Vol 2 Chapter 12: Closure

The little black pig is like a black meat ball, tracing an embarrassing arc in the air, and quickly rushed to the frightened gray tumor mouse, and at the same time made several noises in mid-air that seemed to be complaining. The wailing sound.
In a blink of an eye, it flew in front of the gray tumor mouse. Although the gray tumor mouse is classified as a Tier 2 monster in terms of combat power, its brain is not very bright, and it is a bit dazed for a while, subconsciously sideways. He stretched out his claws to block the scratching, and at the same time used his most powerful attack mode, opened his big mouth again, and bit the black meat ball with those sharp fangs.
On the black meat ball, those strange gray armor slowly emerged again, covering the whole body of the little black pig. The gray tumor mouse bit down, and at the same time, the paws also caught the little black pig’s meat. However, it was extremely sharp in the past. The sharp claws turned out to be slippery at the moment, unable to break through the thick skin of this weird little black pig, and slid to the side feebly. As for the fangs and teeth that were bitten, it was almost the same result. For this tough pig There is no way for Pi.
The little black pig hummed twice. When he raised his foot, a pig's hoof hit the gray tumor mouse's face directly, centered on the nose, and the gray tumor mouse wailed, as if it had been hit in a critical position. He staggered, trembling slightly, and it seemed that the pain was not light.
The little black pig fell on the ground, his spirit was shocked, and Gu and Pan was full of spirits, with a great spirit of "this pig is invincible in this world". The tumor rat ran into it directly.
The gray tumor mouse was holding his nose and jumping his feet. It seemed that the pain was terrible. Without checking it for a while, the black pig hit one side of his stomach firmly, and only heard a low and dull sound. The huge body was actually Suddenly it was knocked into flight, and when it was in confusion in the air, it felt a sudden light in front of it, and even a heat wave rushed in and swallowed it whole.
This is the last point of consciousness of this gray tumor mouse in this world.
Shen Shi’s fireball technique accurately hit the gray tumor mouse’s head. With the cultivation blessing of Tianming Curse, the power of Shen Shi’s first-order magic technique can cause damage even to the monks in the Ning Yuan realm. Needless to say, this second-order monster beast, the result was just as he expected, the gray tumor rat that was hit by the critical head was killed by a single blow.
The big dog-like giant rat body fell heavily on the ground in front of it, and after rolling for two laps, it became stiff. The little black pig ran over and took a look, and kicked the monster with a pig's hoof to make sure that the enemy was dead. After it got through, he hummed twice like a demonstration, then happily ran back to Shen Shi's side, circled, and looked very excited and playful.
Shen Shi smiled slightly, and gently lowered his raised arm. He didn't use the talisman to activate the fireball technique just now, because there was a little black pig on his head, and he suddenly felt better than all the previous ones. The battle is so easy. Without having to consider his own safety, he feels too comfortable to cast the five-element spell. He simply uses his inner spiritual power to cast fireball, but the speed is still quite fast, probably from beginning to end. Less than three breaths time, it was already at the speed that Ning Yuan realm cultivators could reach.
One Talisman is one less, but the spiritual power in the body can be consumed but it can be recovered. On the premise of ensuring safety, save a little and save a little. After defeating this gray tumor mouse, Shen Shi was in a good mood, thinking that if he followed this method, I was afraid that he would be able to deal with most low-level monsters, but he just didn’t know what Xiao Hei’s pigskin was. How thick is it, what level of monster power can it resist?
Perhaps, Tier 2 monsters like Grey Tumor Rats are almost at their current limits, right? After all, one point further up is the Tier 3 monster. This is already a fierce monster that has a chance to condense the demon pill. Its strength is much stronger than that of the Tier 2 monster. It is almost equal to the Ning Yuan realm in the human monk.
Forget it, this kind of high-level monster beast should stay away for the time being, and when I return to the Lingxiaozong logistics and practice, one day break through to the Ningyuan realm, then it will naturally be a new world.
But at the moment there is still a problem that bothers him a bit. He lowered his body and hugged the little black pig. The little black pig affectionately stretched out his tongue and licked his palm, looking as if he was being held by the owner in a comfortable way. . Gently stroking the little black pig's body with his hand, with the palm of his hand passing over its smooth but tough skin, Shen Shi's brows were slightly frowned, and he whispered:
"Obviously it's not a monster race yet, how can there be such a talented supernatural power?"
※※※
After three years in the Demon Realm, Shen Shi had a deep and clear understanding of the demon clan that only existed in the rumors in the past, including some important matters such as the demon clan's own talents and magical powers and even bloodline changes. Among the monster races, except for the lineage of the demon emperor who is directly passed down from the descendants of the legendary Kaitian giant Pangu, most of the other demon races can find the bloodline of some monster beasts.
Of course, just as the ancient legend said that the human race was born of apes and monkeys, it is not a shame for the monster race to have the blood of the monster beast. Even the most proud talent of the monster race often comes from These mysterious and powerful monster bloodlines.
However, there is still a huge difference between the monster race and the monster beast. The most notable point is that those powerful talents and supernatural powers are derived from blood, and they are awakened by the breakthrough of cultivation, but only the monster race can have it. This has never been the case.
To give the simplest example, the stone pig and the little black pig have the same bloodline of the "stone skin pig", but the former became the monster race through the bloodline difference, and thus awakened a kind of talent "thick armor", which can be Formation of extremely tough leather armor throughout the body, forming a strong protection for the flesh, and ordinary swords are difficult to cause damage.
As for the ordinary Tier 1 monster stone skin pigs, it goes without saying that the newborn piglets are extremely fragile. When they become adults, stone skin pigs will naturally grow something similar to stone armor, and they can also protect themselves. It is somewhat similar to Shizhu's talent and supernatural powers, but that's all.
