In this wilderness, Junior Leopard had been in a coma for a whole night. If it was someone else, he would have been eaten by a wild beast. But because he had absorbed the kindling of the Mysterious Fire, and a part of the Mysterious Fire's energy had been integrated into his Internal Qi, his body emitted a thin spirit of the Mysterious Fire, which made the surrounding beasts not dare to come close.
"Is it a blessing in disguise, or misfortune never comes alone?!"
Junior Leopard slowly opened his eyes and looked at the mottled sunlight shining on his body from the weird branches above his head. He was motionless and silent for a long time.
It was not that he didn't want to move, but if he moved, his whole body would be full of tearing.
Yesterday's fire had hurt his pneuma greatly. Although he found that his tendons and meridians were not seriously damaged when he woke up, the severe pain did not subside. Instead, with the recovery of his tendons and meridians, the tingling feeling became clearer.
Although the weather was sunny, in this gloomy forest, the rain from yesterday was still there. Junior Leopard was now lying in the mud. When he was in a coma, he didn't feel anything. Now that he woke up, he only felt that in addition to the pain in his tendons and meridians, the mud outside also revealed a piercing chill. Under the combination of internal and external, that feeling was already indescribable.
Junior Leopard was now numb, and the muscles on his face twitched irregularly.
"Only by going through hardships can one become a superior person. I have suffered so much. If I can't become a superior person in the future, then God is really blind!"
Junior Leopard laughed, and a strange sound came from his throat.
Suddenly, he let out a loud roar. His body, which was lying on the ground, suddenly straightened, and he stood up from the ground like a carp doing a backflip.
"Hiss!" Junior Leopard seemed to have used too much strength just now, so he gave a long hiss. Then, he stiffened his body and took two steps forward.
"The tendons and meridians are not seriously damaged, and the Internal Qi is almost recovered. There is a strange thing in my Dantian, but it seems to be harmless to me!"
The muscles on Junior Leopard's face were stiff and twitching. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he raised a breath of Internal Qi. In an instant, the Internal Qi of Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire began to run in his tendons and meridians.
"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah —!" After running the Internal Qi in his body for the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Junior Leopard also let out an "ah" sound. After running the Internal Qi in his whole body once, the muscles on his face finally got rid of the stiff state and gradually returned to normal.
Strangely, this time, with the flow of Internal Qi, the Internal Qi integrated with the black flame energy was not as scorching as yesterday. On the contrary, it was slowly nourishing his tendons and meridians, greatly alleviating his pain.
"As the saying goes, after suffering comes happiness, it should be like this, right?"
The pain had not been completely eliminated, but it no longer prevented him from finding joy in the midst of suffering.
He was a naturally optimistic person and did not have the habit of blaming others. In his mind, the reason why he had suffered so much yesterday was just his bad luck. The initiator had already been cut into two by him, and it seemed that he had gained some benefits, so he no longer had any resentment. Even when he was in extreme pain, he only felt depressed and self-deprecating.
Now that the pain was greatly reduced, his mood was naturally very good.
Turning his head to look, the corpse of the strange loach that had been cut into two by him yesterday was still lying there quietly. He directly walked over. "This monster can withstand my Kunai attack. If I didn't have a magic weapon like the coal dagger in my hand, maybe I wouldn't have been able to kill it. This shows that its outer layer of scales is really hard. It's better to peel it off and let me have it!"
Thinking of this, he did it. Anyway, this loach had already been cut into two by him. He peeled off the outer layer of scales from the cut and rubbed it in his hand a few times. A satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Well, it's really not bad. It seems to be quite solid!"
Looking at the skin and flesh left by the loach after being peeled, his stomach roared again. Following the principle of not wasting, Junior Leopard made a pile of fire and roasted this loach.
Although this loach looked fierce, its taste was really good. It was tender and smooth, with a strange fragrance. After eating it, he felt a stream of heat flow into the black flame in his Dantian, and the flame suddenly became a lot more active.
