Chapter 193: Don’t be nervous (4200)
Time flies.
Half a month has passed since Ka Xiu came to the retrospective era. With the help of the healing potion, his injuries were mostly healed.
I have to say is.
The healing potions created by Livy were highly effective, and some of the ingredients were not difficult to obtain. Ka Xiu has learned something good again, and he can use it in any future retrospective era. Retrospective powers don’t just have the function of bringing back to reality the strength gained through looking back to the past.
After Ka Xiu experienced several backtrackings.
In fact, I have already realized something.
What a person can acquire is not only strength, but also knowledge and experience, which are as valuable as strength.
Even beyond knowledge and experience, there is ability.
This ability is not that ability, and has nothing to do with extraordinary power. It is just a person's way of dealing with others after training, dealing with a thing or trying to achieve a certain goal.
In addition, experience is equally important to a person.
Firm belief and unyielding will are more meaningful than so-called talent. In the first two backtrackings, Levi was a coward and a waste in the eyes of Cardiff until the third time backtracking.
Although Card Xiu knew that Levi still failed to achieve his goal in the end, he was obviously different from before.
If the battle to exterminate the family was despair, and Levi's meeting the dead blood occupying Teacher Lisha's body ignited his anger, then the journey of wandering and searching for more than ten years was a continuous burning.
He, Levi, is no longer the ordinary stick he was at the beginning, but a blazing flame. Maybe it will turn into ashes after all, but the light and heat it emits during the burning process are far more meaningful than living an ignoble existence. There is no doubt that Levi, who was so weak, had a firm belief and an unyielding will.
It didn't exist before, but it does now.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to survive the horrific side effects.
It was a triple whammy of physical and spiritual potential.
Li Wei endured it for several years, more than a thousand days. Card Xiu already knew the obsession that supported his progress when he first arrived.
In the cabin, sunlight shines in through the windows.
Ka Xiu pulled the bandage back and forth, revealing an extremely ugly scar on his abdomen. It was what was left after the penetrating wound healed, and the surrounding skin twisted and folded like a black centipede.
He took a deep breath and felt the changes in his body.
Most of Levi's body has recovered, and his physique at the level of a boxer has been freed from his weak state. But it was still nothing to look at for Cardiff, because Levi was not only seriously injured by the wizard as a physical hazard.
There are a total of five alien auras flowing in the body.
Two of them have been weakened.
It’s all damage caused by the outside world.
The fiery aura caused by the wizard has been reduced by about one-third due to the improvement of the wound, and the remaining two-thirds probably need to be removed slowly. There is only a little bit of the cold aura caused by the dark creatures, and it is estimated that it will be removed in a few days.
after an hour.
Inside the courtyard surrounded by wooden fence.
As always, the dark yellow barrel sits to one side.
Hot water was poured inside continuously.
Finally, a fist-sized medicine bag was thrown in.
In a short time, the originally clear hot water turned black and sticky like mud. And at the same time, the barrel also exudes an extremely pungent smell of mud.
This isn't a healing potion, it's a workout potion.
It is used to improve the secret technique of elephant soul and strengthen the body.
Two minutes later, Ka Xiu was completely immersed in it.
The same irritation as before came from all directions, as if there were thousands of insect bites on the surface of the skin.
He has long been proficient at this, and his body instantly assumed a special posture of the Elephant Soul Secret Technique. The whole person is in a sitting position, with the right ankle resting on the left knee and the left ankle resting on the right knee. Stretch your hands forward in a hugging position.
The waist did not slump, but stood straight.
Soon, Ka Xiu entered the state.
Pain was felt on the surface of the skin, but at the same time, hot air flowed in and traveled between the muscles. Everything was as usual. But he soon realized something was wrong. The power of the exercise potion was not only absorbed by his body.
There are other things that were partially extracted after the medicinal power was transformed, a total of four. At the position of the heart, the back, the fingers of the left hand, and the arm of the right hand.
Needless to say, the first three are the Devil Bug, the Firebird Totem, and the Battle Ring. And this last thing is...
Ka Xiu raised his right hand and turned his wrist upward.
A black vein came into view.
Originally, the blood vessel started at the wrist and was about half the length of the forearm. But now, it has unconsciously extended to the elbow position, just a little short of it.
Ka Xiu tried to focus on his right hand.
Suddenly a powerful pulse was heard.
