Chapter 4: Slaying the Demon in the Border Wilderness
Barren mountains and wild temples, and the mountain gods are decapitated.
The cold moonlight shone in through the dilapidated roof of the wild temple, adding a bit of gloomy and weirdness to the already somewhat dilapidated wild and dilapidated temple.
There was a fire beside the idol, and by the fire sat a young man with his eyes closed, a knife wrapped in strips of cloth lying across the boy's lap.
Beneath his ass sat the severed head of the mountain god.
There were several servants next to the boy, close together, and sat around the fire, both in awe and fear for the boy.
This young man is none other than Ji Chen.
At this time, it has been more than a month since he came out of Jijia Village, and he has temporarily settled down in Fenglin Town, planning to stay in Fenglin Town for a while, wait for his strength to improve, and then continue south.
Otherwise, with his current strength, let alone going to the imperial capital, it is estimated that he will have to die on the road when he steps out of Fenglin Town, after all, this is a world where gods and tricks coexist, black and white.
Although Fenglin Town is called a town, it is the size of a county, with a county garrison and some soldiers.
The reason why Ji Chen appeared here at this moment was because of a demon slaying post in Zhixian County.
There is a monster here, attacking livestock at night, sucking human blood, and has already attacked several villages.
There is no town demon division in Fenglin Town, and the magistrate has no choice but to issue a reward post, hanging two thousand taels of silver, and inviting the border wilderness to kill the demons.
Ji Chen took over this job, firstly, he could make money, and secondly, he could accumulate killing points.
Of course, the main reason is that he wants to take the demon pill.
The value of the demon pill is extremely high.
Cultivation is the most important resource, and in this barren land, the demon pill is the only resource.
Do you want to ask him if he is afraid?
Of course I'm afraid!
And so what.
If you fall into the rivers and lakes, you are fighting for your life.
The moment he picked up the knife, he was doomed to risk his life.
There are many demon slaying people in the border wilderness, and he is just one of the newcomers, and his name is unknown.
Seeing that Ji Chen seemed to be cultivating, several officials didn't dare to disturb. Whether they can survive tonight or not depends on this master.
If it weren't for the magistrate's urgency, they wouldn't have chosen to accompany this talented man to kill the demon on this big night.
One is to be a witness, and the other is to have the idea of fighting, once the demon is killed, the bounty Ji Chen will take the lion's head, and they can also drink a mouthful of soup, at least a few dozen taels.
For them, who only have three taels of silver per month, it is already a huge amount of money.
Ji Chen seemed to be sitting there, but he was actually running the Dragon Descending Heart Method.
He wanted to try the cultivation speed of the Dragon Descending Heart Method without relying on killing points, relying on instinct.
The conditions for the promotion of this exercise are too harsh, and the killing points required are simply terrifying.
The blood qi in his body was as strong as a furnace, and a true dragon blood qi was rushing and roaring in his body.
After a long time, Ji Chen opened his eyes, according to his calculations, it would take at least five years to break through to the next level with his own efforts.
He sighed slightly, not that I didn't want to work hard, but that the conditions didn't allow it.
With a slight flick of his eyes, Ji Chen saw his attributes.
Lifespan: 80
Realm: Building the foundation
Exercise: Descending the Dragon Heart Method - the second layer
Knife method: draped knife method - Dacheng
Kill: 63
Prestige: 41
In this month's time, he cleaned up the bandits and bandits outside Fenglin Town, and after crazy killing, he killed many low-level monsters, and finally accumulated three thousand killing points, and raised the dragon descending heart method to the second layer.
You read that right, it's three thousand killing points.
The first layer of the Dragon Descending Heart Method has a promotion condition of 1,000 kill points, and the second layer is 2,000.
It's horrifying.
His body has also been built twice, like steel cast in iron, and his blood is like a dragon.
Building the foundation, the first realm of cultivation, awakening the body's bloodline, and condensing the physique, this realm is the most important realm in cultivation.
