C18 Whose prey

"Run, run!" A cooked duck should have a death wish. Don't keep thinking about flying. "

The black bamboo swayed, and many leaves gently fell.

Xiao Zhuqing said excitedly as she put on her farmer's robe and stabbed a rabbit like beast onto the ground with a steel fork.

Not far away, Gu Hao leaned against a thick black bamboo, smiling as he watched Xiao Zhuqing hunt.

It had already been an entire three months since Gu Hao had escaped from the Wu's capital and was saved by old man Zhu Yuan in the Black Bamboo Forest.

In these three months, Gu Hao had recovered from his staggering steps before to being able to move freely.

It was just that the severe internal injuries from before had caused Gu Hao's current cultivation to drop quite a bit, and he had barely managed to retain his Earth Origin Stage.

However, this did not wear down Gu Hao's fighting spirit.

Ever since he found out from Cha Chaer that old fellow that there was a method to revive the dead in the Upper Realm, his heart was originally like a dying man's, and he now believed that he had to live on.

It was all because of his parents.

For this, not only must he live, he must also live better and stronger life.

That was because, as long as one was stronger and acquired the mystical arts, the chances of reviving their parents would be greater.

Moreover, there was also the extremely evil Emperor of Wu Wu Yi.

Gu Hao's eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of fierceness.

The reason why Gu Hao had been reduced to such a state was all because of Wu Yi. Gu Hao would definitely kill this person in the future.

In the three months he had been in the Black Bamboo Forest, Gu Hao had not only trained diligently every day, he had also helped Elder Zhu Yuan to do some things that were within his capabilities.

For example, what Gu Hao was doing now, hunting.

The Black Bamboo Forest was extremely vast, nearly covering half of the entire Qingfeng Mountain range. There were also many types of demonic beasts, some strong and some weak.

Previously, because Old Man Zhu Yuan was old and weak, while Zhu Qing was still young, he could only rely on digging bamboo shoots and catching birds to survive.

Now, with Gu Hao, he could naturally do even more.

Although Gu Hao was secretly injured and his cultivation had dropped, making him unable to hunt those strong demon beasts, he could still be easily captured by these weak young demon beasts.

As a result, ever since Gu Hao had recovered from his injuries, he would enter deep into the Black Bamboo Forest every few days to set up traps and hunt weak beasts.

He saw that the rabbit shaped demon beast had been stabbed by the steel fork and had fallen into a pool of blood, dying on the spot. Only then did Zhu Qing keep his steel trident, walked forward, grabbed the demonic beast's rear hooves, and pulled it back.

Xiao Zhuqing had already done this kind of thing for more than a month, and was already familiar with it.

Roughly two months ago, Xiao Zhuqing suddenly pestered Gu Hao, begging him to teach her some immortal arts, and that she could cultivate.

Gu Hao had reached the Supreme Realm before, so he immediately rejected Xiao Zhuqing at that time.

However, Xiao Zhuqing seemed to have steeled her heart, and from then on, she wrapped herself around Gu Hao, and served him tea, unwilling to let him go.

The helpless Gu Hao thought that he would have to leave this place in the end. Giving Zhu Qing the cultivation method would be beneficial to Zhu Yuan and the others when he leaves in the future. So in the end, he still agreed to Zhu Qing's request and passed down the cultivation method to her.

However, this was not accepting a disciple, but repaying the debt of gratitude.

Therefore, in order to train Xiao Zhuqing, every time Gu Hao came to hunt, he would bring him along. And whenever there was a relatively weak demon beast, Gu Hao would always let Xiao Zhuqing make the first move.

Just that, the Goblin Beast had already fallen into the trap, who would have thought that when Zhu Qing walked over and prepared to hide the result, it would suddenly jump out, quickly entering into the bamboo forest, wanting to escape.

Fortunately, although Zhu Qing had been cultivating with Gu Hao for a short time, hunting for the past two months had allowed him to take care of this matter easily. Seeing that the cooked duck was going to fly, Zhu Qing reacted immediately. With two strides, he chased after it, wielding the steel trident in his hand and stabbed the demon beast to death.

"Big Brother, it's done!"

Zhu Qing pulled the Goblin Beast, walking back to Gu Hao's side, his head full of sweat as he looked at Gu Hao, and asked excitedly.

"Yes." "Put it aside and continue your training."

Gu Hao slightly nodded and said to Zhu Qing.

"Yes sir!"

Xiao Zhuqing immediately put down the Goblin Beast, threw the steel fork aside and walked to the side of the empty ground. She raised the huge boulder above her head and took a horse stance.

"Don't shake your legs, lower your waist, raise your head and raise your arms."

Looking at the swaying Zhu Qing, Gu Hao shouted.

