Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Lone Wolf
When the python fell to the ground, Qiao Yuan, who was standing next to the python, sat directly on the ground, leaning back against the cold snake body, his brows were relaxed, the corners of his mouth were raised and he laughed, his eyes flashed with excitement, and his expression was relaxed and happy, as if he had broken through his cultivation.
The excitement in Qiao Yuan's heart has reached the extreme, although this battle only lasted for a stick of incense, it was extremely dangerous, and this was Qiao Yuan's first battle in the real sense.
Hunting the black bear before was naturally not counted, after all, the black bear only had some aura fluctuations on its body, and at most it was only one level of qi refining, and it was not a demon beast in the real sense, and it was almost difficult for Qiao Yuan to kill the black bear.
And to kill this python, it took a lot of effort, if it weren't for the python who just focused on Bai Yue at first, so that he could successfully sneak attack and get the first opportunity, coupled with his rich experience in fighting snakes, it would be unknown who would kill the deer in the end.
Qiao Yuan's right hand slapped on the snake scales, looking up at the sky, although he was extremely tired, his mood was very relaxed.
Suddenly, he heard a whimpering wolf howl, and then he remembered that the white moon was still at the top of the tree, and the little one must be hungry.
Qiao Yuan walked over, jumped onto the branch of the tree in two steps, and looked at Bai Yue in the tree hole with her head down, sticking out her tongue and constantly licking the side of her mouth, and from time to time she made a whimpering sound, her big eyes were dim, and she looked extremely pitiful.
As soon as he came to the edge of the tree hole, Bai Yue raised his head to look at him, opened his mouth and kept calling, and his eyes showed a flattering look.
Qiao Yuan smiled, touched its head, took out a piece of jerky from the storage bag and handed it over. Bai Yue bit the jerky, and was just about to bite it, when suddenly the big tree trembled, almost shaking him off the tree, and the next scene directly shocked him to the point of no return.
The mountains and forests shook, countless birds and beasts of prey became irritable in unison, countless birds and finches in the sky were startled, all kinds of small beasts were lying on the ground and trembling, and the branches and leaves of all the trees were scattered all over the ground, and these were just because of a roar.
Qiao Yuan couldn't tell what kind of demon beast this roar was coming from, but he felt an extremely strong spiritual power fluctuation from this roar, so strong that even if he didn't know how far away, his body was faintly trembling.
The shock and horror on his face was indescribable, and the first reaction in his mind after hearing the roar was to get out of here quickly, for no reason, just to get back to the safe route on the map, as if this was the only way to make him feel at ease.
As for Bai Yue, who was already frightened by this roar, she was prostrate in the tree hole, her claws covering her head, and her body was trembling, and she didn't care about the piece of jerky on the side of her mouth at all.
Qiao Yuan took Bai Yue out, jumped to the ground and put the corpse of the green python into the storage bag, then glanced at the one-foot-high cave, hesitated for a moment, but did not choose to enter the cave, but ran directly towards the way it came.
Although the aura in his body was almost exhausted, he still had physical strength, relying on his own physique to increase his speed to the fastest, and he ran out of fifty miles with a stick of incense.
During this period, he met many demon beasts who were frightened by the roar and panicked and overwhelmed, ignoring these demon beasts, Qiao Yuan seemed to be running for his life, and just wanted to return to the safe route as soon as possible.
But after that roar, there was no second sound in the forest, not even a louder movement, only the trembling roar of the little beast and the chirping of birds.
Qiao Yuan stopped, climbed to the top of the tallest tree nearby, carefully observed the surrounding situation, and found that there was nothing abnormal, so he sat on the branch and took a few breaths, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief.
After resting for a while, he got up and continued to hurry, after all, he was not yet on a safe route, and the spiritual power in his body was close to exhaustion, if something happened, he would have to sacrifice the rune treasure, which would be a bit more than worth the loss.
After a stick of incense, Qiao Yuan finally returned to the safe route, looked for a hidden place, climbed a tall tree, dug a hole in the trunk, put Bai Yue in, and then put some dried meat and water inside, and then closed his eyes and meditated.
Qiao Yuan held the fragment of Mixed Yuan Jade in his right hand and the spirit stone in his left hand, quickly absorbing the aura inside.
It was already dusk in the blink of an eye, Qiao Yuan slowly opened his eyes, his face showed a look of joy, the aura vortex in his dantian was getting bigger and bigger, and it was estimated that he would be able to break through to the fourth layer of qi refining in less than half a month.
Originally, there was at least a month before he could break through, but he didn't know why, after this battle, the demand for spiritual power in his body became much greater, so he absorbed more spiritual energy, and it took a whole day to replenish the spiritual energy in his body.
Qiao Yuan knew that this was an increase in cultivation, although there was no breakthrough, but today's one-day meditation was equivalent to half a month's meditation in normal times.
He stood up and exhaled a breath of turbidity, looked at the white moon in the tree hole, and found that it was sleeping, so he jumped directly to the ground, took out the body of the python from the storage bag, and carefully looked at how to use the corpse of the python.
