Returning to the Mysterious Era

Chapter 191: 191 Promises Between Men (6200) (Thanks to book friend Weiliang Ling for the reward)

Kaxiu seemed somewhat shocked.

In fact, he already understood most of the ability of the retrospective ability. When returning to the real world from the retrospective era, Kaxiu will bring back what he has gained in the retrospective era. When he goes from the real world to the retrospective era, he can bring nothing in except his own experience and boxing realm.

He was still using the body of the antique owner at the obsession node, just a replacement of soul and spirit.

And now, there seems to be an unexpected change.

When Kaxiu returned to the real world for the third time, he had already discovered the mutation of this blood vessel. At that time, he speculated that the meteorite under the Black Rain Villa produced strong radiation energy, which caused Huang Hun's body to mutate. When he returned to the real world, the bad mutations were filtered out, leaving only the good mutations. That is the blood vessel on the right hand.

According to Kaxiu's understanding, this should be a physical mutation, and the specific reaction is that the blood vessel is tougher and more elastic. When he goes all out, more blood can flow through the wrist, making the right hand punch more powerful.

Therefore, it should not be brought into the retrospective era. Unless, this change is in the soul, in the spirit. The physical changes are just the manifestation of something deeper! The meteorite at the core of Black Rain Villa, which is like the foundation, seems to have a more mysterious power...

Kaxiu clenched his fist lightly, and the black blood vessel wriggled like an earthworm, making people feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

Although he was very reluctant, he had no choice for the time being.

Feel your body deeply again.

Kaxiu sensed at least several obscure and complex auras flowing through his body. Some seemed to be the remnants of attacks from powerful external enemies, while others were the side effects of forbidden techniques.

No matter where these auras came from, they were constantly destroying Levi's body, preventing his wounds and vitality from recovering. Kaxiu might have to solve this problem first.

He moved the wooden bed slightly to a more comfortable position.

I glanced at the status bar in the upper right corner again.

"Wind Elephant Fist: Elephant Group 35% (three levels in total)" →

"Wind Elephant Fist: Elephant Group 76.6% (three levels in total)"

"Elephant Soul Secret Technique: Insect Bite 36.5% (three levels in total)"

As expected, the Elephant Soul Secret Technique did not change, and Levi's body barely reached the second level of blood acceleration. The realm of the Wind Elephant Fist was brought by Kaxiu.

This is a secret martial art, and also... a forbidden technique that Levi has mastered.

"Witchcraft Totem: Red Bird's Blood Boiling"

It comes from the Shiwanda Mountain, and is a red bird pattern totem branded on the back. It has the ability to activate the entire back blood and muscle groups in a short period of time, making the fists burst out with more fierce attacks.

"Devil Bug: Soul Night Ash"

It comes from the Devil's Corner area, also known as the Soul Worm and the Night Gray Worm. It parasitizes the Devil Worm in the body and nourishes it with blood and spirit. When used at a critical moment, it can enter an extreme state of indifference, shielding the body's perception and achieving absolute rational fighting.

"Battle Rings: Blood Ripple of Avalon"

It comes from the Island of Eternal Life and is also known as the Ripple Ring. The wearer can use the magic ring to cast a kind of battle ripple, which amplifies its own destructive power and attack distance. The driving factor of the magic ring is the wearer's own life energy, and every time it is used, it must kill people and take the blood of the dead. If it fails to kill the opponent, the magic ring will backfire and devour the wearer's blood.

There are more, but the effects of other forbidden techniques are relatively small. Levi's most commonly used and best used are the above three, among which the witchcraft totem red bird blood boiling is the main combat power.

The witchcraft totem has a significant increase in strength, and its side effects are significantly smaller than the other two. Its side effects are that after each use, the qi and blood will be exhausted, and the blood vessels and muscles will be slightly burned. In the long run, the entire back will become stiff and lose all consciousness.

