Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented
Chapter 696 Heading to the Suburbs
The Shi family's cultivation aptitude is generally poor, and even with a genius like him, it is difficult to change this situation.
But at this moment, he saw the hope of being promoted to the Ning Gang stage!
However, a sudden change broke the tranquility. The roof collapsed and a huge golden eagle spread its wings and swooped down.
The Bilin Snake seemed to open its eyes alertly.
Shiji's face changed drastically. He had just taken the elixir and the spiritual energy in his body was fluctuating unsteadily. If he was attacked by a monster at this time, the consequences would be disastrous.
Without thinking too much, he turned over and jumped over the wall, running as fast as he could.
The golden eagle's target was him, and it was chasing him relentlessly.
Shiji did not dare to fly with the sword for fear of exposing his strength and also worried about causing panic in the nearby villages.
He ran as hard as he could, and while running, he fainted.
Shiji had a dream.
The dream was about a desolate world, with endless desert, yellow sand all over the sky, and dead silence.
Suddenly, a magnificent palace collapsed and dust rose everywhere.
Then, an old and hoarse laugh was heard: "That's right! It's this breath! It's you! It's you who took away my body and occupied this shell. I will never let you escape!"
The voice was full of resentment and hatred.
Shiji suddenly woke up from his dream, with beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Who is talking to me?" He gasped and looked around, but found nothing unusual.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered to himself, "Strange, why did I suddenly have such a nightmare."
For some reason, Shiji always felt something was wrong.
But he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he shook his head to dispel the distracting thoughts in his mind.
He took out a dagger and a short knife from the storage ring and began to dig out the inner elixir from the Green Scaled Snake.
Suddenly, the belly of the green-scaled snake twitched and it groaned in pain.
The Bilin Snake (corpse) struggled violently, its body twisting continuously.
Although the Green Scaled Snake is not very strong, it also has a life-saving skill - poison.
"Not good!" Shiji quickly closed his five senses, blocked his senses, and quickly evacuated the room.
The Bilin Snake (corpse) twitched for a few seconds and then calmed down.
Shiji let out a long sigh and thought to himself: Although this green-scaled snake is powerful, its IQ does not seem to be high, otherwise it would not be killed so easily.
The inner elixir of the Green Scaled Snake contains extremely high spiritual power. It's a pity that Shiji is not good at refining elixirs, otherwise he could use this inner elixir to improve his alchemy skills.
Suddenly, an arrow streaked across the sky like a meteor and shot straight towards us.
Shiji's pupils shrank, he raised his right leg and kicked the arrow away.
Then, arrows came like raindrops, and there was no time to dodge.
"Damn it!" Shiji cursed angrily, clenched his left fist, and smashed hard at the arrow flying towards him.
A series of collision sounds were heard, and blood immediately flowed from Shiji's fist.
Shiji's face turned pale. He never expected that he would fall into the hands of this group of human hunters.
Shiji ran all the way, but his injuries became more and more serious, and his physical strength gradually declined. Even raising his hands became extremely difficult.
"Is this the end for me?" Shiji felt ruthless and decided to make a final struggle.
At this critical moment, two hunters suddenly jumped out from the side.
One of them saw Shiji was injured, and hurried forward to help him, asking with concern: "Master, what happened to you? Are you injured?"
Another hunter quickly drew the dagger from his waist and stabbed the green-scaled snake.
The neck of the green-scaled snake was pierced by the dagger, and green juice spurted out and splashed on the hunter.
"Hurry, give it the antidote!" Shiji shouted hoarsely, obviously exhausted by excessive blood loss.
Although these hunters had no martial arts skills, they had rich hunting experience and worked in perfect harmony. They killed the dying Bilin Snake in just a few moves and took out the snake's gall.
"Young master, you are seriously injured. Rest for a while and we will carry you back." The two hunters helped Shiji lie down under a tree.
Shiji's face was pale, his lips were colorless, he covered his chest and coughed several times, and ordered: "Go to the town and get a doctor."
After the hunters left, Shiji sat cross-legged and began to practice the Secret Book of Qiankun to adjust his disordered breath.
An hour later, Shiji recovered almost completely and left the forest, heading towards the Shi clan tribe.
When Shiji returned to the Shi Mansion, he saw that the house was in a mess.
He frowned: "What's going on?"
The housekeeper quickly reported: "Second Master, the clan leader led people to suppress bandits today, and was ambushed on the way back. Fortunately, with the help of the guards you left behind, we were able to escape. The clan leader was seriously injured and has been unconscious so far, and the old lady's condition is not optimistic either."
After listening to the housekeeper's narration, Shiji's face changed drastically.
