Hell Emperor

Chapter 35 Xia Wei-Leize’s Adventures
Before going deep into Leize, Ye Jie took the initiative to give instructions: "You stay here first, don't move around, and explore the way for the teacher. When it is confirmed that there is no danger ahead, you can follow."

Xia Wei looked worried: "Didn't Master say that the fierce and domineering power of thunder is the nemesis of the soul? Even if a ghost is hit by thunder, his soul will be scattered. Will Master be in danger here? "

Ye Jie waved his hand to signal her to relax:

"There are few soul-refining and soul-building monsters among monsters who can't easily detect me. The soul body has this advantage. The monsters that can detect me are all at the third or fourth level. With the power of thunder, if you meet me, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape. I have a Shukui Stone on my body, so if I encounter any danger, the monsters won't be able to keep me."

After listening to Ye Jie's explanation, Xia Wei reluctantly agreed. The Shuchi Stone in Oni's hand can be said to be a weapon for escaping, but unfortunately only the soul can use it. In the hands of a living creature with a sound body, the Shuchi Stone is just a stubborn stone, no different from a random stone picked up by the roadside.

After Ye Jie left, Xia Wei's heart has been hanging, and she doesn't know what happened to her master. Is she in danger? She pursed her lips and clenched the corners of her clothes restlessly with her little fists, unable to rest for a moment.

It was not until a stick of incense had passed that Ye Jie returned. Xia Wei patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "Master, you are finally back... If you don't come back, Xiao Wei will go to Leize to find you." .”

Ye Jie scratched his head: "Didn't I tell you not to move around... Forget it. I found a monster that can help you practice. We'd better find a cage and catch it."

Xia Wei was puzzled: "Cage? Do you mean those iron cages used to trap beasts?"

Ye Jie shook his head: "Iron belongs to gold, and thunder also belongs to gold. Iron can conduct the power of thunder and lightning. It is not a good idea to use an iron cage to trap thunder beasts. Let me see... I think those gray and white rocks are good. "

Following what Ye Jie pointed out, Xia Wei also saw the rugged mountain wall that was still standing in place after being bombarded by lightning. Under the erosion of thunder and lightning, the surface of the mountain wall was pitted, and the strong wind blew through, and one could still hear the chilling sound. Whining sound.

After Ye Jie's careful selection, Xia Wei also came to a concave mountain wall. She meditated on her exercises, and a huge amount of spiritual power poured into her arms. Her muscles tightened and she obtained With the strength of an ox and a horse, she let out a cooing sound and punched the gray-white rock.

Cracks were like spider webs, spreading along the location where she fell. The rocks shook, and the sound of the explosion was like warriors beating drums, and like thunder shaking the sky above the sky.

After a few more punches, a corner of the mountain wall fell off to the ground with a muffled sound. The oval-shaped pit inside was enough to cover a beast the size of a calf.

Xia Wei raised her right hand. The raised phalanges were covered with blood, and the back of the hand was bloody. Even with the strength of the turtle hand, she would still receive a strong shock when she hit the solid rock with her fist.

Xia Wei gritted her teeth secretly, her expression stoic and fearless. Even Ye Jie couldn't help but look a little heartbroken when she looked at it. She had endured too many things that were not for her age.

"Hurry up and run the Bailianshen... Bailianshen can speed up the healing of injuries, but the pain when you are injured still has to be borne by yourself. You have to take care of your body." Ye Jie said with emotion.

With the operation of Bai Lian Shen, the injury on Xia Wei's arm improved significantly, and no more blood flowed out. After about a cup of tea, the wound was completely healed, and even the blood was reabsorbed by her skin.

"How do you feel?" Seeing Xia Wei staring at her fist thoughtfully, Ye Jie asked.

Xia Wei reached out her hand, showed the flawless back of her hand to Ye Jie, and smiled at him calmly: "It feels good. I can feel the tempering of the body by the Bailian Body. My right hand is stronger than before. It doesn't look like this anymore. If I had hit the rock like that just now, there might not have been any blood flowing out.”

