Chapter 3: The Road Meets the Beast
The next day, early in the morning.
Of course, Wang Rong got up and came to Cao Jing's room, and when he opened the door, he saw that there was no one in the room, and he thought to himself that Jing'er got up so early today, I don't know if there will be anything, and I used to get up after I got up.
Retracting his gaze, he saw a piece of paper on the table, so he walked over and saw a passage on the paper. Written:
Father and Mother:
The son went into the mountains early in the morning to pick herbs to see if he could find haode herbs and break through the current realm. I'll be back in a few days, so please rest assured!
The inscription reads son: Cao Jingliu.
Seeing the letterhead left by Cao Jing, Cao Shan sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that Cao Jing hoped to find his biological parents, he couldn't wait to break through the realm and go out as soon as possible to find out his life experience. Usually the clansmen do not come back for a few days when they enter Wushan, it is also normal, although Cao Jing only has three layers of forging body, less than the middle level of forging body, most of the fierce beasts encountered in the mountains can not be preserved, not enough, there are few fierce beasts in Wushan outside Caozhuang, Cao Jing encounters the possibility of fierce beasts is very small, there were also clansmen below the fourth layer of forging body before, and they were fine for seven or eight days after entering Wushan.
Therefore, Cao Shan didn't take it to heart, put away the paper, walked out of Cao Jing's room, went to the kitchen to explain to Wang Rong, and said that he would enter Wushan with his clan to collect medicine today, and by the way, see if he could find Cao Jing, let him come back early, and be relieved.
............
At dawn, Cao Jing walked out of the gate of Caozhuang alone and walked towards Wushan.
I didn't sleep last night, my face was tired, but I thought of my current situation, I was really uncomfortable, and I didn't want to tell my parents, so I left a book early in the morning and went into the mountain, hoping to find high-grade herbs and even elixirs, so as to take the third layer of forging body.
Cao Jing walked alone in the mountains and forests, confused, did not recognize the direction, walked at will, just walked and stopped, sat down and was in a daze, and then walked, the whole person seemed to have lost his soul, without any vitality.
Towards the end of the evening, Cao Jing found a relatively high stone, lay on it and thought silently, for a day, no herbs were collected, not that there were no herbs to pick, but that he didn't pay attention to the herbs he encountered at all, just walking. After a day of losing consciousness, I finally woke up in the evening, found some wild fruits to satisfy my hunger, and at the same time picked more wild fruits and wrapped them in my clothes, ready to eat tomorrow morning. Prepare to rest for the night and start tomorrow looking for herbs to solve your current problems.
Just when Cao Jing was sleeping in a daze, he was suddenly awakened by a fierce beast howl, frightened he sat up, his eyes were round, and he looked carefully at the beast's howl, and saw a bristle pig with a leg injured and many wounds on his body by bright moonlight, Cao Jing woke up at once, it seems that he had heard the clansmen say that it is best to climb a big tree to sleep after entering the mountain, especially when one is, it is very reasonable.
Although it was not the first time Cao Jing had entered the mountain, he had never spent the night on the mountain, nor had he encountered a fierce beast, and he didn't know what to do all of a sudden, he had also heard his father say that an adult bristle pig was equivalent to a fifth-layer monk with a forging body, and the pig's hair on his body was as hard as a steel needle, with thick skin and thick meat, and his defense was very high, so it was difficult to be injured, even a monk with a seventh-layer forging body was difficult to shoot.
The bristly pig in front of Cao Jing is obviously an adult, but I don't know how to get here, and the general beasts are in the mountains ten miles away, and they will not appear on the periphery of Wushan.
It turned out that this bristle pig was defeated when competing with other fierce beasts for a herb, was seriously injured, and chased after the beast ate herbs, and the bristle pig had no way to escape when he could only walk to the periphery of Ossan, so he fled here, at this time he had not eaten for two days, smelled a strange smell, and came over, saw Cao Jing, and wanted to pounce on food to satisfy hunger.
Although it is a seriously injured and dying bristle pig, it is not without an attack weapon, and there is no defense Cao Jing can deal with, it is estimated that Cao Jing does not even dare to touch the bristles of the bristle pig.
Cao Jing scolded in his heart for being unlucky, but his movements were not slow at all, he grabbed the bag with wild fruits, rushed out to the side, and ran forward quickly, thinking that the bristle pig was seriously injured and dying, and he should be able to escape if he ran faster.
chased and fled like this, Cao Jing didn't know where he had run, he only felt that he was about to collapse, but he still didn't get rid of the bristle pig.
Cao Jing stopped, and saw a steep slope nearly five or six zhang high in front of him, his already pale face was even paler, with his cultivation of the third layer of his forging body, and his current state, he would probably die if he jumped down. But looking at the bristle pig gradually approaching behind, gritted his teeth, walked forward, and prepared to jump, it was better than being eaten alive by the bristle pig immediately.
Cao Jing closed his eyes and jumped down violently, and the moment he landed, Cao Jing heard the crazy howl of the bristly haired pig above, and then he fainted and lost consciousness.
............
When Cao Jing woke up in a daze, he found that he was in a cave, because the leaves under the steep slope were very thick, he jumped down and was not injured, but only fainted because of the excessive physical exertion caused by the previous embarrassment.
Cao Jing carefully looked around the cave, and found that this was only a third of the size of a house, and it was estimated that it was not half the size of their kitchen, and the wall hole was surrounded by some messy grass, because the hole was filled with thick leaves, there was almost no sunlight, the cave was relatively dark and damp, and the messy grass did not grow well, Cao Jing reluctantly sat up, opened the bag he had grabbed in his hand before, took out the wild fruits picked next night, devoured all the wild fruits, and recovered some strength, closed his eyes and knees silently began to practice。
After waiting for half an hour, he recovered his body, got up and surrounded the hole, turned around several times, carefully looked at the various grasses growing on the hole in the wall, hoping to find a rare herb, but the heavens are not beautiful, after touching all the grass in the hole, only a few of the most common herbs were found, and the others were all grasses that did not have any value worthy of the name. Cao Jing, who was angry, stopped at the hole in the wall on the east side, punched the hole in the wall, and tore off a handful of grass.
At this moment, an unusual situation arises, just listen to the "bang" The body, like the sound of some heavy object falling from a high place, Cao Jing was frightened and squatted on the ground with his head against the wall, and when everything returned to silence, Cao Jing stood up, turned around and looked around, and found that there was a half-human-high hole in the wall hole where he fell, and looked at a little space inside, but because it was too dark to see clearly, I didn't know how much space there was, Cao Jing carefully checked the space around him, the ground and the wall, and found no danger, so he slowly walked to the half-person-high hole step by step, and looked around vigilantly, took a step to stop and look, checked, and listened carefullyI used to hear my father talk about the dangers outside, and I was afraid that I would be in danger as my father said, so I would lose my life.
Cao Jing was terrified and approached the half-human-high cave step by step. When there were still three steps from the entrance of the cave, Cao Jing stopped, and used enough strength to reach his eyes, hoping to see clearly what was inside, and he could vaguely see that there was a stone table in the middle of it, and only a semicircular stone pier was exposed on the right side of the stone table, Cao Jing guessed that it was a stone pier, and nothing else could be seen.
After half a ring, Cao Jing's eyes were astringent, Cao Jing dissipated his strength, closed his eyes, opened his eyes after a while, and slowly took a step forward vigilantly......
