Chapter 72 Going into the mountains together
Su Yulang has been a little troubled recently.
Ever since Eminem told him that day that he really wanted to "eat" his father, his little mind was filled with worries, and even his sleep was a little restless. He didn't know whether he should tell his father. If he told his father, Eminem would definitely be angry, but if he told his father, his father might be angry with Eminem again.
No matter which one it is, he doesn't want it.
Hey, when you think about it, this is really weird. My father is not a monster, so why would Eminem want to eat his father? This troubled him for a long time. In order to prevent Eminem from quarreling with his father, he finally decided to keep a close eye on Eminem and never give Eminem any chance to eat his father. But I didn't expect that after he followed him for so long, Eminem didn't see him doing anything else except staying with his father for a longer time every day.
This made him wonder if he had misheard what Eminem said that day.
Su Ziyi and Bian Qing didn't know what their well-behaved son was thinking. They had been practicing spells recently. In order to improve Bian Qing's fighting ability, Su Ziyi took Bian Qing to the training ground he opened in the mountains, and acted as a training opponent for spell combat practice with Bian Qing every day.
In addition, Su Ziyi thought that the physical strength of two people was still a bit weak, so he tried every means to improve this. But he couldn't afford more expensive methods now, so he could only pay a special visit to the Xiang Mansion and copy some common medicinal recipes from Dr. Wu to improve their physical condition. After all, they had lived a difficult life for more than ten years. , leaving some serious problems in their bodies.
"Chi-"
In the clearing in the mountain, Bian Qing rubbed his feet hard, holding a wooden sword and shooting at Su Ziyi. Su Ziyi, on the other hand, was calm, tiptoe, and jumped onto the branch in an instant, and then he heeled As soon as he stepped on it, the tree trunk with a thick wrist under his feet immediately broke apart as if it had been hit by a huge blow. With a "click", the whole dense mass of branches and leaves rushed towards Bian Qing's hood, and Bian Qing had no time to turn around. He had to use his sword to chop down the branches.
Taking advantage of this gap, Su Ziyi's toes touched the tree trunk, and his whole body fell behind Bian Qing like a graceful parabola. Just when Bian Qing had just split the branches in front of him to both sides, the tip of the wooden sword in his hand It has reached Bian Qing's back.
"You lost again." A clear and shallow smile appeared on Su Ziyi's face, not at all proud.
"You are much faster than me." This expected result did not make Bian Qing feel disappointed, but just a little helpless. He turned around and faced Su Ziyi face to face. Su Ziyi retracted the wooden sword and analyzed seriously: "Actually, judging from the monsters I have encountered so far, their magical powers do not necessarily have to be very powerful. They can be avoided as long as they are careful. But they The speed is quite fast, so if we want to maintain the advantage in front of them, we must be faster."
"Well, I know." Bian Qing nodded clearly: "It's just that I feel like my body can't keep up right now. , I always want to avoid it, but my body always slows down."
"It's because you haven't adapted yet." When he first came to this world, Su Ziyi had also encountered this kind of situation, so he knew it very well. Reason: "When you fight the enemy more times, your body will form a reaction ahead of your consciousness, and it will be much better by then. In fact, to put it bluntly, it means you don't have enough experience."
After that, he raised the sword and said: "Come on , let's continue."
The calmness in his tone aroused Bian Qing's fighting spirit. He also raised his sword with great interest and made a decent gesture to Su Ziyi: "Then I'm asking for advice." After speaking, The whole person was pushed forward again.
Without a special master to teach them, the two of them could only train in this wild way. Fortunately, Su Ziyi had experience fighting monsters, so when fighting Bian Qing, he would subconsciously imitate his battle scenes with monsters. Although this approach was a bit crude, it was more practical than anything else. And because of his inner desire, Bian Qing worked up all his energy to defeat Su Ziyi, so in addition to the aboveboard moves, he also came up with some other tricks.
It's just that these tricks are not enough in the face of absolute strength.
"This move of yours can be used when facing an opponent of similar strength." Su Ziyi commented lightly when he knocked down Bian Qing's sword again. Just now, Bian Qing made a feint with the sword in his hand, seemingly trying to attack his shoulder from the front, but in fact, he wanted to rely on the support of the big tree behind him to use his legs to circle around and attack him from behind.
