Alienated Martial Arts

The forest is filled with the fragrance of flowers and shaded by green trees.

It gives people a sense of peace and tranquility.

But it is full of unknown and strange dangers.

In this completely unfamiliar world, Wei Tao saw for the first time what a hidden fatal murderous intention was.

After eating a few packs of ethereal flowers and a sandfly, he felt a little full, so he was ready to walk around and inspect his own territory.

Not far outside the Ethereal Garden, he was flying at low altitude, shuttled through the dense jungle, but there was a sudden change without any warning.

He was ambushed by a black bug that couldn't be named and looked inconspicuous. It jumped out from the hidden bush and bit him.

Although he immediately swung his sickle to kill the opponent, the wound quickly rotted and spread rapidly outwards.

Even his mind was in a trance, which almost made him unable to maintain his flying posture, causing him to fall upside down.

This black beetle is awesome.

First hide, then make a surprise attack.

One hit and he immediately ran away.

There is absolutely no intention of being greedy for success.

If it were still the same praying mantis from before, it might just drink up its hatred and return to the west.

But alas, everything was completely different after he arrived as a distraction and fully took over.

Although he had just arrived and had not yet found the direction of evolution and improvement, under the control of True Spirit Distraction, both his reaction speed and body control ability were more than twice as strong as before.

Therefore, after being attacked by a sneak attack, he can counterattack as soon as possible and kill the black beetle that is about to escape with a sickle.

As time went by, Wei Tao's vision turned black, his mind became increasingly blurry, and he could no longer control the flapping of his wings.

He quickly found a place to stop, swung his blade joints to cut away most of the carrion, and then slowly sat down and leaned against the tree trunk to recover.

"This stuff is poisonous."

"So, I almost got knocked over by a black bug."

Wei Tao took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, changed to a more comfortable position, and began to continue removing the remaining carrion.

After a moment, he looked impatient.

He simply waved his claws and doubled the size of the wound, fundamentally solving the source of the problem.

After a full quarter of an hour, the darkening vision finally returned to its original state.

However, the bite wound will take longer to grow and heal, and it will return to normal in a short while.

Buzz buzz...

The sound of flapping wings came from far to near.

The old sandfly quickly rushed forward with two guards.

On the way there, they first saw the body of the black bug, and their expressions suddenly changed, becoming more frightened and awe-inspiring.

What frightened the sandflies was that shortly after the previous attack, the Poison Armor lurked near the Ethereal Flower Garden again and attacked them again.

However, in the past, the enemy who had to be managed by the steward every time to lead them to join forces to deal with them unexpectedly died like this! ?

It still looked like it had been hacked to death without giving it any chance to fight back.

It definitely shows that the steward's strength has skyrocketed recently, and he is already far above the poisonous beetle, so he can defeat the enemy with one move, and there is no unnecessary trace of battle from beginning to end.

"Master Steward, are you okay?"

The old sandfly knelt down and his tone became more respectful.

It was as if someone of the same kind had just been eaten, and it didn't cause any waves in his heart at all.

In other words, the hierarchy of superiority and inferiority has been deeply imprinted on his consciousness, like a steel seal of thought, which cannot tolerate any disobedience or questioning.

"Find that black insect and bring it to me."

"Things that don't know whether to live or die dare to sneak up on me and bite me, so they must be eaten by me."

Wei Tao yawned as he spoke, "Although I'm a little full now, eating another insect shouldn't be a big problem."

"Master Steward..."

The old sandfly spoke cautiously and tentatively.

But as soon as he stood up, he was interrupted without mercy.

"My lord, my lord is a piece of shit."

"Where did you learn the feudal dross from?"

Wei Tao raised his head and glanced expressionlessly, "We are all bugs. Do bugs know that, although they look somewhat human, they are not human after all, so where does the word "adult" come from?"

The old sandfly couldn't help being stunned, and immediately kowtowed as if pounding garlic. He changed his mind without hesitation, "Yes, yes, it's all the little bug's fault. Please punish the big bug in charge."

"God doesn't care about bugs."

"Forget it, I'll be your master. Anyway, no matter what I become, I still have the purest heart."

Wei Tao waved his hand and his tone became increasingly impatient.

"Hurry up and carry that black beetle over. Although it just bit me, I am kind-hearted and gentle, and I never want to see other creatures suffering.

I couldn't bear to let it die in the wilderness, so I had to work hard to let it enter my belly and be buried alive. "

The old sandfly took a deep breath and lowered his head, "Master Steward, that is a poisonous beetle. It contains a lot of toxins in its body. If you want to eat it, you need to pickle it in advance, so that it can be suppressed to the greatest extent." toxicity."

