Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 21 The First Battle of the Monster Beast
The night was as cold as water, Lu Zhong slowly opened his eyes, with helplessness written all over his face.

Without the abundant support of spiritual energy in Qingliu Ruins, it would be extremely difficult for him to recover his spiritual power by absorbing the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth, not to mention practicing exercises.

From meditating in the evening to now, it took a full three hours to recover half of his spiritual power.

"It's no wonder that the demonic cultivators invaded the Qingliu Market, and most of the residents had no intention of moving out. It is really a rare place to practice spiritual energy. It is estimated that after the market incident, people who fled I will go back too." Thinking of this, Lu Zhong couldn't help feeling the hardships of the road.

In terms of wealth and law, although land is at the bottom, its importance is only slightly inferior to the first three.

The places available for cultivation are so important, one can imagine that the influence of the law of wealth and companionship on cultivation is definitely not as simple as talking about it.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhong suddenly remembered that he had won a ring this afternoon, and quickly found it.

The ring was made of brass, with a khaki spar embedded on the surface, and the body of the ring was engraved with intricate patterns, still shimmering.

On the inner ring of this brass ring, there are four petite characters.

"Little Earth Spirit Ring?"

When Lu Zhong read those four words, his expression was puzzled for a while, and then full of ecstasy.

"Could it be that this is a magic weapon?"

If this is the case, then he will make a lot of money this time!
Especially this little earth spirit ring, it seems that it is obviously a defensive magic weapon, and its value will be higher than that of an offensive magic weapon.

After calming down, Lu Zhong began to try to input spiritual power into the spiritual ring.

With the input of spiritual power, the little earth spirit ring began to glow with a faint khaki-yellow light, and soon a man-sized khaki-yellow cover appeared, covering his whole body inside.

Curiously poking it, Lu Zhong found that it was a one-way protective cover. Presumably, the function of the Little Earth Spirit Ring should be to condense a protective cover.

After trying it, the strength of the small earth spirit cover is not high, it is estimated that it will disappear after blocking a spell.

"Even so, the Little Earth Spirit Ring is still a magic weapon!" Lu Zhong couldn't put it down, and he was full of energy and put it on his hand directly, which was a small guarantee for his own safety.

"Grumble!"

Consuming a lot of mana, and not having eaten all afternoon, my stomach was already beating drums.

"Let me see, what is there to eat here."

Lu Zhong recalled that when he entered the valley, there seemed to be a vegetable field beside the stream.

Although the vegetable field was overgrown with weeds, there seemed to be some potatoes.

Following his memory, he began to look for it.

The moonlight tonight is not very bright, and it is sometimes covered by dark clouds, making it difficult to see.

Fortunately, Lu Zhong's body has been nourished by spiritual energy for a long time. Although his eyesight cannot reach the level of seeing things in the dark, he can still see the scenery in the valley clearly with a little moonlight, so that he will not become blind at night.

Perhaps it was not yet midsummer, and the valley was very quiet at this time, not a single insect could be heard.

At first, he didn't think it was a big deal.

Until there was a light sound from behind, and a chill was felt down the spine.

Subconsciously, Lu Zhong activated the shield of the Little Earth Spirit Ring.

Almost at the same time, only a "bang" was heard, and a huge force came from behind, directly sending him flying with his shield.

The khaki shield is spherical, and it rolled for a while before stopping.

The dizzy Lu Zhong stabilized his figure, opened his eyes and looked in front of him, and suddenly took a breath.

Just when the clouds opened and the moon was bright, a huge monster with scarlet eyes and green-brown scales all over its body slowly emerged from the darkness.

It has rough scales like tree bark, and the surface is covered with hardened mud and resin, which can provide a certain degree of protection for this beast. The streamlined body is as vigorous and powerful as a leopard, and its one-foot-long body is full of oppression. sense.

A pair of dagger-like tusks, shining metallic luster in the moonlight.

"The Green Scaled Leopard!"

Lu Zhong felt suffocated, and immediately guessed the origin of this beast.

The green-scaled leopard is a kind of monster active in Yanling Mountain. The green-scaled leopard skin on its body is an excellent raw material for making low-grade robes. The leopard teeth are also the raw material for refining magical weapons. It is the favorite hunting beast of those monks. Target.

He never thought that he would meet the Green Scaled Leopard just like this.

