Hell Emperor

Chapter 35 Xia Wei-Leize’s Adventures

Before going deep into Leize, Ye Jie took the initiative to give instructions: "You stay here first, don't move around, and explore the way for the teacher. When it is confirmed that there is no danger ahead, you can follow."

Xia Wei looked worried: "Didn't Master say that the fierce and domineering power of thunder is the nemesis of the soul? Even if a ghost is hit by thunder, his soul will be scattered. Will Master be in danger here? "

Ye Jie waved his hand to signal her to relax:

"There are few soul-refining and soul-building monsters among the monsters. They can't easily detect me. The soul body has this advantage. The monsters that can detect me are all at the third or fourth level. With the power of thunder, if you meet me, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape. I have the Shukuchi Stone on me, so if I encounter any danger, the monsters won't be able to stop me."

After listening to Ye Jie's explanation, Xia Wei reluctantly agreed. The Shuchi Stone in Oni's hand can be said to be a weapon for escaping, but unfortunately only the soul can use it. In the hands of a living creature with a sound body, the Shuchi Stone is just a stubborn stone, no different from a random stone picked up by the roadside.

After Ye Jie left, Xia Wei's heart has been hanging, and she doesn't know what happened to the master. Is she in danger? She pursed her lips and clenched the corners of her clothes restlessly with her little fists, unable to rest for a moment.

It was not until a stick of incense had passed that Ye Jie returned. Xia Wei also patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "Master, you are finally back... If you don't come back, Xiao Wei will go to Leize to find you." ”

Ye Jie scratched his head: "Didn't I tell you not to move around... Forget it. I found a monster that can help you practice. We'd better find a cage and catch it."

Xia Wei was puzzled: "Cage? Do you mean those iron cages used to trap beasts?"

Ye Jie shook his head: "Iron belongs to gold, and thunder also belongs to gold. Iron can conduct the power of thunder and lightning. It is not a good idea to use an iron cage to trap thunder beasts. Let me see... I think those gray and white rocks are good. "

Following what Ye Jie pointed out, Xia Wei also saw the rugged mountain wall that was still standing in place after being bombarded by lightning. Under the erosion of lightning, the surface of the mountain wall was pitted, and the strong wind blew through, and one could still hear the chilling sound. Whining sound.

After Ye Jie's careful selection, Xia Wei also came to a concave mountain wall. She meditated on her exercises, and a huge amount of spiritual power poured into her arms. Her muscles tightened and she obtained With the strength of an ox and a horse, she let out a cooing sound and punched the gray-white rock.

Cracks were like spider webs, spreading along the location where she fell. The rocks shook, and the sound of the explosion was like warriors beating drums, and like thunder shaking the sky above the sky.

After a few more punches, a corner of the mountain wall fell off to the ground with a muffled sound. The oval-shaped pit inside was enough to cover a beast the size of a calf.

Xia Wei raised her right hand. The raised phalanges were covered with blood, and the back of the hand was bloody. Even with the strength of the turtle hand, she would still receive a strong shock when she hit the solid rock with her fist.

Xia Wei gritted her teeth secretly, her expression stoic and fearless. Even Ye Jie couldn't help but look a little heartbroken when she looked at it. She had endured too many things that were not for her age.

"Hurry up and run the Bailianshen... Bailianshen can speed up the healing of injuries, but the pain when you are injured still has to be borne by yourself. You have to take care of your body." Ye Jie said with emotion.

With the operation of Bai Lian Shen, the injury on Xia Wei's arm improved significantly, and no more blood flowed out. After about a cup of tea, the wound was completely healed, and even the blood was reabsorbed by her skin.

"How do you feel?" Seeing Xia Wei staring at her fist thoughtfully, Ye Jie asked.

Xia Wei reached out her hand, showed the flawless back of her hand to Ye Jie, and smiled at him calmly: "It feels good. I can feel the tempering of the body by the Bailian Body. My right hand is stronger than before. It doesn't look like this anymore. If I had hit the rock like that, there might not have been any blood flowing out."

