Taking out the star crystal from the tree hole, Lin Zhen followed the instructions in the survival manual and placed the star crystal in his lower dantian.
Circulating the dantian's Qi in the same way as usual, the star crystal began to emit traces of light into Lin Zhen's body and into his lower dantian.
Lin Zhen let out a comfortable moan. This feeling was too wonderful!
His dantian was warm and comfortable. As traces of energy entered his dantian, Lin Zhen's dantian quickly strengthened.
The strength of the dantian's Qi was determined by the capacity of the dantian. For example, Lin Zhen's dantian's Qi capacity was currently 900. He might have used up a few dozen during the battle just now. However, the energy that entered his dantian not only immediately replenished Lin Zhen's dantian, but it also started to expand!
If Lin Zhen's dantian's Qi capacity reached 1,000, he would advance to an intermediate warlord. Then, after absorbing this star core crystal, his dantian's Qi capacity would reach 980!
Lin Zhen only opened his eyes when all the energy from the star crystal had been injected and turned into nothingness.
"Phew! What an awesome cultivation speed. Such a small star core crystal that was just born allowed me to take a big step forward from the peak of rank 3. It saved me half a month of cultivation time. I just need one more and I can advance to an intermediate warlord. "
"This is just a newly born star core crystal. If it was a meteor crystal, I'm afraid I would directly advance to the beginner stage of rank 4."
After Lin Zhen finished absorbing the star core crystal, he left the tree hole in satisfaction. He followed the same path back to the stamen where Zhang Yue was.
After returning to rest for a while, Lin Zhen also took a nap. The sky gradually brightened.
Early in the morning, the morning dew was thick. Lin Zhen had been tossing and turning for half the night and finally had a good sleep in the morning. Just as he was sleeping soundly, he suddenly felt a gust of cold air assault him.
He opened his eyes abruptly. This time, he didn't have time to dodge and a huge current hit him. Together with Zhang Yue, the two of them were instantly submerged in waist-deep water.
"Cough cough!" Lin Zhen coughed violently. He choked on a few mouthfuls of water before struggling to get up.
Zhang Yue was even worse off. He flopped up and down in the water, occasionally popping his head out and shouting, "Help! I can't swim! Ah … Gurgle gurgle! "
One moment, his head would sink into the water, and the next moment, he would resurface. He looked like he was about to drown.
Lin Zhen got up and wiped the water off his face. The water flowed down through the gaps between the petals, becoming less and less.
In less than ten seconds, the water was only ankle deep. Zhang Yue was still struggling. "Wah! There's a mutated beast in the water. He's dragging me into the water. Who's going to save me … Mm! Idol? "
Zhang Yue stood there in a daze, looking at Lin Zhen, the word 'dumbfounded' was written in his eyes.
"Have you had enough?" Lin Zhen asked.
Zhang Yue was stunned for a moment. "Enough."
"If that's enough, then get up. It's already morning. I've never seen a warrior who can sleep as much as you. No wonder you're so fat."
Zhang Yue stood up like a drowned rat. He still didn't understand the situation and asked Lin Zhen, "Idol, who's plotting against us? Why would they use so much water to plot against us? This doesn't have any lethality. Could it be that my enemies know that I can't swim? "
Lin Zhen rolled his eyes. "Save it. How could you have so many enemies? This is the morning dew that fell from the leaves above. The two of us were unlucky and inexperienced. We didn't even notice if there were drooping leaves above the stamen. "
Dew? " Zhang Yue opened his mouth and looked up. After a while, he lowered his head again. "This place is too scary. The dew can drown people. Why do I feel like an ant?"
Lin Zhen twisted his sleeves. "Stop complaining. Get up and get something to eat. I'm so hungry."
Warriors can't do without food. When Lin Zhen came, he had some food in his space ring. However, they were all fast food that would only be eaten when there was no food. For example, compressed biscuits, beef jerky, vitamin sugar pills, and the like. Although they can solve hunger, they're really disgusting. No one is willing to eat these things unless it's a last resort. "
"Food? I have it. I brought two pig legs. I even brought seasoning. It's in my bag."
Zhang Yue said as he rummaged through the stamen for his bag. He didn't have a space ring.
He found his bag in a puddle in the corner. When he opened it, the pig legs were wet and the seasoning had turned into a paste.
"Idol, I told you that you didn't agree to our barbecue last night. Now look, there's no seasoning." Zhang Yue showed Lin Zhen the empty bag of salt with a bitter face.
"There's no seasoning …" Lin Zhen was also a bit troubled. He prepared a lot of things, but he really didn't prepare any seasoning.
Zhang Yue threw away the seasoning bag and looked at the pig legs. "Idol, this pig leg seems to have some flavor. It's too hot here. The pig leg is spoiled."
"It's spoiled! Spoiled things definitely can't be eaten. If a warrior eats something bad, it will affect their fighting strength. Throw it away. "
Zhang Yue helplessly threw away the pig leg. Lin Zhen took out a few packs of compressed biscuits and sugar pills. The two of them chewed dryly for a while.
"Idol, can't we leave this tree until we reach the wargod realm?"
