Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Hunter in the Shadows
At night, in the quiet inn, Duke had just practiced the Giant Bear Technique for three hours, and at this time, while recovering his mental strength, he was holding Melville's cultivation codex and flipping through it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since Thor left, he was able to cultivate without distractions, and in just a few days, he felt that his control over his mental power and body had increased a lot, and the duration of the Giant Bear Technique had also increased by two seconds.
Although this kind of progress is not slow, it is still too single and weak to compete with Sol, who has already been promoted to the fourth level, once it doesn't work, it is almost difficult to have a chance to turn the tables, so recently he will read Melville's cultivation codex when he has time, if he can find a way to break through the realm, it is naturally best to successfully upgrade to the fourth level, if not, it is also good to comprehend the way to improve his strength.
Due to the fact that the cultivation environment six thousand years ago was fundamentally different from now, there was a complete inheritance at that time, and there was a moonlight woodland, so the cultivation process of the druids in the early stage was recorded very simply in Melville's cultivation codex, and for Melville, a great genius, his so-called early stage was before the seventh level.
This situation will naturally have an impact on Duke, and the direction of turning into a bear is fine, when he learned the bear transformation technique, he "saw" that the giant bear spirit demonstrated a large number of skills, and the cultivation codex was more like a "text explanation" for him, but the progress of the transformation technique was not very smooth.
However, it was precisely because of this that he knew that in the direction of the Bear Transformation Technique, all he could do at this stage was to improve the "Giant Bear Technique", and what could bring him a breakthrough was the Leopard Transformation Technique.
At this time, what he was reading was the cultivation experience of the Leopard Transformation Technique, but unlike usual, every time he finished reading a page, he didn't even turn the page, and he couldn't help but look back at Melville's description of the Leopard Transformation Technique at the beginning.
Based on Melville's habits and his experience with bear transformation, this description is supposed to be a summary of the characteristics and programmatic aspects of the art of transforming into a leopard, but it is so simple that it is only one sentence: cheetah, hunter in the shadows.
This sentence is very easy to understand, he didn't take it to heart before, but now he looks at it over and over again, and always feels that something is missing, and when it comes to the back, he doesn't even care about anything, just stares at this sentence.
Time passed without noticing, and soon the next morning came.
Since the elves have the ability to see at night, in order not to disturb himself, Duke simply turned off the lights - the lights in the Elven King City are very "environmentally friendly", and when the lights are turned off, the fish tank containing the glow-in-the-dark swimming fish can be directly pulled down.
The lights went out, and the light in the bedroom dimmed, and at this moment of light and off, Duke's heart moved, as if he had captured something, but as his eyes adjusted to the light in the room, the feeling of a flash of inspiration dissipated without a trace.
Duke thought about it for a while, but he didn't find that feeling, so he looked down at the pamphlet again, but at this time, although his eyes were on the book, the thoughts in his mind began to diverge, all of which were the biographies he had read during this time and the scenes when he was cultivating.
At some point, it was no longer his body that sat in place, but instead turned into a beautiful black cheetah.
By the time the stars and moon set to the west, the darkest hour of pre-dawn light arrived.
In the darkness, Duke seemed to hear a mysterious whisper, and then he felt like a marshmallow melted into the water, and his body slowly melted into the darkness.
At this time, his mind was like a huge lightning bolt in the dark night, and he remembered the scene he saw when he learned the art of transforming into a leopard, and the spirit of the ancient cheetah did not disappear directly in the end, but demonstrated a skill: stealth!
Cheetah, hunter in the shadows!
He finally understood the meaning of this sentence, and then his spiritual power rose like a rising tide, although he still couldn't rise to the fourth level, but the growth of his spiritual power itself was a pleasant thing for body and mind.
What's more, this skill gives him a big hole card for the battle: stealth, others can't see him, he has the first hand advantage, and he has the final say when to attack!
What's more, stealth allows him to choose his opponent's weak points to attack!
This is the most powerful part of the leopard transformation, and only then can it live up to Melville's description of the "hunter in the shadows"!
At the same time, he also knew that stealth was a fourth-level skill, and then understood why he didn't realize that it was caused by the difference in level and realm at the time, but now he can comprehend it without a spell because it is a cheetah's innate skill.
