Chapter 9 Azure Dragon and White Tiger

The off-road vehicle was walking slowly. Bai Mo used his extraordinary eyesight to look around, trying to find some clues, but the dense forest obviously seriously obstructed his sight.

Although after a round of body modification, the use time of the clairvoyant eye has been greatly extended, it is still far from being able to be used as desired, because the use of the ability comes at the cost of stamina.

The consequences of wasting energy in potentially dangerous places can be imagined, so Bai Mo could only choose to conduct detailed scans in places where he felt there might be problems but could not see them because his line of sight was blocked.

Sure enough, he soon noticed something strange. It was so quiet along the way, and the entire forest seemed to be asleep.

In Bai Mo's perception, he found that some of the animals he could observe were hiding in tree holes, and some were digging holes underground. Even the few animals that had not entered the holes were hiding, even among the thick dead branches. There are small animals nesting under the leaves, and without exception they all fall into a deep sleep.

Herbivorous animals are often surrounded by a lot of plants, while carnivorous animals are often surrounded by several carcasses of other animals, with some signs of being chewed on the carcasses, making them look incomplete.

Apparently there had been a pretty brutal fight before. Based on the number of observed corpses and the proportion of carnivorous animals in the forest ecosystem, Bai Mo estimated that there were between a quarter and a third of the animals missing in the forest.

It seems that I chose a good time to set off. I chose it after this bloody battle. If I had rushed to the volcano as soon as I arrived in Hawaii, I would have encountered much greater trouble. "

While he was thinking, he controlled the speed and direction of the car, making the car slowly move towards the destination along the lane that seemed to cut through the forest.

But even though such a weird thing happened, it didn't make him give up the idea of ​​going to the foot of the volcano.

Because according to his estimation, as his "cultivation level" increases, the demand for spiritual stones is likely to increase, and the spiritual stones on hand are estimated to only be enough for less than a month.

In order to continue his dream of pursuing extraordinary power, he wanted to go to the volcano no matter what, and he was already prepared to overcome obstacles.

Following the instructions of the GPS, Bai Mo stopped the car again about one kilometer away from the volcano, and opened the car window to feel the concentration of spiritual energy in the air.

He could roughly judge from his feelings that the concentration of spiritual energy here had reached 60 to 70% of his daily Qi training.

After being exposed to such a high concentration of spiritual energy, he habitually took a deep breath. Even now that he no longer relied solely on mouth and nose breathing, some instincts still could not be changed.

Bai Mo, who was bathing in the ocean of spiritual energy, felt that every cell in his body was cheering, and a satisfied smile naturally appeared on his face. But Bai Mo soon regained control of his emotions and continued to drive forward.

After regaining his composure, he began to think about his situation again. In the more than two months since he started practicing, he probably thought about his situation more times than he had in the previous twenty years combined.

In his previous life, he had an indifferent attitude towards many things except studying and reading novels, and he dealt with them casually.

Eating is just fine; dressing is just enough to go out without being noticed; socializing is basically zero.

Since his parents passed away, he has become obsessed with various online novels. His daily life outside of textbooks is novels.

For him, the wonderful structure behind the hidden world revealed by the knowledge in books is as fascinating as the complicated world in novels.

All of this allowed him to devote most of his energy to the world of his own thinking, rather than the boring reality.

But everything changed with his discovery of the use of spiritual stones, and everything that once existed only in fantasy began to surface.

This feeling of being burdened with a big secret but unable to confide it to anyone put tremendous pressure on Bai Mo, forcing him to focus on himself and to think about himself three times every day to keep it secret. , consider for evolution, consider for survival.

If nothing unexpected happens, if this disguised life continues for a few more years, Bai Mo will at least suffer from schizophrenia, and may even suffer a direct mental breakdown.

As a person who has never experienced relevant training, the pressure on him is greater than that of a spy lurking in a foreign country or in a war zone behind enemy lines. The spy at least has one contact to contact (although he may not be able to trust it), but he does not The only way to tell the truth to anyone is to keep wearing a mask and act, and slowly advance towards the distant goal of wiping out the enemy's country.

Therefore, in the no-man's land at the foot of the volcano, which is full of aura, Bai Mo's spirit can be relatively relaxed, because at least he doesn't have to wear a mask all day long and pretend to be an ordinary person.