"That's right." Lin Zhen swallowed a mouthful of compressed biscuits with difficulty. He didn't bring any water in his space ring, so he could only drink a bit of dew.
"Why can't we leave? You're a spirit reader who can fly. If you walk under the canopy, can't you just fly out to buy something and come back? "
Lin Zhen shook his head. "Guan Shanyue said before we came, and it was written in the survival manual that the outer layer of leaves of the Stellar Fruit Tree has a protective effect. The leaves are very corrosive. Not to mention humans, even aircrafts will be corroded by the leaves. Whoever dares to go near the outermost layer of leaves is courting death. That's why we can only go through the stairway. Otherwise, Liang Feng wouldn't have been in such a hideous state."
Zhang Yue's face became even more bitter. "Then what should we do? We're just beginner warlords. It'll take at least one or two years to reach the wargod realm. No, one or two years is impossible. Three, five, ten, or even eight years is possible. If I live like this for three to five years, I'll starve and lose weight. "
Lin Zhen looked at Zhang Yue helplessly. He didn't expect this kid to treat his fat body as a treasure. No wonder he couldn't lose weight no matter how hard he tried.
However, what he said made sense. Even Lin Zhen, who had been reborn, couldn't bear living like this.
"There's no good way for the time being. Let's hold on for a while. If we meet other people, see if we can borrow some food or buy some."
Lin Zhen ate a candy pill and stood up. "Don't worry. It's not a bad thing for you to lose weight. Let's go and look for star crystals. I found a star core crystal that just bloomed last night."
"Wow! Idol, you found a star crystal. That's amazing. Let's go. "
Zhang Yue patted his butt and stood up. Hearing that the star crystal finally had some motivation, he wasn't jealous of Lin Zhen. He was indeed a good teammate.
There was no sense of direction in the forest. There were branches and leaves everywhere. After walking for a long time, the two of them were a little confused.
It was the same everywhere. They couldn't even distinguish between north, south, east, and west. In the end, Lin Zhen took out a compass. He had prepared this before coming here.
"Let's go this way. Let's try to take some paths that ordinary people don't want to take. Those wide branches must have been passed by people. There probably aren't many star crystals."
The two of them started to climb the small branches. They tried their best to go to places with lush branches and leaves that were difficult to reach.
After walking for a while, Zhang Yue suddenly twitched his nose. "Idol, I think I smell flowers."
"Oh! Your nose is that good? "Lin Zhen was surprised.
"Hehe, I've loved all kinds of food since I was young. I'm very sensitive to smells, especially fragrances. There must be flowers nearby."
If there were flowers, it meant that there were Star Crystals. Once a Star Crystal was plucked, the flower would wither. Lin Zhen was also motivated. Following Zhang Yue's guidance, the two of them passed through layers upon layers of branches. After tearing apart many layers of leaves, they finally found their target.
"Wow! This is a star crystal. It's so beautiful! "
In the dim forest, a flower was in full bloom. A beautiful and resplendent star core crystal was suspended above the stamen, emitting soft starlight.
The two of them ran over. Lin Zhen carefully looked around. After confirming that there were no mutated insects or enemies, he said to Zhang Yue, "You pluck it and absorb it. The more you increase your strength, the more protection we will have."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yue shook his head. "Idol, you should pluck it. I see that you are about to break through to a fourth grade warlord. You should absorb it and increase your strength. This way, we can collect more star crystals and not be afraid of fighting."
"No!" Lin Zhen waved his hand. This was what Zhang Yue had discovered. He didn't want to fight over it. Since the two of them were together, the best way was to take one star crystal each. It was better to set the rules early and have fewer worries.
Seeing Lin Zhen's insistence, Zhang Yue happily accepted the star crystal. After twenty minutes of absorption, Zhang Yue's strength had greatly increased. He had actually directly advanced to a fourth grade warlord!
Zhang Yue was originally at the peak of third grade. Moreover, this star crystal was about to enter the meteor stage. Naturally, it was better than the one Lin Zhen found. It also contained more energy. It was normal for him to advance to the fourth grade.
After Zhang Yue advanced, he felt that his sense of smell seemed to have become more sensitive. The two of them continued to explore the forest.
However, this time, their luck wasn't so good. After three whole days of walking, they didn't find a second star crystal.
They didn't find any star crystals. Instead, they encountered a lot of insects. Fortunately, Lin Zhen's strength was strong enough. In addition, his ability to escape was also not bad. Every time, they were scared but not in danger.
On the morning of the third day, the two of them ate some jerky with difficulty and prepared to continue their exploration.
They hadn't walked far when the sound of someone talking came from a big tree branch in front of them.
Lin Zhen and Zhang Yue hurriedly hid under a leaf and peeked through the gap.
At first, they thought that they might have encountered a student from the same year. However, it turned out that wasn't the case.
On the wide tree branch, four martial artists were running quickly. Their clothes were tattered beyond recognition. Some of them were even wearing unknown fur. At first glance, it was obvious that they weren't newcomers.
"Quick, quick! Someone found a few star crystals. Many people are confronting each other. It will belong to whoever grabs it. We of the 496th class must get a share of it! "
