Chapter 21: The Flower Thief
Half an hour later......
There was a fluttering sound, Shen Ming cautiously poked his head out, looking into the distance, it turned out to be a poor strange beast back, and there was a dying wolf in his mouth.
In an instant, there was a "swoop".
The poor strange beast rushed into the waterfall and returned to the lair, Shen Ming thought to himself, there should be a cave in the waterfall, and if you have the opportunity, you must go in and have a look, maybe there is some treasure!
But for now, let's figure out how to steal the flowers.
Risking his life and becoming the first flower thief in his life, the helpless Shen Ming showed a wry smile.
After a while, the poor beast rushed out of the waterfall, presumably after enjoying the food, and wanted to go out for a walk and digest it.
Shen Ming tried his best to hold his breath and calm his breath, after all, the strength of the Poor Strange Beast had reached the sixth level of Qi refining, if it was found to have the breath of a living person, it would be over.
Shen Ming lay in the grass, protected by the shade of the trees, and wore a black cloak, so that he could hide in the darkness while watching the movements of the poor beasts.
Suddenly!
The poor beast flew to the bottom of the waterfall, and saw it retract its wings and sit on the rock, and the raging waterfall struck its flesh, but it did not waver in the slightest.
In an instant, the surrounding air currents converged and merged into his dantian, and it was obvious that it was cultivating!
And the fragrance of the black mandala was also sucked into the dantian of the poor beast with the Xuan Qi, helping it to cultivate.
When a cultivator reaches the Qi Refining Realm, the dantian can be regarded as truly activated, and he can absorb the Xuan Qi of Heaven and Earth, the Dantian is like a volumetric flask, the higher the realm, the greater the capacity of the Dantian, and the more Xuan Qi will be absorbed.
And the absorbed Xuan Qi can be turned into energy, and the energy will burst out with great power through the exercises.
Strong enough to destroy the world and break the sky!
……
Before you know it, the sun sets.
The poor beast went out to hunt again, and it was about half a pillar of incense, and when I saw it coming back with a big python covered in scales, it would be its dinner.
"Every time the poor beast goes out and comes back, it takes about half a pillar of incense, in this case, I don't have a chance to steal flowers at all, it seems that only waiting until it falls asleep is my only chance." Shen Ming analyzed.
So hurry up and sleep now, and wait until the evening to act, I hope that the poor beast does not have the habit of eating supper.
……
At midnight, the night is dark and the wind is high, and in addition to the sound of the waterfall, there is also the sound of insects chirping.
And in the grass where Shen Ming was lying, a buzzing sound lingered in his ears, and Shen Ming waved his hand to drive away those pesky mosquitoes, but he was bitten into a few large bags.
Fortunately, he covered his face, and the mosquitoes didn't bite, otherwise he wouldn't know his senior sister when he went back, and Shen Ming was depressed in his heart.
The valley was pitch black, and there were no fingers to be seen, only a few glowing insects, and nothing else could be seen.
However, Shen Ming could see it clearly, every grass, every tree, every flower, every tree, and even the rocks on the other side of the river were reflected in his eyes, it was unbelievable!
When he found out that he had this special ability, even he was shocked, and it aroused his curiosity about his own background, and he didn't know how many secrets he still had.
But now is not the time to care about this, stealing flowers is the most important thing, now in the middle of the night, the poor beast should sleep, don't steal flowers at this time, when to stay?
Seeing that he took out his gloves and bag from his baggage, and then took out a dagger from his boots, he began to move.
In the blink of an eye, Shen Ming held a dagger in his right hand and gently inserted it into the gap of the cliff, and grasped the fixed stone with his left hand, and quickly climbed the rock.
Shen Ming thought to himself, even if there was a sound, it would have long been covered by the sound of the waterfall, and the poor strange beast should not find out.
However, what Shen Ming didn't know was that while the black mandala flower helped the poor beast to cultivate, it had already been connected with it, as long as the mandala was picked, the poor beast would immediately find out, otherwise how could so many beasts who coveted the mandala steal chickens and rice.
The mandala must absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, otherwise the poor beast would have already transferred it to the waterfall, and it would not let the other beasts eye.
He had also thought about this problem, if it was so easy to steal, then the flower would be long gone.
But he can't care about so much, it's much better than the day, I'm afraid that I won't pick the flowers during the day, and the poor strange beast will come back, at least in terms of time, it has a little advantage.
Shen Ming's posture was vigorous, and after twenty minutes, he had already climbed to the top of one hundred and fifty meters, and there was still about fifty meters to go, and he could reach the small hole where the black mandala grows, and his forehead was already sweating at this time.
……
At this time, in the Demon Palace Man Garden, the Demon Venerable was lying comfortably on the wooden chair, staring directly at the image in front of him, admiring the courage of Shen Ming's newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers.
"Demon Venerable, forgive Xiaohua for his mouth, the moment he picks the flower, he will inevitably wake up the poor strange beast, and then he will have no way out, with his current strength, he can't withstand falling from a two-hundred-meter-high cliff, and the final result may not be to fall to death, but to be eaten by the poor strange beast."
The Mandala Queen worried, her voice soft.
"That's right, then you should wake up that beast in advance, and I'll see how he copes."
Demon Venerable held the side of his face with his left fist and smiled evilly.
"Little Flower obeys."
The Queen of the Mandala responded, she can be said to be obedient to the Demon Venerable, and her voice is as gentle as water, if she is replaced by someone else and dares to order the Queen of the Mandala, I am afraid that she will be poisoned and killed on the spot.
In an instant, the Queen of the Mandala condensed her consciousness and conveyed her thoughts to the black mandala flowers in the valley in the forest of Sunny Town, thousands of miles away.
Shen Ming looked down, took a breath of cold air, and unconsciously was so high from the ground, if he fell, he would probably have a crushed fracture if he didn't die, and he would be cold in the next life.
Just as he was about to continue to climb up, a roar came from inside the waterfall, Shen Ming's heart suddenly jumped, and he wondered bitterly: It's really unlucky, why did the poor strange beast wake up suddenly, could it be that I was discovered?
But he didn't have time to think about it now, he couldn't pick the black mandala tonight, he had to hurry down!
Subsequently, Shen Ming quickly climbed down the rock.
Suddenly, with a "bang", the poor beast rushed out of the waterfall and rushed towards the cliff on the left side of the waterfall, accompanied by a gust of cold wind.
In an instant, the poor beast found a black shadow sticking to the cliff, and it showed its claws in anger and attacked Shen Ming, at this time Shen Ming was still fifty meters away from the ground, and wanted to return to the ground, but it was too late.
At the last moment, Shen Ming took a risk, saw that his legs were accumulating, and he quickly flew to the left and walked the wall!
"Dare to steal the king's black mandala, are you impatient?!" The Poor Strange Beast roared angrily, chasing after Shen Ming.
Shen Ming didn't have the support of Xuan Qi, and the eaves could only last for a few seconds, and his body was about to fall to the lower left.
When he was imminent, he kicked his right leg and swooped down into the woods, drowning in darkness.
The branches and foliage of the woods, the thorns are innumerable, and the poor strange beast with a huge body stopped in mid-air, not to mention whether you can find Shen Ming when you go in, if you are blind in the black light, if you hurt yourself, it will be worth the loss.
However, the poor beast did not intend to stop there, seeing that it was moving its Xuan Qi, gathering between its wings, and then fluttering its wings, two powerful whirlwinds sent out from its wings, like a boomerang, sweeping through the woods!
