Chapter 033 The Lost Spiritual Power
"Sir, there are no claw marks here!"
In a small cave, Wen Caiting and Kankan carefully looked at several branching paths, but did not find any paw prints of wild animals.
There were no vines clinging to the walls of the cave.
"I clearly came here along the passage with claw marks, so how come there are no claw marks? There's no reason..."
Ni Kun touched his chin, frowned and talked to himself.
Wan Wan also imitated Ni Kun, holding her chest with one hand to highlight her perfectly curved figure, and holding her chin with the other hand in the shape of an eight, frowning and saying:
"Could it be that there is a secret passage with a more hidden entrance halfway through the passage we came here?"
Ni Kun nodded slowly: "It's possible."
Wen Caiting asked: "Then do you want to go back and look for it?"
Just as Ni Kun was about to nod, he heard a faint chaos and noise coming from the passage he came from, including various panicked screams, cries for help, and the low and terrifying roars of beasts.
Hearing the low and terrifying roar of the beast, Ni Kun's eyes jumped slightly:
"What's going on? Could it be that too many people came in and alarmed the Fire Kirin?"
At this time, Kanan was also standing at the entrance of the passage she came from, listening attentively for a while, and said with a strange expression:
"Many people are running wildly in the passage, as if they are trying their best to escape. So, do we still need to go back the same way?"
Ni Kun closed his eyes and pondered for a moment before saying decisively:
"Don't go back, just pick any passage to go in!"
He said this without hesitation, randomly selected the soldiers and pointed to a passage and went in first.
Xianxian quickly followed him and asked:
"Just now I heard a roar of an animal, like a cow but not a cow, like a tiger but not a tiger. I only vaguely heard the sound, but it scared me so much that my heart was beating wildly... Sir, what kind of monster is that?"
Ni Kun had a clear purpose in mind as he walked along the way. He first looked for a passage with claw marks of wild beasts, and then picked the fiery red exotic fruits without hesitation. Therefore, Kanan was certain that Ni Kun must know the secret of the cave and what the monster was.
"That's the Fire Kirin." Ni Kun had nothing to hide, and said in a deep voice:
"This beast is covered with scales that are impervious to swords and spears, and can emit flames that are strong enough to melt gold and iron. Even the so-called 'Grand Master' may not be able to break its skin without a magic weapon. With your martial arts skills, if you encounter it, you will definitely die."
Fire Kirin?
Wan Wan and Wen Caiting were shocked when they heard this: "There really are Qilins in this world?"
Ni Kun said: "Not just Qilin? Maybe there are also Tyrannosaurus and Demon Dragon."
As for the Tyrannosaurus in Fengyun, he didn't know if it would travel through time. But the "demon dragon" definitely existed, because the demon dragon was in the "War God Temple", guarding the War God Temple where the "War God Atlas" was stored.
Kankan was somewhat skeptical about what Ni Kun said. After all, she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, so who knew what the roaring beast was?
However, the world is changing too fast. Since the emergence of the "Moon Worship Cult" twenty years ago, all kinds of martial arts masters of unknown origin and even strange demons and ghosts have emerged one after another. Even if a "Fire Unicorn" really appeared, it is not impossible.
"Sir, can you defeat that fire unicorn?" asked Kanan curiously.
Ni Kunyun said calmly: "It is possible to beat him, but there is no need."
Kanna got to the bottom of it and asked, "Why is it not necessary?"
The corner of Ni Kun's mouth twitched slightly, and he glanced at Qian Qian subtly:
"There may be only one Fire Kirin in the world. It is an endangered species that is rare and extinct. It's fine if I don't protect it, but why do I have to fight it?"
"..." Kanan was speechless. She only felt that Ni Kun's thinking angle was truly unique. He was worthy of being called the Sword Immortal.
At this time, the three of them ran for a while and came to a cave.
This cave is not very big, but the walls are covered with vines and there are many blood bodhi trees growing on them.
There was no need for Ni Kun to give any orders, as Kankan and Wen Caiting stepped forward on their own initiative and picked the blood bodhi trees at full speed.
Ni Kun returned as usual, carrying the package and collecting the fruits picked by the two witches.
After sweeping away dozens of blood bodhisattvas, the three of them searched the forks in the cave walls for a while, but still couldn't find the claw marks of the fire unicorn, so they had to choose one at random to enter.
There are countless branches in Lingyun Cave, which lead to all directions, like a maze.
