The mountains and rivers stretch, the stars are in the sky, the moon is full, and the heart is difficult to deviate.

In countless sun-shining days, in the middle of every night when the cold moon frequented, Tao Qian walked towards the south step by step, with his head down, like a cow that only knew how to bury his head in the plough.

On the way, there are tigers and leopards blocking the road, eagles and eagles intercepting the road, there are days of hunger and thirst, there are times of feasting and drinking, there are nights infested by flying insects, and there are days when they are ridiculed by winged birds.

Tao Qian was still approaching Shanglin step by step, little by little, leaving a long trail behind him, which was soon erased by the power of nature.

After 7749 days, Tao Qian stepped into the middle. At this time, he was dressed in dust, his face was a little dark, his hair was messy, his robe had many holes, and many scarred wounds could be clearly seen on his exposed skin.

Tao Qian looked forward, only to see that the water pool and swamp in the fin ze were dense, the swamp was deep or shallow, and the water surface bubbled up from time to time, and then the "bang" burst open, and there was a swamp, in which the eyes of a crocodile floated from time to time, as if observing his visitor.

The waterhole is basically a shallow piece, with lotus leaves and lotus flowers, and many frogs in them either chirp, or pop out their tongues to stick a fly, and then withdraw their mouths to taste them. There are some flowers and plants scattered around the waterhole, and dragonflies fly in pairs and threes.

It's just that the swamps and waterholes are distributed extremely randomly, often one here, one there, and further away, there are a few lonely places, which leads to the road squeezed out between the waterhole and the swamp, or wide and flat, or cramped and difficult to walk, and there are many fierce beasts on the side, which can be described as extremely dangerous.

In addition to these, there is a faint heat with temperature floating throughout the entire fin area. It's no wonder that in addition to the swampy pools, there are also many hot springs in the Finzawa, which are good places for cultivation and self-cultivation.

Tao Gan wore the stars and the moon all the way, and his whole body was already sloppy, looking at his down-and-out appearance, Tao Qian smiled bitterly, ready to find a hot spring place to have a good rest. Tao Qian looked carefully and found that there was a large hot spring pool not far ahead, and a group of monkeys were frolicking in it.

Looking around again, Tao Qian thought in his mind and built a way out. Then I realized that there are only three ways to get to the hot springs

The first road, take the left, through a swamp and a few waterholes, the road is mostly narrow dirt roads, the slightest carelessness will slip and fall into the swamp on both sides, the whole road is muddy, it looks very difficult to walk, but the victory is the closest to this road, as long as the balance is good enough, the speed is fast enough, in a blink of an eye you must be able to pass.

The second road, go in the middle, the road is spacious and easy to walk, the road is also very smooth, only the two sides are a little wet, a large area in the middle is very dry, it looks much easier to walk, but both sides are swampy mires, there are a few crocodiles lying there in the middle of the road basking in the sun, the body is huge, the teeth are sharp, and it looks like it is not easy to mess with.

The third road is in the middle of the above two roads, there is no road, all the way is a waterhole, mixed with a few swamps and mud, but the waterhole area is not small, the depth is not shallow, there are driftwood on the water surface, and they are separated from each other by a distance to form a wooden bridge-like passage, but the requirements for body style are very high.

These three paths have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it depends on how people choose. Tao Qian thought about it for a while, and thought in his heart that if he wanted to get through this area safely, he had to make use of his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, and use his strengths to correspond to every road, and take which road is suitable.

Tao Qian has enough confidence in his body method, and decided to take the third road, the other two roads, the first road is narrow, although as long as the body is good enough, you can pass, and it is also the shortest, but compared to the driftwood on the third road, Tao Qian still chose the more stable latter.

And the second road, although smooth and easy to walk, but once you walk on this road, in the face of many fierce beasts, unless you can kill with one blow, otherwise as long as you are a little slower, you will be surrounded by all kinds of fierce beasts hidden in the swamps and waterholes on the side, and it will be dangerous at that time, so the third road is the safest.

Tao Qian came to the third road, observing the distance between each driftwood, calculating in his heart how much strength he would have to use to pedal the driftwood, how he could try his best not to alarm the crocodiles underwater, and so on.

The distance between the driftwood is different, among which the third and fourth roots, the last two are the farthest apart, and the other driftwood is not far from each other, and the difficulty is relatively simple.

Tao Qian warmed up, and then kicked the ground violently, and the whole person flew out like an arrow from the string, and then Tao Gan pointed to the ground on tiptoe and landed on the driftwood, and the driftwood was trampled down, and then Tao Gan used the reaction force to reduce some force under his feet, and then flew away like the driftwood in front.

In this way, Tao Qian maintained a certain speed and kept jumping and flying on the two driftwood platforms, and came to three or four driftwoods.

