Chapter 6: Basalt Scale Armor
The next day, after completing the daily task of ten woods, Chen Man and He Dali returned to the cabin to drink water, He Dali said that he wanted to go out to practice, Chen Man knew that this guy was going to be unable to get along with those beasts in the mountains again.
Since Li Qing broke through the Gathering Spirit Period yesterday, he went to the law enforcement disciples to register for promotion, and he has not come back until now, presumably he has lived in the North Courtyard where the outer disciples gather.
After resting for a moment to calm his breathing, Chen Man got up and walked to a corner of the cabin, where there was a wooden basin with a turtle that he had promised to send to the Great Lake.
The little guy seemed to feel that someone was approaching, and Chen Man retracted into his shell in fright before he arrived, and after being held in his hand by Chen Man, he cowered and poked out his head.
"Today, I want to try He Manzi's cultivation method, I just want to go to the bottom of the mountain, so I'll give you a ride by the way. Chen Man said to the turtle, regardless of whether the other party could understand his words or not.
Now walking on the mountain path outside the Refining Sect, Chen Man is already familiar with the road, walking along the bluestone trail, and soon the big lake appeared in Chen Man's sight.
This lake is many times larger than ordinary lakes, and the places where the refining sect usually has water are also taken from here, and it can be said that it is inexhaustible for many years.
When Chen Man trotted all the way to the lake with the turtle in his hand, he found that there was a stone tablet erected by the lake, which was engraved with the three big characters of Baichuan Lake, which meant that the sea was inclusive.
"Heh, it's obviously a bigger lake, no matter how big it is, it's still a lake, who gave it such a name. Chen Man laughed to himself as he released the little turtle into the lake.
After the turtle was released by Chen Man, it plunged into the water, and then surfaced on the surface and swam around with its limbs, as if to express its gratitude to Chen Man.
The next moment, there was a small snake swimming towards this side under the water, the little snake swam to the side of the turtle, and quickly pounced on it and wrapped around the turtle, to Chen Man's surprise, the little turtle did not resist, and the little snake was only wrapped around its body, and the two got along well.
The snake wrapped around the turtle, this scene was presented in front of Chen Man's eyes, and then the body of the turtle and the snake seemed to become larger.
Chen Man was a little skeptical that he was dazzled, and after rubbing his eyes, he confirmed again that the size of the turtle at this time was no longer something that he could hold with one hand.
At that moment, Chen Man was a little stunned, the snake wrapped around the turtle no longer became bigger, although it was already not small, but it was barely normal in the turtle.
When the turtle stopped changing, there was a continuous roar of wild beasts and birds flying out of the forest on the entire Yayun Mountain, and it seemed that the beasts of the entire mountain range were responding to something.
This abnormality is not over, the turtle even spoke to Chen Man, "The doll bones are not superior, but the heart is not bad, for the sake of helping the old man, I will give you a meeting gift." ”
Chen Man was now in a sluggish state, and as soon as the turtle's words fell, the giant snake wrapped around its body opened its mouth and bit off a piece of scale armor from the turtle's back, and the snake leaned forward to hand the scale armor in its mouth to Chen Man.
Seeing the hideous-looking snake head stretching out towards him, Chen Man subconsciously took a step back, and after calming down, he carefully took the scale armor.
That scale armor only came into contact with Chen Man's fingers, but it didn't enter Chen Man's palm, and the next moment, a cyan scale armor was born on the back of Chen Man's right hand, and the real flesh and blood were connected.
Chen Man looked down at the back of his hand in surprise, and when he looked up again, the snake and turtle had already swam silently to the middle of the lake, and was about to sink to the bottom.
Seeing that there were only two heads left on the water, Chen Man hurriedly shouted to Huxin, "Who are you, how did you appear in the South Courtyard?"
"The old man's name is Xuanwu!"
At this time, the snake and turtle had completely submerged into the lake, and only an echo echoed in Chen Man's ears.
Chen Man realized a problem at this time, he didn't know what the use of the scale armor growing on the back of his hand was, and he regretted not asking the Xuanwu at the same time, he also planned to go to the mountains to find some beasts and learn from He Manzi's methods to hone himself.
"Chen Man!
Just as Chen Man turned around and was about to leave Baichuan Lake, a familiar voice suddenly came from a distance, and then He Dali shouted in the distance: "Run!"
Chen Man was slightly stunned, turned his head to look at it randomly, and gasped the next moment.
That voice was He Dali's voice, but there was a one-man tall black tiger hanging behind the barbarian, and He Dali had an obvious claw mark on his chest, as well as dazzling bloodstains.
In fact, this kind of black tiger is cautious by nature, and generally does not chase prey alone, let alone even out of its own territory, and still chases He Dali so far.
In fact, it was He Dali who provoked the big worm first, He Dali would come to the beasts in the mountains every day to learn and cultivate, Chen Man knew this.
Today was no exception, the female black tiger was protecting five cubs who were still young, but unexpectedly, a brute suddenly burst out of the haystack while he was not paying attention, and kicked one tiger cub away.
