Volume 2 Chapter 143 Monsters
The two of them kept heading east, and they didn't meet any cultivators along the way, which made Ma Xie breathe a sigh of relief, it seemed that Ni Lingshan and Kong Shujian did not find his whereabouts, but this did not make Ma Xie relax his vigilance, he disguised himself, glued a little beard, and went on the road with Yuan Wuji.
Yuan Wuji also turned into a well-behaved kitten in order not to let people discover his identity, hiding in Ma Xie's arms.
Ma Xie saw that the kitten that Yuan Wuji had turned into was vivid, so he asked Yuan Wuji why he was so awkward when he turned into a human form.
It turned out that Yuan Wuji's transformation technique was only rudimentary, and it could only become something about the same size as himself, and it had to be something that he was very familiar with.
Before meeting Ma Xie, although he had been living in the human world, he had not had too much direct contact with humans, so the humans he transformed could only be regarded as imaginary, and he could not grasp the subtle expressions and movements of humans.
"If I break through to the fourth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, I should be able to complete the transformation of the human race! And the duration will also increase, and the transformation technique is very spiritually demanding. Yuan Wuji explained.
This transformation technique is a spell that automatically appeared in his mind after he entered the first layer of the Qi Refining Realm, many alien beasts have such natural powers, they don't need to cultivate at all, they only need to grow to a certain number of years to have them.
Ma Xie is still very envious of such a talent, after all, in this way, there is no need for any sect to learn the exercises, and he just needs to grow up quietly.
"Anyway, although your natural supernatural powers are easy to use, but you don't have any combat power, is it because your race is not good at fighting?" Ma Xie asked.
Yuan Wuji has no way to answer this, but according to him, If this art of change is practiced to the end, it can exhaust the way of yin and yang changes, and all humans, beasts, spirits, mountain torrents, thunder and fire can be changed, and after the change, they can also have the ability to change the affairs they have changed, and they can even reverse yin and yang and return to heaven and sun.
Ma Xie stuck out his tongue, he knew that Yuan Wuji was not lying on this point, these were all messages that were automatically transmitted in his mind when Yuan Wuji first came into contact with this magical transformation technique.
Presumably, in that distant foreign land, there must be an elder of Yuan Wuji who is so proficient in the art of change, he sometimes becomes a demon god, sometimes he becomes a mountain and sea, without a trace, and there are thousands of changes!
Moreover, Ma Xie had a bold idea, since this change technique was so powerful, would a certain elder of Yuan Wuji turn into a human and walk on the Pangu Continent? After all, the human being that Yuan Wuji became was no different from an ordinary human on the outside.
There is another thing that makes Ma Xie very jealous, it turns out that Yuan Wuji's cultivation does not need the step of "soul breaking".
I don't know if it's just Yuan Wuji or all the alien beasts, their body structure is special, and the aura is like air to them, they can be captured by nature, and they can use it for their own use, so they don't have to break their souls like humans to feel the "aura".
"Alien beasts are really gifted! How do I feel that alien beasts are the chosen ones of this world? Human beings' cultivation methods seem to be against the heavens. Ma Xie thought.
Yuan Wuji also sighed: "Yes, alien beasts are born to cultivate, but human beings can always stand on the commanding heights of cultivation, otherwise why haven't alien beasts occupied the Pangu Continent for thousands of years? Moreover, there are so many dragon slayers who go to foreign lands to slaughter alien beasts, and it is always humans who have the upper hand." ”
These words are true, although there have always been alien beasts invading the Pangu Continent, but for so many years, the alien beasts have not taken advantage of the hands of humans, at least in Ma Xie's opinion, the alien beasts that invaded the Pangea Continent almost do not need the dragon slayer to make a move, on the contrary, the dragon slayer can freely enter and exit the foreign land, and it is not difficult to imagine how they are in it.
However, it is said that the exotic land is very large, and the dragon slayer cannot survive in it for a long time, so he has not yet completed the exploration of the exotic land, and Ma Xie suddenly felt that this seemed to be a kind of protection for the foreign land.
"Actually, if you want me to say, it should be that we alien beasts are afraid of you humans. Yuan Wuji said: "From the moment we are born, we actually determine the height of our future cultivation, which is what the old Taoist priest once said. For example, a strange beast, he naturally grew to maturity, and he could only be at the sixth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, so if there was no help from some innate elixir, then he would never be able to break through, not just this strange beast, but the entire population. You human beings are different, those gifted cultivators among you can practice endlessly, not knowing where the end is, and we alien beasts, if we don't have those high-level bloodlines, are destined to be trampled under the feet of other alien beasts!"
"I always feel like there's nothing perfect in the world, don't you say? Ma Xie said to Yuan Wuji.
Yuan Wuji nodded: "Yes, it seems that everything has its own limitations, advantages and disadvantages, but as for perfection, I have heard the old Taoist say that there is only one thing in this world that is perfect." ”
"What's that?"
"Heavenly Dao ......," Yuan Wuji said.
Both of them felt that this answer seemed to be correct, but what was the so-called "Heavenly Dao"? No one could say.
At this moment, Yuan Wuji suddenly pricked up his ears, he got out of Ma Xie's arms, jumped to the side, and then transformed into his own body.
It turned out to be a treasure hunt rat running back.
After Yuan Wuji and the treasure hunting rat had some exchanges, he happily said to Ma Xie: "It's developed! My brother said that there is a strange grass a hundred miles away from here, which is about to mature, if we can pick this strange grass, we should be able to go to Panlong Town to buy it!"
