25. Vipers

The jungle in the dark is not quiet.

The roars, the bites, the crumbling of rocks and trees, the screams of night owls flying over the jungle, the crawling of countless insects, and so on.

The boy awoke from his slumber and clenched the missing sword, always on guard against the sudden intrusion of beasts and poisonous insects.

Thankfully, the first night was uneventful.

In fact, it is also because it is only on the edge of the jungle, and powerful beasts rarely show up here. If there were demon beasts above the third order, with their powerful sense of smell, it would be difficult for the young man to escape the hunt.

Picking up the vines and carefully observing the situation around the cave, he carefully touched it out.

He thought about it for a moment and decided to do something. He cut down a pliable branch, and used those tough vines as strings, and it took more than an hour to make a bow.

He pulled lightly, swished loosened the bowstring, and the bow hummed violently for a while before it calmed down.

The young man looked a little satisfied. Then I started making arrows. The sword was very sharp, and he cut a neat piece of hardwood, then cut it into thin branches, carved it with the edge of the sword to be unusually smooth, and then sharpened one end to sharpen the sharp wing. The wings on the tip of the arrow are good for balance and accuracy, and can shoot farther.

He took the trouble to polish the arrows until Shen Shi finished dealing with them.

He whizz an arrow and slammed it into the trunk of a towering tree, with a buzzing sound.

Next, after carefully surveying the surrounding landscape, he decided to set some traps.

Some of the boy's knowledge was learned by his mother, and some of it was learned by himself while hunting wild beasts.

He weaved a net out of vines, spread it on the ground, covered it with a layer of grass to camouflage, and set the trigger aside.

Then, he aimed at a tall rock on a steep slope. He walked over and pushed, and the earth and rocks fell one after another, and sure enough, it was as good as he expected. He used a piece of wood to pry the rock looser and looser, then dug up the floating soil underneath, made a pry mechanism on the back of the rock, and connected the hole with a long rattan to make a trigger mechanism.

This was his last defensive step, and if a fierce beast rashly broke into the cave, it would inevitably lead the rock to fall and deal a fatal blow to the fierce beast!

On the second and third days, he dug many traps under the steep slope and near the creek. There are many sharp spears inserted under the trap, and there are also falling rocks next to them, so if a fierce beast falls into it, it will be difficult to escape under the double blow.

He knows it's good to be prepared, to be on time.

He let out a long breath and let go of his mind a little. He knew that every step of the way in this jungle was a killing machine, and if he didn't make careful arrangements, it would be difficult for him to survive with his level of cultivation.

He saw this as his final retreat. With this home, he feels a lot more at ease.

On the fourth day, with a bow on his back, he decided to go farther away.

His little wings waded across the river into an even denser forest.

Under your feet is a thick layer of ** fallen leaves, and it rustles when you step on it. This made him more and more uneasy. In the end, he decided to quickly get out of this place of right and wrong.

He grabbed a thick vine and climbed up a large tree, higher and higher, until he came to a branch that crossed the sky, and sat cross-legged.

Not far away, there was a sudden movement on the ground, getting closer and closer, and there was a snorting sound from the mouth, constantly turning the dead branches and grass, searching for the fresh mycorrhizae under the dead leaves.

It was a huge mountain warthog, covered in brown hair, with many white patterns and wart spots on its face, and two sharp fangs curled up from its mouth, frantically churning at the fungi and fat rhizomes under the dead leaves, and swallowing it so loudly that it did not let go of some fat insects.

The mountain warthog was frantically enjoying a delicious meal, but saw a dark shadow in the dead leaves hiss, and shot under the warthog's jaw like lightning, and two sharp fangs bit deep into the warthog's hairy blood, and with a whoosh, retracted back to the place, staring at the warthog.

It was a huge snake about two feet long, covered in gray-brown lines, with its head raised high at the moment, its neck swelled into a flat shape, and the venom letter hissed out.

The warthog was bitten by the huge poisonous snake in the cold, and the severe pain came, and it instantly began to go crazy.

