Pushing martial arts horizontally: starting from depriving the mantis shrimp of its talent

Chapter 29 The Demon
The monster's steps suddenly stopped. Although its green vertical pupils were full of desire for Chen Cheng's black claws, there was a trace of human hesitation.

At this time, although it had regenerated its lower body, the exoskeleton on the body obviously did not have the same regeneration ability, and the lower body was all red muscles.

At this time, Chen Cheng had already seen the fire in his residence getting brighter and brighter, and it was obvious that the flames had spread.

"Go away!"

"Master, get up quickly!"

"Quickly put out the fire!"

As the sound of gongs and drums sounded, many people woke up from their sleep, grabbed the containers around them, whether it was a washbasin or a urinal, filled it with water and hurried over.

Listening to the approaching footsteps, the monster seemed to have finally made up its mind. He turned its head, kicked off its feet, and silently jumped onto the roof. After a few bounces, it disappeared from Chen Cheng's sight.

Chen Cheng did not relax immediately to prevent the monster from retaliate.

When the surrounding neighbors came to put out the fire, Chen Cheng threw away most of his torn clothes and covered the lower half of the monster's body before rushing into the fire. After a few seconds, the flames bulged outward and a figure rushed out of it. out.

Chen Cheng held the banknotes and meat in his arms, but as for other things, as long as he had money, he could buy them.

"The secret book of the Blade Breaker Claw was also burned."

"Fortunately, I have memorized all the secrets in my mind."

Soon, with the concerted efforts of everyone, the fire was put out.

Chen Cheng thanked everyone.

After dawn, Chen Cheng wrapped half of the monster's body in clothes and came to the boxing gym and went straight to the inner courtyard.

"Master, I was attacked by a monster last night."

"monster?"

Old Man Ma raised his head in surprise.

"Well, I brought half of the monster's body."

"Let me see"

Chen Cheng did not take off his clothes immediately and looked embarrassed.

"This monster is a bit strange. It turns into gravel when it is hit by the sun."

Upon hearing this feature, Old Man Ma's face suddenly became serious, he stood up and said in a deep voice with his hands behind his back.
"Come in with me!"

Chen Cheng followed Old Man Ma into the house obediently and closed the door behind his back.

"Open it"

Chen Cheng opened the clothes covering his hands and dropped the half of his body covered with a dark exoskeleton on the ground.

"Hmm~"

Old Man Ma walked to the monster's body and squatted down. He reached out and fiddled with the monster's bony tail and sickle-like claws a few times. He slowly stood up and paced back and forth in the room.

After a long time, Old Man Ma stopped and sighed.

"Forget it! You are my direct disciple. Since you have already come into contact with me, I won't hide it from you."

Chen Cheng was confused.

Seeing his confused look, Old Man Ma explained

"Did the monster you encountered last night regenerate very quickly?"

Chen Cheng nodded.
"The disciple used the Thunder Breaking Style to tear it in half, but in just a few breaths, the front half of the leading body grew back again."

"That's right"

Old Man Ma sat down on the chair again.

"This monster is called a demon. It is a dangerous creature that can only move at night."

"Ghost?"

Hearing this name, Chen Cheng frowned. Wasn't he traveling through the world of martial arts? Why did the strange vocabulary of cultivating immortals suddenly appear?

"Yes, the reason why demons and ghosts appear is because of something called a different species."

Chen Cheng's eyes moved when he heard what he had seen on the colorful snake meat and the black-striped Tai Sui meat.

Old man Ma continued to introduce
"No one knows where the alien species came from. They only know that the more creatures die in a place, the more likely it is that alien species will emerge."

"Ordinary creatures will turn into monsters if they accidentally eat alien species."

"Monsters are extremely cruel. The first thing they do after turning into a demon is to kill and eat their closest blood relatives. After eating their blood relatives, they will prey on the same kind."

Chen Cheng frowned upon hearing this. "The demon has a very strong regeneration ability. Even if it is cut into more than a dozen pieces, it will regenerate in a very short period of time. It can be said that it is extremely difficult to deal with."