"You need to tidy up your appearance before burial, right? I understand, I understand very well."

Wei Tao nodded and slowly stood up straight on the tree, "Find some experienced people to handle this matter. Remember to tidy it up to make it more interesting. This is the respect we should have for the deceased."

As he spoke, he turned around and flapped his wings, flying towards the tree hole where he first landed, leaving only a sound echoing quietly in the forest.

"I hit my head last night when I got up to go to the toilet. I can't remember many things clearly. I need to get to know myself again and sort out the messed up memories.

Come with me and tell me more about the Ethereal Garden, the Spirit Butterfly family, and the precautions for welcoming the Spirit Butterfly Envoy, so as not to make any unnecessary jokes. "

………………

……………………

The last ray of light quietly disappeared.

The whole forest was quiet.

I don’t know when it started, but the night wind started to pick up momentum.

It makes a rustling sound when brushing the branches and leaves.

There were sounds of insects in the middle.

On the contrary, it made the night more eerie and quiet.

Wei Tao opened his eyes at this moment.

Looking through the tree hole, he looked up at the sky with the crescent moon in the sky.

This is a moon.

It has nothing to do with eyes.

He observed carefully and felt deeply, and finally came to this conclusion.

Therefore, based on his experience in the Star Ring World, there should be no World Lord in this world.

To take a step back, even if there is, it is in a deeper sleep, and it is even more difficult to wake up than Ming Shu Xingjun.

A night breeze blew by, bringing a chill.

There was also the faint roar of wild beasts, which reached his ears at this moment.

Wei Tao withdrew his gaze and turned his attention back to his body.

At the same time, he is also working hard to search for memory fragments, hoping to find a system of exercises that can be used for practice.

He could vaguely sense that there was something similar to spirituality between heaven and earth, which gave people a strange feeling of coldness, chill, and inexplicable sadness. Perhaps he could use it to practice and improve himself.

It's a pity that this kind of spiritual meaning is not obvious. It can even be said to be too vague and vague. Even at his high level, the perception is close to nothing. It is even more difficult to understand it deeply, and he can't find the right direction at all. .

Time passed little by little.

Wei Tao sat in the cave, closed his eyes and fell into concentration.

The expression on his face gradually changed, from expectation at the beginning, to hope later, and finally to helpless disappointment.

Among the memory fragments, there was no content related to practice at all.

All the memories related to the battle are nothing more than using the wings on the back and the two sickle-like jointed limbs to fly around and chop at random to solve problems.

In other words, his idea of ​​rapidly improving on the original basis was shattered at this time.

At least for now, there is no ready-made path to choose from.

However, he learned from the old Sandfly that the Spirit Butterfly clan had noble blood and was born with the inheritance of secret cultivation techniques. Compared with lower-ranking races like them, there was a huge difference between heaven and earth.

Perhaps we have to wait until the envoys of the Spirit Butterfly clan arrive to get some clues from them, and then find a way to feed back to ourselves.

However, a problem arises.

He wanted to seek cultivation methods from the Spirit Butterfly Messenger, but the arrival of the Spirit Butterfly Messenger did not mean a good thing for him.

It may even bring about a huge crisis.

According to what the old sandfly said, because the production of ethereal flowers has been greatly reduced this year, when the envoys of the Spirit Butterfly clan arrive, they will probably be severely punished.

In serious cases, you may even lose your life.

Therefore, as the time approaches, the atmosphere in the entire garden becomes more and more depressing, gradually filled with an atmosphere of anxiety and fear.

Therefore, if he cannot improve himself before the arrival of the spirit butterfly messenger, with his current strength level of only two sickles, he may not have the confidence to confront him head-on.

Wei Tao opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a breath.

Start trying other ways to improve your strength.

One exercise after another comes into view.

But none of them met the conditions for cultivation and improvement, so they had to be given up directly.

Even the most familiar and deeply immersed martial arts of Qi and Blood is difficult to get started with.

Not only because the world here is rather strange, as if it is isolated from the world, but even the true meaning of all the Holy Spirit's mysterious thoughts cannot be clearly perceived.

Also because of his current body.

After all, he is a mantis now.

To be precise, a cross between a human and a praying mantis.

It is fundamentally different from the human body.

The martial arts techniques that could be used directly are very difficult to implement and cannot achieve the desired effect at all.

Time passed little by little.

I don’t know how long it will take.

Wei Tao felt dizzy, his mind was burning with hunger, and his eyesight began to turn black again.

He had to stop for a moment and rang a bell in the cave.

During the day, the old sandfly named Xiezi said that if anything happened, he could send a message through this bell to summon people.