The mountain warthog rushed at the huge viper, stirring up dead leaves and flying in the air.

The serpent's huge body trembled in the air like a tough vine, and it easily dodged the warthog's attack, and bit the warthog several times in succession.

The screams of the warthogs could be heard far and wide in the deep forest.

The young man was shocked, if he hadn't decided to change the route temporarily, he might have been poisoned by the huge snake at this moment.

The warthog launched several crazy attacks in succession, so that one of its fangs was broken, and at this moment, the powerful venom had poured into its heart with the qi and blood around its body, and its breathing became shorter and shorter, and suddenly it fell to the ground with a bang, and its breath was dying.

It was a long time before the huge viper let its guard down and swam slowly to the dead pig, where it squeezed through the warthog's slightly open mouth until it swam nearly halfway in its body, and then stopped, devouring its organs and flesh from within.

Because the snake's venom was so violent, it didn't take long for the organs and flesh to turn into minced meat, which made it very easy for the snake to eat. After a while, when the viper had eaten its fill, it lazily withdrew from the shriveled warthog, and hid under the thick dead leaves, where it was nowhere to be seen.

Silence returned to the woods.

It turned out to be the territory of the nameless viper. It's no wonder that there are so few prey here.

The boy remembered the mysterious movements of the poisonous snake at this moment, and he couldn't help but start to imitate it.

So much so that I didn't pay attention to my feet and almost fell.

The boy tried many times in succession, and his movements seemed to be as agile as the snake, but he always felt that something was missing.

So, he decided to stay here for a few more days to meditate on the snake's predatory movements.

He ate some jerky when he was hungry and drank some water when he was thirsty. Then, he continued to sit on the branch and practice the perception of the subtle realm, while quietly waiting for the snake's next predation.

After a few days, I finally waited for the snake's second hunt.

This time the prey was a sturdy deer dog, whose speed and endurance far surpassed that of the mountain warthog.

This animal is very strange, with the body of a deer and the head of a dog, it has always been fierce and abnormal, and it is completely carnivorous.

The cunning deer dog walked cautiously, and suddenly stopped in alarm, and its nostrils sniffed for the scent.

At this moment, the attack of the huge poisonous snake was launched like lightning!

The deer dog jumped to a height and seemed to have easily dodged the attack of the poisonous snake.

Before its body could fall, the viper's body writhed and turned to its predetermined position.

At this moment, there was a shocking roar in the air, and a circle of blood lines suddenly erupted on the body of the deer dog, so that its body could move a foot in a direction, and rolled on the spot, narrowly avoiding this strange attack of the poisonous snake.

The deer dog jumped a few feet away, looking up to the sky and neighing. Obviously, the rash attack of this poisonous snake completely angered it!

Its limbs were tense as stakes, and it looked down at the viper and roared.

The serpent swayed from side to side like a vine, swaying through the fleeting phantom, and in an instant it reached the center, its head held high in the air, and it hissed defiantly in arrogance.

The two hunters and the hunted confronted each other, and the forest fell silent.

In an instant, there was a thud, and the long black shadow rolled in the air and fell into the dead grass. The deer dog, on the other hand, struggled to get up after rolling on the ground several times.

At this moment, the poisonous snake was already neighing in the dead leaves, and the deer dog retreated sharply, and suddenly kicked the ground on its hind legs, and rose sharply, opening its sharp teeth and biting at the poisonous snake.

I saw that the poisonous snake had evaded the head of the deer dog very strangely, and with a hiss, an incomparably cracked mouth quickly bit the neck of the deer dog, injecting venom instantly.

The viper attacked the neck of its prey every time. The neck is rich in blood vessels, and the qi and blood rush, which helps the venom to attack in a very short time.

The young man remembered what her mother told him to break the delusion, quiet as a wolf's plate, and if he moved, he would kill the vital point with one blow, isn't it the same as this poisonous snake?

He pondered the flavor and fell into deep thought.

The viper shrank back like a spring, staring warily at the deer dog.

The deer dog let out a miserable wail, suddenly turned around, and hurried away.

