Gun Kai
Chapter 615 Vitality Three (Lao Gun wishes everyone a prosperous Year of the Dragon, good health, and all the best)
On a stone beach at the edge of a small stream.
Leaves shielded the sunlight, and two squirrels nimbly ran to the edge of the stream.
"Xiao Hui, what are you doing here?" Huang Mao A Shou couldn't understand. He felt that Xiao Hui had changed, becoming neurotic, always saying things he couldn't understand.
"Looking for something," Li Cheng颐 replied casually.
"Looking for what?" A Shou asked.
"A plant with triangular leaves," Li Cheng颐 said.
"What is triangular?"
"The shape of your head."
"What does shape mean?"
"..." Li Cheng颐 was too lazy to pay attention to him and instead looked around, observing the edge of the stream.
Two snakes muttered, looking at Li Cheng颐 for a while, and then at a faint forest path in the distance.
"You shouldn't disturb me at this time," Li Cheng颐 had no interest in chatting with these animals with deficient IQs.
"Is he really brain-damaged?" The fox looked at the other party approaching him in surprise. Usually, these two squirrels would turn around and run away in a puff of smoke.
It was obvious that he was very hungry.
Li Cheng颐 glanced at the approaching fox. The other party's eyes were fixed on him, obviously taking the closer him as the target.
Just as he was carefully adjusting his state, on a tree trunk not far away, two small green snakes entwined on the branches were whispering secretly.
This time, unexpectedly...
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a gray shadow flashed, and the fox lost sight of the other party in an instant.
He ran over, gently picked a section of it, and Li Cheng颐 began to look around for the second type.
This process was very complicated. It was not easy to artificially reproduce one of the countless coincidences in the body of that wild bull back then.
He turned his head, his keen sense of signals magnified countless times by his huge consciousness, and any detailed information was captured and analyzed by him.
That was left by a man who often came to the forest to practice and exercise, stepping and opening up.
Multiple combinations are needed to truly start the first round of Eternal Vitality enhancement.
Herbal medicine combined with special self-exercise to activate its effect, then taking another medicine at a critical moment, and finally cooperating with stimulation on the level of consciousness.
"Isn't this Xiao Hui, who fell from the tree before?" The fox stared at Li Cheng颐 with a smile, saliva dripping unconsciously from the corner of his mouth.
Time passed slowly.
"What do you think happened to Xiao Hui? Did he eat something fed by that human before and become stupid?"
The leopard and several mink-like creatures lurking in the dark, seeing this scene, all had their hairs standing on end, and retreated in the direction away from Li Cheng颐.
Before long, after wandering around the surrounding area for more than ten minutes, three different kinds of flowers and plants were carefully placed in front of him.
Hiss…
Suddenly, a low laugh came from the side.
Soon, he found the first kind of medicinal herb he needed.
On a stone slab the size of a washbasin, tiny dewdrops still faintly remained on the leaves of the three herbs.
Li Cheng颐 grabbed the three herbs and stuffed them into his mouth. He chewed the herbs carefully, as if he were tasting a fine delicacy, and swallowed them.
"Fox Da Hong!!" The squirrel A Shou was so frightened that all his fur stood on end. He turned around and ran away, darting up a tree and into a tree branch.
"I have claws, I have teeth, I am agile, unstoppable, why can't I be considered a beast?" Li Cheng颐 said casually.
The pulling of the dead corner was likely to simply pull his consciousness out and pour it into this squirrel's body.
Without even looking at the fox howling on the ground, he bypassed the other party and walked in another direction.
But now, after confirming that his body had inexplicably disappeared and only his consciousness remained in this body, Li Cheng颐 knew that he had no choice.
He had already analyzed the preliminary enhancement materials for Eternal Vitality. Forbidden knowledge quickly found three herbs that, when mixed together, could produce preliminary enhancement according to his current body.
Then, he cooperated with the corresponding emotional state fluctuations in his mind.
He approached the other party step by step.
In the dense forest, on the stone, gazes from all directions gathered on Li Cheng颐, watching this suddenly changing gray squirrel.
But it didn't matter, victory only needed a moment.
With a shrill scream, the fox rolled on the ground, its belly was torn open alive, and blood splattered everywhere.
The other party's huge size had an overwhelming advantage for him now.
Click.
Before long, Li Cheng颐 finally came back to his senses from meditation.
The digestive stimulation of the herbs needed to be carried out at the right time, in the right state, to enhance the peak value bit by bit.
A fox with reddish-brown fur slowly walked out of the bushes, squinting its eyes.
"Tsk tsk tsk, look who this is?"
"I don't know, but that human should be arriving soon, right? Maybe we'll find out why later."
He thought that the other party had run to the left and right, and was about to move his line of sight to follow, when suddenly a sharp pain attacked from his abdomen.
Someone was coming.
He instantly judged the source, direction, and creator of the subtle sound.
In the simple memory of this squirrel named Xiao Hui, there remained a man named Kui.
That was a strong man who liked to carry a backpack and come to the mountains and forests alone to practice his fists and feet.
And on the third day of every week, he would come here alone for a full day of practice.
