Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

Chapter 181
On the ninth day of April, the day of sweeping the mountain.

The sky was twilight, and a group of disciples from the Shui Jing Department gathered on the school grounds, talking in low voices.

"Brother Liao, have you ever had blood on your hands?"

"Does killing two alien beasts count?"

"No, did you kill anyone?"

"That's not..."

When Zhao Lin arrived, the disciples were discussing whether they had blood on their hands.

Most of them have only killed strange beasts. Only Guo Enze killed a fugitive when he went home to visit relatives last year and assisted the police in handling the case.

Seeing Zhao Lin approaching, Zhang Xiaoshan inquired, "Has Junior Brother Zhao ever killed anyone?"

Zhao Lin silently calculated, the beard that died on his hand, there were eighty if not one hundred, this number surprised him too.

But Beard is not considered a person, so he replied: "No, I haven't killed a single 'person'."

"I do not have either."

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at Zhao Lin and asked curiously, "Junior Brother Zhao, what kind of weapon are you carrying? Why does it look like a fork?"

The disciples of the Dancing Elephant Academy all aim at the blood realm, and they don't pay much attention to practicing weapons. Most of them use swords, guns, swords and sticks.

Zhao Lin had an iron ruler hanging from his waist, and axes were inserted on the left and right sides, which looked very different.

"This weapon is called an iron ruler. The guards on both sides can be used as a sword or a short stick."

Zhao Lin explained with a smile.

"I said that I seem to have seen it somewhere, and the policemen in the city use this..."

While the two were talking, Elder Shui Jing came to the school grounds, and the disciples fell silent instantly.

"Everyone is here, let's go."

Elder Shui Jing counted the number of people correctly, and led the disciples down the mountain.

Going north all the way, after about an hour, we came to the front of Yuanze Mountain.

Yuanze Mountain is not high and has a flat terrain. It is shaped like an open fan, running east-west, and there are some large and small hills on the top of the mountain.

Zhao Lin glanced at the third mountain from the east, and thought: "I hope that strange fish is still alive. It's hard to find a strange beast that can discharge."

This time, all the disciples of the Elephant Dance Academy participated in the sweeping of the mountain. There was no participation from the outer courtyard, and the disciples from the five departments arrived one after another.

Elder Jin Shi said indifferently: "After everyone enters the mountain, remember to hunt only strange and ferocious beasts, and take off the left ear as a record."

"The mild-tempered deer and sheep are of the genus, so don't kill them at will."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand, "Go, the mountain sweep will last for two days, and you can just come back tomorrow afternoon."

This time, no one rushed up the mountain, and walked up the mountain in twos and threes.

"Junior brother Zhao, do you want to come together?" Zhang Xiaoshan extended an invitation to Zhao Lin.

"Sorry, I like to be alone."

Zhao Lin politely declined.

He has more important things to do on this trip, and it is inconvenient to form a gang with others.

……

The mountains and forests are quiet, the morning fog is just beginning to open, and occasionally there are one or two crisp birdsong.

Zhao Lin walked lightly along the animal path in the grass, checking the footprints on the ground as he walked.

Animals in the mountains, no matter how big or small, will leave hoof and paw prints as long as they come out for activities.

According to the shape, size and direction of the hoof prints, experienced hunters can tell what kind of animal it is, whether it is a male or a female, whether it is going out of the cave or returning to the cave.

This ability is called "code tracking", which is an essential skill for hunters. Zhao Lin has learned it from Zhou Paotou and knows some inside tricks.

There is a proverb in Code Track: Look at the soil in spring, the grass in summer, the frost in autumn, and the snow in winter.

Zhao Lin judged from the traces of the soil being vigorously turned over, there should be a wild boar or a pig not far away.

Sure enough, after walking for a while, I saw a half-sized "wild boar" under a big tree in front of it, turning the soil layer and digging out roots.

Different from ordinary wild boars, its tusks are longer, and the bristles on its back are bluish-blue, standing upright.

This is a piggy that is mutating.

Since there is vitality in the world, warriors can use it to cultivate, animals seem to be more blessed in this respect, and some of them naturally mutate into strange beasts.

The wild boar in front of me is in the process of mutating. If it is truly evolved, it will weigh a thousand catties, just like the pig in Baitou Mountain.

"Stop arching, come here and die."

Zhao Lin greeted with a low voice.

Zhu Hao under the tree was startled, raised his head suddenly, stared at Zhao Lin fiercely, instead of running away, he lowered his head, pawed his hooves on the spot a few times, roared, and rushed towards him with all his strength.

Zhao Lin took out the iron ruler without haste.

Shi Hao's reaction was within his expectations.

As the saying goes, one pig, two bears and three tigers, it does not mean that wild boars are stronger than tigers and bears.

In fact, tigers are smart and know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. As long as they are not particularly hungry, they will hide when they see people.

People are three percent afraid of tigers, and tigers are seven percent afraid of people. This is the truth.

Bears are also not very timid, and only attack when they think they are threatened.

Only the wild boar has strong tusks, a bad temper, and a fearless heart.

No matter what animal, as long as it is provoked, it will choose to be direct and tough.

Seeing Zhu Hao rushing forward, Zhao Lin flashed lightly, and the iron ruler quickly shot down, right above the middle of its eyes.

This is the weakest part of Zhu Hao, and he only used half of his strength.

boom!
Hearing a bang, Xie Hao lost consciousness, rolled and flew four or five feet away.

Zhao Lin took out the rope, tied Zhu Hao firmly, carried it on his shoulder, and continued to look for the next target.

He didn't go directly up the mountain to find the strange fish, but hunted first.

I have seen in documentaries before that when Amazon natives catch electric eels, they always drive strong cows and horses into the water first, and let the electric eels discharge them.

Wait for the electric eel to finish discharging, and then go into the water to catch fish.

Because although the electric eel can release high voltage electricity, it cannot continue to discharge.

Zhao Lin is going to adopt the same strategy, catch some prey first and let the strange fish go electric.

The strength of the strange fish should not be underestimated. In the notes, the senior of the third blood level of Xingyunzong was stunned by it. It is too dangerous to force it.

Next, Zhao Lin caught two more armored beasts, one iron thorn lizard.

Liujia, also known as the armored pig, looks like a big armadillo, the difference is that it has sharp claws, a rounder head, and light red scales all over the body.

Liujia Beast was a nocturnal animal before it mutated, with a gentle temperament and no threat to Yao Nong. However, after the mutation, its temperament changed drastically, and it preferred to go out during the day. Ordinary people may be attacked when they encounter it.

Because of regular mountain sweeping, these strange beasts were not big, so Zhao Lin cleaned them up easily.

Considering that the strange fish probably wouldn't discharge dead objects, Zhao Lin caught the strange beasts and beat them half to death, then tied them up with ropes, carried them and dragged them, and headed east to the third mountain peak.

Be careful to avoid other people along the way, otherwise it will be difficult to explain what you are doing.

Zhao Lin circled the mountain peak, circling upwards, trying not to miss every place.

Walking halfway up the mountain, I heard the sound of water in my ears.

Walking over to take a look, there is a water pool about ten feet wide in front of you, and a mountain stream trickles into it.

The water pool is deep and green, and the bottom cannot be seen at a glance.

"It should be here."