Ye Jie glanced at the back of Xia Wei's weak hand and said with approval: "For ordinary practitioners who follow the path of body refining, as the physical body becomes stronger and stronger, their appearance will change more or less, and the skin will be full of wrinkles like sandpaper. , the color is also as bronze as copper skin and iron bone. Your skin is as fair as ever, and you don’t look like a practitioner of the body training method at all. It is enough to paralyze the enemy at the critical moment and become a surprise killer move. "

The two of them polished the fallen stone. After preparations were completed, Xia Wei used her tortoise-like hands to pick up the stone, and then went deep in the direction of the pre-exploration.

After walking for several miles, the two came to a valley with even stronger spiritual power. The sound of thunder continued, and even the earth trembled.

The surrounding area was in chaos. Broken rocks could be seen everywhere. There were still electric charges condensed on the ground. As long as you stepped on them, a thunder would explode. Ye Jie frowned:

"Just now in this thundering valley, I discovered a group of late second-order thunder worms. The power of thunder on them can help you quickly complete the Hundred Body Refining without being too seriously injured. But now Look, it’s a mess here, I don’t know what happened…”

The two searched but found nothing, and before they knew it they were deep into the valley surrounded by thunder.

Xia Wei, who was particularly sensitive to spiritual power, raised her head slightly at this moment, as if she smelled some unusual information. She climbed up the steep slope in front of her, suddenly opened her eyes wide, reached out to cover her mouth and said, "Master, what is that?" ?”

Ye Jie was puzzled and hurriedly came to Xia Wei and looked in the direction Xia Wei pointed. His pupils suddenly shrank and his expression was horrified: "No, run!"

What was left on the ground in front was a huge footprint. The footprint was one foot long and several feet deep. The claw marks were deeply embedded in the earth, as if it was about to tear the earth apart. There were fierce arcs of electricity all around. Just looking at it It makes people feel shuddering and makes it difficult to move.

Xia Wei also realized that the situation was urgent. The footprints alone were so huge. How big should the owner of the footprints be? If he was caught by it, he would be doomed, so he quickly retreated to the rear.

The two of them fled out of the valley in a panic. Xia Wei exhaled with lingering fear and asked in a trembling voice:

"Master, what kind of monster is that? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that there were such huge footprints."

Ye Jie thought to himself: "If I'm not wrong, those should be the footprints left by the great monster Kui Niu. With our current strength, even if we are only within a hundred meters of Kui Niu, we will be shaken by its thunderous roar." ash……"

Xia Wei was puzzled: "Obviously we didn't even see the shadow of the monster, how could Master know that the monster must be Kui Niu?"

Ye Jie smiled: "Xiaowei, as a practitioner, it's okay if you don't have keen observation skills. You were shocked by the size of the footprints, but you ignored more details, such as the direction of the footprints and the distance between each step. ”

Xia Wei was stunned for a moment, looking a little thoughtful, and then heard Ye Jie say: "Although it was just a quick glance, I am sure that the footprints were in the shape of hoofs, and there were no traces of feet falling alternately around them, but one foot walking alone towards At present, among the great demons with the thunder attribute, only the one-legged Kui Niu is qualified.”

Hearing this, Xia Wei exclaimed and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that Master could see so many things in a blink of an eye. Xiaowei still has many aspects to learn from Master."

"You are still young. When you gain more combat experience, these problems will not be difficult for you."

As he spoke, Ye Jie squatted down and put his palms close to the earth. Although he was far away from the Thunder Valley, the earth trembled regularly and never stopped:

"Now it seems that every tremor of the earth is the landing of Kui Niu. I didn't expect that a great demon of this level would come to the outskirts of Leize... So, there should be something hidden in this Thunder Valley. The lost mysterious temple."

"Xuansha? What is that?" Xia Wei blinked.

