Chapter 54
Not long after leaving, Miss Gao began to complain uneasyly.
"You are so smelly! You are covered in blood and sweat, which is so smelling!"
"If you can't stand it, come down and leave by yourself."
"Not down..." Miss Gao hugged her tighter, "You can't smell it yourself? It wasn't so dirty last time... Wow! There was still dead skin around your neck! Do you really have the "skin molting" state? Hurry up and find a pool to wash it! This lady is just thirsty too."
Jiang Chen looked at the sky, put Miss Gao down, cut a thin bamboo tube with a dagger, and poked it into the tree trunk to get water.
Miss Gao, who had never shut up her mouth, rushed to come over and greedily sucked the juice flowing out of the bamboo tube, filling her face with her face.
After drinking, she simply spread her hair and washed her face under the water.
Just as she was washing her face, a long blue shadow flew over and hit her neck.
Jiang Chen made a move halfway through, swinging the dagger accurately, and cutting the green snake into two pieces.
Miss Gao was unaware of this process. After a while, she raised her face, and said happily: "Where did you get the snake? Are you quite capable? Grill it and eat it quickly!"
She was together, and the water droplets fell down her neck, wet the cloth strip of her chest and pressed her tightly against her body.
Jiang Chen slightly turned his face and said, "It's not eaten, it's poisonous."
"Oh, it looks delicious." Miss Gao swallowed and touched her stomach, "I'm hungry."
"I'm hungry, too."
"Then why don't you go and get some food!" Miss Gao stamped her feet.
"Are you staying here and waiting for me?"
Miss Gao's face turned pale: "No, I'll go with you."
Jiang Chen carried her on her back and picked some fruits in the woods. After selecting them with the technique of identifying qi, he picked out the poisonous ones for her.
It was late at night, Jiang Chen found a tree hole, drove away the golden rat inside, and let Miss Gao sleep in.
"What's the thing in this nest? It's smelly... Wow! There's a lot of hair, it's so disgusting!" Miss Gao curled up and crawled inside, muttering in her mouth.
"Then let's change it, you sleep outside, I sleep inside."
Miss Gao glanced at the dark shadows of trees outside and shrank her neck: "For your loyalty, I will be reluctant to stay overnight."
She curled up and felt a little uncomfortable in her posture. She slowly turned over. When she heard Jiang Chen’s movement outside, she could not help but feel a little scared and asked in a low voice: “Jiang Chen, are you asleep?”
"No."
"What are you doing?"
"molt."
"It's so bad! I've only shed my skin and hair at such a young age. I used to think you were a master!" Miss Gao sneered a few times, and after a while, she said, "Aren't you sleepy?"
"If you are not sleepy, you can go to bed first."
"You don't want to do something to me after I fall asleep, do you?"
"do what?"
"Don't pretend to be stupid! Are you men full of things like that? Whether it's aloof emperor or a lowly slave, no one doesn't think about those dirty things! I caught a few days ago, a hateful slave. I gave them such a high reward, and they all were unhappy... Hello! Are you listening to me?"
"Listen."
"I warn you not to make any decisions about me. Whether it is a scent or an illusion, it will not work for me. Don't think that you can have a chance if you use some despicable means. You don't even have any other way. Do you understand?"
"Understand."
"Don't be perfunctory to me. Do you think I don't know what you are thinking, don't make any idea about me, do you hear?"
“…”
"Hey, speak!" Miss Gao poked her head out of the tree hole and pushed Jiang Chen.
"Miss, you may have misunderstood."
"Where did you misunderstand?"
"Think about it carefully with your smart head. If I really want to do something to you in this situation, do I still need to use the magic of scent and illusion?"
Miss Gao thought about it and retracted her head in fear: "This hole is very small and can't squeeze two people out. I'm sleepy, so I'll go to bed first!"
All night was safe and sound.
In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Chen finally shed all the old skin on his body and removed all the filth in his pores.
The newly born membrane is soft and tough, and looks like a newborn baby, soft and as soft as jade. Once tight, it is more stable than the old tree. It is also smart and sharp, making it difficult for mosquitoes to get close to.
At this point, the second-level body-building "skinning and hair cutting" state that had plagued him for several years finally reached its fullest.
The new skin is dust-free and filthy, as if it is reborn, making him light both physically and mentally.
He leaned against the trunk of the tree and breathed a sigh of relief towards the dawn passing through the forest.
When he got up, a crisp sound suddenly came from his body, like a firecracker, spreading all over his body.
As he inhaled and inhaled, the blood and blood rushed forward, rushing through the clotted barrier, wandering around his body, lively and boiling.
This means that he has officially entered the third-level "Yijin" realm.
At this time, Jiang Chen could clearly feel the clear and pure spiritual energy in the forest, rushing into his body in strands, making his body full of energy and blood surging, round and lively.
I rubbed my wrist slightly and felt the full power contained in the expansion and contraction of the fascia. Compared with my weak body before, I couldn't help but feel like a different life.
The martial arts that were previously unable to be used due to physical condition can now be tried...
The sound from the tree hole interrupted his thoughts: "It's so noisy! Early in the morning, the bones kept ringing!"
While rubbing his sleepy eyes, Miss Gao poked her head out and looked out for a long time, as if she suddenly woke up: "Why are you?"
"Sorry, I'm the only one here."
Miss Gao immediately retracted and checked whether her clothes were intact. After working for a while, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
She took the fruit handed over by Jiang Chen, and seemed a little moved: "Thank you for your hard work, I will definitely give you a lot after I go back."
“I’m looking forward to it.”
Miss Gao ate a bite of green fruit and said vaguely: "If you want to get the money, you must protect me with great care."
This is a rare peaceful time in the forest.
The next journey was even more dangerous than they expected.
The big gray ridge lizard, the ten-foot giant python, the steel-toothed lion, these overlords who fight alone can still avoid them according to their breath. The more terrifying group killers, the black crow, the crow wolf, the demon ants... are the things that really kill people.
Both lack experience in the forest exploration, so they get much more wild animals than they did when they came.
Fortunately, Jiang Chen was not the Jiang Chen of yesterday. He carried Miss Gao on his back and ran all the way. While he was throwing away the beasts again and again, he gradually became more and more adept at using the power of "Yi Jin".
If it were an ordinary warrior, after several detours and running around, he might have been confused by the complex terrain in the forest. But Jiang Chen, who possessed magical powers, did not have such concerns. No matter how the route changes, he always remembers the direction he went back.
In three days, they encountered nearly a hundred ambushes and sneak attacks, and they almost died every day, exhausted and in a mess.
Miss Gao, who was originally picky and particular, finally bowed to reality and no longer thought the water was dirty and the fruit was bitter. As long as she had eaten or drunk, she no longer complained. Her hairstyle was scattered and her clothes were not covered, this was nothing. As long as she could see the sun the next day, she was satisfied.
Jiang Chen, who had accepted the "blood-filling ceremony", had his physical changes and strength growth never stopped.
He knew that his foundation was not solid, and it was not a good thing to improve his realm so quickly. However, in a dangerous situation, the more strength he had, the more protection he had, so he did not deliberately suppress it. While escaping, he penetrated the meridians of the whole body bit by bit, tempered the tendons, veins and internal organs, and approached the perfect state of "Yi Jin".
