C54 Magic Beast Incident
The next morning, after Zheng Zinuo had his breakfast, he went back to his room and took a rag to wrap the two wooden swords and the Azure Light Sword. He brought Yin and Yang with him and ran towards the waterfall. Although Zheng Zinuo could explain that he had picked up the Azure Light Sword, But he was not good at lying. He was afraid that something would go wrong. He might as well use something to wrap it up. He would wait until he really could not hide it.
After arriving at the waterfall, Zheng Zinuo put down the two wooden swords in his hands. He carried the Azure Light Sword on his back and adjusted his breathing slightly. After adjusting his body condition to its best state, he stood up and walked towards the stream downstream.
He passed by the hidden cave and continued walking down for more than 300 meters. After exiting a thorny forest and passing by a small patch of grass, he finally entered the Devil Beast Forest.
The moment he entered the Devil Beast Forest, Zheng Zinuo became nervous, and even his breathing became hurried. When he thought about the battle with the Second Grade Devil Beast, Gale devil wolf, three years ago, it was still vivid in his mind, and it made him feel terrified.
Due to the cover of the forest's trees, the light in the outside world had become much dimmer inside the forest. However, this was the outermost part of the forest after all, and the sun was shining down from the sky. Passing through the dense trees, the light shone on the ground like stars. Like the starry sky of the universe, it was very beautiful.
Zheng Zinuo carefully walked into the forest. He concentrated his mind and observed his surroundings.
"Yin Yang, slow down. This isn't a fun place. When you encounter the Devil Beast later, you will run as far as you can, do you understand?" Zheng Zinuo whispered.
"Wuwuwu..." Yin Yang seemed surprisingly excited. He shook his head, as if he was saying, I'm not afraid of the Devil Beast at all. Zheng Zinuo did not know whether to laugh or cry.
A man and a beast slowly walked towards the inner parts of the forest, one in front and one behind. He remembered Gong Cheng telling him not to go too deep. He could only go 500 meters at most. Therefore, for the second time he had entered the Devil Beast Forest, Even 500 meters was a little timid, so he could only search around 200 to 300 meters.
Zheng Zinuo was completely confident now. Even if he couldn't defeat the powerful Devil Beast, he could still rely on the movement technique of the yellow martial artist to escape. After all, he was no longer the same person as before.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss..." Just as Zheng Zinuo was about three hundred meters away, an ear-piercing sound was heard. Zheng Zinuo and Yin Yang stopped in their tracks at the same time. They turned around and looked at a big tree not far away, which had two people hugging it. They saw a green tree that was four meters long. The snake, which was as thick as a bowl, was circling the trunk of the tree and spitting red letters at Zheng Zinuo.
"Wah... What a huge snake!" Zheng Zinuo was shocked and quickly jumped back to prepare for battle. Yin Yang, on the other hand, bowed excitedly and was eager to give it a try.
"Yin Yang, quickly retreat, let me deal with it!" Zheng Zinuo carefully observed it and discovered that this snake was a relatively ordinary Devil Beast that was recorded in the Martial Cultivation World. It was called the Violent Python, and it was usually a high-grade Tier 2 Devil Beast that liked to eat meat.
Its attacks were mainly entangled and whale swallowed. It possessed three types of long-range attacks, namely the Fire Water Poison. According to the long-range attacks of three different elements, it was also divided into the Fire Violent Python, the Water Violent Python, and the Poison Violent Python.
According to its appearance, Zheng Zinuo determined that this Wild Python in front of him should be a Water Raging Python, because the surface of the Fire Raging Python's body was red, and the Poison Raging Python's outer appearance was yellow. This was an emerald-green color, and that was the Water Raging Python.
"It's just a Second Grade Devil Beast, it shouldn't be any weaker than my words. Come! " Zheng Zinuo did not immediately take down the Azure Light Sword on his back. He took a few steps back. He was facing the Violent Water Python's attack with his bare hands. After all, he had been cultivating for such a long time. He also wanted to test out his Martial Cultivation Method.
