Chapter 22: Experiences in the Mountains
In the fierce beast mountain range, the grass and trees are extremely vigorous, and they all go past Xia Mu's waist.
"Roar Roar"
The jungle trembled, and trees suddenly fell. In the blink of an eye, a giant bear with a height of three feet and red hair around it rushed out of the mountain forest with a roar and rushed towards Xia Mu.
This giant bear is blood-red, its fangs are exposed, and its huge body is so large that the ground shakes slightly as it runs.
"Bloodthirsty Violent Bear!" Xia Mu recognized the origin of this fierce beast at a glance.
The fierce beast in the Fierce Beast Mountain Range, the old man almost mentioned to him on the way that this bloodthirsty and violent bear has copper tendons and iron bones, infinite strength, and its strength is comparable to that of a cultivator in the late stage of enlightenment.
Its blood-colored fur was as hard as a steel needle and sharp as a sword.
"Good time!"
Xia Mu's eyes flashed, but instead of dodging, he stepped on his feet, shattering the earth, and in an instant, he burst out with extreme speed and rushed towards the bloodthirsty violent bear.
"Sky Breaker!"
Xia Mu's hand and soul light flickered, and he blasted out with a punch, and even the air was shattered, making a sharp sound of breaking the air. The punch slammed into the head of the bloodthirsty bear like a sledgehammer slashing down.
The bloodthirsty bear let out a terrible scream, and his entire body was blasted away by Xia Mu's punch, and his head was shattered on the spot, and he choked his breath at once.
The bloodthirsty bear has thick skin and thick flesh, and its defensive ability is extremely strong, but the defensive ability of the head is not so strong, plus after Xia Mu is promoted to open his body, he can swing out 100,000 catties of strength with one punch, and one punch will naturally make him die on the spot.
"A fierce beast that has not opened its spiritual intelligence, no matter how strong its strength is, it will be discounted. ”
Although Xia Mu's punch is powerful, if the opponent is a creature with intelligence, he will definitely dodge or protect his vital point, but this bloodthirsty bear is obviously not smart enough, and he does not have this awareness when facing a crisis.
"Sneer"
Xia Mu took out a dagger, and in a flash of white light, he cut open the chest of the bloodthirsty bear and dug out a red crystal nucleus the size of an egg.
"This is the Beast Crystal Nucleus?"
Xia Mu looked at the red crystal nucleus in his hand with a curious expression.
The most valuable thing in the body of the fierce beast is the crystal nucleus, followed by the fur, bones and spirit, but only the fierce beasts above the realm of enlightenment know how to actively absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and the crystal nucleus will be formed in the body.
The crystal nucleus in Xia Mu's hand has only one color, and it belongs to the lowest-level murderer crystal nucleus. But it is such a lowest-level crystal nucleus, and the aura contained in it is equivalent to the effect of Xia Mu's cultivation in one day.
The crystal nucleus of the fierce beast is a very unique thing, it belongs to an alternative elixir, only the fierce beast can condense it, and it is classified by the color depth and type of transformation, the darker the color, the more types, then the higher the level of the crystal nucleus.
The different colors represent the power system mastered by the beast, and the shade of color represents the amount of spiritual power contained in this crystal nucleus.
The red crystal nucleus represents that this bloodthirsty beast is a fire-type beast, purple is a thunder attribute, blue is a water attribute, and cyan is a wood attribute...... The dual-attribute crystal nucleus can only be condensed by elite-level fierce beasts, and so on, the three-attribute crystal nucleus can only be condensed by leader-level fierce beasts.
Xia Mu wanted to kill one, but the fierce beast with three attributes had a combat power comparable to the secret realm of the five elements, and it could turn over mountains and seas, and as soon as the divine power came out, the color of the heavens and the earth changed.
If Xia Mu encounters this kind of fierce beast now, let alone kill it, he can't escape, and if he meets him, he will die!
Digging out the crystal nucleus of the bloodthirsty violent bear, Xia Mu took off the two bear paws of the bloodthirsty explosive bear and went on the road.
The Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear's body is too large to be taken away completely, and it doesn't have anything particularly valuable on it except for Neidan, so bear paws can be used as a good cooking ingredient.
The palms of this bloodthirsty bear are larger than Xia Mu's, and after being cut off by Xia Mu, they were directly put into the Qiankun bag.
This Qiankun bag was given to him by the old man before leaving, and it is very precious and is specially used to store things.
"Sizzle!"
Before Xia Mu had gone far, on a decaying old tree, he suddenly shot a "trunk", breaking through the air, as fast as an arrow.
Boom!
Xia Mu's body did not move, his two fingers were clamped, and when this section of the "tree trunk" was about to shoot to his neck, he reached out and clamped it, making a sound of gold and iron colliding.
This is a wire snake, it likes to hide in the trees to attack, its body is as hard as ironwood, and it contains severe poison, if there is no defense, the cultivators of the fetal palace realm will also be poisoned.
This wire snake was caught by Xia Mu's two fingers, still struggling, with a mouth, two venoms shot out towards Xia Mu's eyes, which were dodged by Xia Mu, and then he used his two fingers to exert a force, and with a click, the wire snake was immediately caught by Xia Mu's fingers.
This clemat snake does not have a crystal nucleus in its body, and it is not as good as the bloodthirsty bear in terms of strength, but its venom can threaten the cultivators of the fetal palace realm, this is the magic of the creator, and low strength does not mean that there is no danger.
However, the fangs of this clemat snake, the venom and the snake gall are very valuable, not inferior to the crystal nucleus of the bloodthirsty bear, after Xia Mu killed the clemat snake, he took out a small porcelain bottle from the Qiankun bag, filled the venom of the clemat snake, and then took off the two fangs with a dagger, and tore it in half, and swallowed the snake gall bladder in his stomach.
