Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

Chapter 429: Open Your Mind
"Eat quickly, and then go hunting. Don't waste time." The chief broke the dry food into small pieces and fed them to the tribesmen.

Soon, the tribesmen were full and each picked up their weapons and set out to look for prey.

Houyi stood by the river, watching the water rushing away into the distance, secretly thinking that he hoped he could return to the tribe soon.

"Brother Houyi." The clan leader called out to Houyi who was about to step on the water.

"Is there anything else, Chief?" Houyi asked.

"Brother Hou Yi, are you really not worried? I always feel that this matter is very strange. Logically speaking, how could the wolves suddenly retreat? I can't even feel the slightest battle fluctuation. It's too weird. I'm worried that something unexpected will happen, so I want to remind you to pay attention to safety."

"Chief, please relax and I know what to do." Hou Yi replied calmly.

Seeing Houyi's firm attitude, the clan leader did not say anything more. He gave a few instructions and left with his people.

Houyi stayed there alone, looking at the river flowing slowly, and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Houyi stepped into the river, and the water reached his knees.

The water is rushing and splashing everywhere.

Houyi stood quietly with his hands on his hips, letting the water wet his cheeks and clothes.

He closed his eyes and rested, recalling the scene in the valley in his mind, and a faint curve appeared at the corners of his mouth.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked forward with a frown on his face. He vaguely felt that something was approaching him.

He looked carefully and saw something swimming towards him on the shore.

Houyi held his breath and stared at something in the river vigilantly.

Gradually, Houyi saw the creatures in the water clearly. His pupils suddenly contracted and his face became solemn. These were creatures he had never seen before.

Houyi recognized that it had a body similar to that of a crocodile, but with four limbs.

It opened its bloody mouth, flashing a cold light, and its sharp fangs shone with a cold luster.

It is dark all over, with dense scales on its dorsal fin. Every time it swings its tail, it stirs up violent waves, which is horrifying to the eye.

It was extremely fast and reached Houyi in the blink of an eye. It raised its claws and grabbed Houyi's head fiercely.

"Evil beast, please don't harm my son's life."

At the critical moment, there was a roar from the river bank, and at the same time, Houyi felt a powerful force attacking him.

Hou Yi hurriedly moved sideways to avoid it, but was still half a step too late and was scratched by its sharp claws.

Houyi roared angrily and glared at it angrily. His eyes were bloodshot as if they were about to drip blood.

This black monster is called Crocodile Dragon Beast, and its strength is almost the same as Houyi. It was originally sleeping at the bottom of the water, and suddenly heard shouting from the river bank, so it climbed up the river bank and swam towards this side.

Hou Yi was furious and roared, "How dare you hurt my child, you evil creature?"

Houyi drew out the stone axe on his back and chopped directly at the crocodile dragon beast. He vowed to kill this evil beast.

The crocodile dragon dodged flexibly and took the opportunity to bite Houyi's arm. Blood splattered everywhere and the bone was visible.

The crocodile dragon roared, obviously not expecting that it would be injured. It stared at Hou Yi ferociously and pounced on him again.

Houyi fought back, and the two fought in the water, with splashes of water rising into the sky.

As the two fought, the space around them was shaking.

The river water was churning, Houyi's blood dyed the entire surface of the water red, and corpses, pieces of flesh, and torn clothes were floating in the river.

On the river bank, the tribe leader saw Hou Yi fighting with the crocodile dragon beast and shouted worriedly: "Brother Hou Yi, keep your voice down. Don't let the crocodile dragon beast escape. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles. It is very vengeful."

Hou Yi glared at the river and said coldly: "Patriarch, put it down. I must kill this beast today."

After Hou Yi finished speaking, he swung the stone axe and attacked the crocodile dragon beast frantically. Although the crocodile dragon beast was ferocious, it was not strong enough. In addition, it had just experienced a fierce fight and was seriously injured. It was no match for Hou Yi at all, and was quickly suppressed by Hou Yi and retreated step by step.

Houyi held a stone axe and chopped at the crocodile dragon's neck continuously.

The crocodile dragon's neck was cut off by Houyi, and blood gushed out, dyeing the river surface red. The crocodile dragon roared in pain, rolled and struggled, and its huge body rolled up a huge whirlpool.

Houyi threw it into the river, and the water kept churning.

Watching the crocodile dragon beast gradually disappear, Houyi breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The clan leader stepped forward and asked with concern: "Brother Houyi, are you okay? Hurry and wipe off the dirt on your body."

Hou Yi waved his hands, calmed his breath, and said, "Don't worry, clan leader. I'm fine."

Then he asked, "Chief, have you ever heard that there are many ferocious birds and beasts in the grassland near our Xiqi?"

The clan leader replied, "Brother Houyi, you are talking about ferocious beasts like the Black Wind Eagle and the Fire Cloud Wolf? It is said that those beasts have been extinct for a long time. What happened? Are they in danger again?"