The more urgent the ring tone is, the more urgent it is.

The crisp ringtone rang, instantly breaking the silence of the night.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

"Protect the steward, protect the petals of the secret vault!"

A moment later, accompanied by the sound of an alarm, the old sandfly hurried over.

Behind him was a group of heavily armed guards, who surrounded the tree hole so that no needle could penetrate and no water could leak out.

When Wei Tao came out of the cave, he was a little surprised by the speed at which the sandflies swarm gathered, and what he considered to be an overreaction.

He looked at the kneeling sandfly and his throat couldn't help but ask, "Has the poisonous beetle been pickled? Can it be eaten now?"

"In response to the steward, it will take some time for the poisonous beetles to convert all the toxins into nutrients that can be absorbed."

Wei Tao took a deep breath, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and pointed in the direction of the beast's roar, "What is that roaring over there?"

"Back to the steward, there is a group of horned deer living in that direction. They are all low-level creatures without intelligence or strength."

"Catch a few and let me taste them."

"yes."

Although Zhejie was doubtful, he did not dare to question anything and immediately turned around and left with a group of guards.

Half an hour later.

Wei Tao wielded two blades and limbs, constantly bleeding and cutting the meat, and then put it into his mouth for a feast.

Swish, swish, swish!

He draws the sword like the wind, inserting it into the space without thickness, and his movements are smooth and flowing, just like a butcher unloading an ox.

It even brought out afterimages, and there was a strange rhythm hidden in them.

Unconsciously, Wei Tao's movements gradually slowed down.

Until it finally stopped completely.

“The meat is tender, juicy and chewy, and tastes good.”

"Although these horned deer look bigger and have more meat than the ethereal flowers and sandflies, the nutrients they provide are not sufficient. I need to eat more to meet my current eating requirements."

"However, these two arthropods are quite good. They are like a claw in the hand when it comes to eating and grabbing food. They have an innate advantage."

"Thinking further, I can use these two sickles as a starting point, and then conduct an in-depth study of how this body promotes the circulation of qi and blood, and deduce a martial arts technique from scratch.

As long as you can reach the height of the red line boxing, you can be considered to have a hidden trump card. "

“With a clear goal and a group of obedient subordinates to drive me, I can concentrate on practicing.

I just don’t know when the spirit butterfly messenger will come and whether it can leave me time to improve my strength. "

Click!

He was thinking wildly, and without any warning, another cold light flashed through, separating a piece of flesh and blood from the bone.

It was unintentional, but it seemed to be in harmony with the looming spiritual meaning between heaven and earth, bringing an incomparable and wonderful spiritual feeling.

Wei Tao put the deer meat into his mouth and chewed it, and then swung the sickle again.

But at the next moment, he stopped again without any warning, letting a piece of fat and tender venison fall down, and just stood there motionless.

"With one claw in hand, you have an innate advantage, you have an innate advantage..."

Wei Tao stared at the jointed limbs that looked like death's scythes. His whole body seemed to have turned into a sculpture, and he did not move for a long time.

Zhixie took two people to serve beside him.

They suddenly felt an inexplicable chill, covering all the surrounding space.

This feeling of coldness even affected their spirits, and there was darkness that should not have appeared in front of their eyes without any warning.

There was also a sound that was full of the chilling and utter silence of all things, as if it was swaying directly in the depths of their consciousness.

"The way to observe the sky and the journey to hold the sky are complete!"

"Heaven sends murderous intentions, stars move and fall, earth sends murderous intentions, dragons and snakes rise from the ground, humans send murderous intentions, heaven and earth repeat, heaven and man harmonize, all changes are established..."

Zhixiao's body was tense and still trembling.

At this moment, he felt like he was in an ice cellar, with a chill from head to toe, as if even his mental consciousness was about to be frozen.

"With this terrible feeling, does it mean that the steward has discovered the cultivation method on his own, a cultivation inheritance that can only be possessed by advanced ethnic groups such as Lingdie?"

“No, it’s impossible to realize it on your own, lower bloodline simply don’t have that ability.

So the most likely possibility is that the steward actually has a noble bloodline, but he ended up here for some reason, and only now has he awakened to the secret method of inheritance? "

The old sandfly's thoughts were racing, and he unconsciously lowered his body lower, for fear of making any noise and disturbing the understanding and practice of the person in charge.

"Cultivation of swords in the Hidden Sword Pavilion focuses on intention rather than style."

"I have never practiced the Three Talents Killing Sword before. In addition to focusing on the Vajra Secret Technique and the Sect Technique at that time, the most important reason is that it is difficult to understand and perceive the so-called sword intention.