The demon bugs are the main reason for Levi's extreme mental instability. Every time he uses the extreme indifference state, the demon bugs will enter the host's brain. After the end, he will fall into mental pain, depression, mania, and even a certain degree of split. This effect is quite fast and fierce.

The last one is the Ripple Ring. Every time it is used, it will consume the life energy and even the potential of Levi's body.

If an ordinary person used all three of the above forbidden techniques, he would definitely die on the spot. He might even die before he could even use the second forbidden technique. Levi was able to live to this day thanks to the foundation provided by the Feng Xiang Secret Martial Arts.

Secret martial arts train the human body's potential and break through the human body's limits.

Elevate the essence of life to a more powerful level.

This gave Levi enough money to use these forbidden techniques with terrible side effects, but it was obvious that he could not hold on any longer.

Kaxiu sensed the symbol of the wind ivory pendant again.

Levi's final stage of obsession is about to emerge.

Kill all those who participated in the battle to exterminate the entire family!

In addition, there are two additional small obsessions.

Bring back Lisha-sensei's body.

Bury Shirley's ashes on the final battlefield.

His eyes flickered, and he reached out and touched the pendant hanging around his neck. There was a metal ball at the bottom of the pendant, and there seemed to be something like sand inside that was shaking gently, with the texture of dust.

Kaxiu pressed his forehead and put his dull and messy white hair behind his forehead, as if muttering to himself: "Besides your woman, your other obsessions... I have wanted to do them for a long time."

He took a deep breath.

"Then it's up to me now..."

Time flies and it is the next morning.

Nothing happened overnight.

The sky was as blue as a mirror, with wisps of white clouds surrounding the floating sun, and golden light was cast between the gaps.

Shining on this green mountain range, it looks like a whole green carpet swaying in the wind, exuding a vibrant verdant color.

In the middle of the green carpet, a winding silver ribbon divides it into two parts. It is the river in the mountains.

In a small wooden house, a few hundred meters away from the river.

A little boy with blond hair was struggling to lift a large wooden barrel. The barrel was already covered in dust and was about half the height of an adult. It was also very large and seemed to be used for bathing.

Thomas moved the barrel along the edge little by little, turning it slowly and dragging it out of the house.

By the time the wooden barrel was in place, he was already sweating profusely.

Thomas wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Shala who was boiling water next to him, and then looked at the sky which was getting brighter as time went by. He turned around and went back into the house.

Ten minutes later.

Kaxiu was supported by Thomas and Shara and walked out tremblingly, coughing as he walked, with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. His brows were deeply furrowed due to the injury in his abdomen.

Not far away, the wooden barrel was filled with warm medicine.

This wooden house was once Levi’s stronghold, and some medicinal herbs used for healing and cultivation were placed here in advance.

If the amount is excessive, it will be replenished after a period of time.

With the help of the two children, Kaxiu managed to get into the barrel. It was obvious how badly Levi's body was injured. He had been to the gate of hell. But this was not a bad time. Levi had been in a near-death situation many times.

It was these life and death experiences that changed him.

The healing medicine has a strong taste, but it is very effective.

Although Levi's injuries looked horrible, they had all healed, with the healing medicine accounting for half of the credit.

This is the potion he finally researched and created by combining the healing potion of the Wind Sect and his own improvements made during his wandering for more than ten years.

It can be said that it is effective for various injuries.

Whether it is internal or external injury.

Of course, it has a little side effect.

pain.

"Hehe..."

In the wooden barrel, Kaxiu, whose whole body was immersed in the black potion, clenched his teeth tightly, and his forehead was covered with sweat. His whole face was pale, like a wounded person who had lost a lot of blood.

To be honest, from the experience, the stimulation of this black potion is stronger than the training potion of the Elephant Soul Secret Art. Kaxiu felt that the degree of pain exceeded the second stage of the Elephant Soul Secret Art, the insect bite realm, and reached the third stage of the burning wind realm.

However, it was still much less painful than the momentary pain caused by soaking in the potion and performing the Mind Eye Secret Technique. Of course, the healing potion was continuous and required at least half an hour of soaking.

