Pushing the Three Thousand Worlds

Chapter 258 Encounter in the Forest (Two in One)

At noon, the sun rises high

In a brightly lit room.

Li Qiu was dressed in a black robe, with his eyes closed and concentrated, sitting cross-legged on the bed, the flow of energy and blood in his body made strange noises like sea tides, making one feel as if he was in front of the vast and boundless sea.

He is tempering his own bone marrow with Qi and blood.

Although there is no follow-up technique, he can still use qi and blood to temper the bone marrow, but this kind of incomparably crude tempering, compared with the tempering with exercises, can be said to be a heaven and a ground.

Li Qiu opened his eyes, and a jade-like gentle light flashed in his eyes. After a moment of joy, he frowned.

"Without follow-up exercises, it will not work after all. This kind of cultivation speed is too slow!"

To be promoted to Martial Saint means to break through to the marrow-changing stage, of course Li Qiu has to try to temper the marrow with qi and blood.

This feeling is very strange. It is different from the previous meat training period or bone strengthening period. Qi and blood focus on tempering a certain part of the body. It is more like tempering the blood during the blood coagulation period to make all parts of the human body stronger together.

However, compared to tempering blood during the blood coagulation period, it is also somewhat different. Compared with the improvement brought about by tempering blood, the improvement brought about by tempering bone marrow is more fundamental and closer to the source!

It was like tempering blood, he was changing from a rabbit to a stronger rabbit.

And tempering the bone marrow, he is changing from a rabbit to a beast, which is the transformation of the essence of life!

Just a taste of it, the feeling of this transformation of the essence of life is hard to forget, it is so wonderful!
When he was promoted to Martial Saint, although he already had a transformation of the essence of life, and with the help of the blood thorn fruit, the degree was far beyond that of ordinary Martial Saints.

But the transformation at that time was too rapid, and there was no time for him to feel it carefully. In addition, taking the blood thorn fruit had a feeling of covering the body with thorns. After enduring the pain, the transformation of blood vessels has almost been completed.

Now that he has experienced the wonderful feeling of the transformation of the essence of life, Li Qiu can't wait to obtain the source power to derive the follow-up exercises of the Great Sun Oven Sutra, and continue this transformation of the essence of life at a faster speed.

In the morning, I went back to the Xuntian Division, met Guo Shaoyuan and Zhou Kaicheng, and practiced for a while at noon. In the afternoon, Li Qiu left Fuzhou City, ready to go to all parts of the world to kill strange things.

Jiezhou, Floating Cloud City.

To the east of Fuyun City, there is a Fuyun Mountain.

Li Qiu repaired a little in Floating Cloud City, then walked towards Floating Cloud Mountain.

The mountain lives up to its name, and when viewed from a distance, white clouds pile up like streamers, adding a bit of tranquility and mistyness.

However, according to local legend, there is a thousand-year-old snake demon hidden in the mountain, which eats countless people, so few hunters and herb collectors dare to enter the mountain to hunt and gather medicine.

This is a place that is rarely visited by people, and even fewer people set foot on it.

What Li Qiu entered the mountain was for the "thousand-year snake demon" in the mouth of the local people!
In fact, it was a monster, and it was not just an ordinary monster.

Marked on the map of the Sky Survey Division, there was once a powerful second-rank sky surveyor who entered Fuyun Mountain and never came out again.

This monster in Fuyun Mountain is very likely to be invincible during the coagulation period and even rival the strength of a martial artist!

As for its specific strength, because no one went to investigate, it is unknown.

I'm afraid only Martial Saints can walk out of Fuyun Mountain alive after investigating this strange power, but how could Guo Shaoyuan and Zhou Kaicheng have the time and energy to investigate here.

Knowing that there are powerful monsters here, just mark them on the map and let the sky surveyors pay attention.

Li Qiu came here to kill this monster, not knowing the strength of this monster, it is somewhat troublesome.

Fuyunshan is weird, he only knows its lower limit of strength, but not its upper limit.

Even with his strength of few opponents in the early stage of Wu Sheng, it is not impossible to be in danger.

However, there was no way to do this, as the situation was like this, he could only investigate by himself.

Then again, if you want to gain benefits, but don't want to take a little risk, and don't pay anything, how can there be such a good thing in the world.

Li Qiu looked cold and solemn, holding a bow with his sword on his back, he chose a random direction and entered Fuyun Mountain.

Since he only knew that the monster was in Fuyun Mountain, but didn't know where it was in Fuyun Mountain, so he could only look for it in the mountain first.

The mountains are verdant, the trees are shady, and the birds and insects are singing, just like other mountains and forests.

The only difference is that animals are rare.

Along the way, Li Qiu hardly saw any beasts.

It stands to reason that Fuyun Mountain is less visited than other mountains, so there should be more beasts.

