Chapter 34: The Second Spirit
"Bandit Beard must have found the body of their companion."
Seeing this situation, Zhao Lin immediately thought of possible reasons.
Baiqiao Village is relatively close to the town, and there are many hunters in the village, many of whom are good villagers, so it is reasonable for Beard to be suspicious.
Zhao Lin didn't expect that he would get rich for a while, and he would cause trouble for Zhou Paotou and them, so he couldn't help but be a little worried.
"Are you all here?"
Hu Zi summoned everyone to the entrance of the village, asked the village elders to bring the list, and named them one by one, and at the same time sent people to search from house to house.
By the light of the fire, Zhao Lin saw that Zhu Dachun, Liang Song, and Zhou Paotou were also in the crowd.
The masked bandit leader shouted: "All the men roll up their sleeves and stretch out their hands!" ”
The villagers looked at each other, not knowing why the bandits made such strange demands, but Zhao Lin understood the intention of the bandits.
In the skinning stage, because of the molting, the color of the new skin is lighter than the original, especially the skin on the hands is the most obvious, and it takes several years to return to normal.
If the skin training is successful, it really reaches the strength of the first weight, and there is a cyan vertical pattern on the palm of the palm.
The bandits wanted to find out who had practiced martial arts in this way.
Zhao Lin glanced down at his hands, they had only undergone two molts, and the color change was not obvious, and the difference was almost indistinguishable.
Several bandits with torches came forward to check one by one, and after a circle, they found no suspicious people.
Zhao Lin put his mind at ease, he knew that Liang Song was practicing skin, but he had just completed his first molt, and he couldn't see it on the surface.
In fact, it doesn't matter even if they find out, Diao Liu is a double force realm, and his strength is much stronger than those who have just started to practice skin, and they should be looking for someone who has at least reached the first level of power realm.
Zhao Lin didn't snoop any further, and quietly disappeared in the dark.
When he returned to Sanjia Village, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the village was quiet and the bandits had not come to harass him.
Maybe the medicine taken in the medicine hall had an effect, and Zhao Lin slept very sweetly this night.
The next day, he deliberately got up a little early and rushed to Zhou Paotou's house to inquire about the situation.
"What, you killed two beards yesterday?"
Zhou Paotou and Zhu Dachun were both taken aback, "I said that the beard is like crazy, it turned out that you did it." ”
Liang Song's reaction was different from the two: "Brother Zhao, why don't you pull me up when you kill the beard?" ”
"I also made it a temporary idea, and I won't take such a risk again."
Zhao Lin explained, "Since Hu Zi has found Xiong Zhen's body, let them slowly find bear bile, and we still have to be cautious when using money." ”
"That's right, fortunately, our bear bile is sold to Songyuan County, and it will take a lot of effort for Beard to find it there."
Zhou Paotou said with a smile.
With the silver in his hand, Zhao Lin could finally practice martial arts in Liuhemen with peace of mind.
In the process of skin training, there needs to be an interval between each molt, otherwise the skin will be beaten and stimulated as soon as it is born, which will make the skin red, swollen and itchy, which is not conducive to growth.
Zhao Lin took advantage of this break and asked Yuan Cheng for a few days off - he had a big deal to do.
He wanted to open the second grid of the Spirit Beast Diagram.
The reason is that he wants to improve his strength as soon as possible.
Zhao Lin was always worried that if one day Hu Zi found out that he was the "real murderer", he would come to the door to settle accounts with him.
Although after the transformation of the spirit beast diagram, his physical talent is already ahead of most people, but no matter how good the talent is, it will take time to grind, and many things cannot be fast.
He wants to gain additional abilities.
There are still eight empty grids in the spirit beast diagram, no matter how you look at it, it is a waste, no matter how it is arranged in the future, using one first cannot be regarded as a squander.
As for what kind of talent this grid is used to absorb, Zhao Lin is thoughtful.
There are several elements of martial arts: strength, speed, skill, resistance, and intelligence.
He already has the power, and he can directly eliminate it.
Intelligence is also not needed, humans are the primates of all things, and there is no need to obtain intelligence from beasts.
Skills are improved by continuous practice and actual combat, and they need their own efforts, and it is difficult to resort to external forces.
As for the resistance, Zhao Lin's first reaction was a pangolin.
But the pangolin's "protective suit" is scales, not to mention ugly, but also affects movement.
Zhao Lin didn't know if he would grow scales after absorbing the spirit of the pangolin, if it was such a resistance, then don't do it.
The turtle also has armor, but its armor is actually bones, not skin.
After analyzing each item, the most practical and useful feature is speed.
When it comes to speed, the first thing that flashes in Zhao Lin's mind is the cheetah.
Cheetahs are the king of speed on land, and if you can hunt a leopard and get its unbeatable speed, it will definitely give you a huge boost in combat power.
However, after Zhao Lin communicated with Zhou Paotou, he found that things were almost impossible.
The reason is not that there are no leopards in Baektu Mountain, there is a kind of leopard in Baektu Mountain, which runs like electricity, and is also known as the diamond leopard.
In fact, the name of the bandit Drill Mountain Leopard was borrowed from this.
But the leopard is very difficult to hunt, this beast is very alert, has always gone without a trace, into the mountains to hunt has never heard of anyone running for the leopard, only heard of which hunter was attacked by the leopard.
Leopards are good at lurking and unpredictable, and even old hunters cannot grasp their whereabouts.
Zhao Lin was very disappointed when he heard this, so he had to retreat and asked, "Is there an antelope in Baitou Mountain?" ”
He remembers looking at the animal world in the past, the antelope was second only to the leopard in speed, and it was excellent in jumping and agility.
"What antelope? Haven't heard of it. Zhou Paotou looked dazed.
Isn't there an antelope in this world?
Zhao Lin's heart was half cold, borrowed pen and paper, and drew a pattern of an antelope on a piece of paper.
"It looks like a sheep, and it looks a bit like a deer, with a pair of horns on its head. Runs exceptionally fast, second only to leopards. Zhao Lin explained.
"Oh, you say it."
Zhou Pao patted his head and said with a smile: "I understand as soon as you draw it, this thing is not called an antelope, we call it a rock donkey." ”
"This thing is bigger than a sheep, looks like a little donkey, weighs one or two hundred pounds, and likes to move on high mountain tops."
"A casual jump is a foot high, and a jump is three feet away."
"The fur is ginger red, with a white belly, black stripes on both legs, a tuft of black hair on the hind hooves, and two horns that are long and pointed, with a bend in the middle."
Zhou Paotou said as he redrew the appearance of a rock donkey in his mouth.
Zhao Lin was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Yes, that's what I'm talking about!" It's fast, right? ”
Zhou Pao nodded vigorously, "Quick, follow the trend." I've seen it before when I was collecting medicine on the top of the mountain, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye. ”
Zhao Lin asked, "Do you think it's easy to catch them?" ”
Zhou Paotou shook his head and said: "It's not easy, you can't catch it, you can't shoot it with an arrow, this thing is very timid, it's difficult to get close." ”
"But it's feasible to play the next set, that is, they live on the top of the mountain, and they walk on the cliff like walking on the ground, and we don't have that ability."
"I advise you not to beat their ideas, it's thankless."
