Chapter 215 Hunting
Three great suns hang high in the sky, emitting extremely blazing heat.
In terms of the environment of heaven and earth alone, Dongyuan Realm is much worse than Cangyun Realm. Ordinary babies cannot survive such high temperatures and must rely on the power of totems.
Chu Zheng used the invisibility technique, walking like wind, and sneaked in the wilderness. He had been away from the tribe for half a day. He had seen many wild beasts along the way, ranging from zero to first level. There were few There are second-level wild beasts.
Obviously, for the safety of the tribe, the area has been cleared, and the remaining wild beasts are probably prepared for the coming-of-age ceremony.
Leaving the tribe this time, Chu Zheng only planned to see what was going on in the surrounding area. As for the wild beasts, he could just take one with him when he went back, and he would be able to do business.
After the adult ceremony, he will be able to freely enter and leave the tribe, and there is no need to rush.
Stepping into the spiritual transformation, Chu Zheng has been able to use many magical powers, and he will basically not encounter any danger in the nearby wilderness.
With the repair panel, he didn’t need to stop to recover his strength. After a whole day’s journey, Chu Zheng was thousands of miles away from the tribe. When the six silver moons were hanging high, he just Stopped.
Around here, he found that second-level wild beasts occasionally appeared, far enough away from the Wangshan tribe.
Among the Wangshan tribe, most people's coming-of-age ceremony would not reach such a distant place.
Less than thirty miles in front of Chu Zheng, there is a vast plain with weeds as tall as a person growing.
Under the cover of weeds, there are some huge incomplete stones, spread across dozens of miles.
This is a trace of the activities of the human race. A tribe once thrived here, but now only a piece of debris remains.
For Chu Zheng, the ruins are the places he is most interested in, and he will gain a lot from them.
Chu Zheng did not approach the ruins rashly. In the wasteland, his spiritual eyes saw a powerful aura that was moving. The blood energy was so strong that it exceeded the first-level category and was a second-level desolate beast.
With this kind of existence, given his current strength, there is no way to challenge him head-on, and some means are needed.
Chu Zheng restrained his breath, slowly entered the plain, found a piece of wasteland, and began to slowly dig the soil and carve the formation patterns.
Now that I don’t have a magic weapon in hand, if I want to hunt this second-level wild beast, I will naturally need to spend a lot more effort.
In order to avoid disturbing the wild beast, Chu Zheng moved very carefully and dug for a whole day and night before digging all the formation patterns.
The magic circle he used this time was the transformation of the gold element in the five-element magic circle, which was derived from the Treasure Record of Eternal True Tribulation.
This array is just a incomplete castrated version, much simplified. Its complete version is named 'Gengjin Demon-Slaying Array' in the Eternal True Tribulation Treasure Record. It has a grade of up to ninth level and can suppress A supreme existence.
Now that Chu Zheng had no materials in his hands, he could only use the method of turning stone into gold. He pinched out golden threads and buried them in the array patterns to enhance the power of the array.
Then, he began to circulate the energy in his body, constantly charging the magic circle. After exhaustion, he restored the panel to its full strength, and the cycle continued.
It took another whole day, until late at night, when the Yuan Qi that the magic circle could carry reached its limit, and Chu Zheng just stopped.
He wasted no time, adjusted his breath for a moment, then stood up and touched the wild beast.
Desolate beasts have a strong sense of territory. There is only one desolate beast active near this plain.
Soon, Chu Zheng arrived near the wild beast. He quietly observed it from hundreds of feet away.
In a patch of weeds, there lay a giant black beast nearly two feet long, with dark hair all over its body, thick limbs, and muscles covered with bulging blood vessels.
At this moment, it is eating, swallowing all the flesh, blood and bones into its belly, without wasting any.
[Shadow Lion (Level 2): Habitually active at night, violent in temperament, likes to kill prey, can be invisible in the night, possesses magical powers: crazy blood, transformation into shadow. 】
The wild beasts that move at night...
Chu Zheng raised his head and glanced at the sky, dawn was approaching.
He waited patiently for more than an hour. The sky turned white, and the light of the morning sun soon fell on the earth.
It wasn’t until daybreak that Chu Zheng made any move.
He withdrew from a distance of several hundred feet, then unlocked the invisibility technique. He immediately took off the bone spear, cut off a section of his arm, threw it with force, threw it thousands of feet, and hit the shadow lion's head hard without any hesitation. , turned around and started running away.
The blood from the broken arm gushed out like a fountain, spreading all the way.
Although it is daytime now, it will have some impact on the shadow lion, but after all, it is a second-level ferocious beast. It will not take a lot of time to catch up with him. Every second counts.