Ma Xie also sat up, and said, "So lucky, but I have to treat your brother well, so let's go out and hunt a deer now, and we will open meat here at night, and we will set off tomorrow to collect medicine!"
Hearing this, Yuan Wuji came to his senses, and he has always maintained an amazing enthusiasm for eating, although Ma Xie's cooking skills are not as good as Qi Nanfeng, but after all, he has lived with Qi Nanfeng for a while, and he has also secretly learned a few tricks, and he thinks that he already has five points of Master Qi's skills.
Even if it wasn't as perfect as Master Qi, it still captured Yuan Wuji's mouth. Ever since he left the Taoist temple, he realized that the most powerful people in this human society were not those high-ranking cultivators, but those amazing delicacies.
Yuan Wuji has been living in the dark, although there is no shortage of food every day, but he has not eaten a lot of delicious food, until one day "accidentally" ate the dishes made by Qi Nanfeng, only to know that there are still such delicacies in this world, but unfortunately when he went to patronize again, Qi Nanfeng was no longer there.
Ma Xie is also a face-saving person, he even boasted to Yuan Wuji that his barbecue is not weaker than Qi Nanfeng, but he has never had a chance to show it, and now is an excellent time for Yuan Wuji to take a good look at the cooking skills he has honed in the jungle since he was a child.
It's a pity that many things can't be learned by looking at them, Ma Xie and Yuan Wuji ate the charred venison and were silent.
"Brother Ma, I've always been relatively straightforward, what do you have to say, do you really know Master Qi?" Yuan Wuji took a few bites and began to say in a weird manner.
Ma Xie was right: "Of course, do you think I lied to you about Nanfeng?"
"This is Master Qi's five-point skill?I'm skeptical!Can these things also be called food?" Yuan Wuji was not polite at all.
Ma Xie ignored him and chewed his food in a big gulp, although the taste was not very good, but after all, it was cooked, and the taste was not bad.
It was getting late, and a man and a beast were eating and chatting around the fire, but they didn't notice that a monster in animal skin was slowly approaching in the dark.
The monster had already smelled the smell of the meat of Ma Xie Venison, and had been wandering in the woods around Ma Xie and Yuan Wuji for a long time, as if he had been weighing the risk of snatching food.
But seeing the two of them and a few big rats so stormy, an adult deer was almost eaten by them, and finally couldn't help it, and pounced out from behind Ma Xie, aiming at the deer leg in Ma Xie's hand.
Ma Xie didn't pay attention to it, but under Yuan Wuji's hints, Ma Xie also found that there was something hidden behind him, and he had been waiting here for a long time, and it seemed that he wanted to sneak attack.
Feeling a gust of wind behind him, Ma Xie hid on the side of his body, but the venison in his hand was snatched by the monster.
When the monster had succeeded, it ran away as if it had gone mad, ignoring the fire in front of it.
"Chase!" Yuan Wuji threw down the venison in his hand and chased after the monster, but was stopped by Ma Xie.
"Forget it, don't chase it. Ma Xie said calmly.
Yuan Wuji said: "Why don't you chase it, are you scared?"
Ma Xie shook his head and said, "It's not a monster, it seems to be a very hungry human. Just treat him to a meal! It's not a big deal, I'm full anyway. ”
It turned out that at the moment when the monster rushed into the firelight, Ma Xie saw clearly that it was not a monster, but a human face, but for some reason, it was wearing animal skins, and the cloak appeared here.
It's a pity that the long face was covered with mud, and Ma Xie didn't see the man's face clearly.
"You're really generous, maybe you're a savage, aren't you afraid of being attacked at night?" asked Yuan Wuji.
"Aren't there those brothers of yours......" Ma Xie said with a smile.
Yuan Wuji smiled awkwardly: "What brother...... In fact...... It's long gone......"
It turns out that the rats that Yuan Wuji's treasure hunting rat can control are fixed within a certain range, and they have to be responsible for providing food for those rats.
However, these Heavenly Horse Evil and Yuan Wuji have been moving forward with them, and those rats brought out of Tianwu City have begun to chaos after leaving their lair, and many of them have run away.
And the newly recruited rats, when they had not yet stabilized, the treasure hunting rats left with Yuan Wuji, and the supply of food was insufficient, so there was not much left of this rat army now.
This army of rats is very good at transmitting information, but in order to truly control them to spread around and form a guard, they must be fixed in one place for a long time in order to give full play to the power of the "Rat King".
However, Ma Xie was quite happy to hear the news, after all, he could not rely on these little ones forever, and the thought of thousands of rats sleeping with him around him made him uncomfortable.
Yuan Wuji said a little embarrassedly: "When you become a prince, I will cultivate an army of rats for you!
"By the way, you said that monster just now was a human, is it a cultivator?" asked Yuan Wuji curiously.
Ma Xie is not sure that he can snatch food from Ma Xie's hands, that person is obviously not an ordinary person, but his actions are extremely weird, as if he is crawling on the ground with both hands and feet, which is indescribably weird.
"It seems like a cultivator, but he was injured in some way. I don't know why he is hiding here, maybe he is hiding from some enemy!, but he can come and steal our food, which means that at least he is not a cultivator above the fourth level of the Qi Refining Realm, so don't worry. ”
After that, Ma Xie and Yuan Wuji slept on the ground, but they didn't know that there was a pair of eyes staring at them all the time in the dark.
