The old man is Wang Ying. He is holding a palm-sized spiritual stone in his right hand. Sometimes he is practicing and sometimes he is listening with his ears raised, lest outsiders disturb Long Ao who is practicing inside.
The spirit stones in Long Ao's hands were consumed piece by piece. Except for eating one meal every ten days, Long Ao spent all his time on cultivation. A large number of spirit stones and abundant energy were the basis for Long Ao to practice rapidly. condition.
Without these spirit stones, I'm afraid Long Ao would have to fight and fight to quickly improve his strength.
Long Ao's face always had a stoic expression. In this dark cave, the blurry figure was as motionless as a big clock. The sun rises and sets, spring passes and autumn comes, and winter solstice and spring return.
Three months later, Long Ao has entered the inediate state and does not need food to maintain his life. The energy of the spirit stone is enough to keep him energetic. What's more, he has been meditating, consuming very little energy and practicing as fast as before. Very quickly, the strength is increasing rapidly with the passage of time.
People say that there is no time in the mountains, but on the long journey of martial arts, it is even more difficult to notice the rapid passage of time when you practice. Time has passed for a long time, but it seems like yesterday.
Two years, almost two years later, Wang Ying was overjoyed. After spending five spiritual stones, he finally reached the strength of a ninth-level first-level warrior, which also meant that his life span would be extended by decades.
Long Ao was still cultivating in the deep cave. Wang Ying looked at the end of the deep cave that was glowing with green light and sighed, "This child has excellent talent and works so hard. I don't know what he will achieve after the retreat." What kind of strength. It has been two years, I believe he will reach the level of a ninth-level intermediate warrior!"
Two years passed quietly, and Wang Ying was already a little impatient at this time. Warriors, even if they are in seclusion, rarely stay in seclusion for more than a year. During these two years, even with Wang Ying's mature and stable character, as time went by, he finally couldn't control the tension in his heart.
Since Long Ao only occasionally ate a year ago, during this period, he has basically completely entered the realm of fasting. Even for more than a year, he has always meditated steadily and motionless. If it weren't for the green energy emanating from his body, If Mang proves that he is still alive, I am afraid Wang Ying will disturb his practice regardless of the consequences.
"It's been two years. How can ordinary people have such perseverance and resilience? How much willpower is needed to maintain a state of cultivation within two years!" Wang Ying shook his head and smiled bitterly, but he was never close to Long Ao Shizhang. within, lest it disturb his practice.
Two and a half years later, on a normal day, Wang Ying was bored and teasing a group of ants on the ground.
Suddenly, boom, boom, a loud explosion came, the ground began to shake slightly, and large pieces of mud and stone fell from the cave wall.
"No, there's an earthquake." Wang Ying said anxiously, leaping in the direction of Long Ao. In this case, if he didn't wake up Long Ao who was practicing, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Boom!" The entire cave shook even more violently. Hundreds of kilograms of boulders fell to the ground in an instant. Smoke and dust gradually filled the entire cave. Wang Ying was extremely anxious as he vaguely saw the cyan figure in the cave.
"Master Long, come out quickly, there's an earthquake." Wang Ying shouted urgently, still running desperately inside.
"Boom!"
There was a sound of landslides and ground cracks, and the entire cave was crumbling. Suddenly, the top of the cave in front of Wang Ying suddenly collapsed, and a large amount of mud and stone sealed the entire cave entrance.
"No!" Wang Ying was anxious. The cave continued to tremble. If this was the case, it would be possible for the entire cave to collapse.
"Boom!" In addition to the collapse of the roof of the cave, the ground also cracked, and bottomless cracks appeared.
"Whoosh!"
Wang Ying ran helplessly towards the cave exit, with a large amount of mud and rocks above her head directly covering the cave entrance.
"I can't die. If I die, I won't be able to save Young Master Long." Wang Ying has already entered the ninth level warrior realm in the past two years, and his strength has greatly increased. Although the cave gradually collapsed, in the process of running, his body But he was only slightly injured.
Almost in an instant, Wang Ying had already rushed out of the cave entrance, covered in stone powder, and looking extremely embarrassed.
"How is it possible? Why is there no earthquake outside, just a collapse of the cave?" Wang Ying was shocked. Nothing changed outside the cave. Except for the sound of collapse inside the cave, there was only one possibility, and that was Only the earthquake occurred inside the cave.
This mountain is called Yufeng Mountain. The mountain is not tall and relatively remote. There are very few wild animals, birds and insects. Even hunters are rare in the mountain.
"Young Master Long!" Wang Ying looked at the blocked entrance of the cave and cried heartbrokenly. The wrinkles on his face became deeper. At this moment, he looked like an ordinary and desperate old man, without the masterful demeanor of a ninth-level warrior.
"If I want to save Mr. Long, it's worth risking my life." Wang Ying clenched his fists and roared.
