Chapter Seventy-Four: Breakthrough
Chapter Seventy-Four: Breakthrough
Bai Ke has been in the Ten Thousand Years Snow Mountain for more than half a year, and he has completely become a wild man in the Snow Mountain. For Bai Ke now, surviving on the snowy mountains is no longer a problem, and he is now facing another kind of difficulty.
The cold wind whistled in the sky, and from time to time it sprinkled a crystal snowflake, or a burst of fine snow particles. It was unusually calm, and there was no sound except for the sound of the wind and the snow falling. Bai Ke was in this environment, and he felt as if he was the only one left in the whole heaven and earth, and there was nothing else. His heart was ethereal and lonely.
Bai Ke hadn't seen any humans in months. Loneliness began to slowly fill his heart, and loneliness gnawed at his heart, making him feel that his existence was meaningless, and even made him wonder if he really existed.
…… Dividing line ......
A person's world, a person walks, a person eats, a person is sad, a person is happy, a person talks to himself, a person hums and sings to himself, a person waits for the moon to set in the morning, a person quietly watches the clouds open, a person lives, it is really lonely, very lonely.
…… Dividing line ......
If you want to survive on the 10,000-year-old snow-capped mountain, you need to overcome many difficulties, although food, clothing, and shelter are all there, but there is another mental difficulty that is particularly difficult, and that is loneliness. Bai Ke is facing the invasion of loneliness at this moment. It's a pity that his cultivation hasn't been completed yet, and he doesn't know how long he will stay on this snowy mountain. He especially wanted to meet someone and communicate with him now, so that he could know that he was still a living person, a Wenyin person, and not just a wild man on the snowy mountains.
It's a pity that he can't, if he gives up cultivation and asceticism in order to get rid of loneliness, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to his self-confidence and self-esteem. This is tantamount to admitting that he has failed and that he cannot overcome the difficulties to achieve his goals.
So Bai Ke has endured loneliness and loneliness, and has never gone down the mountain. For him now, getting lost is no longer a problem, and he can crisscross hundreds of miles in this snowy mountain as long as he needs to. That will always find where humans are, won't they?
But he can't do this, he just wants to endure loneliness, enjoy loneliness, get rid of all dependency and shackles, and truly become a strong person with an independent personality.
In these lonely years, Bai Ke's only remission was to keep cultivating, as long as he practiced himself to a coma, he would not feel lonely and lonely. Therefore, he continued to practice all the martial arts moves he knew, and firmly mastered every subtle movement, so that he made great progress in the path of "art".
Now Bai Ke has messy hair, beard, and eyebrows. The frost that stuck to it almost obscured his entire head and face, making it impossible to see his face. His body was wrapped in a fishy hide, and he looked lean and strong. After several months of lack of food and clothing and high-intensity training, Bai Keyin looked thinner, his weight was lost by a quarter, and the whole person looked skinny. At this time, if anyone who knew Bai Ke saw him, he would definitely not be able to treat him and that tall, strong, handsome and handsome young man as one person, the change was too great.
The most impressive thing about him now is his eyes, his eyes shoot out from time to time, and anyone who looks at him can feel the firmness, solemnity, and fierceness in his eyes. That is his unique temperament that he struggled against this world and his will to fight through his spiritual realm, and finally formed.
It can be said that in the past half a year, Bai Ke has made extremely significant progress. It's a pity that the goal of penetrating the whole body and advancing the strength that is extremely important to him has never been achieved, and there always seems to be a layer of obstacle preventing him from completing the advancement. Bai Ke wondered if he was too heavy about gains and losses, and he kept thinking about breaking through the strength, but it led to impure intentions and caused psychological obstacles to himself.
Recently, Bai Ke's cultivation intensity has become more and more intense. As he gradually adapted to life in the snowy mountains, the less time he spent on other chores, the longer his cultivation time, and the greater the intensity of his cultivation. And he didn't just limit himself to practicing during a specially planned cultivation time, he also incorporated his cultivation into his daily life.
For example, when he sleeps, his body will vibrate on its own, and the heat generated will naturally dissipate, so that his body will always maintain the right body temperature, so he will not be frostbitten by low temperatures.