This loach was not big, so Junior Leopard ate it up in a few bites. However, he was only 30% full. After eating the last bite, Junior Leopard looked around eagerly, wanting to see if there was any wild food around. Unfortunately, last night, all the walking beasts within a few miles nearby were all scared away by the spirit of the Mysterious Fire. Except for some old trees and moss, there was no other living thing.
"Forget it. Let me rest for a while and leave this damn place first!" Junior Leopard thought for a while and then gave up the idea of looking for food. He glanced around and saw the loach's skull that he had just eaten.
This skull was originally connected to the loach's spine. But it was first cut into two by Junior Leopard and then roasted for a period of time, so it had long fallen off. In addition, Junior Leopard still had a lingering fear of the rows of sharp teeth when the loach opened its mouth last night, so he didn't eat the loach's head just now. So now, the roasted loach's head just fell on the ground alone.
"I'd like to see how many rows of teeth you have!" Junior Leopard took the head in his hand and gently opened its mouth.
Good heavens! Once it was opened, it was really startled. Although it had been roasted, it obviously didn't have any effect on the teeth in the loach's mouth. Those rows of teeth were still emitting a cold light, which made people's scalps tingle.
Not only the teeth, but also its skull. It seemed that the period of roasting just now only had an effect on the loach's skin and flesh. The skull was still as hard as before. Junior Leopard tried to pinch it hard, but the skull didn't move at all. There was even a faint shock force.
"Maybe it will be useful in the future. I'll keep it!" Junior Leopard thought for a while and didn't throw the skull away. Instead, he put it away.
"I've rested enough. It's time to work!" Junior Leopard operated the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique and used its heat to evaporate the mud on his body. Then he patted the mud on his body. His nose twitched slightly and he turned his head to look around. Last night, in order to avoid the rain, he went straight to the place where the trees were sparse. He didn't know the direction at all. Now he didn't know where he was at all.
In desperation, he had to choose a direction and kept walking forward. But after a few steps, he felt that something was wrong.
The more he walked forward, the fewer trees there were, and the more muddy the ground under his feet became. Finally, when he came to an open place, he couldn't help but let out a curse.
Swamp, he actually ran into the swamp.
Previously, he entered the forest from the swamp at the end of the stream. He didn't expect to go around for a long time and come back. Moreover, it was obvious that after running for a while after the rain, he went around to the other side of the swamp.
At this time, the sun had risen and the fog above the swamp began to thicken. Even now, he could smell a strange fishy smell at the edge of the swamp.
This place was the junction between the dense forest and the swamp. The floating mud on the ground was soft. Anyone who stepped on it would sink into the mud and be unable to get out. The surrounding trees had become sparse and it was difficult to walk forward. Looking up, it was a swamp full of water plants and fog. Under the sun, piles of white fog floated up from the ground, emitting a faint fishy smell. His physical condition was originally not very good. Now that he had carelessly inhaled so much poisonous gas, he only felt dizzy. With a stagger, he almost fell to the ground.
"This won't do. I have to leave this damn place quickly!" Junior Leopard subconsciously lifted his foot, but helplessly found that, inadvertently, half of his foot had already sunk into the mud.
"Damn it!" Junior Leopard cursed under his breath. He forcibly operated the Yanfu Inner Strength and pulled himself out of the mud. He took a deep breath and twisted his body like an agile ape. He scurried to the nearest tree, found a thicker branch, and sat down cross-legged.
"Hmm, let's do it here. I'll recover my strength first!" Junior Leopard sat cross-legged on the branch and calmed his breathing. However, in a place like this that was filled with strange poisonous gas, he didn't dare to practice. The purpose of this kind of breathing was to recover his strength.
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, his strength gradually recovered. He walked in the opposite direction, ready to find a way back.
"Hiss!" Before he got up, a strange hissing sound came from under his feet. He raised his head to take a look, and his body was suddenly shocked. He saw that under the tree, there was already a strange white-scaled snake. Its body was more than 10 feet long, and its fierce eyes flashed with yellow light. It spat out its blood-red tongue and looked at him.
"Eh, why does this snake look so familiar?"
Junior Leopard was stunned at first, then he suddenly cursed. Wasn't this the white-scaled snake he had met when he was chasing the wild boar the day before yesterday?
It really was a small world!