Ni Kun and his two companions wandered around for several hours, passing through more than ten caves of different sizes. They also came across three or four caves where Blood Bodhi trees grew. They picked two or three hundred Blood Bodhi trees. Although the harvest was quite rich, gradually, they didn't know where they were.
"Master, where are we now?" In a dark and narrow cave, the voice of Kankan was suddenly heard.
"Didn't you take note of the route along the way?"
"I remembered it at first, but this place is so interconnected, like a maze. I got dizzy after turning around..."
"You didn't say anything about leaving a mark?"
Kanan blinked twice, looking innocent:
"Sir, I saw you walking with confidence and thought you remembered everything. You are a great swordsman, you wouldn't have forgotten the path, right?"
"...Hahaha, of course I remember it." Ni Kun laughed with gritted teeth.
"So where should we go now?"
"This way." Ni Kun hesitated for a moment and pointed to a fork in the road.
The three of them entered the cave entrance, ran quickly through the winding and rugged passage, and came to an empty cave.
There is no blood bodhi tree in this cave, but in the low-lying area in the middle, there is a pond of half an acre in size and five feet deep.
There was a soft, cold light emanating from the bottom of the pond, penetrating the clear, calm water and illuminating the cave quite brightly.
"Rest here for a while."
After running non-stop in the cave for several hours, even though Ni Kun had eaten a lot of snake gall and his endurance had increased greatly after being "reborn", he was now feeling hungry and thirsty.
So after proposing a rest, he took out a blood bodhi and threw it into his mouth without hesitation.
The effects of Blood Bodhi are very comprehensive. Not only can it "cure serious injuries" and heal injuries to the point of bringing the dead back to life, it can also greatly increase strength, strengthen the body, and even be used to satisfy hunger and quench thirst.
In other words, even if you don't have any food or water with you, as long as you have enough blood bodhi, you can live a comfortable life in Lingyun Cave.
Kanan, who had been secretly observing Ni Kun's every move, was stunned when she saw him actually throw a strange fruit into his mouth:
" Hey, this exotic fruit is not poisonous? Can I try one?"
As he spoke, he had already picked up a blood bodhi in his hand and was about to throw it into his mouth.
Ni Kun remained calm and said calmly:
"Of course you can eat one. Anyway, I am indestructible to all poisons."
"..." Kanan had a resentful look on her face and put the Blood Bodhi down with a pout.
Ni Kun had a calm expression on his face but he was laughing wildly in his heart. He thought that it was always the Yin Gui witch who fooled others, but he didn't expect that there would be a time when she would be fooled by me, the great Ni Kun!
My great Ni Kun is indeed a partner of justice and the nemesis of evil!
While laughing in his heart, he had already bitten into the blood bodhi and tasted its sweet flavor.
It was like drinking a strong drink, the hot and sweet juice was like a line of fire, flowing slowly along the esophagus into the stomach. As soon as it entered the stomach, the line of fire exploded, and warm currents rushed in all directions, instantly spreading through the limbs and bones.
Ni Kun's spirits lifted, his hunger and thirst disappeared, and he felt as if he had endless strength all over his body. He immediately got into position and started to use the "Bull Demon Power Fist".
There are three forms of the Bull Demon's Great Strength Fist, namely Bull Demon's Horn-Topping, Bull Demon's Hoof-Stepping and Bull Demon's Skin Moving. Each form has one hundred variations, which are profound and complex. You can exercise the muscles, tendons and membranes from deep to shallow.
Ni Kun originally planned to use the spiritual power of the Blood Bodhi to assist him in , digest the spiritual power, and practice the Bull Demon's Great Strength Method to the basics in one go.
But when he had just practiced the 56th of the 100 variations of the first move, Bull Demon Top Horn, the warm current that was rushing through his body disappeared.
The effect of the exercise was also very general. I just broke out in a layer of sweat and my muscles felt slightly warm. It was far from the entry level.
Of course, practicing the Bull Demon's Great Power Method does not necessarily require the assistance of elixirs.
As long as you have enough food and meat, you can practice. But in that case, the efficiency of practice will much lower, and you can only accumulate day by day, step by step, which is not as efficient as the assistance of spiritual medicine.
"Disappeared again?"
Ni Kun stopped his boxing, closed his eyes and stood still, experiencing it carefully.
This time, because the spiritual power of the Blood Bodhi was exceptionally strong, Ni Kun finally had a clear feeling and vaguely sensed where the spiritual power in the form of a warm current had disappeared to.
It seemed that ninety-nine percent of the spiritual power was absorbed by the little finger of his left hand!