However, when he made a back leg movement with his feet, Su Ziyi sensed his intention and instantly seized the flaw to defeat him, without giving him a chance to make a move.
Bian Qing was exhausted from a whole day of high-frequency sparring. This time he didn't pick up the wooden sword. Instead, he sat down on the tree stump and calmed his breathing. He closed his eyes and slowly used his inner energy to restore his spiritual energy. But before that, he didn't forget to take a Yiqi pill. Pill, because the effect of the pill is greater, and the spiritual energy absorbed is stronger.
And Su Ziyi opposite him was the same as him.
"Huh--" Bian Qing opened his eyes after almost half of the spiritual energy in his body had recovered, and Su Ziyi, who was sitting opposite him, opened his eyes at the same time as if he had a clear understanding, but this time neither of them stood up again after meditating. After a round of sparring, he calmly summarized the previous sparring.
"Do you think I can defeat a first-level monster with my current skills?" Bian Qing actually basically knew about his current problems, but it would take some time to change them all, so he focused more on the results and was eager to I want to know what my strength is. After hearing his question, Su Ziyi didn't just talk randomly, but after careful consideration in his heart, he said: "Your current situation is much better than when I was at the fourth level of Qi Refining. If you encounter Wu Monsters like Yu have a very high chance of winning."
"What about Quanran?"
"Well -" This is more intuitive. Su Ziyi thought without thinking: "If it's a singles match, your chances of winning are relatively high. Big. But you have to know -" When he saw Bian Qing's eyes lit up instantly, he was worried that Bian Qing would take too big a step at once, so he immediately stopped him and said: "Quanqing usually acts in groups. There are at least a dozen of them. Calculating this number, you will be a little choked to even escape." He warned: "Don't forget what happened to me last time." Although he still hasn't figured out why he obviously suffered. Seriously injured but not okay at all.
"Yeah, I know, I'm just asking." Bian Qing has never been an impulsive person. He also knows how much he weighs, and he will never do that kind of thing recklessly just because he is strong. He just I hope Su Ziyi will give him some recognition.
"The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there are more and more animals in the mountains." Sitting in the shade of a tree, the two of them avoided direct sunlight, but were a little cold because of the heavy humidity in the forest. "I think our sparring results have been pretty good recently. It's time to go to the mountains and meet the monsters that are easier to hunt." Su Ziyi said this not because he wanted to go to the mountains for selfish reasons
. , but a decision made after considering many factors.
First of all, he has been sparring with Bian Qing for a month. During this month, Bian Qing was defeated from the moment he fell face-to-face. Now he can survive ten moves in his hands. He has made considerable progress. It should be more than enough for ordinary first-order monsters. Secondly, when he went into the mountains to pick herbs during this period, he had discovered traces of monsters several times, including the black feather that he had hunted. The strength of this monster was quite suitable for Bian Qing at this stage, and he could try.
Moreover, although Karasuba is a rather arrogant and stupid monster, he still has the wild instincts of a monster. Basically, wherever Karasuba appears, it is generally difficult to encounter more dangerous monsters. Because they will retreat as soon as they sense danger.
Therefore, they don't have to worry about encountering second-level and above monsters on this trip.
"Is it okay?" When he first heard Su Ziyi's words, Bian Qing was shocked at first, but then he felt a sense of longing. This feeling of wanting and panic made his eyes flicker, but in the end he remained in his heart. That one must "want to go", so within a few seconds, his eyes became determined again.
"Yes." Su Ziyi shook his robe and stood up. It was past midnight and the sky was slowly getting dark. Su Ziyi didn't think about doing anything else today. He just planned to explain the matter clearly to Bian Qing: "I found traces of Wu Yu in the mountains. They are easy to track and easy to hunt, making them a good prey to test the waters." In order to make Bian Qing less nervous, Su Ziyi began to cheer up Bian Qing: "Wu Yu's strength is not high, and his speed is not very fast. , the only thing you have to pay attention to is to avoid its beak and the lightning strikes it sends out from its throat when it takes advantage of the chaos." He was quite sure when he said this, with absolute trust in Bian Qing: "With your current strength, As long as you pay attention, it's easy to hunt down a black feather."
