Chapter 105: First Test of "Walking in Various Worlds"
Although Ni Kun threw all the trivial matters to Zhu Yuyan and others, he didn't care about anything else and just stayed in the bedroom to concentrate on practicing.
Although he had gained the "Water Spirit Bloodline" and his kidneys were greatly strengthened, he was full of energy. As long as he didn't practice the flying sword and didn't consume a lot of energy, blood and spirit, he didn't need to sleep deliberately. He only needed to take a nap every day to recover, which could save several hours of sleep time...
But he still felt that there was not enough time.
He had to practice external kung fu and light kung fu, and study and figure out the newly acquired "Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound". These few practices and research alone consumed most of his daily time.
Not to mention the need to cultivate inner strength to charge the [Traveling Through All Realms] function of the Samsara Watch.
He was so busy that he had no time to study and practice "Breaking Evil and Returning Pupils".
After seven days, he deeply felt why some martial arts fanatics, once they are obsessed with practicing martial arts, become just like otakus addicted to games, neglecting food and sleep, becoming unkempt, and even not attracted to cute girls.
Because there is simply not enough time!
Moreover, what he practiced were basically "training methods" that required long-term practice and accumulation to improve the basic level of cultivation.
It is different from the “fighting style” of martial arts used to defeat the enemy.
As for fighting methods, those with exceptional talents can quickly apply martial arts skills they practice in actual combat, and some can even learn it with just one look.
For example, Shi Feixuan, as soon as she comprehended the "Heavenly Sword Art", could immediately use it in actual combat and produce miraculous results.
For example, Zhu Yuyan and her apprentice Kankan, after acquiring so many practical martial arts skills, were able to master them quickly and fight with great success.
But no matter whether it is Shi Feixuan, Zhu Yuyan, or Kankan, if they want to improve their basic cultivation and increase their skills, they also have to work hard and accumulate bit by bit over many years.
After all, Ni Kun loves peace, cherishes life, and values martial ethics, believing in winning people over with virtue.
Therefore, he practiced martial arts not for the purpose of being brave and aggressive or fighting with others, but just to strengthen his body, prolong his life, improve the quality of life, and increase his partner's happiness.
Therefore, he has been focusing on training and has not studied much about martial arts fighting techniques.
Even though he had developed several killing skills from the Fire Spirit and Wood Spirit bloodlines, and practiced the art of wielding a sword to chop melons and vegetables, this was only for self-defense.
He really loves peace.
Otherwise, why would you practice Qinggong so hard?
Isn't it just to avoid unnecessary conflicts by actively moving?
Unfortunately, even if he did not practice those aggressive fighting styles, and only used all his time to practice the most time-killing training methods and pacifist light skills, he still felt that twenty-four hours in a day was indeed too short.
It would be great if there were forty-eight hours in a day without affecting life expectancy.
Or it would be nice to have enough reincarnation points and origin crystals.
In that way, you can skip the practice steps, and through initiation, instantly learn Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound and Breaking Evil Returning Pupils, and directly obtain a certain level of cultivation, saving a lot of time.
"It's a pity that there is nothing there."
Ni Kun pulled out his reincarnation watch, took a look at his account balance, and was immediately deeply hurt by the tight data.
Reincarnation point: 1657.
Origin crystal: white × 1, gray × 4.
The account balance is just this little, and whether it is Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound or Breaking Evil and Returning Pupils, it requires two thousand reincarnation points and two white crystals before one can be initiated and learn them.
"The reincarnation points are easy to get. I just need to save another 343 points to make 2,000 points. But where can I find the white crystal?
"Even if I can use four gray crystals to synthesize a white crystal, I still have to save up another 500 points for the synthesis fee..."
Both reincarnation points and origin crystals are difficult to obtain, and the key is that there is no particularly clear way to obtain them.
The only clear way is to kill the enemy.
But the rewards for killing are really not much.
He killed so many Japanese masters and even destroyed the emperor, but he only got such a small reward.
