The fisherman druid is in another world

Chapter 419: True Form Revealed on the Road Back

When coming, they chase the stars and the moon, but when returning, they are slow and sluggish.

Angono's new apprentice is called Fao, which means little bird in the indigenous language.

Except for the nobles, the locals have no surnames and their names are chosen casually.

Fao is quite suitable for the situation. He is too thin and really looks like a little bird.

Such a body cannot withstand the bumpy ride.

Angelo also wanted to let Fao recover his body first, so he used the "Spiritual Energy Transformation Technique" on him.

This is a supernatural skill applied to the digestive system. To put it simply, it is to make the target's digestive system extra vigorous through the blessing of spiritual energy, efficiently decompose and digest, and produce the "essence of food" that is beneficial to life.

So these days, Fao and the magic wolf he called "Aqing" became closer and closer, hunting together and eating raw meat and drinking blood together.

Angelo also let Fao, even though it was too early for the weak Fao to participate in hunting monsters and he couldn't help much, but Angelo valued this attitude of daring to challenge the strong.

Angelo never underestimated Fao's basic wisdom. He knew very well that Fao was not the kind of ignorant and therefore fearless fool.

On this day, two men and a wolf walked out of a vast forest area.

There are still many trees here, but it is no longer a dense forest, but a sparse secondary forest.

Angelo was dressed neatly, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was spotless.

Not far behind him, Ah Qing's fur was also shiny, fluffy and clean, with only four muddy feet.

Fao was a complete mud monkey, but in just half a month, he had become much more solid than when he was in town. He was even stronger than his healthy peers. He was like a dwarf who had grown horizontally.

Lingwu is not for the purpose of training into a muscular man, but a muscular man can more easily "transform" into high-quality tendons, so it can be seen as a prerequisite.

Angelo looked towards the gray mountain shadows at the end of his field of vision.

He knew that beyond the mountains was a vast plain.

Once you reach the Great Plains, head northeast for less than 800 kilometers and you will reach Fort Kahn.

If you travel this road the same way you did here, it will only take one day and will hardly cause any encounters.

But if we move normally, we cannot avoid contact with the natives.

He was not afraid of trouble, but he did not want to be the scapegoat because of the anger and resentment caused by the wanton plundering and slaughtering of other conquerors.

At this time, Fao, who had been with Angelo for a while and was quite familiar with him, came over and said with a pursed mouth: "Master, I'm hungry again."

Angelo was too lazy to correct the fact that he had not yet become his disciple and could not be called a master, and instead said, "This is already the area where the holders of the Mysterious Soldiers are active, and the darkness of human hearts is sometimes even darker than that of monsters. Be careful when you go out hunting."

"Yes, Master." Fao answered very respectfully. Only he himself knew whether he had really listened to him or not.

With the master's permission, Fao turned around and regained some of his youthful spirit. He called out to the magic wolf with high spirits: "Let's go hunting!"

After saying that, he swiftly leaped several meters away, directly straddled the demon wolf, leaned forward, and hugged it with his arms.

The demon wolf whistled, then leaped out like the wind, and after three leaps and two jumps, it disappeared beyond the bounds of Angelo's field of vision.

This hunt went smoothly. Fao was still the bait, while Ah Qing attacked and caught a fat monster. Then the man and the wolf ate its meat and drank its blood.

And both of them have some special habits. Faol likes to eat hearts, and the demon wolf likes to eat brains.

They didn't know the saying of "what you eat will replenish what you need"; they just followed their animal instincts and ate whatever they craved.

It is worth mentioning that the monsters hunted this time were particularly plump and nutritious.

For extraordinary gluttons like them, taste and nutrition are directly linked.

So they spent more time and managed to eat the monster, which weighed more than a ton and contained over 500 kg of flesh and blood, until only a skeletal head and a pile of internal organs wrapped in fur were left.

"Haha! It feels so good!" Fao patted his slightly heaving belly, which looked like it was filled with half a small oil jar, and shouted a few times in satisfaction.

Ah Qing also howled "Woo, ah, woo" twice.

Then he walked back leisurely.

Before leaving, Fao broke off the monster's horn as a souvenir.

The monsters in this world can be compared to the monsters in the mythology of the Eastern Universe on Earth, but they are not humanized.

According to what the Eastern Taoist priests said in the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, the state of the human body is most in line with the natural world and is the easiest to interact with.

So the monsters wanted to transform into humans in order to reach a new stage of life evolution.

But the monsters in this world do not have the same awareness that humans are favored by heaven and earth.

On the contrary, the human race's Xuanbing technology was developed by Xuanbing craftsmen who observed the habits and special abilities of monsters.

To be more specific, it was the behavior of monsters to extract supernatural powers for their own use through interaction with the minerals of this world that stimulated humans, who then developed the mysterious weapons.

Before that, the reason why humans were able to gain a higher survival status among all the races in this world was because of their wisdom, unity, and the use of tools.

This is another important reason why Xuanbing was invented. If you lack something internally, you can make up for it with external forces. This is the logic behind making good use of tools.