Hou Yi shook his head and said in a deep voice: "That's not the case. I just encountered this crocodile dragon beast in the river."

Houyi told the patriarch what had just happened.

"Brother Houyi, you are so lucky, otherwise, you would have died in the belly of the crocodile dragon beast. Look at the body of the crocodile dragon beast, I guess you won't even be enough to fill its teeth." The patriarch said thankfully.

Houyi nodded in agreement.

"Brother Houyi, let's go." The patriarch urged.

"Yeah." Houyi replied.

Afterwards, the two returned to the tribe.

After returning to the tribe, Houyi began to make elixir. The tribe leader did not disturb him and turned away.

Houyi strung the pill through branches and walked into the small wooden house in the tribe.

This log cabin was built in the central area of ​​the tribe and was used for tribal sacrifices.

Houyi sat cross-legged in the room and began to refine the elixir.

Soon, the fragrance spread, making people feel refreshed and comfortable.

"What a magical pill." Houyi couldn't help but admire.

This elixir exudes an alluring aroma and reveals a rich fluctuation of vital energy, which is much stronger than ordinary elixirs.

Hou Yi swallowed the pill and suddenly his whole body felt hot and his skin turned red, as if he was in a furnace. His body temperature rose rapidly and his skin was about to crack.

Houyi clenched his teeth and forced himself to suppress the burning sensation in his body.

After a while, Houyi's body returned to normal, and his body was filled with surging power.

This energy was too overbearing and Hou Yi could not control it at all, so he chose to stop for the time being.

Houyi tried to mobilize this power, and slowly, his body began to swell, his muscles bulged, like a block of iron, and steam came out of his body.

After an unknown amount of time, his body grew to 20 feet tall, like an adult, with bronze skin.

Houyi opened his eyes and felt his whole body filled with strength.

"Is this the power of gods? It's so wonderful and comfortable that I can't stop." Houyi was extremely happy.

"Brother Houyi, you are awake." The tribe leader's laughter sounded outside. Houyi walked out of the wooden house and felt the cool breeze blowing in his face. Feeling the fresh air, he immediately felt refreshed.

"Chief, I would like to ask you for a favor." Houyi said with a bright smile.

"Oh?" The patriarch asked in confusion.

Hou Yi pointed to the big pit next to him and explained, "Just now, the crocodile dragon beast broke into my hometown. I was going to kill it, but because I am not good at fighting, I need the help of the tribe leader."

The tribe leader was surprised. He didn't expect Houyi to be so powerful that he could kill the crocodile dragon beast by himself.

However, he was a little skeptical of Hou Yi's words. After all, he had never seen a crocodile dragon beast, and he had no idea of ​​its strength.

Hou Yi continued to explain: "The crocodile dragon beast was seriously injured just now. I want to use your power to kill it. I hope the tribe leader can help me."

The tribe leader wanted to refuse, as he was afraid that Houyi would show off his strength and suffer in the end.

However, thinking that the threat posed by the Crocodile Dragon Beast was too great and keeping it would always be a hidden danger, he agreed.

"Since Brother Houyi trusts me, let's go and kill it now." said the patriarch.

Hou Yi smiled and said, "Thank you for your efforts, Chief. Let's go."

At that moment, Houyi followed the patriarch, and the two of them walked towards the distance.

Before we knew it, we were already dozens of kilometers away from Xiqi. The journey was long and required us to travel through mountains and rivers.

The two of them walked and stopped, walked and stopped, and it took them three full days before they finally arrived at Houyi's lair.

There are many peaks here, the mountains are rolling and the ancient trees are towering.

Deep in the mountains, there are many plants growing, the green shade covers the sky, bringing vitality to people.

The clan leader looked at the mountains in front of him and said in amazement: "What a majestic aura! This is indeed a treasure land. No wonder Brother Houyi can obtain so many rare and precious herbs."

“Haha, Chief, you’re too kind.” Houyi said with a smile.

"Chief, please wait a moment. I will pick some rare and precious herbs right away."

Houyi found some magical herbs and several thousand-year-old human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum, then said goodbye to the patriarch and returned to the tribe.

Hou Yi handed the magical herbs and Polygonum multiflorum to the clan leader and said, "These things can increase your lifespan, especially those magical herbs, which can ensure that you live for ten thousand years."

"Brother Houyi, how can our tribe accept such a valuable thing?" the tribe leader declined.

Hou Yi smiled faintly and said, "If it weren't for your help, I would have been buried in the belly of that stinky loach. Besides, you saved my life, how can a mere gift be a substitute for repaying your kindness?"

Houyi spoke very seriously and he was not a pretentious person.

After hearing this, the tribe leader felt very ashamed. Houyi made such great sacrifices for the tribe, but received no reward.

Hou Yi continued, "Chief, don't worry. I will assign someone to guard these things."

