Volume 1 Citygate Chapter 21 Star Skin Bottleneck

Sunrise and sunset, a month is fleeting, in the mountains and forests next to Qingcun...

Hu Jian walked quickly between the mountains and forests, almost a few points faster than a month ago, and the obstacles under his feet or in front of him seemed to be no longer obstacles, but rather helped, following Xiaobai, who was running in front of him, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

The little white chirping figure ran in front of him, his face full of excitement, and in his hand he held a stone about his size, and sped forward through the trees

I saw a porcupine the size of a cow under the tree, covered in gray-black hair, with protruding fangs, and slender white thorns all over its body, running forward.

Suddenly, a glint flashed in Xiao Bai's eyes, his figure was stunned, his hands were raised high, and the stone came out of his hands and smashed towards the porcupine in front of him.

The porcupine was forced to make a sharp turn because of the valley in front of him, and his body was in the process of turning, and he was powerless to dodge, and the stone smashed straight on the porcupine's bulging nose.

With a muffled "bang", the porcupine rolled forward under inertia, blood gushed out, and it was left in the slightly open mouth along the nose, and the porcupine lying on the ground remained motionless.

When Xiaobai saw this, he let out a loud scream and danced with his hands, as if he was showing off like Hu Jian, sliding down the tree and running towards the porcupine on the ground.

Hu Jian showed a smile on his face, and quietly watched Xiaobai run towards the porcupine.

However, just as Xiaobai was about to approach the porcupine, Hu Jian's face suddenly changed, the eyelids of the porcupine on the ground moved slightly, and the closed eyes opened a slit.

A hint of anxiety flashed in Hu Jian's eyes, and he hurriedly chased after Xiaobai, shouting urgently, "Xiaobai, come back quickly." ”

And Xiaobai seemed to be very excited, ignored Hu Jian's words, used his hands and feet together, and still ran towards the porcupine, without noticing that the porcupine was pretending to be dead.

When Hu Jian saw this, his heart became even more anxious, and the dark energy under his feet was carried out, and his speed suddenly increased by several chips, and he shot towards Xiaobai.

At this time, the porcupine, which was about 2 meters away from the end of Xiaobai, suddenly stood up, his eyes flashed with crazy bloodlust, and his huge body shook, and the sharp thorns on his body exploded towards Xiaobai.

A large piece of sharp thorns was densely packed like a gillnet, and the speed was fast, and it went towards Xiao Bai, and it was in front of Xiao Bai in an instant.

Xiao Bai's eyes were full of horror, and the sharp thorns were dense, completely covering it inside, there was no room to dodge at all, and he was so frightened that he simply covered his eyes.

Hu Jian's figure suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Bai, his arm blocking his eyes, and at the same time, a whip leg on his foot whipped towards the head of the impacting porcupine.

With the sound of "click" bone cracking, the porcupine's head was dented, blood gushed out, and its body fell to the left under Hu Jian's huge force.

But the sharp thorns had already stabbed Hu Jian's body at this time, and the trees beside him were naturally not spared, and nearly half of the white sharp thorns were deeply submerged in the trunk.

Xiaobai opened his eyes, immediately understood what was happening, and hurriedly climbed towards Hu Jian, looking at the sharp thorns all over Hu Jian's body, his eyes were anxious, scratching his ears and cheeks, and his mouth was even more squeaky.

"Now I know I'm in a hurry, and I don't know how to be careful. Hu Jian looked at the anxious look of Xiaobai on his shoulder, and said with a smile.

Seeing this, Xiao Bai squeaked sharply in his mouth, touched the sharp thorns on Hu Jian's clothes, and showed an anthropomorphic look of worry in his eyes.

"It's okay, don't scream. Hu Jian looked at Xiao Bai's anxious appearance, pulled out the sharp thorns on the clothes on his right arm, and lifted the skin under the sleeves, and there was no blur of flesh and blood as expected, only dense red dots.