Ye Jie looked into the distance: "In the past, Yinglong brought disaster to the world, and the world was filled with mourning. General Li Jing asked for help from the Heavenly Court. The Jade Emperor ordered Thunder God to eradicate the troublesome dragon. Lei Gong borrowed a ray of the Nine Heavens Xuansha from Xuannv Empress. The moment the Xuansha fell, Thousands of miles around turned into vast scorched earth, and the endless thunder is still raging across the earth, eventually becoming the thunder in front of us. "

Xia Wei felt something in her heart. She raised her head and looked up at the endless thunder in the sky. There was a bit of shock in her eyes. Then she heard Ye Jie say:

"Then Li Jing, like you, is the reincarnation of an immortal. I heard from other ghosts that Li Jing held a high position in the heaven in his previous life. Hundreds of years ago, he fought against the Monkey King. I don't know if it is true or not. As for that Kui Niu must have detected the aura of Xuan Sha near the valley. For thunder beasts like it, Xuan Sha is a rare and great supplement. "

Xia Wei nodded, followed Ye Jie's example and put her hands behind her back, then quietly stood on tiptoe and said, "Are there many reincarnations of immortals in this world?"

Ye Jie seemed to be stopped by her question and scratched his head: "I can't answer this question, but I heard from others that even if you become an immortal, you will not be able to enjoy eternal peace, but will have to face the impending immortal disaster. Baptism. It seems that there are not a few immortals who choose to avoid disaster through reincarnation."

As if to relieve the embarrassment of being stumped, Ye Jie suddenly said seriously: "By the way, I have a question to ask you. You have to think carefully before answering."

Xia Wei's eyes were fixed and she said respectfully: "No matter what Master asks, Xiao Wei will answer truthfully."

Ye Jie spoke slowly and questioned her soul:

"Kui Niu went to the market to buy shoes. A pair of shoes sold for eight copper coins. How many copper coins did he have to pay?"

"Buy shoes? Kui Niu's feet are so big, can it fit in shoes? No, doesn't it have hooves? Why wear shoes?"

Xia Wei was a little dumbfounded. She didn't expect the master to ask such an outrageous question, but she still answered seriously: "With Kui Niu's strength, it shouldn't even have to pay a single copper coin, so the answer is zero."

"Zero? This is a different answer. Even if you got it right." Ye Jie smiled.

Xia Wei stuck out her tongue and looked unconvinced: "It's obviously zero, where is the other answer?"

After chatting for a while, Ye Jie looked back and sighed:

"After being disturbed by Kui Niu, I don't know where the thunder worms I found earlier have fled to. It will be difficult to find a thunder beast suitable for your cultivation... I would have known if I would have asked Nan Linghe to follow me. Well, with her abilities, it’s easy to find the right Thunder Beast for you.”

Xia Wei smiled softly and did not take Ye Jie's words to heart. Instead, she comforted Ye Jie: "Don't be discouraged, Master, we will always gain something."

Returning to the outermost mountain wall, Xia Wei looked around and suddenly frowned: "Master, have you seen the crayfish meat I brought here? I just put them here clearly."

"Really? Has anyone else been here?"

Ye Jie's expression changed slightly and he became alert. He searched around and soon saw several inconspicuous dark blue blood stains on the ground. The blood stains were intermittent and full of chaotic traces.

"Wait, those rough dragging marks don't seem to be left by humans..." After careful observation, Ye Jie also found clues from the traces, and couldn't help but open his mouth wide, "A monster came here and stole the crayfish meat you brought."

"What?"

Hearing this, Xia Wei was furious. A monster stole the crayfish meat she had hunted so hard while she was away. How could she tolerate this? She rolled up her sleeves and said, "Master, let's go and teach those monsters a lesson now!"

Ye Jie nodded. The powerful monsters didn't bother to steal the meat of the first-level crayfish, so it was just right to try their luck.

Stepping forward quickly, following the blood trail, the two came to a head-sized cave. Judging from the large number of shrimp shells scattered on the side and the dark blue blood stains on the cave entrance, the crayfish meat should have been divided here and finally sent into the cave.

Ye Jie closed his eyes and sensed it, and said: "There are three breaths in the cave, each of which is at the level of the middle stage of the second stage. Can you deal with it?"

