prey
The Hengduan Great Forest stretches for thousands of miles, lush and green, with many mountains and valleys, as well as all kinds of underworld beasts, which are full of opportunities and dangers for cultivators.
Shi Jiu's goal was clear, to hunt ordinary animals or lowest-level underworld beasts as food for the next few days. At this moment, Shi Jiu, who was walking in the forest, was patrolling everything around him, and at the same time thinking about how to hunt prey. In this way, after shuttling in the jungle for most of the morning, Shi Jiu finally saw his first prey, a pheasant.
"Okay, it's you." Looking at the pheasant in front of him, Shi Jiu didn't pounce immediately, he knew that he had no experience in catching pheasants with his bare hands, and the only thing that could help was the dagger that Brother Li gave him, this dagger had helped him kill a howling moon wolf before.
Without alarming the pheasant, Shi Jiu quietly leaned forward and hid behind a big tree, and then quietly raised the dagger in his hand and secretly exercised his skills. At the moment when the pheasant raised his head, Shi Jiu quickly shot out the dagger that had completed its concentration. With a scream, the dagger was in the body of the pheasant, seeing this, Shi Jiu hurriedly pounced, and then grabbed the pheasant that flapped its wings.
"Yes, today's dinner is over." Shi Jiu felt a burst of excitement in his heart, after all, this was the first prey he had caught with his own hands.
"I wonder if the blood of this pheasant can attract the beast?" Shi Jiu looked at the pheasant in his hand, thinking of Brother Li before, and they used the blood of the black-lipped deer to attract the hyena pig.
Although he was not sure, Shi Jiu still decided to give it a try. So Shi Jiu found a slightly smaller open space, cut the neck of the pheasant with a dagger, and after the blood was drained, he put the pheasant on the bloody ground, and then climbed a big tree next to the mountain, waiting for the arrival of the prey.
"I hope I don't waste my pheasant." Looking at the pheasant on the ground, Shi Jiu said silently in his heart.
While waiting for the prey, Shi Jiu wasted no time and began to run the exercises to attract the underworld elements around him.
As the time passed minute by minute, Shi Jiu, who had been in the tree for most of the afternoon, saw that there was no prey coming to the door, and his heart was a little retreating. Just as Shi Jiu had the idea of going back, there was movement in the woods in front of him, and suddenly a hyena pig came out.
After seeing that it was a hyena pig, Shi Jiu suddenly became excited, "God treats me well, and still let me wait for the prey." After the excitement, Shi Jiu began to think about how to kill this big meal delivered to the door.
Seeing this, after observing for a while, the hyena pig slowly approached the pheasant on the ground, and when it was about to lower its head and bite the pheasant's neck, Shi Jiu, who saw the opportunity, immediately jumped down from the tree, and then stabbed the hyena pig's head with a dagger.
After feeling the sharp pain in his head, the hyena screamed in a panic and struggled to run deep into the dense forest. However, Shi Jiu didn't give it a chance, and after tossing the dagger in the head of the hyena pig, the hyena pig fell to the ground with a bang. Looking at the hyena pig that fell to the ground, Shi Jiu was excited.
After the excitement, Shi Jiu began to search for the Underworld, after all, the Underworld Core was the most valuable thing on the Underworld Beast. After rummaging through it, he didn't find it, and Shi Jiu was not disappointed, he knew that the chance of a low-level hyena pig producing a pluto core was very small. However, Shi Jiu was still very happy to be able to kill the hyena pig alone.
After handling the hyena pig a little, Shi Jiu carried today's prey. Although the hyena pig weighed more than 100 kilograms, Shi Jiu, who had stepped into the path of cultivation, was not too heavy to carry on his back, and it was obvious that Shi Jiu, who was already in the Heroic Realm, had a lot of improvement in all aspects of his body.
Shi Jiu found a small stream, and then began to peel and bone, preparing for tonight's feast. After several attempts to drill wood for fire, a small flame finally lit up. After carefully growing the fire, Shi Jiu skewered the pork with sharpened branches, and then set it on the branches on both sides of the fire, and slowly roasted it.
"It's a pity that there is no seasoning." Shi Jiu felt a little regretful, but the smell of meat wafting from this time attracted him again. Nearly in the evening, Shi Jiu finally cooked tonight's delicious food, then cut off a slice with a dagger, put it in his mouth and chewed it.
