Shen Rui looked at the direction Zhu Heihu was leaving and said, "If this person is left here, he will sooner or later cause harm to my senior brother Wu and Master Changchun. I will definitely get rid of him when I complete my magical work."
Hun Lao didn't want to hit him, so he smiled and said, "Okay, we'll talk about this later. You're lucky to have escaped from him today."
A bunch of dark clouds suddenly appeared in the clear sky deep in the mountains, and the surrounding area immediately became dark. There was a rumble, and there was a flash of lightning in the dark clouds. After a while, lightning pierced the sky, and struck a tree on the hillside with a snap. There was a click on the huge tree, and the huge tree broke. Amidst the thunder, a young man stood up from the ground. In order to practice magic, he walked all the way to the deserted mountains. Facing the increasingly powerful Heavenly Thunder Magic, Shen Rui found that his mental power was getting stronger and stronger, and the effect of his training was no less than the secret skill of mental power, the Smart Bafang Jue, or even worse. Only then did Shen Rui understand Why is Ye Mei's mental power so much stronger than hers? It turns out that her mental power can be increased when practicing magic. Since she has never practiced magic in the past, she is naturally not as good as her.
There are also benefits to having strong mental strength. It allows Shen Rui to escape in time when faced with some powerful monsters when walking in the mountains, and he can easily pursue some low-level monsters when he encounters them, thus improving his combat effectiveness. Improvement of combat effectiveness It's not as simple as sitting in a cave and practicing.
"Finally reached the peak of advanced martial arts." Shen Rui felt the flow of martial energy in his body, and felt a little happy in his heart. Through the practice of murderous aura techniques during this period, his strength also progressed rapidly. Reaching the peak of advanced martial arts also It means that half of his feet have already stepped into the King of Martial Arts level. As long as there is an opportunity to upgrade, he can directly enter the King of Martial Arts level. But what puzzles him is that the murderous aura in his body does not seem to be fully stimulated. , every time a martial skill is used, the strength attribute is not reflected.
In this regard, Hun Lao's explanation is that the main veins need to be dredged in order for this murderous aura technique to exert its due power, and now it can only be practiced as a general martial arts skill.
"You are about to be promoted to the King of Martial Arts now, but that doesn't mean you will be promoted to the King of Martial Arts level right away. Maybe you will be able to break through in a few months, and maybe you will achieve this achievement in your lifetime." Old Hun said.
"If you want to be promoted to the King of Martial Arts as quickly as possible, there is only one way now, and that is to find the third piece of extremely golden land." Hun Lao continued.
"The third piece of extremely golden land, you put it lightly. Didn't you say that such a place is rare?" Shen Rui complained.
"Look slowly. You need to refine six pieces of extremely golden land in total to complete the refining stage of the bronze head and iron arm. It's too early to complain now," said Hun Lao.
"Okay." Shen Rui said helplessly. However, as his mental power became stronger, he believed that he would be able to find the fourth golden land. He closed his eyes, and his mental power crawled out like a spider web, feeling The attributes flow between heaven and earth, trying to find something familiar to him. Only by finding a place with strong metallicity can he have a certain chance of finding a place of extreme gold.
There was a faint trace of metallicity coming from the northwest. Shen Rui no longer hesitated and immediately rushed to the northwest. But he was disappointed not long after. This was a valley. Not to mention a land of extremely gold, the metallicity was also extremely high. Weak, Shen Rui felt the presence of metal only because he was very close to the place where Shen Rui was standing just now. He searched for more than a dozen places with strong metal properties, but there was no such place.
Soul Lao sighed and said: "I have already said that looking for the most golden place is hard to come by. You are just wasting your time looking for it."
Shen Rui also seemed very frustrated. It was extremely difficult to find such a golden place. When would his so-called road to become a Martial Emperor come to an end? He had no choice but to correct his mentality and head west with all his heart.
In the evening of that day, Shen Rui walked out of the woods and saw a village in front of him. According to Shen Rui's feeling, this was also a place with strong metal properties. He sensed it carefully, but he still couldn't sense the aura of the extremely golden land. However, This was something he had become accustomed to, and he didn't think anything of it. It was just that he was tired of eating dry food and wild fruits in the mountains and forests. There might be a village where he could change his taste and solve the problem of eating.
There was no hotel in the village, so Shen Rui saw a farmer nearby and walked over. The strange thing was that it was not yet evening, but the door of the farmer's house was closed. He knocked on the door for a while, but no one opened the door, so he went to another house. One family went there, but this one was the same. After knocking on five or six doors in a row, a farmer in his forties finally opened the door.
"Hello, uncle, I'm passing through. It's getting late. Can I stay at your place for one night?" Shen Rui said sincerely.
The farmer looked at Shen Rui carefully and saw that he was only a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old. Then he felt relieved and asked, "Are you passing by?"
Shen Rui nodded.
The farmer looked surprised and said, "Come in."
Shen Rui walked in and felt a familiar feeling. The structure of this house was almost the same as the one he had in Mingyang Town, but it looked a little simpler. It reminded him of his adoptive father and the life in Mingyang Town. .
"Please sit down and have a drink of water." The farmer brought him a glass of water.
Shen Rui sat down, took the water from the other party's hand, looked around, and asked: "Uncle, is there no one else in your family?"
The farmer blushed and said, "No, I am a sharecropper. I make a living by helping others farm. My family is poor and I cannot afford a wife. My parents died young, so I am single."
Shen Rui hummed and asked again: "Thank you, uncle, it's not too late now, why are the doors closed in every house?"
When the farmer heard this, he looked a little nervous and said: "Brother, you don't know something. There are monsters in our village recently. People disappear inexplicably every evening. So it's not late, so we have to close the door early." , otherwise monsters would come to eat people. Fortunately, you came a step early, otherwise, you would also become food in the monster's mouth."
"Monster?" Shen Rui was surprised. No wonder every household closed the door early and refused to open the door. He asked immediately: "Has anyone seen this monster?"
"Yes, Xiao Erwa from the village south saw with his own eyes a shiny golden snake-like thing with a body as big as a water tank that could swallow people in one bite." The farmer said in horror.
A big golden snake? Shen Rui immediately understood that there must be a monster roaming around here, and the villagers mistakenly thought it was a monster. Thinking that the monster actually came to the human race to do evil, Shen Rui became curious for a moment and said: "Isn't there no one taking care of this matter?"
The farmer sighed and said: "Yes, the officials in our town also sent people to destroy this monster. Unexpectedly, these people were eaten by the big snake before they took action. The town owner was so scared that he never came back." Send people here and let us fend for ourselves. The young adults in our village have also spontaneously organized a team to deal with this monster, but so far, not only have they not caught this monster, but several people have been eaten."
