Chapter 8: Exploring New Areas
At night, Changyue maintained her cultivation state and switched her consciousness to the second body.
In the underwater cave in the nameless sea, the Xuanyin snake slowly opened its eyes.
Compared to a few months ago, it had become even larger after digesting the two beasts, at least a dozen meters long, with silver-white scales shining brightly, and a terrifying coercion exuding from all over its body.
Now the Xuanyin Snake can barely be called a behemoth!
Changyue gently twisted her body a few times, activating her muscles and bones, and the sea water tumbled violently under its movements, as if it was about to boil.
After taking care of its body, Changyue quickly swam out of the cave, and it found that its speed became faster and more flexible, and the change in body shape did not cause it any inconvenience, but the huge power of the sleeping body made it feel completely safe.
Under the nourishment of the two complete alien beasts, the strength of Changyue's second body has increased greatly, and it is completely different from the state when it has just transformed into a strange beast.
The fish in the sea saw the terrifying giant beast of the Xuanyin Snake swimming out of the cave, and they were immediately frightened and fled in all directions. Changyue turned a blind eye to this, and now these small fish and shrimp have completely no effect on its growth, and at most it will fill its stomach.
But what Changyue pursues is not only to fill his stomach, but also to quickly increase his strength.
Today, Changyue plans to leave her territory and explore outside.
After thinking for a while, Changyue chose the east and swam forward without hesitation.
I don't know how long I swam, Changyue found that the surrounding environment had hardly changed, and there was still an endless and empty seabed everywhere, with a large area of seagrass scattered on the bottom of the sea, and groups of small fish and shrimp swimming in the water.
Other than that, there was nothing, which disappointed it.
How can you hunt like this? Time is wasted on finding prey, it's better to ...... To see the sea?
The last time I went to the sea, Changyue encountered two groups of seabirds fighting, and he also worked as a fisherman, maybe this time he also had a harvest?
After making up its mind, the long moon began to move upstream, and soon the sun's rays appeared in its sight.
Poking her head out of the water, Changyue looked around, the sparkling sea was calm, there was no coast around, and there was not a single bird in the sky.
This......
Just when Changyue was in trouble, it noticed that there seemed to be a black spot in the distance, but because it was too far away, it couldn't really see it.
That...... I guess it's an island!
With this discovery, Changyue was overjoyed and immediately planned to set off towards the island. To be honest, it has long been tired of being in the sea, except for the sea water and the sea, not even a single hair can be seen, and sometimes it is quite scary for snakes.
The feeling of being in the deep sea of loneliness, to be honest, is not very good.
Twisting his body, Changyue quickly headed towards the island.
The so-called Wangshan ran a dead horse, and now it is replaced by a dead snake on Wangdao, the reason is the same, after swimming for most of the day, Changyue can only gradually see the general outline of the island.
It was an island in the shape of a crescent, and the island was lush and overgrown with trees, and from a distance, it looked like a handful of hair growing on the smooth skin of a person. The sea is the skin, and the island with trees is the hair.
Swim and swim, and I saw that I was about to reach the vicinity of the island, but it was getting dark.
After dark, Changyue gave up her plan to continue on her way. Although its beast body has the ability to see at night, the night is the time when the Xuanyin Snake absorbs the moonlight cultivation.
Or cultivation is more important.
Randomly found a reef where he could live in, Changyue coiled his slender body on it, and then raised his neck to invite the art of inviting Yuehua to start cultivating.
She had already explained that Granny Feng and Sang Ye were going to retreat and cultivate for two to three days, so that they wouldn't disturb themselves, so it would be okay if Changyue's consciousness didn't return to her body in these two or three days.
Martial artists have a special physique, as long as their qi and blood are sufficient, they will not have any problems if they do not eat for two to three days when cultivating.
As she refined wisps of moonlight into her body, Changyue felt as if the skin under her scales was breathing, which was simply comfortable.
Previously, Changyue had already consulted the information about the Xuanyin Snake in the Li family's library.
In the records of the Li family, this strange beast was born by bathing in the moonlight, and was born with the ability to cultivate with the help of the moonlight, and even could use the moonlight to perform various visions, and successfully grew into adulthood and even had the ability to move mountains and reclaim the sea.