This time, Junior Leopard didn't dare to move. After all, he was born in the mountains and his family was a hunter. He naturally knew that in this kind of situation, he couldn't move carelessly, because if he moved, the snake would attack. This kind of attack was the most fatal. If it was in normal times, he wouldn't be afraid. But now, his body's condition really made it difficult for him to move!
So Junior Leopard didn't move. Not only did he not move, but he also stared straight at the snake's fierce yellow eyes.
One man and one snake confronted each other for about half an hour. The snake seemed to realize that the person in front of it was not easy to deal with. The yellow light in its fierce eyes gradually faded, and its entrenched body also slowly opened up, as if it wanted to retreat.
Junior Leopard heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, but he didn't dare to relax on the surface. He still stared at the snake. Suddenly, a gust of wind sounded above his head, and a black shadow swept down from the sky.
"Eagle?!!!"
Junior Leopard was shocked. He saw a black eagle swooping down from the sky, and a pair of iron claws were grabbing the white-scaled snake's body that had just opened up.
The white-scaled snake suddenly twisted its body and curled up again, but it was a little late. Just at the moment when it opened up its entrenched body, the black eagle's claws had already scratched the weak part of its abdomen. Although the white scales were thick, the sharp claws still scratched six deep bloody marks, and the internal organs in the abdomen had also flowed out.
"Hiss!" The white-scaled snake seemed to know that it couldn't escape, so it actually stimulated the last of its fierceness. Regardless of its own injuries, it took advantage of the black eagle's not withdrawing its claws to bind the black eagle's legs. Then it opened its mouth, and two streams of dark green venom sprayed from its poisonous fangs directly on the eagle's body.
No one knew where this snake came from, but its venom was extremely powerful. Once it touched the black eagle's body, a puff of white smoke came out of the black eagle's body, and a large piece of feathers and flesh were all corroded, deep to the bone.
The black eagle felt pain, and its pair of sharp claws exerted more force. When the red-scaled snake wrapped half of its body, it finally tore the white-scaled snake into two parts. The two parts of the snake twisted and twitched on the ground for a while, and then no longer moved. Looking at the black eagle, after breaking free from the dead snake, the venom on its body became more and more serious. It jumped on the ground a few times, and then jumped toward the corpse of the strange snake that had been broken into two parts. Its hook-like beak seemed to want to peck something from the snake's body, but just as it pecked open the snake's belly, its body tilted and it fell to the ground.
It was a situation where both sides were injured, and both sides perished.
"I unexpectedly became the fisherman, there's really no justice in this world!" Junior Leopard jumped down from the tree with a strange expression, walked to the snake's body in two or three steps, and separated the part of the snake's belly that the black eagle pecked open before it died.
"Snake gallbladder, good stuff!" Junior Leopard put two fingers into the snake's belly, and when he came out again, there was a warm snake gallbladder in his hand. This snake gallbladder was the size of a pigeon egg, black and purple, and slightly emitted a fishy smell. Junior Leopard directly threw the snake gallbladder into his mouth without thinking.
Snake gallbladder brightened the eyes.
Since he found that his eyes were developing towards the Sharingan, Junior Leopard had been very concerned. Although he didn't know how to practice, he still knew that snake gallbladder brightened the eyes. When he was at home, he often went to the mountainside to find snakes, kill snakes, and eat raw snake gallbladders. Although he didn't see any special effect, it seemed that there was no harm. Therefore, he could be considered to be familiar with killing snakes and taking out snake gallbladders. This white-scaled snake was very different from the snakes he had caught before, but snake gallbladders should not be too different. Therefore, he moved quickly and directly swallowed the snake gallbladder.
After swallowing the snake gallbladder, Junior Leopard turned his attention to the eagle and the snake's body.
The snake soup was delicious, and the eagle meat was fragrant!
Whether it was the eagle or the snake, this head was enough for him to eat several meals.
After all, the loach just now really didn't feed him enough!
"Hey, what's this?!"
Just when Junior Leopard wanted to entangle the snake and the eagle's body together and was ready to take them away, he accidentally found that the strange snake's head flashed a little.