"Yin Yang, stand behind me. Don't hurt yourself." Zheng Zinuo looked at Yin Yang who was about to rush out and shouted.
Hearing Zheng Zinuo's order, Yin Yang unwillingly whimpered a few times before obediently retreating.
At this time, the water python on the big tree slowly climbed down from the tree. It circled on the ground for two weeks and raised its terrifying snake head that was much taller than Zheng Zinuo. It kept spitting out red letters at him.
"Orochi, do you want to move aside or not? If you don't move, I will kill you. As the first victim of my mission!" Zheng Zinuo shouted at the water python.
"Hissss..." The Violent Water Python seemed to have understood his words. Its mouth was wide open as if it was mocking him. Suddenly, without any warning, a water pillar shot out from its open mouth towards Zheng Zinuo.
"Hmm? Get out of the way!" Zheng Zinuo was shocked. He instantly unleashed the Yu's Step and easily dodged the water serpent's attack.
"Wuuuu..." He turned his head and saw Yin and Yang standing behind Zheng Zinuo. Due to them not being able to react in time, they were all hit by the water serpent's attack.
"Ah? Yin Yang, are you alright?" Zheng Zinuo turned pale with fright. With a flash, he arrived beside Yin Yang. Although he knew that this was the Water Python of the three types of wild pythons, However, the snake was poisonous. This thought had gone deep into his mind. He was afraid that Yin Yang would be poisoned after being sprayed by the water python.
"Wuwuwu... Puuu..." Yin Yang sneezed when he heard that and shook his head to indicate that he was fine.
While the two of them were conversing, the wild python suddenly attacked while Zheng Zinuo was facing it from the side. It was its best move, the Whale Swallowing Technique. It opened its huge mouth and bit towards Zheng Zinuo's butt.
"Wu..." Yin Yang, who was facing the python, suddenly shouted when he saw what happened. He pushed Zheng Zinuo to the side and swung his right claw at the incoming snake head.
"Bang..." With a dull sound, Yin Yang was sent flying two meters away. He rolled on the ground a few times before he stood up unsteadily.
However, his opponent, the python, was not in a good condition either. Half of the snake head was badly mutilated. It was hit until it was more than a meter away from where it originally was. It rolled on the ground a few times before it struggled to get up.
It was only at this moment that Zheng Zinuo reacted. He had almost never experienced any battles before. He really lacked battle experience.
"Ya, you dare to hit my Yin and Yang, you're courting death!" Zheng Zinuo roared furiously and suddenly turned his body around. He summoned the black martial soul outside his body. One! He took a bow and rushed forward. He used the orange Martial Cultivation Method - the Triple Emperor Cannon Fist in an instant. It directly unleashed 120% of its attack power towards the snake head, which was still in a daze.
"Sou..."
"Ah? I missed!" Zheng Zinuo clearly felt that his opponent was right in front of him, and he looked a little dizzy, but after he attacked, he saw the snake's head shrink back agilely, and he actually missed.
" Hiss... " Before Zheng Zinuo could react, the snake's head suddenly bounced towards Zheng Zinuo's face like a spring, and it swallowed him.
"Ah..." There was no time for him to use any Martial Cultivation Method to defend himself. He could only cross his arms and lower his head to block the snake's attack. He did not even have the time to use his soul power to step into his wrist.
The wild python took the opportunity to open its huge mouth and bite Zheng Zinuo's wrist. It then threw Zheng Zinuo into the air and landed three meters away, hitting a big tree and landing on the ground.
"Hiss..." Zheng Zinuo felt a sharp pain in his head. Before he could react, he felt dizzy. His body flew uncontrollably into the air, and then he crashed into a big tree and bounced to the ground. His face turned pale, and he almost fainted on the spot. He looked down and saw that his wrists were bleeding. If it wasn't for his strong physical body, his wrists would have been bitten off just now. Even if he kept biting, he would still be knocked out on the spot and become a meal for the wild python.