While healing in the barrel, Kaxiu began to sense the alien aura in his body. As long as the secret martial arts practitioner reaches the level of a boxer who exceeds the limits of the human body, the secret martial arts practitioner can feel the changes in his body and control his blood, qi and muscles.

There were five invading auras in total, complex and chaotic.

Three of them are naturally the three dangerous forbidden techniques.

And the other two.

One is a cold breath, surging like a stream of water.

It should be left by dark creatures like dead blood.

One is a stream of hot air, which comes from a penetrating wound in the abdomen. Its nature is similar to the red bird's boiling blood totem.

Needless to say, it was left behind by a wizard.

The two men came from the Ten Thousand Mountains. One used a spear inlaid with strange metal, and the other used a giant shield like a tortoise shell.

Possessing the same mysterious totemic power.

Levi, who was not in good condition to begin with, was naturally no match for the two men and was seriously injured by a spear. Of course, the two opponents were not lucky either, as they were injured by Levi, who was in an extremely calm state.

So, he actually has a little time now.

Sensing the weak body, Kaxiu couldn't think of any way to force out these auras. There are some ways to deal with the two auras caused by external injuries, just use the human body's qi and blood to continuously consume them, the premise is a healthy body of a secret warrior. As for the three internal auras, the witchcraft totem has been embedded with the back, and each burning is a fusion.

The demon worms live in the body and cannot be forced out.

The battle ring was embedded in the finger, and on the inner ring there was something like a bone spur that pierced into the flesh and connected the bones.

Rings are the easiest to get rid of.

Just cut that finger off.

All in all, it's quite troublesome.

Kaxiu's face became a little gloomy, and he glanced at the side. In the courtyard surrounded by wooden fences, two children of about twelve or thirteen were cooking, their movements were quite skillful.

Speaking of which, when I first looked back.

Levi seems to be thirteen years old...

The day passed quickly, and Kaxiu spent most of the time lying on the wooden bed. Although the potion was very effective, his injuries were very serious. He would definitely not be able to get out of bed without a few days of rest.

Kaxiu also spent the next three days in bed.

Sometimes at night, when I am sleeping, my body will start to twitch for no reason, and I will feel severe pain in my muscles, bones and tendons.

Sometimes I was fine during the day, but suddenly I had strange hallucinations, and sometimes I could even hear someone whispering in my ear. This was accompanied by a sharp headache.

Kaxiu truly felt the hardships Levi was going through at the moment.

He has a strong willpower to have been able to hold on until now.

It’s the fourth day of the retrospective era.

Kaxiu used the black medicine to treat his wounds as usual.

This time he didn't need the two children to support him. He could get out of bed and walk by himself, and do some simple movements. His strength was gradually returning, and the weakness from all over his body was offset a little. Kaxiu was immersed in the smelly wooden barrel again.

While feeling the pain, the nostrils began to breathe regularly, and the chest slowly rose and fell in response. This was another effect of the Lion's Roar Breathing Method, a normal blood and qi harmonization and healing effect. It didn't have a big effect, but it was always good to speed it up.

Now Kaxiu can already use some simple secret techniques.

Next to the wooden house, the girl Shara and the boy Thomas were sitting side by side on a stone, with their chins in their hands, looking towards Kashu.

His face is dirty and he looks a little silly for some reason.

Kaxiu sensed something and turned to look over.

The six eyes looked at each other, and the surroundings returned to calm.

For some reason, Kaxiu always felt that Shara and Thomas were like two puppies. The kind of stray dogs that were homeless and later adopted by their owners. It was not meant in a derogatory way, but he had an inexplicable reverie when he looked at the innocent and sincere eyes of the two children.

There was no complicated emotion in Tomashala's eyes.

It's just pure worry about Kaxiu.

I want my uncle to get better.

Another day passed, and Kaxiu's condition improved a bit.