It seems that the beast sensed the abnormality in this mountain.

There are many strange things about wild animals. For example, when the earthquake has not yet occurred, wild animals are always aware of it before humans.

In the forest, suddenly a person walked out from another direction.

A young man in a brocade robe, about 26 or [-] years old, with a high nose and wide mouth, a pair of sword eyebrows, piercing eyes, a bit of upright and brave spirit, holding a long sword in his hand.

When Li Qiu found him, he also found Li Qiu.

When he saw Li Qiu, he frowned slightly, and cupped his fists at Li Qiu.

"Brother, I don't know what you are doing in this Floating Cloud Mountain?"

Li Qiu glanced at him, but didn't speak.

The young man in brocade robe was stunned for a moment, then he reacted, waved his hand and smiled lightly.

"Brother, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else."

"My name is Zhou He, and I am the eldest disciple of the Golden Leopard Martial Arts Hall, one of the largest martial arts halls in Floating Cloud City."

"Brother, you must be an outsider, right? You may not know it. According to our local legend, there is a thousand-year-old snake demon in this Fuyun Mountain!"

"Of course, this brother thinks that you should also be a warrior. Knowing that the thousand-year-old snake demon is nothing but nonsense, it's probably a ghost or something."

"But the strength of this ghost is not bad. In the Fuyun City, there was a martial artist in the training period who died in the Fuyun Mountain. It is estimated that he died in the hands of this ghost."

"Brother, if you don't have the strength at the bone-building stage, it's best not to walk around in this Fuyun Mountain, it's better to go out early!"

Li Qiu could see that this young man in brocade robe spoke sincerely, and was really worried that he would have something good or bad in this Floating Cloud Mountain.

But he only knew one thing and didn't know the other. In fact, not only some warriors in the flesh training stage died in the hands of that ghost, but even strong men in the blood coagulation stage died in that ghost!

However, this incident happened more than 100 years ago. The second-rank sky surveyor passed by here and died in Fuyun Mountain. The officials of Fuyun City didn't know about it at that time, let alone the young man in brocade clothes more than 100 years later.

This young man in brocade clothes knew that a martial artist in the flesh training stage had died in the hands of that monster, so he thought that the monster probably had the strength of the bone-building stage, and it was normal not to think about it.

After all, his cognition should still be limited to a hundred miles around Floating Cloud City, and he has never seen a strong man stronger than the bone-building stage, so he subconsciously estimated this strange strength as the bone-building stage.

Just like when he was in Shangjiang City, if he heard that there was a ghost outside Shangjiang City that had killed a warrior in the meat training stage, he would estimate its strength as the bone-building stage. , will try to kill it to gain source power, and do the same thing as this brocade-clothed youth.

Who would have thought that in a small town where the strongest is only in the late bone-building stage, not far away in the mountains and forests, there is a terrifying ghost whose strength may be comparable to that of a martial saint!
Thinking about it, he was lucky, at that time he did not encounter a situation similar to this young man in brocade clothes, otherwise he would have died at this time.

"My name is Li Qiu. You said that you don't have the strength at the bone-building stage, so it's best not to walk around in this Fuyun Mountain, what about you?"

"Although I am young, under the guidance of my teacher, I already have the strength in the late bone strengthening stage. I am going to Fuyun Mountain to kill that ghost!"

"The so-called relying on mountains to eat mountains depends on water to eat water. Without this ghost, Fuyun Mountain can come and go freely, which will be a good thing for Fuyun City and the people nearby!"

Zhou He said seriously.

He wants to kill the ghost of Fuyun Mountain for the sake of Fuyun City and the people with a radius of hundreds of miles!
At this age, he has the strength in the late stage of the bone strengthening stage. This Zhou He is considered a rare genius, and his aptitude is almost no worse than that of Cao Shao, who had the blood of a martial artist at that time.

Of course not all people with high aptitude have the blood of a martial sage.

Li Qiu's expression moved slightly, and he turned to ask.

"You said you wanted to kill the ghost of Fuyun Mountain, but do you know where that ghost is?"

Zhou He smiled.

"Although it is well known that Fuyun Mountain has a thousand-year-old snake demon, there are still many brave herbal and firewood collectors who are forced by life to risk their lives to enter Fuyun Mountain."

"Some of them unfortunately died in the hands of the ghost, and the remaining living people figured out the general direction of the ghost."

"After some careful inquiries, I got to know this by luck."

"Oh?"

Li Qiu's expression moved slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Actually, I was passing through Fuyun City. I heard that the local thousand-year-old snake demon knew that it was a ghost that harmed people, and I wanted to kill it. That's why I entered Fuyun Mountain."

Zhou He frowned.