"Wah..." Seeing Zheng Zinuo being sent flying by the wild python, Yin Yang, who had just stabilized his body, immediately became furious. He faced the sky and roared furiously, as if his body had suddenly expanded a little in that instant. He rushed forward at a high speed, then leaped up into the air and swung his right claw at the frenzied python once again.
It was clear that the Violent Python, who had suffered a loss of Yin and Yang once, had learned some lessons. It no longer dared to fight it head on.
Seeing the Yin and Yang attack from the sky, the python flipped its body. Then, its huge snake tail suddenly swept towards the Yin and Yang's right claw.
"Pa..." Another crisp sound was heard. This time, Yin and Yang flew backwards. The python only rolled a few times on the ground, as if nothing had happened. The snake tail, which looked fragile and delicate, actually did not seem to be damaged at all.
"Yin and Yang!" Having received the attack from Yin and Yang, Zheng Zinuo calmed down and quickly got up from the ground. He did not dare to hold back anymore and took the Azure Light Sword from his back. He used all of his soul power to attack the python.
At this time, he did not dare to rashly use the Spiritual Rhinoceros Sword Technique. After all, the Spiritual Rhinoceros Sword Technique consumed too much of the Genuine Qi. He was afraid that if he used the Spiritual Rhinoceros Sword Technique once and did not kill the wild python, then the loss would outweigh the gain. Therefore, he only relied on the 10% increase in the Azure Light Sword's attack power to attack the Violent Python. He wanted to find a good opportunity to assassinate it.
"Pa, dang..." After a few moves, the Violent Python didn't dare to meet the Azure Light Sword head on. After all, Zheng Zinuo's level twenty-two soul force was not something to be trifled with. Adding the ten percent increase from the Azure Light Sword, The attack power of Zheng Zinuo's casual move had exceeded level twenty. Therefore, the wild python could only dodge the attack.
After a few dozen more attacks, the wild python still did not dare to get close to him. Occasionally, it would only use its huge snake tail to hit it symbolically, but it was easily neutralized by Zheng Zinuo. As time passed, Zheng Zinuo gradually calmed down. The Azure Light Sword in his hand flickered. He didn't give the python any chance to get close to him.
"Devil Breaking Sword!" After a few moves, Zheng Zinuo finally found an opportunity. He suddenly used the Yellow Martial Sword Technique, using it to increase his attack power by 30%. Adding the Azure Light Sword's attack power by 10%, it increased the attack power by 40%. It was the same as the green Martial Cultivation Method. It had to be said that with the Azure Light Sword, he would be able to reduce his soul power by a lot.
"Puchi..." With a sound, the wild python was too cunning. Once again, it dodged Zheng Zinuo's killing strike, causing Zheng Zinuo's Azure Light Sword to pierce deeply into the tree trunk.
"Hiss..." Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zheng Zinuo swung his huge tail again. Zheng Zinuo did not have time to draw his sword. He could only roll around and dodge the python's attack.
"Little bug, you are really strong!" Zheng Zinuo looked at his bleeding wrist and thought to himself that this battle was really difficult. It seemed like he had to end this battle quickly because he was injured and needed to be rescued in time.
He glanced at Yin and Yang out of the corner of his eye. It seemed like he had suffered some injuries as well. He was lying on the ground and crying continuously, as if he was cheering for Zheng Zinuo. However, he didn't dare to attack again.
"Humph! Today, I'll let you witness the power of this young master!" Zheng Zinuo briefly analyzed the situation in front of him, then his body suddenly swayed. He used the movement technique of the yellow warrior, the Traceless Snowsteps, and moved the black martial soul behind him through the forest like a ghost. It dazzled the python in front of him.
"Wind Scroll Technique! Ah!" After a few flashes, his speed was so fast that it was hard for the naked eye to tell whether it was real or fake. With the Yellow Martial Cultivation Method, coupled with the Wind Attribute Confusion Attack, he attacked the back of the Violent Python.