This was very strange. The snake's body had been broken in two, starting from the abdomen, so the snake's head had not suffered any damage, it was very intact. There was still a piece of eagle meat in its mouth, it was dead, it couldn't be any more dead.
"In the eyes?!"
Junior Leopard took another look and confirmed that the light came from the snake's eyes. Looking carefully, he found that it was the moonlight reflected from the snake's eyes. The moonlight passed through the snake's eyes and reflected a faint red light.
"Interesting!" Junior Leopard's heart moved. This light was not reflected from the snake's eyes. He immediately turned the snake's head over, and without hesitation, he used the kunai to split the snake's head into two halves.
After the snake's head was split into two halves, a faint red light emitted.
"Inner Elixir?! This snake is really f * cking unlucky. It's almost becoming a monster! "
Junior Leopard secretly took a breath, knowing that he was lucky today.
This snake had an Inner Elixir, then what about an eagle?
Junior Leopard naturally would not be polite to a dead eagle. He directly turned over the eagle's body and used the kunai to cut it open. Similarly, he found a cyan Inner Elixir in the black eagle's head.
These two Inner Elixirs were not big, about the size of soybeans. But Junior Leopard knew that if he sold these two Inner Elixirs, he could at least sell them for tens of thousands of taels of silver.
"Misty Mountain is really like the legend. There are countless rare treasures. Unfortunately, there are too few people who can go deep into it!" After putting away the two Inner Elixirs, Junior Leopard secretly sighed in his heart. When he got up and was ready to take away the eagle's body in front of him, a burning warmth rushed from his Dantian to his eyes.
"Uh, ah —!"
In an instant, Junior Leopard felt that everything in front of him went black. His eyes seemed to be burning. He covered his eyes with his hands and bent down.
"Hoo, hoo, hoo —!" Regardless of the fact that this was the edge of the swamp, he took two big mouthfuls of stinky air and forced himself to calm down.
"Snake gallbladder, it's the snake gallbladder just now. Is it poisonous?"
There was no need to think too much. Junior Leopard confirmed the cause of this. Obviously, it was caused by the snake gallbladder he had just eaten. He could not help but secretly regret in his heart. This was the depths of Misty Mountain, not like his own home. Although the snakes in his home were poisonous, they were just ordinary native snakes. How could poisonous snakes compare with these strange snakes in Misty Mountain? He did not know why he directly took the gallbladder and swallowed it. It was a miscalculation, a miscalculation.
Junior Leopard was very regretful. He did not dare to be careless. He operated the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Internal Qi in his body, trying to remove the "poison" in his body.
As soon as the Internal Qi of Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire started, Junior Leopard felt that something was wrong. The Internal Qi of Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire had no effect on the "toxicity" that rushed into his eyes. It even added fuel to the fire. In just a few breaths, the scorching power had completely poured into his eyes. An incomparably tearing pain came from his eyes. Then, he abruptly removed his hands that were covering his eyes. At the same time, he felt that his hands that were covering his eyes seemed to be burned by fire.
"I, I'm not blind!"
When he moved his hands away, the surrounding scene appeared in front of him again. It seemed that everything was normal, except that the whole world was covered with a faint layer of blood.
"What, what's going on?"
After confirming that he was not blind, Junior Leopard was a little relieved.
In the faint blood color, everything within a radius of a kilometer was clearly shrouded in his sight.
Junior Leopard suddenly understood that his weird eyes were opened again, so there was a 360-degree angle of view. But this time, the range of view was expanded to within a kilometer. In other words, the range of observation was greatly increased.
"Is it the effect of the snake gallbladder?"
Junior Leopard secretly speculated in his heart. But what was the matter with the pain in his hands just now?
Junior Leopard lowered his head and looked at his hands. "No way? — —! "
His hands were already scorched black. At first glance, it was obvious that he had been burned by fire. Some places had been burned so deep that the bones could be seen. Just now, he had been in a state of excitement, so he did not pay attention to it. Now that he looked at them, what followed was a burst of incomparable pain.
"Hiss — —!" Junior Leopard sucked in a breath of cold air and endured the sharp pain. In his mind, he began to replay what had just happened in his body.