"Roar——"
A thunder beast roar exploded in the wasteland. Chu Zheng's method was no less than a provocation, and it completely angered the shadow lion in an instant.
The ear-piercing howl of the wind, accompanied by the beast's roar, came from a distance, but in just a short tea time, the shadow lion had already chased Chu Zheng less than a hundred feet behind him.
The thick bloody smell mixed with the unique fishy smell of wild beasts poured into Chu Zheng's mouth and nose.
Calculating the distance silently, Chu Zheng was sure that in a dozen breaths, he would be able to reach the area where the magic circle was located.
"Woo——"
A shrill roar came from behind, signaling murderous intent. Chu Zheng turned around and glanced, his expression suddenly changed.
A huge boulder with a diameter of more than several feet came from the air. This was a bit beyond his expectation. This shadow lion could actually use throwing stones? !
In a hurry, Chu Zheng had no time to dodge, and half of his body was hit by a boulder. There was a crisp sound between the bones, and the whole body was instantly torn into two pieces by the extremely violent force.
The repair panel operated instantly, making up for the incomplete body. Chu Zheng took advantage of the huge force on the boulder to fly thousands of feet, rolled into the range of the magic circle, and then cast Invisibility, step aside.
The Shadow Lion followed closely, and a dazzling golden light suddenly lit up. In the daytime, the brilliance shot into the sky and was clearly visible hundreds of miles away.
The shadow lion stopped and roared continuously from its throat.
Buzz——
The array pattern lit up with dazzling light, and more than a thousand flying swords condensed into shape instantly, like light rain falling.
Puff puff puff!
"Woo——"
The dull sound of flesh and blood being separated, mixed with a low groan of pain, was heard. Between the magic circles, the shadow lion only struggled twice before being struck by the Sky Sword. The anger turned into a sieve.
The formation only lasted for three breaths before it collapsed. Yuan Qi dissipated, and the golden threads between the formations were broken inch by inch.
Chu Zheng exhaled a filthy breath. If it were not for the repair panel, he would have almost died today.
This shadow lion is not very intelligent, but its hunting experience is quite sophisticated. It must have been active in this plain for a long time, and it has learned to use the huge rocks in the tribe's ruins to as a means of attack.
Chu Zheng stepped forward slowly, took the essence between the shadow lion's flesh and blood into his mouth, and turned towards the ruins.
This ruins has been abandoned for a long time.
Judging from the information given by the spiritual eye, the age of these buildings should be tens of thousands of years ago.
For the creatures in the Dongyuan World, this is an extremely long time and has been passed down for many generations.
Chu Zheng walked around the entire ruins and found many killing weapons left behind, basically bone spears, bone knives, and bone arrows.
These things are covered with complicated runes, and they have been broken, without any spiritual power.
But under the repair panel, these things regained their brilliance and began to emit surging energy fluctuations.
[Dragon Bone Spear (Level 5): A killing weapon made from the bones of a real dragon. It is engraved with armor-piercing runes. It has a strong suppressive power against low-level desolate beasts and can frighten desolate beasts below the third level. Make them afraid to get close. 】【Eagle Bone Blade (Level 4): A warrior made from the backbone of a sacred bird. It is engraved with multiple runes. It has the effect of sharpening and reinforcing. It is quenched with highly toxic substances. Creatures of Level 3 and below will have their throats sealed with blood. . 】
......
In addition to these things, Chu Zheng also found an incomplete totem stone slab.
After this stone slab was repaired, it gave Chu Zheng a great surprise.
[Totem Slate: From the Red Bear Tribe, engraved with the method of carving a first-class totem. The totem has magical powers: drawing spirit, great strength, moving mountains, avoiding water and fire, and being indestructible. 】
On the stone slab, there was a giant bear engraved on it, which was composed of mysterious runes. Chu Zheng tried to understand it, but did not gain much.
There was no reference around him to allow him to try.
It is not easy to carve patterns on your own body. You need to seek advice from a witch.
In the tribe, witches are responsible for carving totems on newborns. She should have a lot of experience.
It's been almost five days since he came out for this coming-of-age ceremony. It's not a short time. If he doesn't go back, Lie may come looking for him and waste unnecessary time.
Looking at the desolate ruins in front of him, Chu Zheng couldn't help but feel a little dazed. He held the first-class totem in his hand, and it still looks like this now.
Tens of thousands of years ago, this place would have been far less safe than it is now.
However, judging from the weapons he obtained, there should not be many elites when the Red Bear tribe was destroyed. Otherwise, there should not be only fourth- and fifth-level weapons.
