Chapter 143 Unexpected Gain
When the sun rose high, Su Ziyi had the strength to go down from the rocky mountain to the ground.
As soon as it landed on the ground, yesterday's fishy smell had already begun to develop in the direction of rancidity, so it rushed into Su Ziyi's nostrils and stung him. He took two steps back, and then walked towards the black and red puddle with some difficulty.
This is the body of the thin old man.
It's just that now, he can't see what he looked like before. Su Ziyi couldn't imagine what kind of power could crush the flesh and blood of a foundation-building cultivator into a thin piece? If it weren't for the fact that his face could still be discerned after being flattened, Su Ziyi would have mistaken him for some unlucky guy.
The current appearance of this thin old man looked very much like those animal carcasses that Su Ziyi had seen crushed by cars on the road.
Although he looked miserable, Su Ziyi had no intention of sympathizing with him. He looked up and forward in the direction where the body fell, and saw a grass and stone path about ten feet wide. Like the old man's body, it was also crushed by foreign objects, with only some tenacious grass stems passing by. After a night, I slowly straightened my waist.
It seems that the golden horned anaconda did it.
Su Ziyi took a breath of air, but the surroundings were too smelly, so as soon as the stench entered his mouth, he immediately closed his mouth tightly. He didn't know what happened yesterday after he fainted, but it was clear that the golden horned anaconda had not lost. He looked down at the sword that fell into pieces and fell beside the old man, and shook his head.
Sure enough, even if you embark on the path of cultivation, if your strength is not higher than that of your opponent, there will always be a risk of death.
Su Ziyi sighed and planned to turn around and leave. However, when he turned around, he noticed something was wrong out of the corner of his eye and turned around immediately. Then he picked up a branch from the grass nearby, and used the tip of the branch to pull the skinny old man's clothes that had been lumped together with blood and flesh. Although it was a bit difficult to do, he still succeeded after using a little strength. He separated the piece of fabric.
However, this is also due to the fact that this part has a bulge and is not pressed too flat.
It was when Su Ziyi saw that the other party's waist actually bulged out that he stopped curiously and did something further. And when he opened the piece of cloth, he saw a dark cloth bag hanging on the old man's belt. It looked no more than the size of a palm, but it was exceptionally clean in this bloody place.
Subconsciously, Su Ziyi knew that this bag was probably not an ordinary thing.
He bent down and picked up the cloth bag. When he tore off the tether, the waist of the corpse, which had turned into a pancake, moved slightly, as if Su Ziyi had torn the flesh and blood apart in one move. So at that moment, Su Ziyi's hand paused.
When the bag was in his hand, Su Ziyi realized that it was not as clean as he thought. It was still soaked with blood, but it was just not stained with those white and red things. Feeling disgusted, he pulled on the frenulum with a few fingers, opened the bag, lowered his head and wanted to look inside, but found that he couldn't see anything at all.
Of course, it didn't mean that there was nothing inside, but when he looked at it with his eyes, he could only see a layer of illusory things, like a transparent mist rolling over the mouth of the bag.
Now, Su Ziyi knew that this bag was really extraordinary.
He turned his head and thought for a moment, then broke off a section of the branch in his hand and tentatively put it into the bag. As a result, the branch was able to pass through the mouth of the bag smoothly. He pulled back a little and found that there was nothing wrong with the branches, they were still the same, so he felt confident and continued to stuff the remaining branches inside.
In the end, he was surprised to find that this cloth bag, which was no bigger than his palm, could actually fit a branch as long as his forearm into it without touching the bottom!
At this time, many ideas flashed through his mind like a brainstorm, and finally settled on a word he had seen online before - storage bag. This knowledge inexplicably made him a little excited. He pulled out the branch with only a small section in his hand. After making sure that the branch was intact, he used his own finger to poke it, only to find that his finger was blocked by something. Got it! You can't get in at all!
In an instant, the excitement that just arose in my heart was immediately extinguished by a basin of cold water.
Since he believes that the other party is extraordinary, he naturally won't just throw it away. Because as the sun got higher and higher, the surrounding area got hotter and hotter, making the smell even worse. So Su Ziyi had to carry the bag and move to a forest some distance away, and finally chose a dense tree with a relatively clear view of the surrounding area. He sat down behind an open tree.