The stone-skin pig is still the prey of many powerful monsters in the Black Hell Mountains. Those leather armors can barely give this monster an extra layer of protection, but they are not particularly powerful, and the thick armor after the stone pig awakens is quite A powerful and practical talent that does not usually appear, but once it is used, it can withstand most attacks of the same level. Of course, the bloodline of Stoneskin Pig is not strong, so the talent of thick armor has certain limitations.
In other words, the current situation of the little black pig is obviously still a stone-skin pig, at least it looks like a stone-skin pig with a little bloodline, because in any case, the appearance of this little pig does not seem to change to become a demon. The direction of the family has the slightest sign of progress. It stands to reason that the little black pig should slowly grow those self-defense armor pieces, and it is impossible to have thick armor talents that are not usually visible but suddenly appear in battle. This has basically broken through those monsters and monsters. The boundaries of the beast.
But the fact is right in front of him. At this moment, the little black pig who is rubbing against him has recovered the harmless appearance of humans and animals, and there is no trace of nails on the smooth skin. Shen Shi stared at it for a long time, but still couldn't understand the truth. In the end, it could only be attributed to the cause of the little pig eating indiscriminately.
"What is the origin of those two beads? Why do they have such a weird reaction after eating them?" Shen Shi thought to himself, shook his head, thinking that this is the case anyway, so I will look at Little Black Pig. What will it look like?
Then, he walked to the gray tumor rat's corpse, and after examining it for a while, he didn't mean to do anything, but left with the little black pig directly. Although there are many monster beasts that have parts that can be used as spiritual materials, But there are also many monsters that don't have this purpose or the spiritual power contained in them is too small to be hunted by people. The gray tumor mouse is such a monster, so after Chen Shi glanced at it twice, he left straight away.
With Xiao Hei, Shen Shi continued to go deep into the dense reeds. According to legend, the treasure land around the huge Yinyue Lake is rich in various spirit grasses, but after all, it is in the wilderness. No matter how abundant it is, it can't be everywhere, even if the little black pig seems to be particularly sensitive to all kinds of spiritual plants, there are not many found along the way.
Walking along this road, seeing the sky and the sky, they have been walking in the reeds for more than an hour, and they have faintly heard the sound of some water waves, which proves that they have been quite deep into the boundary of Silver Moon Lake, maybe even already It's near the lakeside somewhere. But along the way, Shen Shi and the little black pig didn't have much harvest. They only found two spirit grasses, and the little black pig swiftly found them in some extremely hidden places.
Think about it, Yinyue Lake’s reputation for being rich in spirit grass has been circulating for a long time. I don’t know how many casual practitioners have been excavating and collecting herbs in this area every day. It is reasonable for ordinary spirit grasses in the periphery to be almost lighted. The center of Moon Lake is the best treasure, where the aura is more abundant, the spirit grass produced there are more, the grade is higher, and the value is naturally greater.
But what followed was that the monster beasts there seemed to be stronger. In the past, some news of wounding and death was caused by casual cultivators who went deep into the lake and died under the claws of those powerful monsters. .
Shen Shi stopped, and he hesitated for a while. He came here before, intending to take a look. If he is lucky, he would pick some spiritual grass and pass the last four days. He didn't intend to grow more branches. , Go deep into this lake. Right now, where I was, it seemed that it was already deep in the boundary of Silver Moon Lake. Should I just look back, or look forward?
Shen Shi pondered for a moment, and finally decided that stability should be the priority for everything at the moment, at least not before returning to the High Heaven Sect. So he greeted the little black pig, and planned to turn around and walk back.
It's just that sometimes, I don't want to look for things, but things will come to my door. In the depths of the reed in front, the direction of the faint rippling water of the lake suddenly sounded a sharp whistle. Following a riot, a group of waterbirds stunned the air, mixed with several angry shouts. It sounded like it came from different places at the same time.
At the same time, a sturdy voice rang out in front, echoing on the reeds, with a bit of sorrow, loudly:
"Dear fellow daoists, quickly avoid it, this place has been taken over by my ichthyosaur faction, and if there are any arrogant people, we can't blame us for being polite."
Shen Shi was stunned, and then remembered that this Yulong Sect was one of the first two small sects of cultivation in Broken Moon City that he had heard before. It was originally considered a tyrant here, but since it was backed by the Heavenly Sword. After the palace and other powerful backers of Xuanjian Gate came, the Yulong Sect's momentum was naturally not as good as before, and on weekdays, they could only live with their tails between them.
But I didn’t expect that I would encounter it here at Yinyue Lake today. I don’t know why this ichthyosaur faction made such a domineering move, but it was also because most of the people who came here were unrooted casual cultivators. The ichthyosaur faction will have no fear.
Shen Shi didn't want to be troublesome, not to mention that there was still a cultivation sect in front. Although it is said to be small, it is still much stronger than ordinary casual cultivation. After all, he is still a monk in the Qi Refining realm. Why bother to provoke such a powerful enemy. .
So although he was still a bit curious about what happened in front of him, in the end, Shen Shi turned around and prepared to avoid it.
Just at this moment, the little black pig at his feet suddenly raised his head, sniffed a few times in the air, and then seemed to be shocked for a moment, then opened his eyes instantly and suddenly screamed. He even started to dig the soil with his hoofs on the spot, staring at the front without blinking, ignored Shen Shi’s call for him to go, and looked so excited, even his body trembled slightly, as if it was about to be the next moment. Can't help but rush forward.
Shen Shi paused, stopped, and stared at the little black pig that was suddenly excited, with a strange look in his eyes.
