Chapter 13: The Stone-Eating Rat
"Yes, it's finally a beginner, but for you now, the foundation is not stable, and the most important thing is to guard against arrogance and rashness, and enhance your strength. ”
Seeing that Qiu Ze had actually reached the realm of a third-order martial artist in such a short period of time, Lei Zun's heart was also somewhat surprised, especially the scene where Qiu Ze faced the thunder before also deeply shocked Lei Zun's heart.
Qiu Ze, this kid is not bad, this is the first time that Lei Zun has affirmed Qiu Ze's achievements.
"I understand, cultivation is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat, but I don't know if we want to continue cultivating now?"
Although Qiu Ze stepped into the Nine Realms of Martial Arts, his cultivation in just one day made rapid progress, but it was precisely because of the improvement of his cultivation that Qiu Ze's respect for Lei Zun became stronger.
"Cultivation is not necessary, what you have to do now is to lay the foundation for the second stage of cultivation, but compared to the first stage of cultivation, future cultivation will cost more resources, so you will have to support yourself from now on. ”
"Self-sufficient?"
Hearing Lei Zun's words, Qiu Ze's eyes showed a trace of doubt.
"Yes, the resources of 1,000 Amethyst Coins were enough to meet your cultivation for up to three months, but as your cultivation improves, the resources required are also an astonishing number, so you have to learn to find resources on your own. ”
Lei Zun said this, with a hint of solemnity on his face.
"Yes, I see. ”
Although Lei Zun didn't say how many resources he needed, Qiu Ze was still keenly aware that these resources might not be available to him through coins now, so he obediently chose to obey.
So for the next period of time, Qiu Ze spent time in the constant hunting of low-level demon beasts.
There are many kinds of demon beasts, and they can be divided into one to nine grades according to their cultivation from low to high, one of which is just equivalent to a martial artist in the realm of human martial arts, but the nine-grade demon beast is no less than a human martial saint general powerhouse, extremely powerful and rare.
Fortunately, most of the first-grade low-level demon beasts in the Yanwolf Mountain are comparable to Qiu Ze's cultivation, even if they occasionally encounter first-grade high-level or even second-grade demon beasts, Qiu Ze is invincible, and he can escape safely.
Hunting a large number of low-level demon beasts for a long time, although it is somewhat boring, but on the one hand, this is the only way to accumulate resources, and on the other hand, you can also be proficient in fighting skills, which is beneficial and harmless.
It's just that although Qiu Ze's cultivation has reached the realm of a third-order martial artist, because of the lack of martial arts, he can't give full play to his full strength.
The martial arts on the Kamikaze Continent can be divided into five grades: Saint, Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang according to their ranks, and each grade is correspondingly divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower.
As far as Qiu Ze knew, although the Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion had a Huang Pin upper-level martial art, with Qiu Ze's low-level status, Qiu Ze was not qualified to cultivate this technique at all.
Therefore, the martial arts used by Qiu Ze during this period are all from the family exercises cultivated by the earth, and he does not know the specific level of this set of martial arts.
However, judging from the results of the next use, Qiu Ze found that these martial arts did not seem to fit well with the Lei Yuan he cultivated, and he could not exert his full strength at all.
"It seems that if you have a chance, you still have to get a high-grade martial arts, otherwise if you don't have a suitable martial art, your strength will inevitably be greatly reduced. ”
Qiu Ze had an idea in his heart, so he worked harder and harder when hunting the low-level demon beasts in the Flame Wolf Mountain, but in just half a month, he hunted no less than a hundred demon beasts of all kinds.
In a crevice in a mountain cliff, Akisawa was immersed in a half-man-high stone groove, and even if he was far away, a disgusting smell of blood would still come from afar.
"I didn't expect that the power of this bone and blood bath was four or five times more powerful than the medicinal bath, Lei Zun really didn't say wrong, if you want to make a qualitative change in your cultivation, you still have to rely on yourself. ”
As he watched as he sat in a liquid made entirely of blood, Akizawa's face was full of emotion.
The bone blood bath is the auxiliary means required for the second stage of cultivation in Lei Zun's mouth, and it is not complicated, it is a medicinal bath that is mixed with various precious mountain elixirs every time the blood of low-level demon beasts is collected.