Ye Jie glanced at the back of Xia Wei's weak hand and said with approval: "For ordinary practitioners who follow the path of body refining, as the physical body becomes stronger and stronger, their appearance will change more or less, and the skin will be full of wrinkles like emery cloth. , the color also tends to be bronze like copper skin and iron bone. Your skin is as fair as ever, and you don’t look like a practitioner of the body refining method at all. It is enough to paralyze the enemy at the critical moment and become a surprise killing move. "

The two of them polished the fallen stone. After preparations were completed, Xia Wei used her tortoise-like hands to pick up the stone, and then went deep in the direction of the pre-exploration.

After walking for several miles, the two came to a valley with even stronger spiritual power. The sound of thunder continued, and even the earth trembled.

The surrounding area was in chaos, broken rocks could be seen everywhere, and there were still electric charges condensed on the ground. As long as you stepped on them, a thunder would explode. Ye Jie frowned:
"Just now in this thundering valley, I discovered a group of late-stage second-order thunder worms. The power of thunder on them can help you quickly complete the Hundred Body Refining without being too seriously injured. But now... Look, it’s a mess here, and I don’t know what happened…”

The two searched but found nothing, and before they knew it they were deep into the valley surrounded by thunder.

Xia Wei, who was particularly sensitive to spiritual power, raised her head slightly at this moment, as if she smelled some unusual information. She climbed up the steep slope in front of her, suddenly opened her eyes wide, covered her mouth with her hand and said: "Master, what is that?" ?”

Ye Jie was puzzled and hurriedly came to Xia Wei and looked in the direction Xia Wei pointed. His pupils suddenly shrank and his expression was horrified: "No, run!"

What was left on the ground in front was a huge footprint. The footprint was one foot long and several feet deep. The claw marks were deeply embedded in the earth, as if it was about to tear the earth apart. There were fierce arcs of electricity all around. Just looking at it It makes people feel shuddering and makes it difficult to move.

Xia Wei also realized that the situation was urgent. The footprints alone were so huge. How big should the owner of the footprints be? If he was caught by it, he would be doomed, so he quickly retreated to the rear.

The two of them fled out of the valley in a panic. Xia Wei exhaled with fear and asked in a trembling voice:
"Master, what kind of monster is that? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that there were such huge footprints."

Ye Jie thought to himself: "If I'm not wrong, those should be the footprints left by the great monster Kui Niu. With our current strength, even if we are only within a hundred meters of Kui Niu, we will be shaken by its thunderous roar." ash……"

Xia Wei was puzzled: "Obviously we didn't even see the shadow of the monster, how could Master know that the monster must be Kui Niu?"

Ye Jie smiled: "Xiaowei, as a practitioner, it's okay if you don't have keen observation skills. You were shocked by the size of the footprints, but you ignored more details, such as the direction of the footprints and the distance between each step. .”

Xia Wei was stunned for a moment, looking a little thoughtful, and then heard Ye Jie say: "Although it was just a quick glance, I am sure that the footprints were in the shape of hoofs, and there were no traces of feet falling alternately around them, but one foot walking alone towards At present, among the great demons with thunder attributes, only the one-legged Kui Niu fits the bill."

Hearing this, Xia Wei exclaimed and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that Master could see so many things in a blink of an eye. Xiaowei still has many aspects to learn from Master."

"You are still young. When you gain more combat experience, these problems will not be difficult for you."

As he spoke, Ye Jie squatted down and put his palms close to the earth. Although he was far away from the Thunder Valley, the earth trembled regularly and never stopped:

"Now it seems that every tremor of the earth is the landing of Kui Niu. I didn't expect that a great demon of this level would come to the outskirts of Leize... So, there should be something hidden in this Thunder Valley. The lost mysterious brake."

"Xuansha? What is that?" Xia Wei blinked.

