There was no sun or moon in the mountains, day after day. Qin Xiao was still counting the days at first, but later he simply didn't bother to count them. By the time he wanted to remember the days, at least two months had passed.
For more than two months, he had eaten all the wild game. The old ape was obviously a real hunter in the mountains and forests. As long as he went out, he would never be empty-handed.
It's just that Qin Xiao himself doesn't know when the old monster goes hunting. Anyway, he can see its figure every time he goes out.
During these days, there was no interruption in the game of pricking the copper plate with wooden sticks.
At first, Qin Xiao thought the old ape was just too lonely and took him back to the cave to play games with it. However, as time went by, he discovered that his judgment might be wrong.
Even if the old ape loves this game very much, there is no reason to play it every day for more than two months.
On the contrary, in the past two months, he had no ability to fight back at the beginning, but now he can completely avoid the old ape's attacks. After a stick is thrust out, he can judge the old ape's five or six ways to fight back.
No matter which way the opponent chooses to attack, Qin Xiao can react in an instant.
He himself could clearly feel that over the past few days, not only had his reflexes and physique been enhanced as never before, but because he had to find various ways to attack the copper plate, he had developed a very mysterious routine when using the wooden stick.
Sometimes when I think about it carefully, it seems that these moves were practiced under the compulsion or induction of the old ape.
He is not stupid. As time goes by, he vaguely understands the strangeness.
The game the old ape forced himself to play actually seemed to have profound meaning, as if he was inducing himself to practice a rather clever trick.
Carefully study the moves that I have inexplicably practiced in recent days. They are completely different from the sword skills I practiced in the Duwei Mansion. Among the many moves I practice now, they are not rigid and regular. It is precisely the moves that I have tried every means to stab.
Tongpan, but under the pressure of the old ape, he hastily changed many moves that he had never thought of before.
As the saying goes, heroes are forced to come out, and the moves that I have now practiced are quite pure, but they are also forced out.
Thinking of this, Qin Xiao was shocked.
Could the old ape really be so spiritual that he could induce himself to practice martial arts? This is really unbelievable.
But he also thought that someone had once lived in this cave. Could it be that the old ape had had deep contact with another person before that?
But even so, why did the old ape choose him?
He had a lot of doubts in his mind, but unfortunately the old ape couldn't speak, so he couldn't ask why.
The following days were still the same as before, and Qin Xiao's movements became more and more flexible and his moves became more and more proficient. Sometimes the old ape seemed to be caught off guard when he used his moves, and there were even times when his long stick almost hit the copper
The difference is just a few centimeters.
After more than three months in the mountains, Qin Xiao almost stabbed the copper plate several times that day, but was resolved by the old ape at the last moment. Suddenly, he had a sudden idea and went around behind the old ape.
He suddenly rushed between the old ape's legs, turned over, leaned up, and stabbed upwards with the wooden stick. In the past few months, the old ape had been fighting Qin Xiao in a battle of wits and strength, and had already mastered Qin Xiao's tricks.
He knew it very well, but never expected that he would do this.
"choke!"
There was a crisp sound as the wooden stick hit the copper plate and made a crisp sound.
It took Qin Xiao more than three months to stab the copper plate for the first time. He was so happy that he couldn't help shouting: "I got it, I got it!"
The old ape was stunned for a moment, and then he became excited and beat his chest with both hands, causing the copper plate to make a constant "choking, choking, choking" sound.
Qin Xiao stood up, feeling unprecedentedly happy.
He held a wooden stick and had been aiming to stab the copper plate for more than three months. Now he had achieved his wish, but he didn't know what else to do.
But the old ape had already taken off the copper plate from his neck, walked to the edge of the deep pool, and without hesitation, threw the copper plate into the pool. He looked back at Qin Xiao and let out a roar that shook the whole place.
Suddenly he ran towards the mountains and forests.
Qin Xiao didn't know what the old ape was going to do. He returned to the cave and didn't see the old ape come back until dark. Even the wild animals that kept coming every day didn't come this time.
Qin Xiao waited until midnight, but the old ape never appeared, and fell asleep in a daze. The next morning, as usual, he went to the big stone platform and found that the old ape still had no trace.
He was puzzled. In the past few months, the old ape had never stopped competing with him. A situation like today was unprecedented.
When it was noon, the old ape still didn't appear. Qin Xiao suddenly thought, could it be because he hit the copper plate, the old ape was successful and no longer troubled him?
Immediately I returned to the cave, without delay, I packed up, came out again, ran across the big stone platform, and arrived at the edge of the mountain forest. There was no sign of the old ape. Only then was I sure that the old ape had not set a trap for him. It seemed that the old ape had not set a trap for him.
The ape has really left here.
After being captured by the old ape, he kept thinking about how to escape for the first few days. Later, he got used to fighting with the old ape every day, but he seemed to have forgotten to escape. Today, he finally found the opportunity. Qin Xiao looked at the water pouring down.
The waterfall suddenly gave birth to a trace of reluctance.
