Chapter 196 Basic Body Refining Techniques and Martial Arts

A group of people were eating, drinking, and eating. In addition to camel meat, there was only some cactus meat as the staple food.

This mutated cactus is a specialty of this civilization. It is rich in starch, can be used as a staple food, and tastes pretty good.

Around the stone fire, the singing of women and children could be heard.

"Da ya ya da ya ya..."

They are always easily satisfied, at least today is indeed a rare day where they can eat and drink enough and enjoy the fruits given by Lu Yuan.

As for what will happen tomorrow, let’s think about it tomorrow.

Lu Yuan saw a few little guys, all dirty and barefoot, but their eyes were quite smart.

These cubs are quite cute, and Lu Yuan is getting older now and has been traveling for a long time, so his thinking is different from before.

He became more and more fond of young, energetic little guys.

He winked at them, whistled, and then took out a small bag of glass marbles.

This is a little thing brought from the Lize civilization. I play it when I am bored.

One of the bold children tried to run over and got the toy, picked up a marble, laughed happily, and showed off to his peers.

"Happy time, if you don't think about tomorrow..." Lu Yuan thought to himself.

And the men talked about the monsters in the Sky City.

Talk about a bleak future.

It’s a completely different style of painting again.

The village elder, Sha Sanli, took out a map made of camel skin: "Located in the north of the city is a strange bird with red feathers."

"It is...about five meters long. It is extremely powerful and can raise red gorilla wind."

"Flying extremely fast!"

“Once you get that touch of red, it gradually melts into a puddle of liquid.”

"This red strange bird is too strong and occupies a large pool. We are no match at all."

When he said this, he felt sad and shook his head slightly.

Obviously, there must have been fatalities in the village before corresponding information could be obtained.

Lu Yuan frowned again.

This large-scale supernatural phenomenon sounds like it could be...a vision?

"It shouldn't be a monster, but a vision of a stranger. Otherwise, how could these Shali people survive to this day?"

Of course, as the incarnation of idealistic rules, vision does need to arouse vigilance.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, Lu Yuan had no motivation to launch an attack.

"I wonder if this strange bird can be tamed..."

He thought to himself: "If it can be tamed and have a vision that can only fly, it can be of great help."

"What else? What else? Let's talk about it together." Old Cat sat on a small bench and urged.

Shasanri whispered again: "There is also an unidentifiable monster."

"We call it ghost fog. It only appears at night. It has hundreds of eyes, which are huge and scarlet. If you look at it, it will be possessed by evil spirits. Over time, you will become insane. In nightmares die."

It's getting more and more mysterious.

The old cat couldn't help but ask: "What kind of ghost mist is this? Have you witnessed it with your own eyes?"

"No, no, everyone who saw it went crazy... It was the people from the next village who told me."

Lu Yuan looked at the flickering fire and fell into deep thought.

For these civilizations with underdeveloped productivity, some things are just legends passed down from generation to generation.

You don’t have to believe them all.

"anything else?"

"To the east of the city, there is a group of huge... lizards..."

"It's about this big... its skin is bright red, it can spit fire, it also has wings, and it can fly briefly."

Sha Sanli also compared the tricycles for a while: "With a swish, he pounced on the person and took him away."

"Those lizards are twice as big as this...car."

Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel moved in his heart after listening to his explanation.

Isn't this the first extraordinary creature he has dealt with, a salamander?

As a result, there are actually a large group of salamanders in the Sky City, and they can even fly!

"How many?"

"At least a hundred!!"

This number is beyond what the Sunari clan can handle.

Strength, strength, is really important...

For powerful civilizations, these lizards are precious extraordinary resources that no amount of money can buy.

For a weak civilization, it is an evil ghost that urges death.

While listening, Lu Yuan did not make any promises.

He is only one person and can do as many things as he has the ability.

Lu Yuan still understands the principle of rising rice's favor and fighting rice's hatred.

It was only the first time that he and the Shali clan met, so they didn't have a good relationship.

