Chapter 155: The Fisherman Gains Benefit
In the past month, Qin Ziling came to hunt every now and then. Except for the first day, when he easily killed two first-grade exotic birds, he was not so lucky at other times. Usually, he would kill one or two first-grade exotic beasts each time. When he was lucky, he would kill a second-grade exotic beast.
So far, Qin Ziling has only hunted and killed three second-grade exotic beasts .
Third-grade exotic beasts are extremely rare. Apart from the blood goshawk I saw when I first came here, I only saw third-grade exotic beasts from afar twice in the following month, but I didn't dare to attack them.
I didn’t expect to see two third-grade exotic beasts at once today, and the two sides were fighting a life-and-death battle!
"Want to do something?" Qin Ziling quickly calmed down, shifted his gaze away from the Eight Desolate Black Python and the Four-Eyed Green Toad who were fighting for life and death, and looked towards the mountains in the south.
The aura was extremely terrifying, and the territory of the unknown strange beast was to the south of the lake.
Although this place is located in the swamp grassland beside the lake, it is still quite far away from where the unknown strange beasts live.
But for powerful monsters, this distance can be reached in the blink of an eye.
"While the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. If you miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you don't know when you'll encounter it again in the future. Go for it!"
Soon, the spirit's gaze returned from afar, and then continued to float in the sky, quietly watching the python and the toad fighting each other to death. Occasionally, it would look towards the south to see if there was any movement over there.
After a while, the soul saw that the fight between the python and the toad was almost over, and that there was still no movement in the south, so it flew quickly towards the cave. Then the soul returned to its place, and then it flipped over and got on four heads. Under the cover of the misty drizzle, it flew quietly towards the south of the lake.
The python and the toad were still fighting each other, as if they would not stop until one of them died. There was no movement from the mountains in the distance.
"Kill!" Qin Ziling's mind moved.
The four heads carrying him fell from the sky like a silver lightning. When they were about to reach the ground, two tall and mountain-like figures with bronze and silver light appeared out of thin air in the air, and then fell down suddenly like falling rocks.
The two sharp claws on the four heads pierced deeply into the body of the Eight Desolate Black Python almost at the same time, and the hard and sharp triangular beaks on the four heads pecked at its head and neck respectively.
“Hiss! Hiss!”
The Eight Desolate Black Python let out a shrill cry, and the huge python body that was wrapped around the Four-Eyed Green Toad suddenly loosened.
The four-eyed green toad had realized something was wrong by now, and after its body was freed, it wanted to escape.
But before it could escape, Yuan Dabian sat heavily on its back with a heavy weight, and smashed its head with his huge fist flashing with silver light.
With a "bang", a lot of mud and water splashed, and Yuan Er landed beside the calf-like body of the Four-eyed Green Toad, and his huge fist smashed down on its body madly.
"Quack! Quack!" The four-eyed green toad followed closely behind the Eight Desolate Black Python, making a loud yet shrill cry.
The cries echoed between the mountains and lakes.
"Ah!" At this moment, a deafening roar came from the jungle at the foot of the mountain, and a powerful breath rose into the sky.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Then, Qin Ziling heard a loud noise coming from a distance, and the earth shook, as if something huge had hit the ground heavily.
Soon, Qin Ziling saw from afar a strange beast that looked somewhat like a cow, with a white body, one horn, one eye, four hooves, and a tail like a python's tail with a forked end, running towards this side.
Each leap was nearly seventy to eighty meters high and two to three hundred meters away. When it fell, the trees below were crushed into pieces and the ground cracked. From a distance, it looked like a white lightning plowing across the earth and in a blink of an eye it would reach the swamp by the lake.
The powerful aura brought up rolling waves of air, and before the strange beast arrived, strong winds were already blowing.
Qin Ziling's face changed slightly, but his heart was surprisingly calm, and he acted decisively. Holding a triangular spike in one hand and a three-edged bayonet in the other, he stabbed the calf-like body of the four-eyed green toad frantically. Blood spurted into the sky and sprayed all over him, but he didn't care at all.
The corpse-raising ring cannot collect living things!
The shrill cries of the Four-Eyed Green Toad and the Eight Desolate Black Python suddenly stopped.
"Let's go!" Qin Ziling made a prompt decision, put away the Four-eyed Green Toad, the Eight-desolate Black Python, as well as the Great Ape and the Second Ape, climbed onto the Four Heads, and shouted in a deep voice.
The four heads spread their wings and flapped them violently.
The strong wind blew down the water plants on all sides.
At this time, the strange beast was only a mile away from the four heads. Suddenly, it opened its mouth and sucked in fiercely.
Suddenly, the sky and the earth changed color, and the wind and clouds surged.
Countless water mists rose from the ground, and rain from all directions poured into the huge mouth of the strange beast .
Then the strange beast roared suddenly.
A little bit of cold light shot out, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and rolled up an icy hurricane.
The little bit of cold light was dense and shot towards Qin Ziling and Si Shou like flying arrows in the sky. They were actually sharp ice blades.
"It can actually condense water vapor into ice blades. This strange beast actually possesses magical powers!" Qin Ziling, who was lying on the back of the four heads, turned pale.
He had already expected that the unknown beast was very powerful, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful!
Not only is it incredibly fast, but it can also gather water into ice blades.