As soon as the snake gall of this wire snake fell into his abdomen, it immediately seemed that a ball of blood qi exploded in his abdomen, and the rich essence burst out and flowed into Xia Mu's limbs and bones, the effect was surprisingly good, it was even more powerful than the effect of Xia Mu's medicinal bath for four or five days, Xia Mu felt that the strength of his whole body had increased a few points, and his body was more solid and powerful.
This type of poisonous snake does not have a crystal nucleus in its body, but its snake gall is also a great tonic for cultivators, and it can improve their physical fitness.
Rumble!
Xia Mu blasted out another punch, and in an instant, a powerful force erupted, earth-shattering, and a wind wolf was directly knocked into the ground, shattering the skeleton of his whole body.
He dismembered the wind wolf and obtained a cyan crystal nucleus.
Along the way, Xia Mu didn't know how many large and small beasts he had killed. Bloodthirsty Bears, Clematis, Wind Wolves, Pangolins, Thorny Tarantulas...... Sixteen crystal nuclei were collected for a single attribute alone, and there were even more fierce beasts that did not produce crystal nuclei, and there were hundreds of them.
Like the venom of the thorn tarantula, the poison is more intense than that of the wire snake, and it can volatilize into the air, colorless and invisible, and can penetrate into the monk's body through the pores, and it is also collected by Xia Mu.
"Night is about to fall, I have to find a place to spend the night, and by the way, refine the essence in my body. Xia Mujun's face was flushed, as if he was drunk, it was the result of swallowing too many of the various snake gall bladders and other flesh and blood treasures, and he didn't have time to refine his energy, wandering around in his body.
However, the surrounding vegetation is a favorite place for fierce beasts to lurk and hunt, and it is not suitable for cultivation overnight.
"Huh, this moisture!"
Xia Mu closed his eyes and felt that a mountain peak was blowing with moisture, and it was cool.
"It's like a big lake, go and take a look. ”
Xia Mu fought and killed the fierce beasts along the way, and unconsciously went deep into the fierce beast mountain range for hundreds of miles, but now that night was falling, he needed to find a place to spend the night, and he followed the direction where the mountain wind blew.
After a while, Xia Mu saw a waterhole, a silver-white waterfall, hanging down from the peak of thousands of feet, converging into a deep pool at the foot of the mountain, making a rumbling sound.
"Nice place, stayed here for the night tonight. Xia Mu stood on the edge of the pool and looked around, but he didn't feel the breath of any fierce beasts.
He explored all the way and found a natural cave behind the waterfall, which was not deep, but it was more than enough as a temporary foothold.
"No matter how much it is, let's refine the essence in the body first. Xia Mu said secretly in his heart, sitting cross-legged in the cave and began to refine the essence in his body.
Bang!
Xia Mu sat in the cave behind the waterfall, and there was a thunderous explosion in his body. He swallowed the flesh and blood essence of many fierce beasts, many of which contained a huge amount of essence, which was refined by him one by one, fused with his own flesh and blood, and nourished the five internal organs and six internal organs.
Then Xia Mu slapped his palms on the ground, and the whole person rose into the air, moving around in the cave, exerting his fists and kicks, and the punches hit the mountain wall, making a banging sound, and the whole cave was shaking.
"Boom"
In the end, Xia Mu bombarded the ground with a punch, and a powerful force erupted, the earth cracked, the cracks spread dozens of zhang, and then with a bang, the soil and rocks in this area crumbled into powder, forming a large pit.
"I just devoured some of the flesh and blood essence of the fierce beast, and I actually increased my strength by nearly a hundred catties, this Nanban is simply a treasure trove!"
Xia Mu felt the powerful power that continued to burst out from his body, and couldn't help but admire.
He now understands a little that the Nanban is so dangerous, and every year many disciples of sects and tribes are buried in the mouth of the fierce beast, but there are still so many people who rush to it, and even before ancient times, there were human powerhouses who established the tribe in the Nanban.
The so-called experience is not only to sharpen one's own spiritual skills and improve survival, but also a kind of chance, the Southern Barbarians are hundreds of millions of miles long, which has given birth to countless spiritual essence medicines, and some of the flesh and blood treasures of fierce beasts are of great use for cultivation, like the elite-level ice and snow python, full of essence and blood, after Xia Mu took it, the realm that had just broken through was immediately stabilized.
Now Xia Mu is only wandering on the edge of the outermost Fierce Beast Mountain Range in the Southern Barbarian Southern Wilderness, and in less than a day, he has so many harvests, not to mention that there are still some Heavenly Exotic Fruits and other spiritual essence treasures in the Fierce Beast Mountain Range.
Moreover, the stronger the fierce beasts, the more valuable the crystal nuclei and flesh essence on their bodies are to cultivators.
Xia Mu is only in the middle stage of enlightenment now, and the crystal nuclei and flesh essence of these most ordinary fierce beasts are still useful to him, and when his strength becomes stronger and stronger, these things can only be used as ordinary ingredients, and no matter how much he eats, he will not increase his strength.
At that time, if you want to improve your strength, you need to do something against the sub-elite-level fierce beasts, or even the elite-level fierce beasts.
"No wonder the elders want to take me here to practice, although the mortality rate here is extremely high, the harvest is also great!" Xia Mu sighed in his heart.
The mountain gate outside the Qiankun Sacred Courtyard also raised many fierce beasts in captivity, giving birth to a large number of spiritual essence treasures, these are the wealth accumulated by the Qiankun Sacred Courtyard bit by bit over the generations, representing part of the Qiankun Sacred Academy's heritage, and it is also an artificial fierce beast defense line, so it is impossible for the fierce beasts in it to be killed casually by the disciples of the sect.