Now that all the Japanese masters have been killed, he can't just kill all the Koga and Iga ninjas who have surrendered to earn the kill reward, right?
Not to mention that he is not yet so cruel.
As for whether there will be a kill reward for killing your own subordinates, it is still unclear.
Maybe it will even deduct your reincarnation points.
Ni Kun shook his head and sighed, then called up the [Traveling Through All Realms] function and checked the energy bar.
As of today, the energy bar has been charged to [9.5/100], which is still a long way from being full.
“According to the basic rules of reincarnation, traveling through the realms may be the best way to obtain reincarnation points, origin crystals, and even various rare treasures.
"Even if the main god has lost contact and the world is in chaos, since the reincarnation world still exists and has not been completely destroyed, some underlying rules should still exist. It's worth a try. It's just that the charging is too slow..."
There is nothing you can do if the charging is too slow, you can only work on it slowly.
At that moment, Ni Kun began to meditate and practice his internal energy to charge the reincarnation watch.
Before I knew it, two hours had passed.
Just as Ni Kun was about to finish charging for today, a cold electronic voice suddenly sounded in his mind:
[Walking through the Realms] The energy has exceeded 10 points. Do you want to walk through the realms?
"Huh?"
Ni Kun exclaimed in surprise and activated the [Walking Through All Realms] function. He saw that there was indeed only [10.2/100] in the energy tank. He was very surprised:
"I have only charged more than 10 points, which is far from full. Can I still travel through the realms?"
The cold electronic sound of the Samsara watch prompted:
"If you charge 10 points, you can travel through the worlds and stay in the destination world for 10 days. If you charge 20 points, you can stay for 20 days, and so on.
"Before the end of the Reincarnation period, the Reincarnator can continue to recharge. Every point of recharge can extend the stay by one day.
"Do you want to walk through the realms?"
Ni Kun pondered for a while and asked:
"When I travel through the worlds and shuttle into other worlds, how do I calculate the time of the 'anchored' base world?"
Samsara Watch says:
"The flow of time in the base world is stagnant. No matter how long the reincarnator stays in the destination world, in the base world, the round trip is only a moment."
Wouldn't time flow synchronously?
Ni Kun was refreshed: "Then my life span..."
"It is calculated based on the actual time the reincarnator has spent. That is, the longer the reincarnator stays in the destination world, the shorter the life span will be."
Ni Kun curled his lips. Well, there was no way to find a loophole and extend his life in disguise.
After thinking for a while, he continued to ask:
"Can I specify the destination world to travel to?"
"Unable to contact the Lord God, missing data... Traveling through the worlds is completely random, and the destination world cannot be determined..."
Completely random?
Not sure?
Isn’t that risk too great?
What if I was randomly sent to a high-energy world where monsters roam the ground and immortals are worse than dogs? Wouldn’t that be fun?
"Since the main god has lost contact, there are no mandatory tasks. Reincarnators can choose to return at any time. However, the energy will not be returned."
This is reasonable. If you find that something is not right, you can always stop it. The worst that can happen is that you just waste energy.
"Should we go on a journey through the realms?"
Ni Kun pondered for a while, calculated his trump cards, and said to himself:
"Anyway, time doesn't pass in the world of The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty. It only takes a moment to go back and forth, so it won't delay anything. If you get into trouble, you can always come back... Then why don't we go and test the waters?"
The main god has lost contact, reincarnation is out of order, the world is in chaos, and all kinds of intrusions, Ni Kun's sense of crisis is no less.
He even felt that if he could not truly transcend, then even if he cultivated to immortality in this world, it would not be safe.
You never know when something irresistible will fall from the sky and turn the whole world into ashes.
If you want to transcend, you have to make yourself infinitely strong in the shortest time possible and try to find out the "truth of the world."
