After Ma Tao came back, Ming Zhiyuan asked him what he had given him.
Ma Tao said that he fainted that day, so he went out to find the giant snake and cut off large pieces of snake meat.
I squeezed out the snake's blood and fed him some, and then kept giving him water for the past few days.
When Ming Zhiyuan heard Ma Tao tell him to feed him snake blood, lightning flashed in his mind and he suddenly remembered.
When he bit the snake, he swallowed something that looked like flesh but was not flesh.
He looked at Ma Tao in shock:
"When you found the snake, did you see its inner elixir? What level of magical beast is that snake?"
Ma Tao said: "When I passed by, the inner elixir of the giant snake had been snatched away by a passing monster.
The snake's abdomen was bitten to a pulp. The wound was blurry, and it was impossible to tell what kind of monster had bitten it.
I have never seen that kind of red-scaled giant snake. I don’t know what grade it is, but you can kill it. At most, it is a sixth grade snake that can just refine the inner elixir."
Ming Zhiyuan thought to himself: That was not bitten by some monster, it was bitten by me. I bit it with my teeth.
He thought again: "Warcraft can directly eat the inner elixir of the same kind. Can humans also eat it directly?"
Ma Tao looked at him strangely: "Shouldn't others ask your alchemy masters about this? Didn't your alchemy masters say that eating the inner elixir of monsters raw will lead to becoming a demon?"
Ming Zhiyuan coughed and felt a dull pain in his ribs.
"Where is the spiritual energy that you warriors cultivate?"
Ma Tao looked at him strangely: "It's on me."
Ming Zhiyuan covered his mouth and coughed. His ribs hurt even more because of Ma Tao's weakness.
"I'm asking, is your spiritual energy all in your Dantian? In your belly? Like a seed that grows into a big tree?"
Ma Tao raised his head and thought for a while: "The process of cultivation is indeed like a seed growing into a big tree, with spiritual energy throughout the body. The bigger the tree grows, the more pure and pure the spiritual energy will be."
Ming Zhiyuan shook his head, wondering where Ma Tao got his wisdom? How did he become a fourth-level warrior? He was obviously a fool.
The two lived in the cave for more than ten days. Fortunately, Ma Tao buried the giant snake's body, otherwise the smell of the snake's body might attract other monsters.
Ming Zhiyuan's rib injury recovered inexplicably. Although he got some Dipsacus herb after waking up and ate it, it felt like it was just for the sake of it.
He could feel the broken area beginning to heal, and it was healing very quickly!
He suspected that he had eaten the inner elixir of the giant snake into his stomach that day.
Over the past few days, the warm breath had settled in his lower abdomen, and it would move from time to time.
But he didn't notice any other changes in himself.
Ma Tao's injuries were almost healed. They decided to start walking out of the forest today.
The two of them are now like beggars, with unkempt hair and dirty clothes.
Ma Tao climbed to the top of a tall tree and finally saw the direction of the Warcraft Mountains. He pointed to the slope and said:
"Go that way, the Warcraft Mountains are behind the slope."
Ming Zhiyuan cut down a hard wooden branch and shaped it into the shape of a spear.
Give the long sword to Ma Tao so that it can play a greater role in his hands.
The beggar duo begins their journey back home.
Ma Tao carefully opened the way ahead with a long knife, and Ming Zhiyuan held a spear in his hand. In half a day, he walked less than thirty miles.
Ma Tao climbed up another tree, adjusted his direction after coming down, and continued moving forward.
At night, they both climbed up to the treetops. Fortunately, they didn't see any flying monsters along the way, most of them were ordinary birds.
They found a thick branch that slanted out, tied themselves to the main trunk, and sat on the branch to rest.
Ming Zhiyuan still wanted to ask Ma Tao whether spiritual energy was a warm thing.
He did not dare to tell Ma Tao that he had eaten a magic beast inner elixir, because Ma Tao might doubt whether he would become a demon.
He worked on the language:
"Senior Brother Ma, will the aura of your warriors become a warm thing moving around in your stomach?"
Ma Tao has recently been confused by Ming Zhiyuan's inexplicable questions about practicing spiritual energy.
Because every answer he gave seemed to fail to satisfy Ming Zhiyuan. Every time Ming Zhiyuan listened to his answer, he would sigh with resentment.
This made him deeply doubt whether he had cultivated a fake fourth grade.
At this time, when Ming Zhiyuan asked again, he couldn't help but shuddered: "Is it because you are running around in your belly that you are pregnant with a baby?"
Ming Zhiyuan sighed again.
Ma Tao was about to explode and hit his head against the tree.
He would rather fight with the monsters than hear Ming Zhiyuan ask him these incomprehensible questions again.
...