Chen Cheng couldn't help but ask

"Master, if demons and ghosts are so difficult to deal with, isn't there a way to deal with them?"

Old Man Ma stroked his beard and pondered for a while.

"There is certainly a way to deal with ghosts, and that is to divide the ghosts into more than a hundred parts between two breaths, and the size of any piece cannot exceed one percent of the ghost itself."

What Old Man Ma said was almost the same as what Chen Cheng had guessed from his talent.

Old Man Ma changed his voice

"However, I heard there is another way to kill demons!"

"what way?"

Chen Chengli immediately asked.

"There is a saying that there are upper and lower levels among monsters and ghosts, and monsters of higher and lower levels can restrain the regeneration of the same kind."

Chen Cheng was a little disappointed when he heard this. What kind of method is this?

Old Man Ma looked at his newly acquired disciple and comforted him.

"This demon may have been targeting you unintentionally, and since you broke half of its body, it should also know that you are not easy to mess with, and may look for another target later."

"The original forms of monsters and ghosts may be from various races. During the day, alien species are afraid of the sun, so they will change back to their original form. Monsters and ghosts are just like ordinary creatures and do not have abilities at night."

"If you are still worried, you can stay in the boxing gym. There are still many empty yards in the boxing gym."

"There are so many people here, that monster will definitely not dare to come."

Chen Cheng knew that the demon ghost did not choose a random person, but only targeted those who practiced the Breaking Edge Claw.

He had already cultivated the Blade Breaking Claw to the first blood level, and his attraction to that demon ghost was probably far greater than that of ordinary people, and it was impossible for it to give up.

Faced with Old Man Ma's proposal, he thought for a moment before rejecting it, but he did not reject it completely.

His current progress rate is all driven by the high-quality energy and blood generated by the black hand and the sharp claws. To generate energy and blood, the black hands and black claws must be released. No one can know this.

So he planned to find a new place to practice martial arts during the day and return to the boxing gym at night.

After leaving the boxing gym, Chen Cheng walked on the street, holding half of the demon's body wrapped in clothes, still thinking about the demon and ghost.

"Hey! I've been too relaxed lately."

Chen Cheng sighed.

"I have already speculated on the abilities possessed by demons and ghosts after being parasitized by alien species, but I subconsciously did not want to waste energy and make corresponding precautions."

"This lesson has sounded a wake-up call for me. I need to think more about everything and make more preparations."

Chen Cheng's eyes became firm.

He found Yaxing again and asked them to find themselves a house with a huge basement.

It's still not safe to practice in the yard. If some naughty child climbs the wall and sees the sharp claws on his three hands, it will be hard to explain.

But when you practice in the basement, you can completely let go and don't worry about being seen by anyone.

Soon, Yaxing looked through the thick house book and found a house that met his requirements. He followed Yaren to check it out on the spot. Chen Cheng was satisfied with Yaren's quote and rented it.

This is a second-entry courtyard close to the outskirts, a little far away, but the advantage is that the basement is large enough and there are not many people around.

This was originally a winery, and the basement was also the cellar used by the winery to store wine.

It was okay at first, but later on, after the wine was stored in the cellar, not only did the astringent taste not go away, but it also became very bitter. Regular customers didn't buy it, the wine couldn't be sold, and they still owed a lot of debt. , the factory owner could only sell the factory to Yahang at a low price, and then run away with the money.

Originally, the tooth shop thought it was profitable, but later it was discovered that there was something wrong with the wine cellar. Several people who saw it shook their heads and refused to buy.

Moreover, in order to prevent the house from rotting and becoming less valuable, it is necessary to constantly find people to maintain it.

No money was made, and a lot of maintenance fees were lost. Seeing that someone finally wanted to take over, they had to do it even if they didn't make a profit or even suffered a small loss.

Because it is close to the suburbs, although the factory building is large, it is not expensive and is similar to Chen Cheng's previous house.

Chen Cheng sold the original land, added a little more, and took the full price.

Arriving underground, Chen Cheng looked at the wine cellar, which was half the size of a football field, with satisfaction on his face.

"All that's left is to improve the ventilation of the wine cellar, and it will be a perfect place to practice."
