Chapter 17 Windfall
Then now is the time to reap the fruits of victory. Sun Bing took a deep look at Li Li's back, which was gradually going away, with sympathy in his eyes. He turned around and walked in the direction he came from.
Because the distance was not far, it took him a short while to arrive here. After all, the time was short. Even if this place belonged to the periphery of the Hengduan Mountains, it had not been discovered by outsiders. Immediately, Sun Bing began to search carefully.
First, the three fine iron swords on the ground were collected by him, and then slowly disappeared in front of the small sword box in Sun Bing's expectant eyes. Although the small sword box still did not change much, it just continued to darken and increase a little, but Sun Bing's face was full of confidence.
The only pity was that the sword box did not swallow the knife, which made Sun Bing quite regretful, so he had to abandon it.
So far, these little Luo Luos have no value. After all, they are weak. Even if they received the reward of the body-tempering pill, they either took it as quickly as possible or resold it. A weapon is the biggest property, and there is no other treasure at all.
Immediately, Sun Bing walked towards Lu Jian's body. As a leader, his value was far beyond that of ordinary people.
The final result surprised Sun Bing. Although the other party only had a bottle of pills in his arms, it contained twelve body-tempering pills, which meant that it was equivalent to Sun Bing's four-month supply, which was really not a small amount.
After confirming that there was no more extra value, Sun Bing immediately turned around and left. After all, this place was the periphery of the Hengduan Mountains, and people often passed by. Moreover, Sun Bing was already at the end of his strength at the moment. Although he could still walk now, he could not withstand a big battle.
Most of the people who could come here only had interests in their eyes. Even if the disciples of the other two major families came, they did not mind taking his head and increasing their gains, so it was not advisable to stay here for a long time.
It happened that the place was sparsely populated just now, and it could also prevent Li Li from escaping from it. It was a good place. Immediately, Sun Bing dragged his somewhat weak body slowly forward. As for the corpse on the ground, there were many wild beasts and monsters in the Hengduan Mountains, and they would deal with it when the time came.
Soon, Sun Bing arrived at the place. He carefully checked the surroundings and confirmed that there was no danger. Then he sat down slowly. Although he had no strength in his body, this was a good time to practice.
Because he was exhausted, practicing at this time could not only restore himself, but also perfectly integrate the strength gained from practicing. Sun Bing immediately took out a body-tempering pill.
"It is true that a man cannot get rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse cannot get fat without night grass."
Once again, Sun Bing sighed softly and took the pill immediately. With the burst of the drug power, his strength slowly recovered.
About half an hour later, Sun Bing's eyes suddenly opened, flashing a brilliant light. He could be sure that he was much stronger than before. Feeling the vigorous power in his body, Sun Bing's serious face couldn't help but smile.
Although the two fights today were dangerous and he might even die if he was not careful, he got quite a lot. In the first fight with the colorful snake, he got the precious red fruit of heaven and earth. As for the second fight, he got so many body-tempering pills.
Moreover, even if we don't talk about these external objects, the two battles allowed him to fully control the power of his body at this time. Every move contained 100% of the force, without any waste, and the foundation was solid, which also laid the foundation for his next advancement.
He also gained a lot of experience in the battle, including experience against the enemy, control of human nature, and even a deeper understanding of swordsmanship. At the same time, he also felt his own shortcomings. Now the moves in his hands are a little less. The most important thing is that Sun Bing feels that he lacks a footwork secret book.
If he had footwork, he would not be so passive today, and he would not need to spend so much time to catch up, but unfortunately, Sun Bing has no way to obtain footwork at all.
The Sun family's Gongfa Hall may have it, but Sun Bing did not see it on the first floor. Even if there is, he is not qualified to go in and watch it. For those casual cultivators, it is quite good to have a broken secret book. How can they choose it at will?
This made Sun Bing sighed. After all, the road ahead is still very long. Sun Bing firmly believes that he will get all these things.
Feeling that he had completely recovered, Sun Bing looked into the depths of the woods. Although he had already determined that Li Li was absolutely dead, it was better to see it with his own eyes. Sun Bing didn't want to meet him in the future. If he was unlucky, he would die.
Immediately, he waved the wooden sword in his hand, felt his own strength, and walked towards the depths of the woods with one sword. In this environment, even he couldn't help but be cautious.
To be honest, Sun Bing himself wondered how he got in the first time. He didn't encounter any danger along the way, as if he had passed it naturally. Instead, he encountered a colorful snake halfway, and then bumped into a colorful spider when he returned.
Because of the precautions, he could see some differences along the way. For example, some trees already had these poisonous creatures, but the other party had no intention of attacking, as if they wanted to let you in.
This made Sun Bing shudder. Are the poisonous creatures so smart now? This is totally a trap. First, the prey is made to feel safe when entering, and then surrounded. This way, the prey in the center becomes a turtle in a jar and cannot escape. Sun Bing couldn't help but feel a little scalp-tingling.
Immediately, for his own safety, he walked over and cleaned up all the way. Even though those colorful snakes and five-colored spiders were highly toxic, their defense was really low. Basically, they were all killed with one sword sweep.
Unconsciously, Sun Bing had come to the place where he collected the red fruit. He smiled at the moment, because there was a figure lying not far away. Judging from his clothes, it was obviously Li Li who had escaped.
As expected, as Sun Bing guessed, even if the other party was an experienced hunter, he had no ability to fight back under the siege of the colorful snakes. After all, he was good at long-range attacks, not group attacks.
Walking over slowly, I saw that Li Li's eyes were closed at this moment, and his face was black. It was obvious that he had been poisoned. Even if he had the antidote in his hand, he had no chance of survival.
This made Sun Bing sigh: The path of a cultivator really contains countless dangers and hardships. If one of them is not crossed, it means death. This is not a game. Once you die, there will be no chance.
After confirming that the other party was dead, Sun Bing's goal had been achieved. He even wanted to turn around and leave, but suddenly he saw that the other party's arms were bulging slightly, as if there was something.
This made Sun Bing interested, but looking at the other party's black face, he still felt a little scared. Sun Bing was not afraid of monsters like colorful snakes and five-colored spiders, but their toxicity was something that even masters of Qi training could not avoid.
At the moment, he carefully stretched out his wooden sword. It's true that after ten years of polishing, the wooden sword is no worse than the ordinary fine iron sword. The layer of clothes was cut open like tofu, revealing the true appearance inside.
It was not as poisonous as Sun Bing imagined, but was wrapped in a brown animal skin, which seemed to hide something.
This scene made Sun Bing smile. It seems that there is another income today. Although he is a little excited, he is not impulsive. In the woods surrounded by poison, he must remain absolutely calm.
The wooden sword slowly moved, and found that there was no poison. This made Sun Bing feel relieved. He slowly went over to pick up the animal skin, opened it without hesitation, and immediately showed a surprised smile on his face.
He was not so happy even when he broke through the fourth level of body tempering. There was a small bottle wrapped in the animal skin, which contained the body tempering pills, but this bottle was not as many as Lu Jian's bottle, only three, which was better than nothing.
What made Sun Bing ecstatic was another harvest, which was an item in the shape of a book, especially the four big words "Fleeting Lights and Shadows" written on the cover. Obviously, this was the legendary footwork secret book.
