Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

Chapter 34 The Second Spirit

"It must have been Banditbeard who found their companion's body."

Seeing this situation, Zhao Lin immediately thought of possible reasons.

Baiqiao Village is relatively close to the town, and there are many hunters in the village, and there are many villagers with good skills among them. It is reasonable for Beard to be suspicious.

Zhao Lin didn't expect that he would cause trouble for Zhou Paotou and the others because of his whim, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Is everyone here?"

Hu Zi summoned everyone to the entrance of the village, and asked the village elders to bring the roster and roll their names one by one. At the same time, he also sent people to search from house to house.

By the light of the fire, Zhao Lin saw that Zhu Dachun, Liang Song and Zhou Paotou were also in the crowd.

The masked bandit leader shouted: "All men roll up their sleeves and stretch out both hands!"

The villagers looked at each other, wondering why the bandit made such a strange request, but Zhao Lin understood the bandit's intention.

During the skin training stage, due to the shedding of the skin, the new skin color is lighter than the original, especially the skin on the hands is the most obvious, and it will take several years to return to normal.

If the skin training is successful, and it has really reached the first level of strength, there will be a blue vertical line on the palm.

Bandits want to use this method to find people who have practiced martial arts.

Zhao Lin lowered his head and glanced at his hands. After only two molts, the color change was not obvious, and the difference was almost indistinguishable.

Holding torches, several bandits went forward to check one by one, and circled around, but found no suspicious person.

Zhao Lin felt relieved, he knew that Liang Song was training his skin, but he had just finished shedding his skin for the first time, so he couldn't tell from the surface.

In fact, it doesn't matter even if you find out, Diao Liu is at the second level of strength, and his strength is much stronger than the people who just started training leather. They should be looking for someone who has reached at least the first level of strength.

Zhao Lin didn't continue to spy, and quietly disappeared in the darkness.

When he returned to Sanjia Village, he was relieved to see that the village was quiet and the bandits hadn't come to harass him.

Perhaps the medicine taken in the medicine hall had an effect, and Zhao Lin slept very soundly that night.

The next day he got up early on purpose and rushed to Zhou Paotou's house to inquire about the situation.

"What, you killed two beards yesterday?"

Both Zhou Paotou and Zhu Dachun were taken aback, "I said why the beard looks crazy, so it was you who did it."

Liang Song's reaction was different from the two: "Brother Zhao, why didn't Killbeard pull me?"

"I also made a temporary decision, and I will not take such risks again in the future."

Zhao Lin explained, "Since Huzi found Xiong Wei's body, let them find the bear bile slowly. We should be more cautious when spending money."

"That's true. Fortunately, our bear bile is sold in Songyuan County. Huzi will have to work hard to find it there."

Zhou Baotou smiled.

With money in hand, Zhao Lin can finally practice martial arts at Liuhemen with peace of mind.

In the process of skin training, there needs to be an interval between each molt, otherwise the skin will be beaten and stimulated just after it is born, which will make the skin red, swollen and itchy, which is not conducive to growth.

Taking advantage of this break, Zhao Lin asked Yuan Cheng for a few days off - he had a big business to attend to.

He wanted to open the second grid of the spirit beast map.

The reason is that he wants to improve his strength as soon as possible.

Zhao Lin is always worried that if Hu Zi finds out that he is the "true murderer" one day, he will come to settle accounts with him.

Although after the transformation of the spirit beast map, his physical talent has already surpassed most people, but no matter how good the talent is, it takes time to hone it, and many things cannot be done quickly.

He wants to gain extra abilities.

There are still eight empty grids in the spirit beast picture, which is a waste no matter how you arrange it in the future. Using one first is not a waste.

Zhao Lin has carefully considered what kind of talents this grid is used to absorb.

Several major elements of fighting: strength, speed, skill, resistance, intelligence.

He already has the power, so he can get rid of it directly.

Intellect is also not needed, humans are the primates of all things, there is no need to obtain intelligence from beasts.

Skills are improved by continuous practice and actual combat. It requires self-effort, and it is not easy to resort to external forces.

As for resistance, Zhao Lin's first reaction was pangolin.

But the "protective clothing" of pangolins is scales, not only ugly, but also affect the movement.

Zhao Lin didn't know if he would grow scales after absorbing the pangolin's spirit.

A turtle also has armor, but its armor is actually bones, not skin.

After analyzing one by one, the most practical and useful specialty is speed.

When it comes to speed, the first thing that comes to Zhao Lin's mind is the cheetah.

The cheetah is the king of land speed. If you can kill a leopard and obtain its unparalleled speed, it will definitely greatly improve your combat power.

However, after Zhao Lin communicated with Zhou Paotou, he found that it was almost impossible.

The reason is not that there are no leopards in Paektu Mountain. There is a kind of leopard in Paektu Mountain, which runs like lightning, also known as the diamond mountain leopard.

In fact, the name of the Bandit Drilling Mountain Leopard was borrowed from this.

But the leopard is very difficult to hunt. This kind of beast is extremely alert, and it has always come and gone without a trace. I have never heard of anyone running after a leopard when hunting in the mountains. I only heard that a hunter was attacked by a leopard.

Leopards are good at lurking, and their whereabouts are erratic, even old hunters cannot track their whereabouts.

Zhao Lin was very disappointed after hearing this, so he had to settle for the next best thing and asked, "Is there any antelope in Baitou Mountain?"

He remembered that when he saw the animal world, the antelope was the second fastest animal after the leopard, and it had excellent jumping and agility.

"What antelope? I've never heard of it." Zhou Paotou looked bewildered.

Is there no antelope in this world?

Zhao Lin was heartbroken, borrowed a pen and paper, and drew a pattern of an antelope on a piece of paper.

"Looks like a sheep, and a bit like a deer, with a pair of standing horns on its head. It runs very fast, second only to leopards." Zhao Lin explained.

"Oh, you said it."

Zhou Paotou patted his head and said with a smile, "I'll understand once you draw it. This thing is not called an antelope, we call it a rock donkey."

"This thing is bigger than a sheep, looks like a donkey, weighs one or two hundred catties, and likes to move around on high mountain tops."

"Any jump is one foot high, and one jump is three feet long."

"The fur is ginger red, with a white belly, black stripes on both legs, a tuft of black hair on the hind hooves, and two horns that are long and pointed, with a bend in the middle."

Zhou Paotou said while redrawing the appearance of the rock donkey in his mouth.

Zhao Lin was overjoyed after hearing this, and said, "Yes, that's what I was talking about! Does it run fast?"

Zhou Pao nodded vigorously, "Quick, just like the wind. I saw it when I was collecting herbs on the top of the mountain, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye."

Zhao Lin asked, "Do you think it's easy to catch them?"

Zhou Pao shook his head and said, "It's not easy. You can't catch it if you catch it, and you can't shoot it with an arrow. This thing is very timid, and it's hard to get close."

"However, it is feasible to play tricks, that is, they live on the top of the mountain and walk on the cliffs like walking on flat ground. We don't have that ability."

"I advise you not to think about them, it is thankless."