The viper did not pursue.

It watched from afar as the deer dog staggered, and finally fell, and after a while, it swam over, still through its mouth, and struck at the weakest point of the inside.

This poisonous snake is so ferocious!

Quiet as a wolf? Quiet as a snake?

The boy felt as if he had grasped something. The snake engine seems to be relatively clever compared to the wolf disk.

The wolf coil accumulates its whole body, stares at its prey, and immediately launches a desperate attack once it finds any flaws.

The whole body is tense as one, including qi, blood and perception, condensed into a cohesive whole.

The young man pulled the gong in his hand, and with a trembling sound, his heart suddenly became a sudden!

The body is as tense as a bow, turning itself into a bow, and the attack is sent out by the sharp arrow, moving with the movement of the object, no matter what, the opponent will not escape his hunt!

His body began to tremble, and the qi machine urged the qi and blood to instantly travel all over the body, and the force seemed to be everywhere, and a little under his feet, with a sudden swish, jumped onto a thin branch, up and down with the wind, as light as nothing.

At this moment, the viper had finally eaten and drunk, swam back from the deer dog's body, burrowed back into the burrow in the dead grass, and began to sleep. After ten days of this, the snake did not move.

There was a look of surprise on the young man's face.

He has not relaxed for a moment in the past few days, and the snake spirit has gradually become better and better, consciousness, body, qi and blood, the trinity, and even the perception of the micro-realm has expanded beyond the six zhang!

Suddenly, he saw something rise up in the dead grass, and its body was a round larger than before, and its length had grown to two feet away. At this moment, a colorful bulge grew on the head of the thing, like a tumor, shining brightly.

That thing is advanced!

The young man's heart was shocked, and he immediately sank into the realm of knowledge.

Rao was so quick to react that he still alarmed the newly advanced viper.

The serpent spat out and probed around for a few moments before slowly retracting into its nest.

The boy decided to leave. He stepped out with snake footwork, like a swimming dragon, running up and down on the trunks of trees, and in a blink of an eye, he came out of this territory belonging to poisonous snakes, and only then did he relax a little.

His six senses were released, and the micro-realm of knowledge quickly expanded to six zhang away, and at this moment he was bold and bold, and began to search for prey step by step.

He easily spotted several warthogs.

The young snake's footwork unfolded rapidly, and it galloped out like the wind, and the missing sword instantly pierced through the neck of the largest warthog, killing it easily.

Then his body swung with the wind, calmly avoiding the attack of the other two small warthogs, sneered at two swords, and killed three wild boars in just a few breaths.

The boy didn't believe his eyes, it turned out that warthogs were so easy to kill?

You must know that the mountain warthog is completely a second-order demon beast, and he worked hard to kill the wolf king. In fact, it is nothing more than proof that his cultivation and vision have improved.

What he didn't know was that the poisonous snake had now completely advanced to a fourth-order demon beast. Isn't the body of a fourth-order demon beast extraordinary?

It was a fluke that he was fortunate enough to learn the essence of the body method from that fourth-order demon beast.

The boy began to absorb the qi and blood of the mountain warthog, and after exhaling it, he refined it into the qi machine.

He stayed here for a day and a night, and only after completely absorbing and refining the qi and blood of the three large and small warthogs did he get up and leave.

The boy walked into a gloomy valley, and the scene in front of him made him overjoyed.

I saw hundreds of warthogs of all sizes in the valley ahead. They are free to eat herbs and mushrooms, or thirst for stream water.

You must know that hundreds of warthogs, that is a large amount of qi and blood of hundreds of heads, if you can absorb and refine them, perhaps, your own Yingzi recipe may be practiced.

As soon as he entered the valley, he was spotted by the warthogs.

The warthogs roared and chased after them frantically, and the young snake's footwork flickered, and he roamed freely among the slightly stupid warthogs, and with the swing of his sword, he killed several warthogs in an instant.

He then jumped onto the side of the hill and sat cross-legged, ignoring the warthogs roaring wildly below.