As soon as he sat down, he began to think about how he should open the bag.
Since the branch can pass through, there is no reason why his fingers cannot pass through. Is it because he is alive and the branch is dead? It would be difficult to think about it this way. He had never seen anything like a storage bag in the original owner's memory, and naturally he didn't know how to use it. But after thinking about various ideas, he thought maybe he could try it with his spiritual consciousness?
As soon as he thought of it, Su Ziyi immediately used a part of his consciousness to explore it, and was pleasantly surprised to find that he passed without any obstruction this time!
But after passing through that layer of obstacles, another layer of barriers stood in front of him. It looked a little different from the previous layer, and it felt a little progressively weaker. Su Ziyi even noticed a trace of someone else's breath, but it was blocked by it. In front of him, Su Ziyi didn't think about anything else and tried to crack it with brute force. However, he failed the first time. He was stunned for a moment, and then he rushed over with all his consciousness. Unexpectedly, he succeeded!
And after his spiritual consciousness passed through, before he could celebrate in his heart, he was stunned by everything that his spiritual consciousness detected!
I didn’t expect this to actually be a storage bag.
In fact, this storage bag is not very big. It looks like it is only about twenty cubic meters in size, but it is filled to the brim immediately. Various wooden boxes and jade boxes containing unknown items were placed neatly on the wooden shelves, as well as some elixirs, food and clothing, which were also neatly placed in designated places.
In addition, Su Ziyi also saw some books and bamboo slips placed on the bookshelf, all of which he had never read before, and all of them were related to cultivation. Moreover, Su Ziyi also saw a dozen jade slips in an open wooden box on the bookshelf. The format was similar to that of ordinary bamboo slips, so Su Ziyi knew without guessing that the things recorded in them were definitely related to cultivation.
As for the boxes placed on the wooden shelves, Su Ziyi also scanned them one by one with his spiritual consciousness. After seeing everything clearly, his breathing stopped for a few seconds.
Oh my God! What kind of luck did he have?
Placed in the jade box were some very precious spiritual herbs, many of which Su Ziyi had only seen in books, and some spiritual herbs that he had never read about in books, but seeing their appearance With the layer of brilliance circulating on it, Su Ziyi knew that their value could only be higher! It can definitely become an existence that can refine elixirs of higher value!
And this was just the contents of the jade box. When he saw the contents of the wooden box, Su Ziyi was shocked again. Because the items placed in these wooden boxes were either money or treasures, Su Ziyi even found a small box of spiritual stones. After a rough count, there were nearly thirty pieces! Moreover, all of them are in complete appearance and are intact spiritual stones, which are not comparable to virtual spiritual stones or fragments of spiritual stones!
Holding the storage bag in his hand, Su Ziyi's heart was pounding.
At this time, he only had one thought in his mind: he was really lucky this time.
But after the excitement, reason quickly returned. Su Ziyi still remembered that yesterday he not only heard the voice of one person, but also the voice of another practitioner. However, he only saw the body of one person on the stone mountain, but no trace of the other person. This meant that that person should He left and escaped.
Otherwise, the other party would not have left this storage bag.
As for why he escaped, Su Ziyi knew without even thinking that it must be because of the golden horned anaconda. This made him feel a little happy and a little alert at the same time. After all, the man's body was not found, and it is very likely that he really escaped. When he comes back to investigate again, he will definitely find that the storage bag is missing. Then he might do something to involve the trouble. On oneself.
So, in order to avoid this situation, he had to do something.
After squinting his eyes and thinking for a while, Su Ziyi stuffed the smelly storage bag into his arms, then picked up his long sword and ran into the woods behind him. After a while, there was a "rumbling" sound accompanied by the sound of small branches breaking, and then a man in a brown shorts was seen rushing out of the forest holding a cold sword, and then a group of An animal that looked like a wild dog ran out of it, chasing after him.
This person is Su Ziyi, and the group of "wild dogs" following him are exactly a group of second-level monsters he found in the woods - Zi dogs. Not only do they look similar to wild dogs, but their habits are also very similar.