Once you put mental shackles on yourself, it becomes an additional burden.

So he can't make any promises.

Sha Sanli took out another larger map from a certain drawer: "Besides, there are too many monsters with less strength, maybe hundreds..."

"The Cockatrice, Quinton, Two-headed Crow, and Vulture are all not easy to mess with."

"The most important thing is that they don't occupy much water. Even if we barely win, the water we get will not be enough for the village to use for a long time."

This is a relatively complete camel skin, covering a full 2 ​​square meters, with a complete map of the distribution of monsters in the Sky City.

There are thousands of various text symbols like mung beans, and in some places there are simple images of monsters... They are definitely the crystallization of the blood and sweat of the Sunali clan.

There is even a part of the underground waterway drawn on the reverse side of the map.

Although the sewer is home to the mother worm and her offspring, it is also the easiest place to obtain water.

"It's a pity that with years of drought, the water in the sewers is also decreasing... Sigh, I don't know when it will end." Sha Sanli swallowed and looked at the full moon that had just risen.

Lu Yuan also knew that this map meant a lot of favors.

He couldn't understand the text above, so he had to pass it on to the old cat.

The old cat took a piece of white paper, installed a fountain pen on his cat's paw, and in less than 10 minutes, he copied the map exactly the same.

After such a conversation, it was getting late, and the Sarai people arranged an uninhabited earth house for them and cleaned it up a little.

"If you have anything to do, just ask."

The conditions in indigenous villages without technology are just like this.

Lu Yuan didn't mind it either, so he just followed the Romans.

The house is not big, only thirty square meters.

There is also a deep, well-like basement, about 10 meters deep, with a bed underneath.

"Good guy, this bed down there is quite cool."

Wandered around the village again.

The wall is the most primitive earth wall, made of clay mixed with stems and leaves of certain plants and compacted.

There is a big water tank in the yard of each house, but there is no water in the tank.

About one kilometer outside the village, there is a black quagmire with oily stuff in it, like asphalt, that can be used to burn.

In the center of the village there is an ancestral temple built with large bluestones.

There is not much nightlife in this large village of 3,000 people. Everyone goes to sleep directly at night.

There were only a few young men on vigil at the village gate chatting about the interesting stories that happened today and the bad things that happened in the major villages.

Because Lu Yuan's hearing was too sensitive, he couldn't help but hear some "rustling" sounds.

Because water resources are precious, sand is commonly used in villages for bathing.

Lu Yuan could not imagine what a man and a woman in the dark could do on the sand.

This may be how the high fertility rates of ancient civilizations came about.

"Translate, my sister, my cat. What are they talking about?"

Cat Mama was indifferent, her eyes full of contempt.

As for Conch Girl, she was really fooled by Lu Yuan and started to translate seriously.

She said: [Hmph~ Look at this bitch, didn’t you just take a little less water? How angry are you? ! 】

[Drink less water and you won’t be allowed to touch it, right? 】

[...I almost died there. Look at how busy you are all day long. You have to be dead to be happy, right? Hurry, rub it for me. 】

When Conch speaks this dialogue, it always has a weird style.

Immediately afterwards, Conch's tone changed: [That purple foreigner is indeed very skilled. He can fight better than all of us combined! 】

[It just looks a bit ugly. 】

[The whole person looks like he has rolled through a cesspit, his whole body is purple, only the whites of his eyes and teeth are white... Evil man from Mainland China, do you want to continue eavesdropping? 】

"Yes!" The old cat couldn't help shouting and began to eavesdrop.

Lu Yuan was embarrassed. Is he so ugly now?

I have no choice but to stop listening. You might get angrier the more you listen.

He quickly escaped to the house and used Eternal Fire to clean away the heavy pigment on his skin.

It's not a hassle to clean up, it just takes a little time.

At this moment, the bound immortal giant turtle finally slowly regained consciousness from its manic mental state.

Its dark green eyes stared at Lu Yuan, and giggled "Hey hey hey": "Brother, I'm awake, don't tie him up."

Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said angrily: "What's going on with you? How much do you remember?"

The immortal giant turtle opened his mouth, and his not-so-smart mind tried hard to remember.

"I had a dream, and everything in the dream was delicious food. Those things smelled so good... Even if I knew it was a dream, I wouldn't want to wake up."

"There is also a strong obsession...to become a god...that obsession controls my body..."

"Can't remember the rest clearly."

It shook its purple turtle head heavily.

Lu Yuan asked in confusion: "You mean that all the creatures in those buds are still alive and are just dreaming?"

"No, they are indeed dead... Only Mr. Turtle survived. Their souls have disappeared, and what controls their bodies is just that strong obsession."

"Where did the soul go?"

"No... don't know."

The Immortal Giant Turtle may be a unique existence, and not even the [Demon] can take it away.

Maybe its soul is also immortal, or maybe it has no soul at all and is just the incarnation of a certain idealistic rule.

But hearing what it said, Lu Yuan felt a little pressure in his heart.

Once the soul disappears, it means there is no way to use the Tree of Life to resurrect.

Of course, he quickly thought of a solution: "As long as I die quickly enough, I won't have this worry."

He stuffed an orange into its mouth and comforted the turtle that had just woken up.

The turtle shed tears. It wanted to continue having that beautiful dream and kept wailing: "My steamed buns, noodles...my beef ramen...when I woke up, there was nothing but an orange."

"Get out of here!" Lu Yuan yelled.

…

A night passed like this...

Lu Yuan spent a whole night getting rid of the purple on his body, and finally he looked like a human being.

He felt that he had become the brightest kid in the village. No matter where he went, the women in the village would cast curious glances. Where did such a yellow-skinned person come from?

And the turtle following behind attracted a series of compliments.

"This turtle is so big and looks very meaty."

"I don't know how fragrant it is when stewed."

The immortal giant turtle couldn't understand the indigenous language and was quite embarrassed - it was a madman when it came, and now it could only remain silent and follow behind.

Lu Yuan came to the ancestral hall and asked straight to the point: "Elder, I would like to know some knowledge about martial arts and the information you found in the Sky City."

“This knowledge is very useful to me.”

He finally added: "If you can give knowledge, I will be rewarded generously."

"This warrior... you, you don't know martial arts?!" Sha Sanli was shocked. You don't even know this, how did you defeat the enemy?

Lu Yuan shook his head and told the truth: "I only know extraordinary fire."

Of course, his is not an extraordinary fire, but an evolutionary type of eternal fire.

The people of the Shali clan all stared at him with their eyes wide open, as if they were looking at a monster.

In fact, they call extraordinary fire "basic body refining".

Only after being in Pangu Continent and having the ability to identify people, did they discover that it was called "extraordinary fire".

Can extraordinary fire alone be so powerful? Are you lying to me?

Finally, a group of people welcomed him into the room and made him a cup of something like butter tea, which was probably made from camel milk and had a bit of a fishy smell.

The captain of the militia, Shakaner Changchang, explained: "Martial arts is a long story... It is said that the 'Basic Body Refining Technique' was handed down by the great ancestors. Almost everyone can practice it. It is simple and easy to understand, and it all depends on God. point."

"But martial arts must be obtained by swallowing the 'qi' of monsters."

Lu Yuan couldn't help but ask: "How many years has your 'Basic Body Refining Technique' been circulated?"

"I don't know. It has been circulating since before there were written records."

Lu Yuan sighed in his heart, this is another second-generation civilization...

But this second-generation civilization is too weak.

Why hasn’t technology been developed yet?

An idea suddenly popped into his mind: cutting off most of the inheritance might be a way to escape the epochal disaster? !

"What's going on with the monster's qi?"

Shakan'er took a sip of camel milk and explained: "Some monsters, even if they die, their 'qi' will still remain for a while."

"If you can swallow this 'qi', you can feel it flowing around in your body."

"Use your brain to sense the movement of 'qi' and learn its secrets, then you can use martial arts to a certain extent."
