Chapter 103 The nail clippers broke?
After getting down the cliff, I picked up the rock cabbage that was thrown in the grass. After taking a look to make sure it was not broken, I wrapped it in a plastic bag and put it in my backpack.
Chen Jue glanced at the time on his phone and saw that it was almost 2 p.m., so he returned to the stream where he had been before, sat on a big rock, ate some compressed biscuits, and drank the last bottle of energy drink.
Just now, when he was climbing the cliff, he had unleashed too much hidden energy, and incidentally, he had also broken through a finger skill to perfection, which accelerated the digestion of food in his stomach and intestines, and consumed his physical strength very quickly.
After resting for 20 minutes, Chen Jue felt much stronger and got up to return.
Although I didn't find the ideal medicine today, at least I practiced my finger skills and body movements, which is considered a small gain.
By the time we returned to Wazhai along the same route, it was already gradually getting dark.
He went into the house and took off his camouflage uniform that was full of scratches and holes, and changed his almost deformed hiking boots. After a nearly 100-kilometer journey through the mountains and dense forests, the newly bought camouflage uniform had been scratched by some bushes and thorns along the way and was directly scrapped.
As for this pair of hiking boots, although the quality is quite good, it still could not withstand Chen Jue's damage.
When I was climbing a rock wall before, I used too much force in my legs and feet and squeezed the boots out of shape, so that I felt a little awkward on the way back.
Moreover, Chen Jue was traveling to places that were rarely visited, and most of the paths had not been trodden by predecessors. He used his body to open and explore the way himself, so it was normal for the losses to be a little greater.
As for the backpack I brought, there were also a few shallow scratches, but fortunately they did not penetrate the outer layer of fabric and could still be used.
…
After taking a hot shower and changing into casual clothes, Chen Jue left Wazhai before it was completely dark and ordered a large table of food at a local restaurant in the town.
Lacquer chicken, stone pot baba, Lao Wo ham, bamboo tube steamed eggs, and pilaf. Since Chen Jue had consumed a lot of energy during the day, he ate almost to his heart's content.
After eating and drinking, Chen Jue went to the town to buy a better quality jacket, combat pants and a pair of more professional hiking boots. The boots looked like the type worn by foreign special forces seen on TV and in movies. The store owner said that these were outdoor combat boots, which were better than ordinary hiking boots.
Chen Jue also tried the strength of the clothes fabric and boots leather, as well as their waterproof and breathable properties. They were indeed much better than the camouflage clothes and deformed boots he had bought before. Only then did he scan the code and pay with satisfaction, spending a total of more than 3,000 yuan.
Good outdoor equipment is indeed very expensive, just like skiing and golf, which were originally played by rich people. They have only gradually become popular in recent years as the economy has improved.
As it is close to the Gongshan tourist attraction, the shops in the town are doing very prosperous business, and tourist buses often stop here to either stay overnight or have a meal.
Chen Jue, a foreigner, wandered around here and often saw tourists of all kinds entering and leaving the town's homestays and local restaurants. He didn't feel that he stood out from the crowd.
Carrying two large bags, he walked slowly back to Wazhai, and heard a ding sound in his ears.
It turns out that the skill of flying over eaves and walking on walls has also been upgraded to the next level!
He walked nearly 200,000 steps in the whole day. Chen Jue mastered the Taoist body skills that he had just learned yesterday to the maximum level in just one day.
【Flying over eaves and walking on walls (perfect)】!
A warm current flowed between his legs. Chen Jue felt that his legs, which had been a little sore, began to become more flexible and agile, and an indescribable feeling of lightness surged throughout his body.
Taking a look at the annotations of this perfect skill, the words [light as a swallow] came into view.
[As light as a swallow]: Fly over the eaves and walls, climb over the walls and flip over the houses, as light as a swallow, flying through the air!
Bonus effect: This state can greatly improve the player's physical lightness, and has a great effect on climbing, crawling, jumping, and other physical movements.