Therefore, although it is also a skill that transcends the realm and level, its consumption of spiritual power is not as powerful as that of the Giant Bear Technique, and it lasted for nearly five minutes for the first use.
After the excitement, he soon realized that there was a problem: could this skill be undetectable to others?
............
The morning arrived again as promised, and another group of people were waiting outside the String Moon Forest Hotel.
At this time, Duke's door was open, and they looked in from time to time, hoping that Duke would appear in front of them with the crystal mooncakes they needed earlier, but no one noticed that Duke they were looking for was "sitting" in front of them, in the form of a cheetah.
After waiting for a while, he found that everyone had not been aware of his existence, Duke breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, which showed that others could not see him in the state of invisibility, and then he walked around the room again, but this time several people looked at him suspiciously, which showed that exercise would reduce the effect of stealth, but I don't know if those people noticed the abnormality because of the changes in the environment brought about by exercise, or the difference in the reflection of various parts of the body caused by exercise, these still need to be tested and improved by him in the future.
Seeing that everyone was waiting anxiously, and he was about to start a new day of cultivation, he hurried back to make the crystal moon cakes, because he was in a good mood, this time he changed his language to write on the moon cakes.
Accustomed to seeing the original font where every word looked like a picture, and then looking at this kind of pure line outline, connected with a neat and orderly beauty, everyone felt fresh and surprised, Duke smiled and explained: "This is the script used in a coastal island nation before the formation of the New World, and it is said that many tribes that have spread to it, even some large tribes, have forced their people to learn this language......"
This kind of legendary and novel thing can touch the hearts of girls, and everyone readily accepts it, but some people ask Duke how he knows this language, Duke laughs and does not answer, just tells them the method and meaning of each sentence, and then begins his daily practice again.
Over the next few days, he continued to experiment and refine his stealth skills.
The first is the problem that is easy to be found in sports, he found that the main reason is that exercise will definitely bring changes in the sound, airflow, breath and other environments, and they can only be solved by continuous practice, his ability to control the body is not weak, and there has been a lot of progress in a few days, but the smartest way is undoubtedly to integrate into the environment, which is not something that can be done in a short time.
Then in the question of what kind of environment can be used, he found that as long as there is a shadow, whether it is a tree, a wall or other objects, whether it is night or day, he can use the stealth skill, but it is easier to use the light in a dark place than in a place with strong light.
In addition, he originally thought that there was no way to use stealth under the sun and moonlight, but in the state of stealth, he found that even in the brightest sunlight, he felt the existence of shadows, and he didn't know where these shadows came from, maybe they were projections of other stars?
Either way, he boldly speculated that if he could feel the presence of those shadows under normal circumstances, he might be able to go into stealth at any time, if only that were the case, but he couldn't do it yet.
While Duke was busy cultivating, Thor came to the Elven King City again, in addition to honestly paying the auction money, he also brought three chefs from the White Lake tribe who learned to make crystal mooncakes, and rented a house near the King City Square at a very high price, and opened it in full swing.
He originally wanted to overwhelm Duke's business, but in this regard, he didn't understand the psychology of customers as well as Duke.
Isn't it scolding to buy cheap things for girls?
There are also the two words on the moon cakes, and only Duke can write, which has become the most obvious mark.
Therefore, his new store was opened for more than ten days, not only did it not affect Duke's business, but his own sales were affected, and even many people felt that it was a shame to enter his store, and finally he took people away with depression.
Two days after Thor left, Duke had packed his things and was ready to go back, when he received a letter from his teacher that the Moonlight Glade was expected to open on February 10th, and that he would be back to the tribe on the 9th at the latest.
PS: Thank you book friends: reading books and knowing how to act, super boring bookmakers, and rice porridge with sugar tips.
Then let's talk to you casually here, about novels, in fact, I know what a good novel looks like, so when writing, he will try to lean in that direction, but because of physical, state, level and accumulation, etc., many times he can't do it, and most of people's pain comes from pursuing things that they can't do, so writing also brings me a lot of pressure and pain......
Book friends Black Pearl and Little Q Bear both say that writing should be continuous, and I understand the reason, but sometimes, especially when there is a physical condition, it is really difficult to do it......
Of course, what you said is right, and I will do my best to insist on it, after all, I want to write books for a living, in addition, although it will be very painful to write badly, but when I write well, I will be very happy, and this happiness cannot be brought by doing anything else~
