The situation on the continent has changed drastically, but none of this has anything to do with the three of Shenhuan who are hiding in the Central Mountain Range to do penance.

As early as the time of the Ninth Decision of the Martyr's Chapter, Shenhuan had already understood that in this world where power is supreme, only with power can he have the right to achieve change.

When your life is still being watched by poisonous snakes, instead of worrying about the country and the people, you should think about how to free yourself from the threat of poisonous snakes and sharp teeth.

Zhuo Qing and Tu Lie have been honing and improving through practice these days, and the battle of life and death is imminent, and no one wants to be the lagging corner of the stable triangle.

Even if Zhuo Qing had to complain that he had time to fight against a humanoid beast every day, it really hurt his elegant temperament, but when it came to practice, he was unambiguous.

Shenhuan, who had stepped into the Heavenly Realm, was not in a hurry to improve his strength, and sat under the waterfall in the mountains all day long.

It was a coincidence that he was promoted from the Heavenly Rank to the Heavenly Realm by leaps and bounds, and the power obtained in this way was very unstable, so when he was in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, Shen Huan had to pour out the abundant Gang Qi at that time with a single sword. Shen Huan knew very well that the power he couldn't control, and forcibly staying, would only destroy himself.

These days, in addition to stabilizing his strength, Shenhuan is more often thinking about how to maximize his combat effectiveness.

A warrior's combat power is actually composed of four parts: Gang Qi, Laws, Combat Skills, and Weapons.

Both the Gang Qi and the Law are difficult for Shen Huan to improve for the time being. Shen Huan was puzzled for a while as to why the soul seed that had grown significantly did not bring abilities other than "soul vision", and after several thoughts, he didn't come to any conclusion, so he had to put it aside for the time being.

In terms of combat skills, Shenhuan was taught by Gongliang Mingxiao, based on the twelve skills of "The Extreme Intention of the Sword", combined with the ninety-nine-eighty-one ordinary changes and ninety-nine-eighty-one special changes of the sword style, the sword skills came at will, and came out at will, far more powerful than the combat skills practiced by ordinary martial artists.

Shenhuan has understood that blindly imitating will eventually lead to difficulties, and the one that suits him is the strongest!

What's more, Shen Huan still has the last sword technique that Gongliang Mingxiao passed on that is not unusable in a desperate situation, so in terms of combat skills, Shen Huan doesn't have to worry too much.

What really bothers Shen Huan is his weapon, the Heart Sword!

The Sword of Inquiry is a very magical weapon, and its performance is closely related to Shenhuan's state of mind.

As early as when Shen Huan was adventuring in the underground world, the Sword of Inquiry had already absorbed the black wood stone, and it stands to reason that the sword body would no longer have a lustrous reflection. However, when Shen Huan recently used some castration sword techniques, the Conscience Sword would refract a compelling cold glow, and the characteristics of the black wood stone seemed to be hidden.

Then there is the special ability to absorb Gang Qi after absorbing the strange black stone under the ruins of the Yellow Sand Corridor, since Shen Huan returned to the Trace of Time and obtained a new breakthrough in sword skills and sword intent, this ability seems to have disappeared, and it has never appeared again, and Shen Huan has almost forgotten the existence of this ability. It wasn't until recently, when Shen Huan accidentally remembered and took the initiative to urge him, that he found that the Asking Heart Sword still had this magical ability.

The ability of the Sword of Inquiry seems to form an irreconcilable contradiction with Shenhuan's sword skills, one is strong, the other is weak, and if one can completely explode, the other must completely disappear.

In the battle, how to choose between the two, or how to change flexibly, has become the most important issue for Shenhuan at present.

Life is a path that cannot be re-chosen, and every choice at the fork in the road will determine the direction of the future. The same is true of the path of cultivation, every choice on the path of cultivation determines how far a person can ultimately go on this path, and there is no room for neglect.

"The one who took a shower over there, if you don't want to be hungry at night, come over quickly. Zhuo Qing's voice interrupted Shenhuan's musings.

When he opened his eyes and saw that it was getting late and the stars were beginning to shine, he realized that he had spent another whole day under this waterfall.

Shen Huan walked out from under the waterfall, his steps relaxed and natural. After sitting under this waterfall for so many days, he has long since lost his initial discomfort.

