Chapter 3 Breathing and breathing to open the mind

When Xu Hei woke up, he didn't know how much time had passed.

His body was in tatters, and the two pigs dug into his body several times. Their teeth scraped against the snake skin, making a "crunching" sound. They couldn't bite anymore, so they retreated to the corner.

"It hurts! It hurts too much!" Xu Hei twitched in pain.

This was the most serious injury he had ever suffered. His body was almost exploded, his meridians were severed, his skin was completely cracked, and his demon core was gone.

It was a miracle that he could wake up.

He twisted his body with difficulty and climbed to the other side to avoid being humped by the pig.

"My demon core is gone."

When he thought of this, Xu Hei wanted to burst into tears. This was the foundation of his practice, and now it was completely destroyed!

However, he was suddenly startled.

In the position of his demon core, a small black cauldron appeared, motionless.

The tripod has eight legs and is round in shape. There are many complex lines on the surface. A dragon is carved on it, surrounding the tripod, connected end to end, lifelike and like a living thing.

This cauldron is exactly what the boy called the "Demon God Cauldron".

He can see things inside him, which is weird! His eyes can look both inward and outward. Even with his eyes closed, he can still see an area of ​​ten meters in radius.

It's as if there is his third eye in the void, which can ignore obstacles and see everything around him clearly.

"Strange."

Xu Hei shook his head. This was not an illusion, he could indeed see it. It was the same as Chen Fan spying on him. He could now spy on others in the same way.

"Divine consciousness?" Such a word came to Xu Hei's mind.

How he was born with spiritual consciousness is unclear. It is said that only legendary cultivators have spiritual consciousness.

At the same time, there was something more in his mind.

That was the route of the true energy, and every step was extremely clear and somewhat familiar.

"This is the young man's training method!"

Xu Hei's eyes sparkled. He didn't know what the use of this cultivation method was, but what was certain was that it could heal injuries!

Xu Hei was not a mother-in-law's snake. After making up his mind, he immediately concentrated his mind and started running the exercise circuit.

Gradually, wisps of spiritual energy floated from the sky and the earth, surrounded each other, turned into a long spiritual energy dragon, and merged into his body.

This scene was exactly the same as Chen Fan's healing last night.

There were waves of numbness in the body, and the pain was easing. Xu Hei took a long breath and ran the second line. The spiritual energy entered the body and circulated, and the wound slowly healed with nourishment.

After a stick of incense.

Xu Hei opened his eyes again and looked inside his body.

“It’s really healing!”

Xu Hei took a breath and couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster.

In the wild, serious injury is basically equal to death, but with the healing technique, it is equal to an extra life. How can he not be excited?

Moreover, he had a vague feeling that this technique was mainly used for training and improving cultivation, and healing injuries was just incidental.

Just after breathing for a moment, his body was filled with spiritual energy, and his body felt light, as if he had taken a spiritual herb.

"Strange! I know that the demon core is broken, so it is said that it cannot store spiritual energy."

Xu Heixin was confused. The position of the demon core was replaced by a cauldron. Could it be that this cauldron became the demon core?

He tried to squirm his body and squeeze out the small tripod, but it didn't move at all. Xu Hei had no choice but to give up.

"Any young man can be so powerful. Humans are worthy of being the spirit of all things. Never provoke humans in the future!"

Xu Guangming swore secretly and quickly left the pig pen.

Before leaving, he took one look at the three pigs and simply ate the fattest one in one gulp before walking away.

He fled all the way to the wilderness, found a tree hole, got in and fell asleep.

…………

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

These days, Xu Hei has been practicing the mysterious technique. His injuries have healed, he has discharged many impurities, accumulated them into mountains, and even shed his skin.

This made him understand that this technique can not only heal injuries, but also improve physical fitness and cleanse menstruation and cut marrow.

The only thing that made him dissatisfied was that his size had shrunk by more than half, and he was only over two meters tall.

"A fat pig is two meters tall. How can I swallow another pig?" Xu Hei frowned.

Snakes can swallow prey much larger than themselves, but there is a limit.

However, although his size has shrunk, his speed and strength have increased a lot, and his flexibility has also become stronger. His skin can stretch several times, which makes Xu Hei feel a little relieved.

With the experience last time, Xu Hei no longer dared to go to human towns, but only caught some small prey in the wild.

Soon, another few days passed.

On this day, Xu Hei suddenly opened his eyes, and there was new knowledge in his mind.

——Cultivation system!

Human monks are divided into Qi refining stage, foundation building stage and elixir forming stage.

Demonic beasts correspond to the psychic stage, foundation building stage, and demon elixir stage.

"My current state belongs to the peak of the first level of the psychic stage, which is equivalent to the peak of the first level of the human Qi refining stage."

Xu Hei thought to himself that this was the new knowledge he had just acquired.

Ever since he swallowed human pills and Taoist priests, he would often gain human knowledge, and this time the knowledge seemed to come from the young man named Chen Fan?

This suspicion is not unreasonable. Recently, in his sleep, he often dreams about Chen Fan, and at the same time some strange memories appear.