He Dali then turned around and ran, just at this time, the turtle in Baichuan Lake turned into Xuanwu, and the beasts on the entire mountain were affected to a certain extent, so the black tiger would chase it so far for the first time.
He Manzi's depressed clothes and claw marks all over his body proved that he had suffered a lot in the hands of this black tiger, but at this moment, he actually shouted to Chen Man: "You run, I'll drag it again!"
I didn't expect this guy to be so righteous, but he was obviously exhausted by the black tiger's training.
As soon as He Dali's words fell, he tried to turn around and block the black tiger for a moment, but it was such a momentary delay that caused the black tiger to pounce and push him to the ground.
"Roar!"
The black tiger's two front paws pressed He Dali's shoulders, raised his head and roared at Chen Man in the distance, as if he was demonstrating, the sharp claws that were as sharp as iron had already sunk into He Dali's shoulders with more than three inches of flesh and blood.
Immediately, the black tiger wanted to bite He Dali's big head, He Dali endured the sharp pain from his shoulder, and still raised his arms to separate the tiger's mouth, but he was obviously at the end of the crossbow.
Chen Man saw this scene from afar, frowned, and then rushed towards the black tiger with an arrow step, and when he was close to the black tiger and He Dali lying on the ground, Chen Man's divine movement suddenly paused, but in an instant, he pounced on the black tiger.
It seems to be a flutter, but in fact, his toes have never left the ground, which is convenient for relay and unloading, and he also recognizes this action as a tiger-style tiger pounce in the twelve shapes of Xingyi Boxing.
Chen Man's figure was really like a fierce tiger, and the black tiger was also stunned for a moment, and then pulled out the sharp claws embedded in He Dali's shoulders to meet Chen Man's momentum.
He Dali, who was pulled out of his claws by the black tiger, suddenly opened the skin on both shoulders, and the blood flowed out like a spring.
The black tiger and Chen Man's forepaws were opposite, and both of them yelled at each other, but in terms of deterrence, Chen Man was naturally no match for a real tiger.
Seeing this, He Dali didn't care about decency or indecency, and took this opportunity to roll out from under the black tiger with a donkey, and then shouted to Chen Man regardless of his injuries: "This black tiger is amazing, I'll help you!"
But just as he was about to get up, the wounds all over his body suddenly cracked, and his tattered clothes were completely soaked with blood.
Chen Man saw He Dali's situation out of the corner of his eye, and when he lifted his breath, he pushed the black tiger back a few points, and then he said with some difficulty, "Just watch from the side, don't be nosy." ”
As he spoke, cold sweat was already oozing from Chen Man's forehead, as for the amazing strength of this black tiger, he already knew it without He vigorously speaking.
He Dali was blocked back by Chen Man's words, and sat on the ground to rest as expected.
It's just that if Chen Man is exhausted, he will still do his best to help, in He Dali's opinion, after all, it was he who attracted the black tiger to Chen Man's place, and Chen Man's ability to make a move was completely to save him, so he had no reason to watch Chen Man's accident.
At that moment, I saw Chen Man take one foot, and then his whole body leaned towards the black tiger, and the two palms opposite the front paws of the black tiger were also quickly raised, which was another move in the tiger style, called tiger lifting.
For a moment, the upper body of the one-person-tall black tiger was actually lifted high by Chen Man, and the black tiger looked down at Xiao Bu Chen Man, and roared angrily.
Chen Man, who was in a low position, only felt that his ears were numb, as if even his eardrums were about to be cracked by this roar, but his raised hands never let go of half a minute.
Chen Man was almost at the end of his rope at this moment, and a memory suddenly appeared in his mind, wasn't it the same situation when the old drunkard rescued himself from the tiger's mouth that year?
The next moment, Chen Man's body movements were almost the same as the old drunkard in his memory, all of them did not move and turned his upper body, and threw the black tiger out to his side.
Hearing a muffled bang, the huge black tiger was thrown to the ground by Chen Man, but it also coldly scratched Chen Man's right hand when Chen Man's arms exerted force.
Seeing that this beast could still get up, Chen Man subconsciously took a step back, and He Dali also staggered up from the ground holding the injury on his chest.
The black tiger bared its teeth and roared close to Chen Man, although the pace was extremely slow, but every step seemed to be stepping on Chen Man's heart, Chen Man couldn't help but think to himself, is he really going to die in the belly of the tiger today?
At this moment, the scale armor that grew on the back of Chen Man's right hand suddenly emitted a burst of green light, the light was extremely faint and a little soft, but the scratch on Chen Man's arm that had only been left for a short time was completely healed at an astonishing speed visible to the naked eye at the moment the light was lit up.
At the same time, the black tiger that was approaching also paused, stared at Chen Man's glowing right hand for a moment, and then turned around and left.
All this was so incredible in He Dali's eyes, even the person concerned, Chen Man, didn't understand what was going on, but vaguely felt that the scale armor on the back of his hand seemed to be absorbing the aura around him.
"What the hell is this?" Chen Man muttered to himself as he looked at the scale armor, and at this moment, the strange light emanating from the back of his hand had gradually converged and finally dissipated.
