wild animals and birds.
Bian Qing's strength has greatly improved now, with the strength of his physical body equivalent to the high-level of the Yuan Martial Master Realm, coupled with the Yuan Qi realm of the middle level of his Great Martial Master Realm, he is full of confidence.
The last time he fought the Ice Lynx, he walked by, and he didn't care at all.
Most of the food in the outer woodlands was eaten clean by the mountain beasts, in order to survive, the mountain beasts had to enter the realm infested by the yuan beasts, and Bian Qing wanted to hunt the yuan beasts, only to go deeper into the mountains and forests.
......
A few miles ahead, it is a low-lying woodland, and the area within a radius of several miles is covered with pines and cypresses dozens of zhang high.
In the vast snowfield several feet deep, such a vibrant green suddenly appeared, which was particularly eye-catching.
"This is it!" Bian Qing was happy in his heart, such a good place, there must be a Yuan Beast, he secretly cheered up, jumped into the air, and landed on the most majestic giant pine.
Through the curvature of the branches, Bian Qing looked around, hoping to find some footprints of mountain beasts, as long as there were mountain beasts, the yuan beasts would appear sooner or later.
Bian Qing's calculation was good, and in a short time, hundreds of footprints stretching out to the front had been found a hundred zhang in front of him.
These footprints are believed to have been left by a very common mountain beast in the Falling Moon Mountains, this beast is called the Lunar Impala, a swift and agile social herbivore.
Such a large group of moon impalas will definitely attract the attention of the primordial beasts. Bian Qing restrained his breath, carefully jumped between the pine and cypress branches, and followed the footprints to the depths of the trees.
"Tsk-" A string of crisp impala cries came from the front, and Bian Qing held her breath and quietly jumped onto a thick tree trunk opposite.
I saw that on the snow not far away, hundreds of impalas were burying their heads in the snow to find lichens, spirit grasses and other things, and gnawed hard, without noticing that there were people snooping above.
Bian Qing's target was not the moon impala, he wanted to get the Yuan Beast this time. Living in the wilderness, the moon impala is an excellent delicacy.
But if you want to enter the Falling Moon Imperial Capital, I am afraid that it will be difficult to move an inch without money, and what Bian Qing needs most now is not only food, but also the Yuan Crystal in the Yuan Beast's brain.
With Yuan Jingshi, he can exchange for Yuan Shi, and he can afford to hire a doctor who treats the old man.
Squatting for an hour, Bian Qing was a little disappointed, the impala leisurely ate on the ground for a long time, and the shadow of a primordial beast did not appear, Bian Qing almost doubted that there would be a primordial beast in this pine forest.
In desperation, Bian Qing was trying to hunt a moon impala, preparing to use it as bait to find the Yuan Beast elsewhere.
Suddenly, a sharp pain hit the whole body, Bian Qing fell on the snow with an "ahh
Bian Qing was in mid-air, enduring the pain, drawing the sword with his right hand, holding the Geshu sword horizontally in front of him, standing on the ground, he could already feel that his back was hit hard by something.
The wound caused by that blow is now bleeding, fortunately, he is the body of the Demon Yuan, and the fatal injury was naturally removed at the last moment, and the green-backed wolf skin outside the body is extremely tough, which also plays a protective role, the wound is not deep, and it has already healed.
The body of the demon yuan actually has this ability, Bian Qing really didn't expect it, but he can't be happy now, the enemy who has never shown up at all, he can't sense it at all.
Bian Qing knew in his heart that he had always wanted to hunt the Yuan Beast, but unexpectedly, the praying mantis caught the cicada, and the yellow finch followed. A powerful primordial beast had long been hiding in the shadows, trying to hunt Bian Qing.
Yuan beasts can only feed their stomachs when they eat ordinary mountain beasts, and they will not have any benefit at all in improving their cultivation realm. Instead, devouring the Yuan Beast, especially the Yuan Crystal, can speed up the realm ascension.
This hidden proto-beast is very smart, and it is obvious that this group of lunar impalas was deliberately put into its territory, and it has to rely on this group of lunar impalas to trap other primal beasts for it.
Bian Qing is a warrior of the human race, and the vitality of the human race is the favorite of the Yuan beast. It seems that Bian Qing has been targeted by others since he entered this mountain forest, but he didn't realize it.
......
Although he was injured by the sneak attack, Bian Qing was extremely excited. Standing with a sword, a group of swordsmen are majestic and proud. Under the destruction of his vitality, the cold light of the Geshu Sword flashed, and from time to time it exuded a terrifying murderous aura.
This is the first time Bian Qing has faced a powerful opponent since he practiced longbow swordsmanship, and deep down, the young man is full of desire to fight.
No matter who the opponent is, no matter what the strength of the Yuan Beast in the secret is? Bian Qing has made up his mind, and the sword is upright, he only wants to move forward, and there is no escape to survive.
The Yuan Beast in the secret is extremely tightly hidden, Bian Qing has encountered such a strange Yuan Beast for the first time since his physical strength has greatly improved, this Yuan Beast seems to be a natural pretender, under the cover of pine branches and pine needles, there is no trace of it.