Another example is that he has fully adapted to the ambush when he usually walks. On the one hand, he did not have to stand up and suffer from the cold wind, and on the other hand, he lowered his height to prevent his tall figure from being prematurely detected by prey in the distance and escaping. In addition, the ice and stones that were frozen very hard constantly collided with his body, and in the process, he always used his crisis sense to detect the danger in advance, and then used his dark strength to fight against it. This greatly improved the sensitivity of his body, and it can be said that he pushed his training to an extremely high level. Originally, he just relied on his strong physique to passively resist damage, but now he can reduce his attacks by actively exerting his strength, and the two are superior to each other. At this point, he is no longer a reckless man who can only use brute force, but a real high-yin martial artist.
Bai Ke hadn't slept that night, he was searching for prey everywhere. I don't know if it's bad luck, Bai Ke didn't catch any prey all day, and he hadn't eaten any food for more than a day and a half before that. As a last resort, he had to go out hunting in the middle of the night.
The snow-capped mountains are not very dark in the middle of the night, and the snow always reflects all the light. Bai Ke kept rolling in the white snow, looking around for food. Just as he has incorporated cultivation into his life, he no longer needs to deliberately arrange his life according to a time plan. At this moment, he deliberately can practice everything by walking, sitting and lying down.
He scurried through the snowy mountains and valleys, constantly sensing the unusual tremors of the ground. This is another way he has developed to search for prey, after all, Bai Ke's appetite is really not small now, almost all the large animals around the ice field where he lives have been eaten by him, in order to make it easier to search for prey, he also has to develop a new method - the hunting method of weakness perception.
Suddenly, Bai Ke felt an abnormal tremor under the ice and snow. He was overjoyed, and his body slowly slid on the ground, close to where the ice trembled. The creature below also has vibration sensing, and once it senses too strong a vibration, it will immediately flee into the depths of the ice, so that Bai Ke will not be able to catch it.
Bai Ke slid slowly on the snow like this, getting closer and closer, and suddenly he stretched out a hand like lightning, which suddenly penetrated into the frozen ice and plunged into the ground. By the time he pulled his hand out, a semi-transparent Yin Ice Worm with a length of nearly one meter had been dragged out of the ground. This is a new addition to his recipe, which he didn't have a chance to catch if he didn't cultivate well before, but now it has become one of his favorite foods.
Truth be told, the ice bug has an ugly appearance and is also somewhat disgusting. It is like a large transvaginal maggot, its skin and flesh are semi-translucent, and through its body you can even see a thin digestive cavity in its body, and sometimes there are some prey that are not completely digested. It also has some white flagella on the surface of its skin, which it uses to sense tremors on the ground, determine the size of its prey, and whether it needs to attack or flee. Overall, the ice worm is quite sensitive to the ground.
Bai Ke also practiced his strength to the extent that it was endless, endless, and conductive, so that he could easily catch it. Although the Ice Worm's appearance is rather unbearable, it should actually be considered a magical beast. You know, with its size and the richness of body fluids in its body, it stands to reason that it should have frozen into a popsicle in the cold of the 10,000-year-old snow-capped mountains, but it didn't. While it's still alive, no matter how cold the weather is, it won't freeze its body.
Bai Ke shook his hand while holding the ice worm, and the ice worm was stunned by it. He was also not ambiguous, he directly pinched the mouthparts of the ice worm, and the mouthparts were pinched by him, and then they were pulled off, and then he sucked at the broken mouth of the ice worm, sucking all the body fluids, internal organs, and tissues of the ice worm into his mouth. Surprisingly, the temperature of the ice worm's body fluids is not particularly low, probably around zero degrees Celsius. In this cold environment, Bai Ke is as comfortable as drinking a hot drink.
The size of the ice insect is actually not small, with a diameter of nearly ten centimeters and a body length of nearly one meter, but it was completely sucked dry by Bai Ke in a few bites. He didn't lose the skin left over from the ice worm, but took it with him, and he could process it into a glove or sock when he returned. In the 10,000-year-old snow-capped mountains where resources are scarce, independent men must learn to save materials and use waste.