He was already able to do some work, although he could not do heavy physical work. At noon, Kaxiu came out of the wooden house for the first time in a long time to bask in the sun and sat on the stone next to the fire.

The weather is very good today. The soft white clouds piled together match perfectly with the blue sky as the background.

The clouds blocked the sunlight, so it was strong but not too harsh. Plus there was a slight breeze, so the temperature was just right.

As far as the eye could see, bright sunlight fell through the gaps between the trees in the forest, forming a series of golden light beams that illuminated the uneven surface. The light shone on his body, reflecting a white halo that was somewhat dazzling. Kaxiu took a breath of fresh air.

The pain and depression of the past five days were slowly expelled.

It's getting better slowly.

The leaves rustled in his ears, the breeze blew on his face, and white dandelion seeds slowly floated in the air and landed in Kashu's nose.

He reached out and wiped it away slightly.

I also took a look at the black blood vessels on my wrist.

"Um?"

I don’t know if it was Kaxiu’s illusion, but he always felt that this blood vessel seemed to have become longer and a little thicker.

After studying for a while, I didn't find anything.

Kaxiu calmed down again and felt the changes in his body.

In addition to the aura of the three forbidden techniques, there was a cold current flowing through the body, and a hot aura in the abdomen.

He felt it a little.

The cold air seemed to have weakened a lot, from the thickness of a thumb to the thickness of an index finger, and its length also shrunk.

There was no noticeable change in the thermals.

"Maybe the life energy and blood restored in my body offset the breath of the dark creatures..." Kaxiu guessed with his head down.

Suddenly, he felt a pain in his head, like being pricked by needles.

This was followed by a constant tingling sensation.

"Hiss, here it comes again..."

Kaxiu held his head with both hands and groaned, his back gradually covered with sweat. It seemed that there were several voices whispering in his ears.

The pain intensified, lasting far longer than the usual few minutes, reaching ten minutes. In the last minute, Kaxiu even felt like someone was sawing wood in his brain, again and again, sawing his entire brain into mud.

Finally, the pain gradually dissipated.

He looked up with a pale face, his forehead and eyelids were covered with beads of sweat, as if he had just washed his face. At this moment, Kaxiu's five senses were a little blurry, and his eyes were wet with sweat. He vaguely saw two children standing at the door of the wooden house.

One on the left and one on the right, with both hands on the door frame.

Looking over here eagerly.

"Huh..."

Kaxiu took a deep breath and forced himself to stand up.

He took a few steps forward with great difficulty, as if the pain in his brain just now caused him to lose some sense of position.

As I walked, my pace went astray.

After much difficulty, he corrected himself and walked towards the wooden door.

The two children were orphans rescued by Levi, and were later raised by Levi temporarily. Due to some reasons, Thomasiara could not live alone for the time being and had to stay with Levi. However, Levi did not let them fall behind in their studies.

Self-study and teaching are carried out at the same time.

Generally speaking, the girl Xiala is more obedient, while Thomas, as a boy, is usually more naughty. Sometimes he can't stand the boredom of studying and always likes to be lazy.

"Xiala, Thomas, don't be lazy. Now is the time to study your textbooks." Kashu put on a serious expression.

But his pale face covered in sweat was not very convincing, and his low voice could not hide his sense of weakness.

"Uh-huh."

The two children pursed their lips in agreement and slowly turned their heads away.

At night, it was dark.

In front of the wooden house, a bonfire was burning.

The pot is filled with mushroom soup sprinkled with vegetable leaves.

There was also a faint smell of meat in the air.

That was the bacon that Levi had stored here before.

The pot was bubbling and the aroma was everywhere.

Xia La Toma, who was sitting on the stone nearby, swallowed his saliva involuntarily, especially Toma, whose eyes were wide open.

His favorite dish is mushroom soup.

Moreover, it must be the mushroom soup made by the uncle.

That is the most authentic.

Thomas still remembers the day half a year ago when the uncle carried him on his shoulders and rescued him from the burning house. He then made a bucket of mushroom soup on the ruins that were emitting black smoke.

