Chapter 93 Depend on each other
Just as he was about to fall on his back, Li Muran hurriedly slapped his waist and summoned the spirit beast Xiaoyue Wolf out.
Although Xiaobai was also very tired, especially in this daytime environment, he looked weak and lay quietly beside Li Muran, protecting his master.
The essence contained in the level 4 essence is too strong. If Li Muran's body and mana are in excellent condition, he can still slowly refine it after spending several days, but he forced himself to take the level 4 essence to maintain "one breath" in a critical moment. Now that he relaxed, the powerful power contained in the level 4 essence rushed into Li Muran's body, causing him to feel extremely painful.
"It seems that at least three or five months of rest can you absorb and refine the huge energy contained in the essence one by one."
Li Muran was very clear-headed, but his body could not move. Although his magic power was not as solid as a seal, it could not be easily mobilized. Because at this time the meridians of the body were being impacted by the energetic essence, they were rashly mobilized, which might make the already very weak meridians unable to withstand it, causing internal injuries and leaving behind future troubles.
"Fortunately, I have practiced the secret method of spiritual communication to cultivate spiritual beasts, otherwise I might not be able to command Xiaobai at this time." Li Muran said with a wry smile in his heart.
If a cultivator just uses the master recognition talisman to make the spirit beast recognize the master, it can certainly use the subjugation of the spirit beast for his own use, but once the master's own magic power is greatly damaged and he cannot control the master recognition talisman, the spirit beast will likely be out of the master's control and may even backfire on the master!
Li Muran not only used the master recognition talisman to Xiaobai, but also specially practiced the secret method of spiritual communication recorded in "The Spirit Control Technique". This technique can connect the master with the mind and spirit of the spirit beast, which is inseparable.
Li Muran just practiced the primary secret technique and could strengthen the mental connection with the spirit beast. The master and the spirit beast became one, prospering and losing together. If the master died, the spirit beast would immediately disappear and fall; so even if he was weak, Xiaobai would not betray him.
Moreover, when the spiritual secret technique is practiced to the advanced stage, as long as the master's mind moves, the spirit beast can immediately understand the master's instructions and execute the master's orders. And the master can gradually sense the spirit beast's thoughts.
In addition, if the master or spirit beast advances and his cultivation level increases greatly, the other party will also gain some benefits to more or less. This is the biggest benefit of the secret method of spiritual communication.
Of course, there are some disadvantages of the secret method of spiritual communication. If an ordinary spirit beast dies, the owner will not be affected in any way; but if he practices the secret method of spiritual communication, when the spirit beast is seriously injured or dead, the owner's soul will also receive strong feedback. Although it will not fall with the spirit beast, it will also be seriously injured. In severe cases, it will also leave behind future troubles!
Generally speaking, only a very small number of spiritual beasts that are planned to be cultivated for a long time will the master practice the secret method of spiritual communication, because once this secret method is practiced, the fate of the master and the spiritual beast will be closely related to some extent and will be difficult to separate.
For Li Muran, Xiaobai is not only his spiritual beast, but also his cultivation partner. In Kuanglu Mountain, they have to practice martial arts and play together every night. The emotions they have cultivated in the past two years are no longer simply the relationship between the master and the spiritual beast. Therefore, after Li Muran obtained the "Spiritual Resistance Technique" from the Beihan envoy, he did not think long before he began to practice the secret method of spiritual communication.
After a while, at noon, the sun was shining brightly and the temperature in the desert was extremely high. Xiaobai bit Li Muran's belt, dragged it to the shade under the sand, and then lay beside Li Muran to rest.
At night, Xiaobai "come alive" and became much more excited. He kept walking back and forth on the yellow sand to check the surrounding environment, but never left Li Muran's sight.
At first, Xiaobai didn't know how to walk in the desert. His left front foot was injured, and his limped every step, and his claws were deeply trapped in the quicksand, which was quite laborious. But not long after, although it was still lame, it could run quickly in the desert, leaving only shallow footprints on the sand.
Suddenly, a slight rustling sound came from Li Muran. Xiaobai's keen senses immediately discovered the matter and rushed towards his master.
A thick and long black shadow flashed out from the yellow sand, and it turned out to be a giant python several feet long. The latter opened its bloody mouth and swallowed Li Muran, who was lying motionless.
Xiaobai jumped straight in time, slapped the giant python's head with one claw, and the giant python died without moving.
"Level 1 Demon Python!" Li Muran was stunned, not surprised but happy.
Although he could not mobilize his magic power, he could sense that this giant python was not an ordinary beast snake, but a monster that had already opened its spiritual energy to breathe the energy of heaven and earth, although it was only the level of a first-level monster.
"If there are monsters, there are immortal cultivators; if there are immortal cultivators, there is immortal cultivator world!" Li Muran thought to himself that if he could find the nearby immortal cultivator world, perhaps he could find a way to return to the Kuanglu Mountains.