"Really..." Su Ziyi's words made Bian Qing fascinated. He looked over the other person's shoulder and looked deeper and deeper into the dark forest.
After deciding to go into the mountain to hunt Wu Yu, Su Ziyi and Bian Qing started preparations after returning home that day, and went up to the mountain early the next morning.
Originally, during their discussion a month ago, they had thought of taking Su Yulang into the mountains together. But when the day came, seeing that Su Yulang was only at the first level of Qi Refining, they hesitated again, and finally, after careful consideration, they left Su Yulang at home. Su Yulang also understood that his mother-in-law did not go to the mountains with her father just for fun, so she agreed obediently and without making any noise.
After leaving Su Yulang enough food and money, and repeatedly telling him to pay attention to safety, Su Ziyi and Bian Qing walked into the mountains.
One spring and one-third of the summer are enough for the forest outside Luoshan Village to grow lush enough. Walking in the woods in the early morning, water vapor turns into mist, and threads float in the woods, slowly evaporating upwards, making those who stay in the woods feel colder on their skin. But Su Ziyi and Bian Qing, who were wearing shorts, didn't feel cold at all. They each carried a bamboo basket on their backs and a knife in their hands, and ran into the mountains very quickly.
"Now that your body is much better, you can try to wrap the spiritual energy only on the toes, so that the calf muscles can also support the forward force. It is much more cost-effective than wrapping the entire calf with spiritual energy."
On the way, Su Ziyi taught Bian Qing some driving skills, and Bian Qing learned very quickly. After Su Ziyi demonstrated a few times, he learned the essentials and started practicing stumblingly.
Su Ziyi was very pleased to see that he was so serious. At the same time, he also felt that his decision to ask Bian Qing if he would go outside with him was the right decision.
Because the traces of monsters Su Ziyi found last time were a little far away from Luoshan Village, the two of them didn't stop when they saw suitable herbs on the road, but kept rushing towards the mountains. When the sun rose and almost all the water vapor in the mountains gathered at the tops of the trees, the two of them almost arrived at their destination and began to meditate and rest on the spot.
"Look -" After restoring the spiritual energy in his body to its peak level, Su Ziyi stood up, used a branch to pull some leaves aside, pointed to the footprints sunk deep into the mud and said, "This string of The footprints are still quite fresh and quite messy. It can be seen that this Karasuba often goes back and forth here. And judging from the size and depth of the footprints, this Karasuba is already an adult Karasuba, at least It's the strength of the fourth level of Qi Refining."
After saying this, he looked at Bian Qing with a questioning look, wanting to know if Bian Qing would go, after all, the opponent's strength might be higher than him.
Bian Qing had been quite nervous before coming, but when he actually faced it, he felt surprisingly calm. He met Su Ziyi's eyes and saw the other person's worry, which made him lose the last trace of hesitation in his heart: "I want to try." We are here, and he can no longer retreat, otherwise when will he catch up? Su Ziyi's pace?
Therefore, even if there is only a 50% chance of winning, he must go.
"Okay." Su Ziyi didn't see any wavering on Bian Qing's face, which made him smile subconsciously.
Compared with other monsters, Karasuba is undoubtedly a more stupid existence. They are not very powerful, but they are quite arrogant, and they never cover their tracks. When faced with enemies who can provoke them, they often just It will rush forward with all its blood, trying to kill the opponent with its sharp beak.
In this cruel continent, the reason why the other party can still exist, Su Ziyi guessed, is because the other party's ability to bully the weak and fear the strong has been perfected to the extreme, coupled with the exaggerated reproductive ability.
Therefore, it didn't take long for Su Ziyi and Bian Qing to find this black feather beside a small mountain spring pool.
Chapter 73 Bian Qing's first battle
This is a very beautiful Karasuba.
Its hair is bright and shiny, and its long, curved beak shines golden yellow in the sunlight, making it look very sharp. Looking at its two strong and powerful thighs, and its size that is not inferior to that of the black feather that Su Ziyi hunted for the first time, one can confirm at a glance that it is a good hunter of small animals.
