One pound of meat equals one attribute point.

Chapter 63 Surprise
Wow!
In the underground palace under the earth fortress, large pieces of rubble and dust fell from the ceiling.

The hazy moonlight sprinkled along the cave entrance, and a black shadow suddenly appeared.

Su Heng landed lightly on the ground.

I felt a chill all over my body and realized that all my clothes had been shattered and digested during the fight.

Fortunately, when I looked down, I saw the body of an elder not far away.

I don’t know what kind of martial arts the Luo family practices, or if there is something wrong with the family’s genes.

Most of the elders are a bit fat.

The corpse in front of me was over 1.9 meters tall and weighed nearly 300 kilograms. It lay on the ground like a mountain of flesh.

The fatal injury came from the top of the head.

The entire top of the head disappeared, the brain inside was completely empty, and only two eyeballs were left hanging in the empty cranial cavity.

Su Heng took off the elder's white robe with gold edges and put it on himself.

It doesn't really fit.

Two thick thighs are directly exposed, and the feet are bare, but it is still no problem to cover the body shape.

Su Heng buttoned up his shirt without paying attention to the details.

She simply tidied up her long hair, grasped the hilt of the Guijianchou sword, took two steps forward, entered the underground palace, and looked around.

It was pitch black, but one could feel how vast the area was.

There was a strong smell of blood in the air.

And there are subtle differences. One is fresh and the other is corrupt. It should be that a large number of people died here in two different time periods.

keep moving forward
A pillar engraved with dragon patterns appeared in front of Su Heng.

He reached forward and touched the candlestick protruding outward from the pillar.

puff!
Su Heng snapped his fingers.

A red force ignited the candlesticks one by one.

Balls of fire lit up, dispelling the darkness, and the entire picture of the underground palace appeared in front of Su Heng.

In the center of the underground palace was a huge pool of blood. It looked like it had been bombed by a rocket launcher and had completely shattered, leaving only half of the wreckage. Surrounding it were radioactive chunks of flesh and various pieces of internal organs. The most eye-catching thing was a bloody head.

This head is as big as a millstone.

His face was swollen and blue, his eyes were open and his face was frozen with an expression of pain and wailing.

boom!
Su Heng kicked the head away.

He came to the blood pool and looked around, and what happened here not long ago gradually emerged in his mind.

"Taotie...Seal..."

"The elder of the Luo family was actually not completely lying to me."

"So, the demon I just encountered is Taotie, one of the four evil beasts in the legend?"

"Hmm...it seems like there are some dishes."

"No, Taotie just escaped, and his strength should not have recovered to its peak. And his magical power is indeed strange. When I entered the ancestral hall, I was already very alert, but I was still swallowed up. If I hadn't been strong and discovered the clues in time, the consequences would be hard to say."

"Huh..." Su Heng frowned slightly and thought carefully.

If you encounter a Taotie in its prime, it might not be so easy to deal with.

of course……

Su Heng was not afraid that Taotie would come back again.

He even vaguely expected that guy to seek revenge on him.

No matter how fast Taotie's strength recovers, it can't be as fast as his. When they meet again next time, there is no way he will let him escape from his hands.

This is the confidence that talent and hard work give him.

Swish!
Su Heng raised his hand.

The Tai Sui fungus was activated, and a ball of white mist formed in the palm of his hand and then spread outward.

The bloodstains on the ground and the bodies of the elders of the Luo family were soon wrapped in white mist, and then quickly shriveled up. Pieces of flesh condensed into a considerable mass in the underground palace.

Just the meat of Tai Sui brought a lot of harvest.

However, doing so always gave Su Heng the uncomfortable feeling that he was eating "leftovers". Taking Taotie into account again, Su Heng found a clean piece of clothing, wrapped the meat Tai Sui up, and carried it on his back.

Go straight forward and you will reach the end of this underground palace.

Twist the torch.

The ground trembled slightly, and the wall in front of him actually sank downwards, soon revealing a passage.

"It actually works." Su Heng determined that there was still space behind the wall based on the spread of the bacteria.

As for how to get in, he didn't know.

I twisted the torch subconsciously, but I didn't expect that there was a mechanism hidden in the torch.

Click!

Su Heng raised his leg and stepped into the dark corridor.

He stepped on the mechanism, and there was a crisp sound from inside, and two arrows more than one meter long shot out.

The arrows were wrapped in a layer of green light, obviously they were poisonous and would kill anyone who saw blood. But Su Heng just waved his hand and caught the two arrows, broke them and threw them on the ground, and continued to move forward.

After taking only two steps, the ceiling above my head opened and two wooden shower heads suddenly appeared.

A large cloud of green smoke enveloped Su Heng.

Unfortunately.

Even the stomach acid of the Taotie had no obvious effect on Su Heng, let alone these poisonous gases.

The Qingmu Changsheng Gong was running inside his body endlessly, and coupled with Su Heng's inhumanly strong physique, the poisonous fog was isolated from outside.

Su Heng had already guessed it.

Because the torch was rotated at the wrong angle, the trap in the corridor was activated.

But it doesn’t matter. The more traps there are here, the more security they have.

The more it proves that there are extraordinary things buried in the secret room at the end of the corridor, and it may even be related to the core inheritance of the Luo family.

boom!
Su Heng smashed the stone door at the end of the corridor with one punch.

Waving his hand to disperse the smoke and dust, lighting the torch, Su Heng entered the final secret room.

The firelight dispelled the darkness, and it was different from what one had imagined. This tightly guarded secret room was not filled with gold, silver, and treasures. Instead, it seemed somewhat empty under the light of the fire.

The air was filled with the stale smell of mothballs, and there were a few wooden boxes in the corner.

The most eye-catching thing is the wall in front.

There is a mural carved on the wall, which shows a giant with a dignified face and long flowing beard, who looks like a door god in a New Year painting, holding a chain and a flower spear, and exorcising demons.

The demon being pinned down by the giant also looked familiar. Upon closer inspection, it was the Taotie we had just encountered.

"hiss……"

Su Heng took a deep breath, squinted his eyes, and rubbed his temples with a headache.

This picture looks simple at first glance, but if you look closely, you can sense that countless information is pouring into your mind, making Su Heng's mental consciousness a little dull.

"This is a fundamental diagram of a martial art, and it is of extremely high quality." Su Heng is no longer the rookie who just started out in Changqing County and knew nothing.

After following Su Li for a few days, he has already built a rough framework of martial arts.

Looking around, it was indeed the case.

Su Heng found more words and pictures on several other walls.

They included standing meditation, the Heart Sutra, breathing techniques, etc. Su Heng calmed down and wrote down all the words and pictures one by one.

Wait until you have confirmed that everything is correct.

Su Heng took a deep breath. Even though he had experienced a lot now, his character was beyond that of ordinary people.

But looking at the gray and white words appearing on the attribute panel, Su Heng's heart still beat violently twice, and he could hardly suppress his excitement.

Because, the skills on this wall.

This is exactly what Su Heng has been dreaming of, a technique that can improve digestion ability and increase the speed of acquiring attribute points.

[The Taotie method has not yet been initiated (after reaching the next level, one can awaken the magical power "Sub-stomach", creating a mustard seed-sized space in the body for storing food.)]
