Chapter 242: The Gold Eater
"Congratulations to Senior Brother Zhao for reaching the quarterfinals."
"Senior Brother Zhao is brave ......"
Zhao Lin walked back to his seat and greeted the congratulations of Da Yue's disciples.
Several heads and elders also smiled, and Zhao Lin won this game to ensure that Da Yue had a place in the quarterfinals, and his record was not inferior to the previous one.
And the faces of the elders of other countries are not very good-looking, a place in the top eight will not make them feel uncomfortable, the key is Zhao Lin's age.
Reaching the quarterfinals at the age of 20 means that there is a huge room for growth, and it means that you can still participate in three martial arts competitions.
Who will be able to make it in the future?
Now it seems that although what Huo Shan did was out of line, it was understandable, but it was a pity that he failed......
The third match was between Borta and Huang Guanglie.
Borta cultivates the earth genus exercises, and Huang Guanglie is the wood genus.
Mu Ketu, it stands to reason that Huang Guanglie has an advantage in exercises, but in the face of absolute strength, the role of attribute restraint is very limited.
Huang Guanglie did not use tricky tactics such as detours and detours, but swung his horse to face Borta head-on.
Borta had a giant-like body, but he was not clumsy, and Huang Guanglie tried his best, only holding out for a dozen breaths before he was defeated.
Next, McQueen, Li Taiqing, He Liancheng, Muheli, and Su Mu also defeated their respective opponents, and the dust settled in the quarterfinals.
Wushu, Weizi and Dayue each occupy two seats, and Wuche and Xiuzhao occupy one seat.
At the end of the competition, all parties did not have the intention to stay for a long time and left the school field one after another.
Back in the other courtyard, the elders helped Zhao Lin and He Liancheng analyze their opponents as usual.
Tomorrow, Zhao Lin's first opponent will be Muheli of Wushu, and if he wins, the second battle will be against the winner of He Liancheng and Borta.
The best outcome is naturally for the two Dayue disciples to meet in the semifinals, but everyone knows that this possibility is very small.
He Liancheng's strength is only one line higher than Huang Guanglie, and Huang Guanglie was easily defeated by Borta today.
When he walked out of the main hall, He Liancheng suddenly stopped Zhao Lin, "I will try my best to deal with Borta tomorrow and force him to use his real skills." ”
Zhao Lin knew that this was helping himself, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother He, but be more careful, Borta's fist is heavy." ”
He Liancheng nodded, "I have my own measure. ”
……
At night, the moon is as cool as water.
Zhao Lin sat in the courtyard, thinking about tomorrow's competition.
As you continue to advance, the opponents you encounter are getting stronger and stronger.
Tomorrow's first opponent, Kiheri, will be tough, but Zhao Lin is confident that he will win.
But Borta is not easy to say.
So far, Borta has yet to show his true strength.
On the surface, Borta's specialty techniques are heavy mountain boxing and body gathering, but Zhao Lin guesses that he still has the ability to press the bottom of the box.
Thinking about it from another perspective, if he is Borta, cultivates the earth genus exercises, and has a huge body, he will definitely practice another armor skill.
Although each genus has armor exercises, the most effective is undoubtedly the earth genus.
This is not a random speculation, but a conclusion based on martial arts deduction.
Basang is the same, the intelligence said that he can use a martial art called Feng Wolf Slash, but he has never been seen to use it.
For these two people, Zhao Lin was deeply jealous.
Although his physical fitness is far beyond that of ordinary people with the assistance of the Spirit Beast Diagram, after all, he has only been practicing martial arts for more than three years, and he does not have enough accumulation.
Maybe you can make it to the final battle and win the championship in one fell swoop, or maybe you can stop at the top four.
In his heart, Zhao Lin certainly hoped that it was the former.
It's important to become famous as soon as possible, and no one can say what will happen in three years.
Once you win the championship, the cultivation resources you have obtained are almost inexhaustible, and you will be able to enter the Yuan Realm earlier.
Thinking of this, Zhao Lin's fingers unconsciously touched a text left by Lu Yuanxiu's predecessor on the back of the chair.
This session will be crowned......
"Seniors bless, so that we can be like you, win the championship in the martial arts competition, and then cultivate all the way to the innate realm."
At this time, there was a commotion in front of the gate of the courtyard, and the sound was that several heads were talking to outsiders, as if there was also the voice of Elder Ruan of the Lotus Sect.
"What could it be at such a late hour?"
Zhao Lin felt strange and listened attentively.
Originally, this place was far away from the gate, but out of habit, he released ultrasonic waves every few breaths to probe the surroundings, so that he could detect it.
"A few heads, excuse me. One of the gold devouring rats of this sect has run away, as if it has run into this courtyard, can you let us go in and find it? ”
In front of the gate of the courtyard, Elder Ruan said apologetically.
"Gold Eater? How did you come here? ”
Lu Chaohuan frowned, his face was suspicious, and the heads of the Liyang Sect and the Zhennan Sect also had a bad face.
Tomorrow is the quarterfinals, but at this time, a strange beast ran out, is it to make trouble?
Elder Ruan smiled bitterly: "Several leaders also know that Li Taiqing is the only one in the top eight of our Xiuzhao, and his opponent is McQueen of Weizi. ”
"Even if we deliberately make trouble, we are going to toss Wetz's side, why do we have to come here? There is indeed a gold-devouring rat from our sect that has come here. ”
Lu Chaohuan was still skeptical, "That gold-devouring rat is walking underground, how do you know that you have run here?" ”
Elder Ruan sighed lightly, shook his cuffs, and released a white-haired big-eared fox, the fox's body was not big, but its ears were the same as two fans.