Seeing this, the Violent Python suddenly turned around. It swung its body with all its strength, but its snake tail missed its target. Then, with a flash in front of its eyes, a palm with traces of cold air appeared beside its head. The python hastily raised its head, trying to dodge the attack of Zheng Zinuo's yellow skill, the Cold Ice Palm, just like the first time.
Who would have thought that this time, the child on the opposite side was like gangrene attached to his bones. His feet slid a few times, and his arm seemed to suddenly grow longer.
"Dong..." The fist hit the snake's abdomen, and the four-meter long green python was sent flying. It smashed into a nearby tree and rolled down.
"Hand Leaving Sword Style!" But before the python could react, a green light flashed and disappeared. The python felt a sudden chill in its head, and a long sword pierced through its head. The python was firmly fixed on the ground.
"Hu..." Seeing that the python violently twitched a few times on the ground, and then slowly coming to a stop, Zheng Zinuo let out a loud cry and sat down on the ground. His clothes were already drenched in sweat, and his entire body was trembling.
"Ling, it's your turn." Before Zheng Zinuo's voice could fade, Yin Yang, who was injured not far away, suddenly jumped up from the ground. He jumped a few times to the side of the wild python and supported it with his two front claws. They sat on the ground, and the eight-trigram birthmark on their heads suddenly lit up.
At this moment, the gradually losing life of the python... A weak black shadow slowly floated out from within his body, as if it had encountered a powerful suction force. It quickly entered the Eight Trigrams birthmark on Yin Yang's forehead.
"Yin Yang!" Zheng Zinuo was shocked and quickly stood up from the ground. He quickly ran to Yin and Yang's side, looked at their heads and shouted. “ What are you doing? You... Why do you also devour the Devil Beast's devil soul? "
However, Yin Yang seemed to be drunk at this moment. His eyes were blurred, and he looked extremely satisfied. After two whimpers, he crawled onto the ground and fell asleep, causing Zheng Zinuo to not know whether to laugh or cry.
"How could this be? Ling, do you know?" Zheng Zinuo asked worriedly.
"Brother, don't worry. Yin and Yang should be fine. This puppy probably isn't an ordinary puppy. I've only heard of a few legendary powerful Divine Beast that can absorb the devil souls of other Devil Beast to cultivate." Sword Spirit replied and then said with some frustration, "But in this case, what about the devil souls that I need?"
"This guy still has this ability, hehe..." Zheng Zinuo smiled bitterly when he heard her words, and then comforted her, "Ling, don't worry. Big Brother doesn't have much strength left to kill another Devil Beast today. Tomorrow, I will definitely instruct Yin and Yang to let you give the devil soul of the Devil Beast to it."
"En, that's the only way. Big Brother, quickly go back and rest." Sword Spirit said with concern.
"Okay!" Zheng Zinuo looked at the two animals in front of him and shook his head. He endured the pain in his wrist, grabbed one with one hand, and walked towards the outer perimeter of Devil Beast Forest.
Fortunately, he did not encounter the second Devil Beast. Zheng Zinuo safely dragged Yin Yang and the dead wild python back. He sat down on the ground. At this time, he had also used up a lot of soul power. If it wasn't for the support of the Genuine Qi, he would have been so tired that he wouldn't be able to get up. Especially since his mind was on the verge of collapsing. Even now, his heartbeat was still very intense.
"No wonder combat can improve a person's temperament. It's true." Zheng Zinuo muttered to himself, then took a few deep breaths and slowly began cultivating the Disdain Heaven Martial Saint Spell.
After the time of one or two hourglass, Zheng Zinuo slowly opened his eyes. At this time, the soul power and physical strength in his body had been replenished.
He lowered his head and looked at his two wrists. Even though the blood had stopped flowing, There was no major injury, but the pain was still there. He looked at the Yin and Yang that were still sleeping. Zheng Zinuo stood up again. He felt that it was almost noon. He then dragged Yin and Yang and the wild python towards the cave.