He hurried to the ancestral hall and saw his mother lying on the bed dying. His eyes suddenly turned cold.
Shiji walked to the bedside, put her hand on Madam Chu's pulse, and checked her condition.
He discovered that Madam Chu's life flame was almost extinguished, and only the life-extending elixir could save her life!
Shiji took out a jade box from her bosom, opened it gently, and took out a bright red, fragrant Qi-replenishing pill.
He put the Qi-boosting pill into his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it.
Then, Shiji practiced the breathing technique from the third level of the Qiankun Secret Book to absorb and refine the spiritual energy in his body.
The spiritual energy flows along the meridians and finally gathers at the dantian.
The originally empty Dantian finally condensed a trace of true energy.
This means that he has entered the realm of warrior!
Shiji was delighted and immediately started practicing the second level of the Qiankun Secret Book and began to absorb the spiritual energy in his dantian.
Soon, the spiritual energy was refined into true energy, and Shiji's cultivation level was further improved.
He just felt that all his bones were filled with strength.
He was ecstatic and shouted excitedly: "I made a breakthrough!"
However, Madam Chu's condition was getting worse and worse. If she was not treated in time, her life might be in danger.
"Oh no, my mother's life span is almost over!" Shiji was horrified, "We must find the life-extending elixir as soon as possible!"
The life-extending pill can slow down the old lady's death and keep her alive for at least half a year.
Just as he was about to leave, two arrows suddenly shot into his abdomen and shoulder respectively.
Shiji's eyes flashed, and he dodged the arrows. He grabbed one of the arrows with his backhand, and with a slight twist, the arrow broke.
At the same time, another arrow pierced his robe. The sharp tip of the arrow penetrated deeply into his flesh. Blood oozed out instantly, dyeing the black robe red.
Two guards came up and surrounded Shiji.
Their cultivation is all at the martial arts master level.
However, before they could get close to the rock, they were pierced through the throat by a crossbow arrow.
Blood flowed down the neck.
Shi Ji's eyes were red, veins popped out on his forehead, and his heart was filled with anger towards the Shi family.
He vowed to wipe out the entire Shi family!
Suddenly, rapid whistling sounds were heard all around the Chu residence.
A group of men in black rushed in and stabbed at Shiji with swords raised.
Shiji's face changed and he put aside the matter of revenge for the moment. He jumped and escaped from Chu's house through the window.
The men in black were chasing after him, but they didn't know where Shiji was going.
"Damn you, kid! How dare you run away!" the leading man roared, "Search! Even if you have to search the entire place, you must find that kid!"
As Shiji just climbed over the wall and entered her own yard, a deafening thunder rang in her ears.
He looked up suddenly and saw that the sky was pitch black. Lightning like silver dragons cut through the dark clouds, illuminating most of the night sky.
"What's going on? Is this a calamity?" Shiji muttered to himself, dumbfounded. He was an immortal emperor in his previous life, so he naturally recognized this ancient beast, the Thunder Dragon.
Raindrops as big as beans fell on my body, and the cold water droplets slid down my cheeks.
Shiji stood in the wind and rain, looking up at the sky.
He knew in his heart that in his previous life, he lost his soul due to an accidental calamity, and his rebirth now was God's will.
"Now that I have been reborn, I must cherish this opportunity." Shiji raised a faint smile, his eyes flashing with determination and persistence.
He took a step forward, moving towards the roof, then suddenly jumped, landed lightly on the eaves, and quickly moved away on the tiles.
After Shiji left, a beautiful woman on the roof smiled with satisfaction and floated lightly into the house.
"Mom, how do you feel?" The beautiful woman squatted down, held Madam Chu's hand tightly, and asked anxiously.
At this time, Old Madam Chu had fallen into a coma, her face was pale, like a lifeless corpse.
The beautiful woman burst into tears, and she sobbed and comforted softly: "Mom, don't sleep, wake up quickly."
After leaving the Shi Mansion, Shiji ran straight to the outskirts of the city.
Suddenly, a loud noise shook the mountains and forests, startling countless birds.
Shiji stopped and looked up, only to see an extremely thick arc of lightning in the sky striking straight towards him, like the wrath of a god, unstoppable.
The lightning struck Shiji's head like a thunderbolt, and the powerful electric current raged wildly in his body.
Shiji groaned in pain, the muscles on his face twitching slightly. He clenched his teeth and activated the second level of the Qiankun Secret Book's practice method.
The true energy in the body surged into the meridians like a tide.
Although the power of thunder is terrifying, it also has the miraculous effect of tempering true energy.