"The Moon Worshiper cannot see the Reincarnation Watch and cannot become a reincarnator, so he can only choose to destroy the world, hoping that by destroying the world, he can clear away all the 'falsehoods' and see the truth of the world.
"But I have the status of a reserve reincarnationist, and I may be able to see the truth of the world through [Walking in Various Worlds]."
When he went out to sea in Jiangdu before, taking into account the possibility of accidents at sea, Ni Kun filled one-third of the space in the mustard seed ring with food and water.
That was nine cubic meters of food and water, enough for several people to eat and drink for a long time.
As a result, the sea voyage went smoothly and the water reserves prepared earlier were never used.
The items in the mustard seed ring will always be in a state of "time stillness". No matter how long they are stored, they will not deteriorate until the space in the mustard seed ring is destroyed.
Since the water reserves are sufficient, even if we are randomly transported to a desolate mountain or an overseas deserted island, we will be prepared. Ni Kun immediately said silently in his heart:
"Begin your journey through the realms."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Samsara Watch vibrated with a hum, and the [Traveling Through All Realms] energy slot was instantly emptied. A faint blue light burst out from the watch and transformed into a faint blue light curtain, enveloping Ni Kun.
Then the light curtain suddenly shrank, and Ni Kun turned into an invisible dot. It jumped lightly and disappeared suddenly.
…
The world is spinning, the colors are blurry, and I feel dizzy...
Ni Kun felt as if he was rolled into a ball and then forced into a washing machine. Even with his current physical condition, he could not bear it. He was in a daze and dizzy for an unknown period of time before the discomfort gradually subsided and he regained consciousness.
As soon as he woke up, he found himself lying in a patch of dry grass half a person's height.
The sky was cloudless and the sunlight was somewhat dazzling.
"What world is this?"
He sat up slowly and checked his body. His hands and feet were intact and he was fine. His watch and mustard seed ring were still there, but his hairstyle had become a flat top. His gorgeous clothes and fur coats had been replaced with a somewhat old black combat uniform, and his shoes had been replaced with a pair of black combat boots.
"Does it include a costume changing service? Look at this outfit, maybe it's set in a modern world?"
Ni Kun felt a little excited. He supported himself with his hands and stood up. He looked around, but saw a desolate scene with tall and short withered grass everywhere. In some places in the distance, there were even signs of desertification.
"What the hell is this place?"
Ni Kun wondered to himself, isn't this random teleportation among the various realms too hasty?
They actually threw him into this deserted and desolate place.
Sighing helplessly, Ni Kun was about to summon the Nightmare Horse when he suddenly heard a rustling sound of something running through the grass at high speed from behind, followed by the sound of something breaking through the air with great force.
Looking back, he saw a strange and extremely ferocious monster that was breaking through the grass and rushing towards him fiercely.
Ni Kun felt that this monster looked familiar. After thinking for a moment, he realized that this was the alien monster in the movie "A Quiet Place" that captured its prey by sound.
Did I randomly come to the world of "A Quiet Place" this time?
Faced with this alien monster that moved faster than tigers and leopards, Ni Kun was not at all panicked.
He calmly took out a slender willow branch from his mustard seed ring, shook his hand, and it turned into a willow whip that was three meters long, as thick as a thumb, and covered with serrated sharp thorns. It quickly wrapped around the monster from head to tail.
Not giving the monster a chance to struggle, Ni Kun had an idea and tightened his grip like a willow whip snake.
With a sharp cutting sound, the monster was strangled into more than a dozen pieces, and its flesh and blood were scattered all over the ground.
Just after he chopped the monster into pieces, a crisp gunshot was heard. Ni Kun felt as if his shoulder was hit hard by a sledgehammer, followed by a burning pain.
His current body training has made his arms, shoulders, and legs as strong as copper skin and steel bones, and ordinary cold weapons cannot break through their defenses at all.
But modern rifles are still a bit weak. I feel like the bullet has broken through the flesh and embedded in the shoulder bone.