Ye Jie looked into the distance: "In the past, Yinglong brought disaster to the world, and the world was filled with mourning. General Li Jing asked for help from the Heavenly Court. The Jade Emperor ordered Thunder God to eradicate the troublesome dragon. Lei Gong borrowed a ray of the Nine Heavens Xuansha from Xuannv Empress. The moment the Xuansha fell, Thousands of miles around turned into vast scorched earth, and the endless thunder is still raging across the earth, eventually becoming the thunder in front of us."

Xia Wei felt something in her heart. She raised her head and looked up at the endless thunder in the sky. There was a bit of shock in her eyes. Then she heard Ye Jie say:
"Then Li Jing, like you, is the reincarnation of an immortal. I heard from other ghosts that Li Jing held a high position in heaven in his previous life. Hundreds of years ago, he fought against the Monkey King. I don't know if it is true or not. As for that Kui Niu must have detected the aura of Xuan Sha near the valley. For thunder beasts like it, Xuan Sha is a rare and great supplement."

Xia Wei nodded, followed Ye Jie's example and put her hands behind her back, then quietly stood on tiptoe and said, "Are there many reincarnations of immortals in this world?"

Ye Jie seemed to be stopped by her question and scratched his head: "I can't answer this question, but I heard from others that even if you become an immortal, you will not be able to enjoy eternal peace, but will have to face the impending immortal disaster. Baptism. It seems that there are not a few immortals who choose to avoid disaster through reincarnation."

As if to relieve the embarrassment of being stumped, Ye Jie suddenly said seriously: "By the way, I have a question to ask you. You have to think carefully before answering." Whatever, Xiaowei will answer truthfully."

Ye Jie spoke slowly and questioned her soul:
"Kui Niu went to the market to buy shoes. A pair of shoes sold for eight copper coins. How many copper coins did he have to pay?"

"Buying shoes? Kui Niu's feet are so big, can they fit in shoes? No, doesn't it have hooves? Why wear shoes?"

Xia Wei was a little dumbfounded. She didn't expect the master to ask such an outrageous question, but she still answered seriously: "With Kui Niu's strength, it shouldn't have to pay a single copper coin, so the answer is zero."

"Zero? This is a different answer. I guess you got it right." Ye Jie smiled.

Xia Wei stuck out her tongue and looked unconvinced: "It's obviously zero, where is the other answer?"

After chatting for a while, Ye Jie looked back and sighed:
"After being disturbed by Kui Niu, I don't know where the thunder worms I found earlier have fled to. It will be difficult to find a thunder beast suitable for your cultivation... I would have known if I would have asked Nan Linghe to follow me. Well, with her ability, it’s easy to find the right Thunder Beast for you.”

Xia Wei smiled softly and did not take Ye Jie's words to heart. Instead, she comforted Ye Jie: "Don't be discouraged, Master, we will always gain something."

Returning to the outermost mountain wall, Xia Wei looked around and suddenly frowned: "Master, have you seen the crayfish meat I brought here? I just put them here clearly."

"Really? Has anyone else been here?"

Ye Jie's expression changed slightly and he became alert. He searched around and soon saw several inconspicuous dark blue blood stains on the ground. The blood stains were intermittent and full of chaotic traces.

"Wait a minute, those rough dragging marks don't seem to be left by humans..." Observing carefully, Ye Jie also found clues from the clues, and couldn't help but open his mouth, "A monster came here and stole what you brought. Here comes the crayfish meat.”

"what?"

Hearing this, Xia Wei was furious. A monster took advantage of her absence and stole the crayfish meat she had worked so hard to hunt. How could she bear this? She rolled up her sleeves and said, "Master, let's go and give those monsters some power now!"

Ye Jie nodded. The powerful monster didn't even bother to steal the meat of the first-order crayfish, so he just went to try his luck.

They quickly stepped forward and followed the blood stains. The two of them came to a cave the size of a head. Judging from the large number of shrimp shells scattered around and the dark blue blood stains at the entrance of the cave, the crayfish meat should be there. This is divided and finally sent into the hole.

Ye Jie closed his eyes and sensed it, and said: "There are three auras in the cave, each of which is at the mid-second level. Can you deal with it?"

Xia Wei nodded decisively. After the injury on her arm recovered, she couldn't wait to fight against a powerful enemy.