"It tastes pretty good." Shi Jiu commented on himself while chewing. After eating nearly a quarter of the barbecue, Shi Jiu burped contentedly, then extinguished the fire and walked towards the cave with the rest of the food.
After returning to the cave, Shi Jiu did not immediately fall asleep, but opened the Lushan Classic, he wanted to find some secret skills or moves. The Lushan Dictionary is a book of exercises, although there are also some explanations of moves, but it is too simple, after all, fighting with people, exercises are the foundation, and moves such as boxing are the focus. After turning to the last page, Shi Jiu finally found the secret technique he wanted--Lushan Folding Plum Hand.
It is a special meridian that allows the underworld to flow through the arm, and uses the joints and wrists to exert force in close combat, refining to the extreme, ignoring the opponent's body defenses. However, if you want to cultivate this secret technique, your own strength must reach the third level of Qi Realm, because only by reaching the Qi Realm can you open the special meridians in your arm.
Looking at the introduction of Lushan Folding Plum Hands, Shi Jiu couldn't help but think of a martial art in a TV series Tianlong Babu that he had watched in his previous life-Tianshan Folding Plum Hands. The names are similar, and the uses are similar.
"It's a pity that you can't cultivate until you reach the Qi Spirit Realm, otherwise you'll hurt your arm." Although he couldn't cultivate for the time being, Shi Jiu still memorized this secret technique.
"After you leave here, you have to find a way to get some secret moves, otherwise you will suffer a lot from fighting against others." Shi Jiu said secretly in his heart.
The next day, Shi Jiu didn't go out to hunt again, because yesterday's food could still last for two days. Since he had just stepped into the Heroic Realm, his realm was still unstable, and Shi Jiu was still cultivating the Heroic Mountain Classic, and he wanted to stabilize his current realm. On the fourth day, after eating almost the food, Shi Jiu decided to go out hunting again, and after a little preparation, he walked towards the depths of the dense forest.
This time, Shi Jiu changed direction and walked along the creek through the forest. After changing directions, it seemed that his luck was better, and half an hour later, Shi Jiu saw something in the distance drinking water by the river. After getting a little closer, Shi Jiu looked at the creature in front of him. It is a tortoise-like animal with a carapace on its back and long hairs on its limbs. Although he didn't know what it was, Shi Jiu was still cautious, knowing that the lion fought the rabbit with all his strength.
Although Shi Jiu was already very careful, he still attracted the attention of the creature in front of him. Seeing Shi Jiu approaching, the turtle-shaped animal immediately stopped drinking, and then let out a low roar at Shi Jiu. Hearing this, which looked like a cow's cry, Shi Jiu couldn't help but laugh.
Shi Jiu's actions obviously angered the creature in front of him, and immediately after, the turtle-shaped animal rushed towards Shi Jiu, and at the same time, a column of water shot at Shi Jiu from its mouth. Looking at the angry "turtle", Shi Jiu immediately couldn't laugh, and after Kankan dodged the attack of the water column, the turtle-like animal also rushed to Shi Jiu's body.
Shi Jiu knew that he couldn't dodge, so he kicked its tortoise shell hard, hoping to kick the "turtle" away, but the expected picture did not appear, but was shocked by the thick tortoise shell and flew out. After landing, Shi Jiu did not rush to attack, but took advantage of his inattention to hide behind a big tree.
This is obviously a dark beast, and it can shake Shi Jiu, and it is very likely to be a second-level dark beast. When Shi Jiu was thinking about how to deal with the beast in front of him, the turtle-like beast had already walked to the big tree where Shi Jiu was hiding, but it didn't find Shi Jiu and still walked forward. As it was about to pass by the tree, Shi Jiu saw the opportunity and kicked it in the neck with a forceful kick.
This sudden kick knocked it to the ground.
Looking at the four-legged beast, Shi Jiu said fiercely: "As long as it is a turtle, I am afraid of this trick, although I don't know what you are, but I haven't run away." Immediately after, while the "turtle" beast had not yet recovered, Shi Jiu immediately stabbed its head with a dagger, and after a period of agitation, it completely stopped moving.
