Chapter 12: The Nether Bow
Chapter 12: The Nether Bow
In a hurry, Lu Feng only felt that the spirit of the soul trembled for a moment, and a wonderful feeling surged over, and then instinctively slid past the Nether Leopard at an extremely strange angle, and his palm slapped the ground and fell into the clearing.
The second layer of Linglong Step has finally been mastered!
Lu Feng has been practicing this footwork for three years, known as the most powerful life-saving footwork of the formation master, but helplessly, Lu Feng has been staying in the first stage for three years, but fortunately, he broke through at a critical juncture.
Linglong is divided into four realms, the first layer is called 'Wearing Flowers Around the Tree', Lu Feng originally cultivated this layer, and practiced in the 'Flower Sea Phantom Array' laid by Bai Lao for more than a year, before he could achieve the flowers without sticking to his body, and achieving this level is only to meet the standard of Linglong stepping into the door.
In Bai Lao's words, that is, the sea of flowers is dead, and the trajectory of falling flowers can be easily judged.
In this realm, he can already capture the dynamic 'sea of flowers', find an opportunity in the enemy's changing offensive, and use his strength to dodge.
And the standard for the perfection of this realm is to use the power of the enemy without a trace, and to dodge with the power of the enemy, but not to be detected by the enemy.
With the blessing of the second layer of exquisite steps, Lu Feng instantly became confident, and opened his bow as he ran, shooting several arrows towards the Nether Leopard.
"Well done!"
Huogen was overjoyed to see this scene, and praised loudly, not only because Lu Feng escaped in danger to save his life, but also because he did not flee at the first moment of getting out of danger but quickly stood on the terrain and counterattacked, which really made him admire.
Although Lu Feng's arrow accuracy was a little worse, it was enough at the moment.
A series of arrows, although they did not cause any substantial damage to the Nether Leopard, but they restricted its route, which was equivalent to trapping it in place for a moment, becoming a living target.
And how could Huogen, who grasped the timing extremely accurately, not be able to grasp this moment.
Draw a bow and arrow.
Right eye, forepaw, nape of neck...
The fire root fired a few arrows in an instant, compared to Lu Feng, he used a heavy bow and was much stronger in terms of strength and accuracy, and the restrained Nether Leopard would definitely not be able to dodge these arrows.
Arrows, wounded!
It would be much easier to take advantage of its illness to kill it, and to deal with a badly injured Nether Leopard.
Lu Feng and Huo Root cooperate with each other very tacitly, shooting, opening up the distance, shooting again, opening up the distance again...
Soon the Nether Panther was covered in arrow feathers, and finally fell to the ground in death.
The two of them looked at the dead Nether Leopard and smiled, both of them looked very tired, but more of them were the joy of being reborn after the catastrophe.
"Don't look at it, although it's only a first-order spirit beast, there are a lot of treasures on it," Huo Gen said with a grappling palm.
Indeed, even the most beginner spirit beast can make ordinary people live a short and prosperous life with the treasures contained in it.
Once the beast absorbs a certain amount of heaven and earth aura, it will evolve into a spirit beast, and the spirit beast also has a strict hierarchy, from one to nine, the more high-level the spirit beast strength, the stronger it is.
When Lu Feng saw the lines on this Nether Leopard's body flashing with streamers, he was sure that there must be a beast pill in his body, which was the most obvious characteristic of a spirit beast.
The spirit beast's beast pill contains part of the energy it possessed before its death, as well as some violent heaven and earth aura, which can be used by humans through some special methods, for example, refining into an elixir, which can also be used as a formation center, and even more through the secret method, it can directly absorb the energy in the beast pill for their own cultivation.
After confirming that the Nether Leopard was completely dead, the two moved it to a safe place, and Fireroot stepped forward to dissect it.
Huogen took out a dagger from his bosom and stabbed it at the stomach of the Nether Leopard, cutting open the fur and reaching out to pull out the beast pill in his body.
"You take this, sell it or keep it for yourself," Huo Gen smiled and handed the beast pill in his hand towards Lu Feng.
Because of the abdomen of the Nether Leopard that reached into it with his bare hands, the hands of the fire root were stained with blood, and there was a strong fishy smell, but it was such a pair of filthy hands that held a glittering bead.
The beads have the same lines as those on the Nether Leopard, emitting a blue-black glow.
Lu Feng didn't reach out to pick it up, and he didn't want to pick it up, because it was hunted by Huogen at the risk of his life, and this treasure naturally belonged to him.
"Take it, it's useless to leave this thing in the village. ”
Huogen seemed to understand Lu Feng's thoughts, and said again, and then threw it over.
Lu Feng no longer shirked and carefully took the beast pill, throwing a grateful glance towards the fire root.
This Beast Pill Lu Feng is really useful, this time he came out of Linglong Valley, he only brought some unfinished formation books, as for the materials for those formations, jade and the like, the two old men didn't even give anything, in their words, the jade is too expensive, and the stock in the valley is gone.
Lu Feng naturally didn't believe this, so when he saw any materials that could be arranged, he cherished them very much.
The fire root is still dealing with the corpse of the Nether Leopard, in addition to the beast pill, it has a lot of treasures, its sharp claws can be made into rudimentary claw weapons, its body bones can be polished into tools, its tendons have good toughness, can be made into bowstrings...