This kind of medicinal bath is of great help to a martial artist like Qiu Ze who has gone through the first stage of cultivation, although the hundreds of demon beasts that Qiu Ze has hunted in the past half a month have only concocted three bone and blood baths, but it is these three bone and blood baths that have given Qiu Ze a reborn change.
Originally fifteen-year-old Qiu Ze's body was extremely weak because of his young age and lack of nutrition.
But after several current soaks in medicinal baths and bone and blood baths, Qiu Ze's body at this time does not look like a fifteen-year-old boy at all, and judging from his strong muscles, no one will doubt that he is twenty years old.
After more than three months of secluded practice, the childishness on Akizawa's face disappeared without a trace, replaced by perseverance and calmness, full of a kind of wisdom that does not match his age.
"It's almost time, it's time to go out hunting. ”
Feeling the bone and blood bath where the medicinal power was getting weaker and weaker, Qiu Ze sighed, picked up a fur, casually draped it on his body, picked up a rusty broken sword, and walked outside.
The broken sword was picked up by Qiu Ze by chance in a mountain depression, although it did not look good, but it was very sharp, and Qiu Ze had already used it very easily, so as long as he went out hunting, he would inevitably take this broken sword with him.
Although Dacheng is located in the southern part of the Kamikaze Continent, the winter is still very cold, and there are layers of snow on the ground, and it seems that it was another heavy snowfall last night.
Qiu Ze put the fur on his shoulders casually, although the north wind was howling, but because of the baptism of bone and blood during this period of time, the power of Qi and blood in Qiu Ze's body was extremely strong, and it was like holding a brazier all day long, so he turned a blind eye to this biting cold wind.
Looking at the snow-covered mountains in front of him, Qiu Ze's body was not arrogant or impatient, and he sneaked for more than ten minutes to come to a big tree where two people hugged each other for a moment.
After looking around at the terrain, it was very good, this place was especially suitable for ambushes, Akisawa knew it, and then dug a small pit next to the tree that could accommodate one person, jumped into it, and then covered the snow again on his body, making a disguise that he was not aware of.
"Rustle, rustle. ”
I don't know how long it took, but Akizawa, who had been in a latent state, suddenly heard a strange sound in front of him, which seemed to be as crisp as a mouse eating something.
"Stone-eating rats!"
Hearing this sound, Qiu Ze's eyes lit up, and when he looked up, he saw a strange mouse the size of a goat and golden fur appeared only four or five feet away from him, but to Qiu Ze's surprise, the stone eater in front of him seemed to be different from what he remembered.
"Strange, I remember that the size of the middle-level Stone Eater Rat King is only the size of a puppy, but the Stone Eater Rat in front of me is obviously much bigger, but it doesn't matter, the Demon Crystal of the Stone Eater Rat is an indispensable item for prospecting, and it is worth a lot of money. ”
Akisawa shook the broken sword in his hand, staring at the movement of the stone eater rat without blinking.
The Stone-Eater didn't seem to be aware of the danger of the ambush around it, and was still intently searching for something.
"Right now. ”
Seeing that the stone eater rat did not find himself, Qiu Ze's eyes suddenly lit up, and then a figure flashed, like a winged Dapeng, brandishing a broken sword, slashing towards the stone eater rat's head, a few feet away, but it was there in the blink of an eye.
Sensing Qiu Ze's movements, the stone eater was startled and wanted to dodge to avoid it, but his naturally bloated body was completely unavoidable, so there was no other way but to try his sword with his body.
A smile appeared on Qiu Ze's face, although the stone devouring rat was a first-class demon beast, there was no threat on his whole body except for the pair of sharp teeth that could gnaw stone and jade, so for this kind of demon beast, Qiu Ze was naturally handy.
"Stop!"
It's just that before Qiu Ze's broken sword looked at the body of the stone eater, Qiu Ze suddenly heard a woman's voice behind him.
"Hmph, I'm almost done, and you want me to stop, do you think I'm a fool? ”
After hearing the woman's words, Qiu Ze's heart sank, but after thinking of the value of the Stone Devouring Rat Demon Crystal, he immediately didn't even look at the other party, but kept moving towards the Stone Devouring Rat.
"Bold, if that's the case, let's die. ”
Seeing that Qiu Ze didn't mean to stop at all, the words of the woman behind him changed, and she immediately became cold, and immediately stopped talking nonsense, took out the soul chasing arrow, pulled the bow and arrow, and shot behind Qiu Ze angrily.
