Celestial being

After Yuan Ming ate half of the venison leg, he took the remaining cooked meat with him and returned to the tree house. He found that Ha Gong was still awake. After thinking about it for a moment, he took out a yellow bamboo tube as thick as his thumb from his arms.

He pulled out the wooden plug from the bamboo tube and immediately put it under Hagun's nose.

A cool and exciting smell immediately rushed into Ha Gong's nostrils. His nose suddenly wrinkled, he let out a soft breath, and gradually became conscious.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Ming immediately removed the bamboo tube and sealed it again.

After Ha Gong woke up, he took a deep breath. The injuries on his body made him grimace in pain. It took him a long time to recover, and then he saw Yuan Ming standing by.

"Brother Yuan, you saved me again." Ha Gong said with gratitude in his eyes.

After that, he struggled to get up, but Yuan Ming held his shoulders and pushed him back.

"The wound on your stomach is not serious. It won't heal for a while, so don't move in a hurry. Tell me, what's going on? Those two guys from Hyena Hall have no ability to hurt you."

After listening to Yuan Ming's question, Ha Gong did not answer immediately. Instead, he slightly raised his head and glanced at his abdomen. Seeing that it had been bandaged, he lay down again.

"If I wasn't injured, they wouldn't be able to hurt me. I encountered a monster." Hagon said with a hint of fear on his face.

"Monster? Not a ferocious beast?" Yuan Ming suddenly became interested when he heard this statement.

"I...I'm not sure either. But that thing is definitely different from the ferocious beasts we usually see. I don't think it is a ferocious beast." Hagon said after a slight hesitation.

"What does it look like? Tell me?" Yuan Ming said.

He has the "Illustrated Book of Common Ferocious Beasts" given by Zhao Tong. Even if he has never seen the common vicious beasts that appear in the mountains, he is confident that he can identify them.

Yuan Ming wanted to see what kind of monster Ha Gong was talking about?

After hearing this, Hagun took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes, as if he was carefully recalling his previous experiences, and as if he was trying to calm his mind.

After a moment, he opened his eyes again and looked at Yuan Ming.

"The thing that hurt me is no more than eight feet tall. It is covered with long white hair and has sharp black claws. When it walks, it stands upright like a human, but when it runs, it uses both hands and feet. It looks like a savage and a beast. The most important thing is , His roar is like the wail of a human being, making people feel chills running down their spines when they hear it." Hagun slowly described.

"That's it?" Yuan Ming asked suspiciously when he saw him stop.

"These are just external weirdnesses. When I was fighting with it, I found that not only was this thing as tough as iron, but it also seemed to have no pain at all. It didn't defend itself at all during the fight, and it was almost a suicide attack. It was almost a suicide attack. My long knife could cut it. It got into its neck, but it didn't even try to dodge. It resisted and seriously injured me with one claw. If I hadn't fallen under a waterfall and been washed away by the water, I would have ended up there this time. ." Hagun shook his head and said with lingering fear.

After hearing this, Yuan Ming touched his chin with one hand and fell into deep thought.

"If it's true as Hagon said, it's really a monster." He compared it carefully in his mind, and then he was disappointed to find that there was really no corresponding ferocious beast in the "Illustrated Book of Frequent Fierce Beasts".

"Do you have a clue?" Ha Gong looked at Yuan Ming and asked.

Yuan Ming shook his head and then said: "I was just about to go to Toad Valley. I'll ask Zhao Tong about this damn thing you mentioned. He might know."

"That's fine." Hagun nodded.

"This is a temporary shelter of mine. The location is not very secluded, but no one usually comes here. You rest here tonight, I will guard it." Yuan Ming warned.

"Brother Yuan, I will never thank you for your kindness, and I will definitely repay you generously in the future." Ha Gong clasped his fists and said sincerely.

"Let's not talk about this first, let's have something to eat." Yuan Ming smiled and waved his hand, passing over half of the deer leg meat in his hand.

…

Late at night, the dim light of the crescent moon leaked through the gaps in the tree house.

Yuan Ming leaned against the wall of the tree house, and finally fell asleep due to sleepiness. The moonlight gently covered his body like a veil, and his subtle snores echoed in the tree house.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a cat meowing.

Yuan Ming woke up suddenly, his eyes suddenly opened, and when he subconsciously wanted to get up, he found that he could not move at all. For a moment, he felt as if he was out of his body, and he couldn't tell whether he was in a dream or reality.

In the trance, a vague female voice sounded intermittently, sometimes like someone whispering in the ear, sometimes like someone talking through the door, sometimes far and sometimes near, erratic.

"eccentric……"

"What is the soul..."

"interesting……"

There was an indescribable psychedelic feeling in that voice. As Yuan Ming listened, he felt dizzy, his eyelids heavy, and he was about to fall asleep.

But just before he completely lost consciousness, a small silver-white shadow suddenly flashed past the gap in the door panel of the tree house.