It's a pity that the Li family's record of the Xuanyin snake is only a few words, because it is said that this special beast was extinct a long, long time ago. Strange beasts are rare, let alone a special beast like the Xuanyin Snake!
After cultivating hard all night, Changyue became energetic the next day, so he continued to hurry, and finally reached the edge of the island smoothly.
However, Changyue did not rush to the island, because this island was much larger than it expected, and who knows if there would be any unpredictable dangers on the island.
Cautiously swam along the coastline of the island, Changyue didn't find any danger, so he was planning to land on the island.
However, at this moment, it sensed that some unknown change seemed to be taking place in the water flow around it, and this discovery made it can't help but raise its vigilance to the highest level.
The perception of beasts is very keen, so Changyue chose to trust the intuition of this body, subconsciously swinging his body and quickly swimming to the side.
It was also at this time that a bloody mouth burst out of the sea and bit Changyue fiercely.
Changyue didn't think about it, raised her tail, and slammed it towards the creature that pounced, directly sending the other party flying.
It turned out that before he knew it, Changyue had been surrounded by a group of sharks.
These sharks are very peculiar in appearance, not only are their backs covered with hard, sharp scales, but also have a row of hideous barbs on their backs, and their mouths are full of sharp serrations, and they are extremely vicious.
When did these sharks come together? It hadn't noticed a hint before!
The vanguard was repulsed, and the other sharks saw that they had been discovered by Changyue, so they gave up their plans to sneak attack, and immediately flew towards Changyue fiercely one by one. Changyue is not afraid at all, you have a bloody mouth, don't you have the old lady? Dare to provoke the old lady, the old lady will take one bite at a time!
So it opened its mouth and bit at the shark.
It's much bigger than sharks.
There are also exotic beasts in this group of sharks, and there are even several, but each one is not as strong as Changyue.
It's just that there are a lot of them, and they can use crowd tactics, and soon Changyue's beautiful body appeared with large wounds under the bite of the sharks, and some areas became bare because of the falling scales.
The smell of blood stimulated the ferocity of the sharks, but at the same time, it also stimulated Changyue's nerves, and it shuttled through the sharks like crazy, and even directly swallowed several sharks alive, and the surrounding sea water became blood-red.
It tastes good, but the thorns on their backs are a bit prickly.
Although many sharks were culled, two fists were hard to beat with four hands, and the injuries on Changyue's body became more and more serious, and the severe pain made its hot head gradually calm down.
It's not a way to go on like this, so let's run away first!
So after swallowing another shark, Changyue turned around and swam to the shore. It was fast and agile, and in the blink of an eye it shook off its tail and crawled to the shore.
After successfully landing on the shore, the sharks can only stare dryly in the water, although there are strange beasts among them, but they are not strong enough to escape their nature, and can only watch the food in their mouths run away.
Before leaving, Changyue glared at the shark school fiercely: Wait, I'll come back sooner or later to settle accounts with you!!
This island is lush with grass and trees, and Changyue found a safe bush to hide in, planning to rest first. Just went through a fight, and it's a bit out of strength right now.
Fortunately, in the process of fighting, it swallowed several sharks, although they were not at the level of alien beasts, but they were enough to replenish their physical strength.
After resting for most of the day with his eyes closed, feeling that his physical strength was recovering well, Changyue slowly opened his eyes, intending to continue exploring the island. It doesn't plan to go back to the previous underwater cave in the near future, so it's better to find a place to live on the island first.
The situation on the island is unknown, Changyue did not rashly show her figure, but chose to use the cover of the grass to explore little by little.
At this time, on the branch not far from Changyue, a big white bird flew out of nowhere, its eyes were very sharp, and it seemed to have discovered the existence of Changyue, so it quacked, and the cry was very ugly, as if it was laughing at Changyue's mottled scales.
In the process of fighting with the sharks, Changyue's beautiful silver scales fell off a lot, so at this moment it looked very embarrassed, looking like a leather snake from a distance.
I already minded my current appearance, but now I noticed the ridicule in the eyes of the big bird, and Changyue was furious: You dare to laugh at the old lady even if you are a broken bird, and you don't look at how many catties and taels you have!
It just so happens that the old lady has nowhere to vent her anger now, so let's take you out of anger first!
So Changyue flew and flew in an instant, opening his mouth to bite the big bird standing on the branch.
