Chapter 13: The True Identity of the Man in Black
The situation within a hundred miles outside the city, Chu Ren had long been familiar with it through his clone.
With a strong physique and energy that far surpasses ordinary people. He avoided official roads and trekked through mountains and rivers.
Nearly an hour later, they came to the swampy lake where the clone was.
At this time, the clone had already dispersed the surrounding low-level demon beasts and was waiting for the body.
"Although it's all myself, I still think it's outrageous enough to see it with my own eyes."
Standing next to the three-meter snake-tailed snapping turtle, Chu Ren's body of more than one meter and eight meters is like a dwarf.
"In the past few days, the clone has continued to devour flesh and blood here, improving as much as possible."
Taking out a few black bags that had been prepared a long time ago, containing about two hundred catties of snake meat, Chu Ren returned the same way.
Although there is no danger near the swamp lake, there are still unknown risks associated with monsters and people.
He still hasn't figured out the relationship between the demon beast and the human race.
Although there are demon beasts like the Giant Serpent King who like to eat people, it seems that not all demon beasts are like this.
And in the only memory he had, the demon beast didn't seem to have taken the initiative to attack the Terran city.
Most of the patrol gates are also mainly dealing with weird tasks. Unless there are monsters harming people, there is basically no monster killing task.
However, the biggest reason that made Chu Ren cautious was that he was not sure whether the main body and the clone would be able to survive on their own if one of them died.
But if there is a slight possibility, he doesn't want the body and the clone to be together for a long time, and be put in danger by the pot.
Returning to the border city again, Chu Ren left behind a bag of snake meat, and most of the rest was buried in a hidden place outside the city.
Now that there are people in the city staring at him, it is impossible to swagger and take so many things back.
A bag of meat is also forty or fifty catties, even if you have the talent to devour, it is enough to eat for two days, and then take it after eating.
Back at home, Chu Ren cooked the meat and ate it to his heart's content.
The snake meat with a mid-level bone moult and a big demon bloodline felt like a furnace boiling after eating it.
Take advantage of this momentum and immediately practice the family hand-on method.
The flesh and blood of demon beasts contain powerful energy, which has an extremely obvious acceleration effect on the cultivation of martial artists.
Therefore, the price of demon beast flesh and blood is also very expensive.
However, the strength of demon beasts is generally stronger than that of martial artists, and few martial artists are so extravagant that they have been cultivating by eating demon beast meat.
Nearly two hours passed, the heat of the body gradually subsided, and the energy brought by the flesh and blood was completely absorbed.
[Family Tradition Mind Method Progress +12%, Current Progress: 29% on the third floor]
"It's more than twice as fast as normal cultivation progress. Seven days should be able to reach the top. ”
The highest level of the family inheritance heart method is only four layers, and after breaking through, it is estimated that his cultivation will reach the middle stage of Jingyuan.
At that time, lacking the support of the mental method, Chu Ren will enter a period of stagnation in his cultivation.
At that time, you can only rely on water grinding to slowly survive to the late stage of Jingyuan, which is also the status quo of Li Long and other green seal patrols.
Time passed.
"You said he came back not long after going out of the city these days?"
Zhang Zhutou looked at the patrolman who was watching.
After getting an affirmative answer from the other party, he slapped the case: "Call him to me!" ”
A moment later, Chu Ren was called in front of him.
"Has there been any progress in the investigation in the past few days?"
"There has been progress."
"Nonsense!"
Zhang Zhutou slapped the case, and the books on the case fell to the ground.
Chu Ren was puzzled: "What does Zhang Zhutou mean?" ”
"You've basically been in the city for the past few days, where did you get the progress, what progress do you want to talk about?"
Zhang Zhutou had a cold face and asked loudly.
"It's hard to make a conclusion now, and seven days have not passed, why should Zhang Zhutou be anxious?"
Chu Ren was not in a hurry, he arched his hand, and always had a smile on his face.
"This is the first task for you to be promoted to patrol, if you slack off, don't blame me for deducting your contributions."
"Get out!"
The door of the headcatcher room was not closed, and Zhang Zhutou scolded loudly, which attracted many patrols and catchers outside the door to look over.
Arching his hand, Chu Ren turned around and walked out of the head-catching room.
"Lao Deng, if you want to me in this way, it's too simple for me to think. I don't think you can endure it for seven days! ”
went straight back to the Li family's room, so he didn't take Zhang Zhutou's words seriously.
If you really run to investigate honestly, then you don't know whether you are alive or dead.
As long as he runs around, he will be cultivating in the city, and he must not be the first to be anxious.
Seven days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Early in the morning, Li Long followed Gu Qiankun and left the border city.