Who knew that when I came to this place, in the process of killing animals and eating meat, I would have an inexplicable feeling of practicing sword practice and developing my sword intention. "

Uh-huh!

Wei Tao thought, and the status bar quietly appeared in front of him.

There have been new changes in the exercise interface.

Name: Sancai Killing Sickle.

Progress: 10 percent.

Status: Beginner.

Description: Based on the Sancai Killing Sword, it is created by understanding the spiritual meaning here.

"Whether to consume a gold coin in the status bar to increase the progress of Sancai Slaying Cultivation."

"From being a three-talented sword-killer to a three-talented sword-killer, it sounds like a three-talented idiot. It suddenly feels like it has dropped a lot."

Wei Tao looked at the status bar in a daze. After a while, he finally gathered his thoughts and clicked on the yes option.

Whether it sounds good or not is secondary. As long as it can be used effectively to improve your strength, that is the most important thing.

So no matter what the name is, we should advance it to sufficient progress before talking about anything else.

Uh-huh...

The status bar suddenly becomes blurry.

A gold coin disappeared without a trace.

The mysterious aura suddenly injected into the body.

Changes from the inside out begin silently.

Time passed little by little.

Wei Tao deeply understands perception.

Wherever the thoughts move, murderous intention arises quietly.

It seemed that even the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped.

When the changes stopped, he slowly opened his eyes, his eyes fell on the joints that seemed to be a little different, and he started the second ascension without hesitation.

Then came the third and fourth times, which continued to advance the progress of San Cai Sha Si's practice.

Until the darkness recedes and the sky becomes bright.

Several antlered deer were eaten completely by him.

Even the Ethereal Flower consumed several packs.

It can barely make up for the consumption of skill improvement.

Wei Tao swallowed the last bite of venison and looked at the exercise interface on the status bar.

Name: Sancai Killing Sickle.

Progress: 100%.

Status: Peak.

Description: Based on the Three Talents Killing Sword, it is formed by understanding the spiritual meaning of heaven and earth.

"When I have reached 100% progress to reach the peak, I am a master of swordsmanship with two sickles in hand. I have an innate advantage, and I can be regarded as possessing a certain degree of self-protection ability.

The swordsman of the Hidden Sword Pavilion enters the Tao with the sword, and I now use the sickle to enter the Tao. We are all sharp weapons for disembowelling, and no one is necessarily more noble.

Unfortunately, if you want to continue to break through the limits and improve, the original three-talent killing sword technique is no longer suitable. Perhaps you need to deeply understand and perceive this sad and solemn artistic conception in order to break through the barrier and find a new path. "

Wei Tao wielded a giant scythe that was obviously more than twice the size and emitted a cold light. He easily cut the leftover bones in half, as if he was cutting tofu, easily and casually without any hindrance.

The next few days.

The sun rises and sets, the moon waxes and wanes.

He stayed awake and didn't care about anything, just practicing hard in the forest.

It felt like I was back in Cangyuan City again, boxing in the Red Line Martial Arts Hall over and over again.

Even the meal was not on time. When I was thirsty, I would drink some water from the stream. When I was hungry, I would kill a horned deer and fill my stomach with ethereal flower petals.

"Master Steward."

"Master Steward?"

The bird came closer and called out cautiously.

"What's up?"

Wei Tao sat on the bluestone beside the stream and asked casually.

The old sandfly knelt down and said respectfully, "Back to the steward, the poisonous beetle's body has been sorted out. You can hold a funeral for it at any time."

"What kind of thing is it that deserves me to hold a funeral for it?"

Wei Tao frowned slightly and looked up. The surrounding environment instantly became cold and chilly.

He was so frightened that he shivered and almost collapsed to the ground.

"Oh, I remembered."

Fortunately, after a moment, Wei Tao suddenly came to his senses, "This place is shaded by green trees and has a clear stream. It's a good place to rest.

Now go back and get two packs of ethereal flowers, and bring them here together with the poisonous beetle, and let me see it off on its last journey. "

He spoke slowly, his throat swelling unconsciously.

When I think of that guy's thick body and tight flesh, I can't help but get an appetite.

"Master Steward, I have something that I don't know whether to talk about or not."

Zhixie received the order, but did not leave immediately as usual.

Instead, he still knelt by the stream and spoke carefully before speaking.

"Whatever it is, just say it."

Wei Tao rubbed the two giant scythes together, causing large dazzling sparks to explode.

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

When he spoke again, he seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage, "In response to my lord, I took inventory of the secret warehouse last night and found that there are only less than 80 kilograms of ethereal petals left, which is less than last year..."