Xia Wei nodded decisively. After the injury on her arm recovered, she couldn't wait to fight with the strong enemy.

She followed the method Ye Jie taught her last time, first using spiritual power to make fire, and then using spiritual power to create wind, pouring thick smoke into the cave.

Ye Jie looked around and blocked several smoking holes with stones. After confirming that they were correct, he and Xia Wei waited together. In their perception, the monster under the cave was fleeing in a hurry.

Finally, the monster couldn't stand the smoke and rushed out of the cave. Xia Wei, who was well prepared, saw the opportunity and punched down. Ye Jie didn't even see the appearance of the monster clearly. It turned into a pile of rotten meat under Xia Wei's hands, and died miserably, as if it was hit by a wild bull with all its strength.

The death of the monster aroused the strong anger of his companions. With loud squeaks, two more monsters rushed out. This time, Ye Jie finally saw the full appearance of the monster. It was a big rat with a round belly.

The big rat lost the flexibility of ordinary rats. Its limbs were short and thick. It seemed that it could not bear the weight of the whole body. What was even more unignorable was the electric current running through its fur. Anyone who touched it would be injured by lightning.

Seeing its full appearance, even Ye Jie couldn't help but take a half step back. If he was struck by lightning in his soul body, he would probably lose half his life on the spot.

"Is that a second-level monster, the electric light rat? It's really hard to find it, but it's easy to get it. Xia Wei, the power of an electric light rat is more than enough to help you make further progress in Bailian." Ye Jie reminded.

Xia Wei looked delighted, but saw that one of the lightning rats had a surge of electricity around it, and then it jumped up and turned into a blue light, intending to knock her to the ground with the power of thunder and lightning.

Xia Wei did not avoid it, but raised her palm to meet it. The lightning rat crashed into Xia Wei's palm. The fierce electric current passed through Xia Wei's body, causing her delicate body to tremble uncontrollably. Her skin, bones, and even internal organs seemed to be burned by a hot iron. The pain continued to spread, and her whole body fell into complete paralysis.

Ordinary people would probably fall to the ground without a sound if they were hit by thunder and lightning, but Xia Wei, who had expected this, showed a look that was exactly what she meant.

She tried her best to practice the Hundred Refining Body Cultivation Method, and the spiritual power continued to flow on her slightly charred body. All the injured parts became tougher after being tempered by the Hundred Refining Body, and even her internal organs were refreshed.

Gradually, the paralysis of the electric current could not overwhelm her. In the fierce electric shock, she regained the upper hand and regained control of her body.

The rat found something wrong and wanted to escape, but it was too late. Xia Wei grabbed the rat's body tightly and shot a soul-breaking arrow at a very close distance, completely shattering its soul.

The last remaining rat was frightened by the scene in front of it. Just as it was about to escape, Ye Jie, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, bound it with a soul-binding rope.

"Xia Wei, catch it quickly and keep it for future practice." Ye Jie reminded.

After receiving the master's reminder, Xia Wei raised the concave stone and suppressed the immobile rat in it. No matter how it struggled, it could not escape from it.

"What is that?"

After the battle, Ye Jie seemed to have discovered something, pointed at Xia Wei's face, and said in surprise.

Xia Wei raised her hand and stroked her face, but saw that there was some black substance in her palm, and even her arm was black.

"Wait, is that body impurities? Could it be that your Hundred Refinements Body has already entered the mastery stage?"

Recalling the records of this technique in the classics, Ye Jie was surprised. Expelling impurities from the body is the sign of the second stage of the Hundred Refinements Body.

Ye Jie hurriedly took out the torn page and pasted it in Xia Wei's hand, but saw that the [Hundred Refinements Body (Entry)] in the technique column had turned into [Hundred Refinements Body (Mastery)] at this moment. He couldn't help but sigh: "You have mastered the earth-level middle-grade technique so quickly, Xiaowei, you are really gifted."

Faced with Ye Jie's praise, Xia Wei was delighted and smiled.