The warthogs were noisy for a long time, and suddenly they were bored and gradually dispersed.

When the boy saw that the warthog had gone away, he went down to absorb the qi and blood in the warthog's carcass, and after sucking his feet, he returned to the mountain wall to sit and refine.

In this way, as the days passed, he absorbed enough of the qi and blood of the second-order demon beasts, and the qi in his body became stronger and stronger.

On this day, an extremely large warthog suddenly appeared in front of the young man's eyes, its body was particularly densely patterned, a pair of Sensen fangs were nearly two feet long, and a pair of fierce eyes with blood looming.

At the roar of the great warthog, the warthogs retreated far away, leaving a wide field in the middle.

The big warthog raised his head and roared at the boy.

The third-order warthog king! The boy has been dealing with the warthogs for more than ten days, how can he not recognize him?

It's challenging itself!

The boy jumped down, and with a whizz of his sword, his body, consciousness, and qi and blood were integrated, waiting for the attack of the Hog King.

The warthog king roared in the sky, kicked the ground with his hind hooves, and drew a deep ditch, and at this moment, he rushed over in a rage!

The snake spear footwork swooped up, almost dodging the impact of the warthog king, and then the qi and blood around the body were collided by the might, tumbling sharply.

It's so tough!

The young man's heart froze, and he didn't leave a back hand at this moment, and the snake shook out a string of phantoms with his footwork, and kept wandering around the warthog king.

There was a missing sword in his hand and he launched several attacks one after another, but because the skin of the Hog King was too hard, it only scratched a little fur, and it did not do much damage to the Hog King.

After a long time, the qi and blood in the body gradually dried up, and the footwork gradually became a little scattered, and the Warthog King's attack was still more fierce than before.

Faced with a new round of powerful attacks from the Warthog King, the boy sighed and jumped back onto the mountain wall.

The warthog king roared several more times before leaving.

It's provoking!

The boy looked coldly at the back of the Warthog King, and he knew that it was only a matter of time before he could defeat it.

When the qi machine of the whole body is everywhere, all over the internal organs and fur, the intention is given, the qi goes, and then the beginning is successful, this is the first step of internal training. The so-called external training of muscles and bones, internal training of qi and blood, in the outer muscles and bones such as rigid, in the formation of a whirlpool of qi sea, can be regarded as the basic completion of body refining!

His mother's words echoed in his ears, and the boy's heart secretly made up his mind.

The snake footwork has been cultivated to a new level, and the first step of the trinity of consciousness, body, and qi and blood has been completed.

So, while cultivating, the boy started a new round of cultivation. Hunting, devouring, refining the essence of qi and blood, the cycle repeats.

During this time, he challenged the Warthog King several times in succession.

He began to hit the side of the Hog King with his body, and at first, he was so hit that he almost vomited blood.

He slowly figured out some power techniques, so that the impact of the Bog King's body rebounding became lighter and lighter, and finally, he could no longer inflict unnecessary damage on himself.

With each collision, his body became stronger and stronger.

As the qi and blood around his body became more and more abundant, and his muscles and bones became stronger, he gradually began to attack the king warthog head-on.

In the latest challenge, the boy brazenly grabbed a pair of thick fangs of the Warthog King, and actually resisted the opponent's huge body!

Every challenge provokes some reflection, and then deduces and refines.

Eventually, his snake footwork grew faster and more perfect. The qi in that dantian was almost the thickness of a chopstick. He felt that his strength had reached an unprecedented peak, and when he compared it, it was twice as strong as his cultivation after defeating the Steppenwolf King.

On the contrary, the number of warthogs in the valley is decreasing.

On this day, he jumped off the mountain wall and decided to challenge the Warthog King one last time.

The Hog King saw him from afar, and there was a look of confusion in his eyes. Suddenly, it fell to its knees, its head slumping heavily on the ground. At the same time, the warthogs and warthogs around them also knelt down one after another.

These monsters are also spiritual!

The boy sighed and decided to let them go. He pulled away and walked slowly out of the valley.

