Nine days later.
Wu Tie was in the small courtyard, opening and closing a set of Vajra Demon-Suppressing Fist, the fist shook the air and made a thunderous sound.
The golden light of both fists was faint, and when the fists were swung, it seemed as if there were Sanskrit chants following them, which made people dizzy, and the internal organs seemed to be vibrating with it.
The two lava grasses have all been taken, and the foundation-building posture has reached one thousand and thirty-two. The energy in the body has increased several times. The power contained in the two lava grasses is really extraordinary.
Wu Tie's height has increased to nearly two meters. These are all changes caused by skeletal mutations.
With such a stature, and the extremely powerful fists such as the Vajra Demon-Suppressing Fist, Wu Tie's movements were really like a Vajra coming to earth, and his aura was so powerful and domineering that the air in the entire small courtyard was almost condensed into substance, and there was no room for it at all. Outsiders gain a foothold.
With a loud roar of "Huha", Wu Tie's internal organs tumbled. He suddenly opened his mouth, and a stream of heat surged out.
The heat flow hit the wall on one side of the yard, the fire was dim, and the fishy smell rose into the sky. Wu Tie felt his whole body relax, and his body became extremely light and clear, and his whole body was as clear as crystal.
Look at that wall again. On the wall made of huge rocks, there is a black stain that is two meters in size.
Lava herbal medicine is amazingly powerful, but it also has serious side effects.
Compared with the foundation-building potions produced by the Ancient God Barracks, lava grass is extremely overbearing and puts a huge burden on the physical body. What's more important is that lava grass contains fire-toxic impurities. If taken in large quantities in a short period of time, the fire-toxic impurities will accumulate in the body and cause invisible damage to the body.
Wu Tie also relied on the large opening and closing of the Vajra Demon-Suppressing Fist Drum to stimulate blood energy, and used the golden light between the brows and Haoran's righteous energy to shock the whole body, bit by bit squeezing out the accumulated fire poison impurities.
That is to say, the foundation-building style he practiced was so mysterious and abnormal that the Yuan Gang in his body was able to travel through every tiny corner of his body. All the impurities and fire poisons were transported bit by bit to his stomach for temporary storage. Finally, he could use the 'movement' to remove it. It's pushed out.
If it were someone else... When fire poisonous impurities enter the body, even if the body is washed again and again with the most effective Yuancao, it is extremely difficult to completely eliminate the fire poison impurities, which will inevitably have a negative impact on future cultivation.
After putting down his fist and taking nine long deep breaths, Wu Tie's hot body returned to normal. Only then did he look at Lao Bai, who was standing in the corner of the yard, his face turned pale by the strength and intention of his fist.
"Lao Bai, it just so happened that Mr. Shi Liu had some jars of good wine brought over. Come... let's drink and chat." Wu Tie grabbed a piece of linen cloth, wiped the sweat from his body, and put on a long gown. , sitting at the stone table in the yard.
Lao Bai came over with a smile on his face, subconsciously rubbing his hands together, and asked Wu Tie with a hint of disbelief.
"Little Iron Butler, you really took two lava grasses."
Lao Bai really couldn't believe this... The medicinal properties of the two lava grasses, even the lowest Yuancao, were still too great for low-level practitioners like them.
In nine days, Lao Bai only took half a blade of lava grass, which made him cry and suffer unspeakably.
He is already half-step into the Sensory Realm... As for Wu Tie, if I read correctly, he is only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, only the Foundation Establishment Realm.
"I am born with thick skin and thick flesh." Wu Tie patted his chest hard, making a muffled sound. He looked at Lao Bai and said with a smile: "This lava grass is a little bit burning when swallowed, it's similar to strong liquor."
"My parents gave me strong bones, so I can endure it." Wu Tie smiled brightly, his face slightly red.
This is a lie.
Among the four brothers of the Wu family, he was the weakest, even a little frail. Since childhood, Wu Zhan has determined that he cannot practice.
Wu Tie himself blushed a little when he said, "My parents gave me a strong body."
Lao Bai shook his head in amazement. He quickly picked up two large stone bowls and poured a bowl of wine for himself and Wu Tie.
After taking a sip of strong wine, Lao Bai squinted his eyes, looked at Wu Tie and said, "In the morning, Master Shi Er came back... He found Master Shi Liu, and the two had a big quarrel."
"Well, then what?" Wu Tie picked up the big bowl and drank half of the wine.
This is a dispute between the Shi brothers. Wu Tie has no intention of interfering... Is he guilty? No one is his relative.
"Master Shi Er was kicked by Master Shi Liu... and he rolled a hundred meters away." Lao Bai chuckled: "Master Shi Er's confidants wanted to take action, but several of Master Shi Liu's The personal guard broke his legs and threw them out.”