Shiji gritted his teeth and persisted. After an unknown amount of time, the thunder finally dissipated.
He felt as if all the pores in his body were opened up and he felt extremely comfortable.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully upgrading to the seventh level of warrior!" The system's clear and pleasant voice suddenly sounded.
Shiji opened his eyes, his dark pupils flashed with a sharp light, and the corners of his mouth curled up into an evil and arrogant smile.
He shouted excitedly.
At this moment, the jade pendant hanging around his waist suddenly rang.
"Hmm?" Shiji looked doubtfully and finally took out the jade pendant. "Who will send me a message?"
He opened the jade pendant and saw two words engraved on it: Save me.
The handwriting looked familiar, as if it was the handwriting of the man in black that he saw last night.
"Save me? Who needs my rescue?" Shiji frowned, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
The jade pendant rang again, this time with a more urgent sound.
"Should I save him or not?" Shiji pondered for a moment and made a decision. "There's no loss anyway, so why not do it?"
After saying that, he put away the jade pendant and left the Shi family.
After Shiji left, a woman in white appeared on the roof.
Her skin was whiter than snow, her facial features were extremely delicate, and her bright eyes flashed with a faint green light, like an eerie will-o'-the-wisp.
The woman in white stared at Shiji's receding back with a sinister and ferocious smile: "Shiji! You caused me to lose a thousand gold coins! Today I will kill you to avenge my father!"
In an alley, Shiji hid in the dark.
Outside the alley, a group of men in black were searching for him.
"Found him!"
Following a stern shout from one of the men in black, all of them rushed towards the alley together.
Shiji's eyes were grim. He pulled out a dagger from his bosom and stabbed it fiercely into the chest of the man in black who was rushing in front.
The man in black fell down, raising a cloud of dust.
Immediately afterwards, a group of men in black rushed up and tried to hack him to death with their swords.
Shiji calmly took a few steps back, shook his wrist, and the silver needle shot out like lightning.
In the blink of an eye, the heads of the three men in black were pierced by silver needles, and blood splattered everywhere.
The remaining men in black showed looks of horror on their faces.
Shiji took the opportunity to turn around and run away.
His speed was much faster than usual, and he rushed a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye.
"Chase! Don't let him get away!"
Shiji used his mysterious power to fly with the sword at an astonishing speed.
Thunder rumbled in the sky and brilliant light flashed across the sky, like the end of the world.
Shiji couldn't help but frown.
He didn't expect there would be such a devastating scene. It was really shocking.
While flying on the sword, he was thinking about his next plan.
According to the original owner's memory, the capital of Chu State was a chaotic place.
Under the protection of the imperial palace and various nobles and wealthy businessmen, the Shi family committed numerous evil deeds, oppressed the common people, and murdered innocent teenagers. They were simply a family of bullies.
Moreover, the Shi family colluded with the Demon Sect to make money for it.
The Shi family is the only family in the capital that has the support of the Demon Sect. They are so powerful that no one dares to mess with them.
The reason why the original owner became the illegitimate son of the Shi family was entirely because he was forced by the Shi family.
In order to expand its power, the Demon Sect sent Shi's eldest grandson Chu Haoran to sneak into the Shi Mansion and steal the family treasure.
After Chu Haoran stole the treasure, he was worried about being discovered, so he planned to poison Shi's biological mother, Liu.
After Liu was poisoned to death, Shi's eldest son Chu Jinfeng inherited the family property.
However, Chu Jinfeng was unwilling to accept the gifts from his father and brother, and eloped with the money.
"Damn it!" Shiji couldn't help but swear. She didn't expect the plot to be so bloody.
"who are you?"
He vaguely heard the person on the other side of the jade pendant asking him for help.
But he knew nothing about the Demon Sect.
The vibration of the jade pendant became more and more rapid.
Shiji's heart tightened, and she said in confusion: "Wait, are you really in danger?"
"Ding Dong!" The system's notification sounded again, "Ding Di... The target has been locked, please go there as soon as possible."
Shiji cursed, looked around at the buildings, and finally chose a dilapidated house and fell into it.
As soon as he stood firm on his feet, Shiji heard a noisy sound coming from outside.
"Search! We must find that bastard, otherwise we will all be in trouble!"
A group of people rushed in, holding torches and carefully searching every corner of the house.
"Hey, that's weird, it was here just now, how come it disappeared in the blink of an eye!"
"He must be hiding!"
"Search separately! We must find him even if we have to turn the place upside down!"
In the dark night, there were flickering flames and noisy voices.
Shiji hid in the corner of the room, holding her breath, staring at the group of men in black. (End of this chapter)