"Dang! Dang! Dang!" The ice blades were as fast as lightning. Even though the four heads had flapped their flesh wings desperately, they were still hit by more than ten ice blades, making a sound of metal clashing.
Fortunately, the four heads had already flown high and far away by then, and the ice blade that hit it was like a spent bow and arrow and could not really hurt it. However, the huge force still caused it to shake in the air.
After staggering, the four heads finally got rid of the ice blade's attack.
"Huh!" Qin Ziling let out a long sigh and looked down at the unknown beast that was getting smaller and smaller. Even though it was far away, he could still faintly feel its ferocious aura.
"No wonder Xiao Qing said that even the Bone Refining Master and even the Organ Refining Grand Master were unwilling to go deep into the Wuyang Mountains unless necessary. Such a fierce and powerful beast, let alone the Bone Refining Master, would be doomed, even if the Organ Refining Grand Master encountered it, he would probably have to fight to the death.
Fortunately, I already knew that there lived this powerful beast over there, and I was always on guard against it. I also had a flying vehicle, so I was able to escape in time. Otherwise, even if my whole body was made of iron, I would still be dead.
Fortunately, I was wise enough not to easily kill the third-grade beast. Otherwise, this guy would arrive before I could kill the third-grade beast, and then not only would my efforts be in vain, but I would also be in danger. "
Qin Ziling thought with lingering fear, and finally withdrew his gaze from the unknown beast and fell on the little finger of his left hand, which became hot.
"I really made a fortune this time! Two third-grade exotic beasts!" Qin Ziling showed a happy smile on his face.
After returning to the cave, Qin Ziling went back to his retreat without stopping.
After returning to the outer cave, Qin Ziling couldn't wait to take out the Eight Desolate Black Python and the Four-Eyed Green Toad.
With the previous lesson in mind, when Qin Ziling put the Eight Desolate Black Python and the Four-Eyed Green Toad into the corpse-raising ring, he had already warned Ape Da Yuan and Ape Er not to steal food.
So when the two third-grade exotic beasts were taken out, except for their horrific injuries, everything else was intact.
"Well, the flesh and blood of the Eight Desolate Black Python should contain relatively rich water spiritual power, and the flesh and blood of the Four-Eyed Green Toad should contain relatively rich wood spiritual power. Not bad, not bad, both of them are suitable for me to eat." Qin Ziling approached the two strange beasts respectively, sniffed at their wounds, and a happy smile appeared on his face again.
He has now made some achievements in the water and wood cultivation in the way of Qi Refining, and has a keen sense of water and wood spiritual power.
The accidental capture of two third-grade exotic beasts today changed Qin Ziling's plan to return home.
Qin Ziling decided to continue practicing in the cave and delay returning home.
After that, Qin Ziling got up early every day and stewed a big pot of python and toad meat, adding some precious medicinal herbs picked from the other end of the cave.
There are many more medicinal herbs deep in the Wuyang Mountains than in the outer areas. Qin Ziling also has the help of the soul technique, so it is convenient for him to find pick elixirs, and there will be no danger.
However, Qin Ziling would still be careful to avoid the southern area when looking for medicinal herbs.
In this world, warriors and Qigong practitioners who are strong enough can sense the soul and even kill it, but Qin Ziling cannot guarantee that powerful monsters cannot do it.
Even the strange beasts have sharper intuition than humans in some aspects!
The nourishing effect of the third-grade exotic beast is obviously much stronger.
In addition, water and wood are mutually beneficial, and the effect is even better when the two kinds of meat are stewed together with medicinal herbs.
However, in just ten days, Qin Ziling's "Evergreen Green Wood Technique" and "Black Snake Mysterious Water Technique" both reached the middle stage of true power.
In terms of body training, Qin Ziling's abdomen was finally trained to the level of iron skin.
Now, except for the most sensitive and weak parts such as the head, neck, and hips, which are also the vital parts, which have not yet been cultivated to the level of iron skin, as long as the qi and blood surge in other parts, the surface of the skin will immediately be covered with a layer of iron armor.
Not only that, the growth of qi and blood power has also reached a terrifying level.
If we say that in the past, Qin Ziling had to rely on his keen five senses and dragon-swimming body movements to have the strength to rival the Bone Refining Master in martial arts, then with the hard training over the past two months, especially the tonic food in the last ten days or so, he now truly possesses the strength comparable to the Bone Refining Master.
If he could rely on his extraordinary five senses and dragon-swimming body movements, an ordinary martial artist in the early stage of bone refining would probably fall into his hands if they were not careful.
The bottleneck encountered in spiritual cultivation has shown signs of loosening and has become increasingly obvious in the past ten days.
“Although the flesh and blood of the Eight Desolate Black Python and the Four-Eyed Green Toad cannot directly nourish the soul, if a person’s vital energy is sufficient and their physique is strong, it will naturally nourish their soul. A strong soul, in turn, will help me to more sensitively sense the changes in qi and blood and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and better control the circulation of qi and blood and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
This should be the so-called mutual complementation! If I hadn't been so lucky that I merged the soul of the original owner of this body with the residual soul of the great demon Li Mo, I wouldn't have needed to go through decades of hard practice to reach the realm of driving away things, and later I was lucky enough to obtain the method of refining qi. How could I have had the opportunity to peek into and experience the mysterious aspects of the mutual assistance between these three paths when they were cultivated together?"
Feeling his strength level improving every day, Qin Ziling's heart was filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment.