"The path of cultivation begins with body transformation." After that, it was divided into Yin and Yang, transformed into two parts, became a supreme expert, and built an immortal foundation. You can't even persist in such a mere body transformation exercise, so what kind of nonsense are you talking about? "

Cultivating meant training one's body first.

Because for future cultivation, whether it was splitting the Yin and Yang element into two parts, creating an elder, building the celestial foundation, and so on, they all had to rely on the body as the foundation.

It's like the body is a container. You have to make it bigger and firmer so that it can contain more and more things later on.

Furthermore, the human body was the most mysterious thing in the world.

Although Gu Hao did not hope for him to reach Foundation Establishment, he expected him to at least reach the Sky Origin Stage Realm and become a Sky Origin Stage cultivator.

After all, only by becoming a Sky Origin Stage cultivator would one have the most basic ability to protect themselves in this cruel cultivation world.

Gu Hao did not wish for his first disciple to not even have the ability to protect himself in the end.

Although Gu Hao had said this before, it was only to enlighten and not to accept disciples.

However, from the most basic point of view, regardless of whether Gu Hao admitted it or not, Zhu Qing could already be considered Gu Hao's disciple.

Therefore, Gu Hao naturally, had to be serious and strict in teaching them.

However, Zhu Qing was still too young, and had never been in contact with cultivation before, so this sudden cultivation was a little unbearable.

It was just that this child had that kind of stubbornness. Over the past month, he had endured the harsh body tempering methods that Gu Hao had ordered for him.

"Yes." "If you can hold on for half a second longer, today's physical training will be over."

Gu Hao looked at Zhu Qing who had raised his head and kept both of his hands, and nodded his head with satisfaction, and said with a smile.

"Tonight, don't forget to cultivate the breathing technique I taught you twice before you went to sleep."

With that said, Gu Hao closed his eyes and started to cultivate.

Gu Hao was currently training two main skills.

The first was the "Illusory Sea Sand Tactic". This method of cultivating a spirit soul was extremely rare in the entire Scorching Sun Continent. Even Gu Hao who was previously at the peak of the Supreme Realm had never cultivated such a technique. Therefore, when Cha Chaer passed it down to Gu Hao, he was a little agitated.

The [Illusory Sea Shoving Art] was divided into three volumes, upper, middle and lower, while the first volume, which was the most basic, was in Gu Hao's hands.

Although the first volume was a basic technique, it was also divided into three realms.

The first realm, the Condensing Reality Realm. It was the initial formation and solidification of the Spiritual Awareness. This was a realm that was necessary for all techniques to cultivate the Spiritual Awareness Soul. Right now, Gu Hao was in the [Congealing] realm.

The second realm, the Spirit Tempering realm. He needed to use his own elemental energy to refine his spiritual consciousness to the point where it would grow stronger.

When one's Spiritual Awareness reached a certain level of strength, they could step into the third realm, the illusion realm. Just as the name implied, he would form his own consciousness with his own illusions and form his own illusions. Simply put, it was to be able to cause the consciousness of others to sink into the illusion created by their consciousness, causing them to be absent-minded. In a battle, this was definitely a supportive divine tool.

At the same time, it was also the only offensive technique in the first volume of the Illusory Sea Sand Tactic.

The second technique that Gu Hao cultivated was obtained by chance before he stepped into the Supreme Realm. Similarly, it was not an offensive technique, but a nameless technique that forcefully absorbed the natural elemental energy of the world.

Gu Hao called it Na Yuan technique.

The Na Yuan technique was not as complicated as the « Illusory Sea Sandstorm Art ». It only had a simple section of a cultivation technique. But, when Gu Hao truly went to cultivate, he realized that the Na Yuan technique could actually increase along with the cultivation of the cultivator, and could even forcibly absorb the amount of spirit force in the world.

Back then, Gu Hao relied on the Na Yuan technique to quickly increase his cultivation and become a Venerable Genius. Now that his cultivation had declined and he needed to cultivate anew, Gu Hao naturally chose the Na Yuan technique first.

Because he had the Na Yuan technique, his Origin Energy, which could only support Gu Hao's cultivation of two cycles, increased by three cycles.

"Hu!"

One hour later, Gu Hao stopped his cultivation. After being cleansed by the three cycles of the "Illusory Sea Shredding Technique", Gu Hao could clearly feel that his spirit sense had become much stronger. This was undoubtedly Gu Hao's most powerful trump card in the coming battles.

Spiritual consciousness was formless, but it could kill.

"Alright, the training is over. Let's go back."

Gu Hao stood up, picked up the steel fork, and called for Xiao Zhuqing.