"Good material, I'll use this Nether Leopard to make you a more suitable bow and arrow when I get back," Huo Gen said, pinching the elastic tendons in his hand.
Lu Feng smiled gratefully and asked casually, "Brother Huogen, where did you learn this bow and arrow magic skill?"
"Handed down from our ancestors, our village, there was a very remarkable person a long time ago," Huogen said with some longing and admiration.
Since it is an ancestral heirloy, Lu Feng is not good at asking anything more.
The two of them dealt with it simply, and carried the remaining leopard meat back, which was enough to weigh hundreds of pounds of dead leopards, but Lu Feng and the two were not lightly tired.
In order to avoid causing a sensation, the two returned to the village and quietly disposed of the leopard, and the villagers only treated it as an ordinary wild leopard.
For the next period of time, Lu Feng followed the fire root hunting to learn archery during the day, and at night he taught the stories on the continent and some cultivation experience to the fire ox and fire rain.
The fire root is constantly collecting materials from the prey to help Lu Feng create a well-fitting bow and arrow.
But what puzzled Lu Feng was that the fire bull had obviously reached adulthood, and there was nothing abnormal in his physical condition, but he still hadn't awakened his life soul, even with Lu Feng's help, he didn't react.
This made Lu Feng very puzzled, but he didn't know what the problem was wrong.
Around the fire, everyone gathered around and chatted.
Huo Niu asked a little frustratedly: "Brother Lu Feng, do you think I won't be able to awaken the soul of life?"
"Don't worry, although there are people whose souls can't wake up, you don't belong to that kind of people" Lu Feng comforted, if you really can't wake up your souls, forget it, but Lu Feng just felt the presence of aura in the body of the fire bull.
As if he hadn't heard Lu Feng's words, the fire bull muttered: "People who can't wake up their souls..."
The fire bull, who had great longing and expectation for soul cultivation, finally couldn't accept the status quo of 'life and soul can't wake up', and shouted madly, and then ran towards the ancestral hall in the village.
Huogen, who had just helped Lu Feng build a bow and arrow, happened to see this scene and said with concern: "What is the Fire Cow doing?"
"The soul is still not awake, and I am a little unhappy," Lu Feng explained.
"It's okay, every time I'm unhappy, this kid will always go to the ancestral hall, smell the smell of incense and candles for a while, and come out" Huo Gen smiled, and then handed a newly made bow in his hand to Lu Feng.
This is a fire root that took a long time to collect and build, and it took countless painstaking efforts, all of which Lu Feng saw in his eyes, so he cherished this new bow very much.
After taking it with both hands, Lu Feng looked at this bow of his own, from the appearance of it was not at all from the mountain village wilderness, the appearance was very exquisite, there was no rough knocking place, the bow body was jet black, much darker than the fur color of the ghost leopard, there was no cold light, it could be well hidden in the night.
The bow is a simple bow, without any fancy and practical, and it is engraved with some special patterns, some of which are similar to the lines on the Netherworld Leopard Beast Pill, but it is not exactly like it, and Lu Feng's insight is a little incomprehensible.
The color of the bowstring is a little red, like dried blood, red and black, which looks a little demonic, but it seems that it cannot be perfectly hidden in the dark night.
"You draw the bow and try it," Huogen said with some smugness, as if he knew what Lu Feng thought.
Lu Feng listened and did so.
I saw that the originally weird blood-red bowstring was gradually swallowed by darkness as the bow body stretched, and finally turned into a black bow body, which is really strange!
The moment the bow was full, Lu Feng smelled a strange fragrance, which seemed to emanate from the bow in his hand.
Lu Feng's face was full of surprise, looked at the fire root, and asked.
"Haha~ It's just some small mountain skills" Huogen smiled proudly: "I soaked this originally red bowstring with the 'wolf grass' in the village, and blended with the leopard blood it stained, and this phenomenon will occur under the force."
"Brother Huogen, thank you. Lu Feng sincerely thanked him, and kept Huogen's intentions in his heart.
"If it's your bow, give it a name," said Huogen.
"Since it is because of the Nether Leopard, let's call it the Nether Bow," Lu Feng thought for a while and said.
Just as they wanted to further communicate the magic of this bow, there was a sudden loud bang, and they saw billowing smoke and dust from the ancestral hall in the distance.
"Why did the ancestral hall collapse?" shouted a villager in the distance, fear.
"Brother Huoniu is still inside" Huoyu said worriedly when he heard this, his little face was full of fear, and he looked like he was about to cry.
"Let's go, go over and have a look," Huogen said anxiously and ran over.
Lu Feng put the Nether Bow into the Qilin Ring, placed it in the same space as the Nether Beast Pill, and followed closely behind.
The sudden collapse of the ancestral hall brought a bad premonition to every villager, after all, the ancestral hall was used to worship the ancestral spirits, and the collapse of the ancestral hall was a bad omen.
When Lu Feng and Huogen arrived, there were already many villagers surrounding the door of the ancestral hall, and everyone was watching.
"Let's let go, let's let go..."Huo Root squeezed towards the crowd, and Lu Feng followed.
The dust gradually cleared, and everyone present had an incredible look on their faces.
There is still the shadow of the ancestral hall, replaced by a huge steep hole, unfathomable, a little clear to look at.
