Chapter 14: The Battle for the Cave (I)

Three months later.

A zombie stood on the top of an open mountain, looking up at the moon, its mouth opened, and countless moon essences were dotted with stars, pounced into the big mouth, turning into a trace of cool air.

Zhang Yang followed the exercises of "Taiyin Refining Form and Body Refining", guiding these cool qi to operate in the body, and finally merged into the abdominal cavity.

In the abdominal cavity, a huge cyclone rotated at high speed, occupying almost the entire sea of qi.

"Whew! Okay! The cool air turned into the essence of the moon, and the heat flow turned into the blood of the beast essence can be converted into mana, and the cultivation speed of this "Taiyin Refining Form" is really good. ”

Zhang Yang sighed with emotion, and he was in a very good mood.

For more than three months, Zhang Yang has been wandering in the mountains and forests. During the day, find a place with yin qi and shade to hide and sleep or practice talisman making, at night go out hunting and suck the essence and blood of wild beasts, and at night when the moonlight is abundant, you must seize the time to absorb the essence of the moon and refine your body.

Since absorbing the essence blood of two Taoist priests, he had reached the peak of the second pole, and finally broke through a month ago, and advanced to a third-level wandering corpse.

The sign of a third-level wandering corpse is that the cyclone in the abdominal cavity merges into one and becomes an atmospheric cyclone, filling the entire abdominal cavity.

Zhang Yang's next cultivation goal was to cultivate this atmospheric selection to a full state, and then impact the sea of qi in his chest.

Once the passage between the abdominal qi sea and the chest qi sea is opened, a small cyclone will form in the chest qi sea, which will mean that Zhang Yang has advanced to the fourth level of the wandering corpse.

Of course, now Zhang Yang feels that he is still some distance away from the peak of the third level.

"The path of cultivating the truth, the higher you go, the more difficult it becomes! At the beginning, I only cultivated for three days, and after sucking the essence blood of a giant python, I advanced from jumping corpses to wandering corpses; now I have to suck the essence blood of several beasts every night, but my realm improvement is extremely slow. This is just the third level of the wandering corpse, and it is so difficult. I really don't know when I will be able to advance to the ninth level of the wandering corpse, and I don't know if I can break through the shackles and advance to the purple zombie. ”

If Zhang Feng's feelings were heard by human monks, I don't know how many people would commit suicide in shame.

The wandering corpse stage is equivalent to the qi refining period of human cultivators.

Generally, mortals must have a spiritual root to sense the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and after a period of cultivation, they can enter the qi refining period.

Someone in the cultivation realm has made statistics that when there is sufficient resources, the average time it takes for a person with a medium spiritual root to advance to the Qi Refining Period is three months, while the average time to advance from the first level of the Qi Refining Period to the second level of the Qi Refining Period is six months, and the average time to advance from the second level of the Qi Refining Period to the third level is about one year.

After that, the time for each promotion level is three, five, eight, twenty, thirty, and thirty-five years.

That is to say, from the beginning of cultivation, it will take a total of a hundred years on average to advance to the ninth level of the Qi refining period, and then it will take a lot of time to reach the peak of the ninth level and have the conditions to impact the foundation building period.

After the human cultivators entered the Qi refining period, they absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and their lifespan increased, and they were only about two hundred years old.

The vast majority of people spend most of their life span on the promotion of the Qi Refining Period, which means that they are destined to have no chance of impacting the Foundation Building Period.

Therefore, there are less than one in a hundred cultivators who can truly build a foundation and succeed.

As for zombies, because of the limitations of resources and exercises, their cultivation speed is more than twice as slow as that of human cultivators.

It only took Zhang Yang less than four months to advance from a small jumping corpse to a third level of wandering corpse. That's six or seven times faster than even a human monk. Even if ordinary zombies have enough essence blood and yin qi, it will take more than five years to advance to this point.

In comparison, Zhang Yang's cultivation speed can be said to be quite perverted.

The sooner you advance, the more time you will have to hit the Purple Zombie (equivalent to the foundation building period of the human race) in the future. It can be said that Zhang Yang has now won at the starting line.

Taking advantage of the best moonlight to practice for an hour, feeling that his body had entered the best state, Zhang Yang jumped away with a "bang".

His goal was a U-shaped valley ahead.

The valley has a mediocre yin atmosphere, but at the lower end of the valley's "U" shape, there is a cave several feet high. The yin qi in this cave is extremely thick, and it is not much worse than the land of nine yin.

At least Zhang Yang has been wandering in the mountains and forests for more than three months, and the distance he has traveled is not only thousands of miles, but at least thousands of miles away. And this cave is the place with the heaviest yin qi on the way.

Zhang Yang didn't want to wander anymore. He needs to have a nest and stop and cultivate well.