When Xiaobai saw this, he was surprised and seemed to be relieved at the same time, his mouth opened wide, two rows of white teeth were connected to the red gums, and he was smiling with a roar in his mouth, and he was very happy...

In just 30 days, the strength in his hands has increased by 700 catties, which is worth the previous year's cultivation, and now Hu Jian is already a warrior with a primary strength, and his strength has reached more than 1,000 catties.

And Zhang Guang was also surprised by Hu Jian's soaring strength every day, and repeatedly convinced that Hu Jian did not eat any genius treasures, and the explanation given was that Hu Jian had a trace of legendary demon blood, which was similar to some demon blood families on the mainland, and Hu Jian, who was worried about how to explain, followed Zhang Guang's statement and borrowed the pole to go uphill.

But it's not that Hu Jian doesn't want to say it, but he can't say it at all, every time he wants to say it, Hu Jian's head is a tingling pain, and he can't say a word no matter how much his lips move, he vaguely guesses that it is the reason for the power of the Ape Warrior Holy Soul in his mind, and Ape Wu obviously has other intentions in leaving the Holy Soul.

Now in actual combat, he has been able to deal with it quite calmly in the face of Zhang Guangwu's intermediate-level speed and strength, although he is still mainly defensive and dodge, but he has found the gap to send out a sharp attack, which is still not the case of using dark energy.

And Zhang Guang has been going out for a few days recently, every time Hu Jian asks, Zhang Guang will say that he will know after a while, Hu Jian did not ask more, and concentrated on improving his strength, in his opinion, Zhang Guang does not say the truth of nature and does not say, becoming stronger is the most urgent thing at the moment.

Although the cultivation of dark energy still did not break through to the intermediate level, Hu Jian's understanding of dark energy was a little deeper, and he felt that it was like a layer of window paper, which could be felt unreachable, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

As for the daily cultivation of the Spirit Swallowing Technique, Hu Jian was also quite excited, the increase in strength was visible, and at the same time, the toughness of the skin was greatly improved, Zhang Guang's fist hit his body, only a little painful, but it was not as blue and purple as before, now even if he was beaten by Zhang Guangfat, there was no big problem, and the liquid medicine did not need to be soaked.

However, the thing that worried Hu Jian the most appeared, the cultivation of the star skin had begun to approach the bottleneck, the skin began to tend to be saturated, and the amount of star power absorbed every day began to decrease.

And Xiaobai here, every day will appear on time in Ballu Mountain to practice with Hu Jian, Xiaobai, who is a demon beast, cultivates much faster than Hu Jian, although his body is small, but his strength also has about the last four hundred catties, and with the growth of strength, Xiaobai's eyes are becoming more and more agile, and even light gold begins to appear in the pupils of his eyes, so Hu Jian simply let Xiaobai come hunting every day, and he follows aside, all of which should be exercised Xiaobai.

However, he didn't expect that the sharp thorn couldn't even pierce his own skin, and he couldn't help but think a little higher in his heart about the method of demon cultivation of the Spirit Devouring Technique, although it was an ordinary beast, but he had only cultivated for a month, and he hadn't even reached the realm of Xiaocheng, if he cultivated to Dacheng or even consummation, the defense of the star skin didn't know how terrifying it would be, according to the Spirit Devouring Formula, it was estimated that the human level divine soldiers who could easily cut through the defense of the third-level demon beast would not be able to pierce it.

Hu Jian carried the porcupine on his shoulder, took Xiaobai, and walked towards Qingcun with one person, one monkey and one pig...

At the entrance of the village, more than a dozen children dressed in coarse cloth still held a wooden basin in their hands, their eyes were looking directly at the dense forest in the southwest direction, and there was a faint look of expectation in their eyes...

On the afternoon dinner table, a huge pork leg of nearly 1 meter is placed horizontally on the dining table, and there is a faint grease dripping on the roasted golden pork leg, full of meat fragrance fills the whole room, Xiaobai is holding the pig's butt at this time and gnawing on the side, looking cute, but the eating appearance is ferocious, which makes people feel very delicious when they look at it.