When the sky turned white, the two of them got down from the tree and started walking again.
Not long after the two of them left, the sounds of various insects and birds in the forest suddenly became quiet.
Ming Zhiyuan and Ma Tao knew something was wrong, so they quickly found a big tree and climbed up. The two of them could only climb less than five feet high, when a group of magical beasts rushed out from under their feet. There were all kinds of monsters. A few wind wolves were the fastest.
, running in front. Then came a group of violent demon pigs and two golden-spotted blood leopards.
Followed by slightly slower red-eyed devil sheep with sharp horns, a large group of them whirred and ran past under the tree.
They didn't fight each other, they all ran forward as if they were running for their lives.
Ma Tao and Ming Zhiyuan looked at each other, knowing that something powerful might be chasing them.
Looking from a distance, there was a crackling sound of the trees being crushed. The low jungle shook and fell on both sides, and a giant snake with a waist as thick as an elephant appeared.
Ming Zhiyuan's heart beat suddenly, this... this snake...
It really looked like the red snake that day, only it was much bigger than that one, and the two protruding horns on its head had grown out and turned into two bifurcated horns.
It also looks a bit like a dragon, but it doesn't seem to have claws and feet on its belly.
Ma Tao also reacted and looked at each other with Ming Zhiyuan. The two of them did not dare to move again.
The snake was huge, and its head raised high was almost less than two feet below their feet.
The big snake stopped under the tree with its head held high, spitting out snake-sized snakes as thick as a human body and looked around. Then it lowered its head as if it was sniffing something?
Ming Zhiyuan was sweating. Is this a snake or a dog?
Suddenly, the big snake raised its head and looked upward again, and met Ming Zhiyuan's gaze, and Ming Zhiyuan shouted in his heart that it was over.
Ma Tao reacted quickly and immediately shouted:
"Jump down and run"
Before he finished speaking, he jumped down and landed directly on the snake's head.
As soon as he landed on the snake's head, the long knife in his hand went straight into the snake's eyes.
Before he could pull out the knife, he turned over and fell to the ground, looking up and shouting:
"Jump down quickly and I'll catch you."
The big snake suddenly let out a "roar" from its mouth when it was in pain.
Suddenly it rolled over on the ground.
Ming Zhiyuan didn't have time to think about it and jumped hard in the direction where Ma Tao landed.
Ma Tao stretched out his arms and flew forward, catching Ming Zhiyuan.
He spun two more circles in the air to ease the impact of Ming Zhiyuan's landing and both landed on the ground.
He threw Ming Zhiyuan forward and said, "Run quickly, I'm behind you."
Ming Zhiyuan knew that this was not the time to delay, so he ran out in the direction where those monsters had just run without looking back.
He thought those monsters must have gone in a safe direction. At least there wouldn't be such a terrifying high-grade giant snake.
At this time, the big snake had reacted, stood up with another "roar", and bit Ma Tao with one mouthful.
Ma Tao rushed forward, rushed directly under the snake, rolled a few times on the spot, and rolled under a big tree. He rubbed his hands and legs together for a few times before climbing up the tree.
The big snake turned around and turned its head to look at Ma Tao,
In one of its eyes, the long knife was still dangling, and blood mixed with the green-white liquid in the eyeball was slowly flowing out.
The other one eye emits a humanized coldness of vicious hatred.
Ma Tao climbed to the top of the tree without stopping, and stopped when he could go no higher.
At this time, Ming Zhiyuan had already run out more than ten feet. He looked back at the big snake and shouted to Ma Tao: "Come quickly, it will wrap around you even in the tree."
Ma Tao didn't look back: "Run quickly, I will catch up with you."
Ma Tao didn't dare to run for fear of leading the big snake to Mingzhiyuan.
He wanted to grab the snake's hatred and hold it back as long as possible to buy time for Ming Zhiyuan.
The big snake suddenly shrugged and circled upwards around the big tree. Ming Zhiyuan became more and more anxious as he watched:
"Run quickly, I can't run very far alone"
Ma Tao was in a dilemma. Seeing that Ming Zhiyuan stood there and refused to move, the big snake was almost at his feet in the blink of an eye.
As soon as he leaned over, lightning flashed and he pulled out the long knife from the snake's eyes, and then it fell straight to the ground with its head facing downwards.
The big snake's head suddenly stretched out and bit Ma Tao in mid-air. Ma Tao held out the long knife again but was bitten by the big snake.
Ma Tao's body paused in the air for a moment, and then he released his hand and let go of the long knife.
He fell straight to the ground and ran towards Ming Zhiyuan, shouting again: "Run"
Ming Zhiyuan no longer hesitated, turned around and ran away.
Ma Tao rushed behind him, grabbed his arm with one hand and rushed forward.