When they arrived at the cave, Zheng Zinuo placed Yin Yang outside the cave. He didn't bring it in, but slowly dragged the python into the cave.
"Hmm? High-grade Tier 2 Devil Beast, Water Python, not bad, not bad!" Seeing Zheng Zinuo dragging a python in, Gong Cheng was slightly surprised at first. Then he praised a few words and suddenly said with some surprise, "Eh? You're injured?"
"En, it bit my wrist. It's fine." Zheng Zinuo nodded.
"Come here, let me take a look." Gong Cheng frowned and said.
Zheng Zinuo took a few steps forward. Gong Cheng reached out and touched his waist. A white pill appeared in his hand. He gently crushed it and turned it into white powder. He smeared it on Zheng Zinuo's wrist.
"Hiss..." When the white powder touched the wound, a cool and stinging sensation came over.
"If I can't even endure this little pain, how can I cultivate the Great Dao?" Gong Cheng smiled and said, "This is a Marching Pill that I personally refined. It is several times better than those ordinary Marching Pill in Hidden Spirit Sect. I estimate that you will stutter before tomorrow morning's wound on your wrist."
"Oh, thank you, big brother." Zheng Zinuo said gratefully.
"En, I'm a little disappointed. A tiny little high-grade Tier 2 Devil Beast, Water Python, actually injured you. Looks like your combat experience is really too little, and your intelligence is too weak in a battle. I still need to practice more in the future. " Gong Cheng said earnestly.
"Yes, I don't have enough combat experience, and my control over my soul power is still very poor, causing me to release my soul power at many critical moments. It's either too impatient or too slow." Zheng Zinuo lowered his head and said.
"Very good. Realizing your own weakness proves that you have improved. Continue to work hard and kill another Devil Beast tomorrow." Gong Cheng said.
Seeing Zheng Zinuo nod, he continued, "In fact, every Devil Beast has a magic crystal in their body. You should know this from Martial Cultivation World. Magic crystals have the greatest effect of mixing other materials into weapons and equipment. Weapons and equipment made from magic crystals can be enhanced. It is the thing that all low-level martial cultivator dream of. Moreover, every Devil Beast was covered with treasures. For example, the snakeskin of this wild python could be used to make equipment and snake meat to eat. Snake bones and snake gallbladder could be used to concoct pills and make medicine. Therefore, from today onwards... Every day, you catch a Devil Beast and I will teach you how to refine pill and forge weapons and equipment. As the saying goes, when one is calm, the movement will combine. This way, it will not only improve your disposition. It can also increase your cultivation base to a greater extent."
"Today, I will teach you the raw materials for making pill, as well as the materials for making weapons and equipment. These are all things that don't exist in the Martial Cultivation World." Gong Cheng said. Then, he took out two yellow books from his tattered clothes and handed them over. "These are the essences of alchemy and weapon crafting that the generations of Hidden Spirit Sect have summarized, as well as the Dan Sutra and Weapon Sutra that have been improved by me. Take it back and study it carefully. There are all kinds of raw materials and diagrams for refining pill and equipment in it. Take a good look at it. If you don't understand, you can come and ask me."
"Alright, Big Brother." Zheng Zinuo took it over, although he wasn't interested in alchemy or weapon crafting. Since Gong Cheng asked him to do it, he must have his reasons. Then, he looked at Gong Cheng doubtfully and asked, "Big brother, can I ask you a question?"
"If you have a question, say it. Why are you being polite with me?" Gong Cheng raised his head and said.
"Oh, nothing. I just want to know where you got these books and the treasured swords. It seems like you don't have such a large amount of space to store these things." Zheng Zinuo asked.
"Hahaha..." Gong Cheng laughed loudly when he heard this, "Don't tell me you haven't heard of storage magic treasures?"
"Storage magic treasure? I only mentioned it in Martial Cultivation World, but I have never seen it in real life." Zheng Zinuo suddenly remembered that there was a special place in the Martial Cultivation World that explained storage magic treasures, and then he said.