It seems like a silver-white cat?

After a sleepy night, it wasn't until the morning light of the next day shone through the cracks in the tree house's planks on Yuan Ming's face that he slowly opened his eyes and woke up.

He rubbed his brows and sat up, unable to help but recall his dream last night, feeling a little ridiculous in his heart.

But despite the absurdity, the strange sense of reality, especially the sense of being out of control, which did not look like a dream when he thought about it carefully, made him unable to let it go for a long time.

He shook his head, got up and checked Hagun's injuries, and found that he had recovered a lot. Seeing that he was still sleeping, he had to wake him up.

"I have to go out. You must be more careful here alone." Yuan Ming warned.

"Don't worry, I will be careful myself. You should also take it easy. I'm afraid the Green Wolf Gang and the Hyena Hall will target you next." Ha Gong nodded and said.

Yuan Ming nodded at him, opened the door of the tree house, and walked out.

But the moment he bent down and walked out of the house, Yuan Ming couldn't help but froze.

"Is this...that silver cat?" An uninvited guest appeared in front of him.

On one of the horizontal branches extending out to support the tree house, a silver cat with bright fur, about half a foot tall, was squatting two or three steps away from him, glaring with a pair of golden and amber eyes. , staring straight at him.

A round head, not much bigger than Yuan Ming's fist, looked up and down from high up to down, as if he was carefully looking Yuan Ming up and down, which made Yuan Ming extremely surprised.

Thinking of last night's dream again, something strange arose in Yuan Ming's heart.

"Were you the one who talked to me last night?" Yuan Ming asked.

Silver Cat looked at him for a moment, then his head suddenly tilted slightly to one side, as if he didn't understand what Yuan Ming was talking about, and he looked like he was looking at a fool.

"Am I really... can you believe in dreams?" Yuan Ming was speechless for a while and laughed at himself.

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly jumped out like a cheetah and grabbed the silver cat.

When his hands were about to touch, the silver cat swayed lightly and dodged Yuan Ming's big hand, then landed on his arm, jumped up again like a dragonfly touching water, and jumped to another branch.

Yuan Ming jumped into the air, hugged the horizontal branch, and turned to look.

He saw the silver cat holding its head high and walking on the horizontal branch, casting a disdainful look at him.

The silver cat walked in a strange way. It did not raise or curl its tail like other cats, but its long tail drooped and dragged on the ground, covering its buttocks tightly.

"Am I being despised by a cat?" Yuan Ming suddenly raised his eyebrows.

"Brother Yuan, what's wrong?" Ha Gong's voice came from the tree house.

"It's okay." Yuan Ming responded.

When he looked back, the silver cat had completely disappeared from sight.

"Speaking of which, why does this cat look familiar? It seems like I have seen it somewhere before?" Yuan Ming scratched the back of his head and murmured to himself.

…

In Toad Valley, in front of the stone house.

Yuan Ming handed over the supplies he had saved recently to Zhao Tong.

"How's it going? Did you get the swordsmanship skills?" Yuan Ming asked with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Zhao Tong looked up at him, curled his lips and shook his head.

"Our Biluodong is not a swordsmanship sect. Such skills are rare and cannot be obtained so easily. I am not afraid to tell you the truth. Some of the secret skills sold in the valley are actually from the elders of the sect. Release it in exchange for resources for yourself. Those of us who are disciples only earn a fee for running errands. How can we have the courage to teach the skills privately? Therefore, what you can buy is completely a matter of luck. It depends on the elders who are willing to sell it. What?" Zhao Tong explained helplessly under Yuan Ming's questioning gaze.

"Are there any good products recently?" Yuan Ming also looked away and asked.

"It really is..." Zhao Tong heard this, stroked his chin and thought for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up.

As he spoke, he rummaged through the box behind him, took out a cyan book, and placed it in front of Yuan Ming.

"You're lucky, kid. This "Shadowless Step" was just given to me by Elder Lu recently. The resources you accumulated from me are almost enough to replace it." Zhao Tong said with a smile.

"What's the use of this technique?" Yuan Ming frowned and asked after hearing this.

"This is not an attack technique, it is a body technique, and it will definitely be useful to you." Zhao Tong lowered his voice and said somewhat mysteriously.

"I would like to hear the details." Yuan Ming said noncommittally.

"It is a training method that can greatly enhance your physical agility. It cannot improve your magic power, nor can it directly enhance your combat power, but it can give you more ways to save your life when fighting in close combat with others." Zhao Tong explained.

Hearing this, Yuan Ming pondered deeply.

After knowing that the art of fur covering had backlash, he was eager to obtain a swordsmanship technique to enhance his strength against the enemy, hoping to be able to kill ferocious beasts without using the art of fur covering.

It's probably hard to find swordsmanship skills nowadays, so it would be a good choice to learn this secret body skill.

"Then how effective is this shadowless step?" Yuan Ming asked again while thinking.