The current Xiao Zhuqing was drenched in sweat and her entire body was trembling uncontrollably. However, the stubborn him continued to grit her teeth and persevere. Even though his face had gone from red to a bit pale, he did not give up.

It was only when he heard Gu Hao's words that he heaved a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, he suddenly relaxed, causing his entire body to collapse onto the ground.

"Qi will sink into the Dantian, form a spell with will, draw the Yuan Qi into the body, and nourish the bones."

Gu Hao tied up his beasts and asked Xiao Zhuqing who was behind him.

"Yes sir!"

Xiao Zhuqing nodded her head, she quickly sat cross legged on the ground and started absorbing. His normally calm dantian suddenly moved and began to receive the natural elemental energy that came from outside his body.

When the spirit energy entered his body, Xiao Zhuqing's face gradually turned red. After recovering some of his strength, he got up from the ground and said with excitement: "Big brother, I can absorb the spirit energy of heaven and earth!"

Gu Hao laughed, but just as he was about to speak, his eyes suddenly focused, and he looked behind Zhu Qing.

"Whiz!"

Suddenly, a demonic beast that was much bigger than Zhu Qing came out from the forest and pounced towards him.

"Be careful!"

As Gu Hao warned him, he decisively rushed out. Grabbing the steel trident with his right hand, he decisively rushed out. When he approached Zhu Qing, he stabbed at the demon beasts in the air without hesitation.

"Roar!"

The Spirit Demon beast's body that was pouncing down from the sky, suddenly twisted, dodging the steel trident, falling to the side, it roared at Gu Hao.

"Big brother …"

Xiao Zhuqing, still in a panicked state, hid behind Gu Hao and shouted softly.

"Don't be afraid."

Gu Hao touched Xiao Zhuqing and comforted him, but her eyes were still staring at the Spirit Demon beast in front of him, revealing a fierce look.

It was a tiger-shaped demon beast. Its body was huge and its strong and powerful four limbs drew many claw marks on the ground. It seemed to be injured, and left a trail of blood on the ground. It opened its mouth towards Gu Hao, revealing its fangs, it roared ferociously.

However, Gu Hao's gaze, at the first moment, stopped on the head of the demonic beast.

Over there, there was a sparkling and translucent three-finger-long horn facing the sky.

"Tremella?"

Gu Hao was ecstatic, and called out the beast's name.

Tremella was a rare demonic beast that could cultivate on its own. Every adult Tremella was twice as big as an adult, and its strength was not the slightest bit weaker than a Sky Origin Stage cultivator. Even a young Tremella like this one had strength comparable to Earth Elemental Cultivator.

More importantly, the Tremella was born to absorb the natural force of heaven and earth and to cultivate, so its entire body was filled with treasures. Especially the crystal horn on its head. Ever since the Tremella was born, it had been helping the Crystal Horned Beast store natural elemental energy. It was a natural magical equipment.

Gu Hao had a lot of magic items before, but after going through tribulation and going to prison, they were all useless. The current Gu Hao could be considered clean and simple, so poor that he did not even have a proper weapon.

The crystal horn of this Tremella was definitely a pretty good weapon after being forged.

Normally, Gu Hao wouldn't provoke Tremella, but this Tremella was clearly injured and blood was still dripping from its stomach. The more ferociously it roared, the more it proved that its injuries were serious, and it wanted to scare Gu Hao off.

Since that was the case, how could Gu Hao let go of such an excellent opportunity?

Thinking about that, Gu Hao made Zhu Qing retreat. With a shake of the trident, he stabbed it towards the Tremella.

"Roar!"

The Tremella seemed to realize that its threat had failed, it roared, then turned and ran.

Seeing that, Gu Hao was overjoyed. If this Tremella risked its life to counterattack, to the current Gu Hao, it would probably be a troublesome matter. However, it turned and ran without the slightest intention of fighting.

"It seems like your injuries are severe!"

Gu Hao said, at the same time he accelerated his footsteps, approaching the Tremella, the elemental energy in his body converging on the steel trident, and then throwing forcefully at it.

Because the Tremella was taller than Gu Hao when it ran. So...

"Woosh ~ ~ ~"

Puff!

The steel fork that was thrown out accurately stabbed into the middle of the Crystal Horned Beast's butt, instantly piercing through the chrysanthemum flower and causing the Tremella to fall onto the ground.

Even Gu Hao could not help but blush, and laughed awkwardly. He landed beside the Tremella and extended his hand to pull out the steel fork.

Suddenly, an arrow was shot.

Whoosh —

Gu Hao was shocked, he immediately retreated, dodging the arrow, his eyes focused as he looked into the depths of the bamboo forest.

From there, two tall and sturdy figures slowly walked out.

"Don't touch my prey, boy!"