Besides, there was something else that puzzled him.

"My loss of demon core is equivalent to a human's loss of Dantian. I should be reduced to a useless person, but my cultivation level has improved instead."

Xu Hei subconsciously looked inside, looking at the Demon God Cauldron where the demon core was located.

A trace of cloud-like spiritual energy gathered in the cauldron. This was exactly the spiritual energy he gained from practicing breathing and breathing.

"It really replaced the demon core!"

Xu Guangming was secretly frightened. He racked his brains and couldn't figure out what was going on. The human knowledge he gained could not explain it.

But he didn't have time to think.

The problem he faces now is that he is hungry again!

The technique allows him to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but just absorbing the spiritual energy is not enough. He also needs a huge amount of energy and blood to replenish it.

The monster cultivator cannot live without grains, so he needs a lot of food!

Xu Hei could only drag himself, glanced at the village down the mountain, shook his head, turned around and climbed up the mountain.

He doesn't want to go to the human world anymore. It's too dangerous there. He would rather starve to death than go to the pigsty.

Xu Hei's consciousness was released, searching for food along the way.

Throughout the afternoon, he ate a nest of bird eggs, a squirrel, a bobcat, and ran down the mountain in pursuit of a hare.

This little food is less than one-third of a fat pig.

Xu Hei's food needs are increasing, and this is simply not enough to fill his teeth. He needs to hunt large creatures.

Xu Hei looked down the mountain again and found a watermelon field, which was green and covered the mountains and plains.

It is far away from the village and there is only one farmer nearby.

At this moment, Xu Hei suddenly saw a dark wild boar in the watermelon field, gnawing on a watermelon on its head.

This wild boar was not very big, about one and a half meters in size. With Xu Hei's current size, it seemed just right to take one bite.

Xu Hei was suddenly moved.

He is facing the first decision in his life as a snake, to hunt large beasts.

"Is it dangerous to attack a wild boar?"

Xu Hei hesitated. It was not a last resort. He didn't want to face a large beast, but he had no choice. His appetite was too big. In order to survive, he had to take risks.

"According to the training system, I am now at the peak of the first level of the psychic stage. This wild boar is still in the stage of spiritual intelligence and is lower than me! It stands to reason that I can kill him easily!"

Xu Hei has many thoughts. He is not an ordinary beast. He can think. This is his advantage. You must make good use of this.

"To be on the safe side, it's better to take your time."

Xu Hei finally decided to take the risk and hunt the wild boar.

He climbed to the edge of the watermelon field, rolled up a big stone with his tail, and cautiously approached there.

On the way, he also put some small stones in his mouth.

In fact, with his strength, it is not difficult to kill a wild boar. He was once the snake king in this area and swallowed many people. He also killed wild boars. But looking back now, it was just good luck that he didn't die before.

Now that he has spiritual wisdom, he naturally has to be more cautious. He doesn't want to get hurt, but he is also afraid of pain.

When the wild boar resists, it will step on it with its feet and gouge it with its teeth, which is very scary. Of course, no matter how scary it is, it is not as scary as humans.

When he was within ten meters of the wild boar, Xu Hei suddenly raised his neck, opened his mouth, and moved all the internal energy in his body to gather at the mouth of his throat.

"puff!"

The stone was ejected from the mouth, like a cannonball, hitting the wild boar's head.

"Bang!" The wild boar's head was dented, blood spattered all over the ground, and it fell to the ground.

Xu Hei was overjoyed and spurted out another rock, smashing another big hole in the wild boar's head.

After he got close, he raised the stone on his tail and smashed it down hard. He smashed the wild boar's head three times in a row. He didn't stop until the other party stopped moving at all and no blood flowed anymore.

Spitting out the remaining stones in his mouth, Xu Hei breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's probably dead, but it could be a fake corpse."

Xu Hei still felt uneasy, so he broke off the four hooves and smashed the bones all over the body to prevent the body from being deceived.

Only then did I start taking measurements confidently and boldly.

Compared with my own body shape, it looks dull and just right.

"It is said that wild boar meat is harder than domestic pork. I hope it can last longer."

Xu Hei was thinking in his mind, opened his big mouth, and swallowed the wild boar in one gulp.

The fur of wild boar is very rough and the skin is tough, which takes longer to digest. The advantage is that it is more resistant to hunger.

Xu Hei started to swallow it from the head, and soon only two legs were left outside.

When pork enters the body, Xu Hei can clearly feel that a heat flow rises in the body. The wild boar meat is quickly digested and turned into pure Qi and blood, giving him a feeling of fullness. This is the benefit of food!

After a moment, the wild boar swallowed it completely. Xu Hei suddenly coughed violently. He opened his mouth and sprayed out a black crystal as big as an egg. It fell to the ground and turned out to be a demon core.

"Is this... the demon core of a wild boar?"

Xu's black snake scales stood up and his eyes widened.

wrong! How can a beast have a demon core? Could it be that...

Looking at the blood on the ground, Xu Hei later realized that he was cold-blooded and asked, "Is this a pig demon?"