According to the method taught to her by Ye Jie, she first used her spiritual power to make a fire, then used her spiritual power to create wind, and poured the billowing smoke into the cave.

Ye Jie looked around and blocked several smoking cave entrances with stones. After confirming that they were correct, he and Xia Wei waited and waited. He sensed that the monsters under the cave were scurrying away.

Finally, the monster couldn't bear the smoke and rushed out of the cave. Xia Wei, who had been prepared for it, saw the right moment and punched it. Ye Jie didn't even see the monster clearly, and it fell under Xia Wei's hands. It turned into a pile of rotten flesh and died miserably, as if it had been hit with the full force of a wild bull.

The death of the monster beast aroused strong anger among his companions. With a loud squeaking sound, two more monster beasts rushed out. This time Ye Jie finally saw the full picture of the monster beast. It was a giant rat with a round belly.

The Shuo Mouse has lost the flexibility of ordinary mice, and its limbs are short and thick. It seems that it is difficult to bear the weight of the entire body. What is even more impossible to ignore is the electric current running wildly on its fur. Anyone who touches it will be injured by lightning. .

Seeing its full appearance, even Ye Jie couldn't help but take half a step back. As a soul, if he was struck by lightning, half of his life would be lost on the spot.

"That's the second-level monster, the electric rat? It's really hard to find anywhere, it takes no effort to get it. Xia Wei, the power of an electric rat is more than enough to help you take a step forward in Bailian." Ye Jie reminded.

Xia Wei looked overjoyed when she saw one of the electric mice surge in electric energy, then jumped up and turned into a blue light, intending to knock her to the ground with the power of thunder and lightning.

Xia Wei did not avoid it, raised her palm to greet her, and the electric mouse crashed into Xia Wei's palm. The fierce electric current passed through Xia Wei's body, causing her delicate body to tremble uncontrollably. Her skin, flesh, and His bones and even his internal organs felt as if they were being burned by a hot iron. The pain continued to spread, and his entire body fell into complete paralysis.

Ordinary people would probably fall to the ground without making a sound when being struck by lightning, but Xia Wei, who had expected it, showed a look that was exactly what she meant.

She tried her best to use the cultivation method of Bai Lian Shen, and the spiritual power continued to flow on the slightly charred body. All injured parts became tougher after being tempered by Bai Lian Shen, and even the internal organs and lungs were brand new.

Gradually, the paralysis of the electric current could not overwhelm her. Amidst the violent electric shock, she regained the upper hand and regained control of her body.

Shuoshu realized something was wrong and wanted to escape, but it was too late. Xia Wei tightly grabbed Shuoshu's body and fired a soul-breaking arrow at a very close range, completely shattering its soul.

The last remaining giant rat was frightened by the scene in front of him and just wanted to escape. Ye Jie, who had quick eyes and quick hands, restrained it with a soul-binding rope.

"Xia Wei, grab it quickly and keep it for future practice." Ye Jie reminded.

After being reminded by her master, Xia Wei raised the concave stone and suppressed the immobile rat. No matter how hard it struggled, it could not escape.

"what is that?"

After the battle, Ye Jie seemed to have discovered something. He pointed at Xia Wei's face and said with some surprise.

Xia Wei raised her hand to touch her face, only to see a little black substance in her palm, and even her arms were black.

"Wait a minute, are those impurities in the body? Could it be that your Hundred Refining Body has entered the mastery stage?"

Ye Jie looked surprised when he remembered the records of this technique in the classics. The elimination of impurities from the body was the sign of the second stage of the Hundred Refining Body.

Ye Jie hurriedly took out the broken page and put it in Xia Wei's hand. However, when he saw that [Hundred Body Refining (Introduction)] in the exercise column turned into [Hundred Refining Body (Mastery)] at this moment, he couldn't help but sigh: " You have mastered the middle-grade Earth-level skills so quickly, Xiaowei, you are indeed gifted."

Faced with Ye Jie's praise, Xia Wei beamed with joy and smiled.
