Chapter 23: Strength
When Zitong turned around, he was greeted by a huge leopard. And Zitong, who is familiar with "Hundred Beasts", immediately recognized that this was the shadow leopard.
It is recorded in the book that the Shadow Leopard, a speed-type demon beast, and an adult Shadow Leopard's speed burst can reach the fastest speed of a human division-level powerhouse, and its length can reach more than two meters. And the shadow leopard in front of Zitong in front of him was able to attack and descend when Zitong had just sensed the danger, which obviously had more than a hundred years of cultivation.
Zitong stared at the shadow leopard in the distance, assuming a defensive posture. Although this is a hundred-year-old demon beast, Zitong didn't have too much panic, and Zitong, who calmed down, also found that although the shadow leopard came suddenly, the threat to himself didn't seem to be as big as he imagined. Shadow Leopard, although extremely fast, but relatively, his defense will be much lower, especially the waist bone, which is the most vulnerable, but often the Shadow Leopard is very good at the waist, and it is difficult to have flaws.
Zitong slowly adjusted his breathing, his childhood experience and many years of being trapped in the cave, all of which developed his calm and unfazed character, he was afraid of being serious in everything, and the child who was serious was beheaded under him even by the giant python, not to mention such a century-old demon beast.
However, what made him dare not act rashly was the unconscious ball over there, he thought that he was not capable of fighting the speed of the shadow leopard, and if the ball was found by the shadow leopard, it would be really troublesome. Therefore, Zitong is pulling the shelf, one is to attract the attention of the shadow leopard, and the other is also thinking about a plan for both.
Just when Zitong was thinking of countermeasures, perhaps due to hunger, the Shadow Leopard couldn't help but make a move first, it roared, and its body turned into a black lightning bolt and went straight to Zitong.
Seeing the shadow leopard rushing towards him, Zitong not only did not worry, but a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. What I'm most afraid of is that it doesn't attack itself, after all, it throws a rat bogey, and the ball is still there, but since it's over, it's not a problem.
Zitong mentioned his true qi, and a dodge was unconsciously using the dragon body method, and his body dodged the attack of the shadow leopard at a strange angle, "Huh?" Zitong was a little surprised, his original body could not be so perfect, so he also had a palm technique in his hand to cooperate with the dodge, but the kung fu in his hand was useless at this time.
With a look of disbelief, Zitong used the Wandering Dragon Body again, "Huh!" I saw that his body actually had a big reversal at the waist, and he could avoid the steel whip-like tail that swept across the shadow leopard after an attack failed.
"Hey!" Zitong, who found that his body had softened, showed a contemplative look on his face, of course, Zitong, who was stuck in thought, did not resist, but had been using the dragon body technique to dodge the attack of the shadow leopard.
Whew!
The two figures kept chasing and dodging, the speed of the shadow leopard became faster and faster, and Zitong's body was becoming more and more skilled, far away, I saw two black shadows moving up and down, tossing and turning, and the strange thing was that except for some air tearing sounds, there was no sound of body contact.
At this time, the shadow leopard was also very depressed, it had grown so big, it had been cultivating for a hundred years, and the prey it chose was weaker than it, and with the advantage of speed, it was unpleasant. However, today, its first prey turned out to be so difficult, although it was not as fast as himself, but his ghost-like body, always at critical moments, his body dodged at an almost distorted angle, which made it very angry.
Suddenly, the shadow leopard stopped the attacking figure, jumped to the side, panting, and glared at Zitong angrily, but on the other hand, Zitong looked leisurely, and even showed a look of sudden realization on his face.
"I see!" Zitong said to himself, "I fused the demon spirit of the giant python and obtained some of its abilities, which made my body so soft, I just don't know if there are other abilities, I will have time to slowly discover it in the future!"
With this explanation, everything makes sense. And in the process of fighting and dodging with the shadow leopard, it is also the process of Zitong gradually adapting to his body, "Although there is no thousand-year ice pool to complete this exercise, but now I can be regarded as the first step in cultivating the dragon body method, looking at its power, it can stalemate with the shadow leopard, on par, then I also have a certain ability to save my life!" Zitong thought in his heart.
And after Zitong figured out such a thing, it was only a blink of an eye, and when he refocused on Shadow Leopard's body, it was the moment when Shadow Leopard retreated and glared at Zitong.
According to normal logic, the shadow leopard at this time should have retreated in the face of difficulties, but today's shadow leopard is still staring at the prey in its eyes, not that it does not want to leave, but that it has consumed a lot of physical strength, and if it does not replenish it, it has no strength to hunt other prey at all. In its opinion, although the human in front of it is very calm on the surface, it believes that this is a superficial phenomenon, after all, it has consumed so much strength, and if it wants to dodge without the slightest internal force, it will admit that it is dead.
Today, it really fell on the iron plate, you must know that after fusing the demon spirit, the amount of internal strength of the child has long been higher than that of a martial artist of the same level, not to mention that the Qingxuan Nine Articles he cultivated are still known for their strong internal strength. If according to the capacity of the internal force, the current Zitong at the peak of the division level can basically be compared to the first level of the great martial artist, but he has not broken through.
When Zitong's eyes fell on the shadow leopard again, he didn't wait for the shadow leopard to react, and immediately hit it with a punch without any fancy fancy, and when he just dodged, his internal strength was only half consumed, and when he found out the current state of the shadow leopard, he wanted to shake it hard and solve it quickly. There are many dreams at night, and the fight is long, so it is inevitable that it will not attract the attention of other demon beasts.