When Su Ziyi passed by the body of the lean old man, one or two of the group of dogs, which were already interested in carrion and flesh, fell behind and started to eat the old man's body. After Su Ziyi saw them stop, he felt relieved. He immediately raised his spiritual power, doubled his speed again, and got rid of the group of dogs in a few flashes.
After seeing that the target was gone, the Zi dog that was following behind howled a few times, but in the end he turned around helplessly and went back to compete with the two Zi dogs for food.
Su Ziyi ran a long way away in one breath, and only stopped when he was far away from the land of right and wrong, and breathed a heavy sigh of relief. He didn't know if the person who ran away yesterday would come back, but now that he had done what he could, the only thing left was how to break through the siege of the aristocratic family and return to Qixia Town.
Just thinking that with so many things happening in the Fallen Immortal Forest in the past few days, the aristocratic families in Qixia Town would inevitably increase their vigilance, so Su Ziyi decided not to go back for the time being, and would hang out on the third floor for a few days first. After he discovers people from other aristocratic families and gets information, he can go back to the middle level to make other decisions.
After going over everything in his mind, Su Ziyi finally had the heart to go hunting and fill his stomach after being hungry all day and night.
In fact, there was food in the storage bag left by the thin old man, but when Su Ziyi thought of what that man looked like before he died, he was so pretentious that he didn't even want to touch it. As for the things other than clothes and food, he didn't have much. psychological burden.
Logically speaking, as a non-aboriginal person, Su Ziyi should have the restraint and fear inherent to earthlings when encountering this kind of thing. But Su Ziyi surprisingly didn't. Even when he led the group of dogs over and the old man's body was not safe, he only felt a little uncomfortable.
Because he knows that this place is completely different from the earth.
Now he is just like a person during a famine. There are indeed roots and grass roots around that he can eat, but they are neither full nor nutritious. But at this moment, a passerby died, and there was a large bag of fine grains in his baggage. Would you reach for it after you just filled your stomach with grass roots?
Su Ziyi didn't know if others would, but he would definitely do it.
Although this incident caused some shock to him, he quickly adjusted and put the matter behind him. Because he knows that now he is just picking up the slack. Tomorrow or one day in the future, he may be like other cultivators, pointing the sword in his hand at people like him and killing them mercilessly. For survival or a resource.
Therefore, some things really shouldn’t be studied too deeply.
The inner layer is no more dangerous than the middle and outer layers. After filling his stomach, Su Ziyi chose a direction and planned to find a place to stay temporarily before sunset. As a result, while searching, he accidentally entered the territory of a third-level monster.
The entire body of this third-level monster is very purple, with only a touch of fine cyan hair at the corners of its eyes and the tip of its tail, but it still looks very majestic. Su Ziyi realized something was wrong when he met it, because this monster was the famous Sky Thunder Beast among the third-order monsters. The ability to control thunder with one hand was very domineering, and its ranking among the third-order monsters was also high. It's above average.
Therefore, Su Ziyi immediately turned around and ran away. However, the Thunder Beast was not easy to mess with, so after he tried his best to run away, he was still struck several times by the opponent's thunder, not to mention that his clothes were damaged. The feeling of tingling muscles and burning flesh was enough to make him grin. Then he found a relatively safe place and applied medicine to his wounds, deeply realizing that the inner layer was really more dangerous than he thought.
That night, Su Ziyi did not find a satisfactory place to stay, but chose a big tree to practice cross-legged all night.
Chapter 144 Battle of the Sky Thunder Beast
In the morning, Su Ziyi baked a golden anaconda egg for breakfast.
This was the unexpected surprise he found in the lean old man's storage bag. He originally just wanted to get some cloth strips to tie the wound, but he didn't expect that there was a black wooden box under the other party's pile of clothes. It was full of golden-horned anaconda eggs, with dried blood stains on them. It looks a little dirty.
But Su Ziyi didn't care about this.
