Chapter Seventy-Three: Progress

Sometimes Bai Kehuai always suspects that he is the protagonist of an abusive novel, and he is always abused all day long, for example, now he is being targeted by several ice-toothed tigers.

The ice-toothed tiger is a large carnivorous beast unique to the 10,000-year-old snow mountain area, they look like a tiger, but they have two long canine teeth, much like the prehistoric giant saber-toothed tiger in Bai Ke's hometown, but the size is much smaller. Their bodies are covered in white and light-striped fur, with a layer of light blue ice crystals attached to their claws, tail tips, and top hairs.

In a demonic world like Arad, the Icetooth Tiger is actually not very strong. Even so, they are predators and usually hunt alone. But Bai Ke was particularly unlucky to encounter four at once, and of course it is also possible that these four ice-toothed tigers were particularly unlucky to meet Bai Ke.

The four ice-toothed tigers were clearly hungry, and Bai Ke suspected that if it weren't for his appearance, they might have to fight among themselves, and the survivors would have to eat the flesh and blood of their companions to get a chance to survive. Of course, now that Bai Ke has appeared, there is no need for them to fight among themselves, but they have launched an attack on Bai Ke with the same hatred.

Bai Ke didn't get up, still sliding on the ground. The Icetooth Tiger's attack is very old-fashioned, similar to that of the Tiger. One of the ice-toothed tigers came up and pounced, trying to press Bai Ke to restrain him. But Bai Ke is now a fairly high-yin martial artist after all, he stretched out his leg and kicked, and directly kicked the ice-toothed tiger's abdomen, kicked it and roared "Woo", and then flew out upside down. This kick was really not light, and blood immediately overflowed from the mouth and nose of the ice-toothed tiger, and the blood quickly froze in the cold wind.

When the remaining ice-toothed tigers saw that Bai Ke had defeated one of their companions so easily, they were all terrified, and they just circled around Bai Ke, not daring to attack again.

Bai Ke felt bored, and his back muscles slammed into force, and the whole person suddenly bounced up from the snow. He stood up and walked straight towards the nearest ice-toothed tiger. The ice-toothed tiger was startled and retreated again and again, as if it had lost its fighting spirit.

Seeing its cowardice, Bai Ke shook his head, ignored the remaining three ice-toothed tigers, and walked directly towards the ice-toothed tiger that he had injured. After all, even if he killed the remaining three ice-toothed tigers, he wouldn't be able to take them away for a while, let alone eat them all. It is enough to have an ice-toothed tiger to make food, at least enough for him to eat for two or three days.

However, seeing that Bai Ke was about to attack his injured companion, the remaining three ice-toothed tigers finally became anxious and rushed towards Bai Ke like crazy. It turned out that they were paying the same attention as Bai Ke, they didn't want to provoke Bai Ke, and planned to wait for him to leave, and live by devouring the flesh and blood of their injured companions. Who knew that Bai Ke was going to move their grain reserves now, and they would not be happy now.

Hearing the "rustle" sound of the tiger's claws slapping the snow behind him, Bai Ke frowned, turned around and looked at the three ice-toothed tigers. The eyes of the ice-toothed tiger and Bai Ke looked at each other, and they braked sharply, not daring to move forward, and their mouths also made a "woo woo" sound, as if they were afraid of fear.

After all, Bai Ke has been practicing in the 10,000-year-old Snow Mountain for a long time, fighting with the sky here, fighting with the earth, fighting with hunger and cold, and his spirit has already undergone great changes. Now there was a fierce temperament in his expression, and this temperament was so strong that it was able to oppress the ice-toothed tigers and make them dare not attack. Bai Ke is in the "potential" way, which can be regarded as a prototype.

Seeing that the three ice-toothed tigers still refused to give up, Bai Ke frowned, he stretched out his feet and stepped on the ground, and a large ball of snowflakes was actually shaken up and fell into his hands. He crumpled the snowflake into three snowballs, then threw one at each of the three ice-toothed tigers.

"Poof, poof, poof!" The foreheads of the three ice-toothed tigers were hit by snowballs one after another, and their heads immediately broke and blood flowed, and their mouths continued to scream. At this time, they finally didn't dare to continue to provoke Bai Ke, and fled with their tails between their legs. It turned out that the snowball had been vigorously kneaded by Bai Ke, and it was already as hard as ice, and then it was hit by Bai Ke with a heavy hand, and it was as powerful as a stone.

