In the back mountain of the West District, in a hidden cave.

The white mist on Fang Yan's body churned, and after a while, all the mist merged into his body. He opened his eyes, and his pupils were shining.

Clapping his hands and cleaning up the remaining hairs of the beast in his hand when it was absorbed, Fang Yan jumped up and punched a set of punches. This fist method is widely spread among the people and is used to strengthen the body, but at this moment, it was unfolded by Fang Yanshi, and I saw the fist wind rolling, stirring up a burst of dust.

......

"Ahem...... cough", Fang Yan coughed violently, his indifferent and chic image just now suddenly collapsed, and he smiled bitterly: "It's better to be more convergent, low-key, low-key." ”

After straightening his clothes, Fang Yan took out two books from his arms, which were "Three Chapters of Gathering Blood" and "Yanshu Tianjiao Gong".

The three chapters of blood gathering are the foundation of physical cultivation. There are a total of nine layers in the Blood Gathering Realm, and every three layers is a qualitative breakthrough, and the three chapters of Blood Gathering teach you how to make a breakthrough in detail.

However, there are no exercises provided in the three chapters of Gathering Blood, so if you want to cultivate and improve, you still have to have a book of exercises that are in line with you.

Qi and blood are strong, but like a flood, if your spring is very small, then it will not be able to play its full role. And the effect of the exercises is like a sharp prying, priing open the spring, so that one's own strength can be displayed to the greatest extent.

Fang Yan spread out the Yanshu Heavenly Jiao Gong and carefully wrote down the contents inside. After a while, he closed the book and closed his eyes.

In the body, streams of qi and blood flowed from the blood aperture like a stream. Fang Yan's mind moved, and those qi and blood suddenly changed direction, heading towards the designated meridian pulses, and began to establish a circulation.

......

After half a ring, Fang Yan opened his eyes, felt the cultivation in his body slowly climbing, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Before this exercise gathers blood at the fifth layer, it doesn't require too much Yan Dao cultivation, and my cultivation is just right. Fang Yan thought to himself.

"It seems that if you want to improve your cultivation quickly, you still need a lot of qi and blood. Fang Yan smacked his lips, a little regretful.

"It's a pity that the effect of the beast refining has obviously weakened a lot after I ascended to the first level of blood gathering. In this way, once I break through the second layer of blood gathering, I am afraid that it will be completely ineffective. ”

Fang Yan frowned slightly. This ability to absorb qi and blood is his biggest hole card, if he loses it, Fang Yan's cultivation speed can be said to be greatly reduced, plus his physique has not been strong, he will definitely be surpassed by cultivators of the same level.

......

"No, we have to find some stronger beasts to replenish, and let ourselves break through the second layer of blood gathering first. Fang Yan thought for a moment before turning around and leaving.

Walking in the woods, Fang Yan waved his right hand, his fingertips flashed red, and a small bag appeared in the air, which was a magic weapon for storage.

Fang Yan was very satisfied with this, this storage magic weapon was usually hidden in the space, as long as he spread out his cultivation, he could summon it, which was very convenient.

Touching the bag, Fang Yan took out a piece of parchment and slowly spread it out.

The location of the mountain behind the entire West End can be seen at a glance, and there are many markings on it, and a few places are painted red. This is a complete map of the back mountain.

This is Fang Yan's harvest in the past few months, large and small, all of them are the most dangerous places in the back mountain. At this moment, his gaze swept towards the three largest red circles. A moment later, Fang Yan flicked on one of the red circles. Fly towards your target.

......

The cultivation of the blood gathering layer was scattered, and Fang Yan could be described as walking like a fly. Half a pillar of incense, Fang Yan came to his destination.

It's a swamp, apparently unvisited for a long time, and it's overgrown with weeds. In the swamp pond, mud bubbles floated and slowly burst.

Taking a deep breath, Fang Yan slowly walked towards the swamp pool. This is one of the three most dangerous forbidden places that Fang Yan has identified after these days of observation.

The back mountain has been abandoned for a long time, and most of the people who usually come to the back mountain are miscellaneous or meditative practitioners, after all, this back mountain has neither aura nor resources, and who is idle and has nothing to do to hang out here.

Therefore, these forbidden places are naturally rarely set foot in by ordinary monks. But that doesn't mean it's not dangerous, these places are inhabited by more powerful beasts.

Fang Yan had seen with his own eyes that a hegemon-level beast let out an extremely terrible scream after entering this swamp pool, and never came out again.

While walking, Fang Yan was on full alert. A blood-colored aperture emerged from his right arm, and Fang Yan was ready to fight at any time.

......

There was silence all around, and you could even hear the bubbles in the pool bursting. Fang Yan moved forward step by step, his eyes staring around, his body tense.

"Poof......" Suddenly, Fang Yanhan's hair exploded, and a strong sense of crisis came. Subconsciously, he suddenly wanted to pounce.

"Whoosh!" On the side, a figure suddenly sprang out of the originally silent quagmire, the figure was like lightning, and instantly rushed to the place where Fang Yan was staying just now, if Fang Yan was just a slow beat, I am afraid that he would also die of a headshot now.

Fang Yan was shocked, if it weren't for the increase in his strength, along with the increase in his perception, he would definitely be killed in an instant just now. This feeling of escaping death made beads of sweat appear on Fang Yan's forehead.

After the body was stable, Fang Yan finally saw the appearance of the enemy attack. Calm as he is, he can't help but gasp.

It was a small, cramped crocodile, half the size of a regular crocodile. But the difference is that in addition to green, its body is densely covered with dark red lines. On his forehead, a dark red horn towered.