The shell of the baked egg was cracked with a "dong", revealing the white protein inside. Su Ziyi took a bite and felt a pure spiritual power rush to his internal organs, instantly alleviating the pain of yesterday. The pain caused by the Thunder Beast. He immediately felt secretly happy, and then quickly solved the egg in his hand that was half as big as a man's head. The purity of the spiritual energy in the egg of Bei※Ming※You※fish
has reached the peak of the third level.
Su Ziyi patted his belly with satisfaction, and then meditated on the spot to transform his spiritual energy. When he opened his eyes again, it was already midnight, and the sun broke through the early morning mist and hung on the treetops, dazzling his eyes. Su Ziyi blinked and turned his head, and took out a two-foot-long golden sharp horn from his storage bag.
This is the horn of the golden anaconda that Su Ziyi was tracking before.
Su Ziyi also didn't expect that this thin old man would actually have such ability. Not only did he kill the golden horned anaconda that was in the late stage of foundation building despite being injured, but he also took away the two most precious parts of the opponent's body. Gone. It's just that he was unlucky later and got entangled with another golden horned anaconda and another practitioner. Otherwise, this thin old man would have really made a lot of money this time.
Shaking his head, Su Ziyi no longer thought about this, but instead focused on the sharp corners in his hands.
This sharp horn is completely pale gold, but when light shines on it, some golden light spots as fine as gravel will shine, which is very beautiful. However, Su Ziyi also knew that this was because this golden horned anaconda had not completely grown into a real golden horned anaconda. If it were a real golden horned anaconda, it would not be this pale golden color, but a pure golden color.
But even so, it's very good.
Su Ziyi found a large enough jade box in his storage bag, and put the sharp corners in it with great solemnity, determined to improve his alchemy skills as soon as possible after returning, and strive to one day refine it into an elixir. After finishing all these things, I was quite satisfied mentally and dealt with the traces he left, and continued to wander around the inner layer with my sword in hand.
With yesterday's lesson, Su Ziyi already knew that the territorial awareness of the inner layer of monsters was much stronger than that of the outer layer of monsters. They generally move in a fixed area. Apart from being used as food reserves, they have only one idea for outsiders - to expel them. The weaker ones will even be killed on the spot without any resistance.
Therefore, although the inner layer has richer cultivation resources, there are only a lot more dangers.
But Su Ziyi felt that this was the best place to train him. It has been a long time since he received the inheritance from Zi Yi. Although Zhiyi Sword Jue is said to have entered the door, it is still quite far away from the threshold of swordsmanship.
You must know that the swordsmanship of Zhiyi Sword Jue is divided into six stages: sword shape - sword energy - sword intention - sword body - sword soul - sword heart. These six stages progress from easy to difficult, from easy to difficult. , are all manifestations of the understanding of the Zhiyi Sword Art. Although Su Ziyi had imitated the first level of Zhiyi Sword Jue in a decent way, in the end, it still lacked the intended meaning and could not meet the "sword shape" requirements.
Therefore, this time, taking this opportunity, Su Ziyi decided to have a good fight here and feel the meaning of "sword shape" in actual combat.
With the final calculation in hand, Su Ziyi quickly planned his next trip.
Because of the Thunder Beast's relentless pursuit yesterday, he finally settled in a jungle corner with lush thorns. The thorns and vines here are as thick as a child's arm, and the green and black spikes are long and sharp, densely covering the forest. Therefore, except for some small animals, no other monsters will choose to live here, and this is just cheap. Su Ziyi became his natural refuge.
As soon as he left the thorn bush, he galloped directly towards the territory of the Thunder Beast.
The ordinary second-level monsters no longer pose a threat to him, and the weaker third-level monsters do not put enough pressure on him. In addition, this is the inner layer of the Meteor Fairy Forest, and unexpected situations may occur at any time. So after thinking about it again and again, Su Ziyi decided to focus on the Thunder Beast that chased him away yesterday.
After all, although he can't beat the opponent, he can outrun him.
The Sky Thunder Beast is not a very diligent monster. Apart from hunting, it spends most of the day lying lazily in its den, so Su Ziyi found the opponent without any effort at all. This time, he did not turn around and run away after meeting the opponent. Instead, he came face to face with the opponent with a sword in hand.
