…
quiet!
When the huge and weird monster burned into flames and fell from the sky like the setting sun, the whistling monster wind it created also stopped.
The chickens and dogs in the entire mountain village stopped their voices almost at the same time.
Inside the thatched huts, the nervous and fearful villagers saw this scene through the gaps in the doors and windows, and their hearts were full of confusion, not knowing what was going on.
After all, they didn't see the process, they only witnessed the beginning and the result.
And even Wang Tie and the others, who had clearly seen the whole process, just stood there in a daze, lost in their wits.
It wasn't until the wife and children of the family at the entrance of the village ran over crying, that the eerie tranquility was broken.
"Young master..." The village chief turned to look at Lin Tuo as if he had woken up from a dream, only to see that the mysterious "monster slayer" had withdrawn his hand indifferently, and walked towards the place where the monster fell outside the village. go.
Huaxi's movements were faster, as if he was worried that the other party was not dead, so he ran away. In the blink of an eye, two figures, one big and one small, went to the distance.
…
"Teacher, you're not dead yet." When Lin Tuo came to the small river outside the village, Huaxi, who had arrived earlier, turned his head and said.
Without saying anything, he stepped forward and looked down at the strange white wolf.
The huge body was dripping with blood and burnt.
The needle-like hair was badly damaged, and the two wings were broken off.
Exhaling too much, breathing less, it seemed that he couldn't survive, with half of his body resting on the river bank, his dark green eyes were full of fear.
"Give it a good time." Lin Tuo said.
"Okay." Huaxi said, then stretched out her tender white hand and stroked his throat, the blade made of ether separated the fur and throat, after a few breaths, it twitched for a while, and there was no movement.
Well, frankly speaking, this demon is weaker than expected.
Naturally, it is much stronger than the ordinary beasts in the mountains and forests, especially the "monstrous aura" on its body. I don't know if it is a unique ability or the general talent of monsters.
Once released, the nearby life instincts will tremble, a bit similar to breath suppression.
In this case, only long-range attacks are more effective, but they can also fly... For people of this era, it is indeed almost incomprehensible.
But needless to say Lin Tuo, even Huaxi would not be afraid of this so-called breath suppression.
Well, the overall strength is stronger than the mutant beasts of the wasteland, but it is also limited.
As for the last fire that ignited, it was a fire elemental spell model that Lin Tuo had recently learned from the spell books he had collected.
Original name: Burst Fireball
But he thinks the truth is not very pleasant...
When Huaxi was fighting, he secretly began to sketch, prepared for any danger, but he didn't expect it to be used in the end.
"So weak." Huaxi commented after washing the blood on his hands with the river water next to him.
Lin Tuo smiled, thinking that if it had been a month or two ago, you might not have been able to fight at that time, so you could only use your gun... However, it is not surprising.
After all, the cultivation of these demons relies entirely on instinct, and the ether threads they attract are only slightly stronger than the vines at the beginning of the creation of the world, and much worse than the method of eating qi.
After all, Ye Luzi can't do it.
Shaking his head, Lin Tuo said, "Let's go."
Then he turned around, and saw that almost all the people in the village came out, there was a commotion, and someone lit a torch, which illuminated the surroundings brightly.
At this moment, seeing Lin Tuo returning, they all closed their mouths, gathered together, and looked at the two of them in awe.
The head of the village head had calmed down a little at this time, but his body was still shaking.
Standing in front of the crowd with the support of Wang Tie, seeing Lin Tuo and Huaxi returning, he was silent for a while, and suddenly took the lead and fell to the ground:
"This old man has blind eyes and doesn't know real people. I hope you will forgive me."
At this time, he had come to his senses. Since these two "monster slayers" were so powerful, how could those two thin doors block his discussion just now
Under the leadership of the old man, the rest of the villagers also bowed down to the ground in fear. Only a few village boys were a few steps behind and bowed down under the pull of their parents, but their eyes were full of curiosity.
If it was the first two months, Lin Tuo would still be uncomfortable facing this scene, but after having experienced several times in the sand table, he already knew that it is best to be calm in the face of such situations.
So, he nodded, glanced at Wang Tie, and said, "That monster is dead, you take someone to dispose of the body."
After speaking, he took Huaxi back to the cottage, leaving only a group of villagers at a loss.
After a while, under the leadership of Wang Tie, all the people slowly came to the small river outside the village. When they saw the bloody body, they suffocated for a while, and their hearts became more and more awed by the two demon slayers.
…
In the wing.
Seeing that Lin Tuo didn't have any orders, Huaxi thought for a while, and simply climbed up to the fire resistance cross-legged and operated the breathing method to try to recover the ether.
Lin Tuo, on the other hand, just stood in front of the window, listening to the noise from outside, feeling the warmth in the house, bowing his head, as if he was thinking about something.
Killing a demon satisfied my curiosity and did a good deed. By the way, it also gave Huaxi a chance to actually fight. There is no need to stay here anymore.
Based on what he has learned, he probably has an idea about which method to use to spread the Qi method:
"At first, I wanted to use the previous method again, but looking at it now, it is not very suitable.
