Chapter 35: Who Is More Cruel?
The night is as cold as water, and there is always a trace of loneliness in the silent beast forest, Qin He and Xiao Su'er found a huge ancient tree, and they are ready to spend the night on the tree tonight. In Qin He's opinion, this ancient tree has survived for an extremely long time, and the branches of the sky are constantly stretching around, and any one is half a zhang thick.
Qin He continued to climb up along the ancient tree, and after a while, he reached an extremely high position, Qin He stood on the branch of the ancient tree and looked around, although it was dark, it was quiet, and he didn't see anything wrong at all. Qin He's nervous expression couldn't help but relax a little, seeing that Senior Sister Xiao had already entered the state of cultivating immortals in the ancient books, Qin He didn't dare to slack off, and began to hurry up cultivating.
Sitting on a thick tree trunk, Qin He took out an egg-sized round item from his arms, although this round item is not big, but Qin He can feel the strong spiritual power of heaven and earth in it, this egg-like item is the demon pill that Qin He has obtained by killing demon beasts with Xiao Su'er in the past few days.
These days. The demon beasts killed by the two of them, there are more than a dozen, large and small, so there are more than a dozen demon pills obtained by the two, every night, Qin He and Xiao Su'er need to absorb the spiritual power in the demon pill, not only to increase their own cultivation, but also to prevent the demon beasts in the beast forest from eroding their minds, in addition, for Qin He, absorbing these demon pills has another effect, that is: Bigu!
Originally, Qin He thought that he could use the demon beasts he killed as food, but when Qin He absorbed the spiritual power in the first demon pill, he found that the demon pills of these demon beasts could not only prevent the fog in the beast forest from eroding the mind, but also play the effect of clearing the valley for himself.
Since entering the beast forest every night, Qin He has been cultivating hard, although the spiritual power in the eight qi mansions in his body has already reached a peak, but Qin He still has not stopped absorbing the spiritual power of heaven and earth, the reason why Qin He did this is not because he is too greedy, but he wants to let his eight qi mansions lay the most solid foundation, now, Qin He has the spiritual power of the eight qi mansions in his body under his continuous compression, and the spiritual power in each qi mansion in his body has become more abundant.
Now, the position of the Ninth Qi Mansion in Qin He's body is looming in his body, perhaps, it only takes one more opportunity to open the Ninth Qi Mansion. In addition to cultivating the Qi Mansion, Qin He did not slack off in the cultivation of the meridians in his body, Qin He found that in addition to breaking through the limits of his body to refine the meridians and introducing the spiritual power of heaven and earth into his body, he could also refine the meridians in his body. Maybe it was because his grandfather didn't know that he had a spiritual root before, so he didn't tell Qin He about using spiritual power to strengthen his body at first, but now, since Qin He discovered that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can refine the meridians, he naturally can't let it go, so in the process of cultivation, in addition to a part of the spiritual power being absorbed into the Qi Mansion, there is also a part of the spiritual power that is used by Qin He to refine the meridians.
In this way, Qin He was completely intoxicated with cultivation, and in the blink of an eye, the night passed. As the sun pierces through the darkness, a new day is ushered in. Qin He slowly opened his eyes, feeling the dew that suddenly fell on his body, Qin He stopped absorbing the aura of heaven and earth. Immediately, Qin He closed his eyes again, concentrating and calming, feeling the natural changes of heaven and earth.
From the time Qin He first started to cultivate, Xiao Lao asked Qin He to learn to feel nature, however, after such a long time, Qin He still didn't feel the state that Xiao Lao said, but Qin He didn't give up, these days, Qin He will do it every morning according to the method that Xiao Lao said before, although it has not had any effect, but it has become a habit of Qin He.
An hour later, the sky was already bright, Qin He opened his eyes again, and took a deep breath, Qin He only felt that his body was full of strength, and slowly stood up from the trunk, Qin He found that Senior Sister Xiao didn't know where to go, only to see Senior Sister Xiao's package still lying quietly on the trunk, maybe Senior Sister Xiao was going to deal with other things, Qin He smiled, jumped over, and jumped down from the tree.
A moment later, a slight sound of footsteps came from behind him, and Qin He turned to see that it was Senior Sister Xiao who had returned.
"Senior Sister Xiao, let's pack up and let's go."
After Qin He saw Xiao Su'er come back, he said with a smile.
Listening to Qin He's words, Xiao Su'er raised her jade hand, pulled the hair on her forehead, and nodded. But then, Xiao Su'er suddenly thought of something, flashed a pair of bright eyes, and said to Qin He:
"Senior brother, just now I went to the lake to wash, and suddenly I heard a violent sound not far away, I don't know if the demon beast in the beast forest has appeared again."