The monster's recognition memory of human smell is better than that of human face, so when asked about Su Ziyi's smell, the thunder beast immediately remembered what happened yesterday, and actually dared to feel proud after seeing this little bug. appeared in front of him, and he was immediately furious. He put his front paws on the edge of the nest and half arched his body, making a low threatening sound from his mouth.
Su Ziyi's answer to his threats was a wave of his sword.
In an instant, the black pupils of the yellow eyes immediately stood up like needles, and a small burst of "crackling" electricity rolled on the purple fur of the Thunder Beast, blooming a few dazzling white flowers, and then stretched out its limbs, with enough The body the size of an adult tiger rushed straight towards Su Ziyi like an arrow!
Su Ziyi tiptoed a little, and his whole body floated backwards like a wind, just in time to avoid the attack from the Sky Thunder Beast.
Then he didn't wait for the Sky Thunder Beast to fall to the ground to cushion it. He took imaginary and solid steps under his feet, and his whole figure seemed to teleport, approaching the Sky Thunder Beast. The Sky Thunder Beast was also visually confused by his footwork, so it did not pounce on him. It just stayed in place to observe his strength. When it followed Su Ziyi's figure with its eyes and looked to the right, Su Ziyi was holding a sword. But it suddenly appeared on its left, and a sword in his hand stabbed directly at an angle. On its thunderous fur, a long string of sparks appeared, burning the skin.
At this time, the Thunder Beast immediately realized that he had been fooled, and immediately the fur on his back trembled, and the electric current suddenly became several times thicker, and the white flowers stung people's eyes.
After Su Ziyi's blow did not cause any substantial damage to the opponent, he immediately stopped his attack and retreated with the same steps as before. Just as he left the place, a blue sky white thunder struck from the sky and exploded. The piece of loess cracked and the sand was scorched black. One glance showed that the power of this lightning strike should not be underestimated.
And this lightning strike was just the beginning.
Although Su Ziyi's sword did not break its fur, the humiliation of being provoked by a weak person made the Sky Thunder Beast a little angry, and it controlled white lightning one after another to chase Su Ziyi. Su Ziyi's steps were agile, and it was difficult to catch people wherever they were, so when it saw Su Ziyi's figure, it directed the lightning to strike. After a while, the entire surrounding area was filled with white lightning flashes, and the land was burnt black.
Its indiscriminate attack did cause Su Ziyi a lot of trouble.
This step is part of the first-level sword move of Zhiyi Sword Technique, which is famous for its ghostly movement. But no matter how smart his body skills are, Su Ziyi can only learn one or two levels at his current level. Therefore, as soon as he was chased by such a large-scale lightning strike from the Sky Thunder Beast, his form was immediately revealed, and his left arm was immediately hit by a bolt of lightning. The blow was bloody, and the pain was so painful that he couldn't maintain his footwork immediately.
He subconsciously leaned forward, wanting to cover his arm to see what was going on. But before he had such an idea, a dangerous signal rose in his heart, and he immediately ran forward, just in time to avoid another lightning bolt that passed close to his scalp. After the footwork was messed up, the Thunder Beast's strikes became more accurate. Now Su Ziyi was in no mood to pay attention to anything else, and was just running around trying to avoid the opponent's lightning strikes.
Seeing that he had really driven this little bug out like this, the Sky Thunder Beast was immediately overjoyed, and its contempt for Su Ziyi deepened. It did what it did before it stopped, lifted up its limbs and started running to chase Su Ziyi. Its two yellow eyes were filled with determination to win, and it was determined to bite this ignorant little insect to death today.
When Su Ziyi saw it chasing after him, his expression suddenly changed. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain and dove into the forest, starting to repeat yesterday's escape.
When the Sky Thunder Beast saw him entering the forest, he immediately roared with dissatisfaction, causing the birds in the forest to fly up and the branches and leaves to tremble. Then, just like yesterday, it followed Su Ziyi behind him. Entering the forest, Su Ziyi's eyes began to fill with blood.
This time, the Thunder Beast was really cruel.