"It's no wonder that Mr. Shi Er was furious. Before us, he recruited five or six groups of people. After us, there were three groups of people... all of them were sent to Dashi City, and all of them were put under his name by Master Shi Liu. "Lao Bai picked up the big bowl, took a deep sip of the wine, and praised: "What a good wine... Really, a rich family, worthy of the Shi family, one of the three major families."
"What's Mr. Shi's reaction?" Wu Tie picked up the big bowl and drank it all in one gulp, then poured himself another bowl of wine.
"Get up, curse and leave." Lao Bai sighed: "How can I react? I can't beat him if I fight... After complaining, half of the elders of the Shi family protected Mr. Shi Liu... In addition to a few curses, What else can he do?”
Wu Tie took another sip of wine, put down the stone bowl, looked at Lao Bai and said seriously: "Lao Bai, this is a family matter of brothers, we won't get involved... The Shi family pays us, We work for the Shi family... We didn't sell our lives to them."
In the past few days, Lao Bai came to get close to Wu Tie from time to time. Wu Tie had some friendship with him, so he deliberately reminded him.
"I'm alone. If anything happens, I can easily run away."
"You are different. You have a family with thousands of clan members... If something happens, you will be heartbroken to death." Wu Tie pointed at Lao Bai and said with a smile: "You are the stingiest person, and you value your clan members so much." Those dolls.”
Lao Bai laughed a few times, picked up the stone bowl and drank sips of wine: "How could I get involved in the affairs of such a big family? Am I so stupid? I just want to find a stable job for the children... Hey, The kids are eating so much these days... it’s so good!”
Raising his head, Lao Bai said longingly: "Everyone, don't fight and kill me. Just let me and my children eat meat and drink here in peace. It's great. Mr. Shi Liu is so generous. My family Those little cubs all have meat to eat..."
Shaking his head, Lao Bai chuckled softly: "After you have eaten and drank enough, hurry up and pair up the babies, have babies, have babies, one generation after another, one generation after another... endless descendants... what a wonderful life. ah!"
The corners of Wu Tie's mouth twitched and he looked at Lao Bai with a longing look on his face without saying anything for a long time.
Your rat-men's appetite is indeed very small. The food required to feed one rock gnome is enough to feed three rat-men.
But you don’t count the reproduction speed of your rat clan. If you continue to give birth to one generation after another, maybe ten or twenty years later, the entire Shi family will be bankrupted by you...
The Shi family invited them back because they wanted them to serve the Shi family, and they didn't invite a group of uncles to come back to help the Shi family consume their food stocks!
Shaking his head, Wu Tie reached out and patted Lao Bai on the shoulder: "Take it easy, Lao Bai... you can't have too many babies, really..."
Lao Bai laughed "hehe" a few times, happily picked up the big bowl and drank again.
Although the rat people are weak, they have their own way of survival.
Lao Bai has his own ideas, Wu Tie doesn't need to worry about it for him.
Lao Bai was very drunk, and then staggered away with the help of a few mice. Wu Tie packed up the wine jars and stone bowls, thought for a while, and left the small courtyard where he had been hiding for several days.
After asking the guards of the Shi family all the way, Wu Tie came to the core of Big Rock City for the first time after joining the Shi family for so many days.
The residence of Mr. Shi Liu, as well as the residences of some high-level officials of the Shi family are here.
Some of the Shi family's power agencies, such as the Punishment Department, which is responsible for punishment, the Foreign Affairs Department, which is responsible for the family's external affairs, and the Internal Affairs Department, which is responsible for the family's internal management, are also established here.
The Foreign Affairs Department is a large two-story building. The area of a single floor is at least five or six times the size of Wutie's small courtyard.
Outside the door of the Foreign Affairs Department, stood a row of iron dwarf warriors wearing armor.
Compared with the common gray dwarves and rock dwarves, these iron dwarves are half a foot taller than them, reaching a height of 1.56 meters, and their skin is as black as ink, as if they are made of black iron.
Like other close relatives of the dwarves, they have a boxy body, standing like a meaty mound.
They were wearing fine armor, holding shields in their left hands and large axes in their right hands. They all had big beards, and their bodies were filled with the strong smell of alcohol, and their eyes shone with a trace of ferocity.
A group of rock gnomes carrying buckets were busy at the door of the Foreign Affairs Department.
The ground was covered with reddish water, and the air was filled with the smell of blood. The rock gnomes wiped the ground quickly and tidied the small square outside the Foreign Affairs Department bit by bit.
Wu Tie remembered what Lao Bai said when he was drinking just now.