Looking at the crocodile, a name suddenly appeared in Fang Yan's mind,

"Demon beasts, fire demon crocodiles. ”

This is a demon beast that is recorded in the "Ancient Road News". It is rumored that this demon beast majored in the fire path, and when he became an adult, he could also cultivate the poison path.

And judging the fire demon crocodile to be a minor is based on its single horn. The horn of an adult fire demon crocodile is purple, while the horn of a juvenile fire demon crocodile is dark red. In this way, this fire demon crocodile should only be a juvenile.

However, even a juvenile fire demon crocodile has the strength to condense qi at the first or second level. Fang Yan never expected that there were real demon beasts living in the mountains behind this!!

I saw that the Fire Demon Crocodile's eyes were cold, and his eyes looked at Fang Yan with a strong killing intent. Apparently the failure of the sneak attack just now aroused its desire to hunt. I saw its body shrink, and it shot towards Fang Yan like a bow with open strings.

Fang Yan took a deep breath, and a strong battle intent erupted in his eyes. In the face of the monster's blow, he did not retreat but advanced, and punched out and collided with the monster.

With a roar, Fang Yan's body slid backwards, leaving a trail on the ground. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked solemn.

On the other side, the fire demon crocodile shook its head, revealing its fierce light. The Fire Demon Crocodile's defense was amazing, and Fang Yan's punch obviously didn't cause much damage to it. It roared and pounced again.

Fang Yan's complexion had already returned to calm. Although he cultivates by force, he is not the kind that only uses brute force. Instead, I prefer a calm analysis.

Seeing that his physical body could not defeat the fire demon crocodile, Fang Yan's eyes flashed, his right hand pinched the formula, pointed one point ahead, and recited the mantra at the same time.

"Gravitation. ”

It was one of the mantras that Fang Yan had obtained from the Gongfa Pavilion. After a few days of practice, although the success rate was not high, Fang Yan gradually figured out some tricks.

I saw that he was in full control. Originally, the figure of the fire demon crocodile, which had turned into a phantom, slammed into a sudden, and the figures overlapped instantly. But it was only for a moment, and the fire demon crocodile's body shook and returned to normal.

Fang Yan's face changed, and the gravitational technique failed. I saw that the Fire Demon Crocodile rushed in in an instant, slamming into Fang Yan's body.

Fang Yan's body was lifted away like a cannonball, hitting a tree, and with a "wow", a mouthful of blood shot out, sprinkled on the ground, staining the grass red.

There was no time to wipe it, Fang Yan rolled over and quickly rolled away. Behind him, a loud noise came, and a fireball almost grazed Fang Yan's back, scorching the big tree.

Fang Yan's expression was solemn, looking at the Fire Demon Crocodile that was still smoking in his mouth at this time. I was shocked.

"It's worthy of a demon beast, it's completely different from the half-demon tiger before, it's too powerful. ”

Fang Yan's right hand retracted into the cuff, and the Dao talisman given by Senior Brother Ming Weiding slid into his palm. This talisman can only be activated once, and it erupts with a blow comparable to the fifth layer of condensation. It can be said that it is hard to find and very precious. As a last resort, Fang Yan was reluctant to use it.

With a dip in his right hand, the storage magic weapon appeared. Under the flickering light, two black stones appeared in Fang Yan's hands. Fang Yan put it in his hands and rubbed it quickly.

Gradually, a little spark appeared, and Fang Yan hurriedly put two stones on the ground. After a few moments, the sparks gradually turned into sparks. Fang Yan's expression was solemn, his left hand was stretched out, and he chanted the mantra in his mouth.

Fire exorcism technique, another trick that Fang Yan got. But it never worked.

The fire demon crocodile's mouth opened, and a huge fireball flew out and flew towards Fang Yan. Seeing this, Fang Yan's speed of reciting the mantra suddenly accelerated, and he pointed at the flames violently.

"Fire Driven !!"

The flames shuddered, slammed off the ground, and slammed into the airballs of fire. The two sides bumped into each other and exploded in the air at the same time.

Seeing this, Fang Yan and the Fire Demon Crocodile were stunned. Fang Yan's eyes widened, obviously he didn't expect to succeed so easily.

"I didn't expect it to be so easy to control?!" Fang Yan was shocked. I have been practicing the gravitational technique for the past few days, but with little success, but this fire exorcism technique was completed in an instant.

The Fire Demon Crocodile was furious, and his body instantly shrank into a ball and rushed towards Fang Yan, trying to smash his opponent with his hard shell.

The light in Fang Yan's eyes flashed, and he hit the ground hard, and the two black stones instantly rose, and they were grabbed into his palms and rubbed quickly. Suddenly, another flame appeared.

This black stone was bought by Fang Yan from the trading market in the Western District. It took Fang Yan three animal skins, which could quickly generate flames by rubbing. Before the fifth layer of condensation, ordinary monks could not directly create flames, so this black stone was very important.

Fang Yan took a deep breath, his right hand was suddenly inserted into the flames, and the cultivation in his body was running rapidly.

"Ah!!" Fang Yan let out a loud sigh and took out his right hand, the flames as if they were attached to his hand. He turned his fist into a palm and struck the fire demon crocodile on the back.

There was a piercing grinding sound, and Fang Yan's palm collided with the back of the demon beast like metal.

Fang Yan felt a tingle in his hand, if it weren't for the flame partition, he would have been crippled a long time ago. With all his might, he slammed the fire demon crocodile to the ground.
