Hidden Corners

Located on a rocky beach on the edge of a creek.

The leaves blocked the sunlight, and the two squirrels quickly ran to the stream.

"Xiao Hui, what are you doing here?" Huang Mao A Shou couldn't understand. He felt that Xiao Hui had changed and became neurotic, always saying things he couldn't understand.

"Looking for something." Li Chengyi replied casually.

"What are you looking for?" Ah Shou asked.

"A plant with triangular leaves." Li Chengyi said.

"What is a triangle?"

"It's the same shape as your head."

"What does shape mean?"

"." Li Chengyi was too lazy to pay attention to him, but glanced left and right, observing by the stream.

He has already analyzed the preliminary strengthening materials for eternal vitality. According to his body at this time, Forbidden Knowledge quickly found three herbs that could be mixed to produce initial strengthening.

Herbal medicines are combined with special self-exercises to activate their effects, and then additional medicines are taken at critical times, and finally combined with stimulation of consciousness.

Only through multiple combinations can the first round of strengthening of eternal vitality be truly launched.

This process is very complicated, and it is not easy to artificially recreate one of the countless coincidences inside the original bull.

But now, after confirming that his body had disappeared inexplicably and that only his consciousness existed in this body, Li Chengyi knew that he had no choice.

The pulling at the dead end was probably simply pulling out his consciousness and pouring it into the squirrel.

Soon he found the first herb he needed.

Li Chengyi ran over and gently picked a piece of it, and then started looking around for the second one.

hiss.

Suddenly a deep laughter came from the side.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, look who this is?"

A fox with light red fur slowly walked out of the grass with narrowed eyes.

"Isn't this the little ash we fell from the tree before?" The fox stared at Li Chengyi with a smile, saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth unconsciously.

It can be seen that it is very hungry.

"The fox is so red!!" The squirrel Ah Shao was so frightened that his hair stood on end. He turned around and ran away. He quickly jumped to a nearby tree and got into a branch.

Li Chengyi glanced at the approaching fox on the other side. The fox's eyes were fixed on him, obviously targeting him who was closer.

The opponent's huge size is an overwhelming advantage to him now.

But it doesn’t matter, it only takes a moment to win or lose.

"You shouldn't disturb me at this time." Li Chengyi was not interested in chatting with these animals whose IQs were insufficient.

He approached the other party step by step.

"You're really out of your mind?" The fox looked at the other person approaching him in surprise. Normally, the two squirrels would just turn around and run away.

This time actually

call!

Suddenly a gray shadow flashed, and the fox suddenly lost sight of the other party.

It thought the opponent was running away, and was about to move its eyes to catch up, when suddenly a sharp pain struck from its abdomen.

With a shrill scream, the fox rolled to the ground, its stomach was sliced ​​open, and blood spilled on the ground.

"I have claws and teeth, and I move quickly and unstoppably. Why can't I be considered a beast?" Li Chengyi said casually.

Without looking at the fox who was lying on the ground and howling, he walked around him and walked in the other direction.

When the cheetahs and several mink creatures peeping in the dark saw this scene, their hair stood on end and they retreated away from Li Chengyi.

Not long after, after wandering around the surrounding area for more than ten minutes, three different types of flowers and plants were carefully placed in front of him.

On the stone the size of a basin, there is still a faint trace of dew on the leaves of three kinds of herbs.

In the dense forest, on the rocks, all eyes were focused on Li Chengyi, watching the sudden change of the gray squirrel.

Click.

Li Chengyi grabbed three herbs and stuffed them into his mouth. He chewed the herbs carefully and swallowed them as if he were tasting fine food.

Then simulate the corresponding emotional state fluctuations in your mind.

The digestive stimulation of herbs requires a little strengthening peak at the right time and in the right state.

Just as he was carefully adjusting his state, two small green snakes wrapped around the branches of a tree not far away were communicating quietly and covertly.

"What do you think happened to Xiao Hui? Did he eat something fed by the previous human and became stupid?"

"I don't know, but that human being should be arriving soon. Maybe we'll know why soon."

The two snakes murmured, looking at Li Chengyi for a while, and then looking at a vague forest path in the distance.

It was a man who often came to the forest to practice and exercise, and trampled on the leftovers.

Time passes slowly.

Not long after, Li Chengyi finally came back from his trance.

He turned around, and his keen perception signal was amplified countless times by the huge consciousness, and any detailed information was captured and analyzed by it.

somebody is coming.

He instantly determined the source, direction, and maker of the subtle sound.

In the simple memory of this squirrel named Xiao Hui, there remains a man named Kui.

He was a strong man who liked to carry a backpack and go to the mountains and forests alone to exercise.

And on the third day of every week, he would come here alone to practice all day alone.

Because only Xiao Hui accompanied him before, so every time he would bring some food to the squirrel.

After meeting each other many times, the two quietly formed a tacit understanding.