"This is a male Wuyu." Looking at the small blue feathers on the other person's head, Su Ziyi whispered.
"Yeah." When Su Ziyi said this to Bian Qing, they were very close, and a stream of heat sprayed directly into Bian Qing's ears, causing Bian Qing's ears to turn red instantly. He calmly pulled away from Su Ziyi. distance. "It looks more powerful than the one I hunted last time, are you sure?" This black feather poses no threat to the current Su Ziyi, but it is quite difficult for Bian Qing, who has zero actual combat experience.
"Huh--" Bian Qing didn't dare to brag, because it would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous, even though he had made a lot of mental preparations before.
Standing in the secret of the bush, Bian Qing saw that Wuyu had finished drinking water and was leisurely polishing its long beak with the big stone next to it. Every time it was scraped, it would leave an obvious mark on the stone. , and even some stone chips were rubbed out! This is enough to show that this Karasuba is at its strongest age, has rich combat experience, and its strength cannot be underestimated.
so what? !
"You don't need to confront him head-on." Su Ziyi made a mental assessment and felt that the possibility of Bian Qing being able to escape unscathed was not high, so he came up with an idea: "You can find a more private place and use the spiritual energy blade to kill him." Let it be seriously injured..." "No." Before Su Ziyi finished speaking, Bian Qing shook his head and refused, speaking resolutely: "I went into the mountain hoping to use it to hone my skills, not just to hunt. Kill."
After saying that, he clenched the green-horned knife that Su Ziyi lent him, stood up, pushed aside the bushes in front of him, and walked towards the water pool.
The movement he made was not too small, and the distance between him and Karasuba was not too far away, so as soon as he walked to the bush, Karasuba over there turned around, a pair of sharp little Look at him. Looking at the opponent's eyes that were filled with the violent emotions of a monster, Bian Qing swallowed subconsciously.
Su Ziyi, who was standing behind, did not follow him out, but quietly ducked behind a big tree, then without disturbing any leaves, jumped onto the branch and squinted at the battlefield. But he held the hatchet tightly in his hand. As long as something went wrong with Bian Qing, he would immediately go to support him.
"Gu--" Wu Yu's intuition was very strong. After seeing Bian Qing's sudden appearance, he did not rush up immediately. Instead, he squeezed out a warning sound in his throat and took a step back with his legs. , the whole body collapsed tightly.
But its threat had no effect. Bian Qing didn't even understand what it meant. After seeing it half-lowering his body, he thought the opponent was in an attack posture, so he held the knife from the front and stepped on it with one leg. Accumulating strength on the mud behind him, his eyes were fixed on Karasuba, ready to wait for it to move and then launch his own attack immediately.
And his gesture completely aroused Karasuba's anger. From the perspective of this Karasuba, the monk in front of him should be about the same strength as himself, but the other party actually ignored his warning and still assumed an attacking posture, indicating that the two sides were already fighting to the death and could only have a fight. Hard fight.
Therefore, it no longer had any doubts. It exerted force on its legs and rushed over in an instant. Bian Qing, who was opposite it, saw that it had moved and rushed forward decisively.
Seeing that the distance between himself and Karasuba was getting closer and closer, Bian Qing raised the Green Horn Sword to his chest, preparing to test the opponent's strength without using spiritual power. But just as he raised his sword, Wu Yu opened his mouth suddenly, and a thin purple thunder as fast as lightning spit out from it and shot towards Bian Qing's forehead!
Oh no, it's magic!
Seeing Wu Yu open his mouth, Bian Qing immediately knew the opponent's methods. Su Ziyi had told him all these. Su Ziyi, who was squatting on the tree trunk, was also sweating for Bian Qing. You must know that the purple thin thunder can make half of the body unconscious in an instant. Once Bian Qing is hit, the test will end in failure. end.