The big white bird didn't seem to expect Changyue to suddenly make a sneak attack, and his eyes were full of consternation and he was swallowed by Changyue in one gulp.
You...... Don't talk about martial virtues......
I ate it too fast and didn't taste it.
Changyue Bar sighed twice and thought so, sure enough, compared to the feathered bird, the fish in the water is more delicious!
After turning into a snake, the taste of Changyue is different from the body. Overcoming the initial discomfort, now Ru Mao can enjoy himself by drinking blood.
It's all about survival, not stumbling!
Having eaten the big bird that mocked him, Nagasuki continued to cautiously explore the depths of the island. But the further it went, the more it felt that something was wrong, because after only a short walk, it encountered several strange beasts one after another.
A green lizard larger than it, a black bear covered in stiff steel hair, an ape leading monkey grandchildren, and a sika deer leading a herd.
Isn't this island full of strange beasts?
After thinking about it repeatedly, Changyue didn't continue to explore deeply, worried that if he encountered an incomparable existence, it would be doomed.
So for the rest of the day, it began to focus only on finding out what was going on in the neighborhood.
In the blink of an eye, two days have passed.
Thinking that the retreat time agreed with Granny Feng and them had arrived, Changyue found an underground crack to hide, intending to return to her body first. The entrance to this underground crack is narrow and hidden, making it difficult to spot. It was also found by accident, and it could be used to hide temporarily.
After her consciousness returned to her body, Changyue found that her body was indeed still cultivating the Jade Bone Technique on her own, but this time she didn't get much qi and blood from her second body, so there was no excess qi and blood accumulation in her meridians.
Seeing Changyue coming out of the room, Granny Feng, who was instructing Mulberry Leaf cultivation in the courtyard, hurriedly greeted her and asked, "Miss, how have you achieved your retreat cultivation in the past few days?" ”
Changyue replied with a smile: "I have gained a lot. Mother-in-law, has anything else happened in the yard in the past two days? ”
Granny Feng replied with a smile: "No, it's all good, how can we have anything here." ”
Changyue nodded with satisfaction: "That's good, then I'll retreat for a few more days and strive for an early martial arts cultivation master!" ”
Granny Feng said happily: "Miss, you can rest assured that you can retreat and cultivate, there are old slaves in the courtyard." ”
Changyue said gratefully: "Granny Lao is bothered. ”
So Changyue rested for a day, and after familiarizing himself with the martial arts he learned a few times, he declared that he was in retreat again the next day, and then returned to his second body.
Today it plans to start hunting in earnest!
Two days ago, it had roughly figured out the situation in the vicinity, there were a total of eight strange beasts in this small area, in addition to the lizard, ape, black bear and sika deer it had found earlier, Changyue later found one spider, one porcupine, one spotted tiger and one black snake in other places.
Today, Changyue plans to do something to that lizard beast.
Judging from the momentum, the lizard beast was the weakest existence among the eight nearby beasts, and Changyue felt that he had a great chance of winning against it.
Sneaking into the territory of the big lizard, Changyue found that it was lying on a boulder basking in the sun with its eyes closed, and it was in a very peaceful state.
In order not to attract the attention of the other party, Changyue slowly climbed a big tree under the cover of grass and trees, and then lurked on the branches of the big tree and waited quietly, looking for an opportunity to give the other party a fatal blow.
Don't look at the other party lying there lazily and motionless, Changyue doesn't dare to take it lightly because of this. Alien beasts are all top-tier predators, and who knows if it is luring its prey to appear now.
Time passed minute by minute, and Changyue waited from noon to almost sunset, and finally the motionless big lizard yawned lightly, in a very lazy state. Without the slightest hesitation, Changyue shot out of the canopy, opening her mouth to bite the other party's neck.
But the big lizard seemed to be prepared, and with a slight force of its limbs, it catapulted off the boulder, easily avoiding the attack of the long moon.
When the failed attack hit the boulder, it bounced and pounced on the moon, so fast that the snake was dumbfounded.
Fooled! Changyue was extremely annoyed.
There was no time to dodge, and Changyue was pounced on by the other party. Seeing that the other party's mouth was about to fall on his neck, Changyue immediately made a decision, twisted the slender snake body, and then tightened it violently, and wrapped it around the monitor lizard's body vigorously, strangling it from its abdomen to its neck.