Below the monsters that often transform into various shapes are the Warcraft.

Extraordinary animals are one level lower in ability than monsters, and their intelligence is also inferior.

We still use the mythical creatures of the East China Sea as a benchmark, that is, those ferocious beasts that have lived long enough to become spirits, or those with relatively special bloodlines.

The next level lower is wild beasts, which are half a level stronger than the jackals, tigers and leopards known to modern people on Earth. Wild boars are comparable to underage Triceratops, and jackals are comparable to Velociraptors. It is about this level.

Of course, not only the wild beasts have a slightly higher starting point of physical fitness, but the humans here are the same.

Anyway, if it was the Middle Ages on Earth, Fao was skinny and had a big head, comparable to the appearance of an Ethiopian refugee child. Even if he took nutritious medicine, he would not be able to be replenished, and it would be impossible for him to become a muscular boy in a short period of time.

Moreover, Fao has some little secrets passed down from generation to generation, so Angelo is jealous of his physical fitness and potential.

He had already thought about collecting some of the excellent native bodies of this world as backup if conditions allowed. It was highly likely that this would have a positive effect on his cultivation.

The hunting took less than half a day, and Fao and the magic wolf returned to Angelo.

The leisurely stroll on the way back just met the needs of digestion, so the absorption was particularly sufficient, and it also allowed Fao to break through a critical point in his body.

"Crack!" The bones cracked repeatedly. Although the change was not as drastic as when the dog turned into a demon wolf, it still grew bones and flesh. The height increased by more than ten centimeters. The muscles were not as knotty as before, but became more elastic and tough.

Moreover, the hair has changed significantly, from being burnt and dry to being shiny and straight. The originally crooked teeth have been knocked out, and along with a mouthful of bloody spit, the new teeth that have grown quickly are white, bright and clean.

But when Angelo saw this scene, he was a little disappointed.

The prerequisite for Lingwu is to cultivate spiritual power, similar to the innate energy of Dongda.

It’s just that the innate energy of the University of Tokyo is something that everyone is born with.

However, this spiritual power needs to be granted by a guide.

It is a kind of artificially synthesized extraordinary power, which can be used as an alternative device to continuously transform spiritual power and nourish the body and mind. But it is not the original spiritual seed, and is a level lower than it.

This kind of practice of accepting spiritual power, adapting to spiritual power, and nurturing spiritual power is called high-level martial arts.

Gao Wu also set several realms based on the state of mind and body. And Fao has now reached a realm that can be regarded as the most advanced, called bloodline optimization.

As the name suggests, it means to develop the potential in one's own bloodline and make an acquired selective mutation.

The genes originally inherited from parents did not grow according to the optimal solution. Now, starting over again, it is equivalent to inheriting the best genes from parents and kicking out the inferior ones.

There is no doubt that whether he is the child of destiny can be seen at this step.

Although the child of destiny has extremely good luck, it can be said that every step he takes is fearful, but every step is fruitful, and there are great rewards after every big risk.

However, its own potential is also indispensable.

A blacksmith must be strong himself, especially the first pot of gold in life, which is mostly obtained by ruthlessly exploiting one's own value.

But if the value is not good, after severe exploitation it will only be enough to set up a stall at the night market, then this first pot of gold would be a bit wasted.

Putting it into the present, when Angelo looked at Fau's changes, he really didn't see any demeanor of the child of destiny.

After all, he had seen the world. He didn't even need to compare himself with the Nine Heroes or the Four Heavenly Kings. Even the other thirty-five generals of the same rank as him were very unusual, not to mention the strange phenomena in heaven and earth when they were born.

Later, they generally had the habit of collecting spare bodies for themselves, and naturally they also witnessed some high-end scenes of alien bodies and flesh.

In comparison, Fao's changes can only be described as mediocre.

With a slightly self-deprecating smile, Angelo waved his hand to lend a helping hand.

A spiritual power was released and transformed into gentle wind and rain, washing Fao from head to toe, meticulously and carefully, and forming a rainbow mist behind Fao.

Faao changed from a mud monkey into a fresh young man, with fair and delicate skin, rosy and healthy complexion, picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and a lively look.

Even though his clothes were tattered and ill-fitting, and his long sleeves and trousers had been replaced by shorts and short sleeves, it was still difficult to conceal his elegance and talent, and he didn't look like a peasant at all.

"Alive! I finally activated the seed of Xuanbing completely! I can become a Xuanshi!" Fao shouted loudly in ecstasy, then thought of something and glanced at Angelo.

Angelo wasn't too surprised.

I have known for a long time that Fao has a little secret. It turns out that he is from the fallen Xuanbing lineage.

The so-called Xuanbing meridians refer to those whose ancestors were rich and had been Xuanbing masters, or Xuan holders, or Xuanshi. Because of their profession, the Xuanbing meridians are naturally more extraordinary than those of ordinary people.

To put it in a more understandable way, long-term exposure to radiation leads to genetic mutations, and their offspring are also more sensitive to radiation.