It was noon and the sun was shining brightly. Qin Xiao hesitated for a moment, but finally did not stay any longer. He knew that it would be inconvenient to go down the mountain through the forest after dark, so he took advantage of the sunshine to find his way down the mountain.
When he was caught by the old ape that day, he felt like there was wind in his ears. It was also night and he couldn't see the road clearly, let alone where he was in the Changling Mountains.
However, Changling is in the north of Xiling. As long as he keeps walking south, he will eventually be able to get out of the forest.
Looking at the sun to identify the direction was something that Old Man Zhong taught him when he was a child. Naturally, it was a no-brainer. After determining the direction, he headed straight south.
There are many vines in the forest, but Qin Xiao's body skills are now flexible and his bounce is amazing. After three months of training from the old ape, Qin Xiao is now like a monkey, walking through the mountains and forests extremely flexibly. His body skills are so agile,
Even Qin Xiao himself was surprised.
But after all, he was not as good as the old ape who could walk on flat ground in the forest. When it got dark, he could not get out of the forest.
After walking for a while, I suddenly discovered that there was a person hanging on a tree branch not far ahead. I was surprised. When I got closer, I found that the body hanging on the tree branch was already shriveled. Looking at his clothes, he looked like a normal person.
It was Luo Youxia who was hired by those hunters.
Luo Youxia died at the hands of the old ape, and his body hangs here. It seems that the path he took was not wrong.
However, Liuzi's body was also nearby that night, but now there is no trace. It was naturally taken down the mountain. However, Luo Youxia's body has been left here for more than three months and has rotted and dried. It is really miserable.
Qin Xiao thought that those hunters either didn't dare to come here at all, or they had come but ignored Luo Youxia's body.
After all, that group of hunters despised Luo Youxia and were unwilling to collect his corpse.
Luo Youxia's outer clothes were already in tatters due to exposure to wind and rain over time, but strangely, the clothes inside had a dark sheen, which was quite peculiar.
Qin Xiao took the body off the tree branch and placed it on the ground. At this time, he could see more clearly. There was a layer of black soft armor inside Luo Youxia. He didn't know what material it was made of. It was quite soft and smooth, just like
Leather, but clearly not made of leather.
Qin Xiao knew that this soft armor was unusual. When he was chatting with people in the Duwei Mansion, he would inevitably mention armor and weapons. At that time, he heard the yamen of the Duwei Mansion lament that if he could one day wear scale armor, he would be able to wear it for the rest of his life.
Neither life will be in vain.
The scale armor belongs to the Dragon Scale Warrior.
The scaly armor is made of fine iron. It is said to be the best armor in the world today, and even a hard bow cannot penetrate it.
Luo Youxia was wearing such strange clothing, and Qin Xiao immediately guessed that it must be for protection.
He did not hesitate and took the fish intestine thorn in his hand. He thought that if the soft armor could not withstand the fish intestine thorn, it would be of no use, so he unceremoniously slid the fish intestine thorn over the soft armor.
The sharp blade touched, but it was like being pierced in grease, unable to exert any force at all. Qin Xiao was surprised when he sewed and cut open. He swiped it again, and it was still like piercing grease, leaving no trace on the black soft armor.
.
This fish intestine thorn was given by Hongye and was extremely sharp. When Qin Xiao stabbed Lang Shenshui with the fish intestine thorn, the fish intestine thorn sank into Lang Shenshui's throat like it was pierced into tofu. At this moment, it was on this black soft armor.
It didn't leave even a trace, which shows that this soft armor is truly extraordinary.
Qin Xiao was extremely pleasantly surprised, thinking to himself that he was so lucky to encounter such a soft armor.
He was also surprised, secretly thinking that this Luo Youxia was just an unknown person in the world, otherwise he wouldn't have been hired by a few hunters, but he didn't expect that he actually owned such a treasured armor.
The common man is innocent of the crime of having a treasure in his possession. This guy is really lucky to be able to hang around in the world for so long with such a treasure.
He knew that Luo Youxia must have tried his best to hide the fact that he owned the treasure armor. Otherwise, with his skills, he would have been killed by those who coveted the treasure armor.
Immediately, he took off the precious armor from Luo Youxia, clasped his hands and said: "My hero, a gentleman is not a gentleman, but you have passed away, and this precious armor is of no use if it remains on you. I am still here
When you are on the run, you may encounter danger at any time. A piece of precious armor may protect you and save your life in times of crisis. I will borrow it for you to use. Don’t worry, I won’t take your things in vain. I will help you.
You must rest in peace, don't blame me."
Immediately, he dug a hole with fish gut thorns, buried Luo Youxia in it, and then raised his hands, then took off his clothes and put on the black soft armor.
This black soft armor has excellent elasticity and can be loosened or tightened. After putting it on, it sticks to the body and fits perfectly.
When he arrived at a familiar place, he remembered the general direction when he went up the mountain, so the next road would be easier to follow.
I remember that the last time I followed Uncle Kan up the mountain, it took more than two hours. This time, it took less than half an hour to go down the mountain. The speed was so fast that even Qin Xiao was surprised. He knew that his body skills had already matched those of
The same cannot be said for going up the mountain.
