Sunlight penetrated into the tent and shone on Shi Lei's face. Shi Lei slowly opened his eyes.
"You're awake, Xiao Leizi." Qing'er said in surprise.
"Ah, how long have I been sleeping?" Shi Lei moved his body under Qing'er's surprised gaze, "What's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like this?" Shi Lei found Qing'er looking at him blankly.
"You, your injuries are all healed?" Qing'er opened her eyes in disbelief.
"Uh, okay, do you think I'm not energetic right now?" Shi Lei got up and stretched, feeling that the energy was filling his muscles and veins, and he felt powerful and full of energy.
"What a freak! The recovery speed is simply incredible." Qing'er couldn't help but be speechless. If it had been anyone else, it would have been impossible to recover in less than ten days and a half.
"Haha, where did Sister Yan'er and Xiao Meng go?" Xiao Meng shouted.
"I'm going to make lunch. By the way, I found eight seventh-level elixirs near the wolf's den. Your two are in your package."
"Making lunch? It's already noon now? You slept for a really long time." Shi Lei scratched his head.
We discussed some things during the meal. We originally wanted to help Shi Lei complete the mission together, but now it seems that we are completely overthinking it. Although he is only in the late warrior stage, his full combat power is close to that of the late warrior stage, jumping three levels! Everyone can't help but
After sighing for a while at the tyranny of Shiren's boxing, he decided to act separately in the future so that he could better exercise his own strength.
After the meal, everyone packed up their things and dispersed after choosing their own direction. Shi Lei randomly chose a direction and embarked on the real journey!
The misty forest at night seemed particularly peaceful, with patches of forest standing there, gazing speechlessly. A few birds chirping occasionally came from the distance, making it even more tranquil.
Shi Lei was lying flat on a hillside in the inner circle, looking at the stars in the sky, and couldn't help but be filled with yearning. He was born in a family of martial arts practitioners. Apart from martial arts classes every day, he had no other fun at all. He couldn't be like ordinary children from ordinary families.
Such arbitrary play is the tragedy of children from big families. It deprives the children of the fun of innocent childhood. Every day emphasizes cultivation and the improvement of strength. Only high strength will lead to high status!
After all, Shi Lei is only a twelve-year-old child, and he still has a long way to grow.
"What's the starry sky? Is there anything up there? Are there people there? I really want to go up there and have a look." Shi Lei looked at the starry sky infatuatedly, his thoughts flying far and far away, accompanied by all kinds of reveries.
, and slowly fell into sleep.
Shi Lei, who was sleeping soundly, did not know that a piece of light fell from the star field on the deer spot on his left wrist. The shiny deer spot slowly fell from the wrist to the ground, and gradually expanded, starting from a palm-sized spot, and finally expanded.
When it reaches the size of a puppy, the light on the body slowly dissipates, and the image of the deer slowly becomes clear: it is shaped like a deer, completely black, with two horns on its head, a fluttering mane on its neck, and a trailing
It has a long tail and its body is covered with black scales.
The little thing looked up at the stars in the sky, then looked down at Shi Lei who was sleeping soundly, with a puzzled look in his eyes.
The moment the little thing's light dissipated, the entire foggy forest instantly fell silent. All the monsters woke up from their dreams and lay trembling on the ground, not even daring to let out air. A huge pressure came from the little black thing.
, but the pressure only lasted for a few breaths and then disappeared without a trace.
In the abyss area, more than 20,000 meters deep underground, two golden dragons about two hundred feet long woke up from their slumber, "This is the breath of Mo Qilin!" The two looked at each other with surprise on their faces!
"It shouldn't be Qilin's true body, otherwise the aura wouldn't be so weak and unstable. I just don't know why. Could it be that the situation has changed?" After pondering for a while, the golden dragon with nine ancient bronze axes engraved on its forehead said.
.
"Well, it's just brother. There has been no news from Ao Xu and Fengling for three thousand years. Don't we..." said the giant dragon with only eight and a half copper axes on its forehead.
"Needless to say, second brother, Ao Xu is my son. I am more worried than anyone else, but according to the agreement, we should not go out now and wait for the person predicted by the domain envoy to appear." The man called the eldest brother interrupted him.
.
"Then this time the Qilin reappears in the Star-Moon Continent after five thousand years. What should we do? Will it continue to lie dormant?"
"wait."
"Hey." Seeing that there was no hope of persuasion, the second brother sighed, and after a while, the ground became calm again.
Mo Qilin looked at Shi Lei silently, the doubt in his eyes became heavier. After a long time, he seemed to have made some decision, and then he transformed into a light spot and fell on Shi Lei's left wrist.
At midnight, Shi Lei woke up on time as a habit, but this time there was no light falling.
"you're awake."
"Ah, who is it? Who is talking?" Shi Lei, who was wondering, suddenly heard a person's voice and couldn't help but ask.
"It's me, on your left wrist." The voice came from Fawn Spot.
"Are you Xiaolu? Can you speak?" Shi Lei opened his mouth in surprise.
"I'm not a deer, I'm Mo Qilin!" As he said that, it floated out from his wrist in Shi Lei's surprised eyes, and slowly expanded to the size of a puppy. The light disappeared, revealing the true nature of the Qilin, suspended in the air.
"Mo Qilin? Who are you?" No matter how strong his determination was, he was frightened by the situation in front of him. Unknown things are often more dangerous.
"Don't worry, I won't harm you. This uncle Qilin doesn't even bother to do something to a child. If he did, you wouldn't be alive until now."
"What you said makes sense, but you have to explain to me clearly what you are and what purpose you have in coming to me." Shi Lei thought for a while and said, this black thing does not have any malicious intentions, otherwise a hundred of him would
died.