However, in order to fully demonstrate this sensitivity, at least a radiation environment must be provided for it to manifest. The declining Xuanbing vein system has no conditions for engaging in work closely related to the supernatural, nor does it have the conditions to eat flesh and blood rich in the supernatural, so this ability has degenerated from explicit to implicit.

Even if there are mysterious weapons at home, they cannot be used and can only be sold in the end.

As for the related techniques.

The art of transcendence is inherently emotional and idealistic, and everyone's feelings and understandings are different. In addition, several generations have been unable to engage in this kind of work, so they can only pass on some basic and so-called unique knowledge points by rote, which is bound to be absurd.

When in Forge Hammer Town, Fao activated his family heirloom weapon due to the tragic death of his mother and his own imminent danger.

Although this prevented the monster from getting close to him for a while, he also became the monster's target.

Xuanbing is concentrated with extraordinary substances, and its veins are more nutritious than those of ordinary humans. Given the greed of monsters, they naturally want to eat something good to replenish themselves.

Angelo took the initiative to speak: "I also know some of the mysterious weapons and strange arts. They are indeed useful and do not conflict with my spiritual martial arts lineage.

However, human energy is limited, so you have to think carefully about how to make the decision. "

Fao said: "I want them all, I think I can do it."

Angelo smiled and said nothing more.

People are stubborn, especially teenagers with rebellious mentality. They always have to hit a wall before they learn their lesson. Since Faao is not a child of destiny, it is not surprising that he cannot break away from the rut of ordinary people.

There are different sizes, heights, complexity and simplicity of Xuanbing. There are even those specifically used for practice. The Xuanbing passed down by Faao's ancestor is just a simple little object for protective purposes.

Fao couldn't let it go, and Angelo let him play with it for a while before saying goodbye and setting off again.

Angelo's journey is not divided into day and night, which somewhat means "walking is also teaching".

But Fao's performance was just so-so. I felt that his performance in Forge Hammer Town was just because he was forced into a dead end, and under the influence of a strong desire to survive, he performed exceptionally well, which led to those performances.

Now that the crisis is over, they naturally relax and the lively temperament of young people comes into play.

Considering his background of not receiving orthodox education, his basic qualities and self-discipline are acceptable, and at least he is willing to work hard to learn the family skills.

But it was still a little short of the excellence that Angelo had imagined.

His grasp of opportunities and even his emotional intelligence are only average.

As the saying goes, there is no love or hate without reason.

If Fao performs well, is patient and alert at a young age, and is calm and steady, even if his physical qualifications are mediocre, Angeno is still willing to invest more in him to see if he has a promising future.

But his spiritual and physical talents were average, with only a bit of luck that allowed him to have occasional flashes of inspiration, so Angelo didn't put much effort into cultivating them.

I will give you some advice if it is necessary. It is up to you whether you listen or not, learn or not, and how much you learn.

This is the mentality of following the process for the sake of the task. In today's era, such teachers cannot be said to be bad, but they are not very good either.

Master, a teacher is like a father, these two words, if you take them seriously, still have a lot of weight...

On the third day, the two wolves, one big and one small, walked on the vast plain that Angelo had envisioned and analyzed.

The land here is fertile, the natural and artificial water networks are dense, the roads are in good condition, and there are many towns. It can be said that wherever you look, there is no wilderness where no man-made creations can be seen.

Such a fertile land is now rapidly collapsing and declining socially.

As one of the important members who participated in the establishment of the human end-time dynasty in the Tianzhou world, Angelo naturally had detailed and objective information for comparison, and then discovered that the cities in the Xuanbing Kingdom were already facing precarious social problems.

This society is already very distorted, and the warriors of heaven and earth are just the ones who pushed the collapse forward a little and made it more dramatic.

It is precisely because of this that Angelo strongly agrees with Robo's conservative strategy of action when all the conquerors are aggressive.

Angelo believed that the overall timing of the invasion by the Celestial Warriors was a very poor choice, and could even be said to be a negative example.

It was obvious that he could have acted as a savior and welcomed the royal army with food and drink in later years, but when the corrupt dynasty was on the verge of collapse, he had to take the blame for its many stupid and evil deeds.

That’s right, you are strong and have the qualifications to not care about these things.

But the reality is that it shouldn't be done this way.

You seek out hardship when there is no hardship, and you increase the intensity when there is no difficulty. Is that okay?

Angelo believes that this kind of style of acting recklessly and recklessly because of one's strength and wealth will inevitably backfire.

It was precisely because of this understanding that he instinctively drew a line between himself and other conquerors. It was not because he couldn't afford to fight with the local natives, but because it was not cost-effective to associate with the arrogant ones.

Therefore, he deliberately disguised himself. Not only did he dress and look more like a native, he also injected spiritual energy into an exquisite ceremonial sword that he had accidentally found while traveling, pretending to be a fake Xuan soldier.

It was against this backdrop that the two men and one wolf, crossing the plains, encountered an incident of escape and pursuit...
