Coupled with the female evolution zombie in the early morning, he now has a total of 28 crystal nuclei, and it stands to reason that he can be promoted to the second Taoist realm, but as a descendant of the Lingtu Sect, how could he not know the truth that if he wants to be fast, he will not reach it, whether it is doing things or practicing, he pays attention to a stable word.

As the cold air spread all over his body, Zhang Xujing found that the speed of absorbing crystal nuclei had slowed down a lot, far less rapid than that of Wuzhi, and it took five minutes to absorb one after a minute, and the original chill was also reduced a lot.

So he took out one again, put it in the dantian part, and began to absorb the Spiritual Diagram Meditation Sutra, the outside world is too dangerous, it is still necessary to speed up the pace of promotion, and when there is a sense of breakthrough, he will break through with the help of Tuna in one fell swoop, and it is not completely dependent on foreign objects.

The third, the fourth, and finally the sixth, the feeling of swelling in the lower abdomen became more and more obvious, which was a sign of an imminent breakthrough.

Zhang Xujing shivered all over, although the cold feeling was not as good as before, but when the cold feeling continued to disturb the body, the cold seemed to be superimposed, making it more and more unbearable.

"Xiao Ning, your brother will be fine." Pei Yan said with some worry.

Zhang Ning shook her head, "I don't know, I haven't seen him like this." ”

"That's not right." Liang Annie said, "Could it be that the practice has gone mad?" Lao Kong, you are his senior brother, you don't see what will happen. ”

Kong Linghai looked worried and said, "Senior brother, this is probably at a critical stage. ”

"Nonsense, we can all see that it is at a critical stage." Liang Annie said unceremoniously, "Hey, what do you say he has in his pocket?" Who knows? ”

Shen Dongling knew what it was, but she didn't speak, after all, she didn't know what the crystal in the worm's stomach was.

"Brother Zhang's injuries don't seem to bleed." Qian Nan observed carefully, with a relieved expression on his face.

"I'll take a look." Zhang Ning couldn't hold back her worries, and was about to get up by holding on to the cave wall.

"I'm fine, you guys have a good rest." Zhang Xujing's faint voice sounded, and after a pause, he listened to him again: "Winter Spirit, take care of your spirit." ”

"Okay." Shen Dongling replied softly.

He called her Winter Spirit?

Qian Nan and the girls looked at Shen Dongling in unison, but saw that she was really obediently leaning on her backpack and closing her eyes.

She is indeed very tired, others may just be physically exhausted and tired, but she is mentally and physically exhausted, and she was bitten on the head by the insect demon, and now her forehead is still red.

Zhang Xujing took a deep breath, and the qi in the dantian turned far away to Xiao Zhoutian, removing most of the cold qi in his body, and then took out a crystal nucleus from his pocket again and continued to absorb it...... Ten minutes later, the eighth piece had not been completely absorbed, and the dantian was emptied, and the qi machine shrank into a ball, and the intensity of the qi machine increased.

Broke through.

Zhang Xujing was happy to feel the short-term pleasure, and at the same time full of regret.

I still can't hold back, I should have stopped in the middle, or stopped when I was about to reach the point, or I shouldn't have started.

Just this time, next time, there will never be another time, I swear.

Zhang Xujing secretly made up his mind in his heart, and tried to absorb the last bit of crystal nucleus.

However, this time, only the crystal nucleus the size of a sesame seed was left, but it did not enter the dantian, but did not move.

Is it too small?

Zhang Xujing thought about taking out a crystal nucleus again, but found that he still couldn't absorb it. Then I took out two or three coins and tried them at the same time, but the result was still the same as above.

It seems that it has nothing to do with size and quantity, that is the factor of quality.

Is it because the density of the yin qi contained in the crystal nucleus does not match the density of the qi in the second realm? The second qi generator has a high intensity, and the insect demon crystal nucleus has a low yin qi intensity, and the two are incompatible with each other.

That's how it should be.

It's a pity that there are still twenty crystal nuclei, and in this case, I can't use them.