Qiao Yuan fights snakes all year round, so he naturally knows that the snake's body is full of treasures, not to mention that this python is still a demon beast equivalent to a fourth-layer cultivator of qi refining, and its value is even higher, not to mention anything else, even snake gall and snake skin are also very valuable things.
He took out a knife from the storage bag and peeled off the snakeskin first, because the snakeskin was extremely hard and quite heavy, Qiao Yuan took a lot of effort to peel it off, but his face showed excitement.
He decided to make this snakeskin into a garment, which must be safe to wear, so he also condensed a wind blade to test the hardness of the snakeskin, although the wind blade also pierced the snakeskin, but it was not as easy as cutting gold.
Qiao Yuan put the snake skin into the storage bag, and then cut open its abdomen and took out the snake gall bladder and snake liver inside, and the snake heart was directly shattered by the wind blade.
He set up a large cauldron on the ground and stewed snake liver and snake meat into it. At this time, Bai Yue also woke up, Qiao Yuan hugged it down, took off the left eye of the python and gave it to eat, the snake eye has a bright effect, and Bai Yue has great benefits after eating it.
Half an hour later, the sky was completely dark, and only Qiao Yuan had a flickering fire in the entire mountain forest.
This is the first time Qiao Yuan has made a fire to cook something in the Henglin Mountains, he used to eat some dry food, and tried not to light a fire at night, so as not to attract the attention of other demon beasts, this time he also killed the python, and his confidence and confidence increased greatly, so he dared to act like this.
The snake soup had already been cooked, Qiao Yuan took out four bowls from the storage bag, and took out another jar of beast bone wine, which he begged Tie Mo for before leaving.
Qiao Yuan first filled two bowls of snake soup, and then poured two bowls of beast bone wine, but the wine was not full, only half of it was poured, he took out half a skull-sized snake gall bladder, pierced a small hole, poured the bile in it into the wine bowl, and then put the snake soup and wine bowl in front of Bai Yue, and said to it with a hearty smile.
"Bai Yue, you won't let you suffer if you follow me, and you will have your mouth in the future. ”
Bai Yue didn't listen to him at all, and directly stuck out his tongue and ate the snake soup, but Qiao Yuan touched its head, ignored its ignorance, and took a big sip of snake gall beast bone wine after speaking, the taste was indescribable, but seeing that his face was black and red, he drank another sip of snake soup, and it took a while to calm down the discoloration on his face.
"Bai Yue, taking a sip of this wine will be very good for you. ”
Qiao Yuan almost finished drinking the wine in the bowl, and Bai Yue hadn't drunk a sip of beast bone wine yet, Qiao Yuan reached out and lifted Bai Yue's chin, and said to it with a serious expression, regardless of whether it could understand it or not, he pushed its head to the edge of the wine bowl.
Bai Yue seemed to be able to understand what Qiao Yuan meant, stretched out her tongue and licked the wine in the wine bowl, and suddenly her tongue shrank, and she howled with a whimper, causing Qiao Yuan to laugh.
In the end, under his coercion and temptation, Bai Yue only drank two sips, and the rest was drunk by Qiao Yuan.
After drinking and eating, Qiao Yuan lay on the grass with his arms on his pillow, looking up at the branches and leaves above his head, wanting to see the moon and stars in the sky through the gaps in the branches, but the branches and leaves here were too dense to see the night sky at all.
Bai Yue was also well-fed, with a very soft white fur, lying on Qiao Yuan's arm, and looking up at the sky like Qiao Yuan, his appearance was very cute.
"Bai Yue, do you know?I have been away from Qingfeng Village for two months, I miss Qingfeng Village very much, I miss Grandpa Xiao, I miss Sister Qingxuan, I miss Brother Qingyun, I miss Uncle Tie, I miss Uncle Li, Uncle Wang, Aunt Zhang......
Qiao Yuan looked at the branches and leaves above his head, and he didn't know whether he was looking at the night sky hidden behind him, or looking at the Qingfeng Village in his heart, and said with a chuckle on his face.
Bai Yue was lying on his arm and heard Qiao Yuan's whisper, as if he knew that he was talking to himself, and immediately opened his mouth and howled twice in response.
Qiao Yuan heard Bai Yue's howl, and immediately laughed, stretched out his hand and rubbed its furry head, a trace of warmth in his heart.
He had seen the sadness and hatred in the eyes of the young wolf after the death of the she-wolf, and his heart was deeply touched.
From that moment on, he didn't intend to treat Bai Yue as a spirit animal, but as a friend, as if he saw his own shadow in the young wolf.
He couldn't fathom this feeling, but at that time, his heart trembled, and he suddenly sprouted this feeling, feeling like a lone wolf, and his deep eyes hid deep sadness and hatred!
"Roaring ............"
An earth-shattering roar suddenly interrupted Qiao Yuan's contemplation, and he only felt that the ground was shaking as if a peerless beast was rushing here.
Qiao Yuan immediately stood up from the ground, picked up Bai Yue and jumped to the top of the tallest tree nearby, regardless of the trembling of his heart, and the scene he saw made him stay there immediately, his mouth wide open, and his eyes were full of horror and shock.