The accents of the various kingdoms and regions of human beings are quite different from each other. It is not advisable to directly manifest and inform all human beings from the sky, and the method similar to Chi's preaching is too troublesome and unnecessary...
The regime is scattered, so it is not suitable to point out the face, and the same, in this era, there are not many people who have the conditions and perseverance to persevere in cultivation...
Correspondingly, because of the existence of demons, people's thirst for power is particularly strong. "
"Well, maybe... you can try that method."
Lin Tuo thought about it, and gradually had an idea in his mind.
At this time, he suddenly heard someone coming from the courtyard with scattered footsteps. He immediately opened the door, only to see a dozen or so villagers walking together, the leader of whom was an old man holding a tray.
"This is...?" Lin Tuo raised his eyebrows.
Immediately, the village chief bowed and said: "My lord, I can't repay you for killing the monster. Everyone has collected some money, please accept it."
Seeing that Lin Tuo's expression remained unchanged, Wang Tie at the side hurriedly added: "I know that you must not lack these things, but the village is barren, so there is really nothing to offer."
"No, it's just a matter of convenience." Lin Tuo refused with a smile, and then said along the way, "Since the wolf demon has been killed, we don't want to bother you any more. There are still some things, so let's leave."
Behind him, Huaxi, who deeply felt that the world was too impoverished, also finished his practice and followed.
Several villagers looked at each other in blank dismay, wanting to stay longer, but dared not, so they had to bow to Lin Tuo again with a smile in his eyes, thanked him a few times, and then wanted to see him off.
Only Wang Tie's expression changed, then he gritted his teeth, suddenly bowed down, and said:
"Young master, I... I have a merciless request... I don't know..."
"You want to ask, what is that power?" Lin Tuo saw through his thoughts at a glance, and pointed out.
Wang Tie saw that his thoughts had been revealed, so he no longer tried to hide it. He raised his head, his eyes full of expectations:
"To tell you the truth, my lord, I have also wandered outside, but I have never heard of 'monster slayer', let alone thought that humans can also master the power to fight against demons.
In the past, only some big cities, with officers and soldiers stationed, could fight against one or two, but every time there were heavy casualties...
What happened today... tonight is something I have never seen before in my life. Wang Tie dare not be greedy, but only wants you to give me some pointers... Or, please tell me what that power is? "
These words were somewhat incoherent, showing his inner unrest.
Lin Tuo smiled when he heard the words, and then said according to the draft in his heart, "Vitality."
"vitality?"
"Yes, everything in the world has animism, the place where people gather, has its own vitality of heaven and earth, the treasures of heaven and earth, the breath of vitality is so precious, and the monsters of all races are powerful because of the breath of vitality.
The vitality of heaven and earth is accompanied by human beings, so demons often walk in the world... "
"And since plants, trees and beasts can absorb the vitality of heaven and earth, of course people can too."
"People can also breathe vitality?"
"Of course, what humans lack is only one cultivation method."
After a pause, Lin Tuo looked at Wang Tie, whose eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and said with a smile, "Do you want to learn?"
Wang Tie was short of breath, and his heart was full of disbelief:
"Grand... Young Master, would you like to teach me?"
Lin Tuo smiled lightly and said, "It's not just you, but I will teach anyone who wants to learn. As for whether you can learn well and keep practicing, it depends on you."
"Then... I want to learn too."
"Me too!"
Several villagers nearby also came to their senses, said one after another, and then ran out to spread the news to others.
So, after a while, the whole village came to the small courtyard.
It was so crowded that those who couldn't get in had to stand outside the courtyard and wait, and those parents tried their best to squeeze their children in through the gaps, just to hear more clearly.
After seeing the wolf demon in a miserable state of death, no one doubted Lin Tuo's identity, let alone miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
If you can learn the method of breathing out the vitality of the world, don't you have to worry about the village being violated
Or think a little more, if you can become a "monster slayer", wouldn't you be able to become a guest of dignitaries
No matter what the reasons are, no one wants to pass up this opportunity.
However, soon, people were shocked to find that there was not much difference between being in the front and being in the back, because the mysterious "demon slayer" didn't speak, but just made everyone quiet and close their eyes.
Then, Lin Tuo, who was sitting in the armchair brought by Wang Tie, also closed his eyes.
…
From the mountain, in the study.
Because of the time difference, it was night in the sand table, but it was still morning in Lishan.
Beside the desk, the main body who was also sitting in the wicker chair opened his eyes, raised his hand, took out one of the magic books in front of him, and spread it out.
"Clatter..."
The breeze blows in, the pages of the book turn and soon stop at a certain page in the middle.
This page was folded, and a spell model was depicted on the white paper.
Name: Breathing (assisted practice method)
Cost: 3 mana units
Range: 15 yards
Effect: The higher life spirit in the area covered by the spell will be drawn into a meditative state, subconsciously imitating the breathing method of the caster. (This spell is used for the introduction of auxiliary cultivation methods)
…
In the next second, Lin Tuo took a final look at the relatively simple dao pattern, closed his eyes, and began to outline it in his consciousness.
A moment later, an invisible ripple of ether swayed, covering the entire house, courtyard, and the vast world in the sand table.
