Chapter 33 Not Dead?

The Sky Wolf Howling Moon River roared and rushed forward as always, and personal life and death could not let it change even a little.

The power of nature.

The sun sets, the bright moon crosses the sky, the rising sun rises, the sun and the moon change, and the eternity remains unchanged.

The day is gone, the night falls, the dawn appears again, the day and night intersect, as it has been throughout the ages.

There is no eternal darkness, nor is there eternal light. The way of heaven is like this, the law is like this, and it cannot be changed by man.

In the early morning of the second day, the rising sun melted the cold night, changing the unchanged black tone of the night. The crisp sound of birds broke the silence of heaven and earth, and the lifeless heaven and earth suddenly changed its previous appearance and became vibrant.

At a bend in the river channel, the water crashed on the beach and made a "whoosh" sound, creating a semi-circular wave on the surface of the river, spreading from the bank to the center of the river.

On the beach here, a humanoid creature lies motionless at the point where the water meets the riverbank, as if it were dead.

Not far from the humanoid creature is a small river that is a small river with a width of the foot, which is the main reason for the formation of the river beach here.

If you look closely, you can see that this humanoid creature is none other than Long Jiu.

It's just that Long Jiu is no longer human, he is lying motionless on the beach, whether it is the sound of water, wind or sunlight, it has no effect on him. In one word, it is life and death.

The whole body is pale and puffy, and there are countless blisters. Everywhere there are wounds that have hit the reefs and the edge of the river, and they look shocking after being soaked in the water. His clothes were torn, his eyes were dark blue, and he could see mud and sand in his slightly open mouth.

All the internal organs in the body were displaced, five or six ribs were broken, and the bones on the body were traumatized to varying degrees. The belly is round and bulging, like a pregnant woman about to give birth.

At one point, Long Jiu's eyelids twitched slightly as the sun shone on his face, and then his eyes began to open with an effort.

Long Jiu felt as if his whole body was falling apart, without the slightest strength, his mouth was full of foreign bodies, it was extremely uncomfortable, his airways seemed to be blocked, and severe pain spread throughout his body. He was like an ant suppressed by supreme power, unable to move for half a minute, and his upper and lower eyelids seemed to be forcibly pressed together with great force, and he couldn't open them at all.

Finally, after exhausting all his strength, his closed eyes barely opened, and there was darkness in front of him. Stimulated by the strong light, the eyes that had not been opened for a long time could not adapt at all, and driven by instinct, Long Jiu's eyes that had just opened closed again.

After a long time, Long Jiu, who was barely adapting, opened his eyes again, avoiding the harsh sunlight, and Long Jiu looked at the surrounding environment.

"Where am I?" a dream-like voice came from Long Jiu's mouth.

There is no imaginary bull head and horse face, no judge, no Hades. There is no Sansheng Stone, no Nai He Bridge, no Meng Po. There are no ghosts, no hideous ghosts, and no terrible screams. There is no book of life and death, no Jizo king, and of course no divine beasts. Some are just the sound of rushing water, bright sunshine, blue sky, white clouds, waves, and sand.

"Didn't you die?"

Everything was very beautiful in Long Jiu's eyes. Even though there was nothing in his body that did not hurt now, even though he was covered with wounds, even though he did not have the slightest strength in his body. But he still felt that everything was good, because he was not dead, he was still alive. Even though he was now weaker than ever, and he was still in the dangerous Whistling Moon Mountains, he was happy.

To live, there is hope. This is the persistence in his heart, and it is also the motivation for him to live.

"Where am I?" Long Jiu thought to himself as he observed his surroundings.

Yes, he doesn't have half the strength, and even simple movement is difficult, but it doesn't mean that he will do nothing, and it's not his character to sit back and wait.

After observing the surrounding environment, Long Jiu was sure that it was safe for the time being. I don't know why, there shouldn't be any brute beasts around here. It seems that this place has reached the outermost part of the Howling Moon Mountains, but it is very remote and remote, and there are no people.

"It's too weak, and now, even ordinary people can easily kill me. It wasn't an option, but now I had nothing left but one injury, and it was even more difficult to recover. Thinking of this injury all over his body, Long Jiu's heart was full of helplessness.

"No, no matter what it takes, I'm going to recover from my injuries, at least somewhat. "Long Jiu knows how to make trade-offs, as long as he lives, no matter what he gives, he may get it back.

Long Jiu began to carry the Python Jiao Transformation Exercise Method, extracting qi and blood from all over his body to recover his injuries. Long Jiu's pale skin began to change, and soon took on a very unusual rosy appearance.

Yes, an unusual rosy.

Qi and blood are undoubtedly very important to a martial artist. If the body of a warrior is regarded as a tank, then the size of the tank determines the amount of water it can hold, and the qi and blood are this water. When the water tank is filled with water, it means that the martial artist has reached the current state of Great Perfection. The process of every warrior's breakthrough is the process of breaking the water tank and recasting it. The tank couldn't hold more water, but we needed more water, so we recast a bigger tank. The size of this water tank is the size of the warrior's potential, and the amount of water in it represents the strength of the warrior.