It's just that Bian Qing was smarter than Su Ziyi thought. The moment he noticed the other party's intention, he immediately stopped running forward. Just when the purple thin thunder was about to hit the door, he swept his right leg back and brought it with him. His whole body turned to one side, just enough to avoid this thin purple thunder. After dodging this blow, Bian Qing didn't pause at all. He stepped hard on the ground with his left foot. Using the technique Su Ziyi said, he rushed forward two feet in one step, leaving only a deep footprint in the original place. land.
His speed was far beyond Karasuba's imagination, but after all, he had rich hunting experience. He didn't panic, and he also opened his legs and ran, but the direction was not the same as Bian Qing's. It seemed to be Want to go around in circles.
But how could Bian Qing let it succeed?
With three more points of aura on his feet, his speed would become one point faster. Although he knew that it was very dangerous to get close to the other party, he was very calm inside and had even written out a way to die for the other party in his heart. Seeing another thin purple laser coming from the other party, Bian Qing increased his speed again, which consumed the spiritual energy in his body faster, but made him feel safer.
After missing again with one blow, the black feather already knew that he would not be able to get anything good from Bian Qing today. So it made a prompt decision and wanted to turn around and run while there was still some distance between them. After all, once it enters a place with denser vegetation, it can return to its home turf and avenge itself with its own hands.
Bian Qing kept the key points Su Ziyi said in mind, and knew that Wu Yu was going to escape when he turned around. In desperation, he swung a spiritual energy blade in his hand, and it just happened to hit the tip of the opponent's tail, cutting off a small piece of hair and blood. Such an injury gave Wu Yu a burst of pain and severely stimulated his small brain. He did not run away and rushed towards Bian Qing with red eyes.
And this is exactly what Bian Qing wants.
But this Wuyu weighed about a hundred pounds at least, so Bian Qing did not dare to catch the opponent head-on. Instead, he turned slightly, holding the handle of the Qingjiao knife backwards against the outside of his left arm, and prepared to duck away from the opponent. Pass. But how can Karasuba be a fuel-efficient lamp? When it approached Bian Qing, it tilted its head, and its long beak just pecked the blade of the Qingjiao knife. It forced its chin, causing Bian Qing's hand to lose its strength, and the blade of the knife instantly moved an inch.
"Kaci - Kaci -" Bian Qing did not let go of the green horn knife, and Wu Yu did not dare to take back his strength. The long beak immediately made an unpleasant friction sound on the blade, just because of the toughness of the green horn sword. It's higher than Karasuba's, so even if Karasuba grinds his beak until his mouth hurts, he won't leave a single scratch on the blade.
The speed of both parties was extremely fast, and the collision only happened in an instant.
After passing by, Bian Qing paused forward, and Wu Yu also stopped. They turned around in unison and faced each other face to face with solemn expressions. At this time, Wu Yu's beak had been worn to some damage, and there was a trace of blood seeping from the place where the beak and the mouth connected. It was obvious that Bian Qing won this time.
"Goooooooo-" Such pain made Wuyu feel as if he had suffered a great humiliation. He raised his head and cried twice, then rushed towards Bian Qing first. This time, he was not so reckless and learned to be smarter. It used roots and rocks on the ground to constantly change its position, making Bian Qing unsure from which side it was going to attack.
But even so, so what?
After fighting like this with Karasuba, Bian Qing already felt confident. He threw away all hesitation, turned his defense into attack, and rushed towards Karasuba too! In this way, the two sides kept changing their bodies, and with the help of shrubs and tree roots, they kept going around and facing each other, and finally met at the edge of the pool!
Even though his jumping ability is not outstanding, Wu Yu's legs used the force to jump, and he was almost as tall as a man. It swooped down from above like a flying eagle, and the tips of a pair of worn long beaks still shone with a terrifying light, pointing straight towards Bian Qing pounced. And its jump was so fast that Bian Qing only had time to put the knife horizontally and press the blade against the opponent's beak to avoid being pecked in the arm. However, even so, Wu Yu brought the impact from top to bottom. It was so big that he had to step back continuously. When his heels hit the roots of the tree, his body fell straight backwards.
This is a great opportunity for Karasuba!
After living in the forest for so many years, Karasuba has become quite good at seizing various opportunities, and he did not miss this opportunity. It landed before Bian Qing, and before Bian Qing had time to support himself with his hands, it had already rushed towards Bian Qing again. Its sharp beak aimed directly at Bian Qing's lower abdomen this time, trying to kill him with one blow!