He seemed to feel an unknown power contained in his forearm.
Ka Xiu seems to be able to control it, but it's like it's blurry through a layer of glass. So he continued to calm down.
Keep trying to communicate.
Until a certain point.
His right arm suddenly tensed up and his hand clenched into a fist. A black blood vessel like a small snake protrudes upward, which is extremely conspicuous under the skin and is a centimeter or two higher than the surrounding muscles.
In fact, with this blood vessel as the center, black floc like roots spread out and spread to the muscles on both sides.
"This is……"
Ka Xiu's eyes became very solemn.
He could feel that a force vaguely under his control was covering his arm, like a ball of liquid that wanted to wrap around his entire arm. But that's not a good thing.
As that cold force spreads, Ka Xiu's control over it becomes weaker and weaker, and there may be a risk of losing control if it expands again.
He let go of his right hand, and the black color returned.
Become a gently beating blood vessel.
"It's a very weird thing... there is a very dangerous aura hidden deep in the depths." Ka Xiu lowered his head: "But why is the inner vision effect of Miwu's control over the body prompting that it is part of my body, and other parts It makes no difference. This black vein is not harmful to me?"
He thought for a moment and finally shook his head.
Ka Xiu gradually turned his attention to practice.
The effect is bad, not just bad.
The specific reasons are still the same.
All in all, if Ka Xiu uses the exercise potion normally and step by step, he can only ensure that this body does not regress.
Yes, even a little bit of progress is difficult.
He was already in his thirties, with average qualifications, excessive consumption of his life potential, and his body was devastated by hidden injuries, large and small.
Even understanding is weighed down by an unstable mental state.
It can be said to be a miracle that Levi can reach the second blood acceleration state under such circumstances. But this does pose a problem for Ka Xiu. What should I do if exercise doesn’t work?
He couldn't help but cast his gaze on his wrist again.
Can this thing be used as my own strength...
five minutes later.
Ka Xiu was naked from the waist up and practicing the Wind Elephant Fist in the courtyard. He is adapting to this body and adapting to each other.
Coming from the real world to the retrospective era, it is not so easy to be able to exert one's wind Xiangquan realm. As always, Kaxiu started with the wind fighting technique, and slowly adapted to the swinging fist, straight punch, jab, swing and other punches.
There were sounds of fists in the courtyard, and wind and waves kept blowing by.
Later, not only the boxing skills, but also the fighting skills of all parts of the body began to be honed together. In the end, Ka Xiu even used all four ultimate moves of Wind Elephant Fist, and he felt like he was gradually returning.
A few hours later.
He ended with a standard standing stance with his fist closed.
Under the sun, the surface of some emaciated bodies was congested with blood, and sweat shone brightly in the ravines. Card Xiu glanced at the door of the wooden house, and then walked directly towards the river.
He washed his body with cold river water.
Then he started wandering in the forest.
I was lucky today. Not only did I find some delicious non-toxic mushrooms, I also caught a plump pheasant.
Ka Xiu, whose injuries have basically returned to normal, naturally cannot let the two children continue to work. Of course, there is also a part of the reason why Toma's cooking is difficult to eat. Ka Xiu has entered the retrospective era so many times, especially during the last retrospective. As I hunted dark creatures everywhere at dusk, I sometimes had to practice outdoor cooking skills in the wilderness.
Especially the barbecue tastes quite good.
That evening.
The bonfire swayed, and the red flames licked the plump body of the pheasant. The texture of the muscles gradually turned yellow, and a drop of fat gathered together and dripped into the campfire, making a popping sound. As the wooden stick rotates, the alluring aroma of oil gradually spreads around.
Next to it, the iron bucket was bubbling gurglingly.
The mushroom soup is tumbling, with mushrooms that have been cut into pieces on the surface, and scattered wild vegetables as simple decorations.
Kaxiu lifted the wooden stick, stretched out his hand and tore off a piece of meat from it. I took a bite and it tasted pretty good.
Just a little kosher salt and no other seasonings.
He glanced next to him, where Toma and Shala were holding a wooden bowl, waiting eagerly. Ka Xiu turned his head.
"You can start eating. Go and serve the mushroom soup yourself."
five minutes later.
Thomas put down an empty bowl, then gnawed on the chicken leg with his mouth full of fat. He ate and looked up at Ka Xiu.