Not to mention the yin qi of this cave, it is hidden, and there are many wild beasts around, which is suitable for Zhang Yang to go out at night to hunt for essence and blood.

The only regret is that there is a sixth-level wandering corpse in the cave, and he actually regards this cave as his own forbidden body, as long as Zhang Yang approaches, he will immediately attack.

Zhang Yang himself is only a third-level wandering corpse, with a difference of three levels, and he was beaten to cry his father and mother without even having room to fight back. Even with the help of runes such as lightning guides, they are not opponents of the other side.

If it weren't for the Divine Talisman, I'm afraid Zhang Yang himself would have been torn apart by that zombie a long time ago.

However, Zhang Yang did not intend to give up, but started a stalker.

Every night, Zhang Yang would adjust his state to the best, and then come over to fight this zombie. Anyway, there is a magic talisman, if you can't beat it, you can run away at any time.

"Hey, I'll use the lightning charm to slash you a few times today, burn you tomorrow with the fire talisman, and disgust you with the corpse charm the day after tomorrow...... I don't believe it, I can't kill you!" Zhang Yang had a plan for a protracted war in his heart, and jumped forward proudly.

Knock! Knock!

I jump!

I jump!

I'm jumping!

Zhang Yang didn't seem to be in a hurry, but in fact, his divine sense was released, and every grass and tree within a hundred meters around him was under control.

In the past three months, Zhang Yang has never given up the tempering of his divine sense, and the scope of his divine consciousness has become wider and wider. In addition, when advancing to the third-level wandering corpse, there was a breakthrough in the surname, and the distance of the divine sense scanning finally exceeded a radius of 100 meters.

This is already a very wide distance. Especially in the dark forest, surrounded by trees, when the beasts sneak attack their prey, they have to lurk within more than ten meters before launching a surprise attack.

Since Zhang Yang's divine consciousness breakthrough, he has never been ambushed when he travels at night.

On several occasions, Zhang Yang relied on his divine sense to find powerful enemies in advance, and then dodged them, so that he could escape with his life.

It was these experiences that made Zhang Yang's attention to his divine consciousness raise to a higher level, and he would rather delay the time of cultivating mana and refining his body, but also temper his divine sense.

"Huh?" Zhang Yang stopped suddenly.

Ahead, a strange bull with red scale armor approached him.

"It's this kind of strange cow again!" Zhang Yang secretly said unlucky.

This monster cow is a second-level demon beast firescale armored cow, which belongs to the herbivorous surname demon beast. However, he has an unusually short temper and will attack his target at the slightest provocation.

Zhang Yang was very curious, how did a hot-tempered guy like this survive in this dangerous mountain without becoming extinct? It is said that he should have been eaten by high-level demon beasts a long time ago!

However, Zhang Yang has no interest in provoking this guy now. He clearly remembered that just a month ago, he had encountered a fire-scaled bull, which had just broken through to the third level, and he went up to challenge it with confidence, but was almost crippled.

In the end, he wasted a three-grade divine talisman and escaped for 200 miles in a row before he completely escaped the pursuit of the stubborn cow.

Now, Zhang Yang was busy cleaning up the sixth-level wandering corpse, so he naturally didn't want to cause more trouble.

"Hey, there's no way! waste another invisibility charm!" Zhang Yang sighed.

At this distance, hiding in the bushes will definitely make a sound, and turning and running away will surely chase the stubborn bull...... The helplessness in Zhang Yang's heart!

A pat on a bag that straddled his body.

Shout!

A talisman flew up.

"Hide my deeds, don't let others see it, Taishang Laojun, anxious as a law!"

Zhang Yang's fingers were pinched into a legal decision, and he thought silently in his heart.

Burst!

The talisman immediately turned into ashes, and Zhang Yang's figure slowly disappeared.

The fire-scaled armored ox, which had already walked fifty or sixty meters away, seemed to notice something, looked up, found nothing unusual, and continued to walk forward with his head down.

A few meters next to Zhang Yang, he turned into a jungle and disappeared.

"Hmph! When Lao Tzu occupies the cave mansion and advances to the fourth level, he will definitely come back to settle accounts with you. Suck your blood and pluck your hair...... The Firescale Ox is a demon beast with the surname of Fire, and using your blood to draw a fire talisman is the best. ”

Zhang Yang looked at the back of the firescale armored cow and secretly made up his mind to take revenge.

A moment later.

Knock! Knock!

The sound of regular heavy objects falling to the ground sounded, and I saw that the dead branches and rotten leaves on the ground were stepped out of a pair of footprints, and they sank deeply, but there was no human figure, which looked very weird.

After about a stick of incense, a figure slowly flashed, and it was already miles away from the place where the invisibility talisman was used.