Because only Xiao Hui accompanied him before, he would always bring some food for the squirrel along the way.
After many times, the two had silently formed a tacit understanding.
Thinking of this, Li Cheng颐 felt the trickle of water gushing out of his body. The warm current had begun to slowly transform his body.
This meant that the first Eternal Vitality enhancement had succeeded.
Eternal Vitality's enhancement speed was extremely fast after mastering forbidden knowledge. It could be said that as long as it was properly coordinated, it could be successful.
This was the power of forbidden knowledge.
Moreover, because it can only be enjoyed by one person, no matter how fast it is, it cannot be promoted, and there is no need to worry about destroying the balance of nature.
'The enhancement needs to last for about three days, with no side effects. This is the first time. But after that, the next enhancement range will be greater. If the strength of my flesh and blood cannot keep up, I will be torn apart and burst. This is the real danger that begins...I need to survive three consecutive enhancements to condense the first flesh and blood vitality imprint.'
Li Cheng颐 recalled the content of Eternal Vitality he had learned in the library.
He leaped, lightly jumping onto the tree trunk, like Xiao Hui before, waiting for the man to arrive.
Before long.
From the depths of the forest, a short-haired black man with an inverted triangle upper body slowly walked over.
The man was strong and well-proportioned, his eyes as bright as stars, and his arms were wearing two black metal arm guards, with black tiger patterns engraved on them.
In addition, the man was also carrying a denim backpack, which was bulging, obviously containing a lot of things.
Looking at his dress, Li Cheng颐 quickly judged that the human civilization in this world was obviously at a relatively high level of modernization.
At least the simple T-shirt, jeans, and belt on the man could not be made in ancient times.
He jumped back a few times and quickly returned to the oak tree where his tree hole was.
Standing on a horizontal branch, Li Cheng颐 looked down at the approaching man.
"Hi." The man threw the bag to the ground and waved to him.
"Here." Then he took out a small thing from his pocket and threw it forward.
Li Cheng颐 accurately reached out and caught it. When he looked at it, it was a walnut the size of an egg.
"You're welcome, I saved it for you," the man said lightly. After saying that, he ignored him, turned around, found an open space, and began to take off his shirt.
His exposed upper body was well-proportioned and full of muscles. There were hideous scars on his bronze back, showing that he had definitely been through hundreds of battles.
After jumping around and moving around a few times, he began to warm up.
Moving in small steps from side to side, stretching his arms, shoulders, pressing his legs, doing push-ups, and single-handed pull-ups.
After doing all kinds of warm-up exercises, the man suddenly stood still.
Whoosh!
Suddenly he threw a stab punch.
The fist seemed to disappear and was punched out extremely quickly, then retracted.
It was this punch that made Li Cheng颐's originally calm pupils shrink suddenly.
He instantly judged that just now, that punch had reached a speed of thirty meters per second.
What kind of concept was this?
Under normal circumstances, if humans are not genetically enhanced, the maximum punch speed during the Earth-Moon period is only fifteen meters per second.
But here...
He could casually encounter someone who could reach thirty meters per second!?
Thinking of this, Li Cheng颐 instantly understood that this world was probably not as simple as he thought.
Then, he began to concentrate on watching the man practice.
The man's practice was very simple, just punching back and forth, dodging, punching, occasionally interspersed with leg strikes, horizontal sweep, and whip leg.
It looked very simple on the surface.
Time passed bit by bit with the practice of boxing.
Li Cheng颐 didn't move, and kept standing on the tree branch watching the man practice boxing.
He didn't know when, but suddenly a gray furry claw pounced from behind him.
That was a claw like a cat's. It slapped Li Cheng颐 fiercely at an extremely fast speed.
It was a lynx!!
Li Cheng颐 came back to his senses, but it was too late to dodge.
But it didn't matter.
From the beginning, he had no intention of dodging.
Whoosh!
Li Cheng颐 lightly jumped upwards, turned to face the claw close at hand, and then struck out with his claws like lightning, tapping on the cat's claws.
With a hissing sound of blood splashing out, the lynx screamed, retracted its claws, and almost rolled and fell off the tree branch.
On its right claw, there was already a bloody wound more than ten centimeters long.
Li Cheng颐 landed lightly, turned to look at the lynx.
"It just so happens that I want to eat meat."
Stimulated by his eyes, the lynx roared angrily, jumped down from the tree, and pounced on Li Cheng颐.
Chih!
A flash of blood.
The two passed by each other.
Under the man's shocked expression, Li Cheng颐 slowly retracted his claws and turned to look at the lynx.
At this time, there was a clear blood hole in the lynx's throat.
Puff.
The lynx fell to the ground and died, twitching all over, with a lot of blood flowing out.
The man stared blankly at Li Cheng颐, and then looked at the lynx.
"You" He opened his mouth and said a series of gibberish words that Li Cheng颐 couldn't understand at all.
But this did not prevent the two from communicating.
After the interlude with the lynx, Li Cheng颐 returned to his position, dragging the dead lynx carcass, and quietly continued to watch the man practice boxing.
The man also adapted to the existence of a squirrel that could hunt lynx. After being shocked, his thick nerves continued to focus on practicing boxing.