Wangshan tribe can have a strong man like Lie. The Red Bear tribe has a first-class totem, which should be more powerful. It is only reasonable to have at least a seventh-level or even eighth-level existence.
…………
…………
In the blink of an eye, it had been five days since Chu Zheng entered the wilderness.
"It's been five days. No matter what, it's time to come back. Are you in danger?"
"I'm afraid I've died in the wilderness. After all, I'm still a child. , It is difficult to fight against the danger, Lie is still too worried, how can he agree to such a child to go hunting alone.”
Seeing that Zhengchu had not come back for a long time, most people in the Wangshan tribe felt that Zhengchu had been killed by beasts.
Although there are no overly powerful beasts around here, there are still many dangers. In previous years, casualties would occur during the coming-of-age ceremony.
After all, the wilderness is unknown, and many powerful wild beasts are wandering around, so accidents cannot be ruled out.
Many people in the tribe feel a little pity. At Zhengchu's current age, he can have such power, and he will definitely have great achievements in the future.
In the future, Zhengchu will most likely be an invincible strongman who can surpass Lie. His death now is a huge loss to the entire Wangshan tribe.
In front of the tribe gate, Lie looked at the continuous grass in the distance, his eyes dim, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Originally, he had enough confidence in Zhengchu, but now, he is a little unsure.
He was a little worried that Zheng Chu had run too far and would not be able to find his way home. After all, he was still a child, so it would be a bit rash to let him go out alone.
"Father, will something happen to Zhengchu?"
Ying squatted beside Lie's legs, feeling a little depressed. She still liked this younger brother very much. Although Zhengchu said very little, But very sensible.
She has to follow the witch practice and cannot always be by her father's side. Zhengchu will be able to help her take care of her father in the future.
"No." Lie shook his head. When he found Zhengchu, the scene was so tragic. In that situation, Zhengchu still survived and would never die in this small coming-of-age ceremony.
Before he finished speaking, Lie's eyes narrowed, and a hint of joy suddenly appeared on his face.
Whoosh——
The grass swayed for a while, and Chu Zheng stepped out, just as when he left, with no damage at all, dragging a leopard nearly ten feet long in his hand, with brown beasts all over his body. Patterns, skull pierced by bone arrows.
Seeing this leopard, Lie's eyes flashed with satisfaction.
Among the first-level wild beasts, brown leopards are absolutely difficult to deal with. Ordinary tribesmen must be at least twenty-five years old to hunt this level of wild beasts alone.
Zhengchu is less than five years old now and can be called a genius among geniuses.
"Zhengchu is back!"
Soon someone in the tribe spotted Chu Zheng's figure, shouted loudly, and suddenly the door was surrounded by people.
A child over four years old has completed the coming of age ceremony, which is an incredible miracle.
"I actually hunted a brown leopard. It's amazing!"
"No, there's more!"
It wasn't until all the brown leopards were dragged out that everyone discovered that on its tail, Also dragging some things.
A huge jet-black head squeezed out from the grass, covered with scars, and various bone spear warriors were tied to it. At a glance, there were no less than dozens of them.
“Is this the head of a shadow lion?!”
"Zhengchu actually hunted and killed a shadow lion?!"
A hint of horror flashed across Lie's eyes.
The shadow lion requires at least an experienced hunter over fifty years old to lead a team, and to cooperate with seven or eight young men around thirty years old to hunt it back, and there may be casualties.
Zhengchu did it alone.
And the weapons tied to the Shadow Lion's head are extremely precious, and there are only a few of them in the entire Wangshan tribe.
It wasn't until Chu Zheng approached that he discovered that Chu Zheng was holding something in his hand, which was a stone slab.
Not far away, Wu was walking slowly. His expression suddenly changed. A little excitement emerged in his turbid eyes. He quickened his pace, leaned over, and asked in disbelief:< br>
"Zhengchu, this is..."
Chu Zheng handed the slate to Wu.
"This...this is a first-class totem!"
The witch gently stroked the stone slab, and the excitement in his eyes could no longer be suppressed: "Blessed by the spirit of the tribe!"
With this stone slab, the Wangshan tribe will undergo earth-shaking changes.
“This has nothing to do with the spirit of the tribe.”
Chu Zheng raised his head slightly, with a bright smile on his young face:
“It’s because I am very powerful. .”
He wants to start with the Wangshan tribe and subtly destroy the tribe's belief in totems.
Compared to the totem, he will bring new hope to the Dongyuan Realm.
Qi refining, formation patterns, weapon casting, ore refining, these things will one day replace totems.
He wants all the destiny of Dongyuan Realm to belong to Qi Refiners.