The smell of barbecue wafted in the mountains and forests, and the three of them didn't care, if there were long-eyed beasts following the smell, it would just become their food tomorrow.

Zhuo Qing took a piece of barbecue in his left hand and ate it in small bites, while his right hand manipulated a small flame to swim around Shenhuan's body, drying Shenhuan's soaked clothes.

Initially, Zhuo Qing was extremely opposed to doing this, claiming that no noble sorcerer had ever done such a thing. But after Shenhuan wiped the scabbard, Zhuo Qing obediently started his "new job".

After baking Shenhuan's clothes for a few days, Zhuo Qing found that his control over the fire spell had improved, and under his joy, he changed from passive to active, and carefully dried Shenhuan's clothes every day during meals.

"How did you get today?" asked Shen Huan, sitting down with his back against the trunk of the big tree where he usually rested.

"What can happen, of course, is roasting someone up and down like a roasted sweet potato tumbling on a tongue of fire. Zhuo Qing replied while glancing at "someone" with a smug gaze.

Tu Lie was immediately furious, threw aside the unfinished barbecue, lifted his giant hammer, and roared: "You are still embarrassed to say it, if my hammer is smashed down at that time, it is guaranteed that your little head will immediately turn into a broken watermelon." After I stopped, you attacked me and almost injured me. Now you're embarrassed to say me, come! We'll do it all over again!"

"Tomorrow, it's time to rest today. Zhuo Qing casually found an excuse to push off Tu Lie's appointment. He's not stupid, now that Tu Lie is angry, there must be no seriousness in his attack, and now he goes to the competition, isn't he looking for guilt?

Tu Lie saw Zhuo Qing's refusal, and was about to scold, when suddenly, the bushes in the distance moved slightly. Although the sound was very slight, it still attracted the attention of the three of them.

"It should be some kind of heaven-level beast, it can sneak to such a close place, and the ability to hide is very good. Shenhuan was still resting against the trunk of the tree, and had no intention of getting up.

Tu Lie, who was powerful and had nowhere to go, saw that a beast with no eyes dared to come to death, and he was about to jump over with a giant hammer to process the beast into pulp.

Tu Lie's legs were about to exert strength, when a gust of wind suddenly blew the forest to the ground. The bushes where the beast was hiding were also crushed by the gust of wind by three points, revealing the beast's brown body.

Without waiting for the beast to react, a huge cyan figure fell from the sky, and with a flash of white light, it split the Heavenly Rank Beast into two pieces!

Looking at this huge cyan figure, the hostility on Tu Lie's face disappeared completely, and he sat aside happily.

Shen Huan and Zhuo Qing stood up and walked over to the huge cyan figure. Shen Huan raised his hand and gently stroked the scarred hard shell, and his palm trembled slightly.

"It's great that you're still alive. Shenhuan's movements were very light, but his voice could not hide his excitement and joy.

This cyan figure is the disaster mantis that met the three of them!

In the first battle of the Shuozhou Law Raid Field, after the Disaster Mantis eliminated its opponent, it could not find any trace of the three of Shenhuan, and coupled with its serious injuries, it could only temporarily return to the Central Mountain Range to recuperate.

After all this time, the original scars on the shell of the Calamity Mantis are still clearly visible, which is enough to prove how badly it was injured at that time!

Looking at these scars, Shen Huan and Zhuo Qing couldn't help but recall the scene when the disaster mantis sent them out and broke them alone.

At the time, they were in a bitter and sad mood. Because, everyone understands that those who are left behind are not alive......

Since then, Shen Huan and Zhuo Qing no longer see the Calamity Mantis as a notorious Heaven-level beast, but as a close friend who shares adversity and suffering.

It's just that this friend, as soon as he got it, he has lost his ......

Now, they were amazed to see their friend who they thought was dead standing in front of them heroically, and his strength and demeanor were better than before, so they couldn't help but be surprised.

The Calamity Mantis lowered its high triangular head and rubbed Shenhuan and Zhuo Qing, expressing the same ecstasy in its heart as the two of them.

This scene, if outsiders see it, they will definitely drop their jaws.

Who would have imagined that the disaster mantis, known for its ferocity and murderousness, bravery and aggressiveness, also has such a side......