Not to be outdone, the monitor lizard pulled at its sharp claws, and its nails as hard as iron slashed across Changyue's body, making Changyue's already not rich scales even worse.
Changyue used to be most satisfied with his beautiful scales, but now these two are picking on their own scales, it is angry, only to feel that an unknown force suddenly burst out of its body, strangled the body of the monitor lizard even harder, and stretched out the tongue of the monitor lizard.
The Xuanyin Snake is a different species among the alien beasts, capable of refining the moonlight to give birth to the power of Taiyin. But Changyue didn't know that his second body had the power of Taiyin at the moment, and he only felt that a special energy suddenly gushed out of his heart, and with the blessing of this power, its combat power increased greatly, and it actually strangled the monitor lizard to death like this.
Seeing that the monitor lizard was motionless, Changyue directly opened its mouth to bite the other party's neck, penetrating the scales there, and gulping the other party's blood. The blood of this monitor lizard was not delicious, and there was a particularly strong fishy smell, but Changyue did not dislike it, and still swallowed it in a big gulp, not a drop was wasted.
As a large amount of blood entered its stomach, Changyue's whole body became warm, and streams of heat erupted from its stomach, constantly washing its blood all over its body.
As soon as she returned to the crack in the ground, Changyue fell into a deep sleep, and at the same time, her consciousness automatically returned to her body.
At this time, the bright moon rose, and the bright moonlight shone on the body of the Xuanyin Snake through the gap, and the body of the Xuanyin Snake was filled with bursts of white mist at this time.
The white mist swirls gently around the Xuanyin snake, and with each breath it takes, the white mist will follow its mouth and nose into its body. There was a wonderful rhythm between this exhale and breath, which made the Xuanyin Snake's body even begin to emit a faint white light.
As the white light gradually enveloped the body of the Xuanyin Snake, its originally torn wounds were actually healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and new scales were slowly growing.
Changyue, who returned to his body, found that a large amount of qi and blood had accumulated in his meridians. She didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly accelerated the operation of the Jade Bone Technique, constantly refining these qi and blood into true qi.
I don't know if it's her own delusion, she feels that her speed of refining qi and blood seems to have improved a lot.
This time, the second body transmitted a lot of qi and blood, and Changyue's refining took a whole day.
After opening his eyes, he realized that he had broken through again, and Changyue hurriedly opened the golden finger.
Name: Li Changyue
Age: fourteen
Root bone: inferior
Exercise: Jade Bone Recipe (21% of small success)
Martial arts: Basic Knife Technique (32% of small successes), Instant Body (16% of small successes), Bloody Knife (46% of the first glimpse of the door)
Martial Arts Realm: Open Pulse Realm XII
The second body: Xuanyin snake
Seeing the information on the golden finger, Changyue had a smile on her face: Sure enough, it broke through!
The twelfth layer of the Open Pulse Realm!
After the twelfth layer, it is the Ning Yuan Realm, and after entering the Ning Yuan Realm, it means that Changyue can be regarded as a little master. According to her guess, the cultivation of the eldest brother Li Changming should be at this level.
The Ning Yuan Realm is not like the Open Pulse Realm, because it needs to open up twelve meridians, so it is divided into twelve layers. It only has two realms, which are the Lower Yuan Realm and the Upper Yuan Realm.
After the twelve layers of the canon are opened, if a martial artist wants to go further, he must open up the second vein of Ren and Du, and if he opens up the Ren vein, he will enter the Lower Yuan Realm, and if he wants to go further, he will enter the Upper Yuan Realm.
Only by opening up the two veins of Ren Du and forming a perfect small world with the twelve canons of the open vein realm, can the warrior have a leakless body.
It's just that the two veins of Ren Du are not as easy to cultivate as the Twelve Orthodox, they represent that the martial artist's cultivation has entered another world, and the martial artist's leakless body is not so easy to cultivate.
Just when Changyue was overjoyed that she had finally broken through to the twelfth layer of the Open Pulse Realm, her afterglow suddenly noticed another change on her golden finger.
Well? Root Bone: Inferior ......
Wasn't her root bone inferior before? How did it become inferior? It turned out that she had felt that her speed of refining qi and blood had increased, but that wasn't an illusion!