As soon as he stepped on the third driftwood, a crocodile in the water rushed out of the water and bit Tao Gan's calf, Tao Qian was mentally prepared, and took a step towards the front end of the driftwood without hurrying, avoiding the attack, and then stepped on the crocodile's head, and flew out with strength, and then flew to the seventh driftwood between a few jumps, and there was only the crocodile's angry roar behind him.

Coming to the last two pieces of driftwood, Tao Qian's feet increased his strength, and he made a leap to the land. And the crocodile under the water on the shore has long been ready, opened its mouth wide and accelerated to bite it.

Tao Qian first stabilized his body, then dodged the attack, took out a blast charm, and launched it towards the crocodile's soft neck that was not covered by armor.

Tao Qian saw that there was no danger, so he dragged the crocodile's corpse and continued to walk forward. When they came to the hot spring pool, the monkeys screamed one after another, and they were very dissatisfied with Tao Gan's arrival.

Tao Gan didn't talk much nonsense, and threw the crocodile's corpse directly into the hot spring, and the blood quickly stained the spring water, and the monkeys saw that such a ferocious crocodile was killed by the two-legged one in front of them, and immediately screamed and left, just staring at themselves from a distance in the tree, very angry.

Tao Qian threw the crocodile's corpse not only for this, but also because the crocodile's blood can strengthen the body and relieve fatigue.

This kind of crocodile, the body is wide, the armor covering the surface is hard, the limbs are short and thick, the most distinguishable is that there is a round body-like protrusion on the head, which is as hard as a stone, so it is generally called "stubborn crocodile", also known as "treasure water crocodile", because its whole body, in addition to the stomach and intestines, can either be used in medicine, or used to make armor, which is useful and valuable.

Therefore, Tao Qian threw the corpse of the stubborn crocodile into the hot spring water, but also to use the blood of the stubborn crocodile to polish the body and restore energy, the remaining meat can be eaten, and the armor is also excellent to use as a set of armor.

The monkeys went down from the trees to scramble for it, peeled off the skin of the four legs and put them aside to dry. Then take off your clothes and head into the hot spring waters.

"Shhh As soon as he entered the water, the hot feeling immediately hit, and the stinging sensation with the blood of the stubborn crocodile was also pierced on the skin, and some penetrated into the wound, which stimulated the pain nerves even more, Tao Qian couldn't help but gasp, but he still sat down steadily, leaving only one head still exposed.

As time passed, Tao Qian gradually adapted to the temperature of the spring water and the stimulation of the blood of the stubborn crocodile, and began to enjoy the pleasant feeling of his body being slowly nourished. He closed his eyes and slowly felt that every part of his body seemed to be gently brushed with a soft brush, the muscles of his whole body relaxed, and the fatigue was quickly disappearing.

Tao Qianpan sat down and entered the state of cultivation. As soon as his mind moved, the "Heavenly Destiny Rune Pattern" in the Mud Pill Palace naturally slowly appeared in his mind, and Tao Qian used his mental power to feel the Tao Yun emanating from the two simple characters, and the spirit of constantly receiving baptism seemed to be sublimated.

This is the first time Tao Qian has seriously felt his destiny rune, the two runes of "nature" bring him the feeling of being integrated with heaven and earth, if Tao Qian wants to find a word to describe it, that is, the unity of heaven and man.

Tao Qian's mind sank more and more into the Heavenly Mandate Rune, although the whole person was still sitting in the spring water, but it seemed to have been integrated into the heaven and earth, and the breath slowly reached an agreement with the heaven and earth, tangible but no longer qualitative.

Tao Qian only felt that his spirit had come to the outer heavens, and a huge figure suddenly appeared in front of him, with a solemn face, holding a jumping thunder snake in his left hand and a spear in his right hand, on which there was an endless sea of thunder surging and entwining. Tao Qian opened his eyes and saw that the figure was looking at him with majestic eyes.

The next moment, the thunder flashed, the darkness was pierced by the light, Tao Qian was illuminated by the strong light, and immediately closed his eyes, and it took a long time to ease up and open his eyes. But at this time, the figure had disappeared, but he suddenly felt itching at the wrist of his left hand, and when he raised his hand, a thunder snake mark appeared, and he seemed to have mastered the power of heavenly thunder.

In the spring water, Tao Qian opened his eyes suddenly, magnificent, vented to the surroundings, sent out a wave of air to swing around, the monkeys not far away were blinking their big eyes and looking curiously at the two-legged people in the spring, but suddenly saw a wave of air emanating from the two-legged people, and quickly ran away with a scream.

Tao Qian ignored them, raised his left hand, saw the mark on his wrist, and couldn't help but smile: "Visualize the gods." ”