I swallowed the tears one by one while crying.

He drank most of the iron bucket.

It was the best soup he had ever tasted in his life.

"Come on, one bowl each."

Kaxiu, who had regained some mobility, handed over the wooden bowl filled with mushroom soup, and the two children took it carefully. Thomas, in particular, looked extremely cautious, as if he was afraid that any disturbance around him would cause the soup to spill.

Kaxiu smiled at his cautious look.

"Drink slowly, especially you Thomas, don't burn yourself."

"Okay, uncle."

Thomas responded, holding the bowl with both hands and started drinking.

Kaxiu's mouth twitched, and he touched his chin as if he suddenly realized something. It was strange, when did he start to say caring words? It was probably the original memory of Levi's body that was affecting him, and it was definitely not himself.

He lowered his head and took a sip of the mushroom soup.

Nodded silently.

The only thing Levi knows how to do is cook soup, and it's really good.

He took two more sips.

Kaxiu frowned, and his slightly heavy breathing blew the soup surface downward. Here it comes again, the pain piercing through all directions, Levi's mental damage is not ordinary serious. The name of the demon worm is quite appropriate.

He endured the pain silently, his whole body frozen in place.

Thomas, who had finished a bowl of mushroom soup next to him, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and was happily about to hand over the bowl for another one.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Kaxiu frozen in place, and he opened his mouth but swallowed his words back. He rubbed his cheeks with his hands with an uncomfortable expression, feeling very depressed. Because Thomas knew that he couldn't help the uncle, and the uncle could only overcome it himself.

Endure constant suffering.

At night, it's time to go to bed.

In the wooden house, Kashu was sleeping alone on the small bed, while the two children, Thomas and Shara, were sleeping on the big bed, with textbooks between them.

Kaxiu could still feel some pain in his body, and a sense of emptiness filled his heart. He couldn't fall asleep for half an hour, but later he felt better and gradually fell into a daze.

Just when I was about to fall asleep.

Suddenly he heard a cry.

It's a bit like a child's voice.

Kaxiu woke up with a start. He listened carefully and it seemed to be Thomas on the other side of the bed.

It was a series of sobs, and it sounded very sad.

Kashu shook his head.

After all, Xin is still a child.

Missing your deceased parents late at night...

He calmly got up and slowly walked to the bed.

Both children slept by the window, with Thomas sleeping on the outside. At this moment, his shoulders were shaking and he was crying loudly.

Kaxiu reached out his hand and patted it gently: "What's wrong?"

Thomas turned around, revealing an ugly face with snot and tears all over it: "Uncle? Why are you up..."

"Are you missing home? Are you missing your parents?"

Kaxiu spoke softly, not wanting to wake up Xia La who was beside him.

Thomas shook his head: "I thought about it a few days ago, and I dreamt last night that my house was on fire, and there was fire everywhere..."

He paused and looked straight at Kasu.

"I'm worried about you, uncle..."

"Why are you worried about me?" Kaxiu smiled faintly.

"Can you promise me one thing? Just one thing." Thomas looked into Kasu's eyes, and there was an inexplicable pure and passionate emotion.

"You say." Kaxiu replied.

"Please don't die, uncle... I'm so scared when I see you in so much pain. I'm afraid that you will leave me like my family, that you will be buried in the ground like them, unable to breathe, unable to speak, and unable to feel everything around you."

Thomas' tone was mixed with sobs.

Kaxiu looked into Thomas' eyes and saw the undisguised, fervent and pure hope of the little boy. He wanted to say, "I am not the Levi who saved you from the sea of fire, but..."

"I promise."

Kaxiu stretched out his skinny and wrinkled hand.

He gently ruffled Thomas's fluffy golden hair.

"This is a promise between men."

He slowly stood up, and the moment he turned his head, he seemed to see Xia La's shoulders tremble as she stood in the corner with her back to the two of them.