After nine foundations, the mortal womb can be shedding and the innate body can be achieved.
Therefore, this realm is also known as metamorphosis.
Ji Chen didn't know what level of exercise this dragon subjugation method was, but the ultimate purpose of this exercise was to condense the bloodline, build a true dragon physique, and compare the body of a mortal with a real dragon.
Therefore, he felt that this exercise should not be simple.
The pot on the fire was steaming, and the meat inside was already rotten, and the aroma was overflowing.
The temple gate was held up by a stick, blocking most of the cold wind, but there was still a trace of cold wind penetrating through the dilapidated cracks, blowing the flames from side to side.
"Congratulations to Master Xiucai for greatly increasing his cultivation."
When the official Zhao Bantou saw Ji Chen wake up, he first slapped him on the back.
Thousands of clothes are not worn, after all, tonight's net worth and life are pressed on Ji Chen. There's nothing wrong with currying favor.
Several other officials also congratulated them.
Ji Chen nodded.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and it seemed that it was going to snow, Ji Chen drank a bowl of broth, drank some spirits, and then leaned against the shrine and closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Several officials didn't dare to disturb, let alone sleep, and were always vigilant around to prevent monsters from appearing at a certain moment.
After about half a pillar of incense, Ji Chen, who had been closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, suddenly opened his eyes.
It's coming!
The monster appeared.
Ji Chen sensed a hint of danger, his body was a little cold, and his hairs stood on end. So he stood up directly and clenched the handle of the broken saber for the first time.
Breaking the army is the name he gave to this knife.
After cultivating the Dragon Descending Mind Method, Ji Chen's perception became much sharper, and with this acuity, he dodged several strange attacks.
It was precisely because of this that he dared to take on this demon slaying task.
The temple was terrible, without a trace of insects and birds.
Several officials also hurriedly stood up, pulled out a single knife with a brush, leaned their backs together, and were nervously guarded.
Ji Chen grabbed the hilt of the knife and ran the Dragon Descending Heart Method, condensing all the power in his body, and his blood and qi were boiling in his body.
In this world of treacherous worlds, black and white ink, you have to give your all in every battle, because you don't know if the enemy you are facing is a human or a god.
Ji Chen glanced at the mountain god next to him, he wanted to say a word about the mountain god's blessing, but when he thought that he had used people's heads as cushions before, he shouldn't have blessed himself in the future.
The cold wind poured in through the cracks in the wooden door, whistling non-stop.
Ji Chen could feel that the monster was just outside the door, and his momentum was slowly condensing.
The broken saber also seemed to feel Ji Chen's killing intent, his sharp edge was restrained, and he was dormant like an assassin, just waiting for the moment when the broken army was killed.
The cold wind, heartbeat, breathing, and killing intent disturbed Ji Chen's perception.
Ji Chen's momentum gradually increased, and so did the monsters outside, when the momentum of the two sides reached an extreme, Ji Chen moved.
With a knife that was all based on feeling, it slashed out with all his might, instantly splitting open the wooden temple door and slashing into the dark night outside.
The blade was lonely and cold, and the cold wind seemed to be split by this knife.
In the dark night, the sound of brocade being cut sounded.
Hit!
Ji Chen was overjoyed.
Two pieces of white brocade fell from the sky.
Ji Chen's complexion changed suddenly.
Fooled.
"What a brute!"
This is the brocade deliberately left by the monster, exuding a strong aura that attracts itself.
At this moment, the roof exploded, and a red figure fell along with the rubble.
It was a monster covered in red hair, and it was very fast.
Ji Chen changed color again, there was more than one monster, and the brocade outside the door was another weird.
"Roar!"
A low roar made Ji Chen's whole person fall directly into a drowsy.
The roar of this thing has a breathtaking effect.
This is a mental attack.
The first few people of Zhao Ban in the distance were even more unbearable, and they were directly frozen in place, stiff, and their faces were full of fear.