It seems that Mr. Shi Liu not only beat Mr. Shi, but also punished the Foreign Affairs Department that Mr. Shi was usually responsible for.
Judging from the posture of these iron dwarves, they had clearly fought with others just now.
"Aggressive, Master Shi Liu, is he trying to quarrel?"
Wu Tie smiled, took out his identity badge, waved it, and walked slowly into the Foreign Affairs Department building.
There is a long stone table on the first floor of the Foreign Affairs Department. A row of petite rock dwarf girls sit behind the stone table. Thick animal skin booklets are stacked in front of everyone.
Many warriors with powerful auras stood in front of the stone table, talking to these rock dwarf girls with saliva flying around.
Sometimes it was inevitable that some bad-tempered cattle warriors would hit the stone table with their fists, and their loud roars would frighten the girls to turn pale.
The entire lobby on the first floor was in a mess, and it smelled like haggling in an a la carte market.
Wu Tie walked up to an idle girl, put his hands on the stone table, looked down at the petite dwarf girl and asked: "I am Xiao Tie, the first-class deacon of the Department of Foreign Affairs. I would like to ask how I can get more information." Lots of Yuancao”
The girl raised her head, glanced at Wu Tie, and said with great respect and a hint of fear: "The Yuancao family has missions."
With difficulty, she picked up an animal skin booklet that was almost the same height as her body from the table. The girl flipped through a few pages, pointed to the dense writing on it and said, "Look, here is a mission issued by the family... to hunt down a three-year-old girl." Take the poison sac and snake gallbladder from the black anaconda, as well as the snake teeth, tendons, scales, and skin. In short, the materials from the whole body of a three-headed black anaconda can be exchanged for six lava grasses."
Opening another page of animal skins, the girl continued: "It's just that the three black anacondas are mysterious and difficult to find. Therefore, if you can hunt down a mad blood giant, you can exchange for twenty lava grasses." …”
Sighing, the girl looked up at Wu Tie and said: "However, the crazy blood giant at least has the strength of the Chonglou Realm... First-class Deacon Mr. Xiaotie, you are only a first-class deacon. Maybe you are not strong enough to deal with a crazy man." Blood giant."
Wu Tie's face turned red and he was slapped in the face by his strength.
He coughed and said dryly: "Well, I'm just a practitioner of the Foundation Establishment Yuan Gang Body Infusion. Take a look and see if there's anything suitable for me."
Mad blood giant…
The superficial information given by Lao Tie happens to contain records about the mad blood giant.
That was when the giant clan was making a bloodline breakthrough. They accidentally became obsessed and completely lost their intelligence. However, due to the advancement of their bloodline, they gained powerful supernatural powers. They were crazy, cruel, and extremely destructive.
However, according to Lao Tie's information, the mad blood giants are at least terrifying beings in one or even two realms above the Chonglou realm.
This little girl actually said that the crazy blood giants are at least at the 'Chonglou Realm' level.
Such crazy blood giants are much weaker than those in Lao Tie's information... It's just that Wu Tie doesn't have the strength to deal with them.
"Well, a crazy blood giant that was discovered recently has been chased by the family elders and escaped into the endless black abyss... It is too dangerous and the area is too vast, so I don't recommend you to chase him." The girl frowned. , quickly turning through the pages of animal skins.
"It's too dangerous to kill the two-headed poisonous dragon."
"It's too dangerous to kill the mutated centipede."
"It's too dangerous to kill the bloodthirsty ant queen."
"It's too dangerous to kill the Brain-Eating Shadow Lizard."
…
…
…
Wu Tie's face gradually darkened.
This girl kept saying "It's too dangerous", just like a small slap in the face, which made his face turn red and he was almost angry with humiliation.
He finally couldn't help it and coughed softly: "This... girl... can you find some tasks that I can do with my strength and are relatively easy to achieve, such as killing a nest of rock lizards or something?"
Wu Tie finally decided to be shameless and finally put forward his mission requirements.
The hall on the first floor suddenly became quiet, and all the shouting soldiers in the Foreign Affairs Department looked towards Wu Tie.
Then laughter broke out, and all the warriors laughed wildly at the same time.
Especially the few Niu warriors who had just yelled were laughing so hard that some even sat down on the ground, pointing at Wu Tie and laughing loudly.
Wu Tie's face turned blue and red, and he was really going to get angry.
Gritting his teeth, he grabbed the animal skin booklet in the girl's hand and stabbed it hard: "Don't choose, I will choose this mission."
The girl looked at Wu Tie with a stiff face, and the corners of her mouth twitched violently.
However, she didn't dare to speak, she just looked at him pitifully, with moisture in her eyes.