Bian Qing is not in a hurry, there is a saying in the mantra of the longbow swordsmanship that "the sword can be made later", against the opponent, the enemy does not move, then I do not move, if the enemy moves, then its traces will appear, the swordsman will come first, and the opportunity of the enemy will be the first, this is the realm that the swordsman of the great martial arts realm should achieve.
It seems that the Yuan Beast knows the true meaning of waiting better than Bian Qing, the enemies of both sides are dark and clear, and they are fighting for patience, Bian Qing does not move, and the Yuan Beast in the shadow is not in a hurry.
Both sides know that the moment of action may be the moment of life and death with one move.
After all, it was the first time for Bian Qing to encounter such a difficult opponent, and the young man was inevitably a little impetuous.
A breeze blew, and Bian Qing's heart suddenly throbbed, as if something was happening on the old man's side, just at the moment when Bian Qing was distracted.
A black shadow the size of a bull swooped down from top to bottom from a giant pine behind him like lightning.
"Zheng-" Bian Qing's back was cold, the sword in his hand had swirled, the black shadow made a surprise attack, turned over and dodged the blade, such a huge size, but the movement was extremely flexible, but seeing it over the top of Bian Qing's head, it had fallen on the snow a few feet away from Bian Qing in the blink of an eye.
Bian Qing was injured again, fortunately he woke up in time and was not hit by the vital point, but this time the back wound was obviously better than last time, the cold wind blew, and bursts of pain penetrated his body.
After two successful raids, the Yuan Beast seemed to have figured out Bian Qing's strength, and this time, it was no longer hidden, and its true face appeared in front of Bian Qing.
Bian Qing looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but gasp, the Yuan Beast on the opposite side turned out to be a blue-eyed leopard at the peak of the second grade.
The blue-eyed leopard is one of the most difficult primordial beasts in the mountains and forests, it is extremely fast and has extremely powerful attack power.
This beast is particularly good at camouflage with the help of terrain and landforms, and in the hunting success list of the Yuan Beast, the success rate of the blue-eyed leopard is the highest, and the prey it targets is rarely able to escape.
This blue-eyed leopard, dressed in gray spots, except for the two turquoise eyes that are extremely bright, every part of the body is a dark tone, no wonder it is hidden and cannot be found at all.
Bian Qing knew that this time was not good, although he was quite familiar with the five basic sword styles, after all, it was the first time to use them in actual combat.
He is only a mid-level cultivator in the Great Martial Master Realm now, and the Yuan Qi in his body is limited, if the timing of the sword is not right, he will soon lose the power to attack, and he will eventually be dragged down by this Yuan Beast whose cultivation is comparable to the peak of the Great Martial Master Realm.
The blue pupil leopard attacked twice, of course, it figured out Bian Qing's strength, but it didn't want to consume Bian Qing's vitality too much, the more vitality the martial artist's vitality sea retained, the greater the effect on the realm of the primordial beast.
The blue-eyed leopard wants to quickly get rid of Bian Qing and enjoy this hard-won meal.
Bian Qing calculated all kinds of possibilities in his heart from time to time, what moves could be used to hurt this Yuan Beast whose realm was higher than himself, but it moved quickly.
The blood that gradually coagulated, and the wound that began to heal, suddenly gave Bian Qing a good idea.
"That's right!" Bian Qing had an idea, and the slightly floating aura condensed again, and the Geshu sword in his hand was cold again.
"Roar-" The blue-eyed leopard couldn't stand the expression of this weak human, and it wanted to use its great strength and speed to crush and tear apart the young man in front of him, making him tremble under his teeth and sharp claws.
The blue-eyed leopard rushed over, its claws piercing Bian Qing's shoulders, but just as it opened its mouth to bite Bian Qing's throat, it suddenly saw a sarcastic smile in the young man's eyes.
The blue-eyed leopard didn't understand, under such a powerful attack, under the power of thousands of catties, why didn't the young man dodge, but stood in front of him stupidly, obviously he was caught by himself, but why did he still giggle?
At the same time as the claws of the blue-eyed leopard passed through Bian Qing's shoulders, the Geshu sword had already pierced its heart and cut off its trachea.
"Whew-" The blue eyes of the leopard gradually losing their vitality were full of hatred, how could this be? Why don't you dodge, why?
Bian Qing has no vitality in his body, the sword just now, he has injected all the vitality in the sea of qi into the sword body, if this sword can't make a contribution to kill the enemy, then, with only his body equivalent to the middle-level strength of the Yuan Martial Master Realm, if he wants to defeat the blue pupil leopard, there is no possibility at all.
Because of this, Bian Qing made a risky decision, he wanted to bet that the first blow of the blue pupil leopard would not be fatal, and at the same time that it hit himself with the first blow, Bian Qing then used the stabbing sword style and the sword fighting style to fuse, and pierced the vital point of the blue pupil leopard with the vitality of his whole body.
In this game, Bian Qing won the bet.
Although extremely risky, it is clear that the Leopard does not take himself seriously.
From the moment the Leopard appeared calmly, Bian Qing was pondering his opponent, and despising the opponent was the only weakness of the Leopard, and it was also his only chance to defeat the Leopard.
The blue-eyed leopard died unjustly, and it still has the most powerful trick that it hasn't used?
It didn't use all its strength at all, however, there are not so many assumptions in the world that there are ifs, the strong duel, only the one who survives is the strongest.