Not only did it pursue Su Ziyi with all its strength, it also dropped thunder from time to time, either hitting the ground behind Su Ziyi or the trunk of the big tree next to Su Ziyi. The whole process made Su Ziyi's scalp numb and he had to hold back all his strength to run away. He tried to turn around and counterattack, but after seeing the opponent's exaggerated speed, he immediately gave up this unwise idea, restarted his footwork, and flashed through the dense forest, suddenly making the opponent lose the ability to strike with lightning. Accurate target.
After a few dodgers, Su Ziyi hid in the shadow of a big tree, and then continued to use the same method, using the visual blind spots of the Thunder Beast to shuttle under the shade of various trees. After putting a little distance away from the Sky Thunder Beast, he touched the tree trunk with his toes and climbed onto the tree. Then he used the height of the tree trunk to move his position above the forest.
When he climbed up the tree, the Sky Thunder Beast completely lost its target. It sniffed around in the air, but in the end it could only raise its head and look at the tree above its head and roared unwillingly.
Because it can't climb trees.
To be on the safe side, Su Ziyi walked around in the forest for a while before heading towards the thorn jungle. He also got himself some food along the way. It wasn't until he got into the forest that he took out the elixir from the storage bag and took it. The pain caused by the Thunder Beast was suppressed. But even with the elixir, his face was still a little pale.
Unlike yesterday, the intensity of the lightning strike he suffered today was much greater, so not only was his skin sore, but his internal organs also suffered some internal injuries from the numbing current, so he was disabled for most of the day. After some time, he recovered. Then he lit a fire to roast the prey while summarizing the success or failure of the day.
To be honest, Su Ziyi was actually very dissatisfied with today's test.
He had already seen the secret of Zhiyi Sword Technique in that Yunsheng illusion. Although he didn't force himself to be as good as Zi Yi now, Dan shouldn't be forced to run away after just one move.
When he thought of this, a surge of energy and blood surged in his heart, which made him feel very uncomfortable and couldn't even eat much. So after meditating and adjusting his breath, he picked up the sword again and continued to make sword moves. All his mind was focused on the sword in his hand, and his eyes and soul followed each move in his hand. Unknowingly, , the whole person's mind was completely absorbed in it, and he completely forgot where he was at this time and when.
By the time his eyes regained clarity, it was already the next morning.
After practicing swordplay all night, Su Ziyi didn't feel any muscle fatigue at all, but instead felt full of energy. He stood under the roof made of thorns, rehearsing the attack of the Sky Thunder Beast in his mind, and how he should deal with it. As he thought about it, the sword in his hand also started to make gestures. This gesture directly made his stomach growl. It's time to scream.
At this time, it was almost noon, so Su Ziyi did not plan to challenge the Thunder Beast again today. He walked around outside, looked for some food, and checked to see if there were any signs of outsiders. After confirming that no one had entered the area, he returned to the camp with peace of mind, filled his stomach, and meditated. Restore some excessive spiritual energy.
When the sun rose again, he opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and after making all the preparations, he once again took the sword and headed to the territory of the Thunder Beast.
This time Su Ziyi's appearance made the Thunder Beast even more angry. Before seeing anyone, just asking about the smell, the Thunder Beast jumped out of its nest, and struck Su Ziyi with a bolt of lightning. Su Ziyi, who had been prepared for it, dodged with a leap of his feet, and then used his footwork, While dodging thunder and lightning attacks, he kept getting closer to the Sky Thunder Beast.
Zhiyi Sword Technique, the man and the sword become one.
The power of the sword creates the power of man, and the agility of man creates the spirit of the sword.
When the sword blade scratched the opponent's back without any effect, and when he was threatened by the opponent's mouth, Su Ziyi was not as panicked as yesterday. He bent his waist and knees, and bent his back to let the opponent jump over him and land. It was in vain, but the tip of his sword pierced the opponent's soft abdominal fur, causing the opponent to fly into a rage and chase Su Ziyi even crazier than yesterday.
This look was obviously not something Su Ziyi could withstand, so after his back was scratched by the opponent's claws and his body was struck several times by lightning, Su Ziyi immediately turned around and ran away, causing the Thunder Beast behind him. The roaring continued.