Zhang Xujing was a little stunned, sat up and turned around, but saw that everyone in the cave was staring at him, only Shen Dongling fell asleep.

Crystal nucleus, brain, mental power.

I wonder if the supernatural can absorb the yin energy in the crystal nucleus, and if so, what kind of role can it play?

Time passed little by little, the sky outside the cave continued to be gray, and faintly there would be light from the clouds, and there was no shadow of any creature in the mountains except the sound of the wind, let alone the insect demon.

The people in the cave pinched their unconscious legs, they were all gray-headed, and their clothes had changed color, Liang Annie was still wearing her khaki draped shirt and Harlan cropped pants, which were washed clean when she left the temple, and now they have long since changed color. Pei Yan's police uniform has also turned yellow, and only the epaulettes are still shining.

Zhang Ning leaned on the wall of the cave and closed his eyes to recuperate, Qian Nan was stunned and didn't know what he was thinking, Kong Linghai yawned and tried to sleep, Tang Bo's face was full of traces of soil and tears, and his eyes looked out of the cave with a slightly dull look.

"It's raining."

Tang Bo suddenly spoke.

The attention of the people in the cave was immediately attracted, and sure enough, a drizzle of rain fell in the gray world outside, like a misty light veil rippling in the air. A slight cold air blew into the cave, causing several thinly dressed girls to shiver.

"It would be nice if there was a fire-type ability, and you could keep everyone warm." Kong Linghai smiled, and when he saw that no one responded, he put away his smile dryly.

The light rain did not stop until the evening, and as soon as the rain stopped, the fog ran out of the hidden valley, covering the whole mountain range, and the fog could not see the distance.

Zhang Xujing woke up from meditation and vomiting, the pain in his back was almost imperceptible under the nourishment of the qi, but the dried blood stains still looked a little scary.

Glancing at the cold and shivering people in the cave, he took out the food and ate it together, and put away all the magic weapons and talismans.

Seeing this, everyone knew that this was the rhythm of departure, and they all stood up, although their legs were still a little weak, but it was no problem to walk normally.

Zhang Xujing didn't say much, took the lead out of the cave, and led everyone along the muddy dirt road to the south.

The fog was still thick until it was dark, and the chill from the sudden drop in temperature drove pedestrians to speed up their pace, and the muddy water splashed people's pants were covered in mud, and occasionally someone fell and was covered in mud.

Tang Bo didn't cry, Qian Nan held Zhang Ning's hand tightly, Pei Yan hurried silently, Liang Annie looked up at the front from time to time, and there was no end in sight to the mountain road in the dark.

Shen Dongling was the last, looking at the desolate and gloomy lonely grave on the side of the road, she always felt that something was following behind her, but when she turned around, there was nothing. Kong Linghai sighed, his heart was very depressed, he wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say, he could clearly perceive that today's running away with his backpack made him estranged from everyone in the team, including his junior brother.

The road out of the mountain is criss-crossed, rugged, and when you pass through the dead villages, you will also encounter wandering zombies, those are the former kind and generous herdsmen and farmers, who have not escaped the invasion of evil spirits, but fortunately, there are not many of them, and the threat to the team is not very large.

The cold wind was swishing, the night was misty, it was bumpy, it was bumpy, stopping and stopping for seven or eight hours, and after seven or eight desolate villages, the group finally came to the downhill section, and the loess road became a gravel road.

At this moment, everyone saw a glimmer of hope, and the originally exhausted body had more strength, even if there were still endless mountain outlines in front of the darkness, but at least the earth color under their feet was no longer monotonous, and it was no longer the kind of desolation that made people oppressive.

The gravel road is not long, only walking less than a kilometer to the end, when everyone stepped on the hard asphalt road, even Zhang Xujing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's a road!" Liang Annie shouted excitedly.

Tang Bo couldn't suppress the outburst of emotions in his heart anymore, and cried.

"Immeasurable Tianzun, I almost thought I couldn't get out." Kong Linghai simply lay down on the road.

