Chapter 67: Lighter
The streets, which were originally orderly and flowing peacefully, came to a brief standstill.
The scorching heat could not stop the desire to watch the excitement.
Many people ran out from the shade.
Lu Yuan was also startled and walked a few steps forward along the flow of people.
Like many people, they all looked hard in the direction of the loud noise.
Lu Yuan kept changing his position to avoid the obstruction of the tall buildings in front of him.
Faintly, he seemed to see smoke floating in the direction of the south of the city.
Under the blazing white sky, he was not sure whether it was smoke.
"South of the city..."
What is in the south of the city?
There is a large industrial park in the south of the city, and...
Lu Yuan's eyes fluctuated.
Mosa?
At this time, Lu Yuan saw many scattered black spots in the sky floating towards this side quickly.
He put his hand on his forehead, squinted his eyes, and kept staring at the black spots.
The black spots were getting closer and closer to him, revealing the outline of birds.
Lu Yuan finally saw it clearly.
It was a group of crows.
So many crows.......
.........
Twenty minutes later, Lu Yuan sat at the desk in his bedroom and kept scrolling through his phone.
The truth about the loud noise before seemed to have been dug out by a group of people who were just watching the show.
"A chemical plant in the south of the city caught fire and exploded..."
It was spread with details.
He even found a video recorded by an eyewitness at the time of the incident on the largest gossip forum in Jiaoyan City.
The angle of the video recording was on the third floor of a room.
Through the window, you can see that there are billowing black smoke everywhere in the distance in the picture, and you can even clearly see the magma-colored flames under the black smoke.
The video publisher posted a message below, saying that he was an employee of the factory next door and was resting in the dormitory at the time.
The explosion happened without warning and shattered the glass in an instant.
And...
"Crows! There were so many crows in the sky at that time, jumping around everywhere, and many were burned to death by the fire.
Some even rushed into my room..."
As if he was afraid that others would not believe it, this person posted another video immediately afterwards.
This video camera zoomed in many times, and you can indeed see black birds running around in the black smoke.
There was also a bird with fire all over its body that almost jumped onto the phone camera.
The cameraman was startled and exclaimed "Fuck!"
[Crows are carrion eaters and specialize in burrowing into piles of dead bodies. How can there be so many crows in a chemical plant...]
[Is it possible that all the crows around gathered here because they knew that many people would die soon? ]
[Fuck! Don't say it, buddy, the more you talk, the more weird it gets! ]
[You're right, there is a rumor among the older generation that crows can foreshadow death...]
Lu Yuan scrolled down dozens of comments and saw with his own eyes that this post was quickly promoted dozens of times.
The discussion direction of the comments was also getting more and more biased, gradually moving from eating melons to the direction of folk weirdness.
Lu Yuan shook his head and quit the forum.
Although the netizens' chat was unreliable, Lu Yuan actually felt that this was not a normal explosion.
There was one thing that people on the Internet said was right.
There was no reason for so many crows to gather in the south of the city at once. No matter how you look at it, you feel that this matter has an unusual meaning.
Lu Yuan casually took out the "Exploring the Middle Ages" series of books at hand, wanting to flip through them to see if there were any ancient god legends related to crows.
He flipped through two pages but closed it a little irritably.
Since learning about the existence of the extraordinary, Lu Yuan subconsciously attributed any strange things he encountered in the real world to the extraordinary.
But this made him feel powerless all the time.
"Even if I guessed it and found the truth, what would it matter? I can't get involved and can't do anything..."
Lu Yuan picked up his phone and hesitated for a while on the contact information of Lin Zhiqin and Ge Wenjun, and finally gave up.
"What's there to ask? You won't get anything out of it..."
He let out a sigh of frustration and stood up from the desk.
He took the cat-eye camera he had just bought and hurried out and went downstairs.
.........
"Buzz buzz buzz——"
"Buzz buzz buzz——"
The phone on the desk kept vibrating, quietly breaking the silence in the room.
The boy stood on the mat with one leg spread out like a crane, with his eyes closed, motionless, breathing slowly and long.
It seemed that he didn't hear the reminder of the phone's vibration at all.
Half a minute later, the phone on the table stopped vibrating.
The small room returned to calm again.
And then, after an unknown amount of time, the speed of air flow in the room seemed to speed up a little.
Accompanied by a sound of inhalation like a whale sucking water.
"Crackle crackle——"
The boy standing still opened his eyes, and his strong body made a series of crisp explosions.
At the same time, sweat was pouring down his body, as if all the products of the stuffiness in the past few hours were excreted in one breath.
The mat under his feet was quickly wet.
The boy's body shape seemed to have changed after he returned to normal.
"Pah-pah--"
Lu Yuan walked barefoot to the dressing mirror in the room, ignoring the sweat dripping from his body.
He looked at himself in the mirror.
The boy in the mirror is "beautiful".
He is about 1.8 meters tall and has clear and handsome features.
The muscle lines on his body are clear and smooth, as well-proportioned and beautiful as a nude sculpture in an art gallery.
"I finally got my shape back."
Lu Yuan exhaled a sigh of relief, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Just now, he finally broke through the crane-shaped pile to level 3.
The progress was two days slower than Lu Yuan expected.
Maybe he has almost mastered the crane-shaped pile trick he learned from Lin Zhiqin.
Based on his current understanding of the crane-shaped pile, the experience points increase more slowly the further you go.
The progress that was originally expected to take one day was delayed to three days.
"Either Lin Zhiqin is hiding something.
Either...that is, the crane-shaped pile practice in the future may really have to rely on external assistance. "
Lu Yuan remembered that Lin Zhiqin had mentioned to him once before that it was difficult for even formal disciples of the Crane-Shaped Zhuan to inherit the following six movements.
Except that the difficulty of the next six movements increases sharply and is not something that ordinary people can complete.
Another important reason is that it must be paired with the special secret medicine of the martial arts school to assist in practice.
"Lin Zhiqin's line cannot be broken even if he wants to..."
Lu Yuan thought, casually clicking on his property panel to view it.
[Name: Lu Yuan]
【Age: 17】
【Strength: 13】
[Agility: 12]
[Physique: 12]
[Intelligence: 12]
.......
Crane-shaped pile lv2 broke through lv3, which directly increased his agility and physical fitness.
In terms of physical fitness, it's okay, after all, I can feel some progress every day.
The effect of agility improvement is really obvious.
"My whole body has become lighter again."
Lu Yuan tried to jump up on the spot, and easily crossed the height of the desk and went up a lot.
This "lightness" does not mean that he has lost weight.
It's a feeling of "lightening", or in other words, becoming relaxed.
"It's just like what is written in martial arts novels. A fat man weighing two to three hundred pounds may be a light kung fu master who is as light as a swallow walking on the snow without a trace!"
Lu Yuan couldn't figure out the principle.
Because speed actually has a lot to do with the explosive power of the calf.
The explosive power of the calf is linked to the strength attribute.
"The agility improves the coordination of my whole body muscles and reduces..."
Lu Yuan punched forward suddenly.
"call--"
"Wind resistance?!"