Xiaobai seemed to be hungry and swallowed the flesh and blood of the giant python in big mouthfuls. After a while, a giant python several meters long was swallowed by it. Although Xiaobai's body was larger than before after advancing to the second-level monster, it was less than ten feet tall, and it looked the size of a horse. It could swallow all the giant python, which scared Li Muran.
After a full meal, the scars on the surface of Xiaobai's body gradually recovered, and the fur appeared again as silver light. Li Muran had to sigh at the strength of the demon's body - it was only seriously injured last night, and just one day passed, and it became lively again, but its left front paw was still soft and unable to use all its strength.
For several days, Li Muran could not move at all. Although he could not eat for several days, in this scorching sun desert, his lips had not yet entered, and his complexion was not much better.
However, on this day, Xiaobai captured a shuffle fox. It took the shuffle fox to Li Muran's mouth and tore the shuffle fox's throat, allowing the shuffle fox's blood to flow into Li Muran's mouth.
Li Muran naturally did not waste Xiaobai's kindness and swallowed the blood of the shuffle demon with big mouthfuls.
Although the bloody smell was very heavy, he could still tolerate it. Moreover, after the demon blood entered his abdomen, he felt more comfortable, and it seemed that it would be slightly beneficial for the recovery of the injury.
Later, every time Xiaobai caught his prey, he would feed Li Muran some blood. However, there was very little prey in the desert, and Xiaobai did not dare to leave Li Muran too far, and his range of movement was limited, so he was not able to catch prey often.
Once, Xiaobai had not caught prey for seven consecutive days. For a powerful monster, it would be fine if he didn't drink or eat for several months, but Li Muran's cultivation was still low, but it was unbearable. Xiaobai saw that Li Muran was getting thinner and even bit his front legs cruelly and released some wolf blood for Li Muran to drink, which moved Li Muran.
One day, a strong wind suddenly blew in the desert. The strong wind swept the yellow sand and flew all over the sky, forming yellow hurricane wind columns more than a hundred feet high, raging everywhere in the desert, like yellow dragons soaring into the sky.
The strong wind blew with yellow sand, hitting Li Muran's body and face, as sharp as a knife. Xiaobai possessed himself and blocked Li Muran's body and sand for him.
However, as the wind became more and more powerful, one by one, as sharp and endless as the wind blade technique. Although Xiaobai's fur was tough and tough, it could not support it, and a subtle wound was drawn.
This kind of wound could heal in a short while, but it was stuffed into countless fine yellow sand, making it difficult for the wound to heal. If this continues, the yellow sand invades the depths of the wound, becoming more and more troublesome.
Xiaobai insisted hard, and at night, the strong wind was still blowing; Xiaobai suddenly let out a long roar, and a faint silver light suddenly appeared on the fur on his body, forming a semicircular light shield about the size of twelve, protecting it and Li Muran.
"Xiaobai, you finally mastered a spell!" Li Muran was overjoyed when he saw this. Although this was just a magic light shield spell, similar to the Vajra shield, he finally had new magical powers.
Seeing that the light shield showed a faint silver light, like the light of the bright moon, Li Muran called it the "moonlight shield".
The strong wind and yellow sand blew on the moonlight mask, and the light that hit the moonlight mask was sometimes strong and sometimes weak, but it was finally unable to attack it.
However, not long after, a hurricane wind pillar was swept towards them. Li Muran could not dodge and was swept into the air by the hurricane. The surroundings were covered with yellow sand and nothing could be seen.
At this moment, Xiaobai suddenly rushed into it and hugged Li Muran tightly. No one knew how many miles and miles were swept out by the hurricane. He only knew that half an hour later, the wind suddenly weakened. They fell into the yellow sand, and were buried in a large amount of yellow sand falling from the sky in an instant.
On the second day, the storm calmed down and the desert returned to peace. Xiaobai dug out a passage dozens of feet long, bit Li Muran's belt, and pulled it out from under the pile of yellow sand.
Although every person and beast are covered with scars and yellow sand in their mouths and noses, it is a great blessing to survive such a ferocious sandstorm.
Xiaobai shook his body vigorously and shook off the yellow sand in his body and the wound as much as possible. Its body is strong and has extremely strong recovery ability. Although there are many of these wounds, they are not too deep. After a moment, it will recover as before.
Li Muran's recovery was much slower. Although Xiaobai helped him lick his wounds every day and removed the yellow sand, it took two days to heal.
Thanks to Xiaobai's help, otherwise, in this crisis-ridden desert, Li Muran will not only find it difficult to recover from his injuries, but also find it difficult to get out of this dead desert!
This kind of life lasted almost a month, and Li Muran was finally able to move his fingers a few times and use some magic power. He opened the storage bag, took out the spiritual spring water and dry food from it, and gave Xiaobai some spirit feeding pills so that they no longer had to continue hunting and drinking blood.
Li Muran asked Xiaobai to carry him on his back, rest during the day, and rush to the road at night, leaning on the stars and bright moon to guide the direction, and heading south.