Theoretically, the water in the samurai's tank is full.

And what Long Jiu is doing now is pumping out the water in the water tank for his own use, and his behavior is tantamount to squeezing his own potential.

Why?

It's not that after he extracted qi and blood, this cylinder became smaller, but that the sealing of this cylinder was too strong. Although the tank has not become smaller, the water in the tank has decreased, but it is difficult to add this water. Every time Long Jiu breaks through in the future, the water tank will still be larger according to the same proportion as before, but the difference is that even if Long Jiu reaches perfection, the water in the water tank still can't be filled, but the tank becomes larger. This is equivalent to the water tank becoming smaller in disguise.

In this way, how could Long Jiu not feel distressed.

But in order to survive, Long Jiu had to do this.

Time passed minute by minute, and Long Jiu's qi and blood continued to decrease.

Two hours later, Long Jiu's injuries had recovered a bit, and now he was probably equivalent to the appearance of refining the body. It's just that his qi and blood have dropped by two percent, which is comparable to his previous late stage.

"I can only go here, if I draw qi and blood again, I will be useless. Long Jiu stopped, his mouth full of bitterness. Even if he recovered the Nine Great Consummations of Body Refining, his strength would be comparable to his previous late Stage of Body Refining Ninefold, which was equivalent to a full two percent drop in his strength, and it could be permanent.

"Although the qi and blood have been drained, it's okay, there is still a way to recover, it's just too difficult. "What is not lacking on the mainland is miracles, and some natural treasures can be restored.

Long Jiu was still motionless, and although he now had the ability to act, he still maintained his previous appearance. for a water serpent was crawling towards him.

The size of the bowl, the length of the zhang, the whole body is inky. Through perception, Long Jiu found that this guy was equivalent to the triple appearance of the first refining body, and he was slowly swimming towards the shore from the water.

"Don't blame me, if you want to blame your bad luck, if you can come earlier, I will be the unlucky. Long Jiu thought secretly.

Seeing that there were alien creatures on the shore, the water snake suddenly stopped, and kept spitting snake letters and hissing in its mouth. This water snake has not been here for a day or two, every time it has come here in the past, there are no creatures here, and the appearance of Long Jiu today makes it very vigilant. However, Long Jiu has a great attraction to it, and out of animal instinct, it can feel that as long as it can swallow Long Jiu, it will gain great benefits.

This fatal temptation is not something that a small water snake can resist.

It slowly approached Long Jiu, and then circled around Long Jiu a few times with great anxiety. After making sure that there was no danger, its head slowly stretched out above Long Jiu, trying to swallow Long Jiu.

At this moment, Long Jiu moved. Although the bones in his body did not recover, he still had some strength.

Long Jiu's hands accurately pinched the water snake's seven inches, and at the same time, his teeth pierced into the water snake's body, transporting the python Jiao transformation.

As soon as the water snake was attacked, the snake body wrapped around Long Jiu's body, and Long Jiu almost couldn't hold it and let go, but with the support of his strong will, he still held the water snake tightly after all.

Under the traction of the exercises, the blood and life essence of the water snake poured into Long Jiu's body. A quarter of an hour later, there was not a single drop of blood in the water snake's body, and the water snake was too dead to die.

Feeling that there was no stock in his stomach, Long Jiu didn't care if the water snake meat was shriveled and hard, so he only peeled off the snake skin and stuffed the snake meat into his mouth.

"It's delicious!" The unpalatable raw snake meat became a delicacy in Long Jiu's mouth.

After that, Long Jiu didn't bother to move, maintaining the same posture and letting his body recover on its own. Except for the necessary sobriety, Long Jiu felt as if he was dead.

"This time, if Lan Xiuxue had been left by his side, this would not have happened. But I, Long Jiu, never need to let others shelter me from the wind and rain. Thinking about it, Long Jiu didn't regret it.

Purple qi once again diffused from the east. After absorbing the purple qi, Long Jiu's injuries recovered a bit. Thanks to the strength of the python Jiao, many of Long Jiu's bones have now begun to heal, and the wounds on his body have begun to scab.

The sun rises and sets, and the three days pass quickly.

Three days, in just three days, Long Jiu's injuries recovered six or seven points. Except for major injuries such as broken ribs, other places on the body have recovered.

"Shilong Nine Changes, what kind of exercises are you? Not only can you make my bloodline evolve, but also have such a powerful healing ability? I am really looking forward to you more and more. ”

On the morning of the third day, Long Jiu, who had finished cultivating the python transformation, was talking to himself while checking his strength.

In the past three days, although Long Jiu kept hunting and killing all kinds of beasts to help him recover, Long Jiu never believed that the blood of those beasts was the reason why he recovered so quickly.

"What the hell is your secret?" Listening to the roar coming from the small river of Zhangxukuan, Long Jiu decided to go and find out.