Before he could recover, gunshots rang out again. He felt another sharp pain in his vest, and the area below the gunshot site became numb. His legs instantly lost consciousness and he fell to the ground.
Well, the bullet hit his spine directly and caused serious damage.
His spine hasn't been trained to be steel yet, so of course it can't withstand the powerful modern firearms.
"You dare to shoot me from behind? You are simply asking for your own death!"
Ni Kun was furious and fell into the grass. Wood texture quickly appeared on his skin and he turned into a wooden sculpture in the blink of an eye.
When transformed into a wooden man, the fire spirit bloodline cannot be activated, but the water spirit bloodline is not affected and can still be activated.
Under the sunlight from the sky and the nourishment of Shui Ling's blood, the wounds on Ni Kun's shoulders and back healed quickly, the two deformed bullets were squeezed out, and his lower body also regained consciousness.
At the same time, he felt a little strange.
With his current level of cultivation, even if he has not deliberately cultivated his soul, under the passive feedback of the Human Immortal Martial Arts, his soul has continued to grow stronger along with his physical body, and his mental perception has become increasingly sharp.
He has a strong premonition of murderous intent and hostility directed at him.
Although it is far from the situation of "the cicadas know the coming of autumn before the wind blows", being pointed at with a gun should at least give rise to signs of crisis such as tingling scalp and prickles on skin.
But now he was shot twice without any warning. It makes no sense at all.
"How can there be such a killer? Even the assassin of the Butian Pavilion who is the best at hiding his aura and restraining his murderous intent will reveal a hint of murderous intent the moment he strikes!"
At this time, the gunshot rang out again, hitting Ni Kun's back with a muffled sound.
Ni Kun was furious. He rolled over and dived into the bushes. He looked at the gunman through the gaps in the bushes, and his anger suddenly disappeared.
Because the person who fired the gun was not a human.
It is a tattered "skeleton".
Um, Metal Skull.
The metal skeleton, which looked exactly like an ordinary model of the Skeleton Terminator, was missing its left arm. It held a worn-out AK rifle in its right hand and walked towards Ni Kun with a staggering and limping step.
His speed was as slow as that of an old man on his last legs, but his hands were steady and his gun was accurate, and the first three single shots all hit Ni Kun. Then there was another single shot burst, and if Ni Kun had not dodged quickly, he would have been hit again.
“…”
Ni Kun was speechless.
No wonder I didn't detect any murderous intent.
Robots do not have the "intention to kill" that comes from subjective initiative, or biological emotions such as hatred and anger. They just mechanically execute established programs.
Not to mention this low-level robot that looks like a tattered skeleton, even if it is a high-level intelligent Terminator, I am afraid there will be no real "intention to kill" - unless it can evolve real emotions like the upright T800.
If you want to sense the "murderous intent" of this "ruthless" robot, you probably have to reach the spiritual realm of "the cicada knows the coming of autumn before the wind blows".
But the problem is...
How come the alien monster from Quiet Place appears in front, and then a tattered Terminator robot appears behind?
What kind of world is this?
How could it be so weird?
"Is it really the same as the world of The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, a world full of all kinds of chaos? Well, the main god has lost contact, and the reincarnation cycle is in chaos. It's not surprising that anything happens..."
Ni Kun muttered to himself as Willow Whip suddenly jumped out from the bushes like a snake and landed at the feet of the Terminator robot. It instantly wrapped around its legs and pulled it to the ground, then wrapped around its entire body and strangled it with great force.
However, although this Terminator robot looks shabby, its skeleton is very tough.
It creaked when the willow whip strangled it and sparked when the saw teeth cut it, but there was no sign of deformation or breakage.
He was still struggling, trying to break the willow whip and break free from the restraints.
"Not bad, very solid."
Ni Kun stood up, strode to the robot, looked down at its flashing red electronic eyes, and said:
"Can you speak? Tell me, where is this place?"
The robot didn't answer, but just struggled desperately.
"It doesn't look like a smart model."