Wei Taohun said nonchalantly, "It's normal to have fewer people than last year. Farming the land depends on the sky for food. There is no reason why the weather will be good every year.

This year there were thunderstorms and poisonous beetle attacks. Apart from these losses, a harvest of eighty kilograms is already good.

I think the Spiritual Butterfly Envoy will also understand our difficulties, and the things you have been worried about will not happen. "

At this point, he suddenly changed the topic, "Have you finished the exquisite gift box set I asked you to prepare?"

Zhixie nodded repeatedly, "Okay, it's all done. I just happened to have it with me. I can show it to you now."

Wei Tao took two simple and elegant solid wood square boxes with hints of luxury, opened them and looked at the carefully selected ethereal petals inside, as well as various precious specialties collected from the forest, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction on his face.

Three days later.

The morning light dews slightly.

Along with the sunshine, there was also a subtle buzzing sound, coming quietly from far to near.

All the sandflies stopped working and quickly gathered on the ground in front of the ethereal flower garden, knelt down and waited quietly.

The buzzing gradually grew louder and closer.

Wei Tao returned from the stream and stood in front of a group of sandflies, looking up towards the sky.

He concentrated his eyes and observed carefully. After a moment, he secretly sighed, "There are two Spirit Butterfly Messengers. They are clearly a fully loaded flying formation."

The spirit butterfly flew extremely fast and soon arrived above the dense forest.

They hovered in the void at this moment, then nimbly passed through numerous obstacles and landed silently in the flower garden.

The leading spirit butterfly walked towards Wei Tao, while the rest of the spirit butterflies were wearing armor and holding sharp blades. They quickly occupied a favorable position and vaguely surrounded all the sandflies.

Wei Tao quietly looked at the approaching Lingdie, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

it……

Or should I say her.

She was not the butterfly he imagined.

Instead, she looks more like a delicate and slender beautiful girl, but with a pair of translucent wings on her back.

Compared to the other spiritual butterflies guarding her surroundings, she was almost completely out of the category of insectoid creatures.

Except for the slender tentacles on the top of her head and the transparent wings behind her, she looks no different from a human girl.

Lingdie walked smoothly, wearing only a gauze skirt, which revealed her slender and slender figure.

She stopped a few steps away, raised her fair and delicate arm, which was no different from a human being, and gently pointed at Wei Tao who was standing there.

The two looked at each other, their eyes touched in vain, and then they converged and separated.

Spirit Butterfly was silent for a moment, with a puzzled expression on her soft human face.

"I remember that the surrounding gardens were taken care of by mantises. Why do you feel that you look a little different, bigger than the average mantis?"

"Forget it, hurry up and hand over the ethereal flowers you picked. I have a lot of things to do and I don't have time to delay here."

When she spoke, she sounded like the strings of a piano being plucked, with a crisp and moving sound.

Wei Tao looked at her elf-like slender body and sensed the faint spiritual energy surrounding her. He turned back and motioned to Xie Xie to open the secret vault and place all the packaged ethereal flowers in order.

Spirit Butterfly took a few steps forward and was about to start counting, when a shadow appeared in front of him without any warning.

The surrounding guards suddenly became nervous and quickly drew their weapons to surround him.

But she had an unconcerned expression, just looking at Wei Tao who was suddenly approaching, with even a faint smile on her face.

"It's interesting. As a member of the Dao Mantis clan, you are able to be so fast, which is a bit beyond my expectation."

"Huh? What is that thing you are holding in your hand? It looks very delicate."

Wei Tao took a deep breath and lowered his voice, "Your Majesty, this is a little thought specially prepared for you. I hope you like it."

He handed over the gift box quietly.

But she didn't reach out to pick it up.

The white face was full of confusion and confusion, as if he didn't understand what he was saying or what it meant.

Wei Tao waited in silence for a moment, and found that the development of things seemed a bit strange, not at all what he had imagined.

Shouldn't he have given out the bribe without any fireworks, and the other party would have kept it secretly without knowing it, and then everyone would have shared a little secret, so they would have turned a blind eye and handled the next thing?

But what is the situation now?

Whether she wants it or not, she should reply first anyway.

There was another unspeakable silence.

Lingdie finally said, "You, what do you mean?"

Wei Tao smiled and lowered his voice, "It's hard work for the envoy to come and go. A small gift is not a sign of respect. Please accept it with a smile."

"A gift, a gift just for myself?"

Her eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe her ears, "Everything here is under the control of the mistress and the common property of the Spirit Butterfly tribe. Now you want to give me a gift alone. What on earth do you want to do!?"