"Okay, actually my mind is still very confused right now. I will tell you after I remember a lot of things. Listen carefully. My name is Mo Qilin, and I am your legendary ancient beast. I can't remember exactly how I got into your body, but
One thing is for sure, I have no ill intentions towards you, and it will bring you unexpected benefits. Besides, it is true that the Emperor's Secret also saved your life."
"Are you a divine beast? A divine beast is as big as you? That's a lie, but how do you know the Emperor's Secret?" Shi Lei obviously didn't believe what he said.
"Ahem, it's okay to tell you. Anyway, we will be together for a long time in the future. To be more specific, I am just a split soul of the ancient Qilin, one of the ninety-nine split souls. Normally, I am about three hundred feet tall! You guys
Nowadays, cultivators are really getting worse and worse. Even military commanders have become masters. Hey!" Qilin shook his big head with a look of disdain on his face, "As for the Emperor's Secret, of course I told you. Do you think it is?
Falling from the sky?”
"Why do you want to tell me the Emperor's Secret to improve your strength? And what does splitting the soul mean? Can the soul leave the body?" A series of questions troubled Shi Lei.
"I'll only answer the first question because I'm still confused about many things, especially the memories about Star-Moon Continent that have been too long and are a bit blurry. So I thought of the following questions to tell you. How can I help you improve your strength?
Because only when your strength improves will I be able to better restore your soul power. I know you are going to ask what soul power is, and I will tell you this together later."
Seeing that Mo Qilin was verbose and still didn't seem to answer the question, "Then tell me the reason why my promotion was very slow two years ago and now it is very fast. This should be closely related to you." Shi Lei asked tightly.
Reluctant to give up.
"Okay, it's too wasteful for me to show up like this. Let me return to your wrist first."
"It depends on how you go back, Carbon Block." Shi Lei thought in his mind and nodded.
Mo Qilin shrunk to the size of a palm at a visible speed and integrated into his left wrist.
"What did you call me?" Mo Qilin's voice appeared in Shi Lei's mind.
"Ah! It's nothing. Do you know what I'm thinking?" Shi Lei said in surprise.
"I'm a divine beast. There's nothing I can't do. In this state, I know what you think. We'll communicate like this from now on, because I generally won't show up again in the future and I want to maintain my soul power. Of course not
I'm so bored that I peek into your thoughts every day. Except when you are in extremely dangerous situations and at midnight every night, I spend most of my time practicing to increase my soul power. I will remind you in time when encountering special situations."
"Oh, you can say it then." Shi Lei said in his mind.
"I came to you one night two years ago. You are still a good young man who practices martial arts. It's just that the way most people practice is somewhat lacking. I helped you correct it. Now you are practicing martial arts.
People blindly pursue the amount of Qi and the level of improvement, but they don’t know that if they want to achieve impressive results, silly hard training is not enough. In the past two years, your improvement has been very slow, because most of the Qi has not
It is accumulated in your muscles and veins. I use it to nourish your bone strength and the toughness of your muscles and veins. Of course, your small amount of zhen qi alone is not enough. I also need to provide you with a large amount of zhen qi every night to transform you.
In the past two years, your body has been well nourished by zhenqi. Now the strength of your muscles is comparable to that of a military commander in the early stage. Of course, practicing kung fu will get twice the result with half the effort. It is precisely because of this that your fifth level of boxing can break through the line of life and death.
By chance!" Mo Qilin said slowly.
"So that's it. By the way, do you think the thing that falls on my body every night is true energy?!" Shi Lei asked. "You can say it is, you can say it's not. You can call it soul power for the time being. Now for
You don’t understand, you just know that it is somewhat similar to soul awakening. Before your soul awakens, I will tell you what soul awakening is and what is the reason for it.”
"Since you are very weak now, why do you still provide me with Qi?"
"It was an unconscious behavior at the time. It was only today that I regained some consciousness and understood what happened in the past two years. I am now 10,000 times weaker than at my peak. The energy I absorb is also limited. I have a choice every day.
Absorb some, and I will provide you with some Qi every day to nourish your body. We need to become stronger together, because there are still many things waiting to be done!"
"Something needs us to do? What is it?" Shi Lei wondered.
"A lot of things! As for the specifics, you don't need to know, but you have to become stronger. Even if it's not for yourself, can you bear to watch your loved ones get hurt one day and be helpless? You know, your Shi family is just a family now.
A small family may be stepped on by opponents at any time! That’s the end of the problem tonight. It takes too much soul power to show up. If there is any problem, we will talk about it tomorrow. You should be thinking about how to find the ice marrow!" Mo Qilin
He said coldly, but he was shouting in his heart, "Ah~~ Why is it me? Why do people who practice martial arts today not even understand common sense? A series of idiotic questions. If I keep asking them, my head will explode! Go to sleep and rest your mind first.
, Ignore this kid."
"Of course I won't allow my family to be harmed in any way! I will work hard to improve myself! Hello? Hello! You haven't finished answering my question yet? Are you listening?!" Shi Lei shouted in his heart, and he didn't see the ink for a long time.
Qilin reacted, "Huh, it's a mythical beast. I'm tired after talking for a few words." Mo Qilin looked at his wrist and silently despised it.
After calming down, Shi Lei thought about what Mo Qilin said, and his intuition told him that it was all true. But suddenly something tells you that he is a mythical beast. It probably takes some time to accept it. Although some mysteries have been solved now,
There seem to be more questions that I don’t know about.
"It seems it's time to search for ice marrow." Thinking of this, Shi Lei gradually fell into sleep. What awaited him was a brand new journey!