Ni Kun shook his head regretfully, untied himself from the wooden man, flames rose from his hands, and threw a fireball at its metal head.
boom!
Flames exploded, wrapping around its head and burning fiercely, directly burning its electronic eyes and destroying the chip inside its skull. Finally, flames burned the metal head to half-melt before slowly extinguishing.
Ni Kun put away the willow whip, picked up the old AK and fiddled with it for a while, successfully removed the magazine, and then took out the bullets and counted them .
"Fifteen rounds of bullets, barely enough for fun."
He reloaded the bullets, reset the magazine, tried the operation, and soon fired a shot.
After only one test shot, Ni Kun did not try again. He put away his rifle, summoned the Nightmare Horse, jumped on its back, looked around from a high vantage point, chose a direction where there were no obvious signs of desertification, and galloped away.
On horseback, Ni Kun called up the reincarnation watch, checked the account balance, and was immediately refreshed.
The origin crystal did not change, but the reincarnation points increased by 3 points to 1660 points.
"An alien monster and a broken terminator, and I got 3 kill rewards... It's not much, but it means my thinking is correct! Traveling through the realms can really earn more rewards!"
He killed Japanese soldiers and even ordinary samurai, but did not receive any reward of reincarnation points.
Now, you can earn 3 points by killing two monsters at random. This is absolutely good news.
Because there are a lot of alien monsters or Terminators. If you can find their nests, wouldn’t it be fun to get points?
At that moment, Ni Kun deliberately slowed down the speed of the horse, only letting the Nightmare Horse run at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, and ordered it to deliberately trample the ground heavily to make a noise, hoping to attract more monsters.
This trick was really effective. Soon, several monsters emerged from the ground and pounced towards Ni Kunfei.
Ni Kun raised his hand and pointed. A line of yellow light burst out from his fingertips. With a clang, it blossomed into a three-foot sword aura. It flew out like lightning, turned several times in the air, and left traces of light. In a few seconds, he killed all the monsters.
Seeing the additional 12 reincarnation points, Ni Kun thought to himself:
"Is the reward for killing an alien monster 2 points?
"Then wouldn't a normal model of Terminator only be worth 1 point?
“Well, ordinary Terminators are just mass-produced industrial products after all, so it’s only natural that the rewards are smaller.
"As long as you kill enough, you'll make money."
Put away your thoughts and continue riding forward.
It was already dusk when a huge city outline appeared in Ni Kun's vision.
He killed more than fifty monsters along the way, adding more than one hundred reincarnation points to his account balance.
Ni Kun was quite satisfied with the harvest, but it was getting dark and he didn't want to camp in the wild, so he rode his horse towards the outline of the city.
The closer he got to the huge city outline, the more solemn Ni Kun's expression became.
Because as the distance got closer, he could see more clearly.
It was indeed the outline of a city, but it was an abandoned city.
The rolling high-rise buildings, glass curtain walls, large billboards, and LCD screens are all in ruins, some are even left with only empty frames, looking like huge city tombstones.
There are no roads to be seen around the city, and the road surface has been eroded by weeds and vines.
In the weeds, one could vaguely see broken cars with only empty shells left, as well as scattered white bones and skulls.
"Could it be that I have randomly come to a doomsday world created by alien monsters and the Terminator?"
This doomsday-like abandoned city was enough to make him puzzled.
But when he rode his horse along the road covered with weeds and vines and entered the abandoned city, a new discovery made him even more surprised and puzzled.
I saw an intersection filled with the wreckage of various vehicles, and dozens of ragged and skinny figures were wandering unconsciously at the intersection with staggering steps.
Looking at those staggering figures that occasionally stopped, raised their heads to sniff, and occasionally growled unconsciously, Ni Kun was speechless for a while.
"There are still zombies..."
What the fuck is this world?
The alien monsters, Terminator robots, and zombies in the Quiet Place actually combine the three elements of doomsday!