This person's intention to kill ghosts is good, but if he is not strong enough, he will take his own life for nothing.

Just when Zhou He was about to say the words in his heart euphemistically.

Li Qiu continued.

"Although I look younger, I actually have the strength to deal with that ghost."

Zhou He was slightly surprised, and then his expression brightened.

"Brother Li also has the strength of the bone-building stage, so how about we go together and kill that ghost together?"

"It couldn't be better."

"Brother Li, please!"

Zhou He didn't suspect that Li Qiu was lying either. After hearing his introduction, Li Qiu still dared to say that, so he should really have the strength in the bone-building period.

After all, he thought no one would take his own life as a joke.

Although Li Qiu looked very young, even looked younger than him!
But he didn't underestimate the people of the world just because of his high aptitude.

At this age, it is not impossible for Li Qiu to possess the strength of the bone-building stage.

He is not a person who is greedy for fame and fortune, and he does not have the idea of ​​killing this ghost alone to make a name for himself.

That being the case, why not have one more person and one more force.

The two went together, led by Zhou He, to the depths of Fuyun Mountain.

Along the way, the two chatted casually.

When they really reached the depths of Fuyun Mountain, the two of them stopped talking and focused their attention on their surroundings, so as not to be attacked by that ghost.

But the difference is that Zhou He thought that the strength of that monster might be comparable to that of a warrior at the bone-building stage, while Li Qiu thought that that monster might have the strength of a martial saint.

In the depths of Fuyun Mountain.

A strange trace suddenly appeared on the ground in front of the two of them. The low vegetation was roughly crushed and pressed against the ground, and the trace meandered forward.

A snake had obviously passed by, leaving this trail.

However, judging from the size of the trace, if it wasn't artificially forged, this snake would probably be as thick as a human waist, and several feet long!It can be called a giant snake!
The two stopped in their tracks, and Li Qiu's expression changed slightly.

Every time he encounters an unknown strangeness, he will go to the city near the birthplace of the strangeness to inquire about the news.

Mainly inquire about local legends about weirdness.

Although it is nonsense to talk about mandrills, sprites, and goblins
But he can often find out about the weirdness from the legend.

Floating Cloud City's legend about this weird one is that it is a thousand-year-old snake demon, and there is basically no other theory.

This proves that the monster in Fuyun Mountain should really have something to do with snakes.

The traces seen now are probably left by that weird one.

Weird couldn't get out of his birthplace, and the trace in front of them meant that they had unknowingly stepped into the birthplace of Weird, and Weird might be nearby!

Zhou He looked surprised and curious at the same time.

He knows that ghosts refer to ghosts and weirdness, and he also knows the characteristics of ghosts and weirdness.

He even killed a ghost with his own hands, but he had never seen anything strange.

He heard that the strange appearance is different from that of ghosts, and some are strange, so he wanted to see it with his own eyes.

The ghost in Fuyun Mountain should be a weird one.

Looking at the traces in front of him, it is not difficult to estimate that he will see this monster soon.

"I don't know what this monster looks like."

Zhou He thought about it, and was about to continue walking forward to examine the trace carefully, but was stopped by Li Qiu's hand.

"Brother Li?"

Zhou He was puzzled.

Li Qiu looked serious.

"We have entered the birthplace of that monster, you are not the opponent of that monster, before that monster appears, you should go back the same way..."

Zhou He was even more puzzled.

He felt that Li Qiu seemed to be a different person suddenly, his aura was a bit overwhelming, and there was an inexplicable force in his words.

Although it didn't look like Li Qiu was lying to him, Zhou He couldn't help but asked in doubt.
"Why? Brother Li knows something that I don't?"

"This monster is not just the strength of the bone-building stage as you think, it may have the strength to rival the martial arts!"

"Rival to the Martial Saint?!"

Zhou He's complexion changed drastically, and he instinctively refuted.

"how is this possible?!"

He looked at Li Qiu's young face with suspicion.

"Brother Li, are you joking with me and trying to scare me?"

If Li Qiu told him that this monster had invincibility in the bone-building stage or the strength in the viscera-raising stage, he might believe it.

But to fight against the Martial Saint, in his opinion, it's a bit too bizarre, he really can't believe it!
And that monster has the strength to rival the Martial Saint, Li Qiu let him go but wants to stay, doesn't it mean that he has the strength to rival the Martial Saint? !

　The power went out two days ago because a person in the town drank too much and broke the electric pole with his car. It was repaired at two o'clock in the middle of the night.

　　As a result, today it seems that it was not completely repaired last time, and something went wrong again, and the power went out again. The call came after eight o'clock, but fortunately, the call came, otherwise the normal update that was agreed yesterday would not be completed today.

　　However, due to the late call, I have only coded two chapters now, and everyone has been waiting for a long time.