"Just walk a few hundred meters ahead and you'll reach the foot of the volcano. The concentration of spiritual energy here is already the same as when I practice. If these spiritual energy are heated by spiritual stones and then released, the spiritual stones hidden under the volcano will be astronomical. Numbers are enough to form such a huge aura field.”

"Although such a huge aura field is almost invisible, the changes in the forest cannot be hidden for long, and the excessive quietness is also noticeable."

"In a few days at most, the strange phenomenon in the forest will be exposed to the world, and the American authorities will also send people to investigate. With their professional quality, if they follow the clues along the way, the truth will be revealed within a week. It is impossible to say whether the spiritual stone is Existence will also be discovered.”

"As a tourist, I can stay safe as long as I stay as far away from the center of the vortex as possible. Now I have to grab the last one before I'm exposed. It will be difficult to come back here after the official intervention. I can't bet on the possibility of spiritual stones in other places. sex."

After completing the plan, Bai Mo walked along the crater where he felt the concentration of spiritual energy was highest.

Obviously this volcano is not a tourist area, so there are neither stairs to go up the mountain nor iron ropes to ensure safety. Lacking mountaineering equipment, he can only use his physique far beyond ordinary people to forcefully climb up the mountain.

As Bai Mo went up the mountain, he used his ability to observe the monsters nesting in the cave. Perhaps because of the higher concentration of spiritual energy, they have basically woken up from their slumber.

But fortunately, it may be that the beasts all knew that there were not many days left to enjoy this high concentration of spiritual energy without being disturbed, so they all stayed in their holes and were too lazy to move, which did not bring much hindrance to him.

The further he walked up the mountain, the more frightened he became, because the animals entrenched on the road became more powerful, and the entire mountain peak was like a pyramid of strong men. After reaching the middle of the mountain, the evolved beasts had given him a somewhat dangerous aura, but fortunately they all stayed in the dug holes to enjoy the baptism of spiritual energy.

As a mutated creature that was more powerful than themselves in their eyes, Bai Mo did not encounter any resistance even when he reached the middle of the mountain.

These animals, which have become much more spiritual under the guidance of spiritual energy, have also gained preliminary abilities of perception. They can feel that the "beasts" passing by are not easy to deal with, and fighting is meaningless except affecting the absorption of spiritual energy.

In this way, he climbed to the top of the mountain step by step with the beasts watching.

As soon as he reached the top, Bai Mo felt a frightened feeling, so he quickly scanned the area with his eyes and found that the aura that frightened him belonged to two owners - a giant python and a tiger-like cat. animal.

"Are you going to evolve into a blue dragon and a white tiger?" He sneered, "Where are Suzaku and Xuanwu?"

It seems to be a little different from the python in my memory. This snake is full of colors, and it obviously evolved from a poisonous snake. The "white tiger" in Bai Mo's eyes is actually a cat with not very scientific wings. animal.

In order to reduce the possibility of them attacking him, he also released his aura with all his strength for the first time to create a three-party confrontation.

After Bai Mo no longer suppressed himself, both "Qinglong" and "White Tiger" acquiesced to the existence of this powerful person who was no less powerful than them in perception. The spiritual energy resources on the top of the mountain were sufficient, so there was no need to fight to the death.

With nearly five times the concentration of spiritual energy at the foot of the mountain, the quality of the spiritual stones here must be much higher than the samples the instructor randomly collected at the bottom of the mountain last time. So he quickly collected all the spiritual stones around him.

If it weren't for the fact that the backpack was already packed to the brim, Bai Mo probably wouldn't have stopped. Taking an extra hundred kilograms wouldn't be a big deal to him.

After completing the original main purpose of going up the mountain, he began to seize the time to absorb the spiritual energy. The concentration of spiritual energy on the top of the mountain was too high. Even if he heated the spiritual stones to practice daily, the concentration of spiritual energy he could get was only one-fifth of what it was here.

The two beasts were intoxicated in the feast of spiritual energy, but they were in a cave, while Bai Mo sat directly on the ground, and most of the day passed in a flash.

After absorbing high-concentration spiritual energy for most of the day, he had a mysterious and indescribable feeling, and his overall understanding of the world seemed to have deepened.

When using the omniscient eye to look inside himself, Bai Mo found that his perception accuracy had improved again, and he could already "see" some of the internal operations of cells.