The clan leader thought for a moment and said, "Well, in that case, I will accept it. Brother Houyi, when will you leave Xiqi?"

Hou Yi looked at the clan leader and said, "I want to break through as soon as possible. When my strength reaches the Daluo Jinxian, I will leave Xiqi."

“It’s too difficult to break through to the Golden Immortal Realm. I’m afraid we won’t have the chance to become immortals in this lifetime.” The clan leader sighed.

Hou Yi smiled slightly and said, "Don't be discouraged, clan leader. When I break through to the Golden Immortal Realm, I will teach you how to break through. You will have a great chance of advancing to the Immortal Realm."

The clan leader exclaimed: "Can you break through the Golden Immortal Realm?"

Houyi nodded solemnly.

The tribe leader was shaking with excitement and said, "Brother Houyi, thank you, thank you for helping the tribe."

Hou Yi shook his hand and said, "These are what I should do. Chief, you don't have to be polite. For me, breaking through realms is a human's duty."

After saying this, Houyi was about to leave.

At this time, the tribe leader called Houyi and said, "Brother Houyi, please stay. I have some questions to ask you."

"Huh?" Houyi was stunned.

"What is it? Chief Ru, tell me."

The clan leader hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "Brother Houyi, have you ever seen the phoenix mentioned in the legend? Does it really exist?"

When Houyi heard the patriarch mention the phoenix, his face froze instantly.

Seeing this, the clan leader quickly explained: "Don't panic, brother Houyi, I have no ill will towards the phoenix. I just want to obtain its Nirvana blood in order to break through to the Golden Immortal."

Hou Yi heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "The Phoenix does exist."

"Brother Houyi, have you really seen the phoenix?" the clan leader exclaimed.

Hou Yi confirmed: "Indeed, I have seen it. Its name is Qingluan. I met her in Kunlun Xu. She once said that if I am in danger, I can awaken her bloodline power."

Upon hearing this, the clan leader showed ecstasy on his face, and he said excitedly: "Brother Houyi, I am willing to use all my resources to support you in breaking through the Daluo Jinxian realm, and even give you my life."

Hou Yi shook his head and said, "No, my goal is not the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, but the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Realm."

The clan leader frowned and said, "Brother Hou Yi, can you tell me the reason? I don't understand why you want to give up the breakthrough to the Primordial Golden Immortal."

“Haha.” Hou Yi smiled and did not hide anything, explaining: “It is too difficult to break through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal. Unless there is a miracle or opportunity, I will never be able to step into the Hunyuan Golden Immortal.”

“So that’s how it is.” The clan leader nodded to show that he understood, and then asked: “Brother Houyi, as far as I know, the difficulty of breaking through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal is far greater than that of ordinary immortals. I wonder how you did it?”

Hou Yi smiled and said, "It's actually very simple. I have Hongmeng Purple Qi, which can refine the Chaos Qi in the Chaos Bell. By slowly absorbing it, there will always be a chance for me to step into the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Realm."

“What? Hongmeng Purple Qi? You actually have Hongmeng Purple Qi, how is this possible?” the clan leader said in shock.

Although he is not an alchemist, he is very familiar with Hongmeng Purple Qi, which is the second rarest mysterious substance in the world.

Hou Yi smiled and said, "Yes, this is the Hongmeng Purple Qi. Look at this bead, it is the Hongmeng Purple Qi."

Houyi took out the Jade Plate of Creation and handed it to the patriarch for his viewing.

"It is indeed the Hongmeng Purple Qi. I have seen this mysterious substance with my own eyes." The patriarch exclaimed.

Hou Yi smiled slightly and said, "I wonder if the clan leader believes me. Even if I sell this Hongmeng purple energy, it will be worth more than 100 billion."

"Believe me, Brother Houyi is telling the truth. You have saved the lives of our people. Even if you sell them for money, we will have no complaints." said the clan leader.

Hou Yi waved his hand and said, "Forget about selling it. I am a poor man. I don't have money to buy things, and I don't want to do such a wicked thing."

"Since you don't plan to sell it, do you recognize this jade?" Houyi suddenly asked.

"What is this?" When the patriarch saw the Jade Plate of Creation, his eyes widened and his face was full of surprise.

Hou Yi smiled faintly and said, "I got the Jade Plate of Creation from Kunlun Xu. I wonder if the clan leader can recognize it."

“Of course I know it. It was evolved from the Green Lotus of Creation. Its value is immeasurable. How could you be willing to give it to me?” The clan leader said in shock.

Hou Yi said, "Chief, I don't know what the Green Lotus of Fortune is. This treasure is just a hindrance to me. Besides, I can't use it. I'd better give it to you. I hope you can cultivate this jade stone well in the future."

Hou Yi handed the Jade Plate of Creation to the tribe leader and warned him, "Remember, this matter must not be leaked, otherwise the whole Xiqi will suffer."