Standing in front of the city gate in the crowd of onlookers, Chu Ren looked at Gu Qiankun and his group with his true eyes.
Gu Qiankun, in the early stage of quenching, has a physique of 78 and no obvious defects.
The maid in red and the maid in blue are both in the late stage of Jingyuan, with a physique of about 34 and no obvious defects.
The eight sedan chair men are all around the middle of the Jingyuan period.
"In the early stage of the same quenching, Gu Qiankun's physique was fifteen years taller than Zhang Zhutou, and he was worthy of being the second generation of martial arts. But ......"
"There is no hidden master, only he is a Quenching Body Realm martial artist, dare to swagger so much?"
Chu Ren narrowed his eyes and turned to leave.
Li Long left, and it no longer made sense to live in the Li family's wing.
He returned to his small courtyard.
After cooking twenty catties of snake meat, he began to cultivate.
An hour passed, and Chu Ren's body was shaken, and his breath soared.
"It's ...... in the middle of the Jing Yuan"
The breakthrough of the family heirloom method drives the cultivation and makes breakthroughs.
Wrap up and open the panel information.
[Ontology: Chu Ren]
[Realm: Middle Essence Stage]
[Energy: 93 (New +10)]
[Physique: 90 (New +7)]
[Divine Soul: 83 (New +4)]
[Exercises: Family Knife Method (Dacheng 65%), Family Tradition Heart Method (Fourth Layer)]
"The improvement of the Jingyuan Realm on the physique is indeed small, but my current physique should be almost the same as the late stage of quenching."
"If it is stacked with 30% of the snake song talent, and the physique is 117, even in the late stage of quenching, it can be compared!"
Chu Ren was full of confidence.
The double improvement of the family inheritance method and realm also adds 7 points of physique, but it adds more energy.
As for the Divine Soul, even less is added. It's starting to fall behind the other two attributes.
The higher the spirit, the smaller the bottleneck, this is already a very clear thing.
If it weren't for the fact that the divine soul had greatly improved in the evolution of the clone, it would far surpass the Jingyuan Realm. It was impossible for his mind to break through so easily.
"Now that the mental method has been practiced, the most important thing in the follow-up is to get a mental method for entering the product."
"It's time to take the next step."
Chu Ren stood up, walked to the courtyard, picked up the shovel that had been prepared a long time ago, and began to dig a pit.
This digging dug from day to evening, and then he piled the excavated soil in baskets in the corners of the wall.
Soon, the moon was in the treetops, and night was coming.
The yard was cleaned up, and the entrance to the hole in the courtyard was simply covered and slightly covered.
"Now it's up to you to see if you come."
Chu Ren held the saber in his arms, returned to the room and sat down, closing his eyes and resting.
Time passed little by little, and around two o'clock in the morning, there was a slight movement in the courtyard.
Chu Ren opened his eyes and opened the door.
"Zhang Zhutou, they are all acquaintances, why bother wearing masks?"
Looking at the black-clothed masked man standing in the courtyard, his face was calm.
"Oh? Why are you so sure I'm Zhang Zhutou? ”
This time the man in black finally spoke, his voice sharp, a deliberate falsetto.
"You don't think that after your right arm is injured, you can dispel my suspicions by deliberately hitting a set of knife techniques in public, right?"
Chu Ren showed disdain: "You call taking off your pants and farting, it's too much." ”
"Interesting analogy."
The man in black ripped off his mask, revealing a familiar face, which was Zhang Catcher.
"Can you tell me, what is Gu Qiankun's reason for taking the lives of my father and son?"
Chu Ren was not surprised, he had never doubted others from the beginning to the end.
Zhang Zhutou was a little surprised: "Your father didn't tell you the reason?" Then how did you guess that it was Gu Gongzi? ”
"Your acting skills are so clumsy. Or is it because you eat me, so you don't hide it at all? ”
"Temporarily install Gu Renjie, and then use the barbarians to force me to come to power and fight to the death through the war of granting seals."
Chu Ren smiled: "Although it is clumsy, if I don't have any strength, I will really die on stage." ”
"I can see it thoroughly! You're a lot smarter than your dad, but that won't save your life. ”
At this time, Zhang Zhutou was still cautious and did not answer Chu Ren's question.
He changed his words: "I'm curious, what makes you so calm?" ”
"You secretly dug a pit in the courtyard, did you keep it for yourself after you died?"
He glanced at the mound in the corner of the wall, and then tapped his toes at the hollow floor beneath his feet.
Chu Ren: "Hiss! ”
"What do you mean?"
Zhang Zhutou didn't react.