But how could it possibly succeed?
Not to mention Su Ziyi, who was squatting on a branch, always ready to support Bian Qing, Bian Qing, who had been defeated by Su Ziyi in various ways for a month, had already been trained to fight instincts. When the other party was approaching quickly, he didn't even think about standing up. He just rolled on the spot and rolled a few times on the slumped tree roots and rotten leaves. He was about to miss the other party.
When turning his body to the front, Bian Qing swung the green horn knife in his right hand without thinking, and slashed casually, but the tip of the knife just happened to slice directly past Karasuba's side!
The blade of the Green Horn Knife was so sharp that it easily broke through Karasuba's skin and penetrated directly into the flesh without Bian Qing using any force. Such a large wound was not just a bite on the side of the beak. It instantly activated all of Karasuba's pain cells, causing it to rush forward uncontrollably and stab the knife that had been pierced into the flesh. The deeper it is taken, the wider the wound will be!
"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaw..." The sharp pain made Karasuba scream in pain, but because it was too painful, the initial high pitch gradually became weak, especially after a large amount of blood spurted along the wound. When he reached the ground, his voice became lower and lower, and even half of his body was tilted, giving people the feeling that he was about to collapse at any time.
Now the battlefield situation is basically confirmed.
Su Ziyi pressed down the hatchet that he had originally raised, and over there, Bian Qing also stood up. His face was scratched with two blood marks by the stones on the ground, but he didn't pay attention to these, his eyes were fixed. Staring at the Karasuba. At this time, the opponent was seriously injured, and it understood deeply that it had no power to fight with the opponent, so no matter how painful the physical injury was, it did not think of stopping and prepared to escape into the forest.
But how could Bian Qing give it this chance!
The crippled Wu Yu was like a living target. Bian Qing didn't even need to get close, he just stood there and swung a spiritual energy blade in his hand and hit the opponent directly. This blow only grazed the opponent's body. Although the injury was more serious, it was not fatal. Therefore, although the opponent's steps became staggering, he could still stumble forward with all his strength, so Bian Qing gritted his teeth. , condensed all the remaining spiritual energy in the body into three spiritual energy blades and shot them.
This time, the three spiritual energy blades were precisely marked, causing more blood on the opponent's body. From a distance, it looked like he was bathed in blood, but at the same time, he fell completely.
Seeing the other person fall, Bian Qing was relieved. Regardless of his pale face, he wanted to go forward and pick him up. But at this moment, a clean hand stretched out from his back and stopped his steps. He turned his head and saw that it was Su Ziyi. "You meditate and rest first, and I'll be there." After saying that, he walked directly past Bian Qing.
Bian Qing was really a little tired, so after hearing that Su Ziyi was willing to do it for him, he didn't refuse and just stood there and stared at the other person's figure. But unexpectedly, just when Su Ziyi walked over and squatted down, ready to pinch Wu Yu's neck, the originally motionless Wu Yu corpse suddenly raised its head, and a thin purple thunder spurted out from its mouth, hitting the unprepared person. Su Ziyi.
"No!" Bian Qing's eyes were about to burst, and his face was instantly as white as snow.
"Haha--" Su Ziyi smiled when he saw the other party's dying struggle. With a wave of his hand, an invisible resistance suddenly appeared between him and Wu Yu, directly turning the thin thunder into invisible form. And after seeing his attack suddenly disappear, the last glimmer of hope in Karasuba's eyes was completely extinguished. He closed his eyes and died like this.
Su Ziyi, who had been attacked by a sneak attack, felt that it was not safe. He stretched out two slender fingers and pressed on the opponent's throat, and then squeezed gently, completely cutting off any chance of life in the opponent.
After seeing Su Ziyi calmly neutralize the opponent's attack without suffering any damage, Bian Qing was completely relieved. He slowly walked over, crossing one obstacle after another with some difficulty. Su Ziyi, who was holding Bian Qing's first prey in his hand, had already stood up and smiled at Bian Qing: "You did a good job."
