Early the next morning, Zhou Xiaoba took down the "Red Spirit Cold Fruit" according to the method mentioned in the ancient books.

Then he tied up his body that had been living on the fork of the tree all night, and when his muscles and bones were loose, he stuffed the spirit fruit and ancient books into his waist together.

It is really the same as described in the book, the fruit does not leave the branches, the cold does not leak, not to mention the state of ensuring the growth of the spirit fruit on the tree within three days.

Lazily took a breath of cold air, he exerted all his strength, since he stepped into the martial arts last night, the muscles of his limbs have been bursting, and he couldn't wait to try it after holding it all night.

Rich power emanated from the limbs, and the limbs that felt unusually strong and half hugged the ancient trunk of the three-person width, slowly slid downward.

About half an hour, all the strength of his body was exhausted, Zhou Xiaoba scolded secretly, this is still more than half a distance from the ground, I thought it could be completely supported, but I didn't expect the effect of stepping into the martial arts is only like this.

At this moment, he lost the yin qi of the little snake, and his arms, cross-legged, and waist were very hot and stinging, and he was afraid that the blue and purple skin had begun to swell, so he hung in the air, motionless, for fear that one would not be able to contain it and fall directly.

After a few quarters of an hour's stay, not only did the body not recover, but it became more and more serious, and the feeling of delusion seemed to be born from within, and he couldn't use any strength at all, and his whole body was already falling down uncontrollably.

"It seems that it's time to use this young master's unique secret recipe. ”

Barely steady, he looked at his raised left hand, hesitated for a long time, and really couldn't bear the painful and numb "fairyland": "Big brother, bear with it, anyway, I can't stand it, sin and sin." ”

Syllable!

A slap was slapped on the ancient tree, and a thick voice sounded, and he glanced at his completely numb left hand, "You still hurt!"

Afterwards, his left hand really didn't know the pain, but with a warm current coming, dyeing a piece of ancient bark red, the feeling of breaking his left hand came, Zhou Xiaoba's face was pale, but the rest of his body, I don't know if it was stimulated or why, the pain was indeed a little less than before.

This method of self-harm is known from a book summarized by Xiong Zhao's confrontation with horse thieves when he was in business, commonly known as "one side has menstrual pain, endures humiliation and steals life." ”

That is, horse thieves are often encountered on the way to do business, some businessmen have nothing to do, two have no force, can only watch being robbed, and Xiong Zhao is every time he passes through the land of horse thieves, he directly offers a part of the materials, as a road protection fee, compared to the big head of these "thieves" The tribute is naturally cost-effective, and the horse thieves feel that it is worth it.

When he came to Zhou Xiaoba, although the methods were different, the essence was the same, for example, he extremely thought that as long as his left hand hurt ten times, other places would naturally not be painful.

Dare to think and dare to do has always been his style, even if it is self-harm, it is more important for him to stay alive.

Taking advantage of the reduced pain, Zhou Xiaobaqiang endured the friction of his left hand, quickly regained control, and slowly slid down.

............

The sun is more than half over, and the morning recedes.

There was a scream above the ancient tree, and a young man fell from the tree more than ten meters above the ground.

Below, Shanshan watched the young master's embarrassment fall, stepped back directly, and then mischievously put on an invisible appearance.

"Shanshan, you ......"

Zhou Xiaoba felt the breath of weakness all over his body, and even his words were suppressed by the rough air, so he simply lay down in the barren grass completely, and just let the pain subside.

After a while, Shanshan opened the haystack and sat down, groping back and forth with her playful little hands, and after making sure that there was no major problem, she saw Zhou Xiaoba's bloodstained left hand, a little naughty, "Young master, your hands are so fat!"

Although Shanshan said this, her eyes stayed on it without leaving an inch, and when he was not paying attention, she gently wiped it with her palm before she got up, "Young master, you have a good rest, I'll go get some food." ”

At this time, the little snake slipped down from Shanshan's shoulder, and its small body seemed to grow a little longer overnight, and it was entrenched around his waist back and forth.

"Little thing, don't pay attention to this fruit, I tell you, when you get to the capital, you rely on this thing......"

Zhou Xiaoba recovered a lot, his face was a little red, although his breath was unstable, but it was much less rough than before, and when he noticed the movement of the little snake, he couldn't help but warn.

The little snake seemed to understand what he meant, and sure enough, he no longer looked for the trace of the spirit fruit, and then crawled forward from his waistline, leaving a burst of cool air wherever he passed, and the faint pain in Zhou Xiaoba's body disappeared strangely.

............

Half an hour passed, Zhou Xiaoba stood up, feeling the breath full of vitality, as if he felt that there was something wrong, and stretched out a palm towards the little snake, "Come on, little black man!"

The little snake saw his outstretched palm, slowly climbed up, wrapped around it, and left after a while.

Zhou Xiaoba saw that the swelling of his left hand was slowly disappearing, and he couldn't help cheering in his heart, happily touched the little snake, and let it coil over his shoulder.

Except for some dry wounds all over the body, the rest of the swelling and black blue were all eliminated, thanks to the yin qi of the little snake, otherwise it would be difficult for these injuries to recover quickly.

"Young master, you're up!"

Shanshan, who was not far away, walked over with two bags, and the two of them replenished their functions and left here and set off.

"Let me tell you, Shanshan, now we are in the capital, there is no shortage of money to spend!"

Zhou Xiaoba patted his bulging waist, half of the branch was still tied to it, and his extremely confident face made Shanshan's eyes roll, "What's that?"

"This is a second-order spirit fruit, it will soon be a third-order, and there is enough spiritual energy in it, at least it can be sold for a good price of one hundred taels. ”

As he spoke, Zhou Xiaoba took out the spirit fruit, lifted the leaf wrapped on it, revealing a corner, and suddenly a small flame appeared, which made Shanshan feel a little incredible, and her eyes lit up, "Young master, are all spirit fruits that can shine?" Do you want us to go to the mountains to find some." ”

"Fool, how can the spirit fruit be so easy to get, besides, thanks to Xiao Heizi this time, not only did I step into the martial arts, but I also found such a spirit fruit. ”

Shanshan rubbed her little head, chewing on the jerky in her mouth, obviously used to the young master's unique fingers, "Of course, the more silver taels, the better, but the spirit fruit is so expensive, it should not only be difficult to find, but also very dangerous, even if we don't have money to spend, I won't let the young master find it, hehe." ”

"Of course, your young master's hand is a medal of martyrdom......"

............

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Xiaoba slowly explained the matter of his left hand.

"Young master, you're too ruthless!"

"Anyway, I don't have to eat with my left hand, besides, this is Lao Xiong's ancestral skill, and there are many more interesting things than my hand, do you want to know?"

Zhou Xiaoba said that he didn't want to mention anything about his left hand, but when it came to strange things on the tree, his eyes were slick and he hurriedly shared it with Shanshan.

"Young master, you are a true god, although you say that you don't need to eat with your left hand, but no one is like you. ”

Shanshan listened to what Zhou Xiaoba talked about along the way, and couldn't help but be very curious, for the flames and cold on the spirit fruit, Zhou Xiaoba also spoke very clearly, the main point was that the ancient tree interested her, and the young master could say that there were countless one hundred and one hundred and one fruits on it.