Thinking of this, Li Chengyi felt the trickle of water flowing out of his body. The warm current had begun to slowly transform his body.

This represents the first strengthening of eternal vitality, which is successful.

After mastering the forbidden knowledge, Eternal Vitality can be strengthened very quickly. It can be said that as long as it is coordinated properly, it can be successful.

This is the power of forbidden knowledge.

And because it can only be enjoyed by one person, no matter how fast it is, it cannot be promoted and there is no need to worry about destroying the natural balance.

‘The strengthening needs to last for about three days, and there are no side effects. This is the first time. But after that, the next strengthening will be even greater. If the strength of my flesh and blood cannot keep up, it will be torn apart and exploded. This is when the real danger begins. It takes three consecutive reinforcements to condense the first flesh and blood vitality mark. ’

Li Chengyi mentally recalled the eternal vitality content he learned in the library.

He jumped up and jumped lightly onto the tree trunk, just like Xiao Hui before, waiting for the man's arrival.

Not long after.

Deep in the forest, a man with short black hair and an upper body shaped like an inverted triangle walked slowly.

The man has a strong and well-proportioned figure, his eyes are as bright as stars, and he wears two black metal armguards on both arms with black tiger patterns engraved on them.

In addition, the man was also carrying a denim backpack behind him, which was bulging and obviously contained a lot of things.

Looking at his attire, Li Chengyi quickly judged that human civilization in this world was obviously at a high level of modernization.

At least the simple T-shirt and jeans belt worn by men could not be made in ancient times.

He jumped back a few times and quickly returned to the oak tree where his tree hole was.

Standing on a horizontal tree branch, Li Chengyi looked down at the approaching man.

"Hi." The man threw his bag on the ground and raised his hand to wave to him.

"Go on." Then he took out a small thing from his trouser pocket and threw it forward.

Li Chengyi reached out to catch it accurately, and at first glance, it was a walnut the size of an egg.

"You're welcome, I left it for you." The man said calmly. After saying that, he ignored him, turned around, found an open space, and began to take off his shirt.

His exposed upper body was well-proportioned and full of muscles, and there were hideous scars on his bronzed back, showing that he had definitely experienced many battles.

After jumping around a few times, he started to warm up.

Small hops to the left and right, stretching the hands, shoulders, leg presses, push-ups, and one-handed pull-ups.

After all the warm-up exercises were completed, the man suddenly stood still.

call!

Suddenly he came out with the jab.

The fist seemed to disappear and was punched out very quickly, then retracted.

At this moment, Li Chengyi's originally calm eyes suddenly shrank.

He instantly judged that the speed of that punch had reached thirty meters per second.

What is this concept?

If normal humans were not genetically enhanced, during the Earth-Moon period, their maximum punch speed would only be fifteen meters per second.

And here.

If you meet a random person, you can actually reach thirty meters per second! ?

Thinking of this, Li Chengyi instantly understood that this world might not be as simple as he imagined.

Immediately afterwards, he began to focus on the man's practice.

A man's training is very simple. He just punches, dodges, and punches back and forth, sometimes mixed with leg strikes, sweeping whips, and kicks.

It looks simple.

Time passes little by little as you practice boxing.

Li Chengyi did not move, and kept standing on the branch of the tree watching the man practice boxing.

At some point, a gray furry claw came out from behind him.

Those are like cat's claws. He slapped Li Chengyi hard at a very fast speed.

It's a lynx! !

Li Chengyi came to his senses and it was too late to dodge.

But it doesn't matter.

From the beginning, he had no intention of dodge.

call!

Jumping up slightly, Li Chengyi turned around to face the claw that was very close at hand, and then stretched out his claw like lightning, touching the cat's claw.

A stream of blood flew out with a hiss, and the lynx screamed, retracted its claws, and almost rolled and fell off the tree branch.

Its right paw was already dripping with blood, and a ferocious bloody mouth more than ten centimeters long was cut out.

Li Chengyi landed lightly and turned to look at Shanmao.

"I just want to eat meat."

Stimulated by his eyes, the lynx roared angrily, leapt down from the tree, and pounced on Li Chengyi.

laugh!

There was a flash of blood.

The two pass by each other.

Under the man's shocked expression, Li Chengyi slowly retracted his paws and turned to look at the lynx.

At this time, there was a clear bloody hole in the lynx's throat.

puff.

The lynx fell to the ground dead, twitching all over and bleeding profusely.

The man looked at Li Chengyi blankly, and then at the lynx.

"You" he opened his mouth and said a series of jabbering words, which Li Chengyi couldn't understand at all.

But this does not prevent the two from communicating.

After the lynx episode, Li Chengyi returned to his seat, dragging the body of the dead lynx and quietly continuing to watch the man practice boxing.

The man also got used to the existence of a squirrel that could hunt bobcats. After being shocked, he continued to concentrate on practicing boxing.