Bai Ke ignored them anymore and walked straight up to the badly injured ice-toothed tiger, kicking it off with a kick that broke its neck. Then, as soon as he grabbed it, he lifted it up with the back of the neck of the ice-toothed tiger's corpse and walked in the direction of his igloo. He was now more than ten miles away from the igloo, there was no way, the animals and plants around the ice field where he lived had been eaten by him, and now if he wanted to hunt, he could only go farther away.

This ice-toothed tiger is relatively large, and Bai Ke also disembowels it, strips its fur, and then begins to eat meat. He threw the leftover meat into the snow outside, and it would soon freeze very firm and could be preserved for a long time.

Bai Ke looked at the whole piece of ice-toothed tiger fur he had peeled off thoughtfully. The clothes on his body have already broken into rags after wearing them for so long, plus the wear and tear during training! Because he didn't have any good craftsmanship, and he was not afraid of the cold by relying on the warmth of life, he never made new clothes for himself. He was now almost naked in the snowy mountains, and there was no one left.

Bai Ke pulled out the skins of various animals in the snow cave, and his fingernails turned into the sharpest scissors, cutting at these hides. Then he poked a few holes in the whole piece of ice-toothed tiger fur, and strung it together with cut strips of skin, and finally made himself a wild fur coat. The back of this fur coat is made from a single piece of ice-toothed tiger skin, and the chest and abdomen are strung together with the fur of various other animals.

Bai Ke put it on and tried it on, well, it was as ugly as ever, and the quality was very bad. Bai Ke only used a slight force, and the animal leather strip on the fur coat directly collapsed. Bai Ke reluctantly took the loose leather coat and made a new round of tinkering, the craftsmanship was not good, he had to make the leather strip bigger and stronger, and at the same time tie it more loosely, so as not to collapse the leather coat again.

Bai Ke no longer regards life in the snowy mountains as asceticism, but gradually adapts to and enjoys the experience. He was like the lord of this ice field, and now few beasts dared to approach this area. He continued to cultivate every day, and his body became thinner and thinner, but his spiritual will became stronger and stronger.

This is a metamorphosis, Bai Ke began his truly independent life in the 10,000-year-old Snow Mountain. He is no longer a cowardly otaku, leaving behind all thoughts of relying on others, facing the most difficult living environment in the world by himself, and becoming a strong man who controls his own life. He finally made a breakthrough in the "heart" will.

The growth of the spiritual realm made him more and more comfortable in controlling the warm current of life in his body. Although he still needs some movements, such as violent tremors, he can already interfere with the flow path of the warm current through mental guidance.

In his spare time, Bai Ke is always guessing what this warm current is? He had thought it was a life force, or a variant of life force, but it was obviously not comprehensive. In fact, humans in his homeland will also shiver in cold conditions to cause muscles to contract and heat up and warm their bodies. But that's just heat, it's the release of chemical energy in the human body, and it's no different from the amount of body heat that keeps a constant human temperature. But this warm current in Bai Ke's body was different, Bai Ke could clearly sense its generation and flow, and even manipulate this warm current, which he suspected was also related to magic. Just as he stimulates the dark energy through the will of the martial arts, he also wants to interfere with this warm current through spiritual thoughts, or spiritual powers. In fact, he has achieved certain results, and he can already guide the flow of this warm current.

Bai Ke thought to himself: "So this warm current of vitality should belong to the category of 'qi' (energy manipulation), right?" What is this? Is it because I have acquired the second type of 'qi' (the first is the strength or energy)? Or is this the dragon talent that he has awakened? Bai Ke remembered that Dinah had told him before that when his dragon veins awakened to a certain level, he could obtain dragon talents.

"Is this warm current my talent? Hopefully not! If it is, it's too weak, and it doesn't seem to have any other purpose than to keep me warm! Bai Ke thought a little greedily.

In fact, Bai Ke was mistaken, the real effect of the vitality warm current is to activate his body cells, so that they are in an active state, which can resist the adverse effects of the external environment, and the so-called heating is just an incidental side effect.

The real effect of this warm current has not yet been realized by Bai Ke, let alone developed!
