Hide in the world of gods and demons

Chapter 56 Guo Ping Kills the Demon

The test results were quite encouraging.

Except when charging up a powerful strike, the speed of the golden nail is too fast and the force is too great, making it less effective.

He could easily deflect the golden nails with any other normal attacks.

Of course, this is mainly due to the daily sword practice, which has made Chen Li's reaction and eyesight far superior to his peers. If it were an ordinary mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator, even if he used the same traction technique, he probably wouldn't be able to dodge the ordinary attack of the Golden Light Nail, which is known for its speed.

To celebrate.

After returning home, the two stayed up very late again.

"I think you are a genius in the art of magic, especially the finger flick of spiritual energy. You have mastered such a low-level magic to this extent."

Afterwards, Zhou Hong nestled in Chen Li's arms and whispered, her beautiful eyes filled with tenderness.

"I'm no genius, I just make up for my lack of talent with hard work!" Chen Li said with a wry smile.

He was self-aware enough to know that he was by no means a genius. If it weren't for the game interface, he probably wouldn't have survived the first few months after transmigrating.

"Why can't I learn it?" Zhou Hong asked coquettishly.

"This can't be accomplished overnight; it requires a lot of practice!" Chen Li said helplessly.

In his spare time, he also gave Zhou Hong pointers on the "spiritual energy flicking finger technique".

As a result, Chen Li found that the effect was not good; the opponent was simply unable to exert as much power as he had.

Zhou Hong can actually perform a simple 'spiritual energy flick'. But to reach the level of a grandmaster like Chen Li, even with his guidance, countless hours of practice are still necessary.

His 'spiritual energy flick' is still 'spiritual energy flick', with no essential change.

In fact, even with the help of the game panel, Chen Li still practiced nearly 6,400 times to reach this level. As for ordinary people, it would probably be difficult to achieve even with a lifetime of practice.

As Chen Li spoke, the strange hand reached out to touch...

Hey!

"Hate!"

Zhou Hong said one thing but meant another, and while she made a coquettish remark, she pressed her body even closer to her man.

……

The days of hibernation are uneventful, boring, yet fulfilling.

There was no longer a survival crisis.

Chen Li follows the routine every day, with a full schedule.

With the 'Traction Technique' mastered, Chen Li also successfully acquired the 'Lightness Talisman' a few days later.

At the same time, the 'scolding technique' has also advanced to the expert level.

Chen Li hadn't tested the exact power of the expert-level 'Reprimand Technique,' but based on his already mastered 'Spiritual Power Flick,' he estimated it to be at least at the level of a mid-tier first-order technique.

The weather is getting warmer.

The temperature is gradually approaching zero degrees Celsius.

To prevent the cave from flooding after the ice and snow thaw, Chen Li had to deal with the two entrances and exits.

The foundation of the exit where the 'home' is located was raised.

Fortunately, with the advent of 'traction technology', the workload has been greatly reduced.

Under the pull of magic, a large amount of mud and rocks in the courtyard surged forth like a flowing stream, automatically filling the area around the cave entrance. In the time it takes to cast a spell, a 'ring of mountains' was formed.

Then, use another log to repeatedly tamp it down, and it's done.

As for the second exit, it's relatively more difficult to handle since it's on another street.

Finally, under the cover of night, Chen Li carried a large stone slab weighing over a ton for several hundred meters, cleared away the snow, sealed the entrance of the cave with the stone slab, and then covered it with snow again.

On my way back.

Looking at the chest-deep snow on both sides, Chen Li suddenly had a thought.

He stopped and cast a spell to pull the object away.

The legal domain spread rapidly.

As soon as he had that thought, the snow beneath his feet collapsed several inches out of thin air.

However, Chen Li's body remained completely still, without any change whatsoever.

"I thought it could fly, but it seems I was just overthinking it. No wonder the book didn't mention it!"

Chen Li shook his head. "It's somewhat different from the effect of an arrow-avoiding talisman!" he thought to himself.

When he tested the Arrow Avoidance Talisman, he could feel the reaction force, but he couldn't feel it at all with this spell.

"Two modes?"

That's not hard to understand.

Just like throwing a punch, if you do it yourself, the force you use will naturally be the same as the force you get back. But if you remotely control a mech, even if you punch your opponent into mincemeat, send them flying off the Earth, or even out of the solar system... you won't feel any reaction force at all.

This traction technique clearly belongs to the latter category.

……

One night.

Faintly, the roars of beasts could be heard again.

After waking up, Chen Li quietly got up without disturbing the sleeping Zhou Hong.

Once they emerged from the cave, the sound quickly became clearer.

The beast's roar sounded rather mournful, as if it had suffered a severe injury. Soon, the sound turned into a wail, gradually weakening until it disappeared.

Was the monster killed?
Chen Li quickly went to the sound.

After struggling through the snow for several hundred meters, he reached his destination.

A large crowd had already gathered there, many of them like Chen Li, who had come from nearby to watch the spectacle.

Curious, Chen Li leaned forward to take a look.

"This is a demonic beast!?"

This was the first time he had ever closely examined a demonic beast.

This monster resembled a wild boar, but it was undoubtedly much larger and more ferocious.

It is six or seven meters long, and even when it lies on the ground, it is as tall as a building. It looks like a mountain of flesh, and standing next to it gives people a strong sense of oppression.

Its dark gray, rough skin had an extremely thick texture, its mouth was sharp and protruding, and two fangs protruded like two curved blades, making it look extremely fierce and ferocious. Surprisingly, these two fangs gleamed faintly in the night.

It had five or six wounds on its body.

However, its fatal wound was a bloody hole the size of a bowl at its anus, from which a section of severed intestine limply protruded, and fresh blood flowed continuously along the severed intestine. It was obvious that its abdomen had suffered severe damage.

Chen Li looked at a middle-aged rogue cultivator who was slumped on the snow and panting heavily.

Clearly, the monster was killed by the other party.

Seemingly having regained some strength, the rogue cultivator forced himself to stand up, cupped his hands in a circle to the crowd, and laughed loudly:

"My name is Guo Ping. I was fortunate enough to survive this beast's attack. It's fate that you neighbors have come here tonight. Everyone who sees this should share. I can't eat all this monster meat by myself, so let's divide it up here!"

He smiled, but his heart was bleeding.

A single monster is incredibly valuable.

His flesh alone is worth ten mid-grade spirit stones.

They said they wouldn't eat much, but the meat wouldn't spoil in the dead of winter.

But human nature is complex. Such a large fortune, he was alone and powerless; how could he possibly keep it all to himself?

Do not give up your interests.

I'm afraid his death will come in a few days.

"Fellow Daoist Guo, you were the one who killed him, how can I accept this?"

"Fellow Daoist Guo is so generous and magnanimous!"

"Good job, Daoist Guo."

……

The onlookers immediately beamed with joy and began to exclaim about how cheap the deal was.

Immediately, word spread and people called on their friends and family, and soon more and more people gathered.

In the quiet of the night, it suddenly became bustling and lively, as if one were in a busy city.

Chen Li watched for a while, then quietly left the crowd.