Roar!
Seeing Zitong's attack, the shadow leopard suddenly let out two loud roars, and also tried its best to crash into Zitong, but it didn't think that the human body could be compared to its own body. Once again, though, its idea was wrong.
"Boom!"
The moment the two figures met each other, they also flew upside down towards the way they came from in an instant, and the debris of the trees in the sky flew and the dust was even more raised.
"Huh?" The captain of the five-person team that was marching suddenly stopped and listened attentively, and someone next to him was just about to speak, and the captain waved his hand suddenly, and the person swallowed the words alive.
"Let's go!" discerning the direction from which the voice was coming from, he commanded, and flew up first, rushing into the distance, while the others also looked at each other and followed with their heads bowed.
Zitong, who was in the air, after unloading the impact, turned over, landed steadily, checked it, and there were no other injuries except for some numbness in his arms, and Zitong breathed a sigh of relief.
The dust gradually fell, revealing the very badly damaged earth, and looking along the route of the destruction, I saw a blood line gradually lower in the field of vision, Zitong carefully walked over step by step, and finally found the corpse of the shadow leopard that had no sound under a tree on the opposite side.
Zitong stepped forward to take a closer look, and found that its skull had been shattered, and the flesh and skin on its body had also been taken off in the process of sliding, and it was really dead and could not die again.
Reaching out and groping around the belly of the shadow leopard for a while, he took out an earthy yellow nedan, walked to the edge of the lake, cleaned it, and put it in the package, but when he turned around to look for the ball, he suddenly felt his shoulders sink, and a fluffy white figure fell on it.
"Ball Ball!"
The one who can make this action against him, it is estimated that the whole shijie is only Qiuqiu.
"Are you awake?" looked at Qiuqiu sideways, Zitong was also happy, and Qiuqiu seemed to understand his words, constantly grabbing his neck with his paws, and licking Zitong's cheeks with his tongue.
“haha!”
When this warm and familiar feeling hit again, Zitong couldn't help but laugh. Glancing at the corpse of the shadow leopard not far away, Zitong even flashed a trace of gratitude in his heart, the years in the cave made him not familiar with the strength of the martial artists outside, and this demon beast, at least proved that the demon beast of about a hundred years was not a big threat to himself. But the specific positioning, you still have to return to the warrior's shijie and slowly understand.
And when he thought of people, Zitong's excitement just gained was swept away, his body was murderous, and he looked up at the south, which used to be the place he loved the most, and it was the happiest place for his young self to return from catching snakes.
But now, it is a matter of people, and even in the past few years, whether the corpses of the people in the village have been buried or not, the children do not know. There are also parents, and a sister whose whereabouts are unknown......
Thinking of this, Zitong's originally sunny face was suddenly gloomy, but he also knew that if he wanted to take revenge, he must have strength, and he also had to understand Shijie outside, because he didn't even know who the enemy was. And the premise of all this is to first integrate into the warrior shijie, and then carry out an investigation.
Thinking about the haode child, after tying the backpack firmly to his body, he set off in the direction of the south, the former home.
A moment later, at the place where Zitong killed the shadow leopard, five figures appeared, probably because of the daytime, the air was a little hot, so these people all took off their night clothes from last night and returned to their original appearance.
The first thing that attracted attention was a delicate body in green gauze, a young woman with a bumpy and convex body. A green silk is scattered very casually, a long sword at the waist, and the white fingers are gently pressed on the hilt, giving people the first impression that while not losing the heroic spirit, it also adds a trace of lazy atmosphere.
And next to the woman is a tall figure, the face is like a crown of jade, the green jade hairpin on the head passes through the black hair, the same, it is also a green shirt, but the color is darker than the woman's, the white ribbon around the waist, a long sword is held in the left hand very casually, if it is not for the occasional flash of ruthlessness in the eyes, still a handsome man's bearing.
And the three people who are a little farther away are more ordinary, one person is very strong, and the muscles are tangled, but he has a simple expression, and after taking a look, he will always feel stupid. The two of Zuihou are twin brothers, their faces are nine out of nine, and their breath is not much different, if they are not really acquaintances, they will definitely not be able to tell the difference.
However, at this time, this seemingly very strange combination is very tacitly enclosed in an arc, so that everyone can take care of the other person in the shortest possible time, although not deliberately, but because of this, it will be seen that the tacit understanding of this team is terrible.
"Brother, the sound of the fight just now should be related to this shadow leopard!" the woman opened her mouth and said a nonsense sentence with a smile.
Everyone grinned, and the man also glanced at the girl dotingly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and replied, "Yes!"
"Looking at the tragic situation of the leopard, the person who did it is at least a great martial artist, otherwise he can't blow up the head of the shadow leopard with one punch, and looking at the traces on the ground, it is obvious that he is not afraid of the arrival of other people or demon beasts, otherwise he will not let the blood stains go, which shows that this person either has a clear purpose and leaves directly, or he is strong and strong, and he doesn't care about these at all. One of the twin brothers said after examining the body of Shadow Leopard.
"Hmm!" the captain replied, "Shengweak, you lead the way, follow the traces left by this person, and we will follow!"
"Good!" the man who was called the victorious and weak responded, got up and led the way, and the others followed.