He decided to look for the next kind of demon beast suitable for cultivation.

He thought of the deer dog that was fighting with the poisonous snake, it was a third-order demon beast, which was just right for his current cultivation level.

The boy searched for many days, and finally found a deer dog habitat in a quiet mountain valley.

He initially carried out sporadic assassinations. Or lure some out-of-group people to remote places as sparring objects, and wait until the opponent completely loses their use value, then kill them, and then devour qi and blood, and refine the qi.

In this way, after half a year, almost half of the third-order deer dogs in the valley were hunted by him.

He felt that his snake footwork was close to the level of the venomous snake at the beginning.

The qi in his body was also filled to the limit, and at this moment, even if he devoured the qi and blood of the deer dog, he would no longer improve in the slightest.

At this moment, a missing sword swung out, and it actually drove a piercing edge, and where the edge passed, the wood and stone were all cracked.

This is a sign of the completion of the cultivation of Yingzi Jue.

Has the cultivation of Yingzi Jue been completed? The young man hesitated in his heart, pondering, it seemed that there was still one less opportunity!

He pondered for a moment and resolutely made a bold choice.

Although his life is at stake, if he can't overcome that shadow, his future cultivation will be greatly hindered.

He soon returned to the forest where he had been, to the territory of the viper.

He walked to the middle of the forest, and the blade of his sword burst through the air, making a sharp whistling sound!

The poisonous snake sprang up, and by this time, its size had grown to a height of nearly three feet!

The viper's body rose high, and Nobuko hissed and spit out, looking down indifferently at the stranger who dared to challenge, as if he didn't care about it!

Consciousness, body, qi and blood, and the sword were all one at the moment, and the body was tense like a bow, trembling with blurred shadows.

There was a look of confusion in the snake's eyes, because the vibrating rhythm was all too familiar to it!

That's its natural instinct!

And how could that stranger?

The viper's eyes showed a look of shame, and his body suddenly shook like a vine, and in an instant, it struck like a black lightning!

The boy's body shook and swept through the rolled up dead leaves.

Two shadows rippled in the air like a whirlwind, crushing tiny branches from time to time, and endless fallen leaves flew in the forest.

It was a chase on the line between life and death!

The young man gritted his teeth and insisted, his body swinging a series of arcs in the air, and the slender body followed closely behind him, not leaving a single step. If there is a loose line, in an instant, the pair of fangs will bite on their necks!

At the moment when the qi engine was running to the peak of the limit, a wonderful sound suddenly came from the young man's dantian, and then, a cool feeling instantly swam all over his body! At this moment, the young man's strength was greatly improved, and the meridians in his body were also broadened, and the qi and blood were surging like a tide!

At this moment, his body trembled like a bowstring, and with a whoosh, a series of blurred phantoms swung out, and suddenly, the long black shadow chasing behind him was thrown out of a long distance!

The serpent stopped pursuing, feeling that the defiant prey seemed to be out of its grasp.

A look of confusion appeared in its eyes.

The young man's body swung back, one person and one snake, standing at a short distance and watching each other quietly.

This scene is truly incredible!

After a long time, the young man gave a deep salute and said, "Thank you, Brother Snake!"

He walked gently, step by step, without the slightest defense.

Strangely, this time, the viper did not pursue and slowly retreated back into its nest.

There was little time, and the boy walked back to the creek where he had been.

Two traps had already been struck, but unfortunately they were all small beasts. Another trap was destroyed by an unknown beast.

His perception of the subtle realm at this moment had expanded to a range of nearly ten zhang.

The twilight is gorgeous, the stream is rushing, and the scenery in front of you is picturesque and indescribably beautiful.

At this moment, the earth suddenly trembled violently, and in the distance, the mountains were boiling, bursting air and dust rushed into the sky, and flocks of unknown birds rose in surprise and flew into the twilight.

At this moment, I saw a shocking wave of qi rushing like an angry tide.

The boy fled back to the cave in the shortest amount of time. At this moment, the outside of the cave is boiling like a tide, and the chaotic sound is deafening!