Another skill was completed, which made Chen Jue happy. Just by taking a look at the annotation, Chen Jue couldn't help but think of the famous gentleman on the beam and the flea on the drum in Water Margin, Shi Qian.
It seems that that hero also has the skill of flying over eaves and walls, but he doesn't act in an upright manner. Even though he has mastered the skill, he can only be a thief on the roof. I wonder which one is more powerful compared to mine?
"It's perfect! I'll go back and learn a new light-kung fu technique. The more the better." Thinking this, Chen Jue returned to Wang Biao's old house.
I feel that although I didn’t find any rare wild medicinal herbs after a whole day of crossing mountains and hills, I still gained a lot.
In particular, the speed and perfection of Qinggong and Finger Kung Fu were just as efficient as practicing at the beach.
I glanced at the time and it was already past 9 o'clock. I felt that my biological clock was more than an hour behind that in Vancouver. The sun set later and I had dinner later, but my body did not feel uncomfortable.
Since he had expended a lot of physical strength and energy during the day, Chen Jue did not continue practicing martial arts at night. Instead, he boiled some hot water to soak his feet and trimmed his fingernails and toenails with a nail clipper.
He found that after practicing, his fingernails and toenails began to become tough and thick. With the added bonus of awakening the [Gold Needle Iron Fingers], his fingernails were as hard as iron. He could even use the ordinary quality nail clippers in his hand to bend the blade, which became blunt and could not be closed no matter how hard he pressed. He could not cut the nails at all.
“Fuck!”
" I have to go to town tomorrow to buy a few more of good quality ones." Chen Jue was a little helpless.
After soaking my feet, I lay comfortably on the bed, browsed my phone for a while and read the downloaded martial arts and Taoist scriptures. It was after 11 o'clock before I fell asleep peacefully.
…
I slept until 6 o'clock the next day, got up, washed up, and found the Taoist light Kung Fu that I had chosen last night.
This kind of light Kung Fu is called "Picking Flowers and Catching Butterflies" and it is also a Wudang secret Kung Fu. Practicing it can be blessed by [Lü Zu's Enlightenment].
However, unlike the flying over eaves and walking on walls skill which focuses on training the legs, this flying through flowers and catching butterflies skill focuses on training the body's reaction. It mainly practices forward and backward, and left and right movements. It can be said to be a skill that emphasizes the coordinated reaction ability of the whole body.
After practicing around the two clotheslines in the yard for a few minutes, the words [Flower-piercing and Butterfly-catching Skill Lv0 (1/100)] appeared on the panel.
I went down the mountain and had breakfast in the town. I came too early and some shops were closed, so I couldn't buy nail clippers. I came back and packed my backpack again, with twice as many compressed biscuits and energy drinks as yesterday, and a box of Panax notoginseng oral liquid in case of emergency.
Yesterday's round trip of nearly 100 kilometers was just a small test to see if I could adapt to the life of practicing exercises in the primitive dense forest of Gongshan Nature Reserve.
I found that after the trip, apart from the fact that the place is rarely visited and uninhabited, it is actually not that difficult.
So today Chen Jue decided to take real action and try it out by spending a night in the mountains.
After carrying his schoolbag and going out and locking the door, Chen Jue glanced at the key in his hand and felt that it would be a burden to carry it with him. He was afraid that he would accidentally lose it when entering the forest.
Because yesterday the camouflage uniform was torn by branches and thorns on the road, and there was a hole in the pocket.
So when there was no one around, Chen Jue used his wall-walking skills to leap over five meters high on the earth wall and placed the key flat on the roof of the earth house where no one else could reach.
Normal people who are afraid of forgetting to bring their keys when going out would at most hide their keys under the doormat or put them in the dark corner of the fire hydrant in the corridor.
I guess Chen Jue is the only weirdo in the world who could think of hiding the key on the roof!