"This big-eared fox can hear sounds coming from the ground, and its sense of smell is very keen, and we rely on it to chase after ......"
Gold Eater Rat?
Zhao Lin sat up from his chair abruptly, and a thought moved in his heart.
The gold eater rat is a small exotic beast named after its penchant for metal ore.
The name has gold in it, and people who don't know the inside story think it's a metal beast, but it's actually an earth genus.
After absorbing so many beast spirits, Zhao Lin roughly figured out the level of them.
In general, Alien Beasts are stronger than ordinary Beasts, and Alien Beasts with attributes are stronger than Alien Beasts without attributes.
Each grid of the Spirit Beast Diagram is precious, but it is still worth absorbing the Earth Spirit.
The key is to be able to improve your cultivation, which is a real benefit!
The quarterfinals and the quarterfinals are just around the corner, absorbing the spirit of the beast and improving the cultivation will undoubtedly increase the certainty of victory.
Thinking of this, Zhao Lin didn't listen anymore, jumped onto the roof, his Adam's apple vibrate, and opened all his hearing.
Since absorbing the spirit of the silverwing bat, his hearing has greatly improved, and the movement of the entire courtyard cannot escape his ears.
Ultrasound waves can't penetrate the ground, but the small sound of the ground can be transmitted to the ground, and then received by Zhao Lin's ears.
Contrary to the intuition of ordinary people, sound travels much faster in soil than in air, and can even travel ten times the speed of sound in stone.
There was a rustle, gnawing, and snoring sound from the ground......
Zhao Lin had long been familiar with these sounds, most of them were made by burrowing animals during their activities, but there was a sound that aroused his alertness.
There was a living creature moving at a very fast speed at a depth of about ten feet underground.
"The gold eater rat has a fusiform body, hard fur, and sharp claws, and can quickly pick up the soil and walk underground, so it should be right!"
Zhao Lin followed the prestige to the southwest corner of the courtyard.
"I'm going to run out!"
He immediately jumped off the roof, climbed over the courtyard wall, and ran after the sound.
Chased to the vicinity of the courtyard wall, made sure that there was no one on the left and right, jumped and flew outside the wall.
Out of the courtyard, Zhao Lin was worried that his feet would be heard by the gold-devouring rat if he stepped on the ground, so he unfolded his body and flew low at altitude, while scanning the surroundings with ultrasound to prevent being bumped into.
The night was deep, and one man and one rat, one on the ground, one underground, went up the mountain.
The gold eater ran underground for half an hour, perhaps tired, and suddenly stopped moving.
Zhao Lin landed slowly, looked around, and found that the ground was bare, only some large and small stones, next to it was a forest, and the moon had climbed to the treetops.
Zhao Lin walked lightly behind a boulder and waited patiently.
The underground is cool and humid, the air is impassable, and the gold-eating rats will come up sooner or later.
After a long while, the gold-eating rat finally moved, and the sound of digging dirt sounded again.
This time, however, it was not in a certain direction underground, but above ground.
Zhao Lin perked up, lowered his body, and stared at the ground with his eyes unblinking.
To his surprise, the Gold Eater Rat was extremely cautious, and when it came to a place a foot above the ground, it suddenly stopped going up, but dug horizontally, digging out the shape of a circle.
Zhao Lin speculated that because the gold eater could not see the ground and was not worried about the situation above, he patrolled underground, and if he heard movement above, he would not come out.
"Alien beasts are just different, they act so cautiously."
Zhao Lin couldn't help but glance at the Gold Devouring Rat, and began to think about how to collect the spirit very safely.
The gold devouring rat dug three times in the ground, but did not hear any movement on the ground, and then slowly dug to the ground, less than a zhang away from the position where Zhao Lin was standing.
Zhao Lin adjusted his breathing, his luck was accumulated, his left hand was clenched into a fist, his right hand was upright, and he only waited for the gold devouring rat to attack as soon as it appeared.
"Smack."
The gold-eater rat dug into the ground, and there was a bowl-sized stone on the top of his head, and the gold-eater rat pushed the stone open, revealing a small half of its head, and looked around.
Zhao Lin had already retreated behind the boulder at this time, and the gold-devouring rat looked left and right before slowly crawling out of the hole.
A large mouse with a golden hair, a pointed head and a body like a shuttle burrowed out of the ground and exhaled at the moon.
At this moment, Zhao Lin jumped out from behind the stone with an arrow step and shot a Heavenly Frost Punch.
The gold eater shrank in fright, turned around and drilled into the hole, but immediately realized that it was too far away from the hole, and immediately waved its two sharp front paws to dig the ground.
The dirt is flying, and half of my body is about to sink into the ground.
When the cold air hit, the body of the gold-devouring rat stiffened, and its movements slowed down.
It's the slow beat that kills it.
Zhao Lin struck out the Heavenly Frost Fist with his left hand, only stopping for half a breath, and swinging a slash with his right palm.
The palm wind is like a knife, and it slashes the gold-devouring rat out.
Zhao Lin couldn't use the two exercises at the same time, but after a long period of practice, there was only a short gap in between.
The gold devouring rat gnaws on ore, its fur is as hard as iron, and it may not be able to kill it in one or two hits, so it must be paralyzed with the Tianshuang fist first, and then give a heavy blow with a splitting slash.
Otherwise, once it is allowed to burrow into the ground, even if the Yuan Realm martial artist comes, there is no way.
The Gold Eater Rat was hit hard and trembled twice in the air, but it was still alive.
Zhao Lin kept holding his hand, and then he slashed out another palm, picked up a stone in his hand, and smashed it down on its head.
After that, he was still not at ease, and he lifted the stone again and continued to smash it.
After a while, a pale yellow spirit rose.