That heat flow, which was what Junior Leopard thought was poison at first, now seemed to be the medicinal effect of the snake gallbladder. It directly rushed to his eyes. After the "medicinal effect" rushed to his eyes, he felt that his eyes seemed to be torn by a powerful force, causing severe pain. At the same time, something in his eyes seemed to be broken by the medicinal effect. Then, his hands covering his eyes were burned.
Squinting his eyes, Junior Leopard seemed to realize something and began to examine the Internal Qi in his body.
"Sure enough!" Feeling that there was little Internal Qi left in his body, Junior Leopard slowly squinted his eyes and began to strive to speed up the state just now. "My eyes should be able to purify and release the Internal Qi in my body. I should have discovered it earlier. Last night, when I opened my eyes, this happened. But I was in pain, so I did not pay much attention to it. Just now, wasn't the route of the heat flow in my body the same as the route of the Internal Qi last night? I practice the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Scripture, so my Internal Qi has a strong property of fire. Therefore, after being purified by my eyes, what is released is fire. Fortunately, I am young and my cultivation of Internal Qi is not high. Otherwise, my hands would have been ruined! "
Looking at his burnt hand, the corner of Junior Leopard's mouth twitched. "Just now, it should not only be the effect of the strange snake, but also the effect of the snake gall I ate before. It was brought up by the effect of the strange snake and concentrated into my eyes. That's why I broke through. In other words …!"
Thinking of this, Junior Leopard concentrated on his eyes. Then, he felt that his eyes seemed to begin to rotate slowly. As his pupils rotated, the remaining Internal Qi of Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire in his body was also mobilized. Just like the effect of the medicine, it gathered together and poured into his eyes. Then, Junior Leopard only felt that his eyes were hot, and the Internal Qi that he had just gathered in his body suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed. Almost at the same time, a bright flame suddenly rose up in the place where he had just stared at, which was a short tree. In an instant, the short tree was submerged, and then it continued to burn, burning a fist-sized pit on the muddy ground before it disappeared.
"Damn it, it really became Sharingan!" The corner of Junior Leopard's mouth twitched, and he began to ponder, "This pair of eyes has some strange functions. In addition to enlarging the field of vision, insight, and improving the control of Internal Qi and strength, it can also purify the Internal Qi and release it through the eyes. I practice the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique, so after the Internal Qi is purified, this is the effect. If I practice the cold Internal Qi, I might be able to freeze the tree. Damn, this world is so strange. How can there be superpower?" Junior Leopard's mouth twitched, and then he began to ponder, "These eyes have some strange functions. No, this is not a superpower. If there is no Internal Qi, it is at most a strengthened dynamic vision! " After all, this world had already given him too many surprises. Not to mention those miraculous martial arts, Xue Wuya's ability to use the Bloodfire Gang to turn into a bloody light and fly in the sky was already far beyond his expectations. Now, it was just that his eyes had another function, it was no big deal. Junior Leopard thought to himself. Junior Leopard thought to himself in his heart. Regarding the changes in his eyes, he was not too surprised.
After turning his eyes back to normal, Junior Leopard sat down in exhaustion.
"The eyes are good, but the burden on the body is too big. Although it is special to release flames from the eyes, it needs a period of preparation and concentration to mobilize the Internal Qi in the body. The launching speed is too slow. Otherwise, it would be good to use it to plot against Xue Wuya. What a pity!"
Suddenly, Kuroto seemed to have thought of something, and his face became ugly, "Damn it, isn't this the same as using Amaterasu in the Mangekyou Sharingan? Although it is very powerful, it will damage the eyes. If I don't do it for a long time, I might go blind, it will not be worth it!"
Thinking of this, Junior Leopard felt dispirited. He had no interest in the corpses of the eagle and the snake in front of him. The strong smell of blood around had already attracted some wild beasts. He did not dare to stay any longer. After recovering his Internal Qi and physical strength, he dragged his burnt feet and began to look for the way back.
It was also his good luck that in the process of searching, he found traces of wandering flowers. In this way, he completed the five-day task given by Xue Wuya on the second day.