"Uncle, your barbecue is so delicious?"
"It's normal to wander around and learn some life skills. If you didn't know how to cook, you would have starved to death in the wilderness." Card Xiu took a sip of mushroom soup: "After eating, go to bed early..."
Thomas nodded and continued to deal with the chicken legs.
Another two days passed.
Card Xiu's injury has completely recovered, and he began to study the black blood vessels on his wrist. This thing is relatively mysterious. Ka Xiu initially thought that the black blood vessels needed energy from transformed medicine or something to grow and change.
But since that time, the black blood vessels no longer absorb the medicine. And it can be clearly seen that there are basically no traces of further extension, and it still maintains its original shape.
The blackness didn't spread as fast as it did at the beginning.
Card repair does not yet know the principle of it.
It was just a simple test of the power of the black blood vessels.
In his normal state, his power is probably about one level higher than before. In the explosive state, where the blood vessels are bulging and the black color extends to the surroundings, the power is about half greater.
And the most crucial point is.
The explosion of black blood vessels has no side effects.
At least Ka Xiu has tried to explode dozens of times without any accidents. It's just the fatigue of overly tight muscles.
Compared with the other three forbidden arts, it is completely different.
"call……"
In the afternoon, after practicing boxing in the courtyard, Ka Xiu left the cabin as usual to wash his body and look for prey every day. Today, he discovered a trace of human activity. Just across the river, about a few kilometers away.
The cabin built by Li Wei is in the deep mountains and old forests.
It is the kind of place that ordinary villagers cannot enter, not even hunters. And there are traces of humans here, and there is a high probability that the enemy will come to visit. Levi has too many enemies, and Card Xiu is not sure who they are. The most likely ones are still the two wizards, but of course it could also be others.
On the night when human traces were discovered, Cardiff and his two children had a meal and left overnight.
Walking in the forest at night may be a bit dangerous, but with Ka Xiu leading the way, poisonous snakes and beasts will not be a problem.
the next morning.
The sky was still bright and white mist was floating in the forest.
In front of the cabin.
Two strangely dressed figures slowly approached.
"It's too late, the person has already left..."
"Haha, no matter where he goes, the totem will help us guide him. It's just a matter of time..."
"Maybe we should get some help."
"You mean those stinky rats in the sewers..."
June 5, 110th year of the Red Li Federation.
More than ten days have passed since Ka Xiu left the wooden house. On this day, he took Toma and Xia La to Beiliu City, the capital of Beiliu County. Ka Xiu came here once more than ten years ago, and now Beiliu City is undoubtedly more prosperous.
High-rise buildings rise from the ground, with brown glass reflecting the sun. Some product posters and banners are pasted on the walls, and sometimes popular opera stars pose seductively.
Huge chimneys pierced the sky, almost disappearing into the clouds.
On a street in the city, a social dance of the upper class seemed to be taking place in a mansion not far from here. From time to time, you can see well-dressed people passing by on the avenue.
Some women have fashionable hairstyles and wear evening gowns as red as roses, which outline their tight and graceful figures.
The dance partners next to me hold hands.
He was also a handsome man in a suit, wearing a pair of white gloves and holding a cane in his free hand.
On the sidewalk.
A man wearing a black trench coat held a yellow paper food bag in his hand, his hat was buttoned down, and he moved forward silently.
His temperament is a bit incompatible with his surroundings.
Dozens of meters behind, at the corner of an alleyway.
There is also a man in a suit holding a cane.
He placed the end of his staff on the ground, and from time to time his gaze passed through the crowds and obstacles and glanced at the back of the man in the trench coat who kept walking forward.
Whenever the man in the trench coat is about to go out of sight.
Men in suits will take steps to keep up.
Five minutes later, the two gradually arrived at the residential area.
There are far fewer cars and pedestrians on the road.
The man in the suit looked up at the man in the trench coat who disappeared around the corner, and quickly chased after him. But when I turned the corner, I found that there was no one on the road ahead, it was just empty.
"Damn it, I lost you!"
He was a little depressed, and suddenly saw a fleeting black shadow on the right side of his eye, as if something was approaching rapidly.
The man in the suit widened his eyes and was about to pull out the pistol from his arms.
"You're on your own, don't be nervous."
A calm voice came.
He was stunned for a moment subconsciously, and then his head hurt.
His eyes instantly turned black.