"That's right." Gong Cheng said, then he stretched out his hand and touched his waist. He took down a seemingly ordinary black belt and said, "This is my storage belt magic treasure. It was refined by me back then. I still have a small storage bag. I'll give it to you now. " After saying that, he fished out a fist-sized purple bag that was neither gold nor iron nor cloth and handed it to Zheng Zinuo.
"Storage bag? Give it to me?" Zheng Zinuo said excitedly.
"En. Anyway, the space in my storage belt is already big enough. This bag has always been empty. I'll take it for you to play with. Although the space is only four or five square meters, it's enough to store some daily necessities. With it, you don't have to be afraid that Feng Qingyun and the others will discover your secret. But remember, this can only store non-living objects. The method to use it is very simple, just activate the formation on it with your soul power."0
" Thank you big brother! " Zheng Zinuo was overjoyed and reached out to take it, "Big brother, this storage magic treasure was also refined? How should I refine it?"
"Storage magic treasure is the most difficult type of artifact refinement. Not only is it extremely demanding on the materials, it also has a very strict requirement. Moreover, the technique and cultivation of the person who refined it must be extremely superb. Moreover, one must be proficient in formations. Without a Martial Emperor Stage cultivation base, it would be very difficult to successfully forge a storage Magic Treasure. Thus, storage Magic Treasures are also the most precious equipment." Gong Cheng said.
" However, don't be anxious. You have to take your time with everything. When you reach the rank of a general, you can refine some ordinary pill and ordinary equipment. The higher your rank, the stronger your cultivation. The more skilled you are in refining and alchemy. The things you refine will also be better. When you go back, you should first understand these two alchemy scriptures and the Artifact Scripture. After you finish reading them, I will formally teach you how to refine pills and forging pills."
"Alright! Then I'll head back first, big brother." Zheng Zinuo nodded excitedly when he heard that.
"En, in that storage bag, I placed a few kinds of regular pill. Next time you're injured, you can use it for external application. There's also a type of Soul Recovery Pill inside. It can quickly recover soul power, and can be used in emergencies. Remember, although battle cultivation is important, you must keep your life! " Gong Cheng said.
Zheng Zinuo was slightly shocked when he heard this, especially Gong Cheng's last sentence which touched him. He nodded and left without saying anything.
He went back to the waterfall and ate some fruit and dried food. He found that Yin and Yang had not woken up yet. Zheng Zinuo could not help but feel anxious, but he could do nothing but wait.
Taking out his storage bag, Zheng Zinuo carefully looked at it. He found that this purplish-black bag, which was only the size of a fist, was no different from the bag he usually used at home when he saw his mother. The only difference was that this pouch seemed to be a little heavier.
He thought of the method Gong Cheng had taught him and used a trace of soul power to attach it. Suddenly, something strange happened. The tightly bound bag automatically opened. And the size of the bag automatically changed according to the amount of soul power he urged. From the opening of the hole, one could clearly see that it was empty inside. Only a dozen or so small white bottles were quietly lying inside.
Zheng Zinuo was slightly delighted. He took the Azure Light Sword from his back and slowly put it in. Then he also put the wooden sword and the two scriptures in. Then he slowly withdrew his soul power. The originally big bag quickly closed up, as if nothing had happened.
He reached out and weighed the weight of the storage bag, and found that it was only slightly heavier than before. This made Zheng Zinuo overjoyed, and he could not help but fondle it.
Next, Zheng Zinuo opened the storage bag again and took out all fifteen small white bottles. He carefully recognized them, such as Marching Pill, Worry-free Pill, Water Poison Pill, Earth Poison Pill, Fire Poison Pill, Soul Recovery Pill and so on. He had almost everything he needed in his daily life.
After studying these things, he had spent more than half of the afternoon. After resting for a while, he started cultivating the Ethereal Divine Sword Spell and Disdain Heaven Martial Saint Spell once again.