"Oh, loud noises?".
Hearing Senior Sister Xiao's words, a trace of doubt flashed in Qin He's heart, because Xiaohu was not far from Qin He, if Senior Sister Xiao heard a violent noise, then she should also be aware of it, but why didn't she hear any sound at all.
"Yes, even though the sound was short, I could hear it clearly, like some animal eating."
Xiao Su'er said as she carefully recalled the situation when she went to the small lake to wash just now, and she remembered that she had just washed her face when she heard a creaking sound behind her, as if some animal was chewing something. Xiao Su'er didn't dare to be careless, and then looked carefully towards the place where the sound came from, but she didn't find any gains, and even the previous voice was instantly inaudible.
"The beast forest is so big, anything can happen, as the saying goes, the early bird has worms, maybe it's a demon beast eating breakfast, junior sister, why don't we go and have a look."
Qin He suddenly said humorously, and then carried the two packages behind him, preparing to go to the place where Xiao Su'er said that the sound was made.
Hearing Qin He's words, Xiao Su'er only felt weird, but then smiled, turned around and walked towards the small lake. After a cup of tea, the two of them came to a small lake, the lake water was clear, the blue waves were rippling, Qin He couldn't help but want to jump into the lake and take a swim, but thinking that Senior Sister Xiao was still beside him, and he was currently looking for demon beasts, so he couldn't help but have a strong desire to swim in his heart.
"Senior brother, it's the sound that comes from there, but I've checked it before, but I haven't found anything."
Xiao Su'er pointed to a bush not far ahead, and whispered to Qin He.
"Oh, sister, let's take a look again."
Qin He sighed lightly, ready to go to investigate with Senior Sister Xiao again.
The two cautiously came to the bushes, Qin He looked towards the bushes, but he didn't find anything there.
"Senior brother, maybe I heard it wrong?"
The two looked at it for a few more moments, but still found nothing in the bushes.
Listening to Xiao Su'er's words, Qin He couldn't help frowning, Senior Sister Xiao was thoughtful, and it was obviously a little unlikely that she would hear it wrong, thinking of this, Qin He once again carefully observed the surrounding environment, trying to find some clues.
After another stick of incense, Qin He still didn't find anything there, so he was about to call Senior Sister Xiao to leave here.
"Senior sister, it seems that there are indeed no demon beasts here, let's get out of here."
"Hmm".
Hearing Qin He's words, Xiao Su'er glanced at the bushes again, then nodded, and prepared to leave with Qin He.
Taking a step, the two of them were ready to leave, however, as soon as Qin He raised his foot, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when he looked down, Qin He found that the ground under his feet suddenly became very soft.
"It's strange that when I first arrived, I didn't notice how the soil suddenly became soft."
Qin He's face was full of doubts, and he looked at the dirt under his feet and said.
Hearing Qin He's voice, Xiao Su'er also looked at it, however, before Xiao Su'er could see it clearly, she heard Qin He's voice coming.
"Senior sister is dangerous, get out of the way."
Hearing Qin He's shouting, Xiao Su'er instantly realized that something was wrong, and then her feet suddenly exerted force, and she instantly got out of the area under her feet.
"Poof"!
A dull sound came, and something suddenly burst out of the soft soil in an instant, fortunately Qin He found it in advance, otherwise he and Xiao Su'er would have been attacked.
"Slag, Ga".
As soon as this demon beast came out of the soil, it made a strange sound, Qin He followed the sound and saw that this thing was not too big, only two or three zhang long, shaped like a rabbit, with a head like a mouse, and small scales on its body. Not only that, this thing also has two pointed teeth on its mouth, and it seems to be extremely excited to see Qin He and Xiao Su'er constantly waving the forelimbs on its chest.
"Senior brother, during the time we entered the Beast Forest, all the demon beasts were extremely excited when they met us, and now I understand that they have been treating us as food."
Before coming to the beast forest, Xiao Lao said to Qin He and Xiao Su'er: When entering the beast forest, you must not be soft-hearted, in the eyes of demon beasts, human beings are just a delicious meal, for thousands of years, human beings have killed a lot of demon beasts, but demon beasts have also killed a large number of human beings, human beings eat demon beasts, demon beasts also eat human beings, the grievances between the two have been impossible to talk about, but now, it is impossible to distinguish who is right and who is wrong, who is good and who is bad.
Suddenly remembering her grandfather's words, Xiao Su'er suddenly felt a trace of indescribable emotion in her heart, in fact, she hates killing, but sometimes she has to do this, saying that monsters are fierce, but in fact, she thinks that human beings are even more ferocious