"This damn world has a much more serious intrusion problem than the world of The Twin Dragons. And there may be even more doomsday elements... In this doomsday world, how brave must humans be to survive!"
Just as he was sighing with emotion, perhaps smelling Ni Kun's scent, the zombie closest to Ni Kun suddenly let out a beast-like roar and rushed towards Ni Kun.
When it was wandering unconsciously just now, the zombie was still staggering like an old man on his deathbed.
But after discovering its "prey", it immediately turned into a mad dog pouncing on its prey, and its speed was not inferior to that of Usain Bolt.
Inspired by this zombie, dozens of other zombies wandering at the intersection also rioted, and each of them rushed towards Ni Kun like wild dogs on break free.
"Oh, it's still the scariest mad dog zombie."
Ni Kun clicked his tongue twice, took out a slender willow branch from his mustard seed ring, and shook his hand to turn it into a three-meter-long willow whip covered with sharp serrations. He urged the nightmare horse to rush towards the group of corpses.
Bang!
The tip of the whip broke through the air, and the head of the zombie that rushed over first exploded instantly.
Then the willow whip was like a chain gun, rushing left and right in the zombie horde, stabbing or lashing, shooting the heads of zombies one after another.
This kind of mad dog-type zombie poses a huge threat to ordinary people, but it is nothing in front of Ni Kun.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of zombies were killed, and not a single zombie could get within three meters of Ni Kun.
After killing all the zombies, Ni Kun opened the reincarnation watch and checked his account balance. He found that these dozens of zombies had increased his account balance by 28 reincarnation points. On average, he could get 0.5 reincarnation points as a killing reward for each zombie.
"Zombies are worth 0.5 reincarnation points... but killing Japanese pirate soldiers and ordinary warriors is worth none.
"It's obvious that Japanese pirates and ordinary warriors can easily kill zombies in a one-on-one or even a one-on-two fight. It seems that this is not simply a matter of reducing the reward for bullying.
"Killing low-level peers is not encouraged, but killing aliens is encouraged. Even if the aliens are also low-level noobs, is it easier to get the killing reward?"
Ni Kun seemed to be thinking about something.
At this moment, there was a loud bang from the front.
Ni Kun looked in the direction of the sound and saw more zombies pouring out from various buildings at the intersection.
At first there were only dozens or hundreds of them, but soon they became hundreds or thousands. After a while, the zombies pouring onto the intersection were so dense that they looked like marching ants. At a glance, there were only the moving zombie heads, too numerous to count.
"Oh my god, have I stirred up a hornet's nest?"
Seeing countless zombies rushing towards him with screams and howls, Ni Kun felt his scalp tingling. Without thinking, he urged his magic horse and turned away.
To him, a few zombies are not worth mentioning, but if there is a sea of zombies, unless he uses a fusion burial, he will be worn down to death.
The Nightmare Horse instantly accelerated to 120 kilometers per hour, leaving the surging sea of corpses far behind, and quickly moved away with Ni Kun.
But Ni Kun did not intend to give up this massive amount of reincarnation point resources.
Even though a zombie is only worth 0.5 reincarnation points, there are enough zombies.
If you accumulate a little bit, you can make a lot of money.
He immediately urged his magic horse to go around to the other side of the abandoned city, intending to avoid the sea of zombies and find a place with fewer zombies to harvest them piecemeal.
After walking around for more than ten miles and arriving at the other side of the city, when he was about to enter the city to kill monsters, Ni Kun suddenly froze and stared ahead in amazement.
Ahead, at the edge of the city, stood a high cliff.
On the high cliff, there are three huge human head statues.
It is not the presidential statue on Mount Rushmore - although the various remaining billboards and street light signs in this city are all in English letters, making it look like an American city, the three human head statues on the high cliff all have East Asian appearance.
And Ni Kun recognized them all.
These are the portraits of the first to third Hokage.
That high cliff is actually the Hokage Rock!