"Let's find a place to rest." Zhang Xujing said that it was about three or four o'clock in the morning, and after walking for such a long time, he also felt a little tired, not to mention others.

Pei Yan looked up and down through his blurred vision: "I didn't see a car on the road." ”

Liang Annie said: "This is a mountainous area, and there will not be too much traffic. ”

The tired team cheered up and continued to set off, the vast world was filled with darkness, dead silence, and sinking, as if they were the only living beings in the entire space.

"Brother Zhong An, there seems to be a house in front." Qian Nan suddenly spoke, breaking the silence that had just appeared.

Zhang Xujing turned his head to look at Qian Nan who was walking beside his sister, a little surprised, and no one had called him by his name for a long time.

In the dimness, Qian Nan's big black eyes and Zhang Xujing looked at each other nervously, and pointed to the dark shadow building not far ahead.

Zhang Xujing turned around, in fact, not only Qian Nan, but everyone else also saw the building, and saw that it was a gas station.

"Chief, there may be a car at the gas station." Pei Yan said.

"Well, go over there and rest, and I'll leave again in the morning." Zhang Xujing looked at his sister who had been clenching her teeth and hurrying silently, regardless of whether there was a car or not, the team had to rest.

"It's finally time to rest!" Tang Bo wailed, and was just about to speed up his pace to the gas station, when a pair of blue-gray eyes suddenly appeared in the dark grass pile on the side of the road, and his dry and powerful arms pinched him directly.

Tang Bo was so frightened that he screamed "Mom", turned around and ran.

Shen Dongling, who was the closest, stepped forward to protect Liang Annie and Pei Yan, and seeing that the zombie was about to pounce on Tang Bo, an iron rod swept over and smashed the zombie's head to pieces.

Kong Linghai dragged Tang Bo and looked around vigilantly.

"Roar."

The gas station immersed in the darkness was awakened at this moment, and more than a dozen black shadows appeared from inside, rushing towards the source of the sound and towards the smell of human flesh.

Zhang Ning decisively took out a copper coin sword and pointed at the zombie.

Zhang Xujing took out the peach wood sword from his back and took the initiative to meet him, he is now a second Taoist priest, the qi is poured into the sword body, and the body is more agile and powerful, the zombies were pierced by the peach wood sword one after another, and then fell to the ground with a low hum and no movement.

The people behind also quickly followed, holding the weapons in their hands to mend the occasional two zombies that were not dead. Soon the group walked into the gas station.

There were several social vehicles parked crookedly in the gas station, some of the doors were open, and the people inside were long gone, and some of the doors were closed, and a gray and rotten face was printed on the window glass, grinning at the living people, and then Kong Linghai broke the window and killed them.

Liang Annie and Pei Yan took the initiative to check the vehicles, and luckily all the cars started normally.

Kong Linghai took the lead and said, "I'll go first to see the situation." As he spoke, he was about to enter the station door.

Seeing this, Tang Bo hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the back hem of Kong Linghai's clothes and said, "Kong Linghai, you stay and protect me." ”

Kong Linghai was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what Tang Bo was doing, he still had to seize the opportunity to perform and eliminate the estrangement between him and his junior brother, so he immediately shook off Tang Bo's hand and walked in cautiously.

The station room was pitch black, the containers were overturned, and the goods were scattered in a mess. The doors of the duty room on the left and the lounge on the right were left open, and there was no movement.

The zombies should be the only ones that ran out just now.

After confirming that it was safe, Kong Linghai came to the door and signaled that everyone could come in.

Then everyone entered the house one after another and closed the door.

"Finally a nest." Liang Annie called weakly, "Tired and hungry." ”

"Liang Annie, be quiet, don't lure the zombies over." Tang Bo frowned.

"Hey, I'm talking about you...... Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you more, eat first and eat first. Liang Annie put down the backpack on her body and unzipped it.

Tang Bo said again: "There is so much food on the ground, can't you leave it in the bag?" ”
