Chapter 235 Giant Snake Transforms Into Dragon
Everyone can learn martial arts.
But the aptitude varies. Some people can sense the blood after learning martial arts for a month, while others can't feel it after learning for several years.
Qi Cang, the leader of the local martial arts alliance, has extremely poor aptitude. He hasn't started learning martial arts until he was forty. If there is no great opportunity, it will be difficult for him to enter the door of martial arts in this life.
But he was lucky and worshipped the Changhe Sword Saint as his teacher.
The Sword Saint spent a lot of resources to send him into the martial arts path, and helped him break through the barrier of molting and become a top master!
In terms of aptitude, Qi Xiaoyu is much better than Qi Cang, and is considered to be of medium aptitude.
"Practice well, don't forget your roots, Qi Shopkeeper still expects you to support him in his old age."
Chu Liang smiled, turned around and left.
He returned to the courtyard of Qiu Dao Martial Arts Hall, put aside the treasure for the time being, opened the "Breath Containment Technique" obtained in the Refining Tendon Cave, and studied it seriously.
This "Breath Containment Technique" is of great use to him.
With Chu Liang's current talent and the effect of the hundred-year-old bodhi seeds, he learned this first-class secret technique in less than half a day.
"This kind of secret technique of concealing breath has always had a bad reputation in the world." Chu Liang thought to himself, "Martial artists who have learned this secret technique often steal and commit crimes, not only stealing property, but even using it to enter the boudoirs of decent women..."
In the more than two hundred years since the founding of Daliang, there have been many notorious thieves who have mastered the secret technique of concealing breath.
Chu Liang frowned slightly and said to himself, "I have always been open and aboveboard and upright. I learned this secret technique just to protect myself and will not commit crimes."
In the world of martial arts, there is a very classic saying - there is no distinction between good and evil in the law, but there is a difference between good and evil in people!
There is no distinction between good and evil in skills, martial arts, secret techniques, etc.
It is just that the people who use them have evil in their hearts, so some skills and martial arts will become magic skills and evil arts.
There are both refutations and supporters of this kind of statement.
Chu Liang was too lazy to think so much. As long as it was useful to him, it was good.
He stood in the yard, his mind moved, and his breath weakened rapidly. In the end, it was even weaker than that of ordinary people, like a rotten century-old wood.
"Not bad, it really works!"
Chu Liang was very satisfied. This breath-retaining technique combined with the Hundred Withered Wood made his breath almost disappear.
Even the two little mice could not sense his existence at a distance.
At night, the cool breeze was blowing.
Chu Liang put on a mask, changed into new clothes, and took the two little mice with him to leave the martial arts hall.
He held the Hundred Withered Wood in his hand, his figure was erratic, his breath was weak, like a wisp of soft wind, blending into the evening breeze, and quickly left the county.
No one knew he had left.
Even the warriors who were responsible for monitoring him did not notice.
During this period, more and more warriors were monitoring Chu Liang outside the martial arts hall, including those from the Four Lords Family and other forces in the city. This was also the reason why Chu Liang practiced the "Breath-Retaining Technique".
Without this secret technique, it would be troublesome for him to go out in the future.
"These people suspect that the treasure is with me, but what's the use of suspicion? No one can find it anyway!" Chu Liang looked relaxed and ran in the forest outside the county town.
Soon, Chu Liang entered the deep mountain area.
Swish!
He turned into a residual image, his speed increased dramatically, and he flew between the continuous mountains.
It was late at night, and the moonlight was like water above the mountains and forests.
After a long time, Chu Liang arrived at the lake where the two little mice had broken through and stopped by the lake.
The lake was quiet and calm, and the silver moonlight fell, covering the water with a layer of white gauze.
Rat Da stood on Chu Liang's shoulder, shook his tail, and shouted loudly: "Big snake, come out immediately, your chance has come!"
Rat Er said: "Big snake, you have ten breaths of time!"
After that, the two little mice shook their bodies at the same time, releasing the powerful breath of a mid-level demon, as if they were two peerless demon kings, with demonic energy rolling, terrifying and intimidating.
After just a breath, the water surface moved.
Splash!
Water splashed and rippled.
A giant snake with a dark blue body rose from the lake. Its golden eyes looked like golden lamps in the dark night. Its body was huge and strong, and its scales shone like metal in the moonlight.
"Hiss..."
The snake slowly lowered its head, without any hostility, and surrendered to Chu Liang.
Chu Liang stood by the lake with his hands behind his back and asked him, "I want to know your past. Do you have any way?"
"Hiss..."
The snake spit out its snake tongue, and its golden eyes flashed with a lively light. He was not stupid and guessed what Chu Liang meant immediately.
As long as there was no problem with his past, Chu Liang would accept him as a beast servant!
But he could not speak human language, and even his mental fluctuations could not communicate with Chu Liang. He could only communicate with the two little mice slowly in the unique way of the demon clan, and convey his wishes through the two little mice.
After a while, Rat Da said to Chu Liang: "Master, this big snake said that he has been practicing in the mountains, feeding on monsters in the water, swallowing natural treasures to grow, and has never harmed anyone."
Rat Er also said: "Master, we have seen his past through spiritual connection. He has indeed never harmed anyone. He is a good monster."
"Yes."
Chu Liang nodded slightly, looked at the big snake, and said: "Are you willing to follow me?"
"Hiss..."
The big snake nodded, with joy in his eyes, lowered his head even lower, and swam slowly to the lakeside with his huge body.
Chu Liang reached out and patted his huge head.
"In this case, I will help you break through!"
This big snake has cultivated to the peak of the current stage, and it is only one step away from breaking through to the middle level and becoming a big monster comparable to the tendon refining monster.
The Evolution Treasure Book gave a hint:
[Mysterious Water Snake: Evolvable]
[Offer 70 kilograms of middle-level monster flesh and blood to evolve the "Mysterious Water Snake" into the "Mysterious Water Jiao"]
Chu Liang's mind moved, and a large piece of flesh and blood was suddenly missing from the snake skin storage bag.
At the same time, the Evolution Treasure Book glowed slightly.
A ray of light flew out from Chu Liang's eyebrows and flew into the big snake's head.
The big snake trembled all over, closed its eyes for a moment, and when it opened them again, the look it gave Chu Liang became extremely kind.
Chu Liang also felt the connection between him and the big snake, and thought to himself: "What name should I give him?"
Just at this moment, the big snake suddenly let out a long hiss, and the demonic energy surged all over his body, and his breath burst out.
The advancement began!
Under the cold moonlight, the snake roared and rolled, its huge body splashing the lake water, its scales as hard as gold and iron were falling off piece by piece, and terrifying blood marks appeared on the snake's body.
Blood burst out, blood mist filled the air, and the entire lake was dyed blood red, which was extremely terrifying.
Boom!
The two big bags on the top of the snake's head exploded together, and broken bones, flesh and scales splashed, leaving only two short black horns that looked like dead branches.
The process of metamorphosis was extremely bloody, and the smell of blood enveloped the entire mountain forest, and even the moonlight on the night sky was smeared with a layer of blood.
In the blood, the breath of the snake rose steadily.
The epidermal scales fell off completely, and the flesh and blood dried up, like rotten wood, with more and more cracks.
After a long time...
Sizzle!
Two sharp claws tore through the dry flesh and old skin, and poked out, flashing a faint cold light under the moonlight.