Hu Jian shuddered when he saw this, and seemed to think that the idea that the butt was delicious was too ridiculous, there was not much meat at home before, and the only thing left was chicken, and after hunting, he found out that Xiaobai loved to eat any ass, and this habit made Hu Jian embarrassed for a while.

At this time, Zhang Guang on the opposite side seemed to be full, stood up and walked towards the house, and when he turned around, he was wearing a hat on his head.

"You eat slowly, I'll be back in a few days. Zhang Guang said and walked towards the door.

"Grandpa Zhang, wait a minute" Hu Jian said busily at this time.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Guang looked at Hu Jian strangely.

"I... I would like to leave for Eastgate in a few days. Hu Jian was silent for a moment, and then spoke, but his voice was really not neutral, and it was completely a consultative tone.

"Want to kill demon beasts and take beast pills to cultivate?" Zhang Guang asked.

"Hmm. "Hu Jian's cultivation of star skin is close to Xiaocheng now, he is not a demon beast after all, and the demon veins on his body are too thin, and his physical body is strong to feed the demon veins, which is not such a simple thing.

The Spirit Swallowing Recipe records that if you encounter a bottleneck, you need to find a demon grass such as a star orchid or mercury flower, and break through from the inside with the help of the huge star power in the demon grass, or absorb the demon veins of apes. This is also the early stage, the middle stage, and the late stage is estimated to be the same, although this exercise is powerful, but there are many bottlenecks, especially Hu Jian is a human race, it is obviously impossible to stay in Qingcun, Hu Jian hesitated in his heart for a few days, and only today made up his mind to say it.

"Hmph, I've already thought about it for you, you and I have been going out to play recently. Zhang Guang smiled slightly, "I've prepared everything for you, and I promise that I won't delay your next promotion." ”

"No, this is a second-order primary beast pill, this is an intermediate level, this is an advanced one, and this one is a third-order primary one. As he spoke, Zhang Guang took out a bunch of bottles from his arms, and introduced them to Hu Jian one by one with a smile.

When Hu Jian saw this, he immediately understood the reason why Zhang Guang had been going out a lot recently, his heart warmed, and his heart began to feel embarrassed, these beast blood pills were treasures to others, but for him, they would only pollute the power of the bloodline.

"If it weren't for the fact that you've been growing stronger lately, I would have given it to you a long time ago. Zhang Guang's eyebrows were raised, very proud.

"Grandpa Zhang, I still want to go out. Hu Jian paused, looked at Zhang Guang's white hair, and still insisted.

One of his is because of the bottleneck, and more importantly, he can't explain it, but even if he can say it, Hu Jian won't do it, and in the records of the ape martial arts, many of the locations of the demon grass are guarded by powerful demon beasts, he doesn't want Zhang Guang to take risks, and he can rely on the breath trick to wait until the demon beasts hunt to steal.

"You are only a junior warrior now, and the danger outside is abnormal, what are you doing in such a hurry, listen to me, when you reach the junior level of martial arts, you go out again, there are these beast blood pills..." A trace of worry flashed in Zhang Guang's eyes, but when he said it, he suddenly stopped, it would take at least five years to have a beast blood pill, and Hu Jian only had two years.

"Ask Grandpa Zhang to do it!" Hu Jian knelt directly on the ground.

"You.... You can go out if you want, you can make twenty moves on the strength of my junior general, and I will let you out. Zhang Guang thought of Hu Zhong's explanation, it was a helpless move to help Hu Jian refine his body, and now let Hu Jian go to the beast forest to take risks, he couldn't accept it for a while.

"Grandpa Zhang..."When Hu Jian heard this, he knew that this difficulty was abnormal, and hurriedly spoke.

"I don't have to be secretive. Zhang Guang interrupted directly.

"Good!"