It is true that the Green Scaled Leopard is a first-level monster, but its strength is equivalent to that of a monk in the mid-stage of Qi Refining, and it is not something that can be dealt with by the second-level Qi Refining.

Not to mention dealing with it, Lu Zhong probably wouldn't even be able to fight back.

Unexpectedly, he couldn't turn around and run away. Once he showed his timidity, it would actually make the beast even more excited.

"What should I do?" Lu Zhong was so anxious that he couldn't help moving his eyes to the left, where Li Dong lived. "The lamp hasn't been lit yet, so Li Dong hasn't noticed it yet, has he?"

Clenching the fireball talisman in his hand, he didn't think he could hit this agile leopard with one blow.

Every leopard is as agile as the wind, let alone a first-order monster like the green-scaled leopard.

To be honest, even if it grew wings and flew, he wouldn't be surprised at all.

"Aww..." A deep roar came from the mouth of the green-scaled leopard.

It can be seen that it is already very impatient.

The front paws kept digging the mud, and each paw formed a ditch. Occasionally, it turned over a piece of bluestone, and immediately pulled out a series of sparks.

Seeing this scene, Lu Zhong's heart trembled, thinking what would happen if he was scratched.

At the very least, it is estimated that a few catties of meat will be lost, right?
The green-scaled leopard circled around its prey a few times, seeing that the target hadn't fled and showed its flaws, it finally couldn't help it anymore.

The body full of muscles twisted, and suddenly rushed out like an arrow from the string.

At this moment, there was a loud shout from the side.

"middle!"

Several ice crystal spears shot out from the ground, and the target was the green-scaled leopard.

The green-scaled leopard realized that it was in danger, and suddenly turned around in the air, swiftly dodging most of the ice spears, only one of them pierced its hind leg, and let out a roar in pain.

Lu Zhong was the closest, and his eardrums were almost shattered.

He almost thought he was going to die just now, but fortunately Li Dong arrived in time.

"Why are you still standing there, come up with me to drive it away!" On the slope, Li Dong rushed down with a long sword in his hand, shouting loudly.

Waking up the dreamer with a word, Lu Zhong quickly raised the long knife in his hand, activated the little earth spirit shield again, and surrounded him.

Without mastering a single attack spell, it was impossible for him to injure the green-scaled leopard with his strength. The only function was to distract the beast and provide Li Dong with an opportunity to find an opportunity to attack.

That's what Lu Zhong did. He kept making loud noises, distracting the Green Scaled Leopard.

On the other side, Li Dong was holding several talismans in his hand, his eyes were fixed on the front, looking for opportunities to make a move.

The two sides remained in a stalemate for a while.

At this time, the Green Scaled Leopard roared and jumped far away.

It looked back at the two of them, then disappeared into the night without looking back.

Seeing this scene, Lu Zhong thumped in his heart, secretly thinking that it was not good.

The Green Scaled Leopard is extremely vengeful, now that it is not preyed but injured, it will definitely hold grudges against the two of them, it must have looked back just now to remember what it was like to be with Li Dong, so as to prepare for the future revenge.

"Don't worry about it, we'll leave here tomorrow." Li Dong saw Lu Zhong's worry and said calmly.

He knows more about the green-scaled leopard. He knows that once this kind of monster suffers, it will not attack again if it is not sure. That is to say, the green-scaled leopard will not attack again until it recovers from its injury. them.

After the green-scaled leopard recovered from its injury, the two had already left for a long time, so how could they be afraid that this beast would seek revenge?

Back in the cave, Lu Zhong didn't dare to fall asleep again, and spent the rest of the night in fear.

It wasn't until dawn that he dared to relax a bit.

The bright sunshine shone down in the valley, dispelling the night fog of last night.

With dark circles under his eyes, Lu Zhong walked to the small stream in the valley, and washed his face with a pool of clear stream water, his whole body immediately became much more energetic.

Looking at Li Dong, he had already walked out the door with the boy in his arms.

"What kind of person is this? It doesn't look like his own flesh and blood. He even carried it with him when he ran away?" Lu Zhong thought curiously, but he didn't intend to ask Li Dong about it, lest he would offend him.

He could see that Li Dong was actually a cold and heartless person.

I was willing to give an exorcism talisman before, probably because I wanted to find a helper so that I could escape from the dangerous Qingliu Market together.

As for the rescue last night, it is estimated that after Lu Zhong's death, he would be unable to support himself alone.

Perhaps the only thing Li Dong cared about was the boy.
