The entrance to the water prison made a muffled sound and then opened.
Lei Xingkong came to his senses and looked up.
A faint human voice came from above: "Little boy, Lei Xingkong, come up quickly, come up..."
Is it the uncle?!
Lei Xingkong was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses.
There was no daylight in this underground water prison. He had been immersed in cultivation, and unknowingly, a whole night had passed.
The iron rope moved, and the top called again: "Little boy, are you okay? Come up quickly!"
Lei Xingkong could hear the eagerness in the old captain's voice. He smiled slightly and slammed his right foot on the ground, making a loud "swish" sound. The water in the water prison splashed around like a waterfall, and he borrowed the help of
With this strong counter-shock force, he jumped up in the air, grabbed the iron rope and climbed up.
"Little kid, you..."
The old team leader was lying at the entrance looking down, and was startled when he suddenly saw him climbing up so quickly.
"Uncle, I'm out!"
Lei Xingkong silently used his inner energy to steam and dry his clothes, while saying hello to the old team leader.
The old team leader looked at Lei Xingkong blankly, the suspicion in his eyes became more intense, and asked: "Little boy, you... you... this... what is going on? Why do I feel that you look like this now?
Are you more energetic than last night before you went in?"
Lei Xingkong smiled when he heard this.
After a night of practice, he not only improved his cultivation, but more importantly, he obtained abundant earth energy to cleanse his body, making his body stronger and naturally looking more energetic.
Before he could say anything more, the cold air coming out of the water prison gave the old captain a shiver. He quickly closed the iron cover and led Lei Xingkong away.
After returning to the ground, Lei Xingkong was suddenly startled: "Uncle, it's not yet dawn!"
The sky was still full of stars, but a little light bloomed in the east, making the night look gray. It was obvious that it was not yet sunrise.
The old team leader chuckled, lowered his voice and said: "The sun hasn't come out yet, but it's almost there. I'm afraid that if you stay down there for too long, you'll get ill in the future!"
Lei Xingkong felt a warmth in his heart: "Uncle, what you did is against military orders. If Han Juncheng finds out, he will be punished."
"If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who knows?"
The old team leader smiled, and then said worriedly: "You have to go on patrol today. There are dangers everywhere in the Demonic Mountain. It doesn't matter whether I am punished or not. You better think about how you can come back alive, little kid!"
Lei Xingkong was silent.
He wasn't worried about what the old captain said. He had gained so much benefit from practicing in the water prison before, but he was a little worried about whether he could go again tomorrow night.
"We have to find a way to go to the water prison every day!"
After thinking secretly for a while, Lei Xingkong suddenly had an idea in his mind. He thought that since he was sent to the water cell last night because he was too late to pay the military order, why not try to pay the order later today?
"Okay, just do this. Judging from Han Juncheng's posture, he should put me in a water prison."
The more Lei Xingkong thought about it, the more reliable he thought it was. From now on, he would go to the Demonic Mountain to seize and refine souls during the day, and absorb the earth's energy in the water prison at night. This trip to Dibei Outpost was indeed the right one.
After making up his mind, he immediately felt completely relaxed, and he and the old team leader began to chat wordlessly until dawn.
…
The next day, under the watchful eyes of everyone at the post, Lei Xingkong took his Tianji and picked up the small leather bag and set out to patrol the post again.
Walking on the road slowly and unhurriedly, Lei Xingkong felt a sense of peace and tranquility in his heart.
Although there was desert all around and as far as the eye could see, it was this vast and unnoticed environment that gave him an opportunity to adjust his body and mind.
The improvement of cultivation level and the change of physical constitution all require some time to become familiar with.
Bit by bit, slowly and orderly, Lei Xingkong continued to realize his own changes. With every step he took, Lei Xingkong felt that his energy became more full and energetic, and his confidence in his heart became stronger and stronger.
This is an improvement in the mental realm, which is more important than the improvement in body and soul.
Lei Xingkong walked for half a day from the outpost gate to Demon Mountain, which was more than double the time it took yesterday.
When he arrived at the entrance of Demon Mountain, although his appearance had not changed, he was full of confidence and majestic, as if he had been transformed into a different person.
"Okay, we must refine more souls today!".
After pondering for a moment, Lei Xingkong suddenly whispered something, and then stepped directly into the Demon Mountain.
Walking among the rocks was uneventful.
Until he came to the place where he killed the nine-eyed beast yesterday, Lei Xingkong suddenly felt a warning sign.
From behind several rock towers around, seven or eight nine-eyed beasts appeared. Each of them stared at Lei Xingkong, their eyes flashing with hatred and ferocity.
Lei Xingkong held the horizontal sword in his hand, and he suddenly felt heroic. Looking at the menacing appearance of those strange beasts, he chuckled and couldn't help but murmur to himself: "Now, all the relatives and friends of the suffering master have come to visit!"
"Ah wu..."
Coincidentally, several strange beasts roared together, and then rushed towards them with their teeth and claws bared.
Lei Xingkong spotted one of them and faced it with a knife...
…
The day passes and the night comes again.
Lei Xingkong dragged his tired body, stained with blood, into the gate of the outpost step by step.
"This kid is back alive!"
Inside the outpost, everyone looked at him quietly.
There were a dozen new scars on his body.
When he was besieged by those nine-eyed beasts, he tried his best to kill them all.
During this period, he almost died under the teeth and claws of those beasts several times, especially the scars on his throat, which almost killed him.
It has to be said that those beasts are really smart. They actually knew how to sacrifice the lives of two companions to distract Lei Xingkong. Then the leader of the strange beasts launched a killing blow insidiously from the side... A life and death attack.
At the moment of the attack, if Lei Xingkong hadn't made great progress in cultivation and forced his body to move back half an inch, he would not have been able to come back at this time.
But even so, the claws of the leader beast still left three claw marks on his throat, almost scratching his throat.
After that, he encountered several wild beasts in succession...
In comparison, this day was sadder and more dangerous than the day before.
Lei Xingkong walked up to Han Juncheng and respectfully handed over the original stone: "Master Juncheng, I will pay the order."
Han Juncheng looked at Lei Xingkong with half-squinted eyes. At this moment, he was really surprised. He didn't expect that this kid could survive, which made his plan fail again.
Since you have to do it, do it to the end!
The murderous intention in his heart became even stronger. He pointed to the sky and said without any anger: "You are late again today. I will punish you like yesterday and put you in a water cell overnight."
"Here!"
This was what Lei Xingkong was waiting for. When he heard what Han said, he felt happy, but he didn't dare to show it on the surface.
Han Juncheng snorted coldly, turned around and left without leaving any room for negotiation.
Lei Xingkong looked at Han Juncheng's background, and the corners of his mouth curved in a cold arc.
He spent that night in a water prison as he wished.
